EPA-Certified Pumps Save Pool Owners Thousands of Dollars, While Promoting Superior Energy Efficiency
ELIZABETH, NJ--(Marketwire - Mar 25, 2013) - Hayward® Pool Products announced that its variable speed pumps have met the ENERGY STAR® certification requirements recently finalized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This is the first ENERGY STAR specification for pool pumps established by the EPA, and is part of the program's overall commitment to help prevent climate change by encouraging superior energy efficiency.
According to the EPA, ENERGY STAR certified pool pumps will save consumers thousands of dollars over their lifetime; can often pay for themselves in less than three years; as well as run quieter and prolong the life of a pool's filtering system. "We take Hayward's commitment to manufacturing environmental-responsible pool products very seriously," said Hayward Product Manager - Pumps and Above-Ground Equipment, Scott Petty. "So, we're pleased that the EPA is recognizing the important energy savings and overall environmental benefits that our pool pumps provide."
The Hayward variable speed models receiving ENERGY STAR certification are: EcoStar®, EcoStar® C, EcoStar® SVRS, EcoStar® C SVRS, Super Pump® VS, and Max-Flo VS™. All of these pumps will be labeled with ENERGY STAR labels to help both consumers and the trade recognize these energy efficient pumps. Additional Hayward pumps are being evaluated for the ENERGY STAR program and will be announced when available.
The EPA noted that many consumers do not realize how much energy is wasted by a typical pool pump -- citing that different pool operations require different pool pump speeds. ENERGY STAR certified pool pumps can run at different speeds and be programmed to match the pool operation with the appropriate pool pump speed. The reduction in energy consumption is considerable, given that a reduction in pump speed of one-half allows the pump to use just one-eighth as much energy.
Other pool pump-related facts provided by the EPA include:
To earn the ENERGY STAR label, Hayward's pumps had to be certified by an EPA-recognized third party, based on testing in an EPA-recognized laboratory. In addition, Hayward's products were required to participate in verification testing programs run by recognized certification bodies.
About ENERGY STAR
Launched in 1992 by the EPA, ENERGY STAR is a market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through superior energy efficiency. Over the past 20 years, with the help of ENERGY STAR, American families and businesses have saved over $230 billion on utility bills and prevented more than 1.8 billion metric tons of carbon pollution. The ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 65 different kinds of products with more than 5 billion sold.

East High's Hall of Fame
Former state Sen. Peter Groff, Colorado State University chancellor Joe Blake and jazz musician Ron Miles are among the 15 graduates inducted into the East High School Alumni Heritage Hall. This is the second group to be so honored.
The induction was part of a dinner ceremony held at Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Seven of the living honorees were present to accept their awards; others who could not attend sent family members or friends to accept on their behalf.
The Heritage Hall was established to recognize East HIgh graduates, both living and deceased, who have made their mark on history. Inductees include all-star athletes, award-winning authors, talented musicians, gifted artists, beloved educators, exceptional business leaders and political powerhouses. East is Denver's oldest public high school.
The morning after the dinner, the inductees returned to their alma mater — some for the first time in decades — to meet with students and to formally dedicate Heritage Hall. Most expressed their surprise at being chosen to receive the honor, and none believed their accomplishments were any more significant than any of the other inductees. Each recalled a high school memory or experience, and several gave personal words of advice to students. Students showed their respect by giving the inductees a standing ovation.
Thee 2010 inductees are:
Stephen Berry, Ph.D., Chemistry Professor, Class of 1948

