A few months ago I mentioned Sandusky police Lt. Phil Frost in a column after Sandusky city commission candidate, the Rev. Pervis Brown, told me Frost was not well-liked in the black community.
Lt. Phil Frost
The day after that column published I was crossing Market and Jackson streets with three colleagues for lunch at Yesteryears. As I stepped from the curb I saw Frost stopped at the intersection. I was just about to say hello as we made eye contact when he turned north onto Jackson Street and drove away.
"Hey, there's Phil Frost," I said to my group.
We walked to the restaurant and were seated on the patio out front. Sweet beautiful sunny day. Moments later, again, I said, "Hey, there's Phil Frost," as the elite Sandusky police commander drove past again in his nifty Crown Vic cruiser.
We ordered and got our iced teas and coffee, and again, I looked out onto Market Street and watched as big-barrel Phil drove past again. "Hey, there's Phil Frost," I said.
Sandwiches served and one of our group glances toward Market Street, and this time she says, "Hey, there's Phil Frost," as he drives past again.
We finish lunch and walk back to the Register building, standing for a moment to chat. I look over, and one more time, there's Phil Frost -- stopped -- at the four-way stop. He drives away.
I told that story to the thoughtfully opinionated Darwitt Garrett, and without missing a beat he delivered a perfect line back at me.
"Now you got a better idea what it's like to be a black man," said the former head of the Sandusky NAACP.
And there, you have it.

About Eastwood Fuel Guard - Ethanol Treatment
Got a Carburetor?
Today's automotive fuels have as much as 10% Ethanol blended in your gasoline. While this is good for domestic farmers and our environment, it is harmful to your carbureted engine.
What is Ethanol?
Ethanol, also known as Ethyl-alcohol C2H5OH, is a domestically produced fuel additive made from renewable resources such as corn, grains and even potatoes. Ethanol is good for our agricultural economy and helps us reduce our dependency on foreign petroleum products.
What is Phase-Separation?
Ethanol and water readily dissolve within each other. When the two reach their maximum saturation point, the water separates and is released into the fuel. The higher the ambient temperature, the sooner phase separation occurs. Phase separation can occur in as little as 30 days. Click Here to learn more about Eastwood Fuel Guard and Ethanol-blended fuel.

Fuel Guard-Add to every gas tank. One 8oz bottle treats up to 30 gallons of fuel. For best results pour one bottle in before adding fuel. Fill tank with gasoline This will ensure the additive is thoroughly mixed with the fuel.

Last year, 221 children from Cameron, Elk, McKean and Potter counties received gifts and clothing as part of the Christmas Project. This year DCI is hoping to fulfill the wishes of 180 children, but has 35 remaining children to be selected from the Angel Giving Tree.
The project was named after Patricia "Pat" Work, a therapist at Dickinson for many years prior to her passing in 2003.
ST. MARYS – The Bucktail Council, Boy Scouts of America covers an area including Elk, Cameron, Jefferson and Clearfield counties, and the western portion of Centre County, and consists of 2,300 scouts and nearly 1,000 leaders, according to scout executive Greg Bennett.
The Bucktail Council is one of the organizations that receives funding from the St. Marys Area United Way. Bennett explained that this funding is indispensable to the organization, as it makes up between eight and nine percent of the Bucktail Chapter's $650,000 to $700,000 annual budget.

It has been a storming first half of the season for HEAD World Cup Rebel, Marianne Kaufmann-Abderhalden, as she took second place in Lake Louise and now has won her first World Cup race in the Downhill in Val d'Isere. In a race punctuated by a number of crashes, Kaufmann-Abderhalden pushed it to the limit to win from Tina Maze and Cornelia Huetter.
The OK course used for the women's downhill in Val d'Isere is a gnarly course: Some big jumps and many small ripples across the course putting pressure on the girl's knees and legs. Much of the pre-race attention focused on the return to action of Lindsey Vonn; Vonn pulled up midway down the course after getting thrown around and bounced off the course.
After the race she said: "I'm going to stick to a similar plan that I was on before, just need to be more careful of how many races I do. I'm at risk of doing more damage to my knee and my meniscus. So I'm going to play it safe and race really minimal races. Probably one or two before the Olympics."
Kaufmann-Abderhalden produced a great run that saw her put the platform for her win at the top, keep the speed high in the middle and then kept it safe to the bottom. "I really don't know why it started going well in Lake Louise. Here I expected more because it's like a second home for the Swiss, but I certainly did not expect to win," said the girl who came close to quitting a few years back.
Kajsa Kling continued her great run of form in taking eighth place from a start number of 35, just ahead of Maria Hoefl-Riesch, Lizz Goergl and Anna Fenninger in places nine to eleven.
Anna Fenninger had the misfortune to be held in the gate after the course was rebuilt following the crash of the previous racer: "The break was very bad for me. It took me completely out of focus. Moreover, the track is slower by the racer. I have also made mistakes, that was not good today,"
Maria Hoefl-Riesch held on to her second place in the race for the Overall just behind Tina Weirather and ahead of Lara Gut, seven points separating the three racers.

