Steamed Shrimp Dumpling: aka Har Gow ( 蝦餃 ) - A list of Hong Kong's Finer Ones.
When ever the topic of Cantonese Dim Sum is being discussed, Har Gow, the quintessential of all Dim Sum dishes, almost always come to the fore front of discussions.
The ONE dish that the skill of Dim Sum chef is judged, this easily replicated dish is one tough cookie to perfect!
In my book, the perfect morsel should have thin, translucent and malleable wrapper skin that is taut, slightly chewy and strong enough not to break when picked up with chop sticks. It should also not stick to the paper or steamer surface. This calls for the correct ratio of water, wheat and tapioca starch mixture! ( An art that I found no North American Chinese Restaurants manage to master ). On top, the wrapper should have at least 11 to 13 pleats. This is a reflection of the skill and devotion of the Dim Sum chef.
Filling should use the freshest of shrimps, preferably whole Gei Wai Ha 基圍蝦 ( Sand Prawns ) with minced Bamboo Shoots and perfectly seasoned with rice wine, white pepper and premium top soya to bring out and not mask the fresh umami flavor of the shrimps. Product should be crunchy, juicy and not overcooked.
The following is a list of this hard to perfect dish from some of Hong Kong's better and reputable establishments. IMHO, they all range from more than passable to near perfection. Unfortunately, photos of four of my favorites: Celestial Court, Yung Kee Club Level, Lung King Heen and Fook Lam Moon were missing from my data bank.
- Fu Sing
- Sun Tung Lok
- Tim Ho Wan
- Yan Toh Heen
- One Dim Sum
- Sha Tin 18
- House of Canton
- Fan Tang
- Hong Kong Cuisine (1983 )
- Guo Fu Lou
- Ming Court
- V Cuisine
- Above & Beyond
- Luk Yue
- Lei Garden
I would rate the near perfect top tier candidates to comprise of Fook Lam Moon, Yung Kee Club Level, Ming Court and Above and Beyond. Second tier candidates include Sun Tung Lok, Tim Ho Wan, Guo Fu Lou, Lei Garden, Hong Kong Cuisine, Yan Toh Heen, Fan Tang, and Sha Tin 18. The rest, though not as good as the afore-mentioned elite ones, still manage to beat all the ones I have eaten in San Fran., New York, Toronto and Vancouver...etc HANDS DOWN!!!
Absolutely beautiful. Andy Warhol could not have done something this delightful! Thanks!
One criteria that I have to agree with Ah So on, is that ha gow should also be "one bite" 一口一件. Some of the abominations I've had in California, restaurants try to do value ha gow and stuff a large amount of shrimp inside but not golf ball sized horrendous, with inconsistent amount of pork fat. The worst was a shrimp paste ball inside and I've had ones where it was chopped up shrimp (no juice).
From what I've read, Guo Fu Lou puts egg into the shrimp filling for ha gow.
Ever try Cuisine Cuisine's "oyako" ha gow? Mother and child? 芥末子母蝦餃
re: K K
True! True!!
The biggest I've tasted was in Vancouver. 'Almost' the size of a 'base ball'!! If not the Har Gow, then at least the 'Beef Ball'
Ref: Dim Sum chefs of Guo Gu Lou and Fook Lam Moon came from the same stable. Use egg white as 'binding agent'??!!
Of the better ones left, haven't been to Celebrity Cuisine, Cuisine Cuisine, Tin Lung Heen or Tim's Kitchen.... for Dim Sum. Just too much choices for a relatively short trip. Also, have to take care about not ingesting too much glutenous or fried products, usually associated with 'Yum Cha'!!
re: K K
This 'Crispy Har Gow' from Star of Canton is pretty good too!
Charles, did some of the HK establishments in your collage above serve a portion of 3 dumplings (instead of the traditional 4s in the case of har-gow and siu-mai), or did you just take the photos *after* someone had taken a piece?
As you'd noticed previously, most dim sum spots in Kuala Lumpur served har-gow in 3s these days - a break in tradition, but also (strangely) consistent with the Cantonese aversion towards the number '4'.
BTW, a documentary I saw some time ago showed the kitchens of Lei Garden where the shrimps for the filling were marinated in chicken stock beforehand.
The chef's skill in making the thin har-gow wrapper was breathtaking. He knead out a small portion of the dough and, with a quick stroke using the flat side of his cleaver, flattened the dough into a wafer-thin, almost translucent disc on the kneading board. He then expertly peeled off that dough with his swish of the knife blade, filled it with the shrimp filling, pleated it, then set it on a steamer basket.
The camera then pulls back to show row upon row of har-gow - Lei Garden produces its dim sum dumplings centrally each morning, before shipping them out to its various branches.
re: klyeoh
Hi klyeoh! I knew you would ask this 3 vs 4 questions!!! Ha!
At Hong Kong Cuisine (1983), they offered us 3 because there were 3 of us and the Har Gow was part of a Dim Sum sampler
I believe Luk Yue has only 3 morsels per steamer.
Ming Court actually offered 5, with a smaller center one
For food historian buffs, it's also worth noting that ha gow has a shorter history than traditional tea houses (which started in Guangzhou sometime in the 1800s), where it is said ha gow was invented by a certain tea house in Shuzugang 漱珠崗's nearby Wufeng village 五鳳村 in the 1920s / 1930s, where they were situated near a river with plentiful access to freshwater shrimp, and thus the inspiration to create something based on this readily available supply of local ingredient. (As a side note, chicken feet and pork spareribs didn't show up until 1950s or 1960s apparently as restaurants tried to add more menu items using lower cost ingredients. )
Back in 2007 when Maxim's City Hall was somewhat popular with celebs and HK food media writers, the chefs, it is said, would first marinate shrimp filling with cornstarch and sugar for an hour, then rinse continously with cold water. Then seasoned with salt and pepper (to draw out additional moisture content), followed by more cornstarch and sugar, add sesame oil, then refrigerate so the filling binds (vs Guo Fu Lou's use of egg mixture 蛋漿, I suppose). All these steps per those chefs, reate the ha gow filling's texture that you describe...crunchy with juices.
re: K K
Nowadays, fresh water, 'River Shrimp' is becoming a very priced commodity. Shanghainese restaurants, known to just plainly stirred fry them in oil, has seen their prices gone up and portion sizes gone down!!
I agree, in a perfect scenario, fresh water 'river shrimp' for Har Gow should be used, However, doubt a lot of people can afford them as their regular daily 'Yum Cha' stable?!
This is awesome. Everything you say about your criteria for a good hargow is what I always hope for. I've had great hargows in so many places in HKG, but I have a hard time distinguishing elite ones from good ones in HKG because most places are so much better than the ones here in America.
My best North American hargow experience was at Toronto Airport Doubletree Hotel ~5years ago. I had hargow there just after returning from HKG and swore it was just as good as some of the places we went in HKG.
re: Lau
Thank you for your kind words, Lau!!
BTW, FYI, I had a ' Giant Lobster 5 ways' chowmeet in Toronto with a now NYC chowhound 'Deanna', a few days back. We were talking about fellow NYC chowhounders like Kathryn and yourself and we were hoping that one day we can all have a chowmeet either here in Toronto or down in the Big Apple!
re: Charles Yu
you know i've actually been thinking about going up there at some point soon to "go see toronto and my friends in toronto" but really to just go eat some good chinese food without having to get on a really long flight haha. i may make it happen soon and i'll def email you when i do! i'd love to go eat with you and i'll def be asking you for recs