Lynchian: Engineering that vision thing
Throughout his first term on City Council, Kevin Lynch has frequently sided with Mayor Maurice Cox– including a recent on-its-way-down vote in favor of the controversial Preston Commons development. Both envisioned a more pedestrian friendly, higher density Charlottesville, where a better transit system obviates the need for a car-clogged Meadowcreek Parkway.
"Maurice and I made a pretty good team," says Lynch. "He's the visionary guy. I'm the nuts and bolts guy."
But Cox is not seeking another term and Lynch is running for reelection in a field of four newcomers. Is he worried about losing his ally on council?
"No, I'm not," says Lynch, an electrical engineer who writes software for industrial clients. "We have a good vision. Now we have to start implementing it. That's where I have more strength."
The walls in Lynch's home office are covered with maps. He pulls out an overview that illustrates one of those visions: the Rivanna Greenways Trails, where one could bike from Forest Lakes to downtown.
Or there's the transportation vision: a convenient bus system in a city that's not quite big enough for a light rail.
And then there's his economic vision. "I want to shift from the bricks and mortar to the people side of economic development," he says, citing the need to understand poverty levels in an ever-less affordable city.
"It's easier to go get a Best Buy or a new parking lot," than to understand why the demand for social services keeps rising, he concedes.
One of those UVA grads who never left town, Lynch was drawn into politics when he bought his Locust Avenue house 12 years ago, and neighboring Martha Jefferson Hospital starting knocking down houses to expand.
Lynch became active in his neighborhood association, started "agitating" at City Council, met Cox, and now he's running for his second term on council.
Before entering politics, Lynch was better known as a founder of the local band Baaba Seth. He still plays the guitar, but has traded music for politics.
"I see a lot of parallels," he muses. "Both are somewhat satisfying on an artistic level, but the pay's lousy."
And no, he won't be coming up with a campaign song.
Age: 41
What brought you here? Engineering School
What's worst about living here? The General Assembly in Richmond- they want to turn the clock back to 1904, and it's becoming increasingly hard for Charlottesville to remain a bastion of 21st century civilization.
Favorite hangout? The Downtown Mall
Most overrated virtue? Necessity
What would people be surprised to know about you? My girlfriend teaches gymnastics to kids, and her students are always surprised to find that Miss K is my girlfriend.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I'd be better at remembering names.
What accomplishment are you proudest of? I can't really take credit for the trolley, but I was one of the early champions of it, and I was really gratified to see it become so popular. A lot of people didn't think it would be successful.
What do people find most annoying about you? I have high expectations of those around me.
Whom do you admire? People who give substantial amounts of their time to effect positive change
Favorite book? It's a toss-up between Thus Spoke Zarathustra and The Lorax.
What subject causes you to rant? Small-minded, selfish conservatism masquerading as populism.
What thrills you about life in the 21st century? The wealth of wisdom and resources left by previous generations for us to improve upon
What creeps you out about life in the 21st century? Corporate mass media is driving culture and politics to the lowest common denominator.
What do you drive? A bicycle, motorcycle, or truck, depending on the situation.
What's in your car CD/tape player right now? Cuban Revolucion Jazz (compilation)
What's your next journey? Four more years on City Council
What's the most trouble you've ever gotten in? Back in my college days, I was camping in South Florida with an old girlfriend over spring break. One night we camped in a bird sanctuary that was supposed to be closed after dark. It was next to a gated community, and early the next morning someone spotted where I parked the motorcycle and called the police. They found us in the tent and made us come down to the station and pay a whopping fine. Minor trouble with the law. Serious trouble with my girlfriend (the bird sanctuary was my idea).
What do you regret? That life is too short to pursue all of the opportunities that come up.
Favorite comfort food? Pizza
What's always in your refrigerator? Yogurt
Must-see TV? I don't have a TV.
Favorite cartoon? This Modern World
Describe a perfect day. A warm Saturday in May. No pressing deadlines. Ride my bicycle downtown to pick up a new CD at Spencer's on my way to a midmorning civic forum, which is well-attended, productive, and ends on time. Noodle around on my guitar for a while, then ride my motorcycle out to an afternoon party in the country, back in time to catch a movie or play with my girlfriend.
Walter Mitty fantasy? After four years, I've helped to bring about most of the Dems For Change platform and am about to retire from Council with the city in responsible, Democratic hands. I call up a few of my old bandmates, and we book a six-month tour of Central American dance clubs, all of which have great sound systems, good food, easy load-in, and fun crowds.
Who'd play you in the movie? Dave Chappel
Most embarrassing moment? Several years ago I went to the wrong church for a wedding.
Best advice you ever got? When my landlady talked me into buying a house in Charlottesville.
Favorite bumper sticker? "Brown, Hamilton & Lynch for City Council"
Kevin Lynch

In 1991, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors revisited the reconstruction of Doyle Drive and established the Doyle Drive Task Force. The Task Force considered design options and made recommendations that were approved by the Board of Supervisors in 1993. In 1994, the National Park Service released the Final General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) identifying the main objectives for Doyle Drive improvements, which focus on maintaining the historic value of the surrounding areas, minimizing noise and pollution impacts and enhancing the Presidio entrance and circulation features.
The San Francisco County Transportation Authority (Authority) developed the Doyle Drive Intermodal Study in 1996, which supports the Doyle Drive Task Force and the GMPA recommendation to make multi-modal and direct vehicular access into and out of the Presidio a central feature of the new roadway's design.
Environmental assessment for the project began in 2000, and the Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Report (DEIS/R) was released in 2005. On September 26, 2006, the Authority's Board of Commissioners unanimously selected the Presidio Parkway as the Preferred Alternative. Input received during the comment period, as well as refinements to the Preferred Alternative, are reflected in the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Report (FEIS/R) that was circulated in October 2008 and certified on December 16, 2008.
The history of Doyle Drive dates back to 1933 when the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway District (renamed in 1969 the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District) started construction on Doyle Drive as the southern approach to the Golden Gate Bridge. Doyle Drive was named after Frank P. Doyle, a director of the California State Automobile Association.

Mr. Doyle was a roadway advocate and civic leader, and the first private citizen to cross the Golden Gate Bridge. Doyle Drive was designed and built to operate with three, three meter (ten-foot) lanes in each direction, separated by painted double stripes. In September 1945, Doyle Drive became a state highway. Subsequently, the California Division of Highways, now known as Caltrans, assumed responsibility for maintenance of the section extending from the Golden Gate Bridge toll plaza to the Palace of Fine Arts and the Marina District of San Francisco.