Hoping to make a dent in the iPod's mammoth market share, the original Zune got some people so excited that one man decided to have the Zune logo tattooed on his arm. Too bad he didn't have anyone to share his music with. The Zune-to-Zune sharing feature (which worked over Wi-Fi) fell flat because you could only play tracks you acquired three times within three days. You also had to be near the other unfortunate Zune owner. A lack of a video store at launch further hurt the Zune's cause. A more polished design in the Zune HD and a half-baked gaming strategy couldn't save this franchise, but elements of its slick UI live on in Windows Phone.

IMO the Nokia N-Gage was NOT a failure, I owned the ngage-2 and was revolutionary at the time, and had sold like hot cakes worldwide. The design was very innovative and was in many ways ahead of the monolithic blocks of glass we are seeing on every phone these days. Some of the ngage exclusive games were classic and are still fairly popular amongst emulator users.
How can you call the segway a failure? Have you noticed the number of police departments using them? Or security.
I'm lost on why the CueCat Barcode Scanner was a Gadget Flop as it (and the concept behind it) was the predecessor to the QR code. This is one of the most used, non-text mass communication devices currently used on the open market.
Your list started out as intriguing when it included the Segway, but then it just turned into computing / mp3 fail whales. I guess I should have expected such blandness from "the pulse of mobile tech."
Interesting picks, I could see a few others that are missing. Also, around slide 23, looks like the text and the pictures are out of sync. There is a discussion about the Newton, but the photo is wrong. Continues for the rest of the show.
All time? More like the last 10 years.
This should be renamed "25 Worst Gadget Flops of the Last 12 Years" since that's all the farther back they went. There were "gadgets" before that, FYI, unless "gadgets" is very narrowly defined. Who wrote this, a 20something kid?
Segway a flop?? I know it hasn't been as successful as they would have liked but they are still making Segways!!! I look at the whole list and as far as I can tell none of the other flops are still in production. Keep in mind that the Segway has also led to other innovative applications that has kept that company in business. I would strongly disagree that the Segway has been a flop! If anything it has been a stepping stone to success.
Interesting article. Maybe you should check your facts about the Blackberry Playbook…
-When was it ever a 10″ screen? NEVER. Sheesh, even your picture shows a different measurement.
-And such a small tablet was such a bad idea that…hmmm…amazingly…Apple copied the the idea and made an iPad MINI.
You were correct that the Playbook did not sell well at all, and lacked very essential features…
You could have mentioned, though, that the Playbook can both truly multitask and run Adobe Flash, unlike Apple products.
Too much of an iFanboy slant in this product description. Epic fail. Go work for BGR.com
Really the biggest tech flops of ALL TIME all come from the last 5 years? Color me unimpressed with this list, what about laserdisc format, etc.
Add Google Glass to the list.
For a tech website…this one loads really slow…I can't make it through the show…do you really have to load the whole page to see the next slide? annoying man….
I had a Rokr and really liked it – I didn't want an ipod that would make calls – I had a phone that would store a few audio files to play – when I wanted some music or some inspiration (Zell Miller's speech to the RNC – it was awesome!) – it doesn't compare to my iphone 5, but times have changed since the Rokr came out.
One of the things that killed the Rokr was that Cingular stopped carrying it and it was picked up by another carrier – but there were updates to it after Cingular dropped it, that you couldn't get if you were a Cingular customer… It was orphaned -
I see Segway's all the time at many businesses. I'll agree that in the personal market they bombed, but in the business world they seem to be very popular for getting around large buildings and complexes.
I had a BlackBerry Storm and I loved it. I eventually moved on to a Droid Razr because there were more apps available, but I never had any issues with the touchscreen as described above.
Hi John,
This error has been corrected. Thanks for your note.
Hi Joe
Thanks for your comment. The reason most of the gadgets on this list are more recent is because we focused on mobile gadgets, which is what we focus on in terms of coverage.
CueCats were also available for free at your local Radio Shack, and some stations (such as those owned by Belo) broadcast signals that would travel the audio out from your TV to internet-connected PC with CueCat software to bring up related websites.
In the era before smartphone cameras and QR codes, this was actually a genius idea.
The problem with the CueCat was the software, which kept an unsecure database of products scanned. When the privacy issues came to light, that's what killed the CueCat.
There is even a hack to convert the CueCat's scan into input for your computer, far cheaper than the typical handheld scanner/wedge.
The Segway may not have been a "failure" per se, but it was in relation to what was expected. If you remember the ads before the Segway was revealed (there was great secrecy to what it even was), they were saying things like "in 30 days, prepare for the world to change overnight" or some nonsense like that. The Segway was interesting, but…a world changer? Hardly.