I posted this a while back on the Hobart forum so you may have seen it. I have not received any responses...
Does anyone have a chart handy to translate MWSCO numbers to what they really are? For example I recall that their 101 gas is actually C25 (25% CO2. 75% Argon) and 105 is I think C8. I have (had) a chart but cannot find it at the moment. My account is with Airgas so I do not have a contact at MWSC. The MWSC web site provides no information.
I have emailed MWSC but have yet to hear from them.

For me planning an affordable birthday party means not buying store decorations. By that I mean no theme parties where everything matches. Try decorating with lots of balloons.. taped to the ceiling... no helium needed. try using colored pencils, crayons, paints, and markers as color... How about printing off theme decorations and coloring them? Kids don't really need goodie bags but if u insist just put pencils, bouncy balls, or candy in it.. things you can buy in bulk at a novelty store for super cheap. or make a snack and wrap it up.
What are your tips for planning an affordable birthday party?
I am working on a party right now for my twins and littlest one...our last double party...they are only 2 weeks apart. So my tips
1. Start early- check those clearance bins...target clearance for valentines in coming up for me so...red would be a good color for plates or just be creative with what you find. We r making monster eyes with marshmallows and making their cake. I shop groupon. Or any daily deal site for catering deals...just check the expiration. Have a party at the park or your house, no one cares as long as the kids have fun.
2.Balloons are cheap and easy as well as making your own fun serving platters and spray painting them to match your theme. Pinterest is a great site for ideas.
I love blog posts on their parties as well.
Kids appreciate the simple things. They don't know the difference between a goody bag stuffers picked out from the dollar store than one you got at Neiman Marcus. Don't go overboard trying to impress the Jones', and remember the party is really for your little ones, not the adults.
Use primary colors for the majority of your party's decorations. They're generally less expensive than themed decorations and you can reuse items like tablecloths and extra plates, forks and spoons next year or for another party. Sprinkle just a few choice themed decorations about to make each birthday party original and special.
Well you can organize a nice birthday party in budget at your home. You just have to do some preparations like decorating your room with fresh flowers, lightings and balloons. No need to bring dinner from restaurants; keep servants to make good dinner of your choice that will save lots of your money.
Properly decorate a dining with attractive plates, bowls, glass, napkins etc. If you don't have that then you can buy them from http://www.thelatable.com/gallery/ at very affordable price. If possible avoid alcohol and instead of that keep only good soft drinks.
Nice advice!!!!!!!
Last year I did a Hannah Montana Rock Star Makeover party and it was a hit. I created the "tickets" on my computer and each gorl was instructed to produce her ticket to "security" (my husband in a black tshirt and shades) to get her back stage pass, again created on my computer. The favors were baubles from the walmart party bins, my nieces volunteered to do hair and makeup and we borrowed a karoake machine. I baked the cake myself in the shape of a guitar and the favor was a CD of my duaghters favorite songs (hannah, of course!) for each girl. Great fun and because I already had most of the stuff I needed, very inexpensive. The trick is to use what you have, shop dollar (or less) bins, make your own food, borrow from friends and think outside the box.
baking things that go far but don't cost very much like Meringues which require 2 eggs and 100grams of sugar to make roughly 12 - 15 meringues. or jelly/jello - you can use fresh fruit juice and gelatine place in molds and they looks super cute. fresh fruit chopped up on kebab sticks. plating games instead of hiring entertainment! pass the parcel, scavenger hunt, dunking for apples etc... also do party packs made out of things you have - like recycling jars or containers that you can collect over a few weeks or months before the party then paint them or cover in scrap book paper or fabric. fill with a few sweets and a thank you :)
pick a theme where you don't have to buy branded merchandise... like mickey mouse or hello kitty. maybe rather pick a country (eg chinese) or a general theme like a rainbow party.
My family and I try to live an eco friendly lifestyle so it's not often that I buy paper products and tablecloths. I have a collection of thrifted table cloths that I use for various occasions and I tend to use white for my boys' parties. I try and make as much by hand as I can. Definitely get on the computer and do some research!! There are some great tips our there for crafting your own decorations on a low budget. I try to bake the cake or cupcakes myself so it cuts back on cost and I don't go overboard when sending out my invites. Even if you have a budget you can still be creative, get crafty and have fun!
You can check out my link below and see some of the decorations I made for my daughters 1st Birthday!
I always shop for solid colored tablecloths, plates, utensils etc. at the dollar store.
Hanging balloons have become one of my favorite + inexpensive ways to decorate. You can see them in my baby shower post.
There are many online retailers that sell things much cheaper than in stores now. My daughter recently had a birthday party and I was able to find some affordable favors here:
Here is a new way to arrange a birthday party in the comfort of your own home: Story-based parties. All the parties have a storyline that ties everything together: the activities, the crafts and the decorations and snacks. There are several themes to choose from and the parties can fit any budget. Go to: http://www.talescomealive.com and make a tale come alive!
My trick is quite simple. Please understand this is for 9-12 year old girl.
I limit the amount of guest. In return I can focus on the children present and in exchange not only the quality of food its better, but the favors and even the decor because it is more of a controlled chaos.
I have pictures on my blog of my daughters 11th Birthday. A Luau. Cost $100.00 and then later that evening I celebrated another friend which her Bday was the day before with the leftover decor. So there you have it.
Depending on the age of the child, you can plan an affordable birthday party. The key is to get creative with your budget. Keep it simple and try to handcraft most of the decorations by shopping at the dollar stores. They are the best when it comes to planning and designing parties on a budget. Use crepe paper and curling ribbon to accent tables and the ceiling. Find fun wrapping paper and wrap a few boxes for a quick centerpiece or they can be used to display cupcakes. Parties are suppose to be fun, not time consuming
go to kidscancook.ca they offer cooking parties and classes for kids 5 years old and up!