Mansfield is a town in Bristol County, Massachusetts with over 23,000 residents. Incorporated in 1775, Mansfield is one of the oldest towns in the state.
Mansfield is known for its outstanding school system—earning a silver medal by U.S. News & World Report two years in a row. The town as four other schools from preschool to middle school rated above average by GreatSchools.org.
The town is a popular destination for music fans being the home to the Xfinity Center—an outdoor amphitheater that has been open since 1986. The 106acre concert venue is generally open from May to September and is one of the most popular destinations in New England.
Many residents of Mansfield live in Colonial style homes but a variety of real estate is available around town in different styles. Homes for sale in Mansfield vary in styles and prices and can accommodate any family size and budget.
Mansfield is a superb town for any commuter. The town features an MBTA Commuter Rail line which goes to Boston and Providence daily. The intersection of interstates 95 and 495 is located on the Mansfield-Foxboro town line, which makes automobile travel to the cities eminently feasible. Its convenient location is just the tip of the iceberg for a town with numerous attributes and features.
While Mansfield is well-suited for the commuter, an active wellspring of businesses makes the town a self-sustained commerce center. The Cabot Business Park is home to a wide number of national and international companies. With its campus-like styling, this 850-acre park is renowned for its location, aesthetics, and efficiency. Recreation and outdoor enjoyment flourish with two conservation areas and multiple natural recreation areas.

Mansfield has many standout qualities for the sports-lover.

Advice on how to have success growing second and third crops
after harvesting your spring vegetables
There is nothing I like more than being out in my vegetable garden in late March and April, working my soil in anticipation of a bountiful harvest. Temperatures at that time are usually splendid and I have no problem enjoying one of my favorite pastimes. As I fast-forward several months into the summer, my enthusiasm begins to wane as 90-degree days and high humidity begin to plague me. Not only do I have a problem staying active in such unbearable temperatures, but my plants always seem to be suffering as well. While many gardeners throw in the towel during the hottest part of summer and recline back in their air-conditioned homes, there is still an opportunity and possibility to extend your harvest season all the way until the cooler months of fall.
When talking about hot-temperature gardening, we need to examine what is happening to our plants. Just like you and I perspire more frequently during hot temperatures, plants also sweat in a way by transpiring. As plants move precious water and minerals through their systems, they transpire the moisture through their leaves more frequently as the temperature escalates. This makes it even more critical to keep a careful eye on your vegetable irrigation as we hit temperatures above 85 F. It only takes a day or two of drought or poor water management and you can potentially lose the crop. Pay particular attention to raised-bed gardens; they will dry out more quickly than conventional planting.
Because of the high temperatures, evaporation of the moisture from the soil will be more extreme. For this reason, irrigation should be delivered through soaker hoses or a drip system rather than overhead watering. It is also recommended to irrigate between 9 p.m. up until 9 a.m. During this time period you will experience less evaporation and allow the foliage to dry off. This will lead to fewer instances of disease.
Plants such as okra may love the hot, humid environment, but you will need to keep a close eye on water loving plants such as corn, cucumbers, and squash.
Another way to survive the dog days of summer and produce a healthy crop is to continue staggered new plantings of vegetables every few weeks up through the middle of summer. This gives you fresh, healthy crops while you continue to harvest from your older and possibly exhausted plants.
As a crop fizzles out in the garden, it is important to remove it and perhaps add it to your compost pile. Leaving expired plants in the garden can lead to the introduction of diseases and invasion of possible insects.
Planting new seeds or transplants during the hot temperatures of summer is a bit more challenging. You will need to nurse them along for the first week or two, supplying adequate irrigation. You may even want to consider using some type of screen or shade material to provide them relief in the hot afternoons for a couple of weeks as they acclimate to their new hostile environment.
Spraying for disease, weeds, and insects as season wears on.
You have probably noticed an increase in disease and insect activity in the heat of the summer. While 90 percent of the bugs you see may be beneficial, the bad guys are more likely to show up during the hot months. This is when you need to be scouting your garden frequently for any signs of an outbreak. While I don't normally recommend preventive insect sprays, you may need to apply a product if you spot existing insect damage. I begin by applying some type of organic insecticide that is more environmentally friendly, but still effective. I prefer to spray insecticide applications late in the day, when there is less chance of hitting beneficial pollinators that are in the garden. Pollinators tend to fly early in the morning on sunny days, so you should avoid spraying at that time.
Tomatoes are perhaps some of the most difficult to keep alive late in the season because they are so susceptible to problems. In order to extend the life of your current tomato plants, plan on pruning them frequently. I like to eliminate most of the lower branches so that none of the foliage touches the ground. I also pinch out the suckers between the main branches and eliminate some of the non-bearing structure to allow more air and sunlight to penetrate the plants. Just take care not to over prune your tomatoes because the actual fruits benefit from the shade provided by the foliage.
In late summer, mulch is a gardener's best friend. I use various types of mulch throughout the garden season to help me keep weeds at bay and hold moisture in the soil. Newspaper laid three layers thick can be excellent mulch around your plants. After laying it down, I immediately wet it to keep it in place. I then cover it with an organic mulch of some type of straw or bark to hold it in place and provide an extra layer of protection. Weeds do not mind the heat or humidity at all, and tend to grow rapid during the summer. You might consider using a combination of mulch and hand pulling or tilling to keep them under control. Weeds are always easier to remove when they are young. The drip irrigation we mentioned earlier will also help in your weed management. Drip irrigation applies the water directly to the target plant, and does not water all of the areas between rows like overhead watering does. Remember that overhead watering is watering your plants, but also giving your weeds an energizing drink.
Remember to keep an eye on the fertility needs of your summer garden. While the initial phosphorous and potassium that you applied earlier in the season may still be available, the nitrogen is most likely long exhausted. Continually bearing plants such as tomatoes, squash, peppers, and okra will need additional nitrogen every two or three weeks throughout the growing season. Target the application close to the plants but not right next to the stem. Sprinkle the fertilizer evenly 6-8 inches away from the base of the plant. It makes good sense to irrigate soon after applying the fertility so that the plant may begin to absorb it quickly. Care should be taken when using liquid fertilizers – do not apply too much nitrogen. Liquid nitrogen formulations can be difficult to calibrate and apply correctly. I recommend using them at half the labeled rate. Remember that the amount of time you spray each plant can double or even triple the rate of application.
One final piece of advice is to harvest your garden frequently. Summer vegetables can develop rapidly. If left on the vine too long, that can signal the plant to shut down, because it has accomplished its goal of reproducing seed. By harvesting frequently, we accomplish three things. We trigger the plant into continuing to reproduce; we harvest a vegetable that is more tender and tasty; and by harvesting a young vegetable, we help prevent insect invaders that hone in on older, maturing fruit.
I am a cool weather kind of guy, and I don't particularly enjoy hot, humid weather. However, my appetite is stronger than my desire to stay cool. I love the taste of fresh vegetables, and I want them all season long. You too can enjoy an extended summer harvest if you can bear a bit of the nasty temperatures and do a few of the preventive measures in this article. And the bonus is that you get to eat the delicious harvest in the comfort of your air-conditioned home.

