Very quick and easy to make. Very flavorful. This is a keeper and will become part of the monthly rotation. I had some leftover Stovetop Stuffing, so I also stuffed it into the pork chop - Wow, very yummy combo.
robert from
boise, idaho
very tasty. i would probably add more herbs than is suggested to completely cover 2 chops. but other than that, it was very good, a keeper
JENN from
Indianapolis, IN
Everyone in my family loved this recipe. My husband even asked me to make it again twice in one week. It's really easy too. I can get it prepared and on the table after work in a pretty short period of time. Excellent. My one year old son even enjoyed it asking for "more, more" after each bite.
Kelly from
Seattle, WA
I ended up using my own homemade pesto, rather than the bought kind recommended, but other than that, changed very little. Chops were moist and very yummy. Served with a side of pasta or rice, this is a great quick meal for two!

Julie Gorton from
I have been making this recipe for quite awhile. Try this next time; use a German chocolate cake mix and the flavor will be wonderful! Also, since I am allergic to walnuts I use chopped peanuts and the saltiness gives the recipe a little added something. You won't be sorry you tried these!

Saima Kassam from
Whitby, ON
these brownies are mmm ooey gooey deliciously chewly good. best brownies i've had in a very long time.
A Wiener from
I didn't think that using a recipe with cake mix would really work, or at least not turn out so great. But I was pleasantly surprised at this one. The only thing is that my boys were not fond of the caramel, I'll have to change it up a bit & see what I can substitute that would work & still taste great next time.
Betsy Melton from
Cabot, PA
Don't get me wrong these brownies are good with their gooey caramel goodness. They are easy to make and my husband loved them; but thet don't top my mother-in-laws marshmallow brownies. I guess it's a matter of taste- caramel vs. marshmallow!
Kris Brown from

These are not only really easy to make - but even eaiser to eat - so perfect!
Thank you.

These brownies were awesome. If you love chocolate and caramel, then go with these. The recipe is easy to follow.
Tonya Cunningham from
Lees Summit, MO
This looks like a lot less work and an easier way to make brownies, other than the brownie mix, which always comes out to thin and gets hard really quick.
donna harris from
Coal Valley, IL
I had a recipe like this one years ago and somehow during moving a few times I lost the recipe. When I saw this one, I know I found it. It is so delicious they just melt in your mouth. Thank You! for giving me the recipe.

Best brownies I've made in a long while. My hubbies favorite now....
Katherine Cramer from
Fenton, MI
Oh my goodness, these are the best I have ever made!! At first, I thought I made them wrong, because they sank in the middle. I don't know if they are supose to do that or not, so I put them in the refrigerator. They were a little hard at first,then I set them on the counter overnight,and they are so good, and so rich!!
JAN LARSON from

Best tasting treat ever. Family loves them..
Ann Klinger from
These brownies turned out great and took little effort. I love the taste of chocolate and caramel! I am planning on making these again for Valentines day and I know my family will feel very special!

My 2012 Martin Scepter V.
While recovering from rotator cuff repair surgery this past fall and winter I had the time to do some upgrades on my ole reliable. I decided to get some Loesch grip side plates, upgrade the sight from the HHS slider to a DS Advantage with HHA Pro scope and designed and made a new quiver mounting bracket to move the quiver back, up and closer to the riser (somewhat like a Tight Spot). The upper STS I made earlier is still in use as well as my home-made TRG and Saunders cable slide.

Podocarpus are relatives of the decorative yew tree and evergreen pine, with conifer-type short, flattened needles creating a delightful fringe-like appearance. This species has a long botanical history of shaping and training, often espaliered or trimmed as topiary. Ours is an Asian varietal sculpted in the Informal Upright style of bonsai, featuring a gently curved trunk. Both the yew and the pine are symbols of longevity.
Tips on WateringCareful watering is key to maintaining healthy bonsai. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Watering instructions may vary slightly depending on the tree or plant species. Please refer to the information tag attached to your bonsai for specific information. Over time you will be able to evaluate each particular bonsai's water requirements and create your own watering schedule to accommodate it. Note whether your bonsai is considered an indoor or outdoor tree and refer below to more specific watering tips for each type.Best results are achieved by watering with a small watering can or hose attachment with a fine-spray nozzle so that water cascades are softer, avoiding blasts to bonsai and potting soil. To water, thoroughly soak the container's soil until water runs out of the bottom drainage holes. Periodic misting of the tree's foliage is also recommended.
Trimming and PinchingBonsai trees benefit from trimming to maintain their miniature size and beautiful form. Pinch and trim new growth back to the farthest safe point, being careful not to remove all new growth. For more in-depth tips about trimming (and training) techniques, an instructional book will provide the best, safest recommendations to keep your bonsai in tip-top shape.

Let's make it a day when we show our anger over the war, our compassion for our sisters in Iraq, our disgust with our leaders, and our determination to change course. And let's commit to building, over the long term, a women's peace movement that will make our global sisters, and our grandmothers, proud.
|Iraqis Human Rights Are Still In Peril
by Medea Benjamin and Andrea Buffa
December 10, recognized internationally as human rights day, is an opportune moment to look at human rights in Iraq. Recent attention has been focused on the trial of Saddam Hussein, whose rule was infamous for its violations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which calls for freedom from unlawful deprivation of life, torture, disappearance, and arbitrary detention. The problem is that Iraqis are still not free from these grave violations of their human rights...