http://www.wix.com/kidscancook7/haltondeals#!store I just found and bought great items from this site: http://www.wix.com/kidscancook7/haltondeals#!store Copy and paste this link. HaltonDeals
Try to use things that you already have in a new way. Our homes are full of items that can be turned in to party decor or serving pieces! Turn over bowls and use a Glue Dot to place a plate on top for a temporary cake stand. Do the same with coffee or tea cups and saucers for mini pedestals. Old sheets work perfectly as tablecloths. Inexpensive plastic tablecloths can be turned in to ruffled party streamers. (http://www.cupcakesandcutlery.com/the-cutest-ruffled-streamers-from-plastic-tablecloths/). Choose a color theme instead of a pricey licensed theme and head to the dollar store for plates, napkins and children's toys. Yarn is a very inexpensive way to add color to a party through pom poms, wrapped vases and braiding in to garlands. Gather your girl friends and have a party crafting night to get the diy's done quicker. And last but not least, create an informal "party swap" with your other party throwing pals to share your leftovers with them and have access to their excess as well.
(1) Don't get carried away. Usually kids are able to enjoy simpler things--it's moms who whirl themselves into a frenzy trying to do the biggest and best party ever. (2) Spend more time planning than shopping. Put your effort into staying organized and searching carefully for the best deals. (3) Keep it fun and don't drive yourself crazy.
I have friends who definitely go over the top when it comes to birthday parties, but with four kids, we choose to spend our money in a different way. Of course, the most important aspect of your child's birthday is making them feel like it is THEIR special day. We start out the special day with just regular blown up balloons covering the floor of their bedroom when they wake up, followed by their favorite breakfast. The balloons are always a big hit and it is something they look forward to on each child's birthday. If it is a school day then either myself or my husband (or both of us if we can make it) will eat lunch with the birthday boy at school and bring treats for the class to celebrate as well. If it falls on a weekend then we get ready to party! Our birthday parties are pretty simple: family and close friends and as my boys get older a few friends from their class. Decorations are always expected, though! Who doesn't love party decorations? I usually try to stick with a color theme instead of character theme. The local dollar tree usually has great deals on party supplies or if I am looking for something particular I will go to the party store. I try to coordinate the wrapping paper for gifts, plates, napkins, ect. and my kids love 'Happy Birthday" banners so I usually buy stuff to make them from a craft store - which allows me to have supplies on hand for future birthdays, too. I usually make homemade cupcakes per request from my kids, which saves money, and I find it less messy. SCORE! Sometimes after the actual party we will take the boys by ourselves to the zoo, or to a movie, bowling, ect to spend some family time together and to continue the celebration of our child Birthday don't have to be expensive or overdone to have a wonderful celebration!
I always felt I needed to go all out for a party and that can easily get costly and quick - one of the most basic principles I keep in mind is who I'm actually throwing the party for {my kids} and how awe struck they are with the simplest things - one easy cut for me was to quit feeling the need to feed an army. Not thinking I had to prepare a well rounded lunch topped off with probably way to many sweets and entertainment to boot, we now choose the mid-afternoon hours where cake and ice cream are more than enough, plenty of time is left on either side of those hours to allow for other family activities our guests might have, and more focus can be put on spending time with the birthday boy or girl and their friends. I learned indeed that our little ones will always remember the time spent together over what was served or how extravagantly it was presented!
Kristen ~ www.maryhadalittleparty.com
I absolutely love planning birthday parties!!! I think you need to be as creative as possible and keep it simple. Pick a theme and stick to it! You should definitely make the cupcakes or birthday cake. Why order that when I personally prefer a homemade one anyway. Also a great source for party favors is oriental trading company. Another huge savings is if you plan the games yourself instead of hiring entertainment!!
If you have a budget, pick one or two elements to 'splurge' on..like the cake, favors or a bounce house.
I try to keep things simple by using solid color plates/utensils/cups..instead of the 'themed' ones. It's always cheaper & it's going in the garbage anyway.

One that fits Because of the way that I am built, and practically very little shoulder on the right side, it's hard to find something like this that fits. This camisole fits well to the body, very comfortable, and lasts a long time. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was in pink, so I order a set of pink and white; it was time to replace what I was wearing out. Thank you, VCS, and keep these in stock! March 24, 2015
very nice undershirts These are soft and warm. I'm very pleased with them. March 23, 2015
Long enough to tuck in... until you wash them. I was so disappointed to see that these shrank more than 2" in length on the first wash. If you don't need the extra length, they are a nice product - but since they are specifically marketed as "long enough to tuck in" the shrinkage is especially annoying. March 17, 2015
Comfy & Warm Love these shirts!! The only thing that bothered me was the paper like tags on the necks - had to cut them off immediately. They machine wash and dry wonderfully. March 3, 2015
Very poor quality Very thin fabric and no they are not made longer. After one wash delicate cold water they were worse. Not as advertised. Also not true to size. March 3, 2015
old fashioned comfort and warmth I used to laugh at my Mom for wearing these tank tops. She called them "snuggies". This winter has made me a believer. I wear one of these tank tops every day! Of course, Mom knew best! February 19, 2015
Nice cotton Really nice cotton. Washes well too. January 8, 2015
Disappointing fit I was so happy to find women's cotton undershirts ao I ordered size M as I am 5'4, 135. They seemed snug but I wore them and found out they are extremely binding underarm and may have to end as very nice dustrags! January 5, 2015

Students in the Executive M.B.A. program course at Loyola Marymount University got a first-hand look into how state government and businesses use innovation during a visit to Sacramento and Silicon Valley this summer. The two-day trip was part of a Business Research Skills course offered in the summer.
"It was a great opportunity to meet with leaders in government and from different businesses and see them operate in their own environments," said Javier Perez, a student in the E.M.B.A. program. "We got to experience things and have conversations that you just can't have in the classroom."
During the day, the E.M.B.A. students met in Sacramento with John Chiang, California State Controller; Senator Ted Lieu (D-Torrance), Assemblymember Steven Bradford, lobbyists and a panel of assembly and senate staffers. In the evening, they visited leaders from companies in Silicon Valley including Tesla, Genentech, Bracket and Charge Point. The E.M.B.A. students asked questions about about leadership, product and managerial development, investing, culture, among many other topics.
"The trip gave us perspective," Perez said. "We looked at how companies and government view innovation and how they connect with other companies and the community. It was refreshing to see excitement about development."
Chiang spoke to the class about state infrastructure and the wall of debt, Lieu discussed enterprise zones and business development and Bradford talked about how businesses should teach innovation at the state level. Perez said the biggest take-away was learning about the close connection between government and business.
"I never looked at policy impact from a business perspective," Perez said. "There are so many stakeholders who can play a part in influencing laws. Big businesses and even small businesses can have an impact."

