Our new favorite clam chowder. Photo by Daniel Norman | IST.
Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Fish, Seafood & Caviar
Bar Harbor Seafood
Page 1: Gourmet Clam Chowder
You'll find Bar Harbor Foods on a picturesque wharf on a beautiful sheltered cove in Downeast Maine, Holmes Bay. Gulls fly across the water in front of the small, two-story modern facility and fishing boats are tied up at its dock—the same boats that have brought in the "fresh off the docks" catch that gets canned by Bar Harbor Foods. A dedicated team makes gourmet seafood products in small batches—clams, soups and sauces packed and canned mostly by hand, as it has been done for generations.
New England Clam Chowder
What wonderful comfort food this is: pinky-beige chowder with lots of salmon-pink colored pieces of clam and diced rectangles of white potatoes. We weren't even motivated to add our customary grind of fresh pepper to enhance it, although a bit of fresh parsley hit the spot. This is our favorite product of the Bar Harbor line, and it took almost no effort to turn it into a delicious dish. Although the soup is condensed, we added just 1/4 can of milk to make a thick, hearty chowder. Although it would serve four as a dinner portion, the can makes a full meal lunch for a hearty eater, and left us in eager anticipation of the next can. The company makes other chowders—corn, fish, lobster and salmon. We look forward to trying them next.
Our new favorite clam chowder and clam juice.
There are also four bisques—clam, crab, lobster and salmon. The difference between a chowder and a bisque is that a bisque is a more elegant recipe, puréed until smooth, and often contains sherry.
Clam Juice
If you like clam juice in your Bloody Mary (a.k.a. Bloody Caesar—not after the Roman emperor, but, as with the chef at the Waldorf who created Caesar salad, more likely a culinarian or a bartender by the same name), use this one. It is a world apart from the supermarket brands—it's the pure liquid left over from processing the clams. If you use clam juice to make broth or soup, this clam juice will improve the flavor.
There are classy canned clams in Bar Harbor, too, as well as other fine canned seafood.

Lewis Hamilton concedes Mercedes have a long night ahead as the team needs to improve ahead of Saturday's qualifying in Singapore.
Having topped Friday evening's session, much was expected from Hamilton and his Mercedes team.
However, in the night session, which only began at 9:30pm under lights, the Brit was trounced by Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull Racing.
The German posted a 1:44.249 to beat the Mercedes drivers by a full second as they lined up three and fourth behind the Bulls.
Hamilton, though, says all is not lost as Mercedes know where they need to improve ahead of Saturday night's qualifying.
"It wasn't the perfect Friday for us but we got on with our programme and know where we have to make improvements for tomorrow," he said.
"The balance of the car felt really good in P1 but it definitely went away from us in P2.
"There is a lot of work to do this evening but we're used to that on a Friday night and will just get on with it and focus on our car and performance.
"It's so difficult to overtake around at this circuit that you want to qualify as high up as possible and, of course, aim for the front row but that will be tough."
The Brit, who already has won Singapore victory to his name, also weighed in on the changes to the circuit and most notably to Turn 10.
"The circuit is much improved here without the chicane and Turn 10 feels like a much nicer corner now."

