Hello everyone!
I've been toying with the idea of getting into disc golf for a while...
Recently an old college pal of mine in Kentucky caught wind of my curiosity of the sport and sent me a bunch of discs.
However, I dont haves any buddies into the sport locally...
I live in Tucker, and Redan is the closest course (why I'm posting this here). I'm wondering if anyone would be able to give me a little guidance as far as getting started playing, and perhaps there are a few of you who wouldn't mind a straight up noob tagging along on a few rounds?
I'm planning to visit the course tomorrow (Friday) just to try these discs out...is it kosher to "walk on" as a single and just hack my way around the course? Also any thing I should be aware of as far as fees or parking?
Thanks in advance everyone!

I will agree that last year was not Fasano's best. His blocking and yards per catch were down. However, I look at what he has done since he got here, and it has been as rock solid as any player we have had. He has been through three OC's, four QBs, and has done nothing but good for our team.
Some keep bringing up his speed, which is fair but, no one is showing me the speed demons having a better yards per catch and/or TD's than he had in 2010 and 11. The reason is simple, they are few.
Anyone recall 2008? That was when I thought Fasano was at his best. We had David Martin as a second TE. Fasano averaged 13.4 yards per catch with 7 TD's, and Martin was 14.5 with 3 TD's. They combined for just under 1,000 yards with Penny. I wonder IF that was where Mr Bill got the idea of two TE's causing damage.
That would be my ideal situation for Fasano.

I hope you're happy, beat writers. I hope you find some sick pleasure in running another Cubs legend out of town by crucifying him with broken prose. Maybe you live in some alternate universe where it's okay to violate a man's privacy and print things like his baseball stats and the lack of influence he has on a team's ability to win, but I expect better from the society I live in. But my own values of treating others with dignity and grace have no consequence in the cutthroat media machine in Chicago. Nope. Blake DeWitt is no longer a Chicago Cub. Well, technically he was designated for assignment, but we all know what that means: banished from the hallowed halls of Wrigley because the Tribune, the Sun Times, the Daily Herald, Fangraphs, Baseball Reference, Yahoo! Sports, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, and other sour-hearted media bullies of their ilk carried out their vendetta against another hardworking go-getter. They all apparently feel entitled to print whatever they want about the man, no matter who it hurts, no matter how deep the blade of reckless truth may cut.
What really sickens me is that the Cubs are trashing him as well. In their official press release, they pull no punches. The weak of stomach are advised to turn away:
DeWitt, 26, batted .265 (61-for-230) with 11 doubles, five home runs and 26 RBI in 121 games with the Cubs last year, his first full season with the club after being acquired from the Dodgers on July 31, 2010. He is a career .260 hitter (283-for-1,087) in 404 major league games with the Dodgers (2008-10) and the Cubs (2010-present).
The man has a family. Have these people no decency? How is DeWitt supposed to find a job when his former team spews bile about his personal performance? Disgusting. I can only hope the team, the media, and fellow Cubs fans can learn their lesson, finally, that it does no one any good to pay attention to how well any of these players do on the field. That's not what this is about. It's about heart, and I'm pretty sure Blake DeWitt has one. I wish I could say the same thing about everyone in Chicago.
Is There a Cubs Game Today?
Fun but not funny
I just can't laugh today. Not without Blake.

The Florida Panhandle is a laid-back, slow-paced and family-friendly beach destination. Miles and miles of white sand; beautiful state parks; historic sites, and great fishing attract millions of visitors every year, from families with kids, to couples, to groups of friends.
The quiet beach communities are spread out along the coast, also known as the Emerald Coast for its clear green waters. Having a car is mandatory if you want to explore beyond the local beach, and many visitors will want to -- there are great hiking trails, beautiful lakes, wonderful national forests, and some of the best canoeing and kayaking in the state.
Even though visitors don't visit the Panhandle for its cultural attractions, they do exist. Tallahassee and Pensacola are both steeped in history, with beautiful historic homes, antebellum plantations, a few interesting museums, and solid shopping and entertainment scenes.
The Panhandle might not be as glamorous or ritzy as South Florida destinations, but many prefer its smaller crowds and gorgeous beaches.
Pensacola, featuring low-key nightlife, interesting dining scene, and histiroc sights, is the gateway to Blackwater River State Forest, where visitors can find some of the best canoeing in Florida. It's also within a short drive of a number of great beaches with powdery white sand and emerald waters.
The coast is home to myriad small beach communities, of which Panama City Beach is the liveliest. It is one of the favorite Spring Break destinations on the Panhandle and does get crowds, but many restaurants, bars, shops and hotels close in the off-season. For a quieter stay, head to any of the other coastal towns between Laguna Beach and Pensacola.
Those who want more than just fun in the sun might want to head to Tallahassee, the charming state capital, with an Old South vibe, beautiful 19th-century homes, historic plantations, and lovely parks.
If it's world-class fishing you're after, Destin is arguably the best spot.

Comments about Muck Boot Mens Edgewater 6.5" Camp Shoe:
I have had a pair for 10 years. Love, love, love these boots. Loved them so much I bought a second pair and left at our cabin so I didn't have to haul my other pair with me always. They are warm, no matter how cold. I use them when gardening, in the barn, going to auctions, wet/sloppy snow. Easy to slip on and go.

Comments about Muck Boot Mens Edgewater 6.5" Camp Shoe:
Used these shoes for dog-walking, short hikes. Liked the easy slip-on convenience. They were TOUGH to break-in, & I had blisters for weeks. They were NOT good for any kind of rough terrain - won't hold foot stable. They wore out within 4-months. The tread wore down to almost nothing. They crack at the inside top where your big toe connects to your foot. (Not just my pair - every pair I've seen owned by other people). Not durable, short life make them not worth the money.