Can you love someone you do not or no longer respect?
Some love, some say, is unconditional. I wonder: Is there such a thing? Does it bloom or continue even when respect has fallen by the wayside? Will you, can you, still love your spouse or friend if you learn they have acted in ways that have erased your respect? Can love and lack of respect co-exist? Why? Why not?
aj trip
Jun 21 2013: Love can exist even in the absence of respect for a person. In a marriage situation though, a relationship between the two can not exist. I love my ex with most of my soul, but I don't respect who she became, and so it's not possible for us to carry on in a healthy relationship. Sometimes when someone is wondering this question (I had to recently) there is another subconscious question being asked as well. Can I make it alone, or can/should I accept the way things are now?
- +2
In my opinion, It is worth trying to find that lost respect if at all possible, but once you know if that's possible or not, you have enough information to make the right choice.
Jun 21 2013: aj,
You're another winner of the HITS THE NAIL ON THE HEAD award.
An opine for the history books.
Thank you.Jun 21 2013: I have experienced the answer.
Love dies for a number of reasons.
Expectation, then Realization, followed by Treachery.
Other feelings can remain but Love dies.
Only a sadness remains for both.
Life continues.

If you love yourself, you love the world.
you love the air,the tree, the bird, the stream, the child, the stranger, the uncle, the son if you love your SELF.
Jun 21 2013: Sheeesh, adesh,
I love me, but that's a big big world.
Stay out of a dark alley, things could get ugly quick...
And when those politicians ask for money, just say no....
I'm only joking...
greg dahlen
Jun 20 2013: well, it's pretty rare to have no respect for a person. Every person has some good, respectable qualities. Thus you can feel some love for them, also you can love them for their potential.
- +1
Jun 20 2013: Greg, thank you for replying. It would have been more useful had I said "when respect is undermined. or challenged."
Jun 20 2013: Betsy,
What do your mean by respect being underminded, or challenged?
Jun 20 2013: I should have written "undermined" -- was probably thinking "underhanded!"
If someone lies to me about a matter of significance (in my view), I may have some remaining trust that would be a seed for rebuilding, but my full-blown trust would have been undermined or challenged by that behavior.Jun 20 2013: Betsy,
You wrote "undermined"......I copied it wrong.....sorry.
OK.....I understand....and agree. I tend to trust everyone until I have a reason not to trust. So, I guess that means that my trust or respect may, in that circumstance be undermined or challenged.
I asked the question to clarify, because our respect/trust could be undermined/challenged by behaviors on the part of another person, and/or by our own insecurity.Jun 20 2013: Dear Greg,
I totally agree..."Every person has some good, respectable qualities. Thus you can feel some love for them, also and love them...for their potential".
That just warms my heart my friend:>)Jun 21 2013: Kendall,
It gets involved and complicated.
I don't think of pity as having substance.
Only as a description within your mind.
A tort thrown, or as retort.Jun 21 2013: Depends on what kind of relation is considered. Think of mother's love for her child , is respect to child is necessary for mother to love her child ?Jun 21 2013: Yes,but just for relations:parents,sisters,brothers.Because nothing can change that they are my relations.maybe for sth they have done not deserve my respect,but I keep my love for them.If I don't love them who else?Jun 21 2013: We're human; its not so easy to answer. And a generic answer, I'm not sure it would be accurate. Human passions are sometimes stronger than our willings.
Good question, of course.Jun 21 2013: What's the difference between love and respect.
Love can mean a number of things from romantic love to agapi love but there are other meanings.
Respect is a sort of deference or admiration. sounds very different from most kinds of love. We have to conceive of respect before we look at no longers respect or no longer love.
These are different concepts
So Why not?Jun 21 2013: When there is a combination of lack of respect and love, I think it creates pity.
Jun 21 2013: Kendall,
It sounds like pity, but it isn't that at all.
To pity, one must judge from on high.
That is conceit.
Jun 21 2013: You are right. Pity is a judgmental emotion.
I think it can be necessary, depending on the level that respect was compromised. When respect is truly demolished pity can be the best alternative to hate. If respect is undermined but not destroyed then love is possible.I am not a fan of pity as an emotion but in some cases I think it is necessary for peace of mind. Only in extreme circumstances though (where your every interaction may include being attacked by that person).Jun 20 2013: Sometimes the people you do not respect need your love the most. Also, sometimes you do not respect people who deserve your respect. A parent's love does not depend upon whether they respect their child, they love the child no matter what. Without a definition of love your quest will be a goose chase. What do you mean by the word love?
Jun 20 2013: Edward, thank you for your response.
I posted this, curious about how others might answer, using their own definitions.
Loosely, I'd say that "love" (for me) could be conditional or unconditional, depending upon the object. We see love perish every day for any number of reasons. Look at the divorce rate.
Respect has dual, unrelated meanings for me 1)-- something accorded unconditionally to someone's innate humanity and 2. conditional, predicated on the way someone chooses to live.
But anyone who answers will have their own definitions. What are yours?
Jun 21 2013: The etymology of the word "love" is not simple. There is sexual affection; brotherly, familial affection; social care and concern for others; fondness for one's children. My personal belief is that one ought not claim to love another person if one is not devoted to doing everything possible to achieve the very best God offers for that person. Otherwise the word is diminished and diluted.Jun 20 2013: Good point Edward...."Sometimes the people you do not respect need your love the most."
I also agree with your statement..."A parent's love does not depend upon whether they respect their child, they love the child no matter what"
I believe we can respect and love a person, and not respect certain behaviors. What do you think?
edward long
Jun 20 2013: I think the two emotions (respect and love) are independent from one another. To commit an isolated act which rightfuly causes a loss of respect should not result in the loss of all respect for all time. I agree it is better to tell someone who acts on a poor decision that you do not respect their actions in that specific matter. As Mr. Dahlen says below, not many people act in a constantly dishonorable way. If folks love and respect only those who never make a mistake there would be no love or respect at all in this tattered old world.Jun 21 2013: Colleen,