I'm contemplating making an extended stay in London around the Who Do You Think You Are Live event next February. Various friends have stayed in long(er)-stay accommodations so I asked BIFHSGO colleague Brenda Turner, who stayed earlier in the year, for advice.
"I regularly find it more convenient, cheaper, and much more flexible to rent a cottage or flat than a hotel room, whenever I happen to be staying in one place for more than 5 days. I've rented flats or cottages through these companies, plus others in locations which would not be of interest to you. Even when dealing with owners directly, rather than a company, I have never once been ripped off in any way in two decades of rentals. Most often, I have found the owners very friendly and helpful, and most anxious that I enjoy my stay. In London I find it best to book as close to tube stops as possible, and especially I try to find rentals to which two tube stops on different lines are walkable, for mobility in case one line is down for maintenance, or accidents.
Here are the companies I have used in the UK:
Vacation Rental By Owner: http://www.vrbo.com/
Home Away: http://www.holiday-rentals.co.uk/
Country Cottages: http://www.english-country-cottages.co.uk/
Cottages4You: http://www.cottages4you.co.uk/
Apartments Apart: http://www.apartmentsapart.com/london_hotels/index.htm
Holiday Lettings: http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/Glenn Wright mentioned http://sabbaticalhomes.com/
The new company I heard about from a chum just a few days ago is called Saco. This chum and family rented a flat just by the Vauxhall Bridge, and were astonished to realize that they had a balcony overlooking the Thames during the Jubilee Flotilla, which they had not planned for at all! They were very pleased with the services they had as well. http://www.sacoapartments.com/"
Please share any experience you have had with these or other similar services in the comments.

I don't, as a rule, leave my house on Black Friday. What that means is that my Christmas shopping really doesn't begin until right about, well, now.
As I think about buying gifts, I'm confronted with the same basic quandary others face in Chestnut Hill – how much shopping will I do locally?
To shop here on the Avenue for me is definitely convenient. I'm here every day. I can easily walk to most shops from the Local's office door. But of course there are other issues.
Today, competition for the mom and pop shops on the Avenue has never been greater. There are several big shopping malls a half-hour drive from here. There are big box retailers like Walmart and Target in nearby Cheltenham. I can do all my shopping at my desk on Amazon.com, which, literally, has everything, and has it cheaper.
The cases against making those choices and shopping local are many. Local shops have the convenience of not risking your neck in a mall parking lot or wasting way precious moments of your life in line. You tend to get better service at small Avenue shopes. And there are many things you can get here that you can't find in the mall or at Target.
But more important than that, I think, is the question of making a choice that benefits your neighborhood – whether it's the neighborhood in which you live or work. Spending money locally helps the local economy and, therefore, is a benefit to you.
Heard that argument before? Probably. The counter is always the same: "Look, I'm going to shop where I can afford to and where the prices are lower."
It's tough to argue that people should spend a little more money or shop a little bit harder to keep more of their business local. On general principle, the engines of our economy have picked up where prices and labor are cheaper – see China – and to suggest otherwise is simply counterintuitive. It's not good capitalism.
You'd think we're smarter than that now. That we know sending our business elsewhere, just because it's cheaper, is not productive. In fact, it is self destructive. Why can't Germantown Avenue support more retails choices? Why are big retailers vacant? Because people – we the people – aren't shopping here. It's that simple.
No, I'm not trying to guilt you into changing your shopping habits. Or telling you to spend more here. But I think it is important to try a little harder and think about opportunities to shop here when you can.
When you spend money here, you keep money here, help more people stay employed here and keep those shops from going vacant. And in the long run, that makes your neighborhood and your home more valuable.

