For most people in this country, the word cholesterol is synonymous with death and disease. That's because the pharmaceutical companies have created a nonexistent disease called hypercholesterolemia, which simply means "high cholesterol." Many of my patients are indeed worried if they have a total cholesterol score above 200 because they don't know what constitutes a healthy cholesterol level.
But I'd like you to know that high cholesterol is not a death sentence. It's simply a signal that you should have a more sophisticated blood test that will measure the various subtypes of your LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol, and tell you whether your cholesterol warrants attention or is merely elevated.
This type of information, which hasn't been available until recently, can then help you make health and lifestyle choices that will have the best odds of improving your situation and obtaining and maintaining a healthy cholesterol level.
Healthy Cholesterol Levels Defined
Once you've had your cholesterol levels checked by one of the newer generation blood lipid tests, such as the Vertical Auto Profile (VAP) test or the Lipoprotein Particle Profile (LPP) test, there are certain ranges you want your scores to be in for a number of different categories. Here are my recommendations for a healthy cholesterol level:
Total cholesterol: 180–250 mg/dL
Total HDL cholesterol: 40–120 mg/dL for women; 35–120 mg/dL for men
HDL cholesterol subtypes: Greater than 25 mg/dL for HDL2; greater than 15 mg/dL for HDL3
Total LDL cholesterol: 80–140 mg/dL
LDL cholesterol subtype Lp(a): less than 30 mg/dL for a standard blood test; less than 10 mg/dL for a VAP test
Total triglycerides: 50–100 mg/dL
Triglycerides subtype VLDL3: less than 10 mg/dL
In addition to the recommended healthy cholesterol level ranges above, your doctor can review your test results to see if your LDL cholesterol is mostly made up of large, fluffy particles that are not dangerous, or small, dense particles (known as "LDL-pattern-B") that are dangerous.
If it turns out that your LDL cholesterol is mostly of the small, dense variety, you will want to address your cholesterol levels much more aggressively than if your LDL cholesterol is mostly the large, fluffy type.

"I love these boots and get compliments on them often. The color is great and the leather is soft and the wear that shows on them only adds to the character of them. The one negative complaint I have with these boots is that there is no zipper, so I have to be very careful while putting them on so that I don't break down the heel support. That aside, these are a great pair of boots!"

Comfy and look great once you get them on
"I love these boots but they are hard to get on. Seems if there was a half zipper at the ankle. I got them anyway because once on they feel good and look great."

"Was looking for a long time for a pair of boots with a large buckle feature and found these. I love the distressed look of the leather. I am tall and boots usually don't come up high enough over my calf, but not these! They come to just below the knee when pulled up straight. The leather is relaxed (not stiff), so they do tend to slouch a bit, but they still look great!"

"These are really pretty shoes - Love the style! They are very high, but feel solid and sturdy.I will return them, however, because the leather on the heel of the foot pushes and pinches right up under my ankle bones. I could tell within a few moments of walking in them it would be a painful experience to wear them."

"Talk about comfort, style and overall satisfaction! I will be honest, I own these shoes in nude, black and red. First the nude purchase was made...and after wearing them for an 8-hour day I realized it's just smart shoe shopping to get these in other colors! ha ha! (shoe lover website, right!?) You will not be disappointed with these shoes. True to size and don't pinch. They have a classic and elegant look that can be dressed up or casual. If Fergie made these in more colors, I'd probably own those too!"

Great shoes
"Comfortable height (for someone used to high heels), nicely padded sole, true to size, and quite comfortable in every other aspect as well. The peep toe fortunately doesn't squeeze the life out of my toes, and the T strap makes these very stable on the feet. I loved the casual yet sophisticated look of these enough that I purchased them in black and burgundy. The sides of the shoe (around the ankles) just come up slightly too high and may be a bit uncomfortable at times."