"I believe we can respect and love a person, and not respect certain behaviors."
I can say I love my children and grandchildren, directed to them, but in my mind,
I separate my love of them, segregating family members, into 'friends and
I love my friends.
My acquaintances?
I put up with.
My experiences are taken from the loss of the lives of 2 son-in-laws to drug and
alcohol abuse, and with one daughter and her 2 sons who do the same, and
with my other daughter, whom after being a widow found her way to normalcy.
And with her son, who almost lost himself to drugs, but returned from the brink.
My sons-in-laws were scallywags. Never sober. Too old for my daughters.
I should have put them in jail, but, caught between my perceived loss of love
from my daughters, I did not.
Time wounds all heels, and in this case it did.
Today, my daughter with her drug problem has gotten a bit older, and a bit wiser.
I suppose she will soon reach the stage where I can once again love her.
I can hope, I so want her to be my friend.
Today, one of her kids is in jail because of drug use, and has a long rap sheet.
But the other one is in a half-way house, going through a court-allowed drug
program. Both are acquaintances of mine, my grandchildren.
They stole from their grandmother, her money, in grand amounts,
her coin collection, her computer, and other things they could sell.
She still loves them? But she brings her cash to me for safe-keeping
when they visit.
If I let the one that today resides in jail enter my house, he cases it continuously
while here, and can be assumed to be stealing my diabetic shot needles. Needles
were found on his person when last arrested, a couple of days after his last visit.
I have many friends with the local cops. We get a chuckle or two.
Love can wait for him until he can waken to reality.
Maybe 50 years from now.
Ya think?
Jun 21 2013: Frank,
I am very sorry about your losses and your challenges.Jun 20 2013: People can love family members without respecting them, depending on how you define respect. For example, people can excuse many behaviors in their loved ones.
Jun 20 2013: Fritzie, you remind me that with any discussion, a definition of terms can be useful so everyone is replying to thesame intention. Good point you made!Jun 20 2013: Fritzie,
Is it lack of respect for the person? Or lack of respect for their actions/behaviors? If we can excuse behaviors, perhaps it is the behavior that we may not respect?
Jun 21 2013: I think of respect as being about behaviors. I know some people would suggest that one should respect people simply because of age or some other attribute not associated with behavior. To me. there is a difference between treating a person with respect and actually respecting the person.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and its variants belong to a broad group of human and animal diseases known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). The name derives from the spongy holes, visible under a microscope, that develop in affected brain tissue.
The cause of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and other TSEs appears to be abnormal versions of a kind of protein called a prion. Normally, these proteins are harmless, but when they're misshapen they become infectious and can wreak havoc on normal biological processes.
How CJD is transmitted
The risk of CJD is low. The disease can't be transmitted through coughing or sneezing, touching, or sexual contact. The three ways it develops are:

Having lived here in Africa for almost 5 years, I can safely say that I have been to some of the most beautiful places on Earth. Nothing compares to the experience of being up close with wild animals. I remember how beautiful yet frightening it was to see a gazelle being chased down by a lioness. How the poor gazelle tried to outrun its predator but failed. I remember feeling grossed out seeing a wake of vultures feeding together at a carcass. I have learned later on that vultures are the only animals that can stomach eating rotten flesh and that they help prevent diseases spread by rotting corpses. I have seen the smiles of locals and how accommodating they were. I have visited some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and believe it or not, they are in Africa.
Despite the negative picture the media paints us of Africa; we cannot deny that it is a beautiful country. It has been my home for the last 5 years. In the years that I have been here, I can safely say that I know some of the best places that travelers need to visit when they find themselves itching for a little African adventure. Check out the list I made below.
Where: Cape Town
Table Mountain is named as such due to its appearance—it is a flat topped mountain that overlooks Cape Town. Just like any hiking trip, the climb can be very hard and taxing, but the view from up the mountain is just spectacular. You can see all of Cape Town from up there. If the idea of hiking up the mountain does not appeal to you, don't worry; there's a cable car service to the summit.
Where: Cape Town
Robben Island is famous for many things such as being a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also home to the prison where South Africa's prisoners hid during the Apartheid era. Nelson Mandela was once imprisoned in Robben Island too. According to Africa's history, that Robben Island was once a leper colony, a place where mentally ill patients were sent and a defense training base.
Usually, the people leading the tours to Robben Island are former political prisoners who have a lot to share of Africa's political history.
Where: Phalaborwa
If you think the view from the Table Mountain is spectacular, then wait till you visit Kruger National Park. This place is the very definition of breathtaking. It boasts of a diverse collection of flora and fauna—336 types of trees, 34 types of amphibians, 49 kinds of fish, 112 different kinds of reptiles, 147 kinds of mammals, and a whopping 507 different species of birds.
Where: Krugersdorp
Situated just 50 km away from Johannesburg, The Cradle of Humankind is made up of a complex of limestone caves where scientists have discovered fossils dated back to the birth of humankind. It is said that man's earliest known ancestors evolved from the Cradle of Humankind.
I hope this list can help you guys if you ever decide to visit Africa. It is a place that will leave you with some amazing impressions and wonderful, unforgettable memories.

Montreal Neurological Hospital
3801 University Street
Montreal, Quebec H3A 2B4
(514) 934-1934
The Montreal Neurological Hospital is a unique academic medical centre dedicated to neuroscience. Here multidisciplinary teams of basic and clinical scientists generate fundamental information about the nervous system and apply that knowledge to understanding and treating neurological diseases.
Getting to the Hospital
A unique academic medical centre dedicated to neuroscience
Since its founding, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (the Neuro) has maintained a close relationship with the Royal Victoria Hospital (RVH) and the two institutions mutually support each other through shared resources. This relationship will change in 2015 when the RVH moves to the Glen site. As such, a transition plan has been developed to comprehensively address this change and ensure that the Neuro continues providing safe and high-quality patient care. Since the Neuro will eventually relocate to the Glen site, this plan is temporary in nature.
The transition plan includes:
- Expanding Emergency Services capacity to treat patients that meet a specific profile
- Build a satellite pharmacy on site that is supported by the Glen site and the Montreal General Hospital
New functions to be performed at the Neuro:
- Electrocardiography
- Holter
- Echocardiogram
- Plasmapheresis
- Tracheostomies
- Hemodialysis
- Point of Care Testing
- Nursing Specialists in wound care, Psychiatry, Palliative care, off hours Nursing Resource Management
Find out more about the Neuro by clicking here or visit their website at theneuro.ca.
A look ahead: Neuro departments and services in 2015
Since the Neuro will not be moving in 2015, all departments and services currently offered will remain the same. Here is a complete list of departments that will be offered at the Neuro as of April 26, 2015:
Services offered in 2015
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Cerebrovascular Disorders
|Pain syndromes of the central and peripheral nervous system
|Secondary and Tertiary Stroke Care
Movement Disorders (ex. Parkinson's Disease)
|Traumatic Brain Injury
Multiple Sclerosis
Research Institute

