Hey there Lake, When ever I thawed pipes in the past, I have a water key put down out front at the road, I then went inside the house and hook to the pipe as it enters the house.
I totally agree don't hook onto the pipe just anywhere in the house because electricity might hop on a ground wire inside the house inside the wall, So I get that, That's a no brainer for me.
However, I never thought about the possibility of plastic being added, So now the electricity goes out to the pipe in the road, over to the neighbors, runs through the neighbors water pipe, takes the path of least resistance which turns out to be a wire ground in the wall goes outside up on the telephone pole down into the house you are trying to thaw water for in the first place, then catches a ground wire in that house and then down to the welding cable making it possible to burn down 2 houses.
I think that's what your trying to say.
I'm pretty sure that it would be pretty unusual but its nice to know what could happen, I will go back and read some more about checking the ohms, Thanks for every ones input.

Even a hi resistance joint can cause a problem. If I can I isolate one end of the incoming pipe. I don't really like to do it,, did one Monday morn though, one I have done in the past. Yes,, your ins co will not like this idea one bit.

I grabbed my meter the other day. I left the machine set to burn a 1/8 lo hi and at a dead short was 163A. The actual current maybe 25% more than the dial setting. Get a DC amp meter, Lincoln used to make one that hooked in line with the lead but I would and do use my machines to thaw, just don't cook it. On a 100% machine about 70% or so on the settings.
I was going to play with the fine and the meter but I was in a hurry and wanted a coffee.

Did a small section (about 20 ft) of a neighbor's 1/2" copper water line in their garage 2 weeks ago during the ice storm and power outage.
They had a 120 volt generator to run their fridge and a space heater and a few lights.
Used my LMSW-52 spot welder. Miller Rocks !
I dragged over my 7500 watt generator and plugged the spot welder into the 220 v outlet.
Brought along the 50 ft stick cables.
Opened the outdoor spigot first and connected the electrode cable to it using a vice grip.
Held the spot welder switch down for about 20 sec and then waited for 1 minute.
Ground clamp was moved about 1 ft at a time toward the warm part of the house.
Felt the tongs and copper lines to make sure they weren't getting too hot to touch.
With copper sweat connections, I didn't want to make more problems for my neighbor.
Took us about 3 hours and 12 beers as we were not in a hurry.
We had beer, VCR (what's a VCR?) and a small tv in the garage with us.
Life is good.
Luckily the water line was run on the garage ceiling and was exposed so
we had complete access to the entire length.
Garage is normally heated but they were out of power for about 9 hours
before they got their generator.
They were smart and turned off the water inside the house so the garage was isolated.
Small split and leak in the copper line before they turned the water off.
Will insulate lines the lines in the spring.
All turned out well and we got to meet more of our neighbors
who wandered by as we were doing this.
Wonder what they thought of us in lawn chairs drinking beer in the driveway.
I know this won't work for larger and longer pipes but sometimes you luck out.Thermal Arc GTSW400, Airco Heliwelder II, Miller Dynasty 350, Hypertherm 1000, oxy-fuel setup, metal cutting bandsaw, air compressor, drill press, etc.:

in 1996 the federal government pressured the people in my little two town water system to accept the gift of matching funds for a new water system. At that time ditches on the opposite side of the road were dug installing new plastic trunk line. Nearly all home drop lines in town were galvanized. To some homes drop lines were shortened to the new main, those on the other side of the street were lengthened to reach. In all cases 3/4" K copper was used to connect. Those I had influence with got a cable from the saddle where it joined the main. The contractor used a compression sleeve with rubber seals.
Prior to that I used my Twentieth Century 295 Amp AC. I disconnected the ground wire to the water supply, separated the pipe at the pressure reducing valve and turned on the welder at a low (70 amp) setting. After 15 minutes, if it wasn't flowing, I would turn it up to 100. This was successful on 100% of frozen pipes.
My competitor, an old farmer did not separate pipe from supply or disconnect ground cable, often he damaged things. I suspect he was less careful with amperage.
We now use a length of 1/4" "pex" (cross linked polyethylene), It is stiff and pushes easily down the inside of a pipe. Once we start a siphon from a bucket on the first floor, someone starts a bucket brigade from the neighbor's with warm water. Up to 75 feet are easily thawed this way.