The Emery County Business chamber bimonthly Lunch and Learn focused on drugs and the workplace. Julie Jones, chamber president welcomed everyone. Wade Allinson from the Emery County drug task force was the main speaker. Emery Telcom was the luncheon sponsor and Jared Anderson from Emery Telcom said the company is working on fiber builds. It's important for businesses in the community to be able to have high speed data transfers. Emery Telcom will help businesses streamline their costs to take advantage of all technology Emery Telcom has to offer. These fiber builds will be able to offer the county businesses upgrades and more chances for economic development.
Cindi Avery was the caterer for the Lunch and Learn and the operator of the Lil Country Store in Cleveland. They recently remodeled the store and started cooking hot food to serve the customers better. Connie Jones has worked at the store for 14 years and she's been a big asset as the store changed owners.
Avery said, "We offer, soup, burgers and specials. We have gas and groceries. I enjoy cooking. I have cooked and catered and owned my own business. We are a grocery and convenience store, we have tables and chairs for the customers. I have two employees and my daughters and grandkids who help with the business."
Allinson said he works for the Emery County Drug Task Force and the Adult Probation and Parole. He has been involved for 20 years. He likes the perspective of the AP and P, he likes helping the people on probation find jobs and deal with the challenge of being on probation.
Drugs are different than when he started in the 1990s, back then it was meth labs and people cooking meth and situations were very volatile and dangerous. Many law enforcement officers are suffering from the affects of those days and being exposed to dangerous chemicals. The precursor act which took away ephedrone, put an end to most of that activity. Meth is still around, but it's not as pervasive as it once was. "Prescription drugs are crazy. It would shock you if you knew how much buying and selling goes on. You can buy pills in every town. There is no social boundary to these drugs. It can affect everyone and oftentimes it starts innocently and people get hooked on pain pills after an injury.
"Be watchful of your employees, a lot of drugs are stolen from purses and coat pockets. If someone comes into your home and asks to use your restroom, then be suspicious. Drug users like to go through medicine cabinets. Warning signs also come up when people use multiple doctors. It's against the law if you have a prescription from a doctor to go to another doctor and get a prescription for the same illness. It's illegal not to disclose you have a prescription for it. Pharmacies are supposed to report on a statewide data base, who has prescriptions for what drug and who the doctor was.
"If you suspect someone has a problem there are places to get help. You can find a therapist.
"I went to AP and P because I believe people can change. I believe you can overcome addiction. Opiate addictions are hard to overcome.
"Heroin is still around. Ritalin is an abused drug. In kids it's supposed to slow them down. But, with adults it speeds them up. Kids get involved with fentanyl patches and it's an opiate patch that time releases into the system. Kids take them and suck on them and it's very, very dangerous. It's so strong and kids don't realize. Check their cell phones. There's a language for pills, they are called blueberries, cheese and other nicknames.
"A lortab will go for $10 an oxycontin pill for $20. There are people who will buy entire prescriptions, it's amazing the market that's out there. If you have someone tell you they are hurting and need a pain med and you happen to have a prescription and you give them a pill that's illegal and you're breaking the law. Don't do it," cautioned Allinson.
One audience member pointed out, she's had employees file workman's compensation claims so they could get pain medication. Allinson recommended all companies have a drug testing policy. Drug testing is really a benefit for the employees. You don't want employees on drugs operating equipment, it's dangerous to them, their fellow workers and to the general public. It can also be a liability for an employer.
Allinson said it's hard to tell who is on drugs. If you have a prescription and you haven't used it all, call the sheriff's office and have them pick-up the unused portion so it can be disposed of properly.
Sundays are a big day for thefts that occur when someone walks into your home and goes through the medicine cabinet. Lock your doors. Go in one car and leave a car home, so it looks like someone is home.
You cannot operate a motorvehicle with a metabolite within your system. Be aware this is a crime. If you are using any type of prescription pain medication you could be considered driving under the influence.
People can get help at Four Corners Behavioral Health, there are private counselors, some people may require inpatient care. Some insurances will pay and some billing is done on a sliding scale and some programs are self-pay. There are Alcoholics Anonymous programs and the LDS social services program on Wednesday and Sunday nights.
The state of Utah has information on their website to help an employer set up a drug testing policy for their business.
The next Lunch and Learn will be on July 17 at the Museum of the San Rafael and Mark Holyoak from Castleview Hospital will be the guest speaker. It begins at noon.

Dark Gates
Dark Gates - 0.2.1 alpha
Bartosz Debski (braqoon)
Game inspired by paper RPG tiled game "Death Maze" or "Labirynt Smierci" released in Poland long time ago. Game will feature random generated maze (while you playing), monsters, treasures, etc. Aim of the game is to find Dark Gates and kill Unnamed in order to destory Dark Gates.
DFour Games are happy to announce a new release of the Dark Gates. In this release there is no new features and main aim was bug fixing and art updates. There is actually a lot to show. Finally all monsters art is complete. All the spells art has been redone along with added animations. Each spell has a unique animation. Animations for damage and miss also has been added.
Art aside there is a good number of fixes to game. Game finally can be completed and Dark Gates are now playing their own part in fight. If Unnamed is fighting, gates will support him by casting Explosion spells. This makes quite a challenge so be prepared for beating. After a final battle with Unnamed, Dark Gates can now be destroyed (optional as you may want still to explore the labyrinth). Only way to do so is to use a hero with 'Dark Gates" skill in his portfolio, so make sure your team has such a person included. For full changelog check below.
Talking about team and heroes. With 0.2.1 release there is a limited offer be a hero in the game. For a special support amount you can become a hero in Dark Gates. If you decide to support, a Hero with your name and avatar made from your picture will be playable. check out http://darkgates.dfourgames.com/ for more details and how be involved.
There will be videos and tutorials posted to show what's in 0.2.1 and how to play the game. You can play the 0.2.1 on Desura.

