Preserve consulted closely with dental professionals to create a toothbrush that gets your teeth cleaner but minimizes your impact on the environment. The design includes a curved handle for those hard-to-reach places and a three-level bristle arrangement to massage your gums. And while the bristles are brand new, the handle is made from recycled yogurt cups.
The Mail Back Pack is a revolutionary approach to packaging. The lightweight package doubles as a return envelope. Just pop your used Preserve toothbrush inside and send it back to them for recycling (their dentist friends recommend replacing your brush every three months!).

Great pair of earphones
Pros: Great noise cancellation, wonderful bass
Cons: earbuds are not comfortable
I really like this earphone because it gives you wonderful sound quality at a reasonable cost. When I started listening to all the songs on my laptop with this earphone and also all of the smooth jazz, it was as if the whole world was cut off because of the noise cancellation. I use it on the airplane and I couldnt hear the tons of babies that were on the plane .
I tried it with three different devices ( mac book pro . galaxy tab and galaxy s3 phone ) and each had excellent results.
It comes with a really good earphone puch with idfferent size buds. The buds get a little uncomfortable after a while.
Definitely buy if this is your first pair of expensive earphones

|Vermont Ski Furniture
Most likely you have seen those chairs or tables made out of old skis but did you know that there is a company in Vermont that makes those products?
Vermont Ski Recyclers is a 12 year old, Morrisville Vermont company making furniture from outdated ski equipment that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill.
The furntiture is often used indoors but naturally the skis can hold up to many many years of outdoor use.

|Mad River Rocket Sled: Well Named
I ran into a friend and fellow innkeeper yesterday who very enthusiastically told me he had just purchased a Mad River Rocket sled. As he said, the product is well named and the emphasis should be on the word "Rocket."
I should explain that this guy is over 50 years old and not what anyone would call a wild man! But he had attended a demo put on by Waitsfield VT outfitter Clearwater Sports and had such a great time, he bought one of the sleds. I've heard of other people doing the same thing. The sled may look like a young person's toy but its appeal is much broader. Its reputation is growing too. I think the product is only a few years old but its popularity in this part of Vermont is strong. Everyone I know who has tried it has had a great time. They are fun to ride and easy to control.
Mad River Rockets sleds come in five models, range in price from $50 to $275, and are made in the USA just down the road a few minutes from me in Warren VT. You can buy on the web site or click a link to one of the retailers listed there.
When you are at the web site, be sure to see The Stash photo gallery for great photos of the sleds at Ranier, Utah, Italy, Germany.
Here is the best way to give this a try. Rent a Mad River Rocket sled at Clearwater Sports in Waitsfield VT for just $12 and have them give you directions to Lincoln Gap Road about 15 minutes drive from the store. This road is closed to car traffic in winter and provides a long, thrilling ride. Take a look at some YouTube video here and here to see how the sleds operate and how much fun they are.

|Hammerhead: the Vermont-made High Tech Extreme Sled
It is interesting to see how geography and weather affects life. In a place where there is much snow and many hills, even leisure activities like sledding can get serious after a while.
Evidence of this is the Hammerhead, a full-out sled for those who want to see how far sledding can go. The company is located in the central Vermont town of Ferrisburgh, south of Burlington about midway to Middlebury. The sled is recommended for people at least ten years of age and is really designged with adult size sled drivers in mind. It measures 51" long x 9" tall x 23" wide.
The company has an outstanding quality website loaded with information right down to a link to the website of an industrial design consulting firm that helped develop the Hammerhead.
There is a very good review of the sled by Ken Picard on the Seven Days newspaper. The opening paragraph of that review actually summarizes the sled well: "Combine the operational simplicity of a downhill sled with the 21st-century engineering of a snowboard and the lightweight durability of a modern snowshoe, and what do you get? A sled that handles like a Ferrari and moves with nearly as much speed."
Also see the Find A Hill database submitted by the public at large in different states describing their favorite sledding hills.
The retail price is around $300. Yes, it's a lot for a sled but considering you will be going as fast as a rocket, it's a ton cheaper than rocket fuel. You should also budget a helmet and some protective gear in case your sledding hill has trees.
When you are in Vermont, check some of the local outdoor outfitters to see if you can rent one. I know Umiak Outfitters in Stowe rents them and they can also direct you to some local sledding hills (I like the one behind the Stowe elementary school).
There is another great sled made in Vermont called the Mad River Rocketsled and I'll post an entry about them soon too.

|Dog Sled Rides
Here's something your friends, neighbors, and co-workers probaly haven't done: take a dog sled ride! There are several in our north central Vermont area and no doubt there are others throughout VT. I have not compiled a list of these yet but you can ask the lodging extablishment where you plan to stay.
By way of example, I got an email today from Rob Farley at October Siberians who was excited about the fact that we now have enough snow for him to start up his dog sled rides. He has rides in some great areas including Little River State Park in Waterbury, Mount Mansfield State Forest in Stowe, as well as South Lincoln and Ripton Vermont. Rob has links to detailed trip descriptions on his web site. He's flexible with his trips and is happy to work with you on creating a special trip plan if you wish.
The base rate is $250 for two people on a six to seven mile trip.

|Ice Bar at the Stowe Winter Carnival
The Stowe Winter Carnival is this coming weekend, Jan 19 - 21. One of the things you should make a note to see there is the ice bar being built next to Stowe's best known bar/nightclub, The Rusty Nail. It is located on Route 108, also called Mountain Road, the main road from the village out to the ski area.
About 20 tons of ice blocks are being used to build the 25 foot bar plus ice tables and chairs, two person ice throne, and a liquor luge (whatever that is) all inside eight foot tall ice walls. This bar was inspired by the winter carnival ice bars of Quebec, the Canadian province that shares a border with Vermont.
Here is a link to the Stowe Reporter newspaper which last week featured a front page photograph of the ice bar under construction. This link will be outdated in a few days when the next issue of the newspaper comes out. If you would like to see how the Quebecois do it, go to this link about the amazing Ice Hotel in Quebec City.