The Admissions Office (514) 398-1900 will try to let you know in advance of the day and time you will be admitted. In some cases, your admission date could be delayed on short notice. Upon arrival, you should register with the Admissions Office, 165C on the ground floor near the Information Desk, and have a hospital card made (if you don't already have one).
Please follow any pre-operative instructions that may have been given to you.
What to bring
Although the hospital provides hospital gowns, you may feel more comfortable in your own pyjamas/clothing, housecoat, and slippers/shoes. You should bring a toothbrush, toothpaste, tissues, shaving items, soap, skin lotion, sanitary supplies and other personal-care articles. Since storage is limited, you are asked not to bring large suitcases.
Please bring all medications that you are taking. This will ensure that the admitting physician or nurse can verify the exact medication and dose that you have been prescribed.
You should also bring your valid Medicare card and Neurological Hospital card. If you do not have a Montreal Neurological Hospital card, the Admissions Office staff will make one for you.
At the time of admission, you will be asked to sign a general consent form for treatment and tests. For patients under the age of 14 years, the person with parental authority will be asked to sign on the patient's behalf. For patients who are incapacitated, the curator, spouse, tutor or close relative may sign the consent form. For further information, contact the Social Service Department ((514) 398-1916) or the office of the Public Curator (514) 873-4074.
At the same time, you will be asked whether or not you agree to release medical information to your insurance company and/or to referring doctors, hospitals or clinics. You can choose not to release information outside the hospital. Please be assured that the refusal to release information will in no way influence the quality of the treatment you will receive.
The Café Neuro coffee shop (514-398-1926) is located on the third floor and sells meals and snacks. It is open to patients and visitors during the following hours:
- 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Friday
- 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturdays, Sundays
A cafeteria and vending machines are available at the Royal Victoria Hospital. They are accessible via the third-floor bridge connecting the Montreal Neurological Hospital with the Royal Victoria Hospital.
Visiting hours
Regular visiting hours are from 8 am to 9 pm. These hours may be modified based on a specific patient population or nursing unit's needs.
Information about patients
Your family or friends may call the nursing station on your wing any time (day or night) for information about you. For security and confidentiality reasons, information can be relayed only to those whom you, the patient, have authorized to receive information. Please choose a spokesperson that will pass information on to other members of the

JVCC SRT-700 Silicone Rubber Tape is a self adhering, self bonding (an adhesive-free tape that fuses only to itself) red triangular silicone tape. It offers excellent electrical insulation properties, moisture, chemical and UV resistance. It's self bonding properties offer excellent conformability and adherence to irregular and nontraditional surfaces. JVCC SRT-700 silicone tape is made of a special unsupported silicone rubber compound which readily adheres to itself when wrapped under tension and forms a homogeneous mass within 24 hours. The adhesion can be accelerated with heat and pressure. When applying the tape make sure it overlaps itself (since it only adheres to its own backing) and stretch/pull the tape tightly around the object (the tape has a white guide line down the middle to help in overlapping it correctly). The tape creates an instant, permanent water-tight seal and can withstand temperatures from -65°F to +500°F. No adhesive (self bonding) insures no residue. The tape has a triangular thickness so it is thinner at the edges and thicker in the middle. Applications for JVCC SRT-700 include: watertight insulated over wrap of any electrical or wiring connection, indoors and out; automotive and general fluid hose repair (keep in vehicle for emergency repairs); replacement for heat shrinkable tubing; and replacement for electrical tape on marine applications.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.

Interpretive Handbook
35063 :
Creatine Kinase Isoenzyme Reflex, Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Creatine kinase (CK) activity is found in the cytoplasm of several human tissues; major sources of CK include skeletal muscle, myocardium, and the brain. Cytoplasmic CK isoenzymes are dimers of the subunits M and B (MM, MB, or BB). Brain tissue contains predominantly CK-BB (CK1). Skeletal muscle contains almost exclusively CK-MM (CK3). The myocardium contains approximately 30% of CK-MB (CK2), which has been called the "heart specific" isoenzyme. CK-MB is increased in acute myocardial infarction.
Mitochondrial CK, located at the outer surface of the inner mitochondrial membrane, has been suggested to catalyze the rate-limiting step of energy transfer from mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with the formation of creatine phosphatase (CP). The CP molecule, which is smaller in size than ATP, diffuses to target organelles in the cytoplasm where its energy is transferred to ATP by cytoplasmic CK. CK activity results in nonaerobic production of ATP in muscle tissues during work.
Macro CK refers to at least 2 forms of CK. Macro CK type I is an antibody bound form of cytoplasmic CK. It migrates between CK-MM and CK-MB. Macro CK type II (mitochondrial CK) migrates slightly cathodic of CK-MM. Detection of macro forms of CK is the primary reason for electrophoresis of CK activity.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of macro forms of creatine kinase
Diagnosing skeletal muscle disease, in conjunction with aldolase
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Creatine kinase (CK)-MB appears in serum 4 to 6 hours after the onset of pain in a myocardial infarction, peaks at 18 to 24 hours, and may persist for 72 hours.
CK-MB may also be elevated in cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, pulmonary embolism, hypothyroidism, crush injuries, and muscular dystrophy.
Extreme elevations of CK-MB can be associated with skeletal muscle cell turnover as in polymyositis, and to a lesser degree in rhabdomyolysis, as seen in strenuous exercise, particularly in the conditioned athlete.
CK-BB can be elevated in patients with head injury, in neonates, and in some cancers such as prostate cancer and small cell carcinoma of the lung. It can also be elevated in other malignancies; however, the clinical usefulness of CK-BB as a tumor marker needs further investigation.
The presence of macro CK can explain an elevation of total CK. It does not rise and fall as rapidly as CK-MM and CK-MB in muscle injury.
Macro CK type II (mitochondrial CK) is rarely observed. It is only seen in acutely ill patients with malignancies and other severe illnesses with a high associated mortality, such as liver disease and hypoxic injury.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
In some patients, the presence of MB is method dependent.
Creatine kinase (CK)-MB values that exceed 50% of the total CK probably reflect unusual B subunit synthesis since heart muscle rarely exceeds 30% MB.
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.
6-11 years: 150-499 U/L

> or =18 years: 38-176 U/L
Reference values have not been established for patients that are less than 6 years of age.
Note: Strenuous exercise or intramuscular injections may cause transient elevation of CK.