Confused about couscous? It's both a name for wheat-grain semolina, appearing in many supermarkets today as simply couscous, and for a spicy chicken-vegetable stew served with cooked semolina that's popular throughout North Africa.
To add authenticity to the red pepper sauce you use in this recipe, look in Middle Eastern markets for fiery hot harissa sauce, a red pepper sauce from Tunisia. It's served with traditional couscous and would be perfect with the flavors in this recipe.

: Terry, my sister just bought a house that is approx. 50 years old and had a fairly new washer in the basement. She says the washer makes a thumping noise and the hoses shake violently when filling. She also reports the washer filling very slowly. I thought that she might have low water pressure, but a plumber apparently checked that and said it was OK. Is there a check valve in a washer that might be failing that could cause this? Just trying to save a visit from the washer repair person.

Following head coach John Fox's emergency medical procedure that will keep him away from the Broncos' sidelines for the next month or two, Colorado Community Media stopped by the Sports Authority and Target in Highlands Ranch's Town Center and asked local residents what sort of impact they thought Fox's absence would have on the team.
"It won't (have any impact). Peyton is the quarterback, he's the coach." — Brandon Nelon, Littleton
"I don't think it will affect them. I think Jack Del Rio is quite capable. He has proven himself as a head coach." — Katie Allison, Highlands Ranch
"I don't think we will miss him too much. Del Rio is a good interim coach, and we have Peyton." — Chris Mueller, Highlands Ranch
"I don't think it will affect them; we've got Peyton. He could be the coach, the quarterback, he can do whatever." — Angelina Heuchert, Centennial