Recipe by Charlie
"These nachos can be served as a meal, but all the good stuff makes for a great appetizer or snack while watching a game or a quick lunch for your family and friends. Better plan on making two plates of these, they're really good! Serve with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground beef
onion, finely diced
salt and pepper to taste
2 cups
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 (16 ounce) can
refried beans
1 (14.5 ounce) package
tortilla chips
fresh jalapeno pepper, sliced
Yummy! I took some suggestions from the previous reviewers: I added taco seasoning to the ground beef (using Taco Seasoning recipe from this site). I spread the tortilla chips onto a cookie sheet, and baked for about 10 minutes at 350 to make them crispy. Then I just added the toppings onto that. Popped the pan back into the oven until the cheese melted, and it was done. I did not heat the refried beans first though, I wish I had, they were difficult to spread, so I just ended up plopping spoonfuls onto the chips.
Slather your favorite refried or black beans on top of those chips first...then the cooked beef or chicken.. That's what keeps the meat from falling off. Add plenty of cheese and stick the whole thing under the broiler until you see the cheese is bubbling. Chips stay crisp this way. Now add your favorite salsa, guacamole, sour cream... Microwaves and crispy anything just don't mix. So easy in the broiler why ruin a good thing...unless you don't have an over of course. : )

Everyone enjoyed these at our Sunday night card party. I baked chips in oven for about 6-8 minutes, cooked meat with Taco seasoning as others did. I melted a 3 ounce brick of cream cheese with the beans for ease of spreading. Then topped everything with sour cream, guacamole, chopped Roma toms, minced green onions, and sliced black olives. Messy, but yummy! Thanks Charlie.
I heated my beans before putting the mixture on the chips. It helped to make it a little easier to spread. I also placed my chips in the oven before I added the ingredients to make them crispier. Once assembled I placed them back in the oven as opposed to the microwave. Great recipe!
These are pretty good for something quick, but I wouldn't call them "Over the Top". The ground beef really needed some seasoning, so I used "Taco Seasoning I" from this site. I also used a Mexican blend cheese. I didn't microwave this, instead I layered everything in a 9x13 foil pan and baked it in the oven. When everything was nice and melted I prettied it up a bit by adding some shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, black olives, chopped green onions, and a nice dollup of sour cream on top. Overall, not bad with a side of a couple sides of homemade salsa and guacamole - very filling.
Delicious. My boyfriend is a picky eater and loved these. The chips stay crispier if you bake them at 350 for 8 minutes. TRY THEM THEY ARE GREAT!
Restaurant quality nachos. We added shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, guacomole, and sour cream. It made a lot more than we anticipated, we ended up transfering it into a 9X13 pan so we could eat it more easily while watching Sunday football! We already have plans to make it again this weekend!
Nachos are quite possibly the most fun food ever- so I can't see how anything would get a bad rating. You can adjust everything according to taste because a recipe is more like a loose guideline than a strict set of rules. At any rate- the taco seasoning on the meat was awesome- I also used pickled jalapenos, cheese, black olives and warm low fat refried beans. I served with sour cream and salsa. My husband deemed them the best nachos he's ever had! Popping the chips into the oven for a couple of minutes before topping works wonders with soggy issues.

Born: In 1958 in London.
Sounds like: Early Iron Maiden songs performed by less capable players who have not taken very good care of themselves.
For fans of: Iron Maiden, Blaze Bayley, Tim "Ripper" Owens, the Hindenberg, the Exxon Valdez.
Latest release: The Fight Goes On, a three-disc compilation of Di'Anno's work with his forgotten late-'80s project, Battlezone.
Why you care: Before Iron Maiden became the operatic, swashbuckling progressive-metal titan you know and love, it was one of the best rock bands on the planet. Its self-titled debut album and superior follow-up, Killers, featured the vocal talents of one Paul Di'Anno—a loose cannon who brought punk attitude and style to the burgeoning metal scene. He was brash, shorthaired, wore leather and spikes, and hit just enough high notes to get the job done. Based solely on those two records, he earned immortality. Unfortunately, his cocaine and alcohol abuse were so out of control that Maiden let him go just as the group was growing into an arena-sized behemoth. Since then, Di'Anno has spent three decades leading various groups, from Battlezone to Killers (not those Killers) to his current Paul Di'Anno Band. None of them is very good, and sadly, the rotund, now-balding Di'Anno can't sing all that well anymore. He was denied a U.S. work visa for many years because of drug charges in the U.K., and found himself imprisoned for months when British officials learned he was collecting government benefits for a bad back while playing festivals in Greece. The good news for any punters still reading this is that Di'Anno is performing the entire first Iron Maiden album and select cuts from Killers in Portland, which is all we can ask for—provided, of course, he makes it into the country.
SEE IT: Paul Di'Anno plays the Hawthorne Theatre, 1507 SE Cesar E. Chavez Blvd., with LoNero and Splintered Throne, on Friday, Dec. 21. 7:30 p.m. $18 advance, $20 day show. 21+.

Bring your wall alive with a New York Yankees classic, and a motivational message sure to lift you to new heights! This rare vintage poster was published in 1999 by St. Louis-based company Mostly Memories Inc., in cooperation with the legendary Cardinals superstar Lou Brock's marketing and apparel firm Brockworld Products. For some reason, retail distribution of these posters never materialized, and very few ever left the warehouse of the publisher. A decade later, The Sports Poster Warehouse managed to obtain a limited quantity of this item from a wholesaler in the Eastern Missouri area, and now we are proud to FINALLY offer this item to the world! Yankee fans will love the rare celebration photo, taken just moments after the team wrapped up the 1998 World Series Championship at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, after defeating the Padres in Game 4 to wrap up the season, while anyone looking for a great motivational poster will be thrilled by the design, style, action, and quote (which is an acronym for the word "TEAM"). Don't miss out - these likely won't last long!

Comments On Aug 30, 2015:I ride extremely technical single track with tons of rocks and logs at very fast speeds. With this 4mm tube I don't need to worry about pinch flats or tube failures. Its so tough you would have a hard time puncturing it with a knife. Plus its half the price of the well know brands on the market.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Aug 18, 2015:Tired of pinch flats, so went with this heavy duty tube. Yep, it's heavy duty and it's comparable to wrestling a python to get the thing installed due to it's thickness, but I'll take that over another flat.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 21, 2015:An extremely thick tube. I returned it for a standard heavy duty. I'm sure it would have worked great though.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jul 19, 2015:First off, if you lack sufficient manliness to stuff this hulk of a tube into your tire, buy something else. Yeah, I read all the sob stories. If you fight these into your tire (they are more difficult than a regular tube), I cannot imagine ever pinching one. I have had them in for more than a year, I ride every week in the rocks and I have never had a flat. In fact, I worn out six rear tires and three front tires while using these same tubes. The price is excellent and so is the product.