MARCH AIR RESERVE BASE EXCHANGE, Calif. – Military shoppers at the March Exchange probably do not give a second thought as to which credit card to use at checkout. What they may not be aware of, is the use of bank-issued cards at the Exchange ultimately costs the military community millions annually.
Last year alone, bank-issued card processing expenses at the March Exchange facilities sapped more than $83,000 from the Exchange and critical funds that could have been used for morale, welfare and recreation programs.
One way military families can help reduce costs and strengthen their Exchange benefit is to take advantage of the Exchange's exclusive MILITARY STAR® Card. Unlike bank cards, profits generated from the MILITARY STAR® Card are shared with military communities through contributions to the military service's quality-of-life funds.
"Using the MILITARY STAR® Card is one of the easiest ways for troops to directly impact their Exchange and morale, welfare and recreation benefits," said Stephanie Kuykendall-Bernstein, General Manager, March Exchange. "Reducing these unnecessary expenses can go a long way in making March a better place to work and live."
The MILITARY STAR® Card is accepted at all Army and Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard Exchange activities, as well as the Exchange Catalog and the Exchange Online store at www.shopmyexchange.com.
Authorized exchange shoppers can learn more about the MILITARY STAR® Card by visiting www.shopmyexchange.com and clicking "Credit Services."

Is the education crysis a political or cultural problem?
There is a global problem with the education system. Since education plays such a vital part in human development it invevitably plays a vital part in society.
The development of educational programs may be developed by education commities, but the end result is usualy "ajusted" and "contidioned" by politicians, is this the main obstacle that education faces? or does the Lack of cultural conditions, in the form of a industry oriented society, present itself as a even bigger issue?
Susan Volk
May 14 2013: I believe it is both and more.
- +2
I see the "alternative" solution being a variety of schools to teach a variety of learners.
School #1: for the students that thrive at a desk, learning from text, work sheets, lectures, and standardized testing, let them have the existing school system that works.
School#2 (and I know there are some out there): for the student that wants to learn LA/SS, science, math, music, visual and performing arts and other disciplines through an arts infused school. I am an art teacher and continually teach students how to measure, learn proportions, the science of light and mixing colors, think/speak/write about what they see in a piece of art, (musical score/play for the other arts) etc....
School#3: an outdoor school set up to teach all the disciplines (including the arts of course) where a student can learn physics by climbing a tree and dropping something to measure/test gravity; build a sling shot to teach engineering, design and physics, as well as paint or draw outdoors (plein air), dig up the earth to discover what's below....
School#4 and more...love to hear about them
The lessons are endless that can be taught in any of the above environments. However, I see these schools/environments as having to be physically separate/different schools with teachers that fit best with the environment. Logistically they could be housed in the same building, but need to have a distinction btw them.
In most cases, if the teacher (or professional) is an expert in their subject matter, they could most likely teach at any one of the above schools. A teacher would probably be more inspiring if they selected the type of school they would like to teach at...and maybe move around these schools throughout their career. It would definitely keep me interested in learning more about what I am teaching.
This kind of educational revolution would call for a new process politically and economically, as well as culturally with a focus on our students.Jun 2 2013: I consider it could be a demograpy problem. It seems that today the education system is partly designed to make kids do someting.This "doing something" is to occupate their time for them not to become some anti-social characters. In combination with a need for a qualified workforce that's why it could be considered a political problem.
However education is not just about geting knowledge and occupying time. It is also about socialisation! It might be that good education is not only about knowledge, but about communication and shating ideas. If we are to modernize educational system in a way to cut costs and increase knowledge it is possiable to promote internet-based education. But it won't promote team work and communication as a traditional education. That's why it is a cultural problem.May 21 2013: I'm not very politically knowledgeable, but I can speak toward the cultural aspect of your question. I believe that part of the education crisis in the US is due to culture. I think this is partly reflected in the entertainment industry. The most famous people in the US are movie stars, artists (of music), and athletes. Kids grow up seeing these people on TV most of the time and hearing these people on the radios, instead of the role models that they should be seeing and hearing. Sure, there is PBS, History Channel, National Georgraphic, and others, but the vast majority of TV is dedicated to the entertainment industry. This is understandable, but I think at least one of two things happen: 1. Parents or some other source should warn their children that the entertainers aren't the only people who succeed in life. Fame isn't everything and shouldn't even be a goal; 2. Have education and TED-related channels contain a larger portion of the entertainment industry. Kids are learning that they don't have to learn to succeed. They just have to be talented.
Sorry if I restated someone's idea.
Lawrence Cox
May 14 2013: I believe it is political. But I'm not just talking about politicians. I'm talking about power, and the struggle for it.
- +1
The game of politics is not only played by politicians! If you don't realize that, you need to go back and study your history better.
There are many players in the game of politics. They include the people who are "in power" right now, and all the others who have been and want it back, and others who haven't been yet and want some. There are also the criminals, who play the game around its edges. They have ALWAYS been there, too, and sometimes they get into "official" positions in government or business.
There are a lot of these players who want workers - preferably slaves - so why should you have a "good" education system that makes everyone more able and self-confident? That's the problem. There is a lot of political pressure to NOT make better schools.May 13 2013: Probally both. In the USA President Carter made education a cabnet post and at that point education moved from focused on the student to the board room / administration / command and control / etc ... As the government and unions moved in the parents and the community were pushed out. This has continued until today where we in the USA must do the governments bidding or lose all funding. In the USA Arne Duncan (Secretary of Education) has stated he wants all textbooks, syllabus, tests, to be developed and administered by the government. The government has added requirements that have taken all options from the teachers and made teaching the test the only focus.
To say that it is ALL the governments fault would be wrong. WE THE PEOPLE have allowed this to occur. We have elected and re-elected people into offrice that made no pretense that it was their intention to socialize the country and control the population through big government and elite leadership that is prevelant in socialist and communist regimes.
In our local school system the board room was filled every meeting for years ... now only those who have a interest in a particular item being discussed attend. Between the state and local government .. few decisions are left to the community / school board. Funding is the focus of most all meetings and conversations within the school system. Parent / teacher meetings are a requirement .. just a check mark to meet a need ... little is accomplished because the locals have so little control to make changes.
Answer: The culture (us) have allowed the politicians to take all control and decisions to their level with only voting left as a input.
The US has become more divided in recent years ... control more pervenant ... class wars ... racial issues ... and the irresponsibility of the media. We have become to like the taste of koolade and drink it as a choice.
I wish you well. Bob.Jun 8 2013: Politicians are a reflection of us.
A culture by definition is a confluence of agreements, they are the initial introduction to education. It is true that a person is responsible for his own education but the culture pushes a person in a direction.
When politics gets involved it is a negative feed back loop of the nanny state that effects the culture. This is sad to hear from a person who is writing from Chile.Jun 8 2013: The answer is simple.....it's a PERSONAL problem.
It's not about education, it's about LEARNING.
And learning is personal.May 26 2013: Both simply.
Education has become the idea of 8-hour days in a building, which functions outside of the parental and communal guidance of society.
The very real resolution to this problem would be if parents and communities boycotted the schools until the system became better. In the time of a boycott, parents could put together funds to allow other parents to take turn giving lessons and teaching basic skills. This model of teaching (parents teaching other children, and children learning from other parents) would do well for the time implemented. A parent has the 'responsibility' installed with their status (necessary for attention-taking), but would still not be their parent (depending on community's set-up of model) and can still not feel as 'under the gun' or under-pressure to excel in the lesson.
We are society, we are the difference between effective change and being told what is changing. We lost that somewhere, we lost the realization we are more than just bodies but societies, at least most of us have, and need to get it back. Just like technology, which is USUALLY invented to aid and assist the human condition, we must put efforts into into using technology to invent new ways to teach the inventors and aids (our future).
Let's put this in another perspective: In America a new history text book is over 200 dollars, now we have kindle tablets which cost nearly the same.... If we can afford to put a handheld laptop in every childs hand, but cannot afford to reevaluate our entire education system... We are doomed to fail.
Ger Lou
May 26 2013: The education crisis is the result of the culture of elevating mediocrity. As a result of this culture, the politics as become the ole driving force in education. The lack of accountability and ownership from the parents has placed the name on teachers and schools. In my 15 years of teaching, I have seen a pattern of reform based on money. Testing companies getting rich, charter schools, and private partnerships. The result is the same= teach to the test and those who can afford good education versus those who cannot.May 14 2013: The current system repeated the same results so new system new results or we start fresh .
- 0
May 13 2013: The problem is stagnation in definition, content and delivery method. It lives apart from the culture like an antique.