This November 11, as we honor the sacrifice and courage of our veterans, let us recognize that the best way to support our troops is to call for their swift exit from Iraq, to guarantee them the care they deserve when they return, and to make policy changes that will stop us from ever again rushing into a reckless, oil-hungry war.

By Medea Benjamin, October 28, 2005
Before Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was a city of 485,000 people, 65% of whom were black. Today, officials estimate that during the day there are some 125,000 people, falling to 70,000 at nighttime when many leave to find shelter outside the city. Mayor Nagin predicted that New Orleans would lose about half its pre-Katrina population. And with government policies and market forces stacked against the poor, the "new" New Orleans is becoming whiter and whiter.
|2000 Too Many
by Medea Benjamin and Gayle Brandeis
Published on Tuesday, October 25, 2005 by CommonDreams.org
This 2000 wouldn't have happened without the year 2001. Without 9/11. Those numbers gave our president the false justification to begin this war. Some 3000 Americans were killed on the attacks of September 11. Now almost 2/3 that number have been killed in Iraq. And that's not counting soldiers who have died after leaving Iraq, died from horrendous wounds and tormented suicides. It doesn't count soldiers who are left permanently disabled or those who survived in body but not in spirit, the broken souls whose lives have been shattered by what they did and saw.
|Celebrating Independence in the Era of Empire
by Medea Benjamin
This Fourth of July, while Americans are marching in parades and oohing and aahing at the fireworks, it would be a patriotic gesture to also spend some time thinking about what independence means today. Our nation was founded on a determination to be free of domination by the British empire. The US Declaration of Independence proclaimed the need to fight the War of Independence against Britain because King George III had 'kept among us standing armies' that committed intolerable 'abuses and usurpations.' Today it is our government whose standing army is committing abuses and usurpations in foreign lands.

Heather Beeseck, a sophomore secondary education major at Potomac State College, would know. She has been involved with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for two years and was baptized into the faith on August 6, 2011.
The Church, according to the National Review, is the fourth largest religious organization in the United States. Its numbers expand at 2.5 percent higher rates than the Roman Catholic Church and may soon pass the United Methodist Church in size.

Jewel Match belongs to the Match 3 game genre, which requires you to use clever tactics to quickly create rows of 3 identical jewels, making them explode on both screens. The game continues until all the boxes have disappeared and the level has been completed. Jewel Match also offers fantastic extras that have been specially designed for playing on the Nintendo DS und Nintendo DSi. For example, in some levels you need to use the game console's integrated microphone to whip up a magic storm by huffing and puffing through the mike, to help you get out of some tricky situations. You will find it easy to learn to play the game, but it will become completely absorbing, and you will typically be thinking Just one more level.
There are 150 ingenious levels in total, requiring your utmost attention, skill and reaction. You are supported during the game by freely playable dynamic extras. For instance, if you are in a hairy situation, you can use three hammers with different powers to smash the boxes and jewels. For a 5 combination you receive a powerful helix that sweeps across a whole row in the gameplay area.
Jewel Match is based on an intuitive Match 3 principle, which is set in a stunning graphic environment. You can learn to play it in next to no time, and no matter whether you are young or old, an experienced gamer or complete novice, you will be hooked in just a few minutes.

Rep. Donna Edwards, a Maryland Democrat who is associated with J Street, which argues for a more progressive U.S. policy on the Israel-Palestine conflict, has staved off a challenge from a fellow Democrat who sought to raise money by running to her right on Mideast issues.
This week, Glenn Ivey, the former Prince George's County state's attorney, announced he was abandoning plans to challenge Edwards, citing his inability to raise money.
"[I]t would take a very substantial amount of money to get my message out to voters in two very expensive media markets," Ivey said in a statement. "A tough economy and a compressed election time-frame have made it tough for my campaign to raise enough funds to move forward."
Ivey had raised about $150,000 while Edwards had taken in about $230,000, according to the latest available numbers reported by the Baltimore Sun. Part of the fundraising fight centered on the contentious issue of American policy toward Israel.
Edwards has long been associated with J Street, and she has, for example, been much more critical of Jewish settlements in the West Bank than most members of Congress. In 2010, she raised money from a group, New Policy PAC, that is open to the idea of a "democratic secular state" in historic Palestine – in other words, a one-state solution. Edwards describes herself a strong supporter of a two-state solution to the conflict.
In the past few months, J Street raised more than $40,000 for Edwards, the group tells me. Federal election filings show that virtually all of the money J Street raised for Edwards came from outside of her district, from places like New York and California.
American activists who are more aligned with the hardline positions of the American Israel Public Affairs Council than with J Street have long opposed Edwards and sought to unseat her. Ivey first explored a primary challenge to Edwards in 2009 with the backing of right-wing activists on the issue, who were angered by Edwards' "present" vote on a resolution supporting Israel's invasion of Gaza.
This time around, Ivey was "rumored to have the backing of several wealthy members of the local Jewish community who live outside of Edwards' district," Washington Jewish Week reported in November.
A December invitation to an Ivey fundraiser, which I've posted in full below, focused almost exclusively on U.S. policy toward Israel.
"Glenn [Ivey] has made it clear that he is unwavering in his support for the State of Israel while his opponent's voting record, public positions and comments on Israel related issues have been of major concern to the Jewish community," writes Barbara Goldberg Goldman of Rockville in the invitation, adding in a follow-up:
"His opponent, Donna Edwards, has demonstrated by her absolute actions on multiple occasions that her ideas about Israel's safety, security and right to defend herself, is vastly different from how we believe as a people and as a community. We now have an opportunity to make an important change and difference. It doesn't matter whether or not you reside in Glenn's district. Let's do it!"
Checks for Ivey were to be sent to Michael Gelman, the chairman emeritus of the hardline Israel Project and chair of the Executive Committee of the Board of The Jewish Federations of North America.
The invitation also contained a lengthy and detailed Ivey position paper on Israel and Iran, in which Ivey pledges to support increased U.S. military aid for Israel, despite the deficit-cutting fever In Washington, and tightened sanctions on Iran.