Cover Letter for HC-12a ® Petition Response
This letter and its attachment comprise EPA's response to the December, 1995 petition from OZ Technology requesting that EPA find HC-12a acceptable and HFC-134a unacceptable. The letter discusses general principles of flammability risk, while the attachment responds in a very detailed manner to the documents submitted with the petition. The full response is 30 pages long and may be obtained from the Air and Radiation Docket at 202-260-7548. The docket number is A-91-42 and the file number is VI-C-17. It is also available in WordPerfect 5.1 format (120K). The petition was not submitted electronically, so it is not available online.
Gary Lindgren
OZ Technology
N. 10900 Howell Road
Rathdrum, Idaho 83858
Registered Mail; receipt requested
Dear Mr. Lindgren:
Thank you for your petition, dated December 5, 1995, requesting that 1) EPA change the status of HC-12a under the SNAP program from unacceptable to acceptable, and 2) EPA change the status of HFC-134a under the SNAP program from acceptable to unacceptable. In reviewing this petition, EPA considered the documents to which it responds in this petition, as well as all information previously submitted regarding HC-12a, OZ-12 and HFC-134a.
For the reasons stated in the enclosed attachment, EPA denies this petition. In summary, none of the documents submitted as part of this petition adequately addresses the use of HC-12a as a CFC-12 substitute. While some documents answer a limited number of questions, they all neglect one or more of the following aspects of flammability risk:
1. Risk assessment is a necessary tool
The key measure of risk posed by flammable refrigerants is a scientifically valid, comprehensive risk assessment. Such an assessment must accurately reflect potential leak scenarios, potential ignition sources, the likelihood of ignition, the consequences of ignition or explosion, and potential measures to mitigate the risk. None of the documents submitted with this or earlier petitions represents such a risk assessment. Without such an assessment, no positive statements can be made about the actual risk flammable refrigerants pose to people using them. Subjective measures, experiments that do not reflect actual systems, and questionable science do not allow for a credible estimate of risk posed by the flammability of HC-12a.
2. Flammability risk differs with new system design versus
existing systems
New systems can be designed to adequately address the risk of using flammable refrigerants. Existing systems were never intended to use such refrigerants, and therefore do not specifically protect consumers from that flammability. EPA requires a risk assessment for all use of flammable refrigerants, but their use in existing, unmodified systems requires special vigilance. No refrigeration systems (outside a limited number of industrial refrigeration systems), and no air conditioning applications, widely use flammable refrigerants in the US. Therefore, system owners (including car owners), service and disposal personnel, and fire fighting personnel do not expect to find flammable refrigerants in these systems. EPA must ensure that such use is safe, including the widespread dissemination of safe handling practices, before listing HC-12a or any flammable refrigerant as acceptable. Risk assessments for existing uses must reflect conditions found in the US today, rather than systems used in Europe or elsewhere in the world. For example, US refrigerators are much larger than the hydrocarbon-based systems found in Europe. A risk assessment for this end-use must address the larger system.
3. Flammability risk depends on the end-use and the
It is inappropriate to extrapolate from one end-use to another, or from one refrigerant to another. End-uses differ greatly in operating conditions. For example, automobiles are driven at high speeds and frequently collide with each other and other objects. The condenser on automobiles is immediately behind the grille, where it is highly susceptible to puncture during a front-end collision. Refrigerators, in contrast, operate in an environment that features numerous internal and external ignition sources, including door light switches, automatic defrost heaters, potentially faulty wiring, gas ranges, and cigarette lighters.
In addition, flammable refrigerants differ substantially. As explained in detail in the attachment, HFC-152a and propane are both flammable, but it takes more HFC-152a to create a flammable concentration and the energy released from burning HFC-152a is significantly less than that released from burning propane. These characteristics mean that the risks from using HFC-152a are likely to be much lower than those from using HC-12a.
Thus, the 1991 risk assessment on HFC-152a in refrigerators is not relevant to the use of HC-12a in refrigerators because of the second reason, and it is not relevant to the use of HC-12a in automobiles for both reasons.
4. Flammability risk depends on the charge size
Large cars can contain twice as much refrigerant as small cars. Similarly, large US refrigerators contain much more refrigerant than small European models. A larger refrigerant charge means that a higher concentration in air is created by a given leak, and the leak will last longer. In addition, for a given volume, like the inside of a car, it is possible that a small charge would not create a flammable mixture, but a typical or larger charge could. A risk assessment must address these differences.
5. Flammability risk depends on system specifics
Even within a specific end-use, differences in design can yield differences in risk. For example, the smaller size of European refrigerators means not only that the refrigerant charge is smaller, but also that the physical size of the system is smaller, which could have an effect on where it is placed in a kitchen. Also, US refrigerators generally have automatic defrost heaters (a potential ignition source), whereas many European models do not. In cars, certain models may provide for continuous fresh air flowing through the passenger compartment, whereas others may not. A secondary loop can greatly reduce flammability risk in a supermarket refrigeration system, even though the system still falls into the retail food refrigeration end-use. Such design differences can have large impacts on overall flammability risk. Therefore, risk assessments must reflect system specifics.
6. Efficiency is not safety
EPA is aware that hydrocarbons offer potential energy efficiency gains over the use of other refrigerants. However, EPA's primary concern is the flammability of HC-12a. Papers that only discuss the system performance characteristics of HC-12a do not address this safety issue at all.
If you have any questions about this response or EPA's determinations, please contact Jeffrey Levy, the Refrigerants Analyst for the Significant New Alternatives Policy Program. Mr. Levy may be reached at (202) 233-9727.

There are no specific requirements for this document.
This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware
Refer to the
Technical Tips Conventions for more information on document
The show call active voice command allows
you to display the contents of the active call table. The information presented
includes call times, dial peers, connections, quality of service parameters,
and gateway handling of jitter. This information can be useful when you
troubleshoot a range of voice quality problems.
The table in this document includes the output from a sample
show call active voice command and a brief
explanation of each parameter.
Note: The show call active voice command
displays data from the plain old telephone service (POTS) and VoIP call legs on
the voice gateway. Some parameters are highlighted in bold text for further
discussion in the remainder of the document.
The show call active command displays values
for both the Telephony and the VoIP legs of any active call. For each leg, the
same generic parameters are shown followed by parameters specific to the type
of call leg. In this table, these parameter sections are noted by a shaded
Use the