I noticed that only one gadget on this list was pre-2000, and even that one was 1998. There were many, many gadgets before that, and certainly some very big failures. The mini-disc player and format comes to mind. As does the laser disc. Maybe I'm misremembering and those were not as bad of failures as I remember, but I'm sure if we put a little thought into it, we could come up with many others. So, while I'm not saying that the devices on this list don't deserve to be here, it seems like this is a very skewed and incomplete list.
You left out a bunch.
How about the apple Lisa? The Mac portable? The Newton? Performa? The pippin? The g4 cube? Apple TV? The new version of Final cut? Snow leopard? The iphone 4/4s? I just noticed you forgot to list one Apple failure of which there are hundreds.
"A $499 price tag and an executive decision to revive Palm's then aging mobile platform would relegate the Foleo to collector's item status."
This implies someone would actually want to collect it.
You really must at least *try* to get writer's who have actually lived more than 22 years…
Re the segway and quote from the article – " The final insult came when President Bush fell of a Segway in 2004."
That is so unfair! This was hardly the failt of the machine! Bush was probably so drunk and/or so high at the time. that he could have fallen off the ground if he had been lying on it! The company should have sued Bush for damaging their reputation
I sure wish slide shows masquerading as articles were on the list.
I have heard that G.Bush fell off the Segway when it was OFF! It's not suposed to "balance" when it's OFF.Talk about getting a bad rap.
I laughed so much when I read at slide 19, joojoo pad: …" thanks to a confusing interface that literally had a map to show you where you were." I mean, is someone so hard tripping to need a pad to show you where you are? Hilarious, as 99,3% apps available for any mobile device, they all do nothing you couldn´t do without them, well they actually do, they steal your valuable and limited time to live.
Not agree with the Playbook being a flop…as compared to HP Touchpad.
The Playbook still exists…for sure it was hi-priced and targetted primarily to BB users, but since v2.0 OS, Playbook has native email, calendar, and so on….*** and runs flawlessly ***.
And with the current prices, it's a bargain.
I'm not sure why several of these products were on the list, including the Sharp RD3D. At the time, the RD3D was quite innovative and while the price was high, it wasn't marketed to the mass consumer…it was sold to professional users for use with CAD, medical imaging, and molecular modeling programs. Yes, the case was bulky and the Pentium 4 chip ran a bit hot, but the Sharp engineers did a total redesign for their 2nd gen 3D laptop, the AL3D, and they sold every one they made.
I came up with the idea of something similar to the smart watch not all that long before MSN created it, but I sent the idea to Nokia, not MSN. If they had included all that I suggested, it would have done a lot better than it did. My idea was for the watch to BE a smartphone with all of the features of a smartphone, but primarily a more easily carried and less obvious PHONE that wouldn't look like a phone. I was inspired by "Inspector Gadget" and James Bond sorts of surreptitious gadgets that did more than they appeared to do. With bluetooth, answering the phone would have been a breeze with any number of ear pieces.
Gaming gadgets that did nothing but gaming were on the way out if not virtually useless anymore by that time. The smartphone as a watch is still an idea worth pursuing…. except of course for the fact that, now, users are totally enamored with the larger screens on phones. I was thinking smaller rather than larger, and more concealed than a phone.
sorry… got the ngage confused with the msn watch — the latter did the news, per se. But the idea of my post is still the same. I sent my idea to Nokia, but the device was an MSN device. Not that I didn't like MSN at the time, also, but that was way too basic and the news services alone on a watch were already outdated — people wanted MORE and had MORE in phones that looked like phones. A phone watch is the ticket for those who don't mind a very small screen and bluetooth phone use. I loved bluetooth phone at the time.
With the bluetooth technology, they could have made small, pocket peripheral "monitors" to the device, also, that would allow users to pull out the bigger monitor — no bigger than a regular handheld phone screen possibly or all the way to the larger types of monitors, too, made with bluetooth accessibility — for easier viewing of things other than phone, like the news or email. But, for that expanded viewing to really be useful now, they would have to get rid of the blocks to receiving "live" netcasts through bluetooth. Then, the "monitor" wouldn't have to be connected by wires but could connect fully through remote wireless.
That would be something *I* would use.
I gave them my ideas for free; one would think with that price, they wouldn't be able to resist… nooooo.
The CueCat Barcode Scanner may have been a financial flop, but it's still effective to inexpensively scan barcodes..if that's what you need to do.
This article is a bit boring. There's loads of much more fascinating choices you could have made, if you'd done a few hours homework.
Barbara, that's so awesome. I wish I'd thought of the smart watch. I'm shocked Nokia didn't appoint you CTO.
Your most famous bad predictions of all time missed my favorite. Watson (head of IBM) once replied to the question of what the market for computers worldwide would be. After a moment's thought he said "6".
(Of course this was back when their only use was to compute the aiming angle of cannons.)