Managing Time
Zero. That's the number of e-mails I have stored in my in-box at the moment. I try to keep it under five. I only store work that I need to get done today in my in-box. The rest follows the 4 D's — do, delete (my favorite), delegate (a close second), and drag. "Drag" can also mean "file" — but that doesn't start with a "D." I cheat a little — I've set up "rules" for most of my e-mails from service providers and others outside of the company. These e-mails get tucked away in a reading folder until I have time to scan them. One arrived the other day about the new UK Anti-corruption Law. If you haven't read about this, and your company does business in the United Kingdom, you need to take a look.
I bet you've taken a bunch of time management courses like I have. I fumbled around with various time management approaches — finally discovering a helpful book, Take Back Your Life! Using Microsoft Outlook to Get Organized and Stay Organized by Sally McGhee. Finally — something that uses something we all probably have at work. Do yourself a favor. Get it. Read it. Live it. (OK — so that might be a tad melodramatic).
I wanted to thank you all for your warm wishes and kind comments on my first blog. A couple of you mentioned that you'd like to know a little more about my background. I now lead the Corporate Audit department at Delta Air Lines and provide assurance over enterprise risk management practices. I joined Delta in March 2009 to form an internal audit team based in Atlanta after Delta's merger with Northwest Airlines. I'm very proud of the team I've built here at Delta. They are a diverse and highly skilled group of auditors with a sense of adventure and intellectual curiosity. We continue to receive support from our co-sourced service provider as well.
Prior to Delta, I led the internal audit team at Starbucks Coffee Company. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to form Starbucks first internal audit function (by the way: no apostrophe on Starbucks, even when possessive). I left a great team behind in Seattle, and I'm sure they will continue to do amazing things. Life before that included planning and accounting roles at Taco Bell and eight years at Price Waterhouse (beforethetwonameswereruntogetherwithaCoopersstuckattheend). My husband is a small business owner, and we have two kids who are part of the net generation (or N-Geners). They can study with their iPods blasting in their headphones while texting their friends and playing video games with the TV on. We have two large breed dogs (one is a puppy) and a gargantuan cat. I do believe that our family holds an undocumented world record for the most amount of laundry ever created by a family of four — and we repeat this record-breaking feat each week.
That's it for now. I'll be blogging from high in the sky next weekend — somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean on my trip back from Europe. I don't know how we lived without Wi-Fi onboard. Have a great week, everyone … keep your in-box clean.

70 years ago at Cedar Point, businesses and homes condemned to make way for Patuxent River Naval Air Station
By NICOLE CLARK
Staff writer
Nell Levay was born and raised on Cedar Point 89 years ago. "I was a farmer's daughter," she said. "We had 130 acres on Harper's Creek, and we loved it," Levay said Wednesday night from her St. Mary's City home.
Her father might have owned a total of 245 acres of land and 17 more in tidewater, according to SlackWater, an account of area history recorded by St. Mary's College of Maryland. Cedar Point, now Patuxent River Naval Air Station, was prime farmland, with more than 70 documented landowners and even more tenant farmers and sharecroppers. They grew wheat, corn and tobacco and raised cows, turkeys and chickens. Watermen made their living harvesting fish, oysters and crabs.
"It was quiet. It was simple. It was safe," Levay said. "And, all of a sudden, the Navy said, 'You will be moved out of here.'"
This year, Pax River is celebrating its 70th anniversary. A parade is scheduled to mark that occasion tomorrow, Saturday, beginning at 10 a.m. in downtown Lexington Park, and will be hosted by the Community Development Corporation, which focuses on revitalization of the area.
Last month at the base, Pax River held a ceremony commemorating its beginnings and its success. And St. Mary's College of Maryland anthropology professor Julia King spoke, to a packed room at the Leonardtown library, about the changes in St. Mary's County since the Navy arrived.
Decades ago, the Navy was looking to consolidate its dispersed Washington offices to improve a focus on aviation, which began to intensify after 1917, during World War I when the United States was at war with Germany, according to Navy installations command history.
By September 1941, the government was searching the East Coast from New York to Charleston, S.C., for land close enough to Washington but isolated enough for extensive testing. Cedar Point was recommended on Nov. 6, 1941, according to SlackWater.
A month later, Japan's aerial and sea-based attack on Pearl Harbor thrust the United States into World War II. The Navy went into overdrive to beef up aviation operations.
Within days of the attack, surveyors began condemning the land at Cedar Point. Families saw letters nailed to their front doors. That's how they received orders to vacate.
"We didn't get it in the mail," said Anne Lancaster, 86, now of Leonardtown. "That part didn't sit too well with some of the people, as I can recall."
Lancaster's father, Frank Aud, ran a post office and owned a store that sold sugar customers would scoop from a barrel and weigh on a scale. "Daddy had all kinds of vegetables," Lancaster said, as well as bolts of fabric, shoes and snuff. Aud's notice to vacate was nailed to the door of his store, Lancaster said.
Ultimately, the Navy purchased 6,412 acres for $712,287. The land had been appraised in the dead of winter, when properties looked their worst. And, landowners felt they didn't get a fair price.
Levay's parents, George and Martha Quirk, "did not like it at all," she said. "They were one of the many that went to court and sued the government for what the property was worth, rather than what they were given. I don't remember what they got," she said. But "they were not satisfied."
Something positive did come out of the change, Levay said.
Today, Pax River, by far, is the county's largest employer, and a lifeline for the local economy. The average federal worker earns $105,508 and the average contractor, $81,224 a year, according to St. Mary's County's economic development office.
Seventy years ago, the Navy hired between 6,000 to 8,000 construction workers to build Pax River and nearby Lexington Park, which became known as the "Instant City." There was so much work that people who grew up or worked during the 1940s in St. Mary's County say they remember dust clouds that hung over construction areas and spread into town. Pedestrians couldn't see what was happening inside the murky air, and once they stepped into the clear, a bus or car might be rushing by.
With the economic boom, rattling changes continued, Levay said. "It just wasn't conducive to good living."
Marine Corps security workers came to Pax River to conduct background checks, after workers were already on the job. The town had become a Wild West of sorts. Guards made some 2,204 arrests, according to SlackWater, which added that these background checks indicated that "confidence men (or swindlers), draft dodgers, felons, liquor smugglers, prostitutes, robbers, and gamblers were employed by the base."
Businesses sprouted up to cater to the newcomers. Bars, strip clubs, gambling and brawls became commonplace in Lexington Park, just outside Pax River's gates. Tension rose between "outsiders" and "natives," SlackWater said. And men often protected themselves in such establishments by keeping their guns on the tables.
"I know my dad was very bitter. And for years, he would not go back on that base," said Audrey Pratt, now of Ridge.
Her father, Henry Cullison, was a tenant farmer, who raised hogs, cattle, turkey, wheat and hay. She was only 3 when the Navy came. So, she mostly remembers the stories. "It was very traumatic," she said. "Especially when you had six kids and not knowing where you're going."
After leaving Cedar Point, her family lived in Leonardtown. Then, they moved to Ridge. And things got better. Children played in the creek and helped on the farm. Women stayed in the house, cooking, or would go to market to sell eggs and butter.
"It was like a barter," she said. There were always three meals a day, often with homemade biscuits, vegetables and crabs. "You knew you were loved," Pratt said.
She doesn't hold any resentment. She was too young to remember most of it. Without the base, St. Mary's County "would be a ghost town," she said.
Agnes Cullison Bean was 13 when her family was forced out. "Everybody had to find a place to go," she said. "It was such a traumatic time," especially for her.
Bean was just becoming a young woman at Cedar Point, and remembers dances held with banjos and fiddles playing in the background, and card parties and conversations on the pier. She remembers friends heading off to war.
"You had to be patriotic and all that," Bean said. "But it was taking a part of life."
After families left, her father followed farming work to Leonardtown. Eventually, Bean went off to college, got married at 20, then traveled, living and working Baltimore and Colorado before coming back to St. Mary's at about 25 years old. "I did not go back on base until many, many years later," she said.
Nowadays, things are different, Bean said. Life has gone on. Families have grown, careers have been built and new homesteads have been established during the past 70 years, she said. "You just make the best of life as it comes to you."
Levay took several long pauses as she weighed whether the change was mostly good or mostly bad. Her family moved to Park Hall and purchased a large farm there. But, she said, she often felt a sadness inside of her, "most definitely," she said.
It was a sense of innocence lost. And, it swelled up from time to time when she traveled past Pax River, or when she thought of times long ago. "I couldn't come home," Levay said, "like I had been coming for years, all my life."

