I built a 40 x 80 addition onto my existing 38' x 40' shop, the ceiling is 18' tall.
I used to have a wood stove in the existing shop that worked really well but I sold it a week ago.
I figured that I'm going to need a bigger wood furnace and I called the mechanical inspector to find out what the code is just to find out that they dont allow a wood stove in a shop where oxygen and acytelene are stored because you never know when a spark might cause the oxygen cylinder to blow up.
I said ( Do you realize that I'm a welding shop and thats what we do make sparks all day long and alot of the time we do it with the oxygen and acytelene torch ) He said
( Ya I know, You can call the state inspector and find out what he says. It turned out to be the same response )
Years ago I would have pushed the issue but because of insurance reasons its easier to do what they say. That and my new stove wont be UL Listed.
I now have to heat 4,720 sq ft with a 18' ceiling.
I bought a 550 cfm blower that kicked butt by itself but was useless when trying to push air out of two 8" ducts so I removed it and ordered a 1,400cfm blower.
I have a 2-1/2" gap on the sides and a 3" gap on the top and bottom, The air has to run back and forth 5 times before it comes out of the 2 ducts 8" diameter.
The inside fire box can take a 35" long log and is 27" wide x 26" tall now that I installed the fire brick
I'm going to start on a fire proof building to put it in tomorrow and my plans are to pack insulation between the walls of the building and the stove, I will install a furnace duct with a filter on it for the cold air return, There will be approximately a 12" gap between the 2 buildings and I will have to insulate the two 8" duct pipe.
All constructive criticism is welcome.

By now you probably have your furnace finished.
I was going to say, you need much more duct than two 8 inchers. Maybe fab a duct out of 45 gal drums, that would be the size you would need.
How about some pics of your completed furnace?

I'm an amateur for sure, but in the process of becoming a total pro ; )
Can you house the oxy/acy in a seperate shed and pipe it in to be legal? Then you're golden.
The most efficient home made wood burners seem to be designed to produce low temp wood gas in a lower chamber, then burn it at high temp with additional air input in a small upper chamber.
Or, use a wood fire boiler and a heat exchanger (like a truck radiator) to put the btu's into the building but that get's slightly more complicated but more efficient I believe.
I agree that you have too many cubic feet to heat using those small ducts. A 1000 sq ft house has ductwork that large.
4700 sq ft with 18' ceiling requires a lot of heat in low outside temps. Is the building insulated? Lot's of heat and a large air mover is what comes to my mind.
HVAC professionals with wood burning experience may have a lot better input than me : )
My last tip is: Carhartt, they make groovey arctic gear. Two pairs of good wool socks with waterproof insulated boots. good expedition weight long handles, wool glove liners under welding gloves and over surgical gloves and silk liners, neck gaiter + US GI cold weather face shield, Carhartt stocking cap, two or three Carhartt long sleeve t-shirts (one a turtleneck), sweatshirt, hoodie, insulated bibs, arctic coat. There ya go, sleep comfortably in 40 below but dexterity will suffer a bit.
Of course I only work outside, but that's my recipie for low,low temp/high, high wind.
Or, better yet make your living in the temperate months and sit in the recliner and watch "Gunsmoke" reruns during the winter, drinking coffee/Kentucky Bourban with the Lovely Bride.Some days you eat the bear. And some days the bear eats you.

shop wood stove
Sorry no pictures yet, I lost my digital camera.
The building is done other than my cranes and finished electrical and completely liner paneled paneled on the inside, The walls have R-19 insulation and they came back the other day to blow the ceiling so I have R-38 up there. The temputure is about 30 degrees F. outside and the building is at 65 degrees.
The forced air wood furnace is heating the new portion that is 40' x 80' with 18' ceiling and my original building that is 38' x 40' with a 16' ceiling and I have the furnace in the old section turned down to 55 degrees so its not comming on.
As far as the duct work size having ( 2 ) 8" ducts blowing heat into the building with a 8" x 16" cold air return ( Yes this is what you would have to heat a 2000 sq ft house normally but the difference is that it comes on and off in a house while in the shop it stays on full time. )
When I come in in the morning the thermometer reads about 56 to 58 degrees and by 3 hrs later its up to 62 to 65 F and the thermometer is on the other side of the shop from the stove.
The new stove eats alot of wood probably a face chord a week.
I'm also going to install a 150,000 BTU radiant tube heater for when it gets real cold and to maintain temputure at night or for when we are out on jobs for a week at a time to keep the shop heated to a min. of 50 degrees.

Officials said damage done Dec. 30 to the Maryland Veterans Cemetery in Cheltenham was "inadvertent."
On that day, an employee of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs inadvertently drove a backhoe over the saturated ground, moving several grave markers and damaging the lawn at the veterans cemetery, according to a news release from the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs. The cemetery is in Prince George's County.
Since the incident, officials said in the release, cemetery staff have realigned and cleaned the markers and distributed the topsoil by raking and seeding the affected areas and will continue until the area is restored.
A photo of the disturbed grounds was circulated over social network sites, and many commenters voiced opinions on the matter. Many suggested the disturbance was disrespectful to veterans.
"This is a regretful situation, and I am deeply sorry for the events, which occurred, and every effort will be made to guarantee the dignity and respect of our Cemeteries," Edward Chow, secretary of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs, stated in the news release.
George Satterthwaite of Fort Washington, a 30-year U.S. Army veteran, said he believes that the damage was an inadvertent error.
He said the cemetery has been undergoing renovations because many of the gravestones set in the ground have been sinking over the years.
He said two or three days prior to the incident there were heavy rains, and the saturated ground caused the heavy equipment to damage the lawn. Satterthwaite said there are roadways in between some of the rows, and at one point a front loader slipped off the roadway and knocked one of the grave markers.
Satterthwaite, who is the Cheltenham lead for the Wreaths Across America project, was at the cemetery about two weeks prior to the incident laying 460 wreaths as part of the program. He said he had no concerns with how the cemetery looked at the time, and he has no concerns with how the grounds are kept. He said during projects such as the one underway to repair sunken stones, any disturbance to the lawn has been repaired right away.
In this situation he feels that more than the picture that circulated social media, a lot of the anger stemmed from comments by the workers.
He said when confronted about the incident, the cemetery workers could have been more reverent.
In the release, Chow addressed how the situation is being handled.
"The Department is reviewing the incident to ensure this type of event does not occur in the future. We will continue in our charge to serve and honor our veteran community and their families. I will be personally contacting the family members of any of the markers that were moved to ensure them of the integrity of the site," he stated in the release.
The MDVA is reviewing current operating procedures and will take corrective actions to ensure best practices are in place moving forward, according to the release. Concerned family members may contact the office's Outreach Director Dana Hendrickson at 410-260-3842 for more information about the disruption or burials at Maryland's veterans cemeteries.

