The Hypertension and Vascular Evaluation (HAVE) Program is a multidisciplinary collaboration between the Division of Nephrology and the Cardiac Center at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The HAVE Program evaluates children of all ages who have hypertension secondary to a significant pediatric condition and works closely with the child's primary healthcare team.
CHOP's position as a national leader in hypertension and vascular disease enables us to provide the very best care.
HAVE is a cutting-edge clinical outpatient consultation and screening program for youth of all ages who have hypertension secondary to a significant pediatric condition. The program is open to patients within CHOP as well as those referred by outside physicians.
Hypertension occurs in 2-8 percent of children and adolescents, and approximately 10 percent of patients have hypertension in the setting of a significant pediatric condition. The HAVE Program will help us meet the needs of these children in a more efficient manner.
Much is still unknown about the etiology, management and long-term outcomes of pediatric hypertension, and the HAVE Program enables patients to have a comprehensive, collaborative assessment that combines expertise from Cardiology and Nephrology.
Creating a cohort of these patients will stimulate a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnostic evaluation and lead to evidence-based management guidelines.
The HAVE team includes:
In conjunction with a clinic visit with Nephrology and Cardiology, testing is tailored to the individual patient and can include the following:
HAVE does not take the place of the child's primary healthcare team. Follow-up with the HAVE Program may be required, but we are an added layer of service, delivering care in close collaboration and communication with the primary team.
There is growing evidence that children with the following conditions are at risk for developing hypertension:
We believe this list will grow as we gain understanding of pediatric hypertension.
For more information about the HAVE Program or to make a referral, call Program Coordinator Michele Crane at 215-590-0378 or contact us online.

Oversized Sinks In The Kitchen & Bathroom
Last week I brought you Farmhouse Sink inspiration and I admitted that what initially attracted me to them was their oversized shape. I dream of the day that my sink won't be filled to the brim after only a few dishes.
It's a shame that the average house doesn't have an ample sized kitchen sink and luckily, there are so many different kinds that can be installed (with a little countertop modification, of course). Oversized sinks can be made out of poured cement, porcelain, marble or well, just about anything. The rustic look of an oversized poured cement sink will transport you back to that tropical vacation. It exudes a relaxed, rustic and romantic vibe that'll make you want to spend all of your time in the kitchen.
A more streamlined approach is marble or stainless steel. Those materials used in an oversized format will modernize the kitchen while still maintaining a slightly vintage feel. Of course, oversized vintage porcelain sinks are still alive and well if you aren't lucky enough to have one in your kitchen, they're easily found. White is the most popular, but how can you resist a powder blue oversized country sink?

Love that 4th sink!
I want one like this for my hall bathroom. Here's hoping I can find a good deal on a vintage one.
Nope. As beautiful as a large sink is, it just invites dishes to sit forever!
I wouldn't mind an oversized sink for a kitchen, but what do you need a large sink for in the bathroom? Personally, I'd like more counter space than sink space.
Though, I love the concept of that last one... double sinks in one!
I would love a large sink. One of the things holding me back on getting a bigger cutting board, or anything else, is "will it fit in the sink or dishwasher?" question. We have a cast iron (heavy!!) wok that doesn't quite fit in our small squarish apartment sink, and it is a pain in the ass to wash. I never use it.
Another vote for large sinks! Casserole dishes, bowls, platters, roasting trays - I want them large and have them large. Unfortunately, my sink is not :( Drives me nuts.
I definitely love them for the kitchen. They add such a fun element to how you cook and clean in your home. And I find they are easier to clean when they're bigger too.
Not so much for the bathroom. I'm a minimalist bathroom user. Granted, I like luxurious bathrooms as much as the next person, but I don't need much for sink or counter space in there.
I love them all!!!
And, pinkalbatross, the dirty dishes go from the table straight to the dishwasher!
I'd love a sink large enough to wash a cookie sheet without having to flip it from side to side to rinise it...