Sen-Sen Licorice Bits
Powerful Licorice Taste In a Tiny Tidbit
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Sen-Sen Licorice Bits …
"I bought Sen-Sen years ago and could never find them. I am glad you folks have them." - Fran Kran, Sauquoit, NY
"My Dad always had them in his pocket in the 1940 and my brother and I always did things for him and he would reward us with 2 of them. I love the flavor and as my husband has always ate them and love the flavor." - Margaret, Ketchum,
"When I was about kindergarten age one of my favorite memories of my grandfather was that he picked up my sister and I in his Nash to go to my grandparents' house for Thanksgiving as our parents were out of town. He had a Sen-Sen dispenser on the dashboard of the car and he gave my sister and me Sen-Sen. I just loved the taste of it. The entire day was probably the best day I ever spent with him. When I eat Sen-Sen, which I love the taste, I automatically think of that day with my grandfather." - John, Denver, CO
"When I was a kid growing up in Alaska, my mom use to take us to an old-time country store for groceries, and at the checkout I would always get a pack. I haven't had them in years!" - Kerri Lewis, Wideman, AR

City police said Galvan was shot just inside the door of his house at 3017 McDonald St., near Edsall Avenue. Officers and medics were called there about 1:20 a.m., and Galvan was declared dead at the scene, police said.
Investigators have not established a motive, but they do not believe the shooting happened during a home invasion or robbery.
No arrests have been made, and police have not released any information about suspects.
The coroner's office confirmed that Galvan's death was a homicide and that he died from a gunshot wound or wounds.
Galvan's Facebook page lists his hometown as East Chicago. It's unclear how long he had lived in Fort Wayne. The cover photo of his Facebook page is a close-up shot of a Taurus-brand handgun.
Police said no weapons were found at the shooting scene and that Galvan did not return fire.
His death was the sixth homicide in Fort Wayne and Allen County this year, the coroner's office said.

Faced with increasing competition from both large supermarket chains and specialty operators, Magruder's — which dates to the 19th century — is closing another store, this time its Silver Spring location next week.
Magruder's had 10 stores in 2005 and will be down to five — in Gaithersburg, Rockville, Chevy Chase, Alexandria, Va., and Vienna, Va. — once the Silver Spring location closes. That is expected by July 20, said Sheri Glisson, a manager at the store in the Kemp Mill Shopping Center.
Corporate executives with Magruder's, whose headquarters is in Rockville, did not return calls seeking comment.
About 50 employees work at the Silver Spring store, and some could go on to the remaining Magruder stores or be picked up by Shalom Kosher, Glisson said. Shalom Kosher, a family-owned market almost four decades old, has outgrown its space on University Boulevard in Wheaton and is moving to the larger Kemp Mill space vacated by Magruder's, owner Larry Dekelbaum said.
"The Kosher world has exploded," Dekelbaum said in a statement, "and we want to be able to service our customers with as many Kosher products as possible."
Besides specialty grocers, Magruder's is facing increasing competition from major grocery chains such as Giant Food, Safeway and Wegman's, along with big-box, one-stop retailers that are selling more groceries, such as Wal-Mart and Target. Dollar stores also are selling more grocery items.
Not only can they offer more products at more competitive prices, but stores such as Giant and Safeway offer increased services that include curbside pickup in some areas.
Smaller grocers such as Magruder's can compete by establishing "clear points of differentiation," said retail analyst Thomas Imlay.
"Most believe that focusing on their primary shoppers, offering products they want to buy at fair prices and treating these customers with lots of tender, loving care will be the key to successful growth," Imlay said.
To compete, such grocers can offer more personalized service, higher-quality fresh products, expanded wine and cheese selections and takeout gourmet foods, he said.
"New concepts, neighborhood marketing and innovation will be the key to success," Imlay said. "Some will make it work. Others will fail. ... In the customers' eyes, it's all about how well a retailer can satisfy what they are looking for in their shopping experience, and how well the retailer does at creating the perception of value in their minds."
Magruder's roots go back to 1875, when John Magruder operated two Washington, D.C., neighborhood stores, one near Chevy Chase Circle and the other in Georgetown. The late Louis H. Fanaroff and CEO Stanford Steppa bought the two Magruder's stores in 1967 and added others.
Shalom Kosher plans to retain many features of Magruder's at the Silver Spring site, such as the large produce department, quality bakery and basic pricing, Dekelbaum said. The new store will feature a large deli counter and a gourmet meat department.
Supervalu shares slide
Other grocers are having problems. Shares of Supervalu, which owns Shoppers Food & Pharmacy in Lanham and other grocery chains, fell about 50 percent Thursday to $2.69 after the company reported a 45 percent decline in net earnings for its fiscal 2013 first quarter.
Executives said they would cut $250 million in operating costs during the next two years in an attempt to lower prices and compete better.
"It is essential that we move even more aggressively to lower prices," CEO Craig Herkert said in a statement. "We will be pursuing deeper and more structural cost savings initiatives. Also, we are adopting more flexible financing facilities, reducing our near-term capital expenditures and suspending our dividend."