I have an infrequent but still significant need to make images like this:
By which I mean a single image composed of several separate ones, often in a sequence, or otherwise related, usually with borders between, sometimes with more creative blending (e.g. edges faded into each other).
I want a simple app that makes this super easy to do. The above was created with XnView, which is great as I love XnView. The problem is it's an iterative and imprecise process, this one took me 5 or 6 tries, and the control I had over the end results, while adequate, is limited. What I really want is something that can produce results like that, or like this, easily and quickly:
Or this:
Note the varying sizes and different border, etc. Caption capability per-picture as well as for the whole image would be nice but isn't a fundamental requirement.
Ideally the app would load an arbitrary number of files and then offer me an arbitrarily sized canvas on which to arrange them, with guides and snap-points to make it easy to achieve alignment or random arrangement, resizing, etc. with optional borders. Then it would generate a single image with a resolution of my choice, maximum maybe based on the native resolution of the loaded files. It should be able to deal with lots of high resolution photos at once, and ideally be able to handle RAW formats.
I've seen programs like maybe Arcsoft Photosuite or something similar that do seem to have similar capability, but they're not free, and more importantly they're usually bloated piles of crap with gimmicky features and poorly implemented core functionality. I want something that is hopefully simple, lean, efficient, and has very strong core capability to create these kind of sequence/collage images.
In the past I've used Photoshop to do this type of thing manually but it's laborious. It's even possible that Photoshop has a function in it that does this, or makes my normal process easier (basically just cut/paste and canvas enlargement, then manual border styles and stuff - pain in the butt). So if you've got suggestions for alternate workflow with the apps I already have and use, that's welcome too (Lightroom, XnView, Photoshop, Sagelight basically).

The man at the center of a fraud scandal at the Treasury Department has been allowed to quietly quit and retire from his job as a government regulator, despite allegations that he allowed a bank to falsify financial records and amidst outcries from investigators who say the case shows how cozy government regulators have become with the banks and savings and loans they are supposed to be checking on.
Darrel Dochow, the West Coast regional director at the Office of Thrift Supervision who investigators say allowed IndyMac to backdate its deposits to hide its ill health, quit last Friday. Prior to his leaving, Dochow was removed from his position but remained on the government payroll while the Inspector General's Office investigates the allegations against him.
Treasury Department Inspector General Eric Thorson announced in November his office would probe how Dochow allowed the IndyMac bank to essentially cook its books, making it appear in government filings that the bank had more deposits than it really did. But Thorson's aides now say IndyMac wasn't the only institution to get such cozy assistance from the official who should have been the cop on the beat.
Investigators say Dochow, who reportedly earned $230,000 a year, allowed IndyMac to register an $18 million capital injection it received in May in a report describing the bank's financial condition in the end of March.
"They [IndyMac] were able to maintain their well-capitalized threshold and continue to use broker deposits to make loans," said Marla Freedman, an assistant Inspector General at Treasury. "Basically, while the institution was having financial difficulty, it kept the public from knowing earlier than it otherwise should have or would have."
In at least one instance, investigators say, banking regulators actually approached the bank with the suggestion of falsifying deposit dates to satisfy banking rules – even if it disguised the bank's health to the public.
The federal government took over IndyMac in July, after the bank's stock price plummeted to just pennies a share when it was revealed the bank had financial troubles due to defaulted mortgages and subprime loans, costing taxpayers over $9 billion.
In order to backdate the filings, IndyMac sought and received permission from Dochow, according to Freedman.
"That struck us as very unusual," said Freedman. "Typically transactions are to be recorded in the period in which they occur, not afterwards. So it was very unusual."
One former regulator says Dochow's actions illustrate the cozy relationship between banks and government regulators.
"He did nothing to protect taxpayers in losses," former federal bank regulator William Black told ABC News. "Instead of correcting it [Dochow] made it worse by increasing the accounting fraud."
Meanwhile, IndyMac customers who lost their savings have launched their own website and are demanding answers from the government. They were further infuriated after learning Dochow was also the regulator in 1989 who oversaw the failed Lincoln Savings and Loan, a scandal that sent its CEO Charles Keating to prison.