Don't Be Rotten to the CoreWednesday, October 2nd, 2013
I thought I'd take this opportunity, while the federal government is shut down over the question of its own power to legislate, to talk about another somewhat controversial initiative, namely the Common Core State Standards.
It should be noted that this is not a simple left-right issue. At a recent conference, I heard Kim Marshall joke that he never thought he'd see national standards because "the right doesn't like national, and the left doesn't like standards." So, as you might expect, the Common Core seems to be embraced by moderates in both parties, while being attacked by extremists on both sides. Teachers and parents, who are the most directly affected by the changes, express the same range of opinions as policymakers and pundits. So, the discussion continues.
To get a sense of the issues involved, as well as the general tone, check out this New York Times editorial by Bill Keller, and this response by Susan Ohanian.
For the record, I agree with the Bill Keller editorial (you can just change that "K" into an "H" and we're good). I'm a fan of the Common Core, though I have a number of concerns about the way it's being implemented. But I respect the opinions of many who oppose it, and understand the quite valid reasons why they do. Unfortunately, most of the rhetoric that I encounter against the initiative is either focused on areas that have very little to do with the standards themselves, or are based in a fog of misinformation.
Now, if you've read the standards, and you honestly believe that we should not want our students to be able to cite evidence from informational texts to support an argument, I'm very willing to have that conversation. If you think the Common Core shifts aren't the right direction for our students, I'm very willing to have that conversation. If you have a problem with emphasizing literacy in the content areas, I'm very willing to have that conversation. That's just not the conversation I've been hearing about the Common Core, and if we're going to discuss these very large-scale changes in the way they deserve to be discussed, we need to clear the air of distractions and distortions.
With that in mind, I present the Top Ten Most Common Objections to the Common Core, and my responses to them. This is meant to be the beginning of a conversation and not the last word, so please feel free to continue the discussion in the comments section below.
1. The Common Core is too rigorous. The standards are not developmentally appropriate.
I think we're feeling that now because we're transitioning into these standards from a less rigorous system. If students come in on grade level, what they're being asked to learn in each year is very reasonable. The problem is that we're so far from that "if," that the standards can often seem very unreasonable. Add to that a rushed implementation, complete with career-destroying and school-closing accountability, and the Common Core expectations can leave a very bad taste in our mouths.
What's more, the Common Core includes qualitative shifts as well as quantitative shifts, so students will be as unfamiliar with the new ways of learning as their teachers are. The good news is that each year we implement the Common Core, students will become more used to Common Core ideas such as text-based answers and standards of mathematical practice, and will be better prepared for the work of their grade each year. It will likely get worse before it gets better, but I do think there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and it will at least become visible in the next year or two.
2. The Common Core is not rigorous enough. My state had better standards before.
Well, the standards are meant to represent only the minimum of where students need to be in their grade level in order to be on track for college and career readiness by the end of Grade 12. So if you can meet these standards and then exceed them, more power to you. States that adopt the Common Core are also free to change up to 15%, and to add additional standards as well.
So here in New York State, we added Pre-K standards that aren't in the national version, we put in additional standards throughout the documents (including Responding to Literature standards in ELA and teaching money in early-grade math classrooms), and we still retain the state-wide content standards in social studies and science that students need to pass their Regents. And even where states are slacking, a high-performing school won't suddenly lower their standards just because they can. That's not how they became high-performing schools in the first place.
3. The Common Core is a mandated top-down program that infringes on state control of schools.
The Common Core is not mandated by the federal government. States can choose to adopt the Common Core or opt out. I hesitate to present the most blindingly obvious of proofs, but here we go: not all of the states adopted the standards. Some states chose to opt out. That should suffice as proof enough that states can choose to opt out if they want to.
Did the federal government sweeten the deal by adding Race to the Top incentives for states that adopted the Common Core? Yes. But that's bribery, not coersion. You can say no to a bribe, even if you need the money. And this wasn't even that much of a bribe, as everyone knew there were only going to be a limited number of states that won Race to the Top funding and Common Core adoption was far from a guarantee.
Whether you love or hate the Common Core, it was your state legislature that adopted the standards, and the credit or blame should be placed there. States are just as capable of having cynical self-serving politicians as the federal government is, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. But some states may have genuinely adopted the Common Core to improve education for their students, even if you don't think it will.
Frankly, I'm no more a fan of Race to the Top than I was of No Child Left Behind. I don't think states should have to compete for education funding. And there were other incentives in the Race to the Top formula I had issues with, like the charter school expansions. But these are criticisms of federal education policy, and not the Common Core standards themselves.
4. The Common Core is a result of the corporate reform movement that's undermining public education.
I don't think the standards do undermine public education, though, and I believe the people who actually put them together are earnest in their attempts to improve it. I'm not blind to some of the strange bedfellows involved with the process, but if an idea leads to good things, I don't care where it comes from. This is an argument that just doesn't work on its own. Just because Bill Gates funded it, it isn't necessarily Windows 7. Zing!
5. The Common Core is only about testing and accountability.
I hate to break it to you, but the testing and accountability movement has been around a lot longer than the Common Core. We're already teaching to the test, so it makes sense to design a better test, one worth teaching to. You can read about early attempts to align New York's state-wide exams to the Common Core in this article, and I'm quoted towards the end, but the bottom line is that they didn't go very well.
Two multi-state consortiums are now hard at work to build a better test, though this turns out to be a tougher job than they originally thought. They are talking about having students take the state-wide (actually, consortium-wide) tests on computers, which means that every school needs to have computers. That could be a logistical nightmare in itself, but it could also mean more funding for computers in schools.
In New York City, teachers are being evaluated through a system that uses test scores, in one form or another, as 40% of a teacher's score, while the other 60% will be based on the Danielson Framework. In my opinion, that's a vast improvement over using test scores alone, which even the Gates-funded MET study doesn't endorse.
6. The Common Core is a conspiracy to keep the poor uneducated.
No, that's what we have now. There is a strong correlation between socioeconomic status and academic achievement. Having a set of common standards is one step in the process of attempting to close that gap.
7. The Common Core replaces literature with government manuals.
That simply isn't true. There is an entire section of the standards that covers Reading Literature. There may be a government manual listed somewhere in the examples of informational texts, but it's disingenuous to hold that up as the centerpiece of Common Core expectations for student reading. Anyone who makes this argument is either unfamiliar with the standards, or uninterested in engaging in a serious discussion about them.
8. People are making money from the Common Core!
This is true, in as much as we need people to write tests, publish classroom materials, and train teachers. But we would have needed this anyway, Common Core or no.
Liberals tend to think that everyone should do their jobs with the purest of motives, and if someone's profiting from something, it must be an evil conspiracy. Conservatives tend to believe the opposite: that if you made money from an idea, then that proves the idea had market value, and those who improve the system deserve to profit from their innovations. I take a more neutral view of profit's correlation with good in the world. I work in teacher training, and the Common Core affects what I teach, but not how often I teach or how much money I make. I have no financial interest in defending the Common Core.
Keller's editorial estimates the costs of the new tests at about $29 per student, in a system that spends over $9,000 per student in a year. You might not like the Common Core for other reasons, but cost alone can't be the only reason to oppose it.
9. These Common Core-aligned materials I have are bad.
I don't doubt it. But just because a product claims to be "Common Core-aligned," it doesn't mean that it is Common Core-endorsed. I have no end of problems with the range of "Common Core-aligned" curricula being rolled out by New York City alone. This is not a function of poor standards, but rather poor implementation.
By the way, a lot of the Common Core-aligned materials were delayed getting into schools this year, even as teachers were required to start using them. You don't have to convince me that we're having implementation problems.
And I spent last summer modifying my own organization's social studies curricula to be Common Core-aligned, and I feel strongly that our products improved immensely because of it.
10. The Common Core is untested, and shouldn't be implemented on such a large scale without a pilot program.
This is from Reign of Error author Diane Ravitch, and she makes a fair point. But nothing's written in stone. The standards will work in some ways and need mending in others. And where they need mending, we'll mend them. Ten years from now, we may come to see the current version of the Common Core as a really good first draft. Or we may remember it as New Coke. There's no way to know until we try it out. That can be used as an argument for it as well as against it.
I do think that we should do everything we can do to make it work. That's the only way we'll really know if it doesn't.
Honorable Mention: President Obama is for it, and therefore I must be against it.
Hey, look! Someone over there is getting health care.
I really do see a lot of parallel between the Affordable Care Act debacle and the Common Core controversy. Tea party Republicans want to talk about how Obamacare will destroy the economy and force the government between you and your doctor and lead to the apocalypse, but they really oppose it on ideological principles. If they would talk about their principles, we could have an honest debate, but they know these principles sound cold and selfish, so they obfuscate. Common Core opponents dance around the actual changes being made in education because most of them make sense. The real concern, as I see it, is the danger of the larger corporate-funded movement to use testing and data to prove the ineffectiveness of public education in order to move to a privatized free-market system.
That's a concern worth discussing directly, and I'm very willing to have that conversation.