Title: A budget phasing approach to Europa Jupiter System Mission Science
Primary Author: David E. Smith
Secondary Author(s): N/A
Institution: NASA Goddard Space Flight Cener
Summary: Due to budget constraints, the proposed Europa Jupiter System Mission is unlikely to occur as planned. We propose to split EJSM into three small, more affordable and less risky missions that return science earlier (about the same time as the launch date of ELSM) and in easier to accomodate budgets.
Panel Selection: Satellites: Galilean satellites, Titan, and the other satellites of the giant planets.

Test ID: BRUCB
Brucella Culture, Blood
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of brucellosis
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Brucella are facultative intracellular gram negative-staining bacilli capable of producing the disease "brucellosis" in humans. Human disease likely is acquired by contact with animals infected with the organism (Brucella abortus, Brucella suis, Brucella melitensis, and occasionally Brucella canis) either by direct contact or by ingestion of meat or milk. The signs and symptoms associated with brucellosis may include fever, night sweats, chills, weakness, malaise, headache, and anorexia. The physical examination may reveal lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. A definitive diagnosis of brucellosis is made by recovering the organism from blood, fluid (including urine), or tissue specimens.
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.
Negative (reported as positive or negative)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Isolation of a Brucella species indicates infection
Cultures of blood and/or bone marrow are positive in 70% to 90% of acute Brucella infections, but much less so in subacute or chronic infections. In these latter instances, culture yield is highest from the specific tissue involved, or serology may be necessary to establish diagnosis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Although Brucellae are relatively resistant to adverse environmental conditions, excessive delay in the transport of material for culture to the laboratory may result in a lower yield.
Mayo Medical Laboratories does not perform species identification of Brucella; these isolates should be submitted to the State Health Department laboratory.
If a significant delay is expected, specimens should be refrigerated.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Risk Assessment
Step 2 - Dose-Response Assessment
Step 2 - Dose-Response Assessment: To document the relationship between dose and toxic effect.
A dose-response relationship describes how the likelihood and severity of adverse health effects (the responses) are related to the amount and condition of exposure to an agent (the dose provided). Although this webpage refers to the "dose-response" relationship, the same principles generally apply for studies where the exposure is to a concentration of the agent (e.g., airborne concentrations applied in inhalation exposure studies), and the resulting information is referred to as the "concentration-response" relationship. The term "exposure-response" relationship may be used to describe either a dose-response or a concentration-response, or other specific exposure conditions.
Typically, as the dose increases, the measured response also increases. At low doses there may be no response. At some level of dose the responses begin to occur in a small fraction of the study population or at a low probability rate. Both the dose at which response begin to appear and the rate at which it increases given increasing dose can be variable between different pollutants, individuals, exposure routes, etc.
The shape of the dose-response relationship depends on the agent, the kind of response (tumor, incidence of disease, death, etc), and the experimental subject (human, animal) in question. For example, there may be one relationship for a response such as 'weight loss' and a different relationship for another response such as 'death'. Since it is impractical to study all possible relationships for all possible responses, toxicity research typically focuses on testing for a limited number of adverse effects. Upon considering all available studies, the response (adverse effect), or a measure of response that leads to an adverse effect (known as a 'precursor' to the effect), that occurs at the lowest dose is selected as the critical effect for risk assessment. The underlying assumption is that if the critical effect is prevented from occurring, then no other effects of concern will occur.
As with hazard identification, there is frequently a lack of dose-response data available for human subjects. When data are available, they often cover only a portion of the possible range of the dose-response relationship, in which case some extrapolation must be done in order to extrapolate to dose levels that are lower than the range of data obtained from scientific studies. Also, as with hazard identification, animal studies are frequently done to augment the available data. Studies using animal subjects permit the use of study design to control the number and composition (age, gender, species) of test subjects, the levels of dose tested, and the measurement of specific responses. Use of a designed study typically leads to more meaningful statistical conclusions than does an uncontrolled observational study were additional confounding factors must also be considered for their impact on the conclusions. However, dose-response relationships observed from animal studies are often at much higher doses that would be anticipated for humans, so must be extrapolated to lower doses, and animal studies must also be extrapolated from that animal species to humans in order to predict the relationship for humans. These extrapolations, among others, introduce uncertainty into the dose-response analysis.
Dose-response assessment is a two-step process. The first step is an assessment of all data that are available or can be gathered through experiments, in order to document the dose-response relationship(s) over the range of observed doses (i.e, the doses that are reported in the data collected). However, frequently this range of observation may not include sufficient data to identify a dose where the adverse effect is not observed (i.e., the dose that is low enough to prevent the effect) in the human population. The second step consists of extrapolation to estimate the risk (probably of adverse effect) beyond the lower range of available observed data in order to make inferences about the critical region where the dose level begins to cause the adverse effect in the human population.
Basic Dose-Response Calculations & Concepts