Consider how useful covering basic reading and math would be to the farmers in the tiny villages of China and India. From what I understand, they're ripped off regularly by wholesalers. Yet, education is only defined as the official K through 12 and K is still fought over.
Consider how dependent North America is on checkbooks and driving and yet neither is core curriculum in 9 through 12.
Consider how nimble other communications has evolved and yet kids are still spending their school days in chairs, staring at the back of someone's head as they write on boards as did their parents, grandparents, great-grandparents.
Overhaul is harder the longer a system is in neglect. The discovery and resolution of student problems (dyslexia, learning disorders, etc.) has progressed, but the product of education hasn't. Industry is contributing less, unwilling to do any training, even on their own highly specialized unique products/environment/processes. The politicians step in with a definition of minimums because they aren't being met.May 13 2013: Both

Interpretive Handbook
8500 :
Creatinine Clearance, Serum and 24-Hour Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the sum of filtration rates in all functioning nephrons and so an estimation of the GFR provides a measure of functioning nephrons of the kidney. A decrease in GFR implies either progressive renal disease, or a reversible process causing decreased nephron function (eg, severe dehydration). One of the most common methods used for estimating GFR is creatinine clearance.
Creatinine is derived from the metabolism of creatine from skeletal muscle and dietary meat intake, and is released into the circulation at a relatively constant rate. Thus, the serum creatinine concentration is usually stable. Creatinine is freely filtered by glomeruli and not reabsorbed or metabolized by renal tubules. However, approximately 15% of excreted urine creatinine is derived from proximal tubular secretion. Because of the tubular secretion of creatinine, the creatinine clearance typically overestimates the true GFR by 10% to 15%.
Creatinine clearance is usually determined from measurement of creatinine in a 24-hour urine specimen and from a serum specimen obtained during the same collection period. The creatinine clearance is then calculated by the equation:
2.54 cm=1 inch
1 kg=2.2 pounds (lbs)
Patient surface area (SA)=wt (kg)(.425) X ht (cm)(.725) X 0.007184
Urine conc (mg/dL) x 24 hr Urine volume (mL)
Uncorr creat clear= 1440 minutes_____ =mL/min
Plasma creat (mg/dL)
Urine conc (mg/dL) x 24 hr urine volume (mL)
Corr creat clear= 1440 minutes_______ x 1.73m(2)=
Plasma creat (mg/dL) Patient SA
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Estimation of glomerular filtration rate
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Decreased creatinine clearance indicates decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This can be due to conditions such as progressive renal disease, or result from adverse effect on renal hemodynamics that are often reversible, including drug effects or decreases in effective renal perfusion (eg, volume depletion, heart failure).
Increased creatinine clearance is often referred to as hyperfiltration and is most commonly seen during pregnancy or in patients with diabetes mellitus, before diabetic nephropathy has occurred. It may also occur with large dietary protein intake.
A major limitation of creatinine clearance is that its accuracy worsens in relation to the amount of tubular creatinine secretion. Often as GFR declines, the contribution of urine creatinine from tubular secretion increases, further increasing the discrepancy between true GFR and measured creatinine clearance.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
One of the major limitations of creatinine clearance is erroneous results due to incomplete urine collections. Accurate results depend upon a complete and accurately timed collection.
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.