Perimenopause (cont.)
Record your menstrual cycle, noting whether you have a heavy, normal, or light period.
Find a physical activity that you'll enjoy doing.
If you smoke, try to quit.
Keep your body mass index (BMI) at a normal level. Figure out your BMI by going to
Talk to your friends who are in perimenopause or menopause. Most likely, they're going through the same things you are!
Do something new - volunteer or take a class.
Use a vaginal lubricant for dryness and pain during sex.
Dress in layers.
Try to figure out if certain triggers cause hot flashes, like spicy foods or being outside in the heat. Avoid these things.
Talk with your doctor if you feel depressed or have any other questions about how to relieve your symptoms.
I'm going through perimenopause right now. My period is very heavy, and I'm bleeding after sex. Is this normal?
Irregular periods are common and normal during perimenopause, but not all changes in bleeding are from perimenopause or menopause. Other things can cause abnormal bleeding. Talk to your doctor if:
Can I get pregnant while in perimenopause?
Yes. If you're still having periods, you can get pregnant. Talk to your doctor about your options for birth control. Keep in mind that methods of birth control, like birth control pills, shots, implants, or diaphragms will not protect you from STDs or HIV. If you use one of these methods, be sure to also use a latex condom or dental dam (used for oral sex) correctly every time you have sexual contact. Be aware that condoms don't provide complete protection against STDs and HIV-the only sure protection is abstinence (not having sex of any kind). But appropriate and consistent use of latex condoms and other barrier methods can help protect you from STDs.
For more in-depth information, please read the Menopause article.

I am really happy with my purchase of these boots. They are different than what I see most people wearing around. I usually pair these with a legging or skinny jean on a winter day and always get comments on them. Excellent buy!
Best boot ever

I bought these for the upcoming winter and they are perfect for playing outside in the snow. Super warm, comfy, and cute!
Dream come true!

Growing up, I always wanted to get a good solid pair of Sorel's and now that I'm all grown up, I decided to treat myself to a pair! Love everything about this boot, comfy, cute and perfect for playing out in the snow this winter. I love the pattern of the Black/Limestone color. I normally wear a size 9 but some brands can fit into 8.5 so I decided to order a size 9 and it was perfect. I still have a little room to fit an extra thick sock for super cold days. So excited to wear these this winter and many more to come!
Great boots!
Member since
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've ordered a few different styles of Sorels, and returned them for fear that they weren't warm enough, but these seem to fit my needs! They don't rub on the heel like the caribous do, and they seem incredibly waterproof. The toe box is a little narrow at first, but fits fine after being broken in. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 but sized down to a 7 because of other reviews and I'm glad I did. There's still enough room for a warm sock. Seems to be a great waterproof boot that will hopefully keep my toes warm when the temps dip below zero!

Just got these in the mail because I was really looking for a good warm, waterproof boot to get me through the Utah winters. They are awesome! So warm, and definitely waterproof. I am a size 8 1/2 and since this pair didn't come in half sizes, I got a 9 because I heard they run small. The 9's are a little big in the heal, but they fit. I probably should have ordered an 8, but I'm keeping them anyway. They aren't as slim looking at the Tivoli (those fit small!) but are a great boot to wear all winter with my snowpants on my way to snowboarding or even with skinny jeans.
So overall, go a 1/2 size down and a very warm boot!

- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Based on reviews I ordered this boot down a size. I'm usually a size 7 but the 6 I ordered was too small. If they had half sizes, a 6.5 may have worked just fine. However, I will not be exchanging for a larger size because I found that there is absolutely no support in this boot. If you were blessed with arches (not saying that flat feet are not a blessing), then I would pass on this boot. It's adorable and appears rugged, but will likely cause discomfort if you want to wear them for any period of time. I also noticed that there wasn't much material between the ground in my foot so I'm not sure that these would have kept my feet warm.
I needed a size 8
Member since
I ordered the size 7 and it was too small for my size 8 foot. I am returning the boots and ordered the size 8. It is a great looking boot and I can't wait to get the right size.
Sweet boot-get a size smaller than normal
Nick Schlegel
Member since
Got these boots for the GF and she loves em...but listen to the reviews when they recommend sizing down. She normally wears an 8 but had to return them for a 7. So unless you like wearing 3 pairs of socks get the smaller pair.

Member since
What is the height and width? If I am a US Women's 9 do you think I should order an 8? Also, how come the height and width are never listed under the product details?
Member since
Hi Courtney! My boot has a 9" shaft with ~14" circumference, but the measurements are probably not listed because they might vary depending on the shoe size (I'm a size 5). It runs a bit large, so you may want to size down a little. Otherwise, Backcountry has a pretty good return policy if you would like to exchange them for another size. :)
Hope this helps!
Member since
Thanks! I ordered down a size. They are being delivered today so we will see!
So cute Runs Big
Member since
I love Sorel and these boots are no exception, SOREL=boots for life. The print is adorable they are comfy and cushy. I usually wear a 10 US sizing or a 41 UK. These Sorel were almost a full size to big for me. More like a Men's 10. Now, off to hunt for a boot in a 9 to exchange for these nuggets!
Great boots!!