that are longer or shorter than a specified time.
duration—(Optional) Displays active calls
that are longer or shorter than a specified time.
echo-canceller call-id—(Optional) Displays
information about the state of the extended echo canceller (EC). In order to
query the echo state, you need to know the hex ID in advance. In order to find
the hex ID, enter the show call active voice brief
command or use the show voice call status command.
The range is from 0 to FFFFFFFF.
This section includes a discussion on the impact of voice quality of
highlighted parameters in the Parameters table.
These parameters provide information associated with a particular VoIP
leg of a call. In this particular call leg example, the call matches with dial
peer 200, the codec used is G.729 with a payload size of 20 bytes, and VAD is
VAD = enabled
This information, when combined with information about the network
configuration, such as the Layer 2 transport and the optional use of
compressed RTP allows you to determine the per call
bandwidth requirements for calls that match this dial peer. Refer to
Over IP - Per Call Bandwidth Consumption for more information.
If provisioned bandwidth is insufficient in order to support the number
of calls, then the result can be
Note: The command
can be used as one of the methods for call admission
control, but this command does not work for outgoing calls from ISDN interfaces
to H323 networks.
If the characteristics of the call leg do not seem correct, review your
dial peer configuration and matching. Refer to some of the dial peer related
documents listed at the
Routing / Dial Plans Technical Support page for more
voice, of which choppy and synthetic voice are good examples, can occur
under a number of circumstances usually associated with incorrectly provisioned
WAN links. These potentially result from lack of appropriate connection
admission control (CAC), or incorrectly configured voice prioritization. The
show call active voice command provides visibility
into these issues with these parameters:
GapFillWithSilence=0 ms
GapFillWithPrediction=0 ms
HiWaterPlayoutDelay=70 ms
LoWaterPlayoutDelay=69 ms
ReceiveDelay=69 ms
LostPackets=0 ms
EarlyPackets=1 ms
LatePackets=0 ms
The OnTimeRvPlayout command provides a good
general view of the health of the call when it is compared to the Total Voice
Playout Duration. The Total Voice Playout Duration can be derived with the
addition of the gap fill durations to the OnTimeRvPlayout duration. If the
proportion of on time voice playout time is high then the call is likely to be
Packets dropped or delayed too long in the packet network can cause
voice quality issues.
On receipt of packets that are delayed for so long that they cannot be
used, or when packets are dropped in the network and not received at all, an IP
phone or voice gateway attempts to reconstruct the voice stream as best it can
by the prediction of the voice signal.
Repeatedly issue the show call active voice
command on an IOS gateway in order to provide visibility into this issue:
LatePackets—The number of packets that arrive
outside the de-jitter buffer playback delay period. These packets are
LostPackets—The number of packets that never arrive
at the receiving IP phone or gateway.
GapFillWithPrediction—The amount of packet
prediction in a call. Divide this number by the packet sample time in order to
determine the number of packets affected.
GapFillWithSilence—The amount of silence insertion
in the call.
Note: The show port voice active command on a
Catalyst gateway gives you an indication of jitter for a call (Hi/Low
water playout delay) though it does not differentiate between
predictive and silence insertion.
A small amount of predictive insertion is undetectable to the human
ear. However, a large amount probably causes a garbled quality in the voice
that can be described as synthetic or robotic voice.
If packets are dropped or arrive late, then it is not possible for
the receiving codec decoder to predict the voice signal. In this case, the
signal is replaced with silence inserted into speech.
In addition, if delay is variable (jitter), packets that arrive late
but within the playout delay period of the receiving de-jitter buffer, are
played out but can cause an underrun of the de-jitter buffer. An underrun
occurs when there are no packets left held in the buffer and the speech is
delayed when the buffer waits for the next packet to arrive. Audible gap in
speech can result.
A small amount of silence insertion or jitter is undetectable to the
human ear. However, a large amount probably causes a quality in the voice that
can be described as choppy voice or broken voice.
Note: If the network delay is variable enough, it is likely that the
resulting sound of the speech is both synthetic and choppy.
Resolve Garbled Voice Problems
Determine the cause of the delay and (if possible) eliminate it.
Causes of drops or delays in a packet Telephony network can be many and
varied. Some common examples include:
Low Latency Queuing
Misconfigured fragmentation for low speed
Misconfigured traffic shaping and/or
frame relay CIR
(registered customers only)
Links with over-committed
in the path of the call. For example, poor CAC for voice calls. An example is a
G.711 call with no cRTP or VAD across a 64 Kbps link.
Duplex mismatches in an Ethernet environment
CPU intensive operations on a router in the path of the call. For
example, debugs to a console or saving the router configuration can cause high
CPU utilization that delays packets that traverse it.
It is also possible to tune the gateway de-jitter buffers for better
voice performance in sub-optimal data networks. However, the results are