I am 5'6" 135lbs and I got the medium. The length is perfect. My only complaint is that the back side is just a little too snug, and the front is just a little too baggy. I actually roll the elastic waist once over only in the front, not in the back to compensate for the baggy front. I like to wear my pants at my hips and the rise is a little high. Other than that fit complaint, they are very very comfortable. I love running in them because the material is slick and there is no friction on my skin when my thighs rub together while exercising. The material is nice and thick and warm and they are obviously well made and I'm sure will last forever. ... read more
I grew up wearing these track suits playing basketball! It's nice to not worry about an ultra low rise for a change! They were initially meant to be worn over your uniforms so they are roomy, not fitted. At 5'4" and 130lbs a small in this pant fits well. Don't laugh at the position I played (down below)!! LOL. Small but mean :) Love the quality fabric and construction - I own several pairs (I won't embarrass myself by admitting how many I own) and have encouraged other women I work with to buy them as well :) Last for years. Colors never fade. Timeless. ... read more
I have worn Adidas original fitness pants and have had great success in past years. Now that I am reaching 65, retired and have gone through some major medical issues, I found that I wanted some new Adidas pants so that I would once again be successful with my exercise program. The size and fit are great and they feel very comfortable to the skin. They will get me to the summer and a slimmer me. ...a little too warm for summer exercise. ... read more
Love this classic Adidas jacket - grew up wear them to basketball practice and STILL love the fit and construction. I like my jackets a little roomy so I can wear a little something underneath - so at 5'4" 130lbs a medium is my fit choice. I like that the jacket and pants are not a total match - complementary but not matchy-matchy. The fabric is top notch - pant and jacket will last for years - mine are a testament to that. No color fade, no shrinkage. I have several .. in all colors... mix and match. Can't beat them! I prefer this to the yoga look... don't need to look like I'm running around in long johns, thank you very much. ... read more
I already had a pair of these that I had purchased in a store that have been a staple of my wardrobe but were now worn after many years. I wasn't sure when I ordered these if they would be the same but they were. The only difference was that mine had zip pockets which I liked, but the pockets are deep enough that it doesn't really make a difference. I am 5'8" and have a hard time getting sweats long enough (especially after washing) but these (large) are perfect, they don't shrink. Yes, they are heavy but that's what I like about them. Try wearing other sweat pants in the winter. These keep me warm and toasty when I take my dog for walks and it's cold out. You will need lighter weight ones for the summer. ... read more
I received the gray pants with hot pink stripes for Christmas, and they fit so well! I normally have trouble finding athletic pants that are long enough for me. These pants have not shrunk after washing, and they are very cozy. The adjustable drawstring waist allows me to cinch in the pants and I don't have to sacrifice a larger waist for longer pants! ... read more
I've aloways loved Adidas but this pants was too heavy, too long, and somewhat larger than most "S" sized Adidas I've purchased in the past. I wanted the thinner material that looks just like the illustration. Next time, please indicate weight, example light, medium, heavy weights, or good for summer or winter. Would be nice to indicated if Petite sizes are available. Use pants for fitness, yoga, pilates, zumba, etc. ... read more
Have a pair of three-stripers that are several years old. Have been very pleased with them, so purchased more pairs. In only a few months of wearing the new pairs, the material has begun to pill, while the original pair has not. ... read more
I cannot imagina how anyone could exist WITHOUT these Adidas jackets. I wear them all the time. So far I have just four of them, two black, one white and one yellow, but they won't be the last, and I am eighty three years old! ... read more
What I disliked about this product is that they are rather tight in the butt area, I was expecting them to be a little looser. They are also fairly warm, so if you're purchasing them for summer activities I would recommend choosing a different product. As for the length, I'm 5'4", and these were about 2-3 inches too long for me. ... read more
Not a baller.... but these are great for lifting- not too tight, not too loose. Also great for cardio at the gym as well, except jumping rope because they run a little long... but at 5'10", I was really excited that they weren't short! ... read more
I was so excited to find trico fabric and not a knit that hugs every curve. I ordered the three stripe pants in 2 colors. I love them both and looking forward to wearing them as I get back into shaoe. I tried on a pair of my sister's while visiting in Illinois so I knew they would fit. I looked locally but could not find except in the skinny leg. So I went on line to adidas.com and read the reviews. I should have ordered the matching jacket in XL after reading reviews but didn't so I am returning the large and waiting for the XL. I am confident I will like it. Thanks Adidas Could be a tiny bit looser in the hip area. ... read more
I ordered Color Black / Night Flash / Night Flash (S14931). On the website the stripes look blue. When I got them it was purple, not the blue color that I ordered. I already have Blast Purple pants which are identical. I thought I was ordering blue. Disappointed. Other than that, I love this style of pants. These basketball pants are great! Hard to find now though. Hate the new legging style pants. Hopefully you will come out with more colors in this style. I collect all of the different colors!! ... read more
The color I ordered was black/electricity. The picture looked as if the stripes were yellow or gold (what I wanted). But apparently "electricity" is a neon chartreuse that goes with absolutely nothing. And there isn't a jacket to match that doesn't have an NBA logo on it. I just wanted an anonymous jacket to go with these pants, but there isn't one. ... read more
I brought the entire outfit (gray with blue stripe). The jacket fit me very well and the pants fit good also. If you have hips I would suggest a larger size for the Jacket. I brought a size small and I am 5' 2" 136 pds. I didn't think the material was heavy as I have read, you can wear this all year round. I wore leggings underneath for the winter and I was fine. The bottoms also were not as big as I read, they do fit a tiny bit loose but if you have some hips & butt it will be a great fit. I will buy other colors! ... read more