Super cute and comfy boots. They don't make my feet uncomfortably hot like a lot of insulated winter boots and my toes are never cold after being outside for more than an hour.

Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is expected to start for the Vikings on Sunday at Arizona, although team officials are believed to be holding out hope that Gus Frerotte will be able to play. According to people with knowledge of the situation, the reality is that Frerotte will miss a week or two because of a fracture in his lower back.
Running back Chester Taylor told WCCO television today that Jackson would be the Vikings' starting quarterback on Sunday, his first start since Sept. 14 when the Vikings lost to Indianapolis to drop to 0-2 on the season. If Frerotte is sidelined for two weeks that means the earliest he would not return to the starting role would be the regular-season finale against the New York Giants at the Metrodome.
The Vikings could be in position to clinch the NFC North on Sunday, if Chicago losses to New Orleans on Thursday night. The Vikings would then need to beat the Cardinals to capture the division.
Join Vikings beat writers Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins on a usually informative and often irreverent journey inside the Vikings.
Just like the NFL, Zulgad and Scoggins go at it all year long -- on and off the field.

Think Tank on Use of Metabolomics in Population-Based Research
September 27, 2012
Neuroscience Building
6001 Executive Boulevard
Rockville, MD 20852
Metabolomics is a "top-down" systems biology approach to metabolic profiling, defined as the quantitative measurement of the dynamic multiparametric metabolic response of living systems to pathophysiological stimuli or genetic modification. The concept of metabolic phenotyping was initially introduced and developed to help explain the biochemical consequences of genetic variation in whole organisms and has emerged as a powerful new approach to augment genomic, proteomic, and transcriptomic methods for the capture of biomarker information on a range of toxicological and disease processes.
Until recently, metabolomics and other post-genomic platforms such as proteomics and transcriptomics have not been suitable for large-scale, high-throughput epidemiologic applications. Studies that employed metabolomics technologies have focused on toxicological, physiological, and disease responses in animal models and small-scale human studies. This has been due mainly to the limited capacity of the analytical platforms for sample throughput and the processing requirements for the enormous amounts of data created. Improved sample preparation (using automated liquid handling workstations), robotic sample-delivery systems, automated data processing, and use of multivariate statistical and chemometric methods, with associated reductions in cost, now are realizing the potential for metabolic phenotyping in epidemiology. Investigators have begun to extend these studies to larger scale population studies for biomarker discovery. With these studies comes the challenge of applying metabolomics technologies in a manner that generates meaningful results. Epidemiologists must strive to comprehensively understand the principles of metabolomics to determine when it is appropriate to use biomarkers identified using this technology, which includes the ability to determine when biomarkers have been validated sufficiently.
This Think Tank will bring together several key players in this emerging research area to share and discuss the state of the field of metabolomics in epidemiology research. The meeting will highlight the research of six metabolic experts who can shed light on how to apply this methodology to large epidemiology studies. The meeting also will be an unprecedented opportunity to hear from attendees who focus on a scientific agenda in the field of metabolomics and are interested in applying this technology to population science studies. Breakout group sessions will allow attendees to answer key questions to establish the current state of the field and help shape strategies to move this technology toward use in population-based research.
The meeting consisted of speaker presentations and interactive group discussions.
Speakers included:
- Oliver Fiehn, Ph.D. - University of California, Davis
- Robert Gerszten, M.D. - Massachusetts General Hospital
- Bruce Kristal, Ph.D. - Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School
- John Milner, Ph.D. - U.S. Department of Agriculture
- Svati Shah, M.D. - Duke University
- Mukesh Verma, Ph.D. - National Cancer Institute
More detailed agenda coming soon, including presentation titles and breakout group topics.
For further information or questions, contact Krista Zanetti, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.D.