Comments On Apr 03, 2015:It's a little tough to install because it's so thick, but once it's in you're gonna have to go thru some very extreme conditions to get this thing to spring a leak. Only thing better than this is a mousse.

Comments On Feb 22, 2015:if you are buying these tubes, you kinda forfeit the right to whine about them being thick, I normally buy the Bridgestone's, but I am impressed with these, look like quality, with a good price

Comments On Jan 24, 2015:These are 4 mil thick, if you are use to a standard 2 mil they are going to be harder to mount. After reading the less than favorable reviews I concluded some people are just never really happy. I have installed about 30 of these on customers bikes for them to test with no ill results and received rave reviews on Dirtbikes and dual sports. I did just shy of 1000 miles in Death Valley, still rocking them. Been running one for a year on the front of my race bike, still going strong. Cannot say enough good about them. Sorry to those that have had bad luck, I have not had the same experience.

Ok, I feel I have been unlucky, but really strangely niave whilst doing my house up.
I am actually really surprised, as I am normally well 'on the ball' and ready for anything, but as in alot of cases I wasn't able to spend 24/7 with the workers I employed to do the house refurb, and now I am having problems....
I employed a handyman instead of a fully flegded builder, as theer was alot of work to be done, but done so structural. Though I did obviousley get a gas safe plumber in for heating and plumbing etc.
The handyman came with his own recommendations that he was a maintenace man for a property company, he was absolutely adamant that he could successfully do the jobs I required and easily within budget.
The guy, started well, but things started to go sloppy when in my opinion maybe teh jobs were to much for him, and he was doing jobs he literally couldnt do, yet wouldnt and didnt tell me, he botched his way through job after job covering the botch ups up as he went, and as i was living 30miles away with my two kids, couldnt be there on site at all times, though I hasten to say I was there every day and for long periods. Still he made hash after hash on my behalf.
Anyway, this started last june, he finished in september and we moved in in october ish, but straight away things began to go wrong, and basically the only things that stayed ok in teh house have been the things that this guy didnt touch -
tiles started parting company fom bathroom walls;
Bath tiles applied so bad as soon as water went in bath the seal would break, and a 'boxed in' sink and loo that upsets me just to look at it, so badly done that one other guy thought a child had done it - I paid him money, cash and cheques, he gave me receipts etc, and he made me feel uncomfortable in my own house whilst he 'worked', I was made to feel an intruder in my own house and that he thought he was in control of the job not me, and because I was straight out of a relationship breakup, I wasnt able to deal with it or see it either -
Now, my eyes are wide open, my head is sorted and I am very annoyed at myself and him for me now having zero monies left, and a botch job, particularly my bathroom, and i cannot afford now even a days pay to a decent builder to redo teh unsightly boxed in sink and toilet -
What can I do??
I have complained to this guy about the bath tiles, he came back yesterday, he redid them - and guess what, theyre so uneven its unreal, my brand new taps were coated in adhesive and if anyonesaw the tiling they would be guaranteed a good shock, its bad!
Now i have told him how bad the boxing in is, even he sort of admits its awful, ive been blunt and direct, and he says yes, he'll be back in a week and a halfs time to redo it, this is what worried me, he can't do good work, thats obvious, he cracks things, scrapes things, burns tiles, breaks things, and thats just 4 starters, it scares me, this is my home, not a building yard now, and hes a botcher, what can i do?? Where do i stand?? Hes redone one job yesterday and made a hash, i cant afford another tradesman, im broke, hes had every penny i had, and more, i feel he owes me at least the cost of a real tradesman to put right the boxing in? Can i demand money back to pay someone else?
Help please, i cant afford the costs and the boxing in is actually sharp and a danger, and i have a two year old.