As a component of the first step of the process discussed above, the scientific information is evaluated for a better biological understanding of how each type of toxicity or response (adverse effect) occurs; the understanding of how the toxicity is caused is called the "mode of action" (which is defined as a sequence of key events and processes, starting with interaction of an agent with a cell, proceeding through operational and anatomical changes, and resulting in the effect, for example, cancer formation). Based on this mode of action, the Agency determines the nature of the extrapolation used in the second step of the process discussed above, either through non-linear or linear dose-response assessment.
Non-linear dose-response assessment
Non-linear dose response assessment has its origins in the threshold hypothesis, which holds that a range of exposures from zero to some finite value can be tolerated by the organism with essentially no chance of expression of the toxic effect, and the threshold of toxicity is where the effects (or their precursors) begin to occur. It is often prudent to focus on the most sensitive members of the population; therefore, regulatory efforts are generally made to keep exposures below the population threshold, which is defined as the lowest of the thresholds of the individuals within a population. If the "mode of action" information (discussed above) suggests that the toxicity has a threshold, which is defined as the dose below which no deleterious effect is expected to occur, then type of assessment is referred to by the Agency as a "non-linear" dose-response assessment. The term "nonlinear" is used here in a narrower sense than its usual meaning in the field of mathematics; a nonlinear assessment uses a dose-response relationship whose slope is zero (i.e., no response) at (and perhaps above) a dose of zero.
A No-Observed-Adverse-Effect Level (NOAEL) is the highest exposure level at which no statistically or biologically significant increases are seen in the frequency or severity of adverse effect between the exposed population and its appropriate control population. In an experiment with several NOAELs, the regulatory focus is normally on the highest one, leading to the common usage of the term NOAEL as the highest experimentally determined dose without a statistically or biologically significant adverse effect. In cases in which a NOAEL has not been demonstrated experimentally, the term "lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL)" is used, which this is the lowest dose tested.
Mathematical modeling, which can incorporate more that one effect level (i.e., evaluates more data than a single NOAEL or LOAEL), is sometimes used to develop an alternative to a NOAEL known as a Benchmark Dose (BMD) or Benchmark Dose Lower-confidence Limit (BMDL). In developing the BMDL, a predetermined change in the response rate of an adverse effect (called the benchmark response or BMR; generally in the range of 1 to 10% depending on the power of a toxicity study) is selected, and the BMDL is a statistical lower confidence limit on the dose that produces the selected response. When the non-linear approach is applied, the LOAEL, NOAEL, or BMDL is used as the point of departure for extrapolation to lower doses.
The reference dose (RfD) is an oral or dermal dose derived from the NOAEL, LOAEL or BMDL by application of generally order-of-magnitude uncertainty factors (UFs). These uncertainty factors take into account the variability and uncertainty that are reflected in possible differences between test animals and humans (generally 10-fold or 10x) and variability within the human population (generally another 10x); the UFs are multiplied together: 10 x 10 = 100x. If a LOAEL is used, another uncertainty factor, generally 10x, is also used. In the absence of key toxicity data (duration or key effects), an extra uncertainty factor(s) may also be employed. Sometimes a partial UF is applied instead of the default value of 10x, and this value can be less than or greater than the default. Often the partial value is ½ log unit (the square root of 10) or 3.16 (rounded to 3-fold in risk assessment). Note, that when two UFs derived from ½ log units are multiplied together (3 x 3) the result is a 10 (equal to the full UF from which the two partial factors were derived).
Thus, the RfD is determined by use of the following equation:
RfD = NOAEL (or LOAEL or BMDL) / UFs
In general, the RfD is defined as an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of a daily oral exposure to the human population (including sensitive groups, such as asthmatics, or life stages, such as children or the elderly) that is likely to be without an appreciable risk of deleterious effects during a lifetime. The RfD is generally expressed in units of milligrams per kilogram of bodyweight per day: mg/kg/day.A similar term, know as reference concentration (RfC), is used to assess inhalation risks, where concentration refers to levels in the air (generally expressed in the units of milligrams agent per cubic meter of air: mg/m3). For more information, please see A Review of the Reference Dose and Reference Concentration Processes.
Linear dose-response assessment
If the "mode of action" information (discussed above) suggests that the toxicity does not have a threshold, then this type of assessment is referred to by the Agency as a "linear" dose-response assessment. In the case of carcinogens, if "mode of action" information is insufficient, then linear extrapolation is typically used as the default approach for dose-response assessment (for more detailed information, please see EPA's Guidelines for Carcinogen Risk Assessment). In this type of assessment, there is theoretically no level of exposure for such a chemical that does not pose a small, but finite, probability of generating a carcinogenic response. The extrapolation phase of this type of assessment does not use UFs; rather, a straight line is drawn from the point of departure for the observed data (typically the BMDL) to the origin (where there is zero dose and zero response). The slope of this straight line, called the slope factor or cancer slope factor, is use to estimate risk at exposure levels that fall along the line. When linear dose-response is used to assess cancer risk, EPA calculates excess lifetime cancer risk (i.e., probability that an individual will contract cancer over a lifetime) resulting from exposure to a contaminant by considering the degree to which individuals were exposed, as compared to the slope factor. Thus,
Cancer Risk = Exposure x Slope Factor
Total cancer risk is calculated by adding the individual cancer risks for each pollutant in each pathway of concern (i.e., inhalation, ingestion, and dermal absorption), then summing the risk for all pathways.
A similar term, know as inhalation unit risk (IUR), is used to assess inhalation risks, where the exposure-response relationship refers to concentrations in the air.
Note: When there are alternative procedures having significant biological support, the Agency encourages assessments to be performed using these alternative procedures, if feasible, in order to shed light on the uncertainties in the assessment, recognizing that the Agency may decide to give greater weight to one set of procedures than another in a specific assessment or management decision.