Turkey can be made for any holiday. Of course it gets made for Thanksgiving but many families make it for Christmas too. Last year I made it for New Years.
Brining a turkey is my preferred method. Don't get me wrong, I have been known for throwing a bird in the oven with little effort and the family loves it just the same, but if you are going for the gold medal, this is it in my family.
Brining a bird takes time. You need to have it defrosted one day earlier than you normally would. Making the brine takes about ten minutes. If you have a very small bird, you can get away with using the largest stock pot you can find. We did that the first year we brined. But if you are feeding a crowd, you need a larger container. I have heard of people using coolers but then you get into an issue of constantly worrying about the bird remaining cold. You still have to keep it refrigerated or the equivalent during the brining. I bought a plastic container from Smart & Final a couple years ago. They are not expensive. You could also double or triple up plastic bags and place in a bowl in case it leaks. The first year I heard about brining, it was from a girlfriend who placed hers in a trash bag. I guess anything works.
First thing first! Make the Brine!
4 cups of POM juice
1 bottle white wine
16 cups of water
1 cup of Kosher salt
1 Onion sliced
1 orange quartered
1 head of garlic cut in half
2 TB Peppercorns, smashed
a hand full of rosemary
a hand full of sage
4 ribs of celery
4 carrots
1 onion quartered
neck from the turkey and the gizzards
1/2 box of Turkey or Chicken Stock
Heat half the water (about 4 cups) up and dissolve the salt completely. Add the other half of the water (I like to add it as ice but whatever you want will work fine) POM, wine.
Mixture should not be warm now in any way. If it is, then walk away until it is cooled enough to put the turkey in it. (Warm water would start the process of cooking and somebody would end up sick.) Mix the remaining ingredients in the liquid and add turkey. REFRIGERATE FOR 24 HOURS at the most of the night before.
I buy this container of herbs. I just toss the whole thing in.
Put the turkey in breast side down. You want the breast to get as much brine as possible.
When you are ready to cook, pull the bird out of the liquid and place onto a stack of paper towels.
Pat the entire bird dry. I will let it sit on my kitchen counter for up to 30 minutes. You really want it dry so you don't steam the bird.
Lets prepare the roasting pan! Place 4 ribs of celery, 4 carrots, 1 onion quartered, neck from the turkey and the gizzards on the bottom of your roasting pan. Pour 1/2 container of Turkey or Chicken Stock right over the vegetables.The vegetables and the drippings of the turkey will flavor the turkey stock making the most amazing liquid that you will thicken into gravy after the turkey is cooked!
Place the turkey in your roasting pan. Oil the outside of the bird with some oil. I am using olive oil but canola or vegetable would be fine. I used to use butter but I have found you get crisper skin if you don't. If you like using butter, then have at it! Salt and pepper the bird. Most birds come with the legs already trussed. If yours are not, take some kitchen twine and tie the legs together. I like to stuff the bird with the same herbs that was in the brine and an orange cut up. But frankly you could not stuff it with anything.
Roast 350 degrees for 15 minutes per pound. I like to baste the bird every hour. The ladies in my family would do it every 30 minutes and I find that it cools the oven down too much and lengthens the cooking time. Once per hour is perfect.If your bird is small and you only baste it once, don't freak! Its perfect. If you notice that the skin is getting too dark, tent some foil over it. We like the skin dark and crispy.I will have to fight the family away once I get the bird out. Everyone wants to grab skin. Vultures!!
Once your timer goes off and it should be done, take your meat thermometer and check the bird. I like the breast to say 160 and the thighs to say 175. Make sure that the thermometer does not tough a bone. If you are braver than me and check the meat at a lesser amount, great for you! I am afraid of undercooked turkey. These are the numbers I go by! I managed to get a bird with the pop up timer. This is really handy!
Place your bird either on your serving dish or the cutting board. I, personally toss the bird on the cutting board. Let it rest for 15 minutes. This means, DO NOT CUT IT YET!!
1 cup of white wine
3 TB butter
3 TB Wonder Flour
1/2 box Turkey or Chicken Stock
This 15 minutes is perfect for making the gravy. Take your turkey roasting pan (If you are using an electric roasting pan that is fine, keep using the electric roasting pan) and put it onto the stove. You might as well make the gravy right in the same pan. Less clean up. Strain all the veggies and the turkey neck and giblets out of the pan. Keep the liquid. I like to put it all in a giant measuring bowl.
Take a spoon and skim off the fat on the top. You can toss all that fat. Over Medium high heat, take your empty roasting pan, and deglaze (which is a fancy word for removing the bits off the bottom of the pan) the pan with 1 cup of dry white wine. Make sure this is something you would enjoy drinking. If you do not drink wine, grab a bottle of Turning Leaf Pino Griggio. Its not too pricey and will work nicely.Scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen anything that stuck to it. I like to focus on the sides. This will take maybe 30 seconds. Now add all the liquids you placed in the measuring bowl from the roasting pan. Bring it back up to heat. While it is heating, take 3 TB butter (room temperature) and mix with 3 TB Wonder Flour. It will make a paste.Take that and put into the roasting pan. The liquid in the pan will melt the butter. Keep stirring. Remember that 1/2 box of Turkey or Chicken Stock you used in the bottom of the turkey pan? Have it handy. As the butter melts and the mixture thickens you will need to add the turkey stock. Lower the heat to low. It happens pretty fast and before you know it, you are adding the stock. Keep whisking it. It should be the perfect consistency. Taste and see if it needs salt and pepper. Mine always needs a tad. Serve!