Strawberry Rhubarb Bars
My sisters and I like to bake when we get together. It's just something fun we all enjoy. My older-younger sister had recently tried some strawberry-rhubarb pie and really wanted to make something with those flavors. After searching the Internet, we came across this recipe and decided to try it. I'm so glad we did. These bars are perfectly sweet and tart and so easy to make.
One year ago – Blueberry Lemon Basil Cupcakes
Strawberry Rhubarb Squares – from Betty Crocker – makes 20 barsCrust and Topping1 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats
2/3 cup chopped nuts
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Strawberry-Rhubarb Filling2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons milk
4 eggs
4 cups sliced strawberries (2 pints)
4 cups sliced rhubarb (8 stalks)
Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, mix butter, brown sugar and vanilla with spoon. Stir in 2 cups flour, the oats, nuts, baking soda and salt until crumbly (we needed to add more oats and flour, probably another cup of each. We also used our hands to mix this). Reserve 2 cups crumbly mixture. Press remaining crumbly mixture in ungreased 15x10x1-inch pan.
In large bowl, mix granulated sugar, 2/3 cup flour, the milk and eggs with spoon until smooth. Fold in strawberries and rhubarb. Spoon filling onto crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumbly mixture.
Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until topping is golden brown and filling is set. Cool slightly, about 30 minutes. For serving pieces, cut into 5 rows by 4 rows. Serve with whipped cream. Store covered in refrigerator.

10 Responses to "Strawberry Rhubarb Bars"
I've been anxious to try rhubarb but after many trips to the grocery store missed the season. (it sold out-FAST!) Did you use fresh or frozen rhubarb? I just saw the frozen kind and have been thinking about giving it a try.
Ingrid – I made this when I was home in the Midwest back in June. It seems easier to find out there than in the East Coast where I live. We use fresh and I've never used frozen although my dad does freeze his for the rhubarb rolls I made a few weeks ago too. I should have grabbed a ton and froze it myself…
I made these for a 4th of July party. we ran out of fresh and had to use frozen rhubarb, which tasted fine, we couldnt tell the difference (but we also had the fresh mixed in). Although I would suggest cutting the frozen pieces up a bit more- they came out of the bag huge! ~Jen's older-younger sister
thanks little sis! Were they store bought or did Dad freeze them from fresh?
No kidding – those look like the best dessert ever!! I'm starring and making for sure!
Ya know what- I've never made anything with rhubarb! But those sure look yummy so I might have to try it
These look delicious!
I love rhubarb, what a great new way to use it;)
I really need to try rhubarb. I am afraid I won't like it, but this looks like a great recipe!
Thank for the info Jen! I just may go ahead and give frozen a try otherwise its wait a year.

Where else from November to April can you hike beneath sunny skies with an average 78-degree temperature? As temps rise on the desert floor, hikers seek the high country, making this a year-round destination for hikers to refresh themselves physically and spiritually. The following hikes represent a sampling of the scenic variety the area's trails offer.
Slot Canyon Walkabout

The "Big Split Rock" Slot Canyon Walkabout lies in the Mecca Hills, in the northeast corner of the Coachella Valley, along the boundary of the North American Tectonic Plate, where the San Andreas Fault converges with other fault lines to form the uplifted, geologically exotic area known as the Mecca Hills. The canyons and low mountains here strike the eye of any visitor as a place "off-planet," resembling a lunar landscape, especially under the soft light of a full moon. By day, however, this contorted, compressed land is blessed with a profusion of vibrant color, the result of minerals deep in the Earth having been exposed over eons of time to the erosion of wind and water, while abundant iron-based minerals have combined with the elements to form washes of red, lilac, orange, coral, burnt sienna, and other desert hues more reminiscent of Southern Utah than Southern California.
Lost Palms Oasis Trail at Cottonwood Spring

The Lost Palms Oasis Trail at Cottonwood Spring is in Joshua Tree National Park. On the southernmost boundary of Joshua Tree National Park, several minor earthquake fault lines — branches of the San Andreas Fault line 20 miles southwest — cut through the low mountains overlooking Interstate 10. By doing so, the fault encourages water to seep to the surface. At one such point, you can explore a lush growth of California fan palms for their stately beauty. This particular grouping of fan palms is known as Lost Palms Oasis and makes a beautiful day hike through washes and over plateaus, offering stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, including the distant San Jacinto Mountains to the west.
Whitewater Preserve