Tuesday, June 17, 2014 — High Sierra Animal Rescue will be hosting its 11th annual Bow-Wow fundraising event from 5 to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 19 at Nakoma Golf Resort.
Dinner, prepared by Nakoma Golf Resort, will include Tri-tip, chicken, a vegetarian option and more, including dessert. Due to the continued generosity of many local and out-of-the-area businesses, raffle drawings, a silent auction and a live auction will take place. The evening will include a Putt-for-the-Mutts contest, in addition to the Longest Drive competition. New this year, some of High Sierra's adoptable dogs will be in attendance, making the rounds and saying hello. Rounding out the evening will be live music performed by The Ramblers from the East Bay. The even is expected to be a top-notch date night that pays it forward.
High Sierra Animal Rescue was founded in 1999 to end the senseless killing of adoptable pets at local county shelters. During the last 14 years, it has successfully saved the lives of more than 3,700 abandoned pets, placing them into new loving forever homes.
The success of High Sierra Animal Rescue depends entirely on its ability to raise funds through donations, memberships and its two major fundraising events: the Bow-Wow at Nakoma held in July, and the Duffers for the Dogs Golf Tournament, always held at Whitehawk Ranch Golf Club in October.

Sheesh, you're like some tobacco-chewing redneck from Pennsyltucky who keeps bragging on winning the $500 first prize in the big buck pool five years ago.
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich. -- John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961
I wasn't born then, I have been alive since 2000 when Buffalo hasn't made a single postseason.
DOUBLE the amount of playoff wins
beat up head to head at Foxboro
I only keep "yapping" about our title game losses b/c you guys act like we have been the Bills. It's funny how Bills fans can try to tear down a franchise that has been so much better in recent years.
accident, if it did you would think the Jets would have gotten lucky at least once in the last 43 years. From there it's all about match ups and as they say any given Sunday. Oh, and let me get this straight, you want to think that the Jets didn't get their a$$ kicked in the AFC Championship games, loss by 5 points, and a loss by 13 points, then in the next breath believe the Jets kicked Patriots A$$ with a loss of 7 points? You Sir are a joke and so is your team.
The '94 Chargers were a great team? the 9-7 Cards and Giants were great teams? They sure don't make great teams the way they used to.
The Pats scored a garbage time TD against us to mkake the score a 7 pt difference but you had no shot to win. We pretty much dominated from the 2nd qtr on, when you got close late 3rd we went right down the field and scored a Td to make it a double digit game again.
at Indy we LED in the 2nd half, at Pitt we pulled w/in 5 w/ plenty of time left. we didn't even need to try an OS kick(Pats tried 2 against us)
Oh and we were on the ROAD in both games.
The only joke here is you and your fake fandom as we know you are a regular poster that has created a 2nd account.
It never ends.

Here at Go Sea Kayak Byron Bay, we get asked quite often do we do kayak tours out to Julian Rocks situated off Byron Bay. Julian Rocks Nature Reserve is located in the Tasman Sea approximately three kilometres north-east of the township of Byron Bay. The reserve consists of a number of jagged rocky outcrops ranging in height to approximately 15 metres above sea level.
Julian Rocks Nature Reserve is one of the most popular dive locations in Australia. Growing up in Byron Bay, seeing Julian Rocks is one of those constants, just earlier this year I was amazed once more by Julian Rocks seeing waves easily engulf the highest point of the Rocks during one of the massive swell periods that came through the Bay.
We often get asked how hard your kayak tour will be. Generally most people find it a leisurely, mildly challenging adventure. But to make it easier for you, we have a quick list of tips for you:
1) Anyone can do it. That's true. A "Can Do" attitude is one of the most important things to take on your kayak tour. With this everything is easier anyway.
2) Reach Out: Just like the classic Mo Town hit, when you go to take a stroke in the water reach out toward your toes. A longer stroke will benefit you in many ways but reaching gives you a strong catch to start with.
Whale watching from your sea kayak in Cape Byron Marine Park is a truly memorable experience!
Imagine Humpback Whales up to 15 metres in length passing within metres of your kayak while you are out on the Bay.

I'm having problems cutting with my torch. I'm cutting 16 guage sheet metal. As I'm cutting, the material is melting back onto the cut as I move along the cutting line. I've tried lowering the gas and or oxygen and keep getting the same results. When I cut thicker metal I don't see this problem is 16 guage material just too thin for a torch? Should I just use a cutting wheel on a grinder? Any help is appreciated.