The official opening night of Ruffino's on the River Monday followed a week of warm-up invitation-only trial runs that already had the buzz going up and down the bayou and across town.
|Ruffin Rodrigue and his grandmother, Rita Anastasia Rodrigue
Owner Ruffin Rodrigue worked the room like the restaurant pro he's become after years of successful operations in Baton Rouge. He was so excited about the new Lafayette gig he even brought his own grandmother so he could show off his latest creation. Two of his fellow Capital City-based rising restaurateur luminaries drove in to spread the love: Raising Cane's founder Todd Graves and Walk-On's co-founder Brandon Landry.
To round out the décor, Ruffin plans customer portraits for the walls, and in a brilliant move is already talking about a separate parking lot for the golf carts so popular in the 'hood.

OCT 30 If you're a Louisiana native of (ahem) a certain age, you might have fond (or fuzzy, as the case may be) memories of a Zebra concert and singing "Who's Behind the Door" until your ears rang. This post on NOLA Defender profiles the leader of that band, Randy Jackson.
OCT 30 The National Journal offers this analysis of Bobby Jindal's willingness to stump in any Senate campaign that's not in Louisiana. Why is that? The Journal asks some GOPers and finds that the answer is one we already know: he's so unpopular here, because he's been so busy running for President, that his support might be "toxic."
OCT 30 If you're not obsessed with the Texas governor's race - what's wrong with you? Here's another installment, from our own IND contributor Lamar White Jr., who explains why Wendy's "infamous" wheelchair ad was a shock to the national media - but not to anyone familiar with Greg Abbott's record.
OCT 30 Blogger Tom Aswell is still all over the OGB mess - and all by himself, apparently. In this post, he's revealing orders from the Jindal administration to destroy records from the state employee health insurance plan. Those orders (he's heard) have angered the Secretary of State and caused an administration lawyer to quit her job. Wow!

Dave must think we're dummies, Manny says -- and Dave's probably right.
OCT 29 Usually, the copy on Red Shtick is satire. But in this post "from the publisher," we get a pretty astute political analysis of Edwin Edwards' charisma and old-school populist swagger. Edwards isn't concealing billionaire backers, or trying to make his opponent out to be "Satan," the post says. He's just running. Huh; imagine that.
OCT 29 Salon's Elias Isquith writes this fairly hilarious commentary on a National Review post about Bobby Jindal's attempts to "beef up" in preparation for a presidential run. But it's not just funny; Isquith seems to have Bobby's number, commenting on how the Gov "and his team are hopelessly ensconced in the Tea Party bubble."

"I'm more of an independent musician," said Sullivan, who is referred to professionally as J-Rod. "Aside from just playing the drums, I also produce music as well, like tracks for different artists. Most of the time, I usually make it on my own. I don't bring anybody in often because I'm capable of producing the music myself because I also play bass guitar and I also play piano and keyboard. ... As a kid, I was a football player and I wanted to be in the NFL. That was my dream. I guess, my dad kind of pushed me to the music side because he saw that I had something in me that was different than a lot of people.
"He saw passion behind the music. So I kind of shifted my way toward music more, put more of my time into it and worked hard at it. I'm thankful to be where I'm at now and I'm going to keep pushing forward, pursuing this. [In the future] I just want to tour the world," he said, adding artists he would enjoy performing with include Erykah Badu and Justin Bieber. "And I produce also, so whenever I'm not on the road touring I could be in the studio or producing for an artist also. So that's two of my goals that I want to be able to do for a living."
A 2011 graduate of Cartersville High School, Sullivan graduated from Atlanta Institute of Music Sept. 23 with a degree in music performance.
Along with being a musician at Grace Community Christian Church in Kennesaw, Sullivan has participated in several studio sessions as well as performed with artists around Atlanta during the past year. Along with smaller venues, some of his past concerts at the Atlanta Jazz Festival and Centennial Park have featured larger audiences. In late September, Sullivan also attended a gospel recording project in Denver, where he was able to meet artists, such as Joshua Rogers and DeWayne Woods, and be featured in a taped performance for a program — in honor of the Aurora, Colo., community — on The Word Network.
"I've known him for about three or four years," said metro-Atlanta musician Chazz Reese. "He's a phenomenal musician. He's a very responsible person. He's currently my MD. I'm an artist and he's currently my music director for my band. He's done a production with me at The Fox Theatre just recently. He's been on Praise 102.5, which is the No. 1 gospel station in Atlanta. We did a live concert with that.
"And he's a producer, and he's very good at his craft and a good person. [He also is] very detail-oriented. If it's something he has to learn, he'll get it down ... It's borderline genius — his skill set. He's a very talented musician."
Referring to himself as a down-to-earth, humble person, Sullivan is a member of St. Luke A.M.E. Church in Cartersville, with his favorite quote being "Walk by Faith, Not by Sight." Along with providing spiritual nourishment, Sullivan said attending church also introduced him to his favorite instrument.
"The thing that drew me to the drums was when I was growing up in church I used to watch the drummer at the church play and I just fell in love with them that way. When I was little also, I used to get pots and pans and stuff out of my mom's cabinet and start beating on them with spoons," said Sullivan, the son of Joe and Alfreda Sullivan and the grandson of Norman and Beverly Johnson. "My grandma, I think, she noticed something through that also, and she bought a toy drum set with paper heads on it. I messed that up and then started progressing my way toward a bigger set.
"I [feel that I] can express myself through the drums a lot," he said, adding through the years he has become versatile in a wide range of music genres, including gospel, R&B, jazz, pop, rock and fusion.