Interpretive Handbook
9302 :
Plasma Cell Assessment, Blood
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Plasma cell proliferative disorders are a group of hematologic neoplasms, all of which are derived from clonal plasma cells. These disorders exhibit a wide range of biologic activity ranging from monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance (MGUS), a usually indolent disorder with a low rate of disease progression, to multiple myeloma, a disease that most often is aggressive with poor long-term survival. Detecting plasma cell immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain restriction (ie, the presence of either predominately kappa or predominately lambda light chains) is an important element in assessing plasma cell clonality and, hence, establishing the diagnosis. Furthermore, a greater degree of peripheral blood involvement by these disorders is associated with more aggressive disease types and, therefore, is an adverse prognostic indicator.
Flow cytometric immunophenotyping (FCIP) is a recognized method for detecting plasma cell Ig light chain restriction. However, shortcomings of this technique, as traditionally performed, include its relative insensitivity and its consistent underestimation of the number of clonal plasma cells present. Both of these short-comings are likely attributable to limitations of the instruments and antibodies used, as well as the presence of intraclonal phenotypic heterogeneity, which created difficulties in accurately detecting and enumerating all of the clonal plasma cells. For this reason, the FCIP plasma cell clonality assessment previously performed in our laboratory was supplemented with a slide-based immunofluorescence technique.
However, recent advances in flow cytometry have led to the development of more powerful instruments and antibody reagents that allow for the use of greater antibody combinations and increased resolution of the data. With these tools, the ability of FCIP to detect and enumerate plasma cell clones has been greatly enhanced, allowing us to discontinue the supplemental, labor-intensive, slide-based plasma cell evaluation in peripheral blood specimens.
The following algorithms are available in Special Instructions:
-Laboratory Screening Tests for Suspected Multiple Myeloma
-Laboratory Approach to the Diagnosis of Amyloidosis
Also see in Publications:
-Diagnosis and Monitoring of Multiple Myeloma
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting peripheral blood involvement by plasma cell proliferative disorders
Establishing the diagnosis of and determining prognosis for plasma cell proliferative disorders
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In normal peripheral blood specimens, no clonal plasma cells are present (polytypic or too few to detect).
Plasma cells are CD38 and CD138 positive.
Normal (polyclonal, nonneoplastic) plasma cells are typically CD19-positive, whereas neoplastic (clonal) plasma cells typically are CD19-negative. CD19 expression is especially helpful in distinguishing clonal from nonclonal plasma cells when few analyzable cells are present.
CD45 may be expressed by both normal and neoplastic plasma cells. In some plasma cell proliferative disorders there are both CD45-positive and CD45-negative subsets within the clonal cell population.
The evaluation of these antigens aids in the identification of abnormal plasma cells, however, they will not be reported independently.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No significant cautionary statements
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
CD38+/CD138+ plasma cells=0.0