It's too thin or your moving too slow. Try turning the torch into the direction and cut it quickly. Good luck.

it takes practice, try laying the torch almost flat, move quick and keep feathering the oxy lever, watch where you cut, while laying the torch flat you can cut quite a distance if not paying attention

I had this problem the other day. You have to tilt in the direction of travel. What I found works for me too is if you turn up your oxygen it gives just a little more umph to push the metal away and keep it out of the kerf.

My mom makes a really good Macaroni and Cheese, and she is always being asked to make some for someone. She is not really a Macaroni and Cheese person herself but she loves making it for people. I tried Chuck's recipe this past Thanksgiving and it blew my Mom's out of the water. Sorry Mom! She agrees with me also. I am originally from California and we had this restaurant in downtown Los Angeles called Clifton's Cafeteria and I thought that they made the best Macaroni and Cheese in the entire world. Well, I have finally found the recipe for it. Thank you Chuck for bringing back wonderful memories and for one of the best recipes on this site. By the way, my Mom actually loves Macaroni and Cheese now, and is always wanting me to make Chuck's Favorite Mac and Cheese. It is now my family's favorite too.
I'm sorry this was gross :(

This is not your typical shells and cheese recipe. Very tasty indeed. My family loved it and the leftovers were just as good. Some suggestions though which most people have already mentioned: The amount of bread crumbs needs to seriously be reduced. Instead of 1 cup, I would only use a 1/4 of a cup with the 1/4 of melted butter. This will provide a light garnishment on top of your dish. Mmmmm...also add a 1/2 cup of milk. If not, your leftovers will be dry as a bone. A tasty bone, but still quite dry. Happy eating!!! :)
I must say that I have been using this website for over 5 years and this is my first review ever...this recipe is top notch. I usually add some chopped ham (or sometime Kielbasa), peas and finely chopped onions to this and add a little milk to keep it moist. This is definitely in my top 15 recipes ever.
Oh god. This recipe is better than sex. Seriously, we make it all the time. Add a can of condensed tomato soup and you will be in cheesy, artery-clogging heaven.
best mac & cheese ever!! i eliminated breadcrumbs & butter. i added lots of fresh sliced tomatoes (tossed w/ pepper) between mac & cheese mixture. also added 1/2 - 3/4 c skim milk (per another reviewer's suggestion) & used fat free/reduced fat sour cream, cottage cheese & shredded cheese & low carb pasta. gotta try to make it healthier somehow!!
Of all the dishes I have tried from this site, this is one of my top favorites, and my family and friends rave about it. I make it exactly as directed except skip the breadcrumbs and cover the top in a thick layer of cheese instead. It is interesting to read all the mixed reviews on this mac and cheese, because depending upon what part of the country you are from, people eat different kinds of mac and cheese. Some people like creamy and some people like it the way this one is made. The mac and cheese that I am used to making and eating that taste like this is made with egg. The cottage cheese in this recipe gives the same consistency of that without the egg, and I like that. Thanks so much! This recipe has really been a great find for me!
I love this recipe. It is easy, creamy, and the sour cream add great flavor. I prefer crumbled triscuits on top and a little bit of cayenne pepper. I also like to use fat free sour cream and cottage cheese (no one can tell the difference).I make this about once a week. Thanks for sharing!!

Everyone had their own stories of how they started, but they all agreed that why they started donating was to help people in need.
Blood drives are held in the county each month, and at a recent drive at La Plata United Methodist Church, 59 units of blood were collected.
"Blood is a perishable product that can only come from generous volunteer donors. There simply is no substitute," said Steve Mavica, communications manager with the American Red Cross. "Red blood cells have a shelf life of only 42 days, and platelets just five days, so they must be replenished constantly."
Some donors at the La Plata drive are regulars, scheduling appointments every 56 days.
Wayne Talbott of Indian Head has been giving blood for more than 50 years.
He started while serving in the U.S. Navy in Vietnam.
A man needed blood, and Talbott, being AB-positive, was called in to donate.
"I laid on the table beside him, they took it from me and gave it to him," he said. "I kept doing it."
"What most people need to understand is that every two seconds, a patient in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion, and it's the blood products on the shelves today that help save lives in an emergency," Mavica said.
Angelica Powell, a mother of three and grandmother of four, believes in giving back.
"Everybody should do this if they can," she said.
Her granddaughter, Ayva Maria, 3 months, was born prematurely and is in the hospital.
Knowing that her donation can help others, maybe children, drives Powell to donate.
"It could be one of your friends, your family," who needs blood, Powell said. "I do it because I want to help people."
On average, the Red Cross must collect almost 17,000 pints of blood every day for patients at nearly 3,000 hospitals and transfusion centers across the country, Mavica said.
The Greater Chesapeake and Potomac Blood Services Region needs about 1,000 pints of blood each day to support the hospitals it serves, he said.
"While thousands of people answered the call for blood and platelet donations issued by the American Red Cross earlier this summer, an urgent need remains for platelets and types O-negative, A-negative and B-negative blood," Mavica added.
O'Brien Price of La Plata has the O-positive blood type. He gives double reds — which allows him to donate two units of blood.
Double red cell donation is like a regular donation, but a machine is used, allowing donors to give two units of blood while returning plasma and platelets to the donor, according to the Red Cross.
"He's giving all the time," said Price's wife, Lynne, who also was donating blood. She has O-positive too, and has been giving blood on and off since she was a teenager.
"It helps," she said. "It saves lives."
Mindy Millar, a former paramedic with the Cobb Island Volunteer Fire Department and EMS, knows firsthand the importance of blood donation.
And her blood type, O-negative, is always in short supply, said Millar, who has donated blood since she was in her teens.
"It's my duty to donate," she said.
Following the birth of her daughter, Maybree, 5 months, she donated umbilical cord blood too, which is transfused into patients with blood diseases after chemotherapy or radiation have destroyed stem cells, according to the Red Cross.
Stephen Lehrter of La Plata first gave blood in high school following 9/11 and continued to donate through college at Salisbury University.
After the birth of his second daughter, Lehrter, who has O-negative blood, donates faithfully every 56 days.
"I'm O-negative, a universal donor," he said. "[The blood] is earmarked for infants and immune-compromised people. It doesn't hurt and it saves lives."
Judy Harrison of La Plata agreed.
"It's rewarding," she said.
Blood drives will be held in September, including one 1-7 p.m. Sept. 4 at the Elks Lodge 2421, 2210 Old Washington Road, Waldorf; 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Sept. 5 at the Charles County Sheriff's office, 6845 Crain Highway, La Plata; 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 7 at Bryans Road Volunteer Fire Department, 3099 Livingston Road; and 1-7 p.m. Sept. 23 at Waldorf Jaycees, 3090 Crain Highway. The Jaycees hold a blood drive the fourth Monday of every month.