My tenants moved out and left some items amoung them a cast iron dutch oven in terrible shape. I would like to salvage it if possible. It has food caked and burned all over it and rustd badly also. Does anyone have suggestions on making this usable.
i found an old badly rusted iron pot made in usa way back when. i took a 5 gallon bucket put 4 gallons of white vinegar in it put the pot in make sure it completely submerged put on a bucket lidd and put it in the basement for 10 days.after thati used a brush with steel brissels removed as much as possible of the rust and returned the pot into the bucket for an other 10 days.it worked like a charm.before you are going to use it you have to season it CRISCO is great for this. google cast iron pot seasoning and you find instruction for that.i did mine on the outdoor gas grill so not to stink up the house.i use this pot at least once a week.This message has been edited.

Thanks for your response. I've heard vinegar is good to treat rust so this is a good suggestion. Thanks
I did not know this about vinegar.
Thanks for asking the question and thanks for the info beers1!
Depending on how bad it is corroded, you might want to find a place to have it media blasted. That will take it back to the base metal and after that, normal care should be sufficient so it lasts for many years.
I've used baking soda with just enough water to make it into a paste on various pots and pans, but I don't recall if I've ever used it on a cast iron pot.
As has Beers, I've also used white vinegar. I've read the lemon juice has cleaning properties but haven't tried it on pans.
Good luck. It's too bad your tenants were so inconsiderate.This message has been edited. Last edited by: GardenSprite,
i found a old rusty dutch oven also
the best way, and the way recomended by griswald
is to put the dutch oven in the oven at 400 degrees plus
bake for 2 hrs
take out and with a wire brush or a grinder with a wire brush clean it
using lard or crisco NOT veg oil
coat the cast iron with it
put back in oven at 350 for 45 minutes
wipe excess oil off
do NOT wash ol off
your pot is now seasoned and ready to cook in
when you use dutch oven, always..after cooking and washing, coat with crisco/lard bake, wipe off
this will keep it seasoned
your old cast fry pans, treat this way also
if you dont want that old dutch oven
I'll take it!!!as is dirty food and all
and i'll pay the shippingThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,
Thanks for the info Frodo but I will keep it. Its the perfect size for me and I look forward to getting it in usable shape. I've bought 2 gallons of vinegar to try Beer's suggestion and will follow with your suggestion of seasoning it.
use CRISCO to season the put. if you can find any information as to why and who invented CRISCO you will understand my recomandation...
responding to old post...fyi
in wally world in the camping section there are dutch oven liners, insert liner, cook, then throw away liner
helps with clean up
Frodo, of what material are these liners made? Are they plastic?
The ones I've seen are made of Parchment paper.

In Scouts we'll line them with heavy duty foil when doing Dutch Oven Cobblers. If the foil leaks, which is especially a problem when piecing together regular foil, getting foil off of the Dutch oven after being glued in place with sugar from the fruit in the cobber can be a challenge. Especially if you don't have any left over heat from the charcoal to heat up the water.
Cleaning Dutch ovens is pretty easy, fill it with water, heat it, use wadded up aluminum foil to scrub anything that is stuck. Dump the water, dry it, rub it down with oil and reheat. The last step isn't required every time you use it. Never, ever use soap to clean cast iron. If you do, it will definitely need to be seasoned again.
General Disclaimer
Any advice given here is general in nature and is not necessarily valid for your given area. If in doubt check with your local codes enforcement department for what is required when doing electrical, plumbing or structural work on your house. Permits may or may not be required in your area and home owners may not be able to DIY some tasks. I have no way of knowing if you have the skills needed to complete the tasks you are asking about, when in doubt seek professional assistance.
My advice may be worth exactly what you pay me for it. :-) For the record I did not stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Sparky, are you aware that the issue of toxic effects from cooking with aluminum foil is still unresolved? At one time, it was considered that foil might contribute to development of Alzheimers. Although I've read that theory has been discredited, there are still some concerns over studies done in the Middle East:
It's hard to credit or discredit this work without doing a more extensive search for studies done elsewhere, as it may be that the source of the manufactured foil may be an issue (especially if it comes from a certain Pacific Rim country).
Just FYI.
Parchment, on the other hand, has been used in cooking for years. I haven't found any sources I consider credible as to whether or not it has side effects. Not saying it does or it doesn't; I just haven't found sources I consider reputable.
i never had a problem cleaning my cast iron pot after using it no matter how much food is stuck on it.all i do is use our prewash appliance she has 4 feet and along tounge also a waggy tail. than i rinse it and put on the burner on hot. no need to use stuff that you pay for than dispose of it in the land fill.not very eco friendly..This message has been edited.