Outdoor Mass Gatherings
Regulations for obtaining a permit for an outdoor mass gathering in rural Marion County
What is an "outdoor mass gathering"?Marion County Ordinance #1230 allows an outdoor mass gathering of people in unincorporated areas of the County through a permit issued by the Board of Commissioners, following a public hearing.When is a permit required?An Outdoor Mass Gathering permit is required for "small gatherings" with an estimated attendance of 751–3000 persons for 6 to 120 hours within any continuous 3-month period (includes time in excess of 48 hours necessary to set up event or clean up afterward). The Board may approve a subsequent small gathering within three months of a prior small gathering on the same property. If a second small gathering is approved, no third small gathering shall be allowed within six months of the first small gathering. An Outdoor Mass Gathering permit is also required for "large gatherings" with an estimated attendance of 3001+ or more than 750 persons at any time on each of 3 calendar days that continues, or is expected to continue, for more than 120 hours (includes time in excess of 48 hours necessary to set up event or clean up afterward). A Conditional Use permit from the Planning Division for this type of event is also required. The Board may consider applications for both permits at one public hearing. Events with an estimated attendance of less than 750 persons do not require an Outdoor Mass Gathering permit from Marion County. Also, events with less than or equal to 3,000 but more than 750 persons held at wineries with valid land use permits, or conducted at state parks, are not subject to this ordinance. Events conducted on property with a valid land use permit issued for the event or events conducted on property where the event is a pre-existing nonconforming use also are not subject to this ordinance. Be advised that the County also has noise regulations, outlined in Ordinance #1273, that control noise levels, based on time-of-day, as well as permit and exlude certain types of noise. Any person planning the use of a sound producing device that may violate any provision of this ordinance may apply for a variance from these provisions. Please note Noise Variance applications must be submitted at least 35 days prior to the event.How, when and where do I apply for an outdoor mass gathering permit?You can download an Outdoor Mass Gathing Permit Application (pdf format) or obtain one from the Marion County Planning Division. This should be done as far in advance of the event as possible, but no later than 45 days prior. The application form requires information on:
Is there a fee for this permit?Yes. A large gathering is $5000 and a small gathering is $2500. Please note these fees cover only the cost of the County Outdoor Mass Gathering Permit. Other agencies involved may have permit or review fees. The Noise Variance application mentioned above has a $500 fee which is waived if it is submitted in conjunction with a Mass Gathering application.
What is the process once a permit application has been submitted? The Planning Division will schedule the mandatory public hearing before the Board of Commissioners. Planning staff will request comments from other County departments and affected agencies. The event organizer may be required to meet with County officials to discuss and clarify the application.
Planning staff will prepare a staff report and a copy is mailed to the organizer and property owner. Notice of the public hearing will be mailed not less than 20 days prior to the scheduled hearing to the organizer, property owner, and other property owners within 1500 feet. After the public hearing, the Board will issue an order denying or approving the request based on whether or not it complies with the criteria in Ordinance #1230.
What about hours of operation? When sound amplification is used, no outdoor mass gathering shall be conducted within 1,000 feet of any neighboring residence between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. If written consent from neighboring property owners and residents is submitted the Board may modify these hours.
Use of Alcohol. The sale and consumption of intoxicating liquor is allowed from a facility located on the premises of an outdoor mass gathering only if the express approval of the Oregon Liquor Control Commission has been obtained.
Who controls the event? The Organizer shall keep a reasonable count of persons and vehicles entering and leaving. If the number of persons or vehicles attending exceeds by 10% or more the number estimated in the permit application, the Sheriff's Office has the authority to require the Organizer to limit further admissions until a sufficient number of individuals or vehicles have left the site. The Sheriff's Office has the authority to order the crowd to disperse if the Organizer cannot or refuses to maintain order and compliance with conditions of the permit.
What happens after the event? The organizer is required to remove all debris or residue from the event site or adjacent property within 72 hours after the event, and remove all temporary structures within three weeks after the event. If the site is not restored to its previous condition, the County may arrange for clean up, and then file for damages against the organizer and the landowner.

The hobo, Americas last great nomad. Whether its jumping onto boxcars or strutting around city streets hobos have always been true wanderers, and what stereotypical image of a hobo would be complete without a shopping cart.
The average grocery store shopping cart is the perfect accessory for todays hobo on the go. It contains just the right amount of space for all of their possessions. The shopping cart has ample room for bottles/cans, dirty blankets (for those extra nippy nights on the streets), random treasures found while scavenging, and even enough room for relics from a broken former life; however, there comes a time in every hobos life, when they will ask, if this amazing creation called a shopping cart, is capable of more than just storage?"
Today, ladies and gentleman, I finally have an answer for them...
... allow me to present to you, the perfect modification for the perfect hobo accessory ...
The Hobobeque!
Forged from scavenged parts, in true hobo style, the Hobobeque provides a great alternative to those unfashionable 40 gallon drum fires. You'll be the most popular hobo on the street, strutting around with your new Hobobeque. You can use it to cook, provide warmth (replace those dirty old blankets, with FIRE!), or for self defense (teach that other hobo trying to move into your alley a lesson by rolling a flaming shopping cart at him, I'm sure he wont be back), yes the Hobobeque does it all!
So ladies, gentlemen, bums, tramps, and (most importantly) hobos, allow me to take you on a journey through the process of building this amazing device. Many of us will laugh a little, some of us may cry a little, and some others may even die little (does that count as a disclaimer?).
Ummm it looks good!
nice idea
The trolleys in the UK have brakes on the wheels, so i'll have to do this in the local Tesco carpark, i guess it's the perfect place really.
lovely thing
Woww.... are you selling one of those
I want that too.
I would buy one! Haha! Creative idea!
Excellent, i'll go and ask my local waitrose and see if they'll let me borrow one of their trolleys.
i love with your job
great one.
very nice work.
Nice one
nice technique.
very nice share
nice technique
loving thiss
Amazing Hobo.
Thanks to author for this useful information!
nice pics my dear friend $$$$$$$$
nice concept
this is incredible!
great wlkthrough
awesome stuff
Man the lead up was so great...only to find an "error loading file"...bummer.
There were literally hundreds of carts along the railroad rockbed, some of where were arranged into creative sculptures assumingly by urban wanderers.
These carts looked to be older models, maybe ten or more years old, discarded, lost, an urban graveyard. some were rusted but others looked to be in good shape.
I think the strip mall just kept ordering new carts instead of looking around to see the carts had been pushed down below....
Ok i'm getting to my point here. Just be adventuresome, and look for strip malls that meet this criteria- they are near and above train tracks, byways, creeks, etc. These places seem to collect abandoned urban remnants

The North American Research Partnership is an independent, non-profit networked think-tank that conducts strategic applied research and outreach on how the United States, Mexico and Canada can better position themselves for success in the 21st century. The Partnership works on a broad range of interrelated international policy topics such as border management, trade and competitiveness, energy, sustainability, security, and education. The Partnership has offices in San Diego and Phoenix and key partners located in Mexico City, Washington, D.C. and Ottawa.
Featured Project: U.S.-Mexico Border Economy in Transition
While the U.S.-Mexico border region is critical to the North American economy, much work remains on building a solid regional economy for the region's residents. The U.S.-Mexico Border Economy in Transition lays out the major issues involved in border region economic development, compiles the many innovative ideas developed at the 2014 U.S.-Mexico Regional Economic Competitiveness forums, and weaves them into a series of policy recommendations that draw on the experiences of those who understand the border best: the individuals who live in border communities and who cross back and forth between Mexico and the United States as a part of their daily lives.