Interpretive Handbook
83857 :
Lyme Disease Antibody, Immunoblot, Spinal Fluid
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Lyme disease is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The spirochete is transmitted to humans through the bite of Ixodes species ticks. Endemic areas for Lyme disease in the United States (US) correspond with the distribution of 2 tick species, Ixodes dammini (Northeastern and Upper Midwestern US) and Ixodes pacificus (West Coast US). In Europe, Ixodes ricinus transmits the spirochete.
Lyme disease exhibits a variety of symptoms that may be confused with immune and inflammatory disorders. Any of the following clinical manifestations may be present in patients with Lyme disease: skin lesions or cardiac or neurological disease. In the first stage of disease, inflammation around the tick bite causes skin lesions, erythema chronicum migrans (ECM)-a unique expanding skin lesion with central clearing that results in a ring-like appearance. Culture of skin biopsies obtained near the margins of ECM are frequently positive. Neurologic and cardiac symptoms may appear with stage 2 and arthritic symptoms with stage 3 of Lyme disease. In some cases, a definitive distinction between stages is not always seen. Further, secondary symptoms may occur even though the patient does not recall a tick bite or rash.
The presence of antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is suggestive of neurologic Lyme disease (Lyme neuroborreliosis). PCR testing also may be used to confirm late-stage neurologic disease. However, the sensitivity of PCR is low when testing CSF.
According to the manufacturer's package insert, early antibiotic treatment of Lyme disease can resolve clinical symptoms and prevent progression of the disease to later stages. However, the early administration of antibiotics may suppress the antibody response to levels that are undetectable by current laboratory tests.(1)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Supplementing positive Lyme disease antibody screen (EIA) results and serving as an aid in the serologic diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Currently no criteria exist for the interpretation of immunoblot testing on cerebrospinal fluid. The presence of any bands may represent either intrathecal antibody production or passive transfer of antibody from blood.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
A negative result does not rule out Lyme neuroborreliosis.
Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical findings.
False-positive results may be caused by breakdown of the blood-brain barrier, or by the introduction of blood into the cerebrospinal fluid at collection.
Because clinical studies are limited, the advantage of immunoassays over PCR (or vice versa) has not been conclusively demonstrated for diagnosing central nervous system Lyme disease. If the result for the immunoassay is negative and there is a high suspicion of Lyme neuroborreliosis, consider performing the PCR assay (PBORR / Lyme Disease [Borrelia burgdorferi], Molecular Detection, PCR).
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.
IgG: none detected
IgM: none detected

Comments On Apr 27, 2009:Very nice grab bar. Way stronger than the stock one. Put it on my 660 Raptor. I like that it has very thick walls and has the outside hand holds as well. Makes it very easy to grab from the side without hitting your hand on the taillight or the flag mount as I used to with the old grab bar. I liked the quality so much I bought an Armadillo six pack rack for my 350X.