As the final moments were ticking off the clock at Calvert High School on Thursday night, Northern senior Paul Henry stood on the sidelines and announced, "It's a good day to be a Patriot."
And so it was. And after losing the previous two weeks, Northern needed a good night to get things turned back around.
The visiting Patriots exploded for 37 first-half points and cruised to a 44-18 win in a Southern Maryland Athletic Conference 2A-3A division football contest.
"I feel like the Patriots came out and played an extraordinary game," Henry said. "We were clicking on all cylinders. Defense made stops and the offense scored points. Special teams played a big part. We had a big kick return the first play of the game. It's a good feeling to be back on the winning side."
Through the season's first three weeks, Northern (4-3, 2-2 2A-3A) boasted one of the most prolific offenses in the region, equally adept at moving the ball through the air or on the ground. But the passing game by and large disappeared in weeks four through six, and the Patriots struggled in losing two of those games.
On Thursday night, the explosive early-season offense was back, as Northern quarterback Taylor Wagner and receiver Adam Swann hooked up five times for 121 yards to again show why they looked like one of the most dangerous tandems in the state earlier in the season.
"It's been a few weeks. It's definitely good to get back in the passing game," said Swann, two of whose receptions went for touchdowns. "It's definitely the line protecting, [Wagner] got the ball there. We've been dealing with some rainy games, not that we shouldn't catch the ball in that, but we were struggling. But it was good to get back on the field and get the ball back in the air this game."
Not to be outdone, Austin Howard also rushed for 117 yards and three touchdowns, passing the 1,000-yard plateau in the process.
"It's definitely a huge accomplishment, achieving that," Howard said. "But once again, the offensive line is working so hard. I let them do their job and they let me do my job. I feed off of them."
His offensive line took some pride in the accomplishment, as well.
"Our offensive line comes out every day and executes every day in practice," Northern's Chandler Jackson said. "We execute every day in practice, grinding it out. We have to give props to [Howard], he does make some plays. But I truly believe we could be the best offensive line in SMAC right now. I would put our offensive line against any team right now."
After receiving the opening kickoff, Northern marched 60 yards in eight plays and scored the game's first points on Howard's four-yard touchdown run. The Patriots' next two scores took significantly less time, as Northern's next possession needed just one play for Wagner and Swann to hook up on a 41-yard scoring strike, while Howard ripped off a 54-yard touchdown on the first play of Northern's third possession. With 3 minutes 52 seconds still remaining in the game's opening quarter, the Patriots led Calvert (2-5, 0-3 2A-3A), 22-0.
"We knew we needed to come back strong after the two losses," Wagner said. "The passing game hasn't been too hot the last couple games. We came out strong tonight and kind of got in a rhythm, more than we have the last couple weeks. It felt nice to actually contribute to the team. The rushing game has been amazing all season, but we came back out with the passing game. Adam Swann had a great game. It was nice."
Howard scored his third touchdown early in the second quarter, this time on a 10-yard jaunt, while Wagner and Swann connected on a 21-yard touchdown to cap the first half's scoring and increase Northern's advantage to 37-0 at the break.
After the disappointment of the previous two weeks, losses to Lackey and Thomas Stone, Northern head coach Darren DeMeio was relieved to see his clicking again.
"Our guys came out and had all phases of the game working," he said. "I think we have players in all phases of the game and today we got it back together. It was a fun day."
Bryan Rawlings scored Northern's final touchdown on a 26-yard run in the third quarter. Calvert had previously broken up the shutout on Trayvon Chase's nine-yard touchdown run on its first possession of the second half. Om the fourth, MJ Wallace scored on a 74-yard run, and Leslie Campbell scored the game's final points on a nine-yard reception from Dakota Greening in the game's final minute.
"Northern is a pretty good football club," Calvert head coach Rick Sneade said. "Coach DeMeio has done a pretty nice job of getting that program going and it's testament to [previous Northern] coach [A.J.] Berberian and the program he left."
Calvert will travel to McDonough for a 6:30 p.m. kickoff Friday, squaring off against a Rams team that just earned their first win last week against La Plata.
"We're left with no choice but to get back up and get back in the fight," Sneade said. "That's kind of what the kids illustrated in the second half [against Northern]. They came back out and fought. They didn't quit. It's testament to them and their heart.
"We're left with the choice to get back up and get back into the fight. We'll work one day at a time and see if we can get better for next week."
Northern travels to Leonardtown for a 6 p.m. kickoff Friday in a game that both really needs to win to keep alive hopes for postseason qualification.
Leonardtown, a Class 4A East Region team, defeated Westlake on Saturday. With Westlake also 4-3 and in the 3A South like Northern, that outcome helped strengthen the Patriots' hopes. But with Leonardtown, Mount Saint Joseph and Patuxent left on the dance card, Northern has an arduous road down the stretch.
"We don't have much to think about past next week," DeMeio said. "We have a big game next week. The focus is just to carry over what we did today."

Help something wrong with new smith regulator for mm252
Agree with MMW, I run regs on my migs & flow meter on my Tig.
Don't know how to tell if contaminated gas other than Smith may find it if they inspect the regulators u send back? Just very rare to have 3 bad regulators. Luck like mine :-(
Rings on inlet normally means rebuilt reg. not new.

The needle reading off and not returning to zero may mean that the needle has slipped on the pin it is mounted on. (Sometimes caused by being driven around the the dial until it hits the pin from the other side) The rings on the nipple that attaches to the tank look like a spiral to me which would likely be caused by the tool not being pulled off the piece when it was rolled back at the end of the last cut during its manufacture. If you want to see if their is any foreign material being ejected from the tank tie a few layers of clean white cotton over the valve opening, no regulator attached and CAREFULLY blow some gas though it. It should act as a filter to catch anything other than gas coming out of the tank. Unless there is a whole batch of bad regulators out there you gotta have the worst luck going with regard to regulators. Hope it gets better.---Meltedmetal

1 pound
flank steak, cut into bite-size pieces
1/4 cup
2 teaspoons
olive oil
onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon
minced garlic
3 large
green onions, sliced diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 cup
soy sauce
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
minced fresh ginger root
1/2 cup
hoisin sauce
This was very good. I used round steak that I had on hand and it worked fine. I didn't have any hoisin sauce so I made some. There's not a recipe on this site so here's the recipe for hoisin. 4 Tbsp Soy sauce, 2 Tbsp Peanut butter,1 Tbsp Honey/molasses,2 tsp White vinegar,1/8 tsp Garlic powder, 2 tsp Sesame seed oil, 20 drops Chinese-style hot sauce, 1/8 tsp Pepper. My family said "it's a keeper!
I made the recipe as written, minus half the amount of sugar... it ended up way too salty and the sauce was definitely abundant. I had doubled the recipe and added the onions in when there was only an hour left to cook - that way there was still a little bit of a crunch and the onions were all cooked through. I ended up adding in about a cup of water and some sesame oil to improve the flavor (too much hoisin sauce for me).

this was AWESOME!! word to the wise, its quite sweet, so if you dont like sweet, cut back on the sugar. we loved it!! flank steak was too expensive, so i substituted flap meat and it was so tender.served it over white rice. i also added chili garlic sauce to kick up the heat, maybe 2-3 Tbsp. loved the flavor combo spicy/sweet. thanks for a ridiculously easy and delicious recipe!!!
This was a really good meal. I spread it over a bed of white sticky rice and my wife loved it. Things I may change for the next time I make this: I used Teriyaki Sauce instead of soy (I didn't have soy sauce), so I should reduce the amount of brown sugar. I would also throw in the green and white onions at about 2hrs into cooking so they don't just turn into sauce, I think if they cooked for less time they would add more appeal and substance to the dish. I also added red pepper flakes to spice it up a little, I think I put in about a tablespoon and it was a mild spice.
I doubled the amount of meat but left the sauce amount the same. I used reduced-sodium soy sauce and think next time I'll reduce the amount of soy sauce slightly since it seemed a bit overwhelming taste-wise and left an aftertaste. Followed another reviewer's suggestion to cook 2 hrs. and then add the onion and green onion and cook an additional 2 hrs. and this worked well. I also skipped the pre-browning in a skillet - since the steak is cooked in a very dark brown sauce, no one could tell that it wasn't pre-browned in a skillet. One less pan to wash!
I used a 2 1/2 lb flank steak so I doubled the sauce, which was probably not necessary since there was so much in the end. I only added half the brown sugar called for and it was still very sweet. I also added a couple of tablespoons of asian chili sauce to give it some heat and saved the green onions until it was almost done. I thought it was excellent! Served with white rice and green beans.
This was amazing! My son made it for dinner. we did double the meat and there was plenty of sauce for it. Its very tasty...We ate it over rice and had stir fry on the side. not really spicy so if you want some heat you need to add it.
I made this for dinner yesterday, the flank steak was too pricey so I found some thin sliced top sirloin which work fabulously. The meat was very tender, I did though cook 2 pounds instead of 1 and for some reason the hoisin sauce seemed to overpower the soy sauce and as one reviewer mentioned it was too much brown sugar, even for 2 pounds of beef. Overall it was close to the Mongolian beef I like at the Chinese restaurant. The next time I will try to add a little Chinese five spice....