The Whitewater Canyon/Pacific Crest Trail Ridge Loop is found in the Whitewater Preserve, where the Canyon forms the boundary between the Coachella Valley desert area and the San Bernardino Mountains to the northwest. The canyon is home to Whitewater River, whose waters over thousands of years have charged the aquifer beneath the Coachella Valley with fresh drinking water. Whitewater Canyon/Pacific Crest Trail Ridge Loop takes you first over, then above, Whitewater River. In less than a half-mile, you will access the famous Pacific Crest Trail. Wind your way to the top and hike the ridge above Whitewater Canyon. Especially after a wet winter, this hike can be accented with tall green grasses and a profusion of wildflowers and flowering bushes. Striking scenic vistas of distant mountain ranges in all directions and the valley below make this hike a must.
Palm Canyon Trail, Indian Canyons
Photo courtesy: Geo's Journal
The Palm Canyon Trail to the Stone Pools is in the Palm Springs Indian Canyons. This trail takes you through the lush jungle-like river bottom of Palm Canyon and out to backcountry High Desert plateaus, where the entire horizon seems to open up. Looking 14 miles south toward the distant Santa Rosa Mountains, the trail is surrounded by the San Jacintos, which soar dramatically from the canyon floor. Stunning views of the desert and Palm Springs appear to your rear, followed by a series of magnificent plunging cliffs, waterfalls, and exotic pools fed by clear, shimmering ribbons of water racing through the rock gorges.
Spitler Peak Trail
Spitler Peak Trail is in the San Jacinto Mountains. Visitors will be rewarded with the scenic, mountainous high country above Palm Springs by exploring this Trail. A more than 2,000-foot elevation climb and 10 miles round-trip length might satisfy hikers wanting a more challenging experience. But if you want an easy six-mile round trip and only 500-feet elevation gain, do the first three miles only of the hike. The vistas from this hike include Lake Hemet to the south, along with Thomas Mountain and Garner Valley beneath you and the San Jacinto Mountains to the west and east. A great mountain experience!

JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams (21-2) had no trouble Friday as they cruised to a 66-22 win over Brockway (14-7). With the win, the Rams will play tonight at 7:30 p.m. at St. Marys Area High School against Elk County Catholic (18-5) for the Allegheny Mountain League [AML] crown.
The Rams were led by juniors Cole Peterson and Cameron Grumley, scoring 21 and 19 points, respectively, which was more than enough to topple Brockway.
Johnsonburg jumped out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter, topped off by a 3-ball from Peterson; the Rovers, on the other hand, struggled to penetrate the Rams' defense and did not register a 2-point field goal all night.

Pioneers in Domestic Violence Prevention
The brainstorm began at a kitchen table, a meeting of two minds that would change the way local police respond to a silent horror. Two women — a nun and a social worker — were discussing what could be done to prevent violence in the home when an idea formed.
In 1990, the nun, Jane Shafer, and the social worker, Patricia Castillo, agreed to start an initiative identifiable by a memorable acronym: P.E.A.C.E. Once they decided its meaning — Putting an End to Abuse through Community Efforts — in the Elliott House at Our Lady of the Lake University, they took their inspiration to community and law enforcement leaders.
Twenty two years later, the San Antonio Police Department bears the unmistakable imprint of these OLLU graduates.[Read More]

Configuration project
There seems to be a lot of controversy as to the best way to put Nginx in front of Drupal without passing to an Apache server. Rather than explain the reasons all of these configs are wrong, I'd rather explain a better way. (Followed by bad)
Here's the Nginx config:
server { server_name domain.tld; root /var/www/drupal6; ## <-- Your only path reference. location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; } location = /robots.txt { allow all; log_not_found off; access_log off; } # This matters if you use drush location = /backup { deny all; } # Very rarely should these ever be accessed outside of your lan location ~* \.(txt|log)$ { allow 192.168.0.0/16; deny all; } location ~ \..*/.*\.php$ { return 403; } location / { # This is cool because no php is touched for static content try_files $uri @rewrite; } location @rewrite { # Some modules enforce no slash (/) at the end of the URL # Else this rewrite block wouldn't be needed (GlobalRedirect) rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1&$args; } location ~ \.php$ { fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini include fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_pass unix:/tmp/phpfpm.sock; } # Fighting with ImageCache? This little gem is amazing. location ~ ^/sites/.*/files/imagecache/ { try_files $uri @rewrite; } # Catch image styles for D7 too. location ~ ^/sites/.*/files/styles/ { try_files $uri @rewrite; } location ~* \.(js|css|png|jpg|jpeg|gif|ico)$ { expires max; log_not_found off; } }
Not So Simple
For a while, I ran Drupal shop. I spent a lot of time tweaking and perfecting the recipe. Many things were left out of the above to keep from over complicating things. If you think I probably dealt with something already that you're fighting with then ask me (MTecknology) for some additional information.
My aim was to deliver a very functional Nginx config that can be very nearly a drop in working model.
Little About The Others
I'd like to explain what some of the others do wrong.
listen 192.168.0.1:80;
There's really no need to tell Nginx to listen to only a single interface. By default Nginx will listen to all interfaces. If you're reading this, then there's probably not much reason for you to have this line.
access_log logs/host.access.log main;
This isn't that bad. There's nothing wrong with it. However, system logs should be in /var/log/. That's what that directory exists for. Try something like /var/log/nginx/yoursite_access.log.
For the love of god, stop doing this. Not YOU. Everyone out there that does this and spreads it. The root and index directives do not belong here. Check out the Pitfalls page for an explanation of why.
Again, NO! See IfIsEvil. If is very rarely ever (EVER) something you should use. heck out the Pitfalls page for an explanation of why.
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8888;
This isn't 'wrong' per say. You will get better performance and more security by binding to a socket though. You're no longer exposing a point of attack. With ports you're limited to the number of ports available on the system and you can't dynamically allocate them. In the case of sockets, you can control, allocate, and utilize them much easier.
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /path/to/drupal$fastcgi_script_name;
You know how I complained about "location = / { root /path/to/drupal; }" above? Why am I bringing it up again? If you set your root properly then instead of "/path/to/drupal" you could just use "$document_root". What makes it amazing is that you then have one less line that needs to change whenever you change things. The root is just setup.
include /usr/local/nginx/fastcgi.conf;
This is minor at best. A full path is not needed if your config is inside of your nginx config directory. The better option here is to just use "include fastcgi.conf;" Better would be to leave the .conf off of a file that's not read dynamically.
Drupal in a subdirectory
If you're running Drupal in a subdirectory, you will need to tweak the rewrite directive a bit. The example above would take a URL like example.com/drupal/node/123 and ask Drupal for example.com/index.php?q=drupal/node/123 , which obviously won't work for subdirectory hosting. This alternative rewrite string handles Drupal in one level of subdirectory (ie /drupal/node/123 , but not /directory/drupal/node/123 ). For more exotic configurations, simply tweak the regular expression used for the rewrite directive.
In case it wasn't obvious, if you are using imagecache with a non-standard upload directory (site option or media mover) you will need to update the regex above to the proper directory. Such as, if you move the upload directory to /uploads on your site, you will need to change the configuration as follows:
# location ~ ^/sites/.*/files/imagecache/ { location ~ ^/uploads/imagecache/ { #..... Stuff here }
Trouble with .php extensions/Drupal migrations
Even after reading IfIsEvil, there is a corner case for drupal sites that migrated from other software (forums, mediawiki, etc.). These site migrations use url aliases or menu mappings via modules to handle old .php files. This breaks the .php location provided above, so using HTTP error code 418 and a few conditionals, we pass on lookups or 404's to Drupal.
location ~ \.php$ { error_page 418 = @rewrite; recursive_error_pages on; fastcgi_split_path_info ^[^=](.+\.php)(/.+)$; include fastcgi_params; if ( $uri = /index.php ) { # not sure this conditional works, will have to check the debug logs break; } if ( !-e $document_root$fastcgi_script_name) { return 418; } #NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; fastcgi_read_timeout 240; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; }
Anything Else?
If you have any questions here, please ping me on IRC. I'm MTecknology on Freenode. I hang out in #nginx most of my time.