Roasted Brussel Sprouts
Brussel Sprouts were not my favorite growing up. In fact I used to feed them to my grandmother's dog under the table. Babe would eat just about anything, including my much hated Brussel Sprouts. Now they are one of my favorite vegetables. You just need to dress them up a bit. They take well to the butter, garlic and wine that I am roasting them in. These are perfect for a Holiday meal. This so easy yet tastes so divine that you can easily fool your guests.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts
2 bags of Brussel Sprouts or about 4 cups
5 cloves of garlic minced
3/4 cup white wine
3 TB butter melted
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 lemon juiced
salt and pepper
You will need enough foil to completely cover a cookie sheet. I like to line the bottom for easy cleanup too.
Take the Brussels sprouts and slice in have from the stem. Toss on the foil lined cookie sheet.
Squeeze 1/2 lemon on the sprouts. This will keep them a nice vibrant green. Add the minced garlic, butter and pepper flakes to them.
Cover with the wine.
Seal up well and roast in a 350 oven for about 30 - 45 minutes.

Creamy Chicken Vegetable Soup
I grew up on soups. I lived a huge portion of my childhood in snow country. When it was cold, you wanted something that would warm you up. Now I live in the opposite of snow country and complain when the weather gets below 60 degrees. I am good for complaining. This soup will warm you whether it is snowing outside or just a little foggy. This soup is a favorite of mine because it reminds me of a pot pie. I topped with some puff pastry and savored each bite.
Creamy Chicken Vegetable Soup
1 1/2 cups chopped Carrots
1 1/2 cups chopped Celery
1 Onion chopped
1 cup Mushrooms sliced
2 cans of Cream of Chicken Soup
1 carton of chicken stock
2 cups chopped chicken
2 potatoes, peeled and chopped (set aside in water until ready to use)
I didn't have any leftover chicken so I cooked the chicken and set aside.
Get all your veggies together. Put 2 TB oil in the bottom of a soup pan. Saute carrots, celery and onions. Make sure you salt and pepper. You are not looking to completely cook. Add the mushrooms.
Add the two cans of cream of chicken soup.
Add the chicken stock and potatoesDo not add the water from the potatoes
Let simmer until the potatoes are cooked
Serve with your favorite rolls or some puff pastry

Baked Pub Cheese
This is all Trader Joes fault. I am on a Blame Trader Joes rant. Have you tried their Pub Cheese? It is the death of me. I had it at a jewelry party a couple months ago. I made a complete ass out of myself ignoring the pretty jewelry and eating this cheese. I did buy a necklace so the night wasn't a complete failure.
When I buy this cheese, the family (or most of it) fights over it. It never lasts one sitting. So the next day I am left with a craving for it. I have devised my version which The Fireman has declared better than Trader Joe's. Take that Trader Joe's!!
This is perfect for 2-4 people. If you are serving more than that, I recommend you double the recipe and put in the large bread bowl.
1 sourdough bread bowl
1/2 cup mayo
1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1 cup cheddar cheese grated
1/4 cup nacho sliced jalapeno peppers diced
1 TB diced Ortega Chili's diced
Lob off the top of the Sourdough bread and hallow it out, saving the inside for dipping.
Take the mayo, cheeses, and add the jalapenos, and chilis and mix well in a bowl.
I always have these in the house. I buy the large can knowing I will use it up during the week with quesadillas or rice.
I go easy on the mayo and use just enough to mix it all up. The more you use the thinner the dip will be which would be just fine too.
Fill the bread bowl up and place into a baking tin just in case it bubbles over. I keep these old disposable tins for stuff like this. I re use them until I have to toss them.
Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30 minutes
Serve with the bread you saved or even tortilla chips
Have a steak knife ready, you will want to eat the bread too

Although the court concluded in Loving, et al. v. IRS, et al. that it may be wise as a policy matter to allow the IRS to regulate tax-return preparers more stringently, the court held firm to its traditional tools of statutory interpretation and ruled that Section 330 did not allow for such regulation. Section 330 authorizes the IRS to "regulate the practice of representatives of persons before the Department of the Treasury." The IRS interpreted the statute to mean that it authorized the regulation of tax-return preparers. However, three independent tax-return preparers argued that the interpretation of the IRS exceeded the agency's authority under the statute. The court decided to handle the issue of whether Section 330 gives the IRS authority to regulate tax-return preparers by employing all of the tools of statutory interpretation. These tools include text, structure, purpose, and legislative history.
First, the court found that the term "representatives" in the statute should not include tax-return preparers because a representative is traditionally someone who has the authority to bind others. Tax-return preparers cannot legally bind the taxpayer by acting on the taxpayer's behalf. Second, the phrase "practice…before the Department of the Treasury" ordinarily refers to practice during an investigation, adversarial hearing, or other adjudicative proceeding, which is different from the process of filing a tax return. Next, the court considers the history of the statute. The original language of the statute enacted in 1884 would not encompass tax-return preparers. The statute specified the agency's regulation of "agents, attorneys, or other persons representing claimants before his Department…otherwise competent to advise and assist such claimants in the presentation of their cases." Furthermore, when Congress re-codified the statute, it made it clear that there was no substantive change. Therefore, the court held that the traditional tools of statutory interpretation rendered the IRS's interpretation of Section 330 unreasonable and thus affirmed the judgment of the District Court.