i have 3 dutch ovens 8 cast iron skillets and 1 roaster,,, all of them get the oil treatment after use. hint....at walmart in the camping section there are dutch oven liners . perfict for lining when you camp.
a well seasoned cast iron is better than any non stick you can buy

Since 1974, Ohio University's Correctional Education has provided an opportunity for incarcerated students to study through print-based courses, to earn college credit, and work toward an Ohio University degree.
Sajad Shakoor earned his Bachelor of Specialized Studies degree while he was incarcerated. An Ohio University education opened many doors for him and made him an agent of change in the world. View the video below to learn more about this Ohio University success story.
Student Inquiry and Welcome Packets
Students can request to receive information in the mail about OHIO Correctional Education. Requests can be submitted online (using the online request form on the right), by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, by phone toll free at 800.444.2420, or through the mail to Ohio University Correctional Education, 102 Haning Hall, 1 Ohio University, Athens OH 45701.
The student inquiry packet includes information regarding degree programs, courses, tuition and financial aid, the admission process, and the forms listed below. Students will receive a hard copy of each form in the mail.
After a student is admitted to the University, he or she will receive a personalized welcome packet from the student's academic advisor.
The student welcome packet includes information regarding the degree options, course information and policies, tuition and financial aid, payment, and the forms listed below. Students will receive a hard copy of each form in the mail.
Academic Programs and Courses Offered
Incarcerated students can work toward earning the following degrees, or may elect to take classes without declaring a program major.
To view a list of courses offered, click HERE.
How Print-Based Education Works
Degree-seeking and nondegree students may choose to earn college credit through a structured format of lessons and exams with minimal instruction known as print-based courses (PBC) or a "testing out" version of courses referred to as course credit by examination (CCE), which involves no instructor guidance.
PBCs are developed by Ohio University faculty using the same content from their classroom courses. A study guide helps the student understand the material and contains assignments that the student will submit to the instructor for evaluation and feedback. Most lessons require the student to answer objective questions, write brief essays, or complete a paper or project. Generally, two supervised examinations are required—a midcourse and a final examination.
All communication between the student and instructor must be facilitated through the student's academic advisor. If the student has a question about a lesson or when he or she will receive a grade, the student should contact the academic advisor first. The advisor will contact the instructor on behalf of the student. Any parent, sibling, or advocate for the student also should direct questions to the academic advisor instead of contacting the student's instructor.
Students enrolled in CCEs receive a syllabus that outlines course requirements, grading policy, and the kind of examination to be taken. The student will need to obtain the textbook and prepare for the examination without assistance from the instructor. The grade on the examination will be the grade for the course.
Students may enroll in classes any time during the year. From the date of enrollment, the student has eight months to complete a PBC and six months to take the exam for a CCE.
The application fee is $25. Students or sponsors should NOT pay any course registration, tuition, or fees until receiving a billing invoice. Courses selected must be approved by the student's academic advisor after which charges are invoiced and sent to the student and/or his or her sponsor.
2014-2015 Academic Year
Effective fall semester 2013, OHIO Correctional Education students will pay the following price for tuition and materials:
Ohio resident: $340 per credit hour
Non-Ohio resident: $343 per credit hour
This rate applies to ALL print-based courses and course credit by examination. The price includes the tuition, instructional materials, course guides, shipping costs, and all materials for each course.
If payment for tuition is received by the 21st day of the month, the student's effective start date will be the first day of the next month. Payments received on the 22nd day of the month up until the last day of the month will cause the student's effective start date to skip a month. For example if a payment was received between January 1-21, the student's effective start date would be February 1. If the payment was received between January 22-31, the student's effective start date would be March 1.
The tuition and fees above are valid through the 2013-2014 academic calendar, which includes all courses with a start date of September 1, 2013, through August 1, 2014. Tuition and fee information is available on the Office of the Bursar's Tuition and Fees page. Click on the 2013-2014 eLearning link.
A student services fee is added to courses at the rate of $3.00 per credit hour, not to exceed $33.00 for multiple courses taken in one registration. This is a University-wide fee that applies to all students taking Ohio University courses and to all Ohio University course registrations, whether campus-based or distance learning.
Application Review
All Ohio University students who have been convicted of a felony must complete a review process. This process is deferred for students participating through the Correctional Education program during the period of incarceration only. Correctional Education students who wish to continue enrollment after being released must submit a re-enrollment form to the Registrar's Office and complete the required felony review process through the Office of Legal Affairs.
This review process will determine a student's post-release enrollment options, including on-campus, online, and/or print-based enrollment. Most Correctional Education students are able to continue enrollment through one or more of these options. However, eligibility for enrollment at Ohio University through the Correctional Education program does not guarantee eligibility for other forms of enrollment after incarceration; in extreme and rare cases, a Correctional Education student may be prohibited from continuing enrollment at OHIO after release.