limited to the degree to which the data network behaves correctly. For more
information, refer to
QoS Choppy Voice Issues or a number of the documents listed at the
Quality Technical Support page.
These parameters identify whether VAD is used for this call and what
dial peer is used:
VAD = enabled
Resolve Hissing and Clipping Problems
In order to resolve
and some front-end
issues, adjust music-threshold or vad-time values (or disable VAD) before you
troubleshoot other possible problems.
Test by disabling
(registered customers only)
disabling VAD entirely. If the symptom stops, then comfort noise generation is
the likely cause of the problem. Reduction of the
(registered customers only)
at which
voice is detected or increase in the
(registered customers only)
values on the
gateway can make the hissing or clipping less noticeable without the need to
disable VAD permanently. These techniques essentially disable VAD at low volume
levels and/or during small gaps, respectively. It is not practical to just
disable comfort noise since that action causes other voice quality symptoms
such as clicking and/or gaps of absolute silence between sentences.
Refer to
Hissing and Static for more information. If these tuning techniques do
not solve the problem, then disable VAD. This results in a loss of bandwidth
Resolve Hissing and Clipping Problems in One
VAD is the cause of most hissing problems. Therefore, it is important
to identify whether it is enabled. One of the first steps to troubleshoot
hissing or front-end clipping of sentences is to disable VAD. It is therefore
important to be able to identify whether it is disabled.
If hissing or clipping only occurs in one direction, the outbound
direction, then it can be due to VAD being enabled in this direction even
though you have tried to disable it in the VoIP dial peer. In this case, the
show call active voice command shows VAD enabled and
the PeerID in use being 0. In order to overcome this issue, configure the
incoming called-number
(registered customers only)
command on the VoIP dial peer to
ensure that calls to the PSTN match this peer at the gateway. Otherwise, calls
in this direction match with the default dial peer that has VAD enabled by
These parameters are important to troubleshoot echo:
The test tone output is -15 and is looped back with 0 dB loss.
Therefore, it comes back at -15 dB. The ERL value here has no significance at
this point since the echo canceller does not consider the input signal to be
Note: The OutSignalLevel shows the value of the level after the output
attenuation is applied to the signal. The InSignalLevel shows the value of the
level after the input gain is applied.
If the ERL value is too low, the echo signal that returns to the
gateway might be too loud (within 6 db of the talker signal). This causes the
echo canceller to consider it as voice (double-talk) instead of echo.
Therefore, the echo canceller does not cancel the echo. ERL should be between 6
db and 20 db in order for the echo canceller to
Refer to
Echo Problems between IP Phones and Cisco IOS Gateways and
Echo in IP Telephony Networks (Audio on Demand) for information on
troubleshooting echo problems.
This section explains how to use the show call active
voice command in order to identify jitter and typical voice
quality symptoms.
A general idea of jitter in the network can be determined by repeatedly
issuing the show call active voice command while a
call is in progress. Ideally, these parameters should stay relatively steady.
If they do, that is an indication of smooth packet flow. However, if jitter is
present, there are sharp, short term spikes such as those shown in these two
sample outputs:
GapFillWithSilence=950 ms
GapFillWithPrediction=1980 ms
GapFillWithInterpolation=0 ms
GapFillWithRedundancy=0 ms
HiWaterPlayoutDelay=350 ms
LoWaterPlayoutDelay=25 ms
ReceiveDelay=29 ms
GapFillWithSilence=950 ms
GapFillWithPrediction=1980 ms
GapFillWithInterpolation=0 ms
GapFillWithRedundancy=0 ms
HiWaterPlayoutDelay=350 ms
LoWaterPlayoutDelay=25 ms
ReceiveDelay=29 ms
GapFillWithSilence=1040 ms
GapFillWithPrediction=2350 ms
GapFillWithInterpolation=0 ms
GapFillWithRedundancy=0 ms
HiWaterPlayoutDelay=40 ms
LoWaterPlayoutDelay=28 ms
ReceiveDelay=35 ms
GapFillWithSilence=1040 ms
GapFillWithPrediction=2350 ms
GapFillWithInterpolation=0 ms
GapFillWithRedundancy=0 ms
HiWaterPlayoutDelay=40 ms
LoWaterPlayoutDelay=28 ms
ReceiveDelay=35 ms
The incrementing number of late packets in these sample outputs reveal
a degree of jitter. The silence insertion indicated by an increase in the
GapFillWithSilence value manifests itself as
choppy voice. The predictive insertion, indicated by an increase in the
GapFillWithPrediction value, tends to manifest
itself as synthetic voice.
In order to alter the amount of voice signal that is buffered to avoid
jitter buffer under-runs or over-runs, issue the
playout-delay command.
The two modes of configuration for playout delay are adaptive and
Adaptive allows the jitter buffer to grow and shrink for the
duration of the call within a configured range when you issue the
playout-delay {nominal value | maximum
value | minimum {default | low | high}}
Fixed is set at the beginning of a call when you issue the
playout-delay mode {adaptive | fixed
[no-timestamps]} command.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
Advising is a process by which faculty and designated persons assist students in successfully navigating the course options and requirements that lead to the attainment of their academic and career goals.