Sierra Vista Herald- Bill Hess: Sharing a need for better medical services
Friday night the Sierra Vista Economic Development Foundation, the North American Research Partnership and the Mexican Consulate in Douglas, held a reception at the new medical facility, which was called "a milestone in health care," by Mignon Hollis, the executive director of SVEDF. The new medical center in Sierra Vista will provide some services formerly lacking at the older hospital, meaning people will not have to travel to Tucson or Phoenix for these medical needs. The same is true for people who live in the border area of Mexico, where in some cases they currently have to travel more than 125 miles to receive upgraded medical treatment in Hermosillo, if it is not available in their local areas.
The Arizona Republic- Editorial Board: How to boost trade with Mexico
The report, "U.S.-Mexico Border Economy in Transition," offers important insights gleaned after a series of border forums last year, including one in Rio Rico, Ariz…Arizona has "redoubled engagement with Mexico," the report says. Positive steps include opening a state trade office in Mexico City and setting a goal to double trade with Mexico by 2025. Making this happen means capitalizing on what we have done right.
Forbes- Christopher Wilson and Erik Lee: How to Boost Border Competitiveness? Just Ask the Folks There.
Thankfully, with U.S.-Mexico trade at historic highs and growing faster than trade with any other major trading partner, it is increasingly difficult to ignore the importance of safe and efficient border management to the regional economy. U.S.-Mexico trade is now valued at well over a half trillion dollars per year, 80 percent of which crosses the U.S.-Mexico land border. This trade supports around six million U.S. jobs, and systems of co-production in manufacturing allow companies to combine the comparative advantages of the United States and Mexico, boosting the competitiveness of North America as a whole.

Chalet Christophorus proved hugely popular with its guests, not least for its rarity value – at the time of going to press, this is still the one and only catered chalet for adult guests in the whole of this superb resort!
Set in a quiet cul-de-sac off the main street, within easy walking distance of the village centre, and right on the slopes at the foot of the imaginatively named No 6 Blue run, the Christophorus is one of the best located chalets in the Alps! For added convenience, the beginners ski area is just behind the chalet and the ski-school meeting-point, a mere 50m away.
Just 30m from the ski-room door, you can put your skis on and ski down to the main Festkogl gondola, and then ski back right to the chalet at the end of the day. Or, if you wanted to start from the village centre, the regular free ski-bus stops just 50m from the chalet. The bedrooms are all well appointed, comfortable and attractively styled, most with their own private en suite bath and separate wc, and several with balcony or terrace.
The dining-room on the first floor is traditionally styled with light wooden fixtures, and there is a traditional Tyrolean tiled stove to add ambience and warmth to your chalet dining experience. A small separate lounge offers a quiet spot to read or chat over the day's skiing, and the sauna and relaxation area are an added bonus for unwinding after a busy ski day. Approximate Transfer time to resort: 1 hour 45 minutes

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health's Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff's one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Afternoon Tea
The traditional 'welcome home' after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff's one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.
Children's High Tea
In Chalets and Chalet Hotels with family guests, High Tea provides children under 13 years with a healthy menu, tailored more towards children's tastes and puréed food is available for infants on request. High Tea is at 5.30pm, and children do not join the main adult-only dinner.
Dinner in Chalets
A tasty and innovative, freshly cooked dinner will be prepared for you six nights per week by your Chalet Host – or by an experienced and professional chef in our larger chalets – and served with a choice of wines. Our four-course adult-only chalet dinners start with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and completed by coffee with chocolates to round off your evening. Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service, and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

One of the highest ski resorts in the Alps, with guaranteed skiing virtually year round, Tignes can justifiably boast a fantastic snow record that is the envy of many resorts worldwide.Tignes skiing area is part of the vast Espace Killy ski area, with over 300kms of varied terrain, linked to the neighbouring resort of Val D'Isere. Tignes is great for all abilities, this really is a resort with something for everyone.
Tignes consists of 5 different areas, all of which have access to the Tignes skiing area, but will offer a different experience during a Tignes skiing holiday. Tignes le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac and Val Claret make up the three main stations of Tignes with Les Brevieres and Les Boisses a little lower down the valley.

Fantastic resort all round. Great snow even when the rest of Europe was struggling. Good green and blue runs inc... read full
The skiing in Tignes is simply vast, and with several free lifts for beginners helping the excellent local ski and snowboard schools, (particularly Evolution 2 receiving glowing reports), progression is normally quick for first timers on a Tignes skiing holiday. There are huge long sweeping runs up on the Grand Motte glacier which should be the goal for the end of the beginner's first week skiing in Tignes. For intermediates there is a good percentage of difficult blues and reds, which are more than enough to keep even an ambitious intermediate challenged for during their Tignes skiing holiday. The trip down to Les Brevieres can be particularly enjoyable, with nice restaurants awaiting you at the bottom. Advanced skiers come back year after year to try the vast array of black pistes and endless off-piste challenges skiing in Tignes has to offer. Try Mickey's Ears, the Fingers or the Lavachet Wall for real spine tingling vertical drops.
From family ski holidays to group ski holidays, our Tignes apartments will accommodate you in any way you require. Not to mention the fantastic locations and cheap prices, they'll finish off your stay perfectly.
Tignes ski chalets are the ideal way to enjoy ski holidays in Tignes and with Igluski's vast selection of Tignes chalets we have something to suit everyone.

"A quick and easy banana pudding recipe - enjoy!"