Not far from downtown Vestal, dominated by Pease Furniture's green facade, stand the old headquarters of the Candoro Marble Company, now the site of the annual Vestival. Established in 1914, the company's showroom was designed by famed local architect Charles Barber; outbuildings of the now-empty factory continue to decline, though the Candoro Arts and Cultural Center raises funds to preserve and restore the Candoro building.
Vestal United Methodist Church offers a grand architectural home for spirituality, directly across Ogle Avenue from Pease Furniture.
Harry Allen has owned the Vestal homebrew shop Allen Biermakens since before homebrewing became "cool."
On Martin Mill Pike, Sherby Jones makes pine cone dolls on the porch of Tea & Treasures.
Everybody goes to Mo's—the regionally famous Vestal institution known as King Tut Grill. Owner Monir "Mo" Girgis brings in fans with his showmanship while his wife Seham satisfies diners with a craving for Middle-Eastern fare.
The interior decor's unique sense of style is also a big draw (particularly the yearly Christmas nativity scenes).
Lila Honaker enjoys one of King Tut's trademark Greek salads—"the best in Knoxville," as Mo always promises.
At Maryville Pike roadhouse Susie Q's, current owner John Rhinehart (middle) sits with his friends Richard Turner (left) and Buster Brashears. Rhinehart is selling the bar, and the name will change to Ozzie's in mid-May.

The newest addition to the Vestal dining scene, Love That BBQ, has been drawing crowds of 'cue lovers to the former gas station, including Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett (far left).

About Alicia Keys (Updated May 8, 2013)
Alicia Keys is a "Girl on Fire." Literally. At least that was the impression when the singer-songwriter, producer and actress rolled out the title and artwork to her fifth studio album, due out November 27. Calling the project an "evolution," Keys revealed the cover art on Facebook on August 23. The black and white image features the songstress in a Tom Ford dress and accessorized with jewelry from Bijules and Love Rocks (among others). Her pose also suggests a confident artist ready to reclaim her spot at the top of the music charts.
Often referred to as an "overnight sensation," Keys took the music world by storm when her 2001 debut album, "Songs in A Minor," sold more than 50,000 copies during its first day of release and eventually moved more than ten million units worldwide. It was an impressive start for the woman born Alicia Augello Cook and would adopt the stage name of Alicia Keys when she inked her first record deal.
Finding an ally in Clive Davis was Keys' initial step to success, and when she moved from Columbia Records to Davis' J Records behind a large-scale publicity campaign, she found herself taking interviews on Oprah's couch and ultimately netting five Grammys for her freshman album. It guaranteed the successful launch of her sophomore effort, "The Diary of Alicia Keys," and spawned a poetry book and a live CD/DVD package, "Unplugged."
Keys' focus shifted when she starred in the TV series Charmed, then made the jump to the silver screen to appear in films like Smokin' Aces, The Nanny Diaries and The Secret Life of Bees. Her third studio album, "As I Am," was released in 2007 and sold six million copies worldwide, while her fourth, "The Element of Freedom," became Keys' first chart-topper in the United Kingdom.
Before "Girl on Fire" dropped in November 2012, Keys appeared at the MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on September 6 and at Kaufmann Concert Hall in New York City on September 10. Fast forward into 2013, and she was named as the Global Creative Director at the Blackberry 10 Experience event in New York City on January 30. And four days later, she opened Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans by singing the National Anthem.
Outside of music, Keys has made a name for herself as a philanthropist and AIDS advocate. Her latest initiative is a campaign aimed at reaching out specifically to American women. It's called "Empowered" and will provide community-based grants of up to $25,000 for programs focused on women as a way to open up meaningful dialogue about HIV in this country.
Keys is currently touring Europe, with shows scheduled through June.