Rated 4 out of 5�by Bloodbro84 Great product When the ruts on this stuff works. Def recommend tinks to any hunter September 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by bigfoot Buck stops in his tracks While using Tinks # 69........A giant 6 Point Buck Chasing 3 Does made an abrupt stop at my Tinks # 69 canister, sniffed 4 seconds and continued on his way after the Does. I had already bagged a monster 7 pointer so I passed on this 6 Pointer. September 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bo444444 Timing and youth It's all in the timing. I was fortunate to hit the seek phase this year. I put some Tinks 69 s out and had 2 spikes running all over looking for that hot doe. No question it was the Tinks. The deer were all over my trail in. March 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Showtime Tried and True Tink's 69, is a tried and true performer in my book! I have tried some of the other products that have come out in the last several years, and I have to say none perform for me like Tink's. A couple, without mentioning names, have been lackluster at best, if not almost non effectual. I spend a lot of time bowhunting several different properties, and here in MO the rut usually hits as firearms season begins. Tink's is my favorite attractant, give it a try! November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Fos Deer Lure the product speaks for itself. I got the Deer! I've been using this item for many years and it never disappoints me. November 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by jimmyjam TINK'S WORKS ! Very versitle . I have used Tink's 69 since day one. Works well in a scent bomb or a drag rag. I have even dribbled it on my boots to cover my own scent. November 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by john Tink's 69 This product works great, When I enter the wood I squirt it from the main trail to my tree stand and add a little extra by the stand, I have seen big Bucks turn around and follow the sent right to me. Works great during the rut. November 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bill6 Best scent product of them all Tried and true for decades this is one of the most reliable and well know scent products on the market. I have used this product for over 20 yrs myself and have several trophy bucks to prove how effective this product is.Reliable easy to use and inexpensive. November 20, 2013

divcount mismatch
Acrophonic numeral signs use the first letter of certain numbers and currency values to stand for the whole: pi stands for πέντε, delta for δέκα, heta for ἑκατόν, and so on. Individual signs may be combined within a single character to represent compund values: the value 50, for example, in the acrophonic system is represented by a delta (δέκα: 10) written within a pi (πέντε: 5), to indicate 5 x 10.
The Greek acrophonic numerals are now in Unicode, and EpiDoc recommend that these characters now be used and simply tagged as any other numeral or currency measure.

Job figures for the month of march will be released at the end of this week. The consensus is that job growth will continue at its slow, creeping pace – likely under 200,000 for the month just ended. For the time being, the United States remains a somewhat remarkable positive economic story in a world that is filled with continuous streams of troubling news from the European Union through Japan.
Visually, the continued improvement looks as follows:
Of course, there's still a very long road to go until a full recovery.

An ad by Dick Smith timed for Australia Day (January 26) has been banned by TV networks, reports marketing industry site Mumbrella.
The ad pushes OzEmite and other spreads and sauces in his Dick Smith Foods range (for which profits go to charity; his main occupation since he sold the chain store that bears his name).
That's all well and good. But apparently the networks found the sexual innuendo around his first name, and images of boat people struggling ashore from a burning shipwreck, all a bit much.
The jingoistic Aussie entrepreneur apparently spent $A100,000 on an ad buy for the spot. That's said to be money down the drain. Though maybe not so much if the YouTube version of the ad goes viral. Watch it above. (Warning: extreme Australianess may offend.)

"When I was a law student in San Francisco, my brother's father-in-law Ming Chong (I call him 'Uncle Ming') lived a block from my student abode," shares Rachelle Chong from her home in San Francisco, California. "Ming and his wife Jessie invited me up to dinner often, feeling sorry for the busy law student. One of my favorite dishes Ming made me was his Chinese Five Spice Chicken. He would cut the roasted chicken up very small with a huge Chinese cleaver to be eaten with chopsticks over white steamed rice. It was so good I asked Uncle Ming to teach me how to make it.
"I think he used whiskey instead of rice wine in his version, but I changed it up since I always have rice wine in the house and rarely whiskey. The honey gives it a sweetness that is very nice and it is okay if the skin turns sort of dark brown, almost burned, as the chicken roasts because it makes it crisp.
"My husband Kirk and I are both from the Central Valley of California and from families who loved to eat. Kirk, who is the prime cook in the family, comes from an Italian-Irish set of families. He talks often of Great-Grandma Rosa and Grandma Annie Del Prete, who were fantastic cooks. He has an Italian meat sauce recipe from them that he makes often. It is a recipe he doesn't give out easily!
"Mine is a fourth-generation Chinese-American family. My mother Barbara Ah Tye Chong had 14 brothers and sisters," says Rachelle. "Gatherings in family always involve a big Chinese meal. My mom was a very good Chinese cook. She used to make elaborate Chinese hot pot meals, eight-course banquets and very good French meals.
"She taught me many Cantonese-style dishes during high school and college. She made a soy sauce-and-garlic chicken that was sort of a pared-down version of
"We lost Mom to breast cancer in 1989. One of my most treasured possessions is her church cookbook with her handwritten notes in it and many of her own recipes, including her Lobster Cantonese.
"I am now a mother of twin girls, age 11. Kirk and I began cooking with the girls when they were only four, because we both enjoy cooking and wanted them to learn to cook early. We have a home-cooked family dinner every night."
Family field trips to the fantastic farmer's markets in San Francisco are a big part of their loving to cook together. "The Alemany and Ferry Building farmer's markets are our favorites in the city," says Rachelle. "The girls enjoy exploring the fun food stands, and Kirk and I scour the place for the best vegetables and fruits."
This wonderful dish from Rachelle is simply bursting with flavor.
Clean the chicken and remove the giblets and any excess fat. Place in a zip-top bag. Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add the marinade to the bag, seal, and carefully rotate the bag to coat the chicken. Marinate at least 3 hours in the fridge, removing the chicken from the fridge 1 hour before roasting to come to room temperature. Line a roasting pan with foil. Place the chicken on a rack, breast down over the tin foil. Put any excess marinade at the bottom of the pan and add 1/2 Cup water. Roast at 350° for 1 hour and 20 minutes, basting every 30 minutes or so. A large chicken may need a bit longer--use a meat thermometer if desired. Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes after you remove it from the oven. Carve it and serve over steamed white rice with a stir-fried vegetable.