Discover What Goes Up Doesn't Always Come Down
Film Premieres Saturday, September 8 During Cocktails & Cosmos Event
Screening Daily in the Dr. Phillips CineDome Beginning Monday, September 10
ORLANDO, FL (August 28, 2012) - With media headlines repeatedly warning us of debris falling from the skies, orbital debris – or "space junk" – has finally risen to the forefront of social consciousness. But what is space junk, how did it get there and just how serious is the problem?
On Saturday, September 8, discover the answers to these questions when Space Junk premieres in the Dr. Phillips CineDome at the Orlando Science Center. Its premiere marks the return of Cocktails and Cosmos, the Science Center's social event where it opens its doors to an adults-only crowd for a night of entertainment and discovery. Following premiere screenings that evening, Space Junk will become part of the daily schedule in the Dr. Phillips CineDome on September 10. It will be screening at the Science Center through February 2013.
Narrated by Academy Award® Nominee Tom Wilkinson, Space Junk is he first movie to explore the exponentially expanding ring of debris that threatens the safety of our planet's orbits. Harnessing the magical imagery of the giant screen, director Melissa Butts takes us soaring – from the stunning depths of Meteor Crater to an unprecedented view of our increasingly crowded orbits, 22,000 miles above earth.
In the film, Don Kessler, (ret.) Head of NASA's Orbital Debris Office and the "Father of Space Junk," reaches back to the beginning of our solar system for understanding and guides us through the challenges we face in protecting our orbits for the future. At risk is the future of space exploration and the safety of the extensive satellite network that powers our modern day communication systems. This visually explosive journey of discovery weighs the solutions aimed at restoring Earth's orbits.
Fueling this story are stunning images that transport the viewer by wrapping us in star fields and allowing us to witness massive collisions in space – both natural and man-made – as though we were in the center of the action. "We set out to recreate the most spectacular orbital debris events with scientific accuracy and mind-blowing visualization," Butts explains.
Melrae Pictures, in association with Red Barn Productions, presents Space Junk, narrated by Tom Wilkinson. Directed by Melissa Butts (3D Sun, Mars 3D). Produced by Melissa Butts and Kim Rowe. Written by Shane Colton. Lead visual effects by Luke Ployhar. Original music by Tom Hambleton, CAS. Director of photography: Reed Smoot, ASC. Space Junk is distributed globally by K2 Communications. The film is 38 minutes.
See the premiere of Space Junk during Cocktails and Cocktails at the Orlando Science Center, which costs $13. Cocktails and Cosmos will take place on the evening of Saturday, September 8 from 8 to 11 p.m. It is an adults-only event, providing a chance for grown-ups to experience the Science Center in a new way with films, guest speakers, cash bars and live programming.
Regular screenings of the film begin Monday, September 10 and are included with general admission, which costs $17 for adults and $12 for youth (ages 3-11). Tickets also provide access to the Science Center's other giant screen films as well as exhibits and live programs. For more information on the Orlando Science Center, please call 407.514.2000. More information on the film can be found at www.SpaceJunk3D.com .

Recipe by Smucker's® Orchard's Finest™
"These succulent chicken wings are grilled with a glaze of peach-apricot preserves, Thai sweet red chili sauce, fresh cilantro and lime juice."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (12 ounce) jar
Smucker's® Orchard's Finest™ Coastal Valley Peach Apricot Preserves
1 cup
Thai sweet red chili sauce
1 teaspoon
lime juice
1 tablespoon
minced fresh cilantro
Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 (2 1/2 pound) bag

This recipe caught my eye on the Buzz and I decided to try it with bone-in, skin-off chicken breast halves. Hubs grilled them, applying the sauce the last 5-10 minutes of grilling and they came off the grill looking beautiful. And the best part was they tasted great! This was not nearly as sweet as I thought it might be, which is a good thing. I think you could probably use any kind of chicken and it may also be great on pork. We'll be making this again soon! UPDATE 4/21/12: I made this again but used the glaze on pork tenderloin (see my photo), again basting with the glaze the last 5-10 minutes of grilling time. Excellent!! Equally as good as the chicken version, try it!
I shouldn't rate this recipe because I used Thai garlic chili sauce. That was all I could find. It was an inferno! I'd still like to try it with the sweet chili. I'm reviewing this just to remind myself. I think it's worth trying again with the right ingredients.

This was super yummy. We used boneless skinless chicken breast and then cut it up into bite size pieces and served it over coconut rice. We all loved it including our little kids.
Enjoyed this recipe, but it was a little sweet, so I added some hot sauce to the dipping glaze.
I have been on a wing kick lately and requested that my husband make these for my birthday. He doesn't like the smell of frying oil, and since these were grilled, he was happy to make them. OH MY GOSH THEY WERE AMAZING! I could have eaten hundreds. Ok, maybe not hundreds, but it sure felt like it because they were THAT GOOD! We couldn't find the peach/apricot glaze so just bought peach preserves and apricot preserves seperately and mixed them together. We also didn't have cilantro and so he left it out and they still were to die for. Crispy, sticky, and amazing.
This sounded too good to pass up and it was! I didn't plan on modifying the recipe but when I looked at the ingredients of all the brands of sweet Thai chili sauce and they all started with sugar I had to make a change. I used Thai chili sauce instead and PERFECTION! Just use mild if you don't want it really spicy. Okay, I also used boneless skinless chicken breasts and eliminated the cilantro because I can't stand it, but that just shows how versital this recipe is. I also used peach apricot preserves because that's what the store had. I grilled the chicken on the BBQ (didn't marinate ahead of time). To go with this I made the Asian Coconut Rice recipe from this site. I know my family will be requesting this a lot. Easy & delicious!
Very good. Will use this recipe again but might thicken it up a bit next time so that more will stick to the chicken
Rating the glaze only...I used bone-in breasts and roasted these, so I can't speak to the wings. The sauce was about as simple as you can get, but I thought it was too sweet and not spicy enough, so I added some shrircha to spice it up. There is another Asian-inspired glaze recipe here at AR that I like more, but for ease, you can't beat this one.