1 (8 ounce) package
cream cheese
1 (14 ounce) can
sweetened condensed milk
1 (5 ounce) package
instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups
cold milk
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 (8 ounce) container
frozen whipped topping, thawed
bananas, sliced
1/2 (12 ounce) package
vanilla wafers
This is the same recipe that my mother has made for years, and it is often said that it was this pudding that helped her snag her husband. I have noticed a few problems people have been having with the recipe, and as usual it is not problems really with the recipe, but with the person/and or technique used while making it. (Don't mean to sound harsh.) First off, we always use skim milk in the recipe, and have never had a any problems. Secondly, NEVER use banana pudding to make this. Though I'm sure it would taste ok, it just isn't like the old fashioned stuff, and if you use the banana flavored pudding you always will have that fake banana flavoring floating around in it...YUCK. Third, one 5 oz. package is plenty to make this pudding thick. Just make sure to use ice cold milk when mixing it.
Fourth, when creaming the cream cheese. It must be at room temperature before you can cream it or add the other ingredients to it, otherwise, you will get a lumpy mess. It is very important to cream it well with the sweetened condensed milk, because the air incorperated into this adds body and thickness to the overall dish. Finally, the dish that the recipe says to display the pudding in is merely a suggestion. This isn't a baked recipe, so it won't matter at all what type of dish you use. I prefer a large decorative glass bowl, and that way it can add a little more style to the whole dinner just by looking at it, and after that first bite, none of your guests/family/friends will
My cream cheese was at room temperature. I followed the recipe. The only thing I did differently was put in half the condensed milk (which a lot of people suggested in order to make it less sweet)... and it turned into a soup that never thickened. What did I do wrong?
2668 Ratings
Instead of the one larger box of instant vanilla pudding, I used one small box of instant vanilla pudding and one small box of instant banana cream pudding. I also replaced half the milk with heavy cream and used a tub of the extra creamy Cool Whip instead of the regular Cool Whip. Also, instead of the whole can of sweetened condensed milk, I used less than half because I didn't want it to be too sweet. I also crumbled some Nilla wafers on the top for a better presentation. I also used a smaller pan (I used a deeper, square casserole dish) and layered it in two layers instead of just one. I also put the sliced bananas in some diluted lemon juice to prevent browning. It is absolutely delicious and looks very appetizing!
I just have one comment. People who give reviews and have changed the recipe are not helpful at all. For once, I would like to see reviews based on exactly how the recipe is written.
I took this to a party, and everyone loved it. I did make a few changes - I used Pepperidge Farm Chessmen cookies in place of the Nilla wafers. I used only 2 cups milk to mix into the instant pudding. I beat the pudding & milk with a mixer, then beat the cream cheese with the condensed milk separately, stirred the cool whip into the cheese mixture, and added that to the instant pudding. I used 8 bananas to make the 13 x 9 panful. The pudding set up perfectly and cut like a dream - no running or soupiness. The bananas did darken after we cut into it, but they tasted just as good the second day. This will serve a TON of people. This is my new favorite pudding recipe!
I have been making this recipe for over two years for family and large parties and have NEVER had any leftovers. People get upset if I don't bring this with me! I use 1-3.4oz. pkg of French Vanilla Instant pudding mix, and 1/2 of a 3.4oz. pkg of Banana Instant pudding mix, only 1/2 of the can of condensed milk to keep it from being overly sweet. I do also use more bananas, about six cover the bottom of a 9X13 pan. Everything else is the same. Yes, the cream cheese definately needs to be room temperature. EVERYONE who has tried this has loved it, asked for the recipe, and always wants me to bring it to their get-together. It is not like the original on-the-stove banana pudding which is very rich, this is a much lighter version and for the thousands that I have fed, much more preferred.
YUM! I too followed the advise to use 3.5 oz size banana cream and a 3.5 oz size vanilla pudding instead of the 5 oz vanilla box. I reduced the condensed milk to 1/2 a can and it was still rich but delicious!! :)~
I put mine in a round bowl (IE small punch bowl, decorative bowl) and ended up with two layers. I used a whole 12 oz box of vanilla wafers. I sprinkled lemon juice on the bananas to keep them from browning. Next time I would suggest trying Fruit Fresh or something of the like.
MY suggestion is this....if you aren't making this for a large family/gathering and don't think you will have gobbled it up in about two days, then don't add the sliced bananas to the dessert.
Try slicing a banana and serving it on top or bottom of the bowl as you serve it. This will keep the bananas from turning brown and the dessert will last longer in your refrigerator.
Good Dessert!
This was fabulous! I read through ALL the reviews, made a couple of recommended changes, and now have the best recipe for banana pudding that we've ever had. I used l 3.4-oz box of instand banana pudding and 1 3.4-oz box of French vanilla pudding. I cut the milk from 3 cups to 2 cups. Otherwise, it was the same as the recipe. Also, I topped it with crushed Nilla Wafers right before I served it. There were 10 of us at dinner, and it was gobbled up very quickly. Everyone LOVED it and wanted the recipe!