With the wrap-up of the 2005 Engine Masters Challenge, we mark the fourth season of our engine building compe-tition with a new champion team: Lennart and Birgitta Bergquist of Autoshop Racing Engines. The handshakes have been made, the checks presented to the three money finishers, and, before we pack our bags, editor Hunkins has the photo-graphy sorted. We organize our notes, tapes, and spec sheets while the last of the competitor's engines are boxed up for the return ride home. It seems kind of lonely at World Products Headquarters late Saturday afternoon, as a light rain begins to fall and Jon Kaase loads his mighty Pontiac entry into the back of his Ford pickup for the long drive back to Georgia. Kaase is the last competitor to leave. The former champ finished Fourth in this year's event, after having taken the top spot in the last two of the previous three years of competition. This man's engine-building talent brought with it a pervasive fear of a virtual hammerlock on the number-one position. Right to the end, it was a wild and exciting week of racing engines.
On opening day, it was anyone's game. The Engine Masters Challenge is run over the course of a week, taking advantage of the three DTS dyno cells built into the back of Bill Mitchell's World Products engine facility in the heart of Long Island. The receiving area of World Products was alive with activity as the engines were uncrated and prepped for their round in the preliminary qualifying runs. Long before the competitors arrived, World had prepped the facility for the onslaught. Inside, assigned DTS dyno-docking carts awaited in rows, and Mitchell's normally busy engine-building stalls were cleared. The crew from DTS also arrived in advance, and each of the three dynos were calibrated and confirmed by running a test engine in each cell. To aid in acquiring tuning data, the latest Lambda air/fuel ratio acquisition instrumentation from Exhaust Gas Technologies was added to the battery of data-gathering equipment feeding the DTS dyno computer. On Monday morning, the place was prepped and ready for a rumble--and so were the competitors.
The Stage is SetUnder the rules for the 2005 Challenge, the engines were carbureted big-blocks running on 91 octane Shell V-Power pump gas, with a displacement limit of 509 ci--the fattest displacement ever for Engine Masters. There was no doubt this year's event would shatter the power levels seen before; the big question remaining was who would finish on top. The qualifying sessions would provide some insight as the engines showed their numbers. The top two competitors in qualifying from each dyno cell would earn a place in the finals, and these six finalists would duke it out for a piece of the healthy $160,000 purse and the prestige of a podium position.
This year's Engine Masters is scored by a combination of the average horsepower and average torque over a set rpm range, 2,500-6,500 rpm. After the engine is fired up, it is run to reach an operating temperature of 160-degree coolant and oil temp, or for a maximum of five minutes if those temperature levels are not met. The dyno pulls immediately follow. First comes a series of three warm-up pulls run back-to-back over the entire 2,500-6,500-rpm range. Sound simple? Consider it from a builder's perspective. There is no tuning allowed through the three back-to-back warm-up pulls, giving no real opportunities to "test the waters," so to speak, on how the engine will respond at wide-open throttle under the local conditions. An error in judgment on the initial settings of fuel mixture and timing can prove disastrous.
Death Rattle...Detonation is always the limiting factor in this pump-gas war. Cylinder pressure is torque, and torque production equates to power output, so it is no surprise that pushing cylinder pressure to the limits is part of any serious competitor's program. With 91-octane fuel, the limit of cylinder pressure is constrained by the level at which detonation has the engine feeding upon itself rather than making power. It's a fuzzy, ill-defined limit that can vary greatly with atmospheric conditions of barometric pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and vapor pressure. The high barometric pressure and October air served to accentuate cylinder pressure and aggravate the potential for devastating detonation. This would prove to have quite a bearing on the competition's final results.
In the qualifying rounds, many competitors found themselves with a lump in their throats listening to unexpected and brutal detonation on the first warm-up pull. Unfortunately, by then the point of no return has been crossed. Under the rules, the builder has no recourse but to let things ride and suffer through two more pulls in rapid succession, or withdraw from competition. With the heat added by each subsequent pull, the tendency toward detonation is amplified. By the third pull, the detonation can become disastrous. Too aggressive a tune-up out of the chute stung more than one competitor in qualifying. Needless to say, the dyno procedure is no walk in the park, with the low 2,500-rpm starting point and back-to-back protocol conspiring to exact a brutal toll on these edgy pump-gas mills.
The testing is brutal, but it's a fitting punctuation to what it takes just to make the show. These are the private stories of the builders that don't get told or captured by the camera, the months of planning, building, hands-on wrenching, and testing that goes into an Engine Masters effort. Every builder who made it to the event survived the trials of building and the inevitable setbacks. For some of our competitors, component failures in testing prior to the event meant `round-the-clock repairs eating into precious testing time. In other instances, holdups in parts availability had the entire engine programs changed and rethought at the 11th hour. All our builders had lived the competition for months prior to the final showdown at World.
Qualifying--Day 1By the first day, pre-event attrition had brought our field down to 19 competitors for the qualifying rounds. The anticipation was high for the first day of competition, with two engines scheduled for qualifying attempts. The opener was Donald Williams, son of two-time Second Place finisher Charles Williams of Newport News, Virginia. Donald's engine, fielded under the Pump Gas Performance banner was actually the very same mill run by his father in the `03 Engine Masters Challenge, reconfigured to fit within this year's 509ci limit. There was no doubt this was a well-developed powerplant, as proven by its performance two years ago. However, the first up for qualifying was also the first to succumb to savage detonation and the unforgiving testing regime. Donald's engine finished the qualifying session, but the damaging detonation compromised its potential. It was a scenario we would see repeated throughout the competition. For the second and final competitor of the day, Gary Blair of Blair Racing, the event ended in a much more decisive fashion, with an unlikely failure involving a seized distributor shaft stripping the distributor drive gear. This dashed Blair's hopes of success with his big-block Ford in the most disappointing way--ending its bid before the engine could even flex its muscle.
Qualifying--Day 2It was clear from the experiences of the first day's competition that the test conditions would undoubtedly take a toll. The lineup for day two included six hopeful entrants, beginning with the Chevrolet of Lennart and Birgitta Bergquist of Autoshop Racing Engines. Veterans of last year's events, the Swedish duo seemingly sought a detuned effort, with their 11.5:1 compression big-block. While the quietly confident, reserved, and methodical Bergquist went steadily about the business of preparing the mild-appearing engine on the dyno, there was little to give away the display of power to come. Lennart, aware of the critical nature of detonation tolerance, defied convention by performing his pre-event testing on 89-octane fuel. Even so, in view of the experiences of the previous day's competitors, Lennart conservatively backed timing out of the engine prior to qualifying. The big-block laid down a staggering 844 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque, and a qualifying number of 1285.33--a number that would stand at the number-one spot until the last day of qualifying.