This article presents answers to a number of frequently asked questions about forensic casework sample processing on the Maxwell® 16 Instrument.
DNA yield from a forensic sample is a composite effect of two separate processes: extraction of a biological sample from a substrate and isolation of DNA from the extracted material. Screening a large number of sample types identified several samples (primarily panels of commercially available fabrics) that exhibit a much lower DNA yield, which was attributed to extraction using the Tissue and Hair Extraction Kit (Cat.# DC6740). Further investigation revealed a single reagent that restored the expected yield from these sample types
. In this way, the success rate of extraction was improved for a broad panel of sample types. Thus, the Casework Extraction Kit can be used in lieu of Tissue and Hair Extraction Kit for the majority of casework sample types, including many fabrics and swabs. However, there continues to be specific materials that may negatively affect the performance of DNA IQ™ chemistry
. As an added benefit, I noticed that the new reagent routinely improved the yield for the overwhelming majority of sample types tested, as measured by DNA quantitation using the Plexor® HY System and signal intensity in downstream STR amplification.
With the introduction of the Casework Extraction Kit (Cat.# DC6745), there are three changes that were made to the extraction of samples from solid supports.
One microliter of blood was dried on a panel of swabs overnight, then extracted in various volumes of Extraction Buffer, as indicated. After extraction, the total volume of Extraction Buffer was brought up to 400µl to ensure constant conditions in the subsequent DNA-binding steps, the solid support was removed using a DNA IQ™ Spin Basket, 200µl of Lysis Buffer was added and the sample lysate was added to well 1 of the DNA IQ™ Casework Pro cartridge. DNA from the resulting eluates was quantified using Plexor® HY System to estimate DNA yield. N = 8 for each treatment set.
The Maxwell® 16 High Strength LEV Magnetic Rod and Plunger Bar Adaptor (Cat.# SP1070) reduces residual resin in the LEV Cartridge and efficiently removes resin from eluted DNA at the end of each run. Research performed at Promega has demonstrated no improvement in DNA yield with the DNA IQ™ Casework Pro Kit for Maxwell® 16 in combination with the Maxwell® 16 High Strength LEV Magnetic Rod and Plunger Bar Adaptor. Multiple experiments were performed to support this conclusion.
The previous recommendation was that the DNA IQ™ Lysis Buffer should constitute two-thirds of the total volume at the DNA-binding step to support efficient binding of DNA to the DNA IQ™ Resin. During development of the Casework Extraction Buffer, this original recommendation was revisited, and experiments showed that there is no difference in isolation efficiency when following the original recommendation (two-thirds of the total volume) and the current recommendation (one-half of the total volume) with regards to the DNA IQ™ Lysis Buffer. Based on extensive experimentation, the recommendations were updated in the DNA IQ™ Casework Pro Kit for Maxwell® 16 Technical Manual #TM332 for both liquid samples and samples on solid supports to add 200µl of DNA IQ™ Lysis Buffer to each sample to maintain proper binding conditions throughout isolation.
The preprocessing recommendations were changed to extract forensic samples, but the core DNA isolation chemistry has remained unchanged for more than a decade. The DNA IQ™ chemistry is well known for producing DNA characteristically low in inhibitors and impurities that might affect downstream amplification. During development of the Casework Extraction Kit, the purity and performance of DNA isolated from various sample types was assessed using the DNA IQ™ Casework Pro Kit for Maxwell® 16 through varied means. The Plexor® HY internal positive control (IPC) results were monitored to detect impurities that inhibit amplification. Samples were tested for residual alcohols from the isolation method. "Reagent blank" samples that did not contain a biological sample were extracted, then co-amplified with a known amount of a DNA sample in a quantitative PCR method (Plexor® HY System) or an endpoint PCR method (PowerPlex® 16 System). These results then were compared to results generated with the same DNA sample co-amplified with a volume of elution buffer (that was not processed using the DNA IQ™ Casework Pro for Maxwell® 16 cartridge). The results pointed to a clean isolation process optimized for use in downstream amplification.
Finally, a large panel of samples were extracted to show that if we could obtain a DNA concentration value from the Plexor® HY System, we could use this information to generate full profiles using an STR multiplex (PowerPlex® 16 HS System). In this way, the Casework Extraction Kit not only resulted in a higher DNA yield, as measured with the Plexor® HY System, but generated full STR profiles from a broad panel of sample types, representative of the sample types likely to be encountered in the field.

The theme of the first round was graphics from The Graphics Fairy. Let me just say I LOVE the Graphics Fairy. When I saw the first challenge was to use one of her amazing graphics, I was thrilled. My biggest problem was narrowing down all of the options! But since I have been obsessing about using arrows in design lately, I decided to find a great arrow graphic and pair it with a yard sale find from my stash in the basement.
I picked up these dirty, beige lockers this past summer at a yard sale for five bucks. I love the industrial, vintage vibe lockers can give a space and I even have a great set of lockers in my bedroom that I redid earlier this year. But these guys were pretty blah to begin with. They didn't even have numbers! I knew the right graphic could really add some major style. I found the perfect arrow on an old weathervane graphic.