Rachelle shares, "Here is my mom's recipe for Lobster Cantonese. You may also make this recipe with Dungeness crab. I have made this and it's easy and very delicious."
Heat the oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and pork and stir-fry until the pork loses its pink color. Stir in the soy sauce, chicken broth, honey, PEPPER and GINGER (if using); bring to a boil. Add the raw lobster pieces, cover, reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes. Mix the cornstarch and cold water into a smooth paste. Add to the lobster and stir until the gravy is thickened. Stir in the chopped green onions. Pour the beaten egg over the lobster and stir until the egg is just set. Do not overcook! Remove and arrange on a platter. Serve with rice and veggies.

Could Coca Tea Enhance Athletic Performance??
In my spanish class, my professor mentioned that indigenous population is Latin America use Coca Tea when going from sea level to the top of Machu Picchu (7972 ft) because it reduces altitude sickness.
As an personal trainer, i saw this as a potential opportunity to increase athletic performance or to remove Denver's altitude advantage (5690 ft).
Coca tea is the plant used to make cocaine. Coca tea is illegal in the United States unless it has been decocainize.
My question is, are the physiological benefits of Coca tea a result of the cocaine or are they the results of some other or combination of phytonutrients? If the physiological benefits are a result of phytonutrients then it could be used in sports drinks to increase oxygen uptake and delivery.

What motivates you?
Motivation takes the form of many things: quest for wealth, fame, etc. So my question to you is what is/are your personal motivator(s)?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mirek Mráz 100+Oct 5 2012: Overall, although it may seem to be an easy and simple question, the answer is rather intricate as it entails many nuances and it varies person to person. I was tempted to just say - the vision of success and the immediate satisfaction after completing our goal is the ultimate motivator. But, isn't it the curiosity and hunger for learning new things, competitivness, that serves as a much needed pre-requisite to keep us going?
The goal itself doesn't motivate you in long-run. Aristotle claimed that every activity aims at some end, but only when you enjoy the activity itself will you find true happiness on your path to achieving your goal. I think that a lot of people get miserable aiming at something and not enjoying the path there - like doing something for the sake of the aim only. For example - choosing a career of a banker or lawyer just because they are said to be intelligent and well-paid while going through a lot of pain because you basically ignore the fact that you should be a TED translator, do fulfilling things that make sense to you and be happy instead :)
Oct 13 2012: I like what you said about the path. you learn so much on the path of doing something, and it can inspire you to make another goal to get to the end, but is there really an end. if your mind is set to seek and explore and the path is the path? your inter spirit I do think is what makes you do the things you set out to do. the desire to learn and to be more and to have more and to share that with others. in my life I have goals that I did not get to but I was never sad that I did not get to them I just made other goals for the path that I turned on to by the situations and the decisions of my life. but I had fun on that path most times. sure we all have the good times and the bad times, but it's the times that make it what it is.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Pope's visit to U.S. is Page 1 news for some German dailies, not others
Pope Benedict XVI has completed his visit to the U.S. That's Page One news for some American dailies but not for others, for The New York Times but not for The Washington Post (except for a tease). But this is the first German pope in several hundred years — historians are not in agreement about the nationality of at least two of his predecessors — so we wondered how the German-language press in Europe is playing the story.
Starting with the Sueddeutsche Zeitung in Munich — and Munich is the capital of the pope's home state of Bavaria — there is a big Page One photo of the pope praying at Ground Zero in New York, a caption and a reference to inside coverage. Not far away, in Augsburg, the Augsburger Allgemeine has a brief item noting that "The Pope ends his USA trip," similar to the Page One treatment in the Neue Westfaelische in Bielefeld, the Braunschweiger Zeitung in Braunschweig — which also has an editorial about the trip — and the Saechsische Zeitung in Dresden. However, the Weser Kurier and the Bremer Nachrichten, both in Bremen, each carries a large Page One photo and story about the pope praying at Ground Zero in New York. The Suedwest Presse in Ulm — home of the tallest cathedral in the world, albeit a Lutheran one — has a photo of the pope at Ground Zero. In Berlin, Die Welt has a big top-of-the-page photo, while Der Tagesspiegel and Die Tageszeitung have nothing about the pope on Page One. The European edition of Stars and Stripes, the daily for U.S. service personnel, fills most of Page One with a photo and the headline "Pope blesses ground zero," with story inside on page eight; we thought we would slip this one in because it's published in Griesheim.
The Austrian press handles the story in much the same way. Cut into its nameplate, the Kurier in Vienna has a picture of the pope with hand outstretched and the headline, "Pope waves goodbye," with story on page six. The Salzburger Nachrichten in Salzburg has a brief Page One story with details on page seven, while Die Presse in Vienna has nothing on Page One about the pope.
Yesterday was a big sports day in Europe, which to some editors is what Monday's Page One is all about.