My Brilliant Career
Both actress Judy Davis and director Gillian Armstrong made a big splash on the international scene with this charming Australian film that examines late 19th century Australian society from the perspective of a headstrong woman who refuses to follow convention. The film charts the developing self-awareness of Sybylla Melvyn (Judy Davis) as she grows from an insecure tomboy to a self-assured woman. Sybylla wants to be a writer and stuns her family and friends by her insistence on following her dream. Despite the objections of her family acquaintances, she rejects the marriage proposal from the rich Harry Beecham (Sam Neill) to continue going her own way, in spite of the odds stacked against her in a repressive Victorian environment.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Shelter seeks foster families, adoptions
By KATIE FITZPATRICK
Staff writer
Ten dogs living in deplorable conditions in an Arkansas home have been brought to Calvert County to find new homes.
The Humane Society of the United States assisted in the rescue of 95 animals from an Arkansas home in July after authorities discovered them living in filth and suffering from a lack of basic care, according to a press release. Nearly 50 dogs and puppies of those rescued were brought to Gaithersburg on Wednesday and were picked up by various rescues and shelters in Maryland.
The Humane Society of Calvert County picked up 10 dogs from Gaithersburg, said HSCC adoptions counselor Kirstyn Northrop Cobb.
"We received a call from the Humane Society of the United States stating that they did have this large hoarding situation in Arkansas, and they don't have an actual shelter, so they go in and save the animals and disperse them to other various shelters throughout the country," Northrop Cobb said. "At this time, we are at a point where we had quite a few adoptions [last] weekend, so we had extra room."
The Humane Society of the United States has a large truck specially outfitted to transport large numbers of dogs, Northrop Cobb said, which made it easy to bring the dogs to Gaithersburg.
On Wednesday, four HSCC volunteers traveled in three cars to Gaithersburg and picked up 10 dogs, Northrop Cobb said.
"It was a long drive … but [the dogs] are all good," she said. "We brought them back and they all had their dinner."
Some of the dogs' coats are in poor condition, Northrop Cobb said. To help get their coats healthy again, Northrop Cobb said someone brought by scrambled eggs for the dogs to eat. She said the Omega-3 fatty acids in the eggs will bring back shine to their coats.
Northrop Cobb said although the dogs were "overwhelmed" from being brought to a new place, they are all doing well. She said some of the dogs that are still a bit anxious may "do better in a foster situation, and we are looking for foster families for them." The other dogs, she said, are ready for adoption and will be available this weekend.
The rescued dogs range in age from 7 weeks to 10 years old, and range in size from 3 to 50 pounds, she said. Four of the dogs are male, and six are female, of which the majority are spayed or neutered, she said.
"[They have] been through a lot, and this is just one more thing for them to get past and move on," Northrop Cobb said. "They seem to be doing very well."

DES MOINES (MCT) – Top Senate Democrats said Thursday they plan to set a state aid funding level for K-12 schools in the fiscal 2016 school year and provide more money to expand access to preschools for 4-year-olds who currently face access shortages in Iowa communities.
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said he expects his 26-member caucus will get an allowable growth increase for the 2015-16 school year on Monday and move the issue to the full Senate for floor debate by the following week to abide by a state law that requires action by mid-February.
"We believe it's important to obey state law," said Gronstal, noting that Iowa's forward-funding law requires the Legislature to establish a future financing level for elementary and secondary schools within 30 days after the governor submits his budget plan – something Gov. Terry Branstad did on Jan. 14.
The governor and legislative Republicans have ignored the law in recent years, opting in favor of a biennial approach that avoids overpromising schools state aid before a clearer picture of state tax collections is available.
Branstad and the Legislature approved state aid increases for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 last session, but the governor did not make a fiscal 2016 recommendation in the budget plan he unveiled this month and House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said his chamber will wait until the 2015 session to address state aid for K-12 schools.
Paulsen said GOP lawmakers don't want to repeat a situation that occurred under former Gov. Chet Culver where a state aid increase was set but then had to be cut by 10 percent when an economic recession slashed state revenues.
Senate President Pam Jochum, D-Dubuque, said Senate Democrats also expect to propose a boost in preschool funding to address thousands of youngsters who are unable to get into early childhood education programs that have helped close the state's achievement gap.
Gronstal declined to say how much increased fiscal 2016 state aid or higher preschool money Democrats will propose.
Paulsen said no one has approached him about preschool funding levels this session, but he added "if the Senate Democrats are saying it will have a significant pricetage, my guess is it will be pretty big."
On another topic, leaders from both political parties in both legislative chambers said they expect to have joint fiscal 2015 budget targets earlier than normal, and Paulsen and Senate GOP Leader Bill Dix of Shell Rock said Republicans will stand firm in resisting efforts to balance ongoing revenue with ongoing spending.
The budget plan that Branstad submitted last week projected net state receipts of $6.983 billion and $7.719 billion in available funds, which was below the expenditure limitation of nearly $7.65 billion. The governor proposed spending $7 billion next fiscal year – a $508 million boost in general fund spending needed to cover commitments to tax relief and education reforms that were approved last session.
Paulsen said he expected next year's budget would spend more than current levels, but added that his caucus views the surplus as an overpayment by taxpayers that should be returned to them.