Faculty responsibility: A major part of the teaching responsibility is in the advising of students the faculty has in class or those assigned as advisees. For that purpose, each faculty member should be available at specific times. Early in the semester, faculty members should post near their offices and send to the Dean of the College a schedule of those hours during which they are available for consultation with students. The hours listed should be in sufficient number and varied during the days so that any student has an opportunity for consultation.
18.104.22.168 Undergraduate Students:
126.96.36.199 Graduate Students:
An advisor in the student's area of specialization will be assigned by the program coordinator of that area during the process of a student's admission to a graduate degree program. It is the advisor's responsibility to help the student formulate a plan of study leading toward the accomplishment of the student's objectives. Most of the information that follows is geared toward undergraduate student advising. Faculty should consult the Graduate Catalog for specific information regarding graduate program policies and regulations.
The following factors are worthy of consideration in advising the student on educational goals:
8.7.3 Advisor/Advisee Agreement
At the initial meeting of an advisor and and advisee, the advisor should make the advisee aware of an advisor's responsibilities and those of the advisee as stated in 126.96.36.199 & 22.214.171.124 (below)
184.108.40.206 Responsibilities of Advisors in the Advising Process
The advisor's responsibility is to:
22.214.171.124 Responsibilities of Students in the Advising Process
The student's responsibility is to:
The undergraduate catalog lists General Education and diversity requirements for all undergraduates as well as requirements for each major and minor. The graduate catalog lists all requirements, regulations and procedures for graduate programs.
18.104.22.168 Undergraduate Student Load:
A student should average 15 credits of work for 8 semesters for a total of 120 credits. A maximum load of 18 credits per semester or 12 credits a summer session is permitted for sophomore, junior, and senior students. The maximum load for freshmen students is 17 credits per semester. Full-time students are designated as being enrolled for 12 or more credits. Students in the Honors Program may carry one honors course per semester in addition to the regular course load. (For additional information regarding the Honors Program, see previous section, 8.4, in this chapter.)
220.127.116.11 Excess Load:
Students may apply to the Dean of their College at registration time for an excess load. Application forms for excess load are available in the Office of the Registrar. Only students whose average is "B" or better should be recommended for excess load except under special conditions. Similar procedures are in effect during the summer session.
220.127.116.11 Grades:
Online grade records should be used as a basis for further counseling and planning with the student.
184.108.40.206 Long-range Planning:
Some departments require that a plan of studies be worked out in the sophomore year for the junior and senior years. It is useful for students to plan ahead so far as possible, particularly in the spring for the ensuing year. All departments have worked out a four-year model for use in planning a student's course work toward the degree.
Students are required to take one course designated as Global Perspectives (G) and one course designated as American Cultural Diversity (D). This requirement may be satisfied as part of their General Education program, their major or minor programs of study, or their elective credits. To the degree possible, courses designated D or G should also address issues of gender and class. Courses must be taken at the 200 level or above and must be at least three credits.
126.96.36.199 American Cultural Diversity (D)
Courses designated D will examine changing social identities and divergent beliefs of one or more racial or ethnic group of American culture as defined by the UW-System to include the following groups: African American, Hispanic/Latino(a), Asian-American, and American Indian.
a. Students will examine the ways in which issues of race and/or ethnicity shape social identities and influence behaviors within diverse segments of American society.
b. Students will analyze social and historical factors that may influence their interaction with members of a diverse society.
188.8.131.52 Global Perspectives (G)
Courses designated G will require students to examine subject matter from a global/international perspective. Outcomes:
a. Students will describe and analyze global or international issues.
b. Students will compare and contrast various aspects of an international culture to their own.
220.127.116.11 ACT Profile Sheets
The UW System requires that all incoming freshmen take the ACT to assist faculty in advising. The Admissions Office will provide these profiles to the advisors beginning with the initial registration during summer orientation. The profiles will then be forwarded to the student's permanent advisor.
22.214.171.124 Placement Tests
All freshmen are required to take the Wisconsin English Placement Test and the Wisconsin Math Placement test before registering for their first term of enrollment. The profile sheets reporting the results of these tests will be provided by the Admissions Office to advisors during the registration prior to the student's first term of enrollment. The profile sheets will then be forwarded to the student's permanent advisor. Students who have studied a foreign language (French, Spanish or German) in high school are advised to take the Wisconsin Modern Language Placement test; this test is given at Regional Testing in the spring, each morning of Freshman summer registration, or by special arrangement with the Modern Language Department.