Comments about Guidecraft All-In-One Play Kitchen:
Before I purchased this kitchen set, I researched just about every set available on the market. Within the price range I was looking in, all of the sets had the same kind of construction (the pressboard wood that needs to be put together hoping that all the holes line up, etc.), so construction was not a major factor. I would have preferred a real wood construction piece, but those cost about 2-3 times as much.
This item sold me on several items. First, it is a complete kitchen, including stove, stove-top, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. It also has ample countertop space to prepare meals before cooking. There are also the extras like the wall clock and the phone (which unfortunately broke within days of setting up). The unit is taller than my kids (who are about 36" tall only). Many of the sets are too short (under 36") for any long term use to be expected. There is ample storage space for all of their little pots and pans as well as their food items. I originally wanted the set that was in brown and white, but it was backordered at the last minute just before Christmas, so I bought the blue set as a replacement. Originally, I thought it would look like a carnival, but it actually is cute and not so shocking looking when it is at home. My two 4-year old daughters and 2-year old son absolutely love the set and play with it daily.
On the negative side, it does have that cheap "Made in China" feel and construction. Some of the screws are already coming through the 'wood' and I've had to cover the spots with tape to keep the kids from any splintering pieces. And, putting it together it an absolute nightmare. You will need two people and the patience of Job. (The set-up was the only reason why this was not a 5-star review.)
Apart from the product itself, the people at Brookstone really came through in the end. Originally, I ordered the product in the first few days of December for a Christmas present. The Brown & White kitchen I ordered went on backorder, but I was never informed. I called Brookstone the Tuesday before Christmas to find out where the item was. Well, the Brown & White one was not available, but they got this one to me by having the manufacturer AIR SHIP the item at Brookstone's expense. It arrived Friday afternoon before Christmas and made my kids' holiday great. It took a lot of work for them to coordinate, but Brookstone managed to come through at one of the busiest times of the year.

Early screening for off-target effects has become an integral component of the drug discovery process, because proactive testing reduces high attrition of lead compounds during medicinal chemistry efforts and clinical trials. Such screening requires cell models that accurately predict relevant in vivo human responses and drug efficacy. Additionally assays to assess cell health must be easily miniaturized and amenable to ultra high-throughput environments while providing a complete picture of cell health. Homogeneous (add-mix-read) assay reagents are user-friendly alternatives to traditional methods of monitoring cell viability. Reagents have been developed to monitor various aspects of cell health, including viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. The assay reagents can be used individually, or in some cases multiplexed, to generate a multi-parameter readout of cell health from cells within a single assay well. Here we present data generated with add-mix-read cell health assays using an human induced pluriopotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocyte cell model to provide a more complete picture of cell health.
Induced pluriopotent stem cells (iPSCs) are an emerging research tool with applications in a variety of research areas, including toxicity screening. Lethal cardiotoxic side effects have resulted in the removal of therapies from the market for safety reasons.
Consequently, screening for off-target effects, including cardiotoxicity, is a vital part of the drug development process.
To demonstrate the applicability of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes as an off-target model for toxicity screening, we conducted parallel experiments using a target human K562 cancer cell line model (chronic myelogenous leukemia) alongside iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes (iCell® Cardiomyocytes; Cellular Dynamics International). Select drugs known to target cancerous cells were tested, and the toxicity profiles of the two cell types were compared.
To assess overall cell health and cytotoxicity, we used the ApoTox-Glo™ Triplex Assay, a combination of chemistries used to measure viability, as indicated by an intact cell membrane; cytotoxicity, as indicated by a compromised cell membrane; and apoptosis, as indicated by caspase activation.
The ApoTox-Glo™ Triplex Assay combines three assay chemistries to easily assess viability, cytotoxicity and apoptosis events in the same cell-based assay well. First, viability and cytotoxicity are determined by measuring two differential protease biomarkers simultaneously with the addition of a single nonlytic reagent containing two peptide substrates. The live-cell protease activity is restricted to intact viable cells and is measured using a fluorogenic, cell-permeant peptide substrate (GF-AFC Substrate). The substrate enters intact cells, where it is cleaved to generate a fluorescent signal proportional to the number of living cells. This live-cell protease activity marker becomes inactive upon loss of membrane integrity and leakage into the surrounding culture medium. A second, cell-impermeant, fluorogenic peptide substrate (bis-AAF-R110 Substrate) is used simultaneously to measure dead-cell protease activity that has been released from cells that have lost membrane integrity. This results in ratiometric, inversely correlated measures of cell viability and cytotoxicity. The ratio of viable cells to dead cells is independent of cell number and, therefore, can be used to normalize data. A second reagent containing luminogenic DEVD-peptide substrate for caspase-3/7 and Ultra-Glo™ Recombinant Thermostable Luciferase is added. Caspase-3/7 cleavage of the substrate releases luciferin, which is a substrate for luciferase and generates light. The light output, measured with a luminometer, correlates with caspase-3/7 activation as a key biomarker of apoptosis.
iCell® Cardiomyocytes from Cellular Dynamics International are derived from human iPSCs
. These cardiomyocytes have been developed to serve as a parallel cardiac model to aid in drug discovery by improving predictability of drug efficacy and toxicity. These cells are terminally differentiated, fully functional human cardiomyocytes and therefore provide results that more accurately predict the relevant in vivo cardiac response
The immortalized K562 cell line was isolated from a female patient with CML from a pleural effusion nine days before her death
. These cells, which have a Philadelphia chromosome translocation, have been extensively characterized and serve as a model system for the development of cancer therapies targeting CML
For all experiments iCell® Cardiomyocytes were plated and maintained as previously described by the manufacturer
. K562 cells were plated and treated in high glucose RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum.
The tyrosine kinase inhibitor, imatinib, targets the mutant bcr-abl kinase found in the leukocytes of patients with CML
. In this experiment, cells were prepared as described above. A serial titration of imatinib was applied to each cell line and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2. After treatment, the ApoTox-Glo™ Assay was performed as per manufacturer instructions
At imatinib concentrations greater than 1µM, cytotoxicity is noted in both cell lines (Figure 1). The compound causes a profound decrease in cancer cell viability with a commensurate increase in caspase-3/7 activity (Figure 1). This concentration-dependent, apoptotic profile is consistent with the reported on-target activity of the drug. Conversely, cardiomyocyte toxicity suggests a troubling off-target effect of imatinib treatment which occurs without caspase activation. This in vitro cytotoxic result would warrant further study to gauge potential clinical risk. The apparent high-dose diminution of caspase and cytotoxicity biomarker signals observed after 24 hours of imatinib treatment with K562 cells, is consistent with early onset activation kinetics and consequent time-dependent biomarker decay. A full time course of exposure (4, 12, 24 hours) is suggested to fully characterize the kinetics of the cytotoxic event. Bortezomib has been shown to direct anti-tumor activity in hematopoietic malignancies by specifically inhibiting part of a complex of proteins containing the 28S proteasome. On target efficacy is thought to occur by interference with the misfolded protein recycling function of the proteasome, which allows cancerous cells to maintain replicative potential
Note that the viability falls off in both cell lines at imatinib concentrations exceeding 1µM. The mechanism of cell death in K562 cells appears to be via apoptosis as indicated by the increase in caspase-3/7 activity that precisely accompanies the increase in cytotoxicity.
Bortezomib shows potent specificity to K562 cells and dose dependent effects on cell health, with a decrease in viability and corresponding increase in cytotoxicity (Figure 2). The increase in caspase-3/7 signal indicates the mechanism is due to apoptosis induction. A decrease in cytotoxicity signal at higher concentrations of bortezomib in the K562 model is likely a result of activation kinetics and time-dependent biomarker decay (Figure 2). The cardiomyocytes do not show apparent off-target effects on cell health. It should be noted however that bortezomib and other proteasome inhibitors are know to partially inhibit the viability assay protease at concentrations greater than 1µM, which is more than 50-fold greater than the EC50 for K562 cells.
The decrease in cell viability is specific for K562 cells and is accompanied by induction of caspase-3/7 activity, indicating the mechanism of cell death is apoptosis.
Identifying compounds with undesirable off-target effects early in the drug discovery process requires two things: cellular models that generate results highly predictive of the human in vivo response and cell health assays that are easily performed in a highly miniaturized format. iCell® Cardiomyocytes serve as a cardiac model to aid in toxicity and efficacy screens as terminally differentiated, fully functional, normal human cardiomyocytes. The ApoTox-Glo™ Assay provides a multiplexed assay that measures several parameters of cell health in the same well, allowing researchers to gain a more complete picture of the effects treatments are having on their cells. Together with an appropriate cellular target (K562 cell line) and human test system (iCell® Cardiomyocytes), the homogeneous, add-mix-read, ApoTox-Glo™ assay reagent enabled a rapid and robust assessment of compound efficacy, off-target safety margin, and toxicity-based mechanism of action in a single experiment.