Next up was the Cadillac entry of Donovan Harrison and John Wallace of Torque Inc. The team made a valiant effort to make the show, burning the midnight oil to repair damage incurred in prior testing. Pre-event dyno testing had shown this big production-based Caddy entry made the power for a strong showing. Despite the hard work, the engine experienced bearing problems and possibly a down cylinder in qualifying, leaving the team with the tough decision of withdrawing after the second scored pull, or risk total destruction of the engine. Reluctantly, they left with a DNF. Automotive Machine and Performance's Buick fared better. The Buick, essentially a street engine destined for a customer's car, was built to showcase the Buick's potential in true street trim. The big Buick was obviously fully prepared and ran flawlessly through the regime. Mike Phillips and Dave Wink handled the tuning chores with precision, tuning to an 1138 score, while delivering as much as 713 hp.
Tony Bischoff's entry was next, and Bischoff is always one to be taken seriously. This engine was clearly a powerhouse, and Bischoff was determined to get the most from his combination. With the assistance of Richard Kolb, Tony beat on the Chevrolet relentlessly during the tune-up phase of the competition in an effort to find the optimal carb and timing settings. The downside of this strategy is that the engine will retain heat, which would be sure to hamper the output during the scored qualifying runs. Nevertheless, with the engine producing as much as 834 hp and a final qualifying score of 1265.67, Bischoff was no doubt confident the entry would make the finals, so inevitably, it was time well spent in exploring the limits of his healthy Chevy. The extensive experimentation during qualifying would give Bischoff an edge in knowing how the engine would respond to tuning changes going into the finals.
Dove Performance, followed by Cadillac Performance Parts, would finish out the day. Dove, well known in FE Ford circles, had encountered parts-delivery problems, which curbed its development program on an all-new engine. This forced the team to field a well-seasoned and somewhat undersized 488-cube FE, originally built back in 1991. With tuning, Jim and David Dove scored a 1029 from their second-string mill. The Cadillac entry of Richard Potter was next and possessed the purposeful look of a real contender. Its debut was much anticipated, creating a buzz at the World shop as Potter prepared to run. Potter is intensely competitive and a true gentleman. By the number of custom mods readily apparent in this entry, Potter had seriously raised the bar on Cadillac engine development for this competition, no doubt an effort entailing endless late nights at the workshop. Apparent disaster struck when the harmonic balancer split the hub and launched from the crank snout on the second warm-up pull. As allowed by this year's rules, repairs can be made during the tuning period, and Potter was able to source a replacement damper from withdrawn competitors Torque Inc. A frenzied effort had the balancer replaced in the allotted time. Nevertheless, in the process, all of the available tuning time had been devoured. Potter had no choice but to run the engine in its baseline tune agonizingly lean of the required mixture. Hampered by a lack of fuel, the engine posted an 1130.33, well short of Potter's expectations and the performance the engine had proven capable of in pre-event testing.
Qualifying--Day 3Day three opened with the only Mopar entry of the event, the B1-headed wedge of Monroe, Wisconsin's T&B's Performance Machine. Tom and Brenda Foley built the engine to reflect the real street potential of a Mopar wedge and, in fact, this very engine was built for a customer's car, rather than as a definitive dyno-race exercise. The husband and wife shared equally in the building duty, with Brenda having ported the cylinder heads. The team, along with their four young children, made the trip to Long Island a family event, and their pleasant and warm attitude added immeasurably to the friendly and inviting spirit of the competition. The Foleys were pleased when the Mopar made numbers on par with their testing at home, posting a solid 1173 composite score, and making as much as 732 hp.
Following the Mopar was the strongest Ford showing: The 385-series big-block from Livernois Motorsports of Dearborn Heights, Michigan. John Lohone and crew calmly and methodically undertook to tune the serious Ford via air bleeds and timing, and found the powerplant capable of 817 hp and 733 lb-ft, delivering a composite average score of 1251. The Livernois engine was one of the few that showed power progressively gaining with each of the subsequent qualifying pulls, indicating this engine setup was far from the ragged edge. A sharp tuning aid employed by Livernois was the use of a knock sensor to indicate detonation. The total score put the Livernois team deep in the running for the finals.
Another Ford, and the second FE big-block in the field, was Barry Rabotnick's West Bloomfield, Michigan, entry. Rabotnick, a long-time Ford man and a well-known aftermarket industry insider, entered the competition as a privateer. The initial plans were for a much more radical FE, but as with the Dove FE Ford effort, parts delivery was to prove elusive before the required deadline. With resolve, Rabotnick realigned his program to a more conservative effort, rounding up the required FE parts to affect a build in time for the competition. The 505-cube engine, topped with Blue Thunder heads, delivered 752 hp, which was more than Barry had expected based on preliminary testing and a strong showing from a very practical Ford powerplant.
As the Rabotnick Ford was dismounted from the dyno cell, yet another Ford, the 385-series engine from Englewood, Colorado's MPG Heads was fired up in the next dyno cell. Scott Main and Bob Moore had determined ahead of time that the air conditions in their native Colorado differed significantly enough from those at World, and that relevant testing would have to be done away from their local facility. The engine was tested in Iowa just prior to the event and was seriously damaged in the process. Leak-down testing showed compromised cylinder sealing, and the engine was triaged upon delivery at World. The most apparent problem was a destroyed valve-seat insert. Scott and Bob actually machined and replaced the insert at World prior to the preliminaries and managed to make it to qualifying. However, the damage to the engine proved more extensive, as the power was down and declining, while a metallic knock signaled the need to withdraw for a DNF.
Mile High Performance's big-bore big-block Chevy was to be the last engine tested on day three. The entry, built in conjunction with Pro-Built engines, looked to be a well-developed piece, and the crew of Jay Kidwell, Wayne Gill, and Fred Morgan worked with amazing coordination and competence in the cell. Their abilities were really put to the test when catastrophic sounds of destruction rang from the dyno cell on one of the warm-up pulls at the top of the rpm range. A check of the damage revealed that the flywheel ring gear had been thrown and lodged between the block and flywheel. It would have appeared that their day was done, but with unreal determination, the trio set upon the engine to make a repair using the tune-up period. Remarkably, the Mile High team had the Chevy disconnected from the dyno, rolled back, the flywheel removed, the offending ring gear dislodged, and the engine planted back onto the DTS in the time allotted. Back in the hunt, but with every scrap of tune-up time consumed, the engine ran for a score of 1196.67, which would prove to be enough to make the finals.