22.214.171.124 Individual Testing
When additional information is needed concerning a student, arrangements for testing and assessment may be made through Career Services and the Academic Success Center. A minimal fee may be charged.
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, students are entitled to review those records, files, documents and other materials which are maintained by the University and which contain information directly related to them. Exceptions are: personal notes of UWRF staff and faculty, employment records, medical and counseling records used solely for treatment, records in the Department of Public Safety, parents' financial records, confidential letters and statements placed in the records prior to January 1, 1975, and confidential letters and statements of recommendation for admission, employment or honorary recognition, placed in the records after January 1, 1975, but for which the student has waived the right of inspection and review. Students must submit written requests to review their records, and the University has 45 days to comply with such requests.
Students have the right to challenge information in their educational records which they believe to be inaccurate, misleading, or inappropriate, and to insert in the record a statement explaining any such material from their point of view. A formal challenge to administrator of the appropriate office.
The Vice Chancellor for Administration and Finance has been designated by the Chancellor as the custodian of all public records maintained at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
"Directory Information" includes name, address, telephone listing, date of birth, major field of study, participation in officially recognized activities including sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance (including classification and year, matriculation and withdrawal dates), degrees and awards received and the most recent previous educational agency or institution attended. This information will be routinely released to any inquirer unless the student requests, in writing to the Registrar, that all or part of it be withheld.
There is an electronic phone book linked to the UWRF Home Page (http://www.uwrf.edu). Information listed on each individual includes: name, email address, alias, classification, major(s), minor(s), hometown, local address, and local telephone number. As is the case with other directory information, this information will not be posted if the student so requests, in writing, to the Registrar.
184.108.40.206 Introduction
Advising starts when a student expresses an interest in UWRF and continues until the student completes his or her education at UWRF or leaves. Each department is responsible for an advising program that uses the services of UWRF for the specific needs of the student--the choice of classes for majors and minors, remedial concerns, development of special talents, enrichment through extra-curricular involvement, and career planning. Each chair should assign faculty to contact students interested in the department.
The following outline provides information about advising whereby the department maintains consistent contact with new students, continuing students, and interested students.
126.96.36.199 Prospective Students
The names of prospective students are sent to departments on a continuing basis. These names come from interest cards completed by prospective students when admissions counselors visit schools or when they attend college fairs and career days as well as from mail inquiries to the Admissions Office. These names also come from students who have taken the ACT or SAT and had their score reports sent to UWRF. Throughout the year, letters from the department heads are sent to these interested students, stressing the advantages the department has for the student. These letters may be standard, but an extra handwritten comment is suggested.
Computer printouts of accepted students are sent to the Deans, on a monthly basis, from the Admissions Office. This information is sorted by major, address of student, and other data.
126.96.36.199 Freshmen and Transfer Students
June-July Orientation/Registration: New students register during a number of days dedicated to this process. At that time new students will meet with department representatives who will advise them on course work and requirements. Testing and initial orientation also take place on these advising days. The Admissions Office provides students with detailed advance information on services available at this time. August-September Orientation/Registration: New students may also register on a specified day just prior to the opening of the academic year.
188.8.131.52 Continuing Students
In the month of October, students and their academic advisors will receive information regarding advising periods and registration times for the next spring semester. In the month of March, students and their academic advisors will receive information regarding advising periods and registration times for the next fall semester. Students and their advisors will meet prior to the student's registration appointment in order to work out the student's schedule for the following semester and to do whatever long-range planning is appropriate (see previous sections on advising).
The Registrar's Office will not reissue lost PIN numbers without written authorization from the advisor. Acceptable written authorization includes a hand-written or wordprocessed note, not an email correspondence. The note may be carried by the student to the Registrar's Office.