American Muslims struggle with mental health issues
By Roqaya Eshmawi, Staff Writer, Southern California InFocus
When she was 10 years old, Mejgan lost her father in the war in Afghanistan. "I tried to cope the way I thought I should," she says. "I grew up overnight." Her father's cousin, who had also been imprisoned, relayed to her the suffering prisoners had endured.
"Having their teeth pulled out, and having their nails pulled out, and having their genitals chopped off … I don't want to imagine that's what happened to my dad," she says.
Mejgan lives with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
There have been times when Jennifer* has thought about suicide.
"I would take the car key, tell my husband to watch the kids and that if anything happens to me, to give them to their dad, and I would go for a ride with the intention of committing suicide," says the mother of two.
What stopped her was her faith in Allah. "Allah, please help me. Please. I'm making the intention to please you and do everything right for you. Please give me serenity, make it easy for me," she would pray.
"If I didn't have Islam, if I didn't have Allah to turn to, I know I would've committed suicide," she says.
Jennifer lives with bipolar disorder.
Moiz* would sometimes go for days without talking to his friends if he was upset with them.
"The anger would be inside of me, and it would continue to build, and then it got to a point where I would say something stupid or obscene to that person," he says.
Moiz also lives with bipolar disorder.
When Marwa* had decided she was going to see a therapist without telling her family, she wasn't quite sure she was making the right decision.
"She's so indecisive. She always second-guesses herself," she heard voices saying inside her head.
Marwa lives with bipolar disorder and anxiety.
Mejgan, Jennifer, Moiz and Marwa are part of the Muslim society experts say is experiencing a rise in mental health issues.
"During the past decade, there has been a rapid rise of emotional and behavioral problems in the American Muslim community - high rate of divorce, dysfunctional families, mental health problems, domestic violence, drug addiction and intergenerational conflicts," says Dr. Abdul Basit, a former professor of psychiatry and editor-in-chief of the Journal of Muslim Mental Health.
Defining mental health
Psychology experts say an individual is mentally healthy when he or she is living with the absence of a mental disorder.
To be diagnosed as having a mental disorder, an individual must meet two conditions, says Dr. Enas Elshwick, a licensed psychologist and marriage and family therapist living in California.
"The symptoms must significantly impair social or occupational functioning, in addition to meeting criteria specific to the disorder," she says.
The guidelines generally used to define mental disorders are symptoms of unusual or bizarre behavior; disorganized and confused speech; and hallucinations or delusions, Abdul Basit says.
"Other types of mental disorders may have symptoms of emotional distress, like phobia, excessive and persistent anxiety, or depression," he says.
While some mental disorders are universally recognized, others are culture specific.
"Experts find it difficult to define normal behavior, simply because, in some cases, sociocultural factors may determine whether a behavior will be considered normal or abnormal," Abdul Basit says.
Living with a mental disorder
Mejgan is a project manager for a training and development company.
She decided to start therapy after experiencing several panic attacks during which she couldn't breathe.
"I tried to hold it during work hours," she says. "The minute I would get home, I would start crying, and I couldn't stop crying. I would roll up in a ball and cry."
So she started seeing a therapist. At first, she says, she was adamant against taking medication. "But my doctor convinced me. She said it was a chemical imbalance."
Mejgan has been in therapy for almost three years, and she used medication for one year.
"If you have issues, walk through them," she suggests. "Go through the pain - honor your emotions rather than pushing them aside and saying 'it's OK.' It's never OK when something bad happens."
Moiz, who works for a nonprofit organization, was diagnosed with bipolar disorder while working for a summer program at his university.
As a student counselor for the program, he was required to meet with psychiatrists for consultations.
"It started with me describing some of the things I was going through at that point - I was having issues with people I was around, other Muslims, people I was living with," he says.
Moiz says he would go from feeling happy to feeling distraught and upset with others around him.
"I felt like there were moments where I was totally surrounded by people, but I felt, a lot of times, that I didn't connect with people. I was just there in the middle of everything, but I had feelings of loneliness and sadness," he says.
That led to feelings of guilt, he says. "I should be happy. Why am I not happy? Why do I feel so isolated and depressed?"
Moiz was also having a difficult time with his university studies; he was having a hard time with his classes and he had just changed his premed major to undeclared.
"My parents weren't happy with me," he says. "There was that whole idea of not being good enough."
Moiz says that while therapy has helped him, faith was the one constant in his life during his difficult times.
"I could sit and forget everything I was going through during that one calm period during a very turbulent time," he says of prayer.
"That moment where you connect with Allah, I found a moment of peace and calm," he says. "And that connection helped me strengthen myself and take myself out of the situation I was in."
Islam recognizes mental health as an important aspect of a person's life, says Imam Safwat Morsi of San Francisco.
"If applied, many Islamic principles would prevent the onset of mental health disorders," he says.
Marwa, a graduate student, had a stressful childhood and hadn't sought counseling for what she had been through.
"We had a lot of physical and verbal abuse by my parents," she says of herself and her siblings.
When she started hearing voices and told her parents, they told her not to tell anyone about her symptoms.
So, for three weeks, she endured the voices. "Most of these voices were mocking me," she says. "But a few times, they were praising me, and I would feel like I'm on top of the world."
When she visited a mental institution, she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and anxiety, and she was given medication.
She is now continuing therapy while on medication, and says her situation has improved.
"I learned to accept it," she says of her past. "My parents do a lot for me. They changed after we got older. I've learned to move on and not be the victim, to stop blaming them."
Stigmatized by their own
Abdul Basit says that while mainstream American society has made tremendous strides in accepting mental illness during the past three decades, American Muslims have failed to recognize the magnitude of the mental health problem.
He attributes this partly to the shame and guilt associated with it and partly because American Muslims are not aware of the resources available to deal with these issues.
"Many Muslims adopt an ostrich policy. They tend to deny the existence of mental health problems in the American Muslim community," he says.
They often write off mental illnesses as problems typical of mainstream American society and not issues they should worry about, he adds.
Living with bipolar disorder, Jennifer was often told by her husband that her illness was because she was 'raised in America' and that she should ask Allah to help her deal with it.
"But it's not only Americans who can be bipolar," she says. "That's something that's really important for me to get across."
Morsi says that while a strong relationship with Allah can help an individual cope with any type of issue, whether physical or mental - Islam does not prohibit an individual from seeking therapy.
"A relationship with Allah is important because it increases a person's physical and mental immunity and allows them to heal faster," he says, adding that it's also important for an individual to engage in therapy and be able to talk about their issues.
For Moiz, he internalized his experience and didn't share it with many people because of the social stigma attached to mental illness.
"I don't think the Muslim community actually realizes this is something that exists," he says.
A few of his close friends know his diagnosis, but many others only knew he was going through a difficult time.
"If you're a guy, it's harder to tell another friend of yours, 'Hey, this is what I'm going through,'" he says.
He has recently begun to share some of his experiences with his family – but not everything, he says. "I don't feel they would be ready to have a full-blown conversation yet."
Rabia*, who lives with anxiety, depression and social phobia, says she feels Muslims should be more sympathetic and educated about mental illness.
"I've been scoffed at, ridiculed and generally been looked down upon as a moron for feeling the way I do," she says. "Some people have gone so far as to doubt my iman and aqeedah as a Muslim."
Rabia describes her illness as feeling a loss of control over her mind and body. "It's like you're a prisoner of your own mind – you're the jailer and the prisoner all at the same time."
Jennifer says individuals living with mental illnesses don't want to be pitied or regarded as different.
"This, to me, is my cancer," she says. "This is my sickness, my disease that Allah gave me to deal with."
Resources for mental health
Elshwick says it's important for individuals thinking about seeking therapy to know that therapists are bound by law and ethics to keep their clients' information confidential.
She suggests individuals seek therapists of their same faith and culture or explain their own to the therapist. "It helps if the therapist understands where you're coming from and what your thought processes are," she says.