Of course, I had to make the arrow huge to work on these lockers. I unrolled a loooong section of contact paper the same height as the lockers and drew my arrow design onto it free-hand. I then used an exacto knife to cut out the design. After spray-painting the lockers white, I stuck my contact paper stencil on the front and stencilled on the arrow design with some pretty turquoise paint.
From blah and beige to tons of personality.
Now I am off in search of more lockers (Can you have too many?) and more ways to design using arrows. Has anyone else used an arrow design on a project? Or seen any great arrows lately? If so maybe you can point me toward them. (Sorry – I just couldn't stop myself on that one).

The Polar Loop
How do I START using Polar Loop?
To start using Polar Loop, you need to go to the Polar Flow web service:
- Plug in your Polar Loop to your computer�s USB port with the cable that came in the box.
- Download and install Polar FlowSync, the syncing software that you need for communication between your computer, the Polar Flow web service and Polar Loop.
- Create a Polar account in the Polar Flow web service (if you don�t already have one) and set up your Polar Loop.
- Trim the Polar Loop band to fit your wrist.
Put it on and start tracking your activity.
Getting Started with Polar Loop
What is the SIZING of Polar Loop?
You can trim your Polar Loop to perfectly fit for your wrist. Guidelines and the measurement tool are included in the sales package.
The minimum circumference is 145 mm or 5.7 inch (XS).
The maximum circumference is 235 mm or 9.3 inch (XL).
What if I trim the bracelet TOO SHORT for my wrist?
Contact Polar Customer Care or the place where you bought it within one month of the purchase date to have it serviced for free.
Make Polar Loop fit your wrist
Can we SHARE one Polar Loop within our family?
Polar Loop is designed to be your personal activity tracker. It�s trimmed to fit your wrist and the individual activity guidance it gives you is based on your physical settings. It works at its best with one person at a time. If you want to change the user, you can do a Factory reset. Just plug in Polar Loop to your computer�s USB port and reset it in Polar FlowSync. Please note, you cannot make the band longer if you�ve already trimmed it.
How do I CHANGE THE TIME on my Polar Loop?
The time display view on Polar Loop comes from your computer�s clock automatically. To change the time, you must first change the time on your computer and then sync your Polar Loop. You can also change the time format (12h or 24h) in the Polar Flow web service. If you change the time on your mobile device and sync the Polar Flow app with the Polar Flow web service and your Polar Loop, the time also changes on your activity tracker.
How does Polar Loop TRACK YOUR ACTIVITY?
An internal 3D accelerometer records your wrist movements. It analyses the frequency, intensity and irregularity of your movements together with your physical information, and guides you to reach your daily activity goal. It also displays your activity in steps and calories.
What sorts of ACTIVITIES are TRACKED?
Polar Loop tracks all activities 24/7 from light chores to intense sports and sitting and resting. If you wear it at night, it also tracks your sleep. You can also see the time you�ve taken off your activity tracker. You can view and share this data in the Polar Flow web service. Like other activity trackers, Polar Loop is sensitive to movements and it does not track load carried, uphill risen or force used in strength training, for example. Heart rate sensor is sensitive in these conditions, too.
What is ACTIVITY BENEFIT and what is it based on?
Activity benefit is one of Polar�s Smart Coaching features that gives you information about long-term health benefits and detailed feedback about your activity, including active time and sitting time. The feedback is based on international guidelines and research on the health effects of physical activity and sitting behavior. You will see your activity benefit in the Polar Flow web service or mobile app.
What sort of ACTIVITY can be defined in the UP CATEGORY?
UP category activities can be every-day activities or light physical low intensity activities that you do up on your feet like light household chores, gardening, baking, playing pool, slow walk or tai chi.
What are INACTIVITY ALERTS and why do I get them?
If you have been sitting still for one hour at a time, you will get an Inactivity Alert for every hour if you are only sitting still. They are reminds reminders for you to get up and take a short walk or do some other light activity to benefit your daily health. Sitting still for extended periods at a time is not good for your health. You can turn the alerts off in the Polar Flow mobile app. Just go to Settings -> Notifications -> Inactivity alerts -> Off. You can also check the total amount of inactivity alerts from the Polar Flow web service.
Can I CHANGE my DAILY ACTIVITY GOAL?
The daily activity goal is based on your physical settings and your typical day. You can change them in the Polar Flow web service. If you feel you need a more challenging goal, and your current typical day choice is Mostly sitting, you can change the typical day to Mostly standing or Mostly moving, for instance.
Why do I need to select a TYPICAL DAY? How does it affect my daily goal?
When you make this choice, Polar Loop can evaluate how much energy you consume daily and how it affects your metabolism. If you choose Mostly sitting, Polar Loop gives you the lowest Activity goal. Then again, with Mostly standing the goal will be a little higher, and with Moving as the highest. The Mostly standing, and Moving choices, can also be selected by more active people to get some more challenge.
Where does the DAILY TARGET come from?
The daily target arises from global physical activity recommendations for moderate and vigorous intensity activities, and research findings on the negative health effects of sedentary behavior. In fact, the daily target may slightly exceed most recommendations - in addition to one hour of moderate intensity activity the low intensity activity also plays an important role. The targeted amount of low intensity activity varies based on your typical day: an office worker is expected to reach about four hours of low intensity during an ordinary day while more hours can be expected if an ordinary day includes a lot of standing or moving work.
In a novel but very understandable way, the intensity limits for low/medium/high intensities depend on age and gender - the older and women reach their target with lower intensity compared to the younger and men. You fill in your typical day, age and gender when you start using the activity tracker in the Polar Flow web service.
What do the DIFFERENT TO GO TARGET READINGS mean?
With the TO GO options, Polar Loop tells you how you can reach your daily activity goal: first, you see the activity type and then the duration of how long you should perform the activity to reach that goal. For example, Polar Loop may give you the options JOG for 46 minutes, WALK for 1 hour 46 minutes, or UP for 5 hours 56 minutes. You don�t need to perform all of them, only one activity or a combination of them. The more active you are throughout the day, the shorter the duration of each activity becomes. The duration is longer with low intensity activities and shorter with high intensity activities.
- JOG stands for high intensity activity like jogging, exercise class, rope skipping, basketball, tennis, handball or squash.
- WALK stands for medium intensity activity like brisk walking, mowing the lawn, circuit training, bowling, skateboarding, gentle dancing, gentle swimming or table tennis.
- UP stands for low intensity activity up on your feet like cleaning, washing dishes, gardening, playing guitar, baking, playing pool, slow walk, playing darts or tai chi.
For more examples, see the Polar Flow web service or mobile app.
How does Polar Loop TRACK STEPS?
A 3D digital acceleration sensor measures your wrist movement. The frequency, intensity and irregularity of your movements are registered and utilized in the estimation of steps. Therefore you�ll accumulate steps even if you�re swimming for instance and not actually taking steps at all.
How are the STEPS accumulated if I wear my Polar Loop on my dominant hand?
You will get a bigger steps reading because your dominant hand naturally will do many more small moves compared to your non-dominant hand in every-day chores.
Polar Loop is designed to be worn on your non-dominant wrist. If your left wrist if you are right-handed, and vice versa. In higher intensities e.g. walking and running, there should not be a difference, however.
Why do I get MORE STEPS even though I�m not moving? While driving a car, for example?
Polar Loop updates the steps reading once a minute. You can take a lot of steps in one minute and notice the reading change quite a bit later. For example your activity before entering the car could be added by the time you check your steps reading. If you wear Polar Loop in your dominant hand, you will get more steps because the dominant hand is moving more when you are not taking actual steps.
How does Loop TRACK CALORIES?