They will also post pictures of the offending vehicles if you send them.
The site is http://www.youparklikeanasshole.com/ (don't give me grief over the name) and they get lots of visitors and lots of hate mail.
I can relate to this as I have gone back to my car in a parking lot to go to work and could barely get in my car. I got dirt all over my white shirt trying to slide in. I was furious...and dirty.
Many years ago when we were in our early 20s, before the common use of car alarms, we went downtown for dinner with two other couples. We were in two cars. They were old beat up cars.
Low and behold there was a fancy, schmantzy car parked across two spots which left one of us without a spot to park.
The 3 guys got out and literally picked up the car and bounced it over into a single spot and then we parked the grungiest of the two cars next to it and went into the upscale restaurant for dinner.
It must have been quite the shock for the jerk who took up two spots because he is more important than the rest of us, to come back to his car and see it has been moved.
Oh the good old days.

I have to go to this website. I feel like this always happens when I need a space. And if you can squeeze into the space, the next car that comes along thinks that you are the idiot parking too close to the line.
Glad I got that rant out!

How about when you are sitting waiting for a spot with your signal on, and some jerk comes along and pulls in! Happened yesterday! grrrrr!

Your story reminded me of when I was going to BCIT in the 70's. Parking was at a premium, and you would get people parking down the middle of the rows. I watched a few young guys bounce a car like that to move it so that someone that was in a legitimate spot could get out. Gotta check out the website!

They have prep-printed pads of these tickets at Pier 1. I got some last year, and they are FUN! Love the story of moving the car, too bad you didn't have a hidden camera to get the jerk's reaction :) Kat

We did that once also...when we were young...parallel parking and no room at either end...we moved a volkswagon...bounce and push at the same time...fun times...

I will have to check that site out. Handsome Hubby came home last week and said someone who took up 2 spaces left a note on HH's car, complaining that when he parked properly, it blocked Mr. Two Space's driver door. Idiots.

Its not illegal to block access from the road into a private driveway, seriously, so a notice requesting common sense and good manners wouldn't make the slightest impression. Unless you perhaps superglue'd it to the offenders windowshield. Right where they have to see out........

That is awesome! I think we should all carry paintball guns and be allowed to shoot at stupid drivers--going too slow in the fast lane, cutting you off, just being a jerk or moron in general.

Oh you stirred up my blood, Lucy! I leave little notes for people all the time. And while they may toss them away and wonder why someone thinks they did something wrong, it makes me fell better and it certainly helps bring down my blood pressure. I hate it when people park in multiple spaces, illegally take over the handicapped spots, and use the walk-up-pharmacy-only spaces simply because they are close to the store. I like Ali's comment-and I think I'll be putting a little tube of super glue into my car today! ha
Hugs, Ethel

How to Avoid Plagiarism
Guidelines for Avoiding Quotation Errors II
Guideline II also addresses the use of quotation marks.
Is the following statement true or false?
If you place quotation marks around some of a source's words that you reproduce, you don't have to place them around all of its words.
The statement is false.
Place quotation marks around all words copied verbatim from a source—even a few words. And again, provide a citation.
Guideline II: Place quotation marks around even part of a sentence that you reproduce.
Here is an example of properly used quotation marks:
Robert Harbison points to the "dream stories" (1970, p. 25) of Sherlock Holmes, who is less an "adventurer" than "a scientist of gossip" (p. 26). Harbison believes these mysteries reassure us "that conventional lives are not boring" (p. 26).
Though it may seem picky to expect you to quote even individual words, both writers and teachers consider adept phrasing to be a valuable commodity.
To the writer, intelligent phrasing is the basis of a livelihood. To the teacher, it shows the student is thinking. Thus, to pass off even a few words of another person as your own can be considered trying to gain an unfair advantage.
When you paraphrase, carefully examine all the words in the passage to make sure you do not inadvertently borrow the author's wording, even in part.
Guideline IV provides tips for correct paraphrasing.