Nose: extremely fresh at first nosing, on sea air and light toffee. No punch-in-you-face smells this time, but lots of smoothness and, dare I say, delicacy. The peat smoke is well here but it's somewhat distant, while these coastal and 'caramelly' notes develop together. Then it gets also quite fruity, with some plum jam, quince jelly and very ripe apricots. Hints of apple skins, cider and even some white wine. Less peat and pepper, and more fruit seems to have been the motto when they composed this new Talisker that makes me think of the Caol Ila 18 yo OB.
Mouth: smooth, sweet and peppery (here we go) at the same time, with again these enjoyable citrusy notes (sugared lemon juice, tangerines…). Some peat but not too much, tea, herbal tea, a little liquorice and just hints of toffee, with also some passion fruit.
Medium long finish, very enjoyable and with no burn whatsoever. Very, very smooth and balanced but not lacking oomph, this one might be the feminine version of Talisker. Extremely quaffable just like that (warning, danger!) 90 points.
[These tasting notes have been reproduced from Serge's site Whiskyfun.com]
Appearance: Light gold
Body: Medium
Palate: An immediate sweet flash of coconut soon becomes medicinal, then starts to smoulder. The smoke ignites into flame then starts to dry. Water calms this down and out come the maritime notes, alongside the embers of a now-dead wood fire.
Finish: Becomes increasingly spicy approaching the big, maritime, robust and lingering finish. When dilute, increasingly subtle and liquorous, but the smoke still drives through towards the finish.

5 stars based on 1 Review
Servings: 6 or 8 servings
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Difficulty: Easy
For the Crepes:
1 cup whole milk, at room temperature, or scalded and cooled to room temperature
3 large eggs, at room temperature
About ¼ cup water (or for dessert crepes, dry white wine, sherry, cognac, or kirsch)
2 ounces (4 tablespoons or ½ stick) unsalted butter, melted, plus a little more for making the crepes
2 ounces (a generous ½ cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
Whole nutmeg
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 recipe Fresh Strawberry Compote
Confectioners' sugar, optional
1 recipe Grand Marnier Whipped Cream
For the Fresh Strawberry Compote:
2 pints fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and quartered or thickly sliced
2 tablespoons sugar
½ cup strawberry preserves, forced through a wire mesh strainer
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur, optional
For the Grand Marnier Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur
For the Crepes:
In a 4 cup measuring cup or mixing bowl marked with volume measurements, whisk together the milk, butter and eggs together until smooth. Add enough water to make 2 level cups, or if making the crepes for dessert, add ¼ cup of wine and then enough water to bring it to 2 cups.
In a separate mixing bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, a generous grating of nutmeg, sugar, and salt. Gradually whisk the liquids into the dry ingredients, being careful not to let the flour lump. The batter will be quite thin. Let it rest, covered, for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerated overnight.
Heat a seasoned crepe pan or 8-inch non-stick pan and over medium-high heat. Brush lightly but evenly with butter. Pour in just enough batter (about ¼ cup) to thinly coat the bottom of the pan, swirling until it covers the entire bottom, and cook until the edges are well browned, the underside is golden-brown, and the top is set and opaque, about 35 to 45 seconds.
Loosen the edges, carefully flip the crepe, and cook until the second side is beginning to color. Invert the pan over a warmed plate. The crepe will fall out into it. Carefully flatten it and keep it warm while repeating with the remaining batter, separating each crepe with a sheet of wax paper.
The crepes can be made ahead up to this point. Let them cool and stack them with a sheet of wax paper separating them, transfer to a plastic storage bag and refrigerate until needed. Re-warm each crepe for a few seconds in the pan over medium heat.
Using a slotted spoon, put a little of the compote to one side of a warm crepe, roll it up, and drizzle with a little of the compote sauce. Dust with powdered sugar if liked and add a dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.
For the Fresh Strawberry Compote:
Makes about 3½ cups.
Combine the berries and sugar in a glass, ceramic, or stainless steel bowl. Toss well and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the berries throw off their juices, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the preserves, juice, zest, and liqueur. Let stand 30 minutes. May be chilled before serving, and can be made up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerated until needed.
For the Grand Marnier Whipped Cream:
Makes 2 cups.
Whip cream until it is thickened. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue beating until it holds soft peaks. Fold in the zest and liqueur. Chill until needed.