If your title accurately described your job, what would your business card say?
Posted Oct 09, 2013 04:14 pm CDT
While we've previously asked you to show us creative lawyer business cards that you've encountered (see our gallery), the job title on them is still usually something along the lines of attorney at law.
So this week, we'd like to ask you: If your title accurately described your job, what would the title on your business card say? Disaster Cleanup Specialist? Duchess of Despair? Please include your actual job title and job description along with your submission.
Answer in the comments.
Read the answers to last week's question: Do you own your home? If yes, why? If no, do you aspire to own or think it's not worth it?
Featured answer:
Posted by Helen C. "When buying, if you buy, don't buy at the top of the pricing levels you can afford. Instead, go moderate and get a 10-to-15-year mortgage. You save tens of thousands of dollars on interest and own your home outright in an instant. (It feels like an instant, looking back from 50-plus years.) Best advice money can buy, for free! You're welcome. (She bows, accepts flowers, bows again gracefully.)"
This week's question was suggested by Ken Bresler. Do you have an idea for a future question of the week? If so, contact us.

(John) Thomas Baines (27 November 1820 – 8 May 1875) was an English artist and explorer of British colonial southern Africa and Australia. Born in King's Lynn, Norfolk, Baines was apprenticed to a coach painter at an early age. When he was 22 he left England for South Africa aboard the "Olivia" (captained by a family friend William Roome) and worked for a while in Cape Town as a scenic and portrait artist, and as official war artist during the so-called Eighth Frontier War for the British Army.
In 1855 Baines joined Augustus Gregory's 1855–1857 Royal Geographical Society sponsored expedition across northern Australia as official artist and storekeeper. The expedition's purpose was to explore the Victoria River district in the north-west and to evaluate the entire northern area of Australia in terms of its suitability for colonial settlement. His association with the North Australian Expedition was the highpoint of his career, and he was warmly commended for his contribution to it, to the extent that Mount Baines and the Baines River were named in his honour.
In 1858 Baines accompanied David Livingstone along the Zambezi, and was one of the first white men to view Victoria Falls. In 1869 Baines led one of the first gold prospecting expeditions to Mashonaland in what later became Rhodesia.
From 1861 to 1862 Baines and James Chapman undertook an expedition to South West Africa. Chapman's Travels in the Interior of South Africa (1868) and Baines' Explorations in South-West Africa (1864), provide a rare account of different perspectives on the same trip. This was the first expedition during which extensive use was made of both photography and painting, and in addition both men kept journals in which, amongst other things, they commented on their own and each other's practice.
In 1870 Baines was granted a concession to explore for gold between the Gweru and Hunyani rivers by Lobengula, leader of the Matabele nation. Thomas Baines died in Durban in 1875.
Baines is today best known for his detailed paintings and sketches which give a unique insight into colonial life in southern Africa and Australia. Many of his pictures are held by the National Library of Australia, National Archives of Zimbabwe, National Maritime Museum, Brenthurst Library and the Royal Geographical Society.

4-time BASS Master Classic champion Rick Clunn has teamed up with Luck-E-Strike to help develop the Luck E Strike Tickster Spinnerbait. Rick is a firm believer that a spinnerbait's blades need to displace water that is equivalent to the bulk of the spinnerbait, Rick's Long Drop Blades achieve this proper water displacement. Besides the blades, the Trickster Spinnerbait features a realistic minnow head, and is backed with a super sharp Gamakatsu hook as well as a trailer hook. Available in several color combinations to best match the conditions that you may face, the Luck-E-Strike Trickster Spinnerbait offers innovative performance.
Check out video of Rick Clunn's Trickster Spinnerbait Seminar.