After the sound check, we were all kicked out until the doors opened and we came back in after handing over our tickets. It was an incredible show. Dark Star with Mind Left Body Jam. "The bus came by and I got on."
I never saw the Dead. Their music and disc golf has been getting me through these days with a smile on my face. I'm going to see Mickey Hart, 7 Walkers, Bruce Hornsby, and Keith and Donna's son, Zion in a couple weeks at Hoxeyville. There will be a solar disc golf course set up there. A lil' slice of heaven. I'm in Michigan, avidly throwing the plastic. Glad to be a part of the group. Message me if you're in the area and want to toss a round with me.

Alley of fury in Cheung Sha Wan
I had a blast helping out director Lawrence Gray shooting a fight scene for his film 'Lust and Found'. We filmed in a alleyway just around the corner from the old B&E offices in Sheung Wan.
It was great to have so many familiar faces on the team. Production manager Paul Ducommon-dir-Verron and assistant production designer Simon Lam were both on the crew for my movie 'Borderland'.
I also 'lent' Lawrence some new members of the clan, including my production assistant Yummy Cheng (whose name alone would caused an harassment suit on a Hollywood set), as well as camera ace Kamil Janowski. In the shot above, he's impersonating an owl to try and cheer me up. It didn't work.
My second in command on the action front is Jay Cheung, rapper, actor and stunt dude extraordinaire. He's above with actor Philippe Joly, an accomplished martial artist who came up with the basic choreography for the scene we shot.
The cast included Arran Hawk, one of the survivors of 'Ghosts of the Forbidden City', the Roger Corman masterpiece shot up at our ACE studio in Nanhai.
Whatever the time pressure, there's always space for ballroom dancing. Co-stars Jai Day (left) and Vivenne Tseng watch us waltz.
The tough thing about shooting in an alley using natural light is that the sun moves so damn fast! Something should really be done about that...
Here's me figuring out an angle while Jay takes an uppercut from Philippe.
Wrapped! Team B&E and 3 Guys with the mighty Mak Sifu, who helped us with crowd control!
Traditional Hung Gar Kung Fu School Brings Classical Chinese Combat to Kowloon.
I am proud to be collaborating wth my teacher, the great Mak Chi-kong Sifu, to open a new o Kwoon / Martial Club. The school is located in our converted warehouse space in Cheung Sha Wan, which already houses my B&E production office and Reel East movie memorabilia warehouse/showroom.
We teach traditional Hung Kuen kung fu from the Lam Sai-wing lineage. Mak Sifu is teaching from 6-9 every weekday evening, except Wednesdays, and the syllabus covers empty hand forms and weapons, as well as the self-defence and health enhancing aspects of the art.
Mak Sifu also teaches Lion Dance and traditional drumming.
The kwoon has an open space suitable for forms practice, as well as kick bag, wooden dummy and most other traditional training aids (including some non-traditional ones, such as a stretching machine!). Practitioners of other styles are welcome to come and rent the space during available hours for their own training.
We had a successful pre-opening party. Above is occasional kung fu player Raven Tao, demanding someone display the pole for her.
We are located at Block E, 1st Floor, Cheong Fat Factory Building, 346, Fuk Wing Street, Cheung Sha Wan, its the bg blue building opposite exit C1 of the Cheung Sha Wan MTR.
For further information please contact Mak Chi-kong Sifu at 91833379.