Comments about Surge:
The biggest leatherman out there. Is it really needed when you have the wave and charge in the inventory already? No actual phillips screwdriver but lots of bit drives. Why have standard screwdrivers when the bit drive is there? It doesn't make sense to me unless you are driving up the tool count. It has big comfortable handles with minimal fold out tools, very unlike the supertool 300. The one handed flip out knives are good. The scissors are very good! A good big tool but it just doesn't have the golly gee-whiz appeal of the other leathermans. Maybe leatherman just set the bar too high with the earlier tools? The replaceable tools are well thought out.

Comments about Surge:
I am terribly disappointed to receive a Surge this afternoon and then struggle with a poorly designed "Deluxe Leather Case" that does not provide a secure means to store a Bit Kit and Bit Extension without worrying about the loss off one of the bit holders and the Bit Extension.
I cleaned the packing grease off using WD40 and began to try and get the thing into the "Deluxe Leather Sheath" and it was a struggle to just get the flap to snap.
Later I pulled it out of the sheath and something fell into my lap. The lever to unlock / release the tools on the side of the "Large Bit Driver" and the "Can / Bottle Opener" fell off the Surge! It appears that this lever has two pivot points / rods about mid way that stick into a hole on each side of the handle. One of the pivot points/rods broke off and the lever fell off.
This is not what I had grown to expect from Leatherman quality. I owned a Wave for years and it never failed. It disappeared in my move overseas. So while back in the states I wanted to replace it.
I purchased it on September 7th and received it today the 10th. I did not even have the opportunity to use it for what it is designed to do. The product is defective!
I had excellent service from the Wave. The fit and finish of the Surge I received was nothing close to the fit and finish of the Wave that I had. I cannot recommend this to anyone until it is proven that Leatherman can deliver a quality Surge without defect to me. I have to absorb the original shipping costs and now pay additional shipping to return it for a replacement not to mention the time involved packing, addressing and shipping the return. Irritation and aggravation from a company that prides itself on Quality and Innovation.
This Surge failed hands down.

Comments about Surge:
this tool is really nice, however you need to replace the useless flat screwdrivers with a micro bit adapter and another tool as they are almost useless since the tool has the bit driver add on, swapping the serrated blade with a gut hook on it from the charge to this unit would also add more as well, honestly all leathermans should have that knife on them.
if you can't fit the micro adapter in there try making a micro bit adapter for the large bit driver as an option, having that option has helped greatly when i used to own a wave.