Typhus is a bacterial disease spread by lice or fleas.
Murine typhus; Epidemic typhus; Endemic typhus; Brill-Zinsser disease; Jail fever
Typhus is caused by one of two types of bacteria: Rickettsia typhi or Rickettsia prowazekii.
Rickettsia typhi causes murine or endemic typhus.
Rickettsia prowazekii causes epidemic typhus. It is spread by lice. Brill-Zinsser disease is a mild form of epidemic typhus. It occurs when the bacteria re-activates in a person who was previously infected. It is more common in the elderly.
Symptoms of murine or endemic typhus may include:
Symptoms of epidemic typhus may include:
The early rash is a light rose color and fades when you press on it. Later, the rash becomes dull and red and does not fade. People with severe typhus may also develop small areas of bleeding into the skin (petechiae).
A complete blood count (CBC) may show a low white blood cell count, anemia, and low platelets. Other blood tests for typhus may show:
Treatment includes antibiotics such as:
Tetracycline taken by mouth can permanently stain teeth that are still forming. It is usually not prescribed for children until after all of their permanent teeth have grown in.
Patients with epidemic typhus may need intravenous fluids and oxygen.
Without treatment, death may occur in 10 - 60% of patients with epidemic typhus. Patients over age 60 have the highest risk of death. Patients who receive treatment quickly should completely recover.
Less than 2% of untreated patients with murine typhus may die. Prompt antibiotic treatment will cure nearly all patients.
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of typhus. This serious disorder can require emergency care.
Avoid areas where you might encounter rat fleas or lice. Good sanitation and public health measures reduce the rat population.
Measures to get rid of lice when an infection has been found include:

Appreciate the insight.He absolutely is. One of the main differences between the SEC and the Pac-12 is where they tend to put their best athletes. SEC coaches like to try 'em on defense first in a lot of cases, then move to the offensive side of the ball if it's not a fit. It's the opposite in the Pac-12.
The fact that this kid wasted away for 2 years at the RB position due to Neuheisel trying to fit a square peg in a round hole is inexplicable. I don't know of any top notch SEC coach that wouldn't have had Barr playing linebacker from the moment he stepped on campus. A 6'4", 235 pound athlete like that is going straight from the parking lot to defense around here. Jim Mora being a defensive coach by trade, didn't take long to figure it out.
Neuheisel is just a terrible coach, and even more clueless when it comes to college football. I figured that out watching him try to force feed that pistol offense when he didn't have the personnel to run it. Now that he's fired and out of a job, we get to listen to him on the radio whine about the SEC and listen to all of his pro-Pac-12 propaganda.
Same for Keenan Allen who was a Bama commit all the way up to the last minute. He was being recruited as a safety to Bama. He had a handler Saban refused to deal with. We tend to turn down every player who has a handler or demands a "twofer".
Which is why Tedford just got fired at Cal. He let Keenan Allen strap him with an abomination at the QB position as part of the Allen package deal. Matter of fact, the word I hear from one of the parents of a Cal player is that Allen refused to workout, made it known in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't play with any other quarterback besides Maynard, and generally did whatever he wanted.
I doubt any of that will ever make it to the pen of a journalist or sportswriter... or draftnik.. but it's something that's likely to affect the way teams view Allen and his ability to be coached when they begin their due diligence into what type of kid he is.