JOE TALAMO, DAWNIE MACHO, Winner: "She not only has speed, but she's rateable. She broke so sharp then just came right back to me. When I shook the reins at her she just took off. She won easy going 4 1/2 (furlongs) and for her first time moving forward it was unbelievable. John (Sadler) said they just bought her and worked her one time. I talked to John this morning and he gave me all the confidence in the world. He said she'll do whatever you want, and she did. We'll have some fun at Del Mar with her."
VICTOR ESPINOZA, IZSHELEGAL, Second: "She's a very talented filly. I thought she would run big, but unfortunately she came running a little bit late. I haven't been on her, but I watched her work and I saw that she did everything nice and comfortable. Because it was her first time, I wanted to ride her patient. I just wanted to let her finish up good."
JOHN SADLER, DAWNIE MACHO, Winner: "When I went to Chicago to look at her she reminded me a lot of Coco Belle, another horse I trained. I flew back to Chicago on the redeye after a Lakers game. I got into Chicago at 5:30 in the morning and went out to Arlington to look at her. Then I got on a plane and flew back. We put a deal together about a week after her first race. We had a little trouble getting a plane out for her but when I got her back, she really breezed well Monday. The ($150,000) Sorrento (Aug. 6) Del Mar will be her next start."

BMC Racing Team's Daniel Oss was one of several riders caught up in a number of crashes that disrupted Thursday's stage of the Giro d'Italia.
Evans Remains 10th Overall
Oss, who was involved in one pile-up with about 30 kilometers to go in the 169-km race, underwent a chest X-ray after the race as a precaution after complaining of pain in his ribs. Dr. Giovanni Ruffini said nothing was broken, BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Fabio Baldato said. Baldato said several factors contributed to the dangerous stage. "We went really slow because there was a headwind and a crosswind and there were only two riders in the front and a lot of control by the sprinter's team," he said. "In the final, many riders were nervous and the road was narrow and everyone wanted to be on the front. That's why it was so dangerous." Adam Blythe, in 13th place, was the BMC Racing Team's best finisher as Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma-Quick Step) took his second win of this year's race. Luca Paolini (Katusha) kept the lead as the overall standings remained relatively unchanged. Cadel Evans remained 10th overall, 42 seconds back.