Polar Loop displays your total caloric consumption, which includes both basic metabolism and activity-based calories. If you train with a compatible heart rate sensor, Polar Loop utilizes activity based calories at resting, sedentary and low intensities, and heart rate based calories at moderate and high intensities. Your physical details filled in the Polar Flow web service are used to make the calories tracking accurate to you.
How can it already show my CALORIES if I just started your it?
The daily activity calories that Polar Loop shows take into account your basic metabolism and the physical settings you filled in in the Polar Flow web service. Every bodily function takes effort, so your body burns calories even if you haven't accumulated any activity during the day. The displayed amount of calories has been calculated for the day you started using Polar Loop. The activity tracking resets at 0:00/midnight.
Does Polar Loop TRACK CYCLING accurately?
Activity trackers with accelerometers worn on your body or wrist are not ideal for cycling and weight training activities. In cycling Polar Loop will underestimate the amount of activity performed. If you wear a compatible Polar heart rate sensor, like H6 or H7, with your Polar Loop, you'll get more accurate information about your cycling and also get comprehensive heart rate training analysis.
Which HEART RATE SENSORS are COMPATIBLE with Polar Loop?
Polar Loop is compatible with Polar H6 and H7 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensors. We cannot guarantee compatibility with other manufacturers' heart rate sensors at this time.
Can I USE my heart rate sensor TOGETHER with Polar Beat and Polar Loop?
Polar Loop and Polar Beat are compatible with Polar H6 and H7 Bluetooth Smart heart rate sensors. You can use the same sensor with both of them, but not at the same time. You must have at least a two two-minute break between the sessions, so that you can pair it with another device.
Connecting a Heart Rate Sensor with Polar Loop
My Polar Loop doesn't show my HEART BEAT. Why?
Make sure that:
- You're wearing a heart rate sensor that works with Polar Loop: either Polar H6 or H7 Bluetooth Smart.
- The electrode areas of the heart rate sensor strap are moistened.
- The heart rate sensor is correctly paired with Polar Loop: put on the sensor, bring your Polar Loop next to it and tap the touch button. Wait for the PAIRED text to scroll on the display. You only need to pair the sensor once. From now on, just wear the heart rate sensor, tap the button and wait for your heart rate to show up on the screen.
- The heart rate sensor is not in contact with any other devices via Bluetooth.
- Your Polar Loop is not in Flight mode. See the online user manual for details.
How does Polar Loop TRACK MY ACTIVITY if I use it together WITH a HEART RATE SENSOR?
Polar Loop tracks your moves and accumulates your active time. With a heart rate sensor, it gives you even more information about your training, such as heart rate in beats per minute and the main effect of your training; whether it�s burning fat or improving fitness. Also, you can track your cycling sessions much more accurately.
When you wear a heart rate sensor, it shows up in the Polar Flow web service as a training session after you've synced your data.
How is NIGHT�S SLEEP TIME calculated, what is it based on? Do I need to activate a sleep mode?
No, you don�t need to activate sleep mode. Based on your wrist movements Polar Loop estimates when you are sleeping. Sleep time is calculated from the longest continuous rest time of the 24 hours from 18:00/6pm to 18:00/6pm. (To be precise, the wake-up time needs to be found within the time period.)
You can view your sleep times in the Polar Flow web service or in the Polar Flow mobile app.
Why does the LED light up when I'm taking a SHOWER or SWIMMING?
Polar Loop has a capacitive touch button that reacts to water as well as to a human touch. No need to worry though, your Polar Loop is water-resistant and can be worn during swimming and showering.
How do I TRANSFER DATA from my Polar Loop to the Polar Flow web service?
You can transfer data from your Polar Loop via USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart with the Polar Flow app. Every time you plug in your Polar Loop to your computer, the Polar FlowSync software will transfer your data to the Polar Flow web service and sync any settings you may have changed in the service. The Polar FlowSync software must be running on your computer�s taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac OS X) for the automatic sync to work. If you use the Polar Flow mobile app, you can sync your data automatically with the web service by opening the app and tapping the touch button. The automatic sync takes place in the background once an hour.
How often do I need to SYNC?
For example, Polar Loop has the memory capacity to store either 12 days of activity and 4 one-hour training sessions with a heart rate sensor or 7 days of activity and 8 one-hour training sessions. Training sessions are recorded when you wear a compatible heart rate sensor. You will get a MEM. FULL warning when the memory capacity reaches 80%. When the memory becomes full, the oldest activity data is overwritten by the most recent activity data.
Why should I UPDATE the Polar Loop software? What happens when I do that with Polar FlowSync?
To get the best out of your Polar Loop and to keep it up-to-date, we recommend always using the latest version of the firmware. If new updates for Polar Loop are available, Polar FlowSync will automatically prompt you to update it. When you start the update, Polar FlowSync will sync all your activity data with the Polar Flow web service first. It will then update the Polar Loop software, which will erase all the activity data from the bracelet. For this reason the Polar Flow mobile app and Polar Loop may show incomplete activity data for this day, but not to worry, all your activity data is added up in the Polar Flow web service: it combines the activity data from before and after the software update.
Can I USE ONE COMPUTER to sync SEVERAL Polar Loops?
Yes, every Polar Loop is tied to one Polar account. You will sign in to your own user account in Polar Flow when you sync your own Polar Loop.
How do I TRANSFER DATA from my Polar Loop to the Polar Flow web service?
You can transfer data from your Polar Loop via USB cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth Smart with the Polar Flow app. Every time you plug in your Polar Loop to your computer, the Polar FlowSync software will transfer your data to the Polar Flow web service and sync any settings you may have changed in the service. The Polar FlowSync software must be running on your computer�s taskbar (Windows) or menu bar (Mac OS X) for the automatic sync to work. If you use the Polar Flow mobile app, you can sync your data automatically with the web service by opening the app and tapping the touch button. The automatic sync takes place in the background once an hour.
Where can I find the Polar FLOWSYNC software?
www.flow.polar.com/loop to install Polar FlowSync software
When INSTALLING Polar FlowSync my computer is asking me to restart. What do I need to do?
You don't need to restart your computer right away. Click Later and continue with the installation and sync your Polar Loop.
I CAN�T SEE Polar Loop in Polar FlowSync and can't continue the setup. What do I need to do?
Try one of these options:
- Unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in and try again.
- Restart Polar FlowSync and try again.
- Try another USB port in your computer.
How do I RESET my Polar Loop?
You can do a Factory reset on your Polar Loop. It removes Polar Loop�s connection to your user account and deletes any saved data on it. Plug in your Polar Loop to your computer�s USB port and go to Polar FlowSync software, click Settings and Factory Reset. If you want to continue using Polar Loop, go back to the Polar Flow web service and repeat what you did when you first started using the product.
My Polar Loop display DOESN�T WAKE UP even if I press the touch button. What should I do?
Make sure you�ve connected the activity tracker with your computer and completed the setup before starting to use it.
Wear Polar Loop on your wrist or place your finger on the custom USB cable connector and then touch the button.
Check that the battery is not empty: connect Polar Loop to a computer or a wall charger with the USB cable.
If the Polar Loop button is wet, has steam or frost on it, it will probably respond to your touch with less sensitivity than in dry indoor conditions. Instead of a quick forefinger touch, you may have to use your thumb to cover more surface. You may also have to wait until the surface has dried off completely.
It�s also possible that if you�ve not worn or used your Polar Loop for a long time, it might take a while for the button to start working. In that case, wear the activity tracker on your wrist for some time and try again later.
Which MOBILE PHONES are COMPATIBLE with Polar Loop?
Polar Loop's optional mobile companion, the Polar Flow app, is compatible only with Apple�s iPhones, starting with iPhone 4S. Polar Loop communicates wirelessly with the Polar Flow mobile app via Bluetooth Smart, which is currently available for iPhone 4S and newer.