Seems like there is a broken wire to the rheostat.
From your description, your switch still works.
This remote uses what I call "toasters" as the current control.
This is a high power or wattage ceramic element so the newer potentiometer based remotes will not work as a substitute.
My suggestion is to open the case and check wire continuity and connections visually first and then with an ohmmeter.
Also check continuity from the remote connections to the connectors.

never play poker when you are tired or drunk. never! :) taking a walk is good option, it clears your mind) other things like headphones, cigars and chip tricks are only distract me. but it's very personal.
I focus on my opponents. I watch for tells, determine styles of play, see if I can find things to exploit at the table. That keeps me busy enough.
Okay, I admit it, I also play with my chips.

Unless a firearm is partially visible, it is considered concealed.
A concealed handgun license allows you to carry a loaded or unloaded handgun concealed upon your person or concealed within your control in a car or other means of transportation.
ORS 166.295(C)(2) requires that the "licensee shall report the change of address and the sheriff shall issue a new license as a duplication for a change of address. The license shall expire upon the same date as would the original." Failure to do so may result in revocation of your License. The cost is $15.
If you will be transferring your license to another county, register with that county. They will notify us that you are no longer a CHL holder in Marion County. However, if you do not transfer your license to another Oregon county OR if you move out of state, you must notify the Marion County Sheriff's Office.
You should report the loss of your CHL and make an appointment to have a replacement issued. The cost is $15.
Pursuant to ORS 166.295(1)(a), a concealed handgun license is renewable by repeating the procedures set out in ORS 166.291 and 166.292. You are not required to be fingerprinted or to provide character references again. You must schedule an appointment, complete an application and pay a $50 renewal fee. An otherwise expired concealed handgun license continues to be valid for up to 45 days after the licensee applies for renewal if: (1) The licensee applies for renewal before the original license expires; (2) The licensee has proof of the application for renewal; and (3) The application for renewal has not been denied.
Yes. Contact us to schedule an appointment so we can issue a card in your new name. Bring a marriage license or court documentation as proof of your name change. The cost is $15.
This is a serious offense and can result in arrest and seizure and revocation of your License.
No. It is not the policy of the Marion County Sheriff to issue Concealed Handgun Licenses to anyone who is not a resident of Marion County. Other Oregon counties may have different policies, especially those which border other states. Check with them.
Yes. We are mandated by law to fingerprint new applicants for Concealed Handgun Licenses, regardless of whether they have been fingerprinted before.
It generally takes less than 15 minutes to process renewal applications. Assuming there is nothing in a background check to preclude you from renewing your License, it is printed and issued to you usually at the end of the appointment. To further speed up the renewal process, have the renewal fee of $50 ready--either $50 in cash or your check completed at the time of your appointment. Checks to the Marion County Sheriff can be made to "MCSO."

They are very cool, and they make sure that everyone involved has a... great time whether you are a Raiders fan or not. Just show up, and $20 gets you a wristband!
Thanks Cedar and R4L,
I was just curious. I know I can tolerate some @sshole fans, just worried a little about the wife. San Diego and Arizona fans didn't give us a hard time at all, but I suspect the Raider fans will be a little obnoxious.