BALTIMORE (Reuters) - The Baltimore Orioles, off to their worst start in more than two decades and sitting at the bottom of the Major League Baseball standings, fired manager Dave Trembley, the team said on Friday.
Trembley, who had a 187-283 record since being hired as the Orioles' manager in June 2007, will be replaced on an interim basis by the team's third base coach Juan Samuel.
The Orioles' 15-39 start to the season is the franchise's worst start since the 1988 team opened the season with 21 consecutive losses.
"Nobody believes the reason we have the record we do is somehow Dave Trembley's fault, or that making a change will magically change everything," Orioles president Andy MacPhail said at a press conference. "But we reached a point we felt this was the appropriate thing to do."
MacPhail said Trembley had been asked to stay with the Baltimore organization but had not yet responded.
Trembley, who was named the team's interim manager in June 2007 before being named manager two months later, is the second MLB manager to be fired this season. Kansas City fired manager Trey Hillman in May.
"The results on the field were not what any of us would have hoped for, and I understand that the organization felt the time was right to move in a different direction," Trembley said in a statement.
Samuel, 49, played in the majors for 16 seasons, primarily as a second baseman. He was a three-time National League All-Star.
In his 27th year in professional baseball, Samuel has been the Orioles' third base coach for four seasons.
"I hope to inject some spark into these players," Samuel said at the press conference. "It's an opportunity I do not take lightly, and have full intention of taking advantage of it."

For a lot of us, it already feels like summer is here, so I wanted to group together songs that put me in a summer mood.
Last summer, I went hitchhiking all around Gaspésie with a friend of mine. We met a lot of different people and saw so many gorgeous places. On a particularly beautiful day, between Percé and somewhere near Newport Point, a young couple was kind enough to take us in their red Mustang convertible. They were listening to Adele's Rolling In The Deep ON REPEAT: they liked it that much. One of the best and most surreal ride, under the sun, with the wind in our hair and Adele's voice filling us, young and free. It was that cliché but that great at the same time. Ever since, of course, this is a summer song for me.
I won't tell every story behind every song, that's not the point, but it's just an example as to why some of them that aren't really considered 'summer songs' happen to be here.
So here are my personal selection (a non-exhaustive list, and yes, there's a Beach Boys song), divided in two parts:

2. Wait For The Summer - Yeasayer
3. If This Ain't Love (Don't Know What Is) - Nicole Willis & The Soul Investigators

5. Still Sound - Toro Y Moi
6. Summer Sun - Koop
7. Rolling In The Deep - Adele

Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
Short Take Road Test: 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD
This 2009 review is representative of model years 2009 to 2014.
By Tony Swan of Car and Driver
In early 2003, the Murano was new and flashy and hot and seemed to be on its way to first place in a five-way winter comparison test until we returned from the snowy wilds of northern Michigan and an afternoon of lapping the five contenders on our rural test loop. It was then that our quality doubts hardened into a test-staff consensus, as the Murano produced a chorus of squeaks and rattles on the nastier stretches, aggravated by jiggles that suggested the sporty suspension tuning was a little too stiff for its Altima-based body shell.
Flash forward to now and the second-generation Murano, redesigned inside and out and offered as a 2009 model. The stylistic environment has obviously evolved since 2003, and among today's less-inhibited designs, the Murano's cautiously updated sheetmetal doesn't have the visual horsepower of the original. On the other hand, there's more real horsepower — 265 versus 245 from the previous generation of Nissan's corporate 3.5-liter V-6 — and it's mated to Nissan's latest CVT.
More important than the extra power, the new Murano's assembly quality, interior materials, and general solidity raise the game for this stylish five-seater.
This is a slightly bigger Murano than the original — almost an inch longer and a half-inch taller on the same 111.2-inch wheelbase, and similar in size to the Ford Edge. It's also significantly quieter than its predecessor at idle, at 70-mph cruise, and particularly at wide open throttle. A little more dimension and sound-suppression measures that deliver a lot more quiet usually add up at the scales, and that's true here. At 4183 pounds, this Murano is 121 pounds heavier than the "Neither-Nor" of 2003. Both vehicles were equipped with all-wheel drive, both were well equipped.
But the small gain in mass doesn't hold back the '09 Murano at the track, where it sprints to 60 in 6.9 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in 15.4 at 92 mph. That's about a half-second quicker than the original Murano and 5 mph faster at the quarter-mile lights. Fuel economy — 18 mpg city, 23 highway — is at the top of this class.
There are a couple areas where the new vehicle's dynamics don't measure up quite as well — braking, for one. Our test car stopped from 70 mph in 178 feet — not bad for this class, but the 2003 Murano did it in 166 feet, significantly better. More tangible, though harder to measure, are responses that aren't as eager and precise as those of the original, the trade for ride quality that's distinctly creamier. Think of it as the price of growing up. Adult comfort versus youthful exuberance. Too bad you can't have both, isn't it?
The as-tested price of our 2003 Murano was $34,717, consistent with the other players in that game. Our 2009 test vehicle tallies in at $37,745. However, the starting point for this Murano SL AWD is $30,225. As always, look both ways before crossing those options boxes.