Immediately after birth, baby seeks visual stimulation beyond his blurry surroundings. Place the Double-Sided First Book to the side where baby's head is turned, to offer enriching visual stimulation
Baby's visual field is still limited. When baby lies on his stomach, raising his head to look at the book, he is strengthening his neck and shoulder muscles.
High contrast colors - black, white and red
Brightly colored, complex 3D illustrations for tummy time
Easily fold and take along wherever you go.
The Double-Sided Book includes two sides, one that offers intense visual stimulation and another that offers subtle stimulation. The book is appropriate for babies from day one, when their eyesight is still limited. Make sure you place the book at the appropriate distance from baby (8-12in/20-25cm in the first 2 months).
If your baby seems restless or uncomfortable (crying, averting her gaze, etc), adjust the level of stimulation. Move the illustrations to find an image he finds pleasing or cover some of the images with a soft bib or blanket, leaving only one within his field of vision. Alternatively, simply turn the book to the other side.
If your baby seems bored or uninterested, make sure the book is placed at an appropriate distance. Move the book every so often to expose baby to new illustrations.

5 Product Reviews
Excellant productI took a chance and purchased one stable for my two grandaughters. I was expecting trouble but they share it and the horses. I'm having fun wathching them play with it.
Great QualityMy four-year-old daughter received this as a gift and is so pleased with it. She especially likes setting up the stable in different ways and arranging the fencing. The pieces are durable and nicely finished and painted. I was very impressed with the quality!
Nice productI bought this for my daughter who loves horses. The quality of the product is good and there are many. many horses and accessories to play with. I looked at a lot of sets like this and by far this was the best for the money
Awesome horse stableIt seems like every year for her birthday or Christmas, my 5-year-old daughter wants a horse! We live in the city, so of course there is no way we could ever get her an actual horse, but we did buy her this play set. She absolutely loves it too! It comes with 4 different types of horses and their respective baby horses, and different horse accessories like a trough and hay bales. The barn is also beautifully painted, and there are stables for the horses inside. This is a great product, our daughter loves it, and we are very glad we bought it!
So HappyMy 3 yr old daughter is in love with horses. She hasn't stoped playing with this toy! Even when she is not able to play with the actual stable, she enjoys taking the horses with her in her purse. I love how the doors slide open and the product is durable. Great find!

Tons of fun projects and ideas
In the early 1900s, the measure of a man (or boy) depended on his ability to build whatever he needed with the rawest materials, minimal technology and maximum ingenuity. And though a century has passed, this compendium of 359 vintage projects - all published in Popular Mechanics early in the 20th century - pays tribute to such manly self-sufficiency. Some projects are quaintly dated. Others, like plans for a workbench and missionary library table remain useful today. Many, from kites and stilts to the astonishing water bicycle, are just plain fun for kids and dads to work on together. Eventually the video games and TV get old - here's the book to have on hand when that happens!

Best Uses
My grandson can't wait to get home to start working on some of the fun things in the book with his dad.
I bought this for Christmas for our 13 year old grandson. He loved it!!! Couldn't put it down all Christmas and already has several projects picked out. Grandpa will have to get busy gathering supplies for building things now!

- Heat oven to 190c/fan 170c/gas 5. Butter 2 x 20cm sandwich tins and line each with a circle of baking parchment. In a large bowl, beat together all the cake ingredients until you have a smooth, soft mixture. Spoon the mixture equally into the two tins, smoothing over the top of each with the back of the spoon. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when gently pressed. Turn the cakes onto a cooling rack.
- Heat the sugar, 2 tbsp water and Disaronno together until the sugar has dissolved. Leave to cool, about 10 mins. Use a large serrated knife to cut each cake in half. Brush the syrup all over all four pieces of cake with a pastry brush.
- For the filling, whip the cream until it forms soft peaks. Beat the mascarpone and caster sugar in a large bowl to loosen, then fold in the cream and mix together until smooth.
- Spoon a third of the cream mixture over one of the cake halves. Scatter over some of the fruit (you don't want to cover the cake), then sandwich another half on top. Spread with cream and fruit as before and top with another half of cake and more cream and berries. Lay the final cake half on top. Gently press down, then wrap tightly in cling film and leave in the fridge overnight. To stop the cream from melting, this cake needs to be transported to the picnic in a cooler box. At the picnic, carefully remove clingfilm and dust with icing sugar to decorate, if you like.

Comments, questions and tips
Absolutely delicious! Baked this cake today, so easy to make and looked amazing!
Made a few changes - used 100g of castor sugar for the sponge and left out the syrup and it was still sweet enough, Quite an indulgent cake which I did find quite heavy and not light like a lot of the reviews, but would definitely make again!
I chickened out of cutting the cake as I was scared I'd mess it up, so I spread the filling on the top of one cake, put the other top top and then spread the rest of the frosting over the top and decorated with the remaining raspberries. I loved it but felt that the frosting could have done with a touch more sugar to make it sweeter.