Comments: I absolutely love these spinner-baits for not being really to much of a spinning guy. The like others have said push mad water and flash amazing. The only problem is the arm isn't that durable i found, not complaining because they are cheap and amazing though. I Will continue to still buy these!!
From: Andrew: OH 1/29/15
Comments: these guys have a lot of torque when reeling them in. But oh man they cause such noise and water displacement that the bass just slam them. These are my to go spinner baits. Nice and cheap but sturdy and we'll designed. Get some you won't be disappointed. And man can't beat the price cause they come with a trailer hook too! Great buy.
From: Anthony: Lompoc, CA 10/20/14
Comments: I picked up a few of these because Rick Clunn designed them. Well they did not disappoint! Took them bass fishing and caught 5 Largemouth and almost hooked into a Muskie! I was using them on my Skeet Reese 7" Spinnerbait rod and also on my Gloomis Bronzeback Spinnerbait rod. They ran true and have no issues with them other then an easy fix because they forgot to add the stopper for the trailer hook.
From: Noel: Adrian, MI
Comments: I bought several of these and am having a great time catching bass up to 7 1/4 lbs. I did remove the stinger hook and added a trailer and a treble hook for a better hookup precentage
From: Steve: Lake Isabella, ca
Comments: Picked up a few of these about a month ago. the torque on these baits is ridiculous. I throw it on a 7' H Veritas paired with a Curado and still had a hard time working the bait effectively. I haven't had too much luck on it because it is like going to work when i throw it.
From: Tony: Chicago, IL

: Turn off the water, remove the handle, remove the chrome cover tube, remove the "U" shaped retainer clip, try to remove the cartridge without damaging the faucet. Call a plumber to remove the cartridge. Insert the new cartridge and put everything back together.
: : My 12-year-old single handle Moen shower faucet leaks. Could someone give me the steps needed to repair? Thanks.
In hard water areas, the cartridge can be hard to remove. If you water is on the softer side, removal will be easier. Like hj mentions, in some cases, it could be difficult and plumbers do carry tools for removal. Terry

Love this boot
"This boot is very easy to put on. The inside is lined and soft enough not to need socks. It doesn't come in half sizes so I got a size 7 since I figured an 8 would be too large. The Sorel design has an upward turned toe and is a little stiff but not really bothersome. I couldn't wear these boots all day but certainly for a few hours. Excellent quality."

You can use your favorite cheese instead of the Havarti. Jarlsberg or Cheddar would be nice choices.

Driver charged in fatal crash
A 40-year-old Buena Park man has been charged with killing three women when he crashed into them at a high rate of speed as they walked home from a baby shower, the Orange County District Attorney's Office said Wednesday.
Anthony Lewis Sanchez was charged with three felony counts of vehicular manslaughter causing death with gross negligence while intoxicated, one felony count of driving under the influence causing bodily injury, one felony count of driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08 percent or more causing bodily injury, plus sentencing enhancements and allegations, according to a District Attorney's Office news release.
Sanchez, who is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail, faces a maximum sentence of 12 years and eight months in state prison if convicted, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said Sanchez was driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.17 percent and "barely" slowed late Saturday night before crashing into Carmen Mendoza, 56, her daughter Sheyla Mendoza, 21, and her niece Stephanie Henriquez, 21.
The three women were walking home after a baby shower and died with the impact of the crash, prosecutors added.
Tuesday night, more than 100 family members and friends gathered at the site of the crash in the 100 block of South Western Avenue to mourn and pray for the women described as a "sweet" family.
Sergio Abrego of Fullerton was at the memorial for his cousins and aunt and said the fatal crash left him stunned. "Stephanie was like a sister to me," Abrego said. "I'm still trying to figure this all out."
Perla Lemus, who worked with Sheyla Mendoza at China Bowl restaurant in Buena Park, said Sheyla had recently become engaged to her boyfriend of five years.
"Sheyla never brought her problems to work," said Lemus, who trained Mendoza. "She was always upbeat and was so good at her job that she was in line to become a manager."
Lemus was one of seven co-workers who went to the memorial site.
On Monday, the baby shower decorations still hung at Evelyn Morales' apartment as she talked about the last time she saw her boyfriend's mother, the eldest of the three women struck and killed.
"They were good people, very sweet," Morales said.
Register photographer Cindy Yamanaka contributed to this report.