"There has been little science and lots of misinformation cited on the topic of gunshot injuries in children," said Craig Newgard, principal investigator for the study and director of the Center for Policy and Research in Emergency Medicine at OHSU. "This study was intended to add some objective data to the conversation."
Previous studies on gunshot injuries in children have focused almost exclusively on mortality. This study is one of few to include the much broader number of children affected by gunshot injuries and served by 911 emergency services, both in-hospital and out-of-of hospital measures of injury severity, and children with gunshot injuries treated outside major trauma centers.
To conduct this research, Newgard and his OHSU colleagues, in addition to investigators from UC Davis and other centers in the western United States, reviewed data from nearly 50,000 injured children aged 19 and younger for whom 911 emergency medical services (EMS) were activated over a three-year period in five western regions: Portland, Ore.; Vancouver, Wash.; King County, Wash.; Sacramento, Calif.; Santa Clara Calif.; and Denver, Colo.
The research team looked at the number of injuries, severity of injury, type of hospital interventions, patient deaths and costs-per-patient in children with gunshot injuries compared with children whose injuries resulted from other mechanisms, including stabbing, being hit by a motor vehicle, struck by blunt object, falls, motor vehicle crashes and others.
They found that compared with children who had other mechanisms of injury, children injured by gunshot had the highest proportion of serious injuries (23 percent), major surgery (32 percent), in-hospital deaths (8 percent) and per-patient costs ($28,000 per patient).
"While children with gunshot wounds made up only 1 percent of the sample, they accounted for more than 20 percent of deaths following injury and a disproportionate share of hospital costs," said Nathan Kuppermann, professor and chair of emergency medicine at the UC Davis Medical Center and co-author of the study. "The collaboration among the 10 emergency departments in the Western Emergency Services Translational Research Network enabled us to amass a large enough sample size to assess the physical and financial impact of gunshot injuries in children so that more effective injury prevention efforts can be developed."
The investigators concluded that public health, injury prevention and health-policy solutions are needed to reduce gunshot injuries in children and their major health consequences. The researchers state that curbing these preventable events will require broad-based interdisciplinary efforts, including rigorous research partnerships with national organizations, and evidence-based legislation.
"Over the first decade of the 21st century, firearms ranked second only to motor vehicles as a cause of death for children and teenagers — Americans ages 1-19 — considered as a group," said Garen Wintemute, the study's senior author and director of the UC Davis Violence Prevention Research Program. "We hope the findings of this study will help point the way toward effective prevention measures."
This multi-region, population-based, retrospective study used the Western Emergency Services Translational Research Network. Authors include: Craig Newgard and Brian Wetzel from Oregon Health Sciences University; Nathan Kuppermann, James F. Holmes and Garen Wintemute from UC Davis; Jason Haukoos from the University of Colorado; Renee Hsia from the University of California, San Francisco; Ewen Wang and Kristan Stauden-Mayer from Stanford University; Eileen Bulger from the University of Washington; and N. Clay Mann and Erik Barton from the University of Utah.
The study was supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Physician Faculty Scholars Program; California Wellness Foundation (2010-067); the Oregon Clinical and Translational Research Institute (UL1 RR024140); UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center (UL1 RR024146); Stanford Center for Clinical and Translational Education and Research (1UL1 RR025744); University of Utah Center for Clinical and Translational Science (UL1-RR025764 and C06-RR11234); and University of California San Francisco Clinical and Translational Science Institute (UL1 RR024131).

Selection of medicines in emergencies
Guidelines for medicine donations
UN agencies and international and nongovernmental organizations are increasingly called upon to respond to large-scale emergencies to prevent and manage serious threats to the survival and health of the affected populations. Guidelines for medicine donations in emergencies have been developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in cooperation with major international agencies active in humanitarian relief. The Guidelines for Drug Donations was updated in 2010.
Interagency emergency health kit
Since 1990, the supply of medicines and medical devices by relief agencies has been standardized and endorsed by international and non-governmental organizations. This approach allows efficient and effective responses with pre-packed kits to meet priority health needs in emergencies.
The Interagency Emegency Health Kit 2011 is now avalailable in English, French and Spanish.
- The Interagency Emergency Health Kit 2011
- Kit sanitaire d'urgence interinstitutions 2011
- El Botiquín Médico Interinstitucional de Emergencia de 2011
This document is the outcome of the IEHK Review Committee.

"You work too hard." ^ *
You've heard that before.
If you are an executive in this business world, you probably
do. But if you are in good health, say the doctors, good
hard work will not hurt you. The tensions and anxieties
that go along with it probably will.
"You need to get away."
You've heard that one, too. And you did take a month
off last year. This is little good if you get away only physically—
you need to get away from the office mentally.
Most psychologists agree that this is not difficult, but
most important, for the busy executive.
It is most difficult, psychologists say, because the executive
often feels guilty about walking away from unfinished
work, is afraid he may not have covered everything before
he left, or because he got to the top by over-compensating
for his fear of failure and is afraid to take time off.
But it is most important, not only for the executive's
health, but for his business. To keep at anything too long
impairs the executive's mental vision and his view of reality
becomes distorted. Some psychologists say we have
latent sources in our subconscious for dealing with problems.
When we get away from a problem, these factors go
to work. When we come back, the solution is there.
Psychologists add quickly that they do not discourage
hard work or a man's desire to compete and achieve. They
say that the man who is committed to his work and is truly
immersed in it often gets far more out of life than the one
who never gets really involved in anything.
The secret, they say, is to relax. And they admit this is
difficult. It takes a substantial amount of self-insight and
understanding, but each man must find the way that works
for him.