welding table legs
I have a 4x4x3/8 table and used 4" pipe legs and a 3x3x1/4 frame on top of the legs as the table is just tacked to the frame to keep it from warping...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

I have two 4x6x1/2" tables. I used 4" pipe for both. 2" will likely work fine, but with 4" the table has a ton more lateral stability. I put 5" wheels on mine, if I drag it around the shop and hit a chuck of steel I don't have to worry about the legs folding under the table. 4" square would work fine too. I think mine are 1/4"ish wall. I think 3/16" would be about as thin as I would want.

My table top is about 40"x60"x3/8" and I used 2x2x1/4" tubing for the legs, because that is what I had left from another project. I framed it with 2.5x2.5x1/4" angle iron. The2x2x1/8 tubing you mentioned should be sufficient to support your table, IMHO. I used 2x2x1/4" angle about a foot from the bottom to tie the legs together all the way around and to provide a place for a storage shelf.

I've got a 3x6x1/2 table and I used 2x2x.120 square for the legs. It works fine. No flex or anything, I built a rectangle top out of the box too set the top on. Keeps it steady. I just put a few light stitch welds to hold the top on. I checked it as I went to make sure it didn't warp the top. I still need wheels. It s heavy to move around!
I put the slot in the middle so I could clamp inthe middle of the table. I think that picture is before I finished since there is still some dross from cutting the pieces. Just a mock up with the top.MillerMatic 251

I just built a table with a 4x4x.500 top and I had some 2x2 heavy wall angle left over from somewhere. Usually you can order angle in 1/8th or a heavy wall which is around 1/4 inch. Here's a pic of some valves that I was welding flanges into. Each valve is 230 lbs and the table is holding good. I need to put some cross supports on the legs to keep it from wobling. I made the table 44 inches tall because I like welding with a bar stool.large valves.jpglarge valves2.jpg

I been thinking of building another table myself but I need to move mine loaded with mabe a ton of stuff on it. I'm need to decide between cast wheels mounted on the bench or putting in the lower shelf at the right height to just pick it up with a pallet jack and move it that way. Then I could have multiple tables and not have to make and mount wheels.

You already have to figure the weight of just the table itself plus the weight of anything you plan to put on top and on shelves. From that total determine what rating wheels you need. I've seen them from less than 100lb rating to 1,000 lb rating per wheel at tractor supply, I would suggest you go one size bigger than you "think" you need. Never hurts to have a margin of safety.
Your 1/2" plate is going to weigh about 20.40lbs per square foot based off this sight.
Then add the legs, etc..