Simple set up with Bluetooth. Forward-looking design and colour choices. Pros: Space saver without compromising quality of sound, ease of set up. Attractive design. Cons: Nothing. Was this review helpful? Yes No PAL BT Written By Seth, Wichita, KS on Wednesday, June 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a good portable radio. Reception is excellent, both am and fm. The sound is very full and the bass surprisingly low for such a small unit. It can get loud without distortion. The battery lasts for hours just as the manufacturer claims. I can take it to and from work and still get good reception wherever I'm listening. My only nitpick would be the blue tooth connection. I have had to turn the knob from off to BT a couple of times to get it to connect to an iphone. This is not a huge deal just takes a little extra time. When connected the sound is better than other wireless bluetooth speakers I have heard. It's a little pricey but well built. Pros: Good sound, good battery life. Crutchfield always ships quality products. Cons: The bluetooth can be a little finicky. Was this review helpful? Yes No Major Dissapointment Written By Anonymous, LI, NY on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 Purchased the PAL Bt in the fall when I had my iPhone 5. Unit worked great. As soon as I switched to the iPhone 5S it has been a disaster. It stopped linking. Called Tivoli and they said Apple made changes and they could not guarantee that it would ever work like it did with my old phone. They said they could only "improve" the performance if I shipped it back to them which I did. After receiving it the radio still will not auto connect. When I manually connect it may work on the first try, sometimes the fourth try, and sometimes not at all! Tivoli's excuse I mean solution is for me ship it back again! Really how many iterations is fair on an expensive radio before the best solution is to chalk it up as a new paperweight and move on. Needless to say given my experience, and it may just be my unit, and the fact that there are so many other exceptional vendors this will be my first and last Tivoli product. Oh and the new undocumented feature is the battery now lasts for less than 1 minute. Can't wait to call Tivoli about that. Pros: Nice Design. Cons: Not designed/engineered to be technically relevant over time. Was this review helpful? Yes No PAL (BT) Written By Rick, Gaithersburg, MD on Sunday, December 29, 2013 love it! Was this review helpful? Yes No TIvoli BT Pal Written By J., Williamsburg Va on Tuesday, December 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Tivoli Audio PAL BT is everything you want it to be -- easy to use, clear, deep sound (for all kinds of music: Christmas, Classical, Rock, and Pop). Played off an iphone seconds after opening it for Christmas with no fuss. Plays sound from youtube videos and netflix streamed films. Works from distance; perfect indoors and out. Get it in a bright color -- it deserves to be recognized (it's about the size of your hand). Pros: Sound, simplicity, size. Cons: Price -- $50 less would be great. But, you forget the price five seconds after you hear it. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Hands-on research What's in the box? | In-depth notes What's in the box? Download owner's manual Portable AM/FM radio (with telescoping FM antenna) AC power supply (with attached 6' DC cord) Quick Start Guide Product Registration Card Charging/Cleaning note Product Research Features Water-Resistant Cabinet: The Tivoli Audio PAL BT's exterior coating is designed to be water resistant and provides a non-slip grip, so you can listen to it outside with no worries. The PAL BT is weather resistant, but it is not weather proof. It should not be immersed in water or held under running water. It also should not be exposed to extreme temperatures. Full-Range Mono Driver: The Tivoli Audio PAL features a single 2.5" treated, long-throw, full-range driver and acoustic suspension (sealed) cabinet for great sound. Henry Kloss Analog AM/FM Tuner w/ 5:1 Analog Tuning Dial: The Tivoli Audio PAL BT is equipped with a Henry Kloss analog AM/FM tuner for precise radio station tuning. The FM tuner's Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) locks on to the center of the station for the lowest distortion and best reception. The result is better reception with increased clarity on closely-spaced local and far-away stations. To take full advantage of the AM/FM tuner's high sensitivity and selectivity, the PAL uses a precise analog tuning system with a geared-down 5:1 ratio analog tuning dial for accurate, easy selection of the maximum number of stations. The 5:1 tuning gear ratio provides easy, accurate tuning. When listening to FM, adjust the radio's telescoping FM antenna and position it for the best reception. The telescoping antenna extends from 4.875" to 21.75". When listening to AM, rotate the PAL itself to align the internal AM antenna for improved reception. Built-in Bluetooth (A2DP): The Tivoli Audio PAL BT offers built-in Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR technology with advanced A2DP profile for high-quality wireless audio streaming from your Bluetooth-enabled device; such as your Apple iPod/iPhone/iPad, Android smartphone/tablet, Blackberry, laptop, or other device. The PAL BT also incorporates Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) which result in low-to-no noise interference with other wireless devices. You will continue to control playback of your Bluetooth connected device from the device, itself (not the PAL BT). You can pair up to 8 Bluetooth-enabled devices, but only one can be used at a time. Notes: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology, some Bluetooth enabled devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not support all features when used with the PAL BT. Audio Connections: The PAL BT is equipped with a rear-panel auxiliary input and headphone output. Auxiliary Input: The unit features a 3.5mm auxiliary input for connecting an external device (such as your CD player or MP3 player), so you can listen to audio from the connected device through the PAL BT's mono speaker. Headphone Output: The radio is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone output for connecting a set of stereo headphones for private listening. Connecting headphones will mute the PAL BT's mono speaker. Source Knob: The PAL BT is equipped with a 3-position source knob - AM, FM, Aux/BT, and Off. Volume Knob: The Tivoli Audio PAL BT features a rotary volume control knob which operates the volume level for the unit's mono speaker and headphone output. Rechargeable Battery-Pack: The Tivoli Audio PAL BT is equipped with a built-in rechargeable NiMH battery-pack which delivers up to 16 hours of playback time. The included AC power adapter charges the radio's battery, as well as provides a power source. The unit offers two charging modes based on whether the unit is turned 'On' or 'Off'. Fast Charge: With the PAL BT turned 'Off', but plugged in (from full discharge), the battery-pack will be completely charged within approximately 3.5 hours. Trickle Charge: With the PAL BT 'On' and plugged in (form full discharge), the battery-pack will be completely charged in approximately 24 hours. Front-Panel LED: The front-panel green LED serves both as a power indicator, as well as battery power and charge status indicator. The unit's front-panel LED will blink rapidly to indicate the batteries are in need of being recharged. The remaining playback time from the moment the blinking begins until the PAL BT shuts-off is estimated between 20 minutes and several hours.