When it comes to innovation in football, there are usually two factors that contribute to a new idea. Sometimes, it's strategy. Sometimes, it's necessity.
For the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick, both strategy and necessity were at play in some interesting decisions in the team's 42-35 win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday.
In the case of cornerbacks Logan Ryan and Kyle Arrington playing safety, Belichick viewed both men as more of a fourth defensive back than a true safety.
"Well, most of the time when Logan and Kyle were in there at safety I mean first of all, the Eagles were in multiple receiver sets the majority of the game," he said in a conference call on Saturday. "There were some plays where they were in two tight ends and two wide receivers, but even in those situations a lot of the times the tight end was a very good receiver, more of a pass-receiving tight end. A lot of their two tight end formations really played like three receivers and one tight end. Even their three receiver sets kind of played like four receivers because they still had a good tight end in there. That inside position that Logan and Kyle played, I would say relates more to the nickel position that they play in sub defense than it does to the safety position in a regular defense against a two receiver set.
"I'm not saying that there isn't some application of both but because it's a multiple receiver team that nickel position, the slot guy, could either be on that receiver or he could be playing some type of zone coverage more like a safety. It's against that type of personnel group that we've done it; a lot of other teams in the league do it too. So it's not really nickel but it's not really your regular defense, it's a little bit of a hybrid there to try to match up against the multiple receivers that that offense has on the field. I think they've both done a good job with it. Logan's played some safety for us in the past, so has Kyle. They've both played that position that fourth defensive back. It's not really anything that's that new to them. It definitely has a lot of carryover for them from when we are in our nickel defense and they play in the slot."
Ryan and Arrington are new additions to a battle at strong safety that already included Duron Harmon, Patrick Chung, and Tavon Wilson. Now, with Belichick's new insight, it may be more accurate to say that they will change their safety designation week to week, sometimes even play to play, depending on what the offense is doing.
This, in turn, puts free safety Devin McCourty in the position as the lone deep defender, covering sideline to sideline. He has the range to make it work, which allows Belichick and the Patriots the flexibility to try new things at the other safety spot.
With more teams going to spread sets, and employing athletic pass-catching tight ends, it's becoming more important for a safety to be strong in man coverage than it is for him to be an "enforcer" who can lay big hits on receivers coming over the middle.
Speaking of tight ends, no one would confuse any of the several offensive linemen who lined up at tight end for the Patriots on Friday as an "athletic pass-catcher," but Belichick had those players play out of position out of necessity, with former offensive tackle-turned-tight end Steve Maneri the lone healthy player at the position.
"When we decide to do that, which with last night we only had one tight end really active for the game, so we were on a little bit on thin ice there," Belichick said. "So yeah, it's a good question because none of those players are really here to play tight end. They're here to play center, guard or tackle, whatever the offensive line position or a combination is. So which guy we move to tight end, that's kind of a function of who's available, who would cause the least disruption in the offensive line, combined with which player has the best skills to play on the end of the line. I'd say it comes down to a combination of those two things.
"Ideally your sixth lineman would be not one of your starters who could come in and go out. But if it's not him and it's some kind of juggling where you put one of your starters out there, then you bring somebody in then that causes a little juggling on the line and a player has to go out to come back in at his position for a play and so forth. But we've done it both ways. It's just trying to find the best combination of those."
Michael Hoomanawanui and D.J. Williams are both battling back from injuries they have sustained during training camp, and Rob Gronkowski continues his rehab work after tearing the ACL in his right knee last December.
Josh Kline and Nate Solder were the two offensive linemen getting reps at tight end on Friday, and while each had some nice blocks in the running game, neither one was targeted as a receiver.
So, while the Patriots strategy seems to be a secondary that features a host of moving parts, the team is in dire straits at tight end, and can't get healthy soon enough.

Cute and Comfortable!
"These were the first shoes I bought online from DSW. I'm usually either a 7.5 or 8, and I bought these in an 8 and they fit perfectly. They are comfortable in that they are semi-cushy so the fact that they have a heel isn't too much of an issue- I wear them walking around the mall all day and my feet didn't hurt. Overall a very valuable buy!"

Standard Boots
"Nothing flashy here. Just some cute brown boots that will go with most everything, which is exactly what I needed. These run true to size, and are really comfortable. It's neat that you can lace them up, or wear them folded down. I mainly liked them because they aren't bulky like my other pair of knee high boots."

Great casual boot
"I ordered these because I had to get rid of my old pair of short brown boots, and I have been very please with them so far. I wore them to work (I work in retail, so lots of running around) and they were very comfortable all day long! They are cute and dainty, and look good with pants and skirts - I would definitely recommend them, however if you are looking for a 'dressier' boot this may not be for you, because it is of a canvas-material, not leather."

"Very comfortable. I commute to work and am on my feet a few hours a day and never have any foot pain after walking in these. Only complaint is that I wish they looked better over my jeans--the jeans tend to bunch up around the top of the shoes."