Anti-Vibration System
STIHL has developed a system for minimizing the vibration levels of handheld outdoor power equipment. The STIHL anti-vibration system helps reduce operator fatigue and provides a more comfortable working experience.
Decompression Valve
The decompression valve reduces the compression in the combustion chamber during cranking and helps reduce the effort needed to pull the starter rope.
Electronic Water Control (EWC)
Electronic Water Control allows the operator to easily adjust the flow of water while cutting and stops the water flow when the machine is at idle.
Electronically Controlled Fuel Injection System
The fuel injection system makes starting easier and more reliable by eliminating the choke. Just set the switch to on, prime and pull.
Ergonomic Grip
The ergonomic top-handle bar design provides an optimal comfortable grip in any working position.
Reduced-Emission Engine Technology
The STIHL Inc. "Caring for Nature" seal identifies its powered products that are more environmentally conscious, producing zero or low exhaust emissions. STIHL Inc. defines "low exhaust emissions" as being cleaner than EPA and/or CARB exhaust emission standards.
Semi-Automatic Belt Tensioning
With consistent, semi-automatic re-tensioning, this feature increases the service life of the belts and shaft bearings.
STIHL ElastoStart™
The ElastoStart™ starter handle is a feature of STIHL. It is a starting grip with a built-in shock absorber that helps reduce the effort when pulling on the starter cord. The ElastoStart™ starter grip noticeably reduces the sudden peak forces (compression) normally felt during cranking. The forces which occur at the grip after the first compression stroke are smoothed out.
X2 Air Filtration System
The X2 Air Filtration System revolutionizes the cut-off machine industry by allowing air filters to last up to a year, based on cutting conditions. Outside air enters the system in a swirling motion, removing 80% of dust particles. This pre-cleaned air is then routed through the primary and secondary air filters before being sent into the engine. The X2 Air Filtration System is virtually maintenance free and maintains an incredible 99.96% cleaning efficiency.

Weaver Continues to Dominate as the Angels Bring Their Losing Streak to a Halt
What's what? Oh. That. Why, yes, that is a lit halo to the right there. *beams* Jered Weaver pitched a complete game shut out tonight to lead the Angels to victory over the A's. With a record of 6 and 0 in the first 23 games of the Angels season, Weave now holds the franchise record for wins at this point in the season and is one of only four pitchers in Major League Baseball to go 6 and 0 in March and April.
I snapped the photo of the halo as we exited the game, having decided on a whim to catch the next Weaver start. Good decision. We managed to get to the game and to our seats just in time for first pitch, a rare feat indeed on a weeknight, and what a game. Weaver, of course, was very much on his game – ten strikeouts and only 1 walk. He did give up seven hits – three of them to Coco Crisp who really had a great game – but that is where the rest of the Angels came in, preserving Weaver's shutout and proving that the poor fielding of the Red Sox series was nothing more than a really bad four days.
Peter Bourjos, Torii Hunter and Vernon Wells all had great catches in the outfield. Jeff Mathis and Erick Aybar picked off Crisp at second on an attempted steal that saw Aybar sticking to Crisp like a burr and applying the tag as he overslide the base slightly. Aybar had another fantastic play, fielding the ball well onto the grass and executing a perfect leaping throw to first base just in time to throw out Daric Barton and end the 8th inning…okay, actually the Angels benefitted from the umpire's angle on that call. Seen from another angle, Barton was just barely safe, but it was a really close play and bad umpire calls will certainly cut both ways over the course of a season – see previous post.
And the bats decided to pay a visit again! Everyone hit tonight except for Jeff Mathis and Torii. Poor Torii. He usually heats up with the weather so April is not his best month to begin with and, after last season, I just plain think he's trying too hard. I'm sure his bat will not remain silent for very long. Wells singled, Alberto Callaspo doubled and then Howie Kendrick doubled to bring them both home in the bottom of the second inning to give Weave early run support. Timely hits by Bourjos, Aybar and Bobby Abreu provided additional runs.
All in all, it was a fantastic game for the whole team and the perfect cure for the Red Sox blues…until we visit Fenway next month where, hopefully, we can devise an even better cure, like winning a few games…but I digress. Even the Angels fans rocked this game. I am sitting here sipping hot tea to soothe a throat happily hoarse from cheering as I type this. Seth and I sat in the front of the Right Field Pavillion this evening and right field fans are usually loud and enthusiastic but tonight, everything was amplified and we treated the players to a cheering, yelling, clapping, sign waving frenzy of support. Asked at the end of his post game interview why he was pitching so well this season, Weaver first credited the rest of the team and then said "Maybe it's all of these great Angels fans who come out and cheer for us." And mentioned that the crowd cheering his name really pumped him up. How sweet is that? Lights out pitcher and great with the fans to boot.
Here are some photos I took of the game including my view from left center (4 rows behind the wall):