For West Asset Management, a debt collection firm with 1,500 employees in 13 states, harassment by telephone was the business model, says the Federal Trade Commission.
See also: How can I stop junk mail?
Answer the phone and you'd be subject to cursing and false threats of arrest, wage garnishment or seizure of property by self-described attorneys. Hang up and instantly, there was another call. Don't answer and your phone kept ringing.
At Unicredit America, faking up a courtroom was the preferred tactic. According to the office of the Pennsylvania Attorney General, employees dressed as sheriff's deputies hand-delivered dubious subpoenas ordering at least 370 frightened people to its office in Erie, Pa. — which was done up as a courtroom with other employees posing as judge and bailiffs.
California-based collector Rumson, Bolling & Associates, meanwhile, used outright threats of violence, reports the FTC. Unless paid, its employees vowed to kill alleged debtors and their pets. To rape their mothers. And on at least two occasions, to desecrate the bodies of the deceased children of debtors owing on funeral bills.
What is it with debt collectors? Most of the 450,000 employees at the nation's 4,100 agencies, in the words of their trade association president, are "salt of the earth" who play by the rules in their difficult task: trying to collect an overdue $150 billion that's owed in this tough economy to businesses ranging from huge banks and utilities to mom-and-pop florists and veterinarians.
But others — plenty of them, judging by the more than 140,000 consumer complaints to the FTC in 2010 (27 percent of all complaints filed, the most for any single industry) — rely on lies, harassment and extortion to get money.
West Asset Management, which paid a $2.8 million settlement to the FTC, and the parent company of Rumson, Bolling & Associates declined to comment on the FTC's charges. Michael Covatto, president of now-defunct Unicredit, could not be reached for comment.
Low risk, high rewards
What motivates rogues to violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the federal law that dictates what collectors can and can't do?
"Because the incentives are high, and penalties so low, there's much more money to be made with threats and shaking people down," says journalist Fred Williams, who spent three months as a debt collector for a Buffalo, N.Y., agency before writing the book Fight Back Against Unfair Debt Collection Practices.

Gabourey Sidibe arrives at Jimmy Kimmel's wedding ready to walk down the aisle! (Splash News)
So, what did she do to earn this (obviously coveted) position?
She arrived at Jimmy Kimmel's nuptials dressed as a bride. Yes, you read that correctly. Clad in a flowing white gown complete with a veil and carrying a green parasol to block the sun, Sidibe made a grand entrance to the ceremony in Ojai, California. To complete her bridal look, she even had a friend holding her train as she exited her black Escalade limo and headed up the stone path.
[Related: Jimmy Kimmel's Star-Studded Wedding]
Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney (Splash News)
Not surprisingly, both the "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host and his real bride, Molly McNearney (who probably has a pretty solid sense of humor herself considering she's the head writer on her husband's show) took the prank in stride.
Kimmel welcomed Sidibe with open arms and a wide smile during the lavish outdoor reception following the main event. For her part, McNearney looked radiant and relaxed on her big day. What's more, she seemed to laugh off Sidibe's little stunt, which, come to think of it, makes her pretty awesome as well.
Only time will tell if Gabourey can top this prank, but as of now one thing is for sure: Jimmy Kimmel is one lucky (funny) guy.