Foreign Assistance Reform
As an alliance of U.S.-based nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that work on the ground in every developing country, InterAction has long advocated for greater coherence, coordination, elevation and effectiveness of U.S. international humanitarian and development programs. InterAction applauds the U.S. government's aid reform initiatives, which include President Obama's Policy Study Directive on Global Development (PPD); Secretary Clinton's Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR); the U.S. Agency for International Development's reform agenda USAID FORWARD, and congressional efforts to rewrite the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
We also commend the U.S. House of Representatives for unanimously approving the Foreign Aid Transparency and Accountability Act (FATA) sponsored by Rep. Ted Poe in December 2012. This legislation (H.R. 2638/S. 1271) has been re-introduced this year by Reps. Poe and Gerry Connolly (D-VA) and Sens. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Benjamin Cardin (D-MD). We support efforts such as the FATA bill to increase transparency and look forward to seeing such legislation enacted.
In March 2013, USAID released a progress report on USAID Forward. For an InterAction analysis, click here.
While considerable steps have been made toward reshaping the U.S. approach to foreign assistance, how these initiatives are implemented will determine their ultimate success. InterAction looks forward to continuing to work with Congress and the administration to ensure that reform efforts result in coherent, well-coordinated development assistance that prioritizes poverty reduction. Our foreign assistance reform advocacy is guided by our board-approved Principles for Effective Assistance:
- Poverty reduction must be a primary objective of U.S. foreign assistance because it promotes stability.
- Achieving the long-term objectives of global prosperity and freedom depends upon sustainable development as a long-term process, which should not be sidetracked for any short-term political agenda.
- Cohesion and coherence, in place of current fragmentation, are necessary to achieve the effective use of foreign assistance resources.
- Building local capacity promotes country ownership and leads to self-sufficiency.
- Harmonize priorities among U.S. government agencies, multilateral institutions and recipient governments to assure the best use of resources.
- Humanitarian assistance programs should continue to be a core part of foreign aid and be guided by the principle of impartiality to conform with international humanitarian law.
- U.S. foreign assistance programs should be under civilian control and run by development professionals in order to be appropriate for the public abroad.
For further information on InterAction's foreign assistance reform efforts, please contact Mark Lotwis.

Leafs Nation Podcast: This is how sad James Wisniewski is
Leafs Nation Podcast
July 25 2012 06:25PM
In this week's podcast, Cam Charron, Danny Gray, and I chat about the recent Shea Weber situation, the Rick Nash deal, and get into the likelihood of the NHLPA being back to work this October.
After a while, things degenerate into ripping the Blue Jackets, and comparing them to terrible Futurama situations. You should check it out.
I do find it sad that leaf fans need to resort to poking fun at the dismal shape the blue jackets are in to somehow make themselves feel better for the complete mess that Burke has left the leafs in.
Than again, I suppose other fan bases poke fun at the leafs and Burke's four year of misery so turn about is fair.

Ellen asks Miley: 'So, will you get married soon?'
Miley Cyrus has an ideal wedding in mind. And it's not about the details so much, she says on today's Ellen DeGeneresShow.
First, Ellen asks Miley if she's getting married soon.
"I don't know. I'm like so focused on my record … I kind of don't want to be in between touring and trying to plan all that. Because I didn't really realize until I got a wedding planning book what you have to decide on."
She continued, "Like, I don't care what color the napkins are, to be honest. I really don't care. So it's a lot of weird detail. I don't want to be doing too much and be crazy and forget about the moment of it all."
As for what she's most looking forward to, Miley told Ellen, "Actually, I was looking at photos from your wedding and I was looking at the look. And that's what I'm most excited for. Is that look when you know, who you are marrying you see the first time. You're seeing the dress. You're seeing everything that you planned for months and months like coming together. And that you did it together."
She added, "And it's only the people that you really want there. It's a day that you don't have to say well; I'm kind of obligated. I don't ever feel like that. This is the one day that it's what I choose and every detail is things that I love and I think that look. I don't want people to ever forget about that. There is some rumor going around that I'm having like 47 weddings. I'm not. I'm having one wedding. That's my day and whatever I want on that day will be about me and that moment. That look of love."
Ellen told her she needs to think of a really good song for that special moment.
"Yeah, for like me as being an artist. That's like what I picture. That moment when he first gets to see me in my dress and everything all together. It has to be perfect. It has to be like a soundtrack in a movie. That's the one day that movie crap is real. That romance. That look is the time that you get that. … I've been to probably 10, 20 weddings and I've seen that real look five, six times. It's rare that people just stop to really look the person in the eye and know that this is your life together. It's important and your wedding was perfect with that look. That's why I always fight for whoever wants to get married can get married. Because that look doesn't come with gender."
Ellen then surprised the actress/singer with two strippers in an impromptu bachelorette party. Miley laughed and played along.