text: Food Animal Production, Transportation, and Marketing (Fiscal Year 2004) Cooperative Agreements FY 2004 State Contacts Agreement Description Florida Dr. Thomas J. Holt (850) 410-0909 Will implement a comprehensive Beef Quality Assurance program in the state's cattle herds. The program will identify best management practices for cattle producers and conduct educational programs to encourage their adoption by producers throughout the state. A basic element in the program will be the use of electronic identification to track cattle and to evaluate recordkeeping systems and production practices. The Seminole Tribe of Florida will cooperate in using its 12,000 head herd as a "model" herd for the program. Indiana Dr. Jennifer Strasser (317) 227-0256 Will continue its pre-existing program, implementing an "Inspection-Based Quality Assurance and Certification Program for Market Cattle and Swine." This program seeks to promote humane handling of livestock, reduce antibiotic residue violations, reduce violations of the FDA ruminant feeding rule, and decrease numbers of diseased, dying, and disabled animals presented for slaughter. Problems observed at processing will be traced back to the farm premises, and solutions identified through production practices. Maryland Dr. James Fearer (301) 334-2185 Will collaborate with the agricultural extension service, the animal health field force, practicing veterinarians, and dairy producer organizations to deliver information on residue avoidance in dairy herds and on compliance with the FDA ruminant feeding rule assuring that Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE) has no mechanism of spread in the state's dairy herd, should it be introduced. A model farm will be identified to demonstrate use of production practices which support these goals. Missouri Ms. Rose Foster (573) 522-3377 (573) 690-2153 (C) Will develop and implement a HACCP-compatible quality assurance program termed "Family Farm Products—Safe from Farm to Fork" for the state's small egg and poultry meat producers. In cooperation with local agencies and a minority university, education and training in on-farm food safety will be provided at several locations in the state, including agricultural fairs and exhibitions. The program Director will receive formal training in food safety policy development and risk assessment. New Jersey Dr. Anne Pierok (609) 292-3965 Will continue its successful program in Dairy Quality Assurance, and will add beef producers to the program. The New Jersey program is modeled after the highly-regarded New York State Cattle Health Assurance program, and includes producer training in best management practices and formal farm audits by program professionals. The state Department of Agriculture will act as the third-party verifier of HACCP-compatible production practice adoption on dairy and beef farms. Ohio Ms. Robin Burton (614) 728-6220 Will continue the implementation of the Egg Quality Assurance Program designed to reduce the incidence of foodborne outbreaks of Salmonella Enteritidis traced to table eggs. The program will verify the safety of the state's table eggs by proper documentation of quality assurance standards and production practices. Farm biosecurity and quality assurance compliance will be verified by farm audits. South Dakota Dr. Sam Holland (605) 773-3321 Will continue its Beef Quality Assurance/Critical Management Point program to provide education in food safety to beef producers, and to certify compliance with program standards. Will cooperate with state university to develop CD-ROM and web-based training in HACCP-compatible beef production practices, and will certify status of producers who use program practices. Will continue efforts to provide a national model for food safety certification of beef cattle. Vermont Ms. Mary Morrison (802) 828-3567 Will continue the state's dairy and beef Quality Assurance Program, using existing materials to conduct food safety workshops for producers, make information available on a Web site, and through tabletop presentations at industry meetings and conferences. Will develop a guide which directs producers to the various sources of food safety information and education in the state. This guide will include direction and information for egg and poultry meat producers, in addition to the cattle program content. West Virginia Dr. Joe Starcher (304) 558-2214 Will continue implementation of its Dairy Quality Assurance Program (DQAP) which seeks to educate dairy producers about HACCP-compatible production practices, and to encourage their adoption. Will involve self assessment of safe production practice use by producers, and verification by veterinarians of program compliance. Will utilize state university dairy herd as model for demonstration of production practices which support food safety in milk and dairy beef. Additional funding will be sought to add a module to the DQAP to reduce or eliminate Johne's Disease in dairy herds. Food Animal Production, Transportation, and Marketing FY 2004

BIG Unveils Energy Valley With Floating Solar Sphere for Stockholm
Inhabitat has reported on some pretty mind-boggling designs by the Bjark Ingels Group, but their latest winning proposal just may take the cake. BIG's Energy Valley was recently chosen as the master plan for Stockholmsporten, a new entrance and major highway junction planned for Stockholm. The group worked with Grontmij and Seascape to create a sculpted bowl-shaped valley that connects the surrounding neighborhoods while improving the largest infrastructure project in Sweden. We're loving the smart, pedestrian-friendly design for the junction, but plans for a giant reflective sphere to hover above the valley have us scratching our heads.
Designs were solicited to create a new "entrance portal" into Stockholm at an intersection about 15 km north of the city where two major European highways, E18 and E4, converge. An update to the intersection, which is known as the Hjulsta, has been discussed for decades, as the major roadway is a hot spot for accidents. Plus, it creates a barrier between the residential neighborhoods on one side and a recreation area, Järvafältet, on the other. Previous plans to upgrade the junction would have divided the surrounding neighborhoods into four areas and created more barriers between them.
BIG's plan reconnects the areas while allowing for improved roads. The excess dirt that is excavated to create new tunnels and infrastructure will be used to create a gently sloping valley that will surround the highways. The circular peak will be topped with pedestrian and bicycle paths for easy transport between neighborhoods. Natural vegetation, wetlands, and pine and oak trees will be planted as landscaping inside the valley to reduce noise and air pollution from the highways, while also making the promenade an enjoyable place. The pedestrian loop and valley ridge will align with public spaces within the surrounding towns, including a shopping center, a sports complex, and a mosque. Towns also have room to expand up to the edge of the ridge.

Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
All creation is the doings of God's hands, no matter how he did it. When I look at a painting, I can connect somehow with the painter, and the same goes with the universe and God.
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
When read in this way, the Genesis stories may be seen as one of the greatest-ever revolutions in human understanding. Genesis used the literary forms of the day to introduce its readers to a rational God who cares for people – and whose faithfulness made science possible. Genesis is expressly about theology, not science.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."

My husband has been hounding me for chicken cordon bleu for a while. However, it's a little tough to make with a toddler and a newborn, so I was happy to find this recipe. I used 4 large boneless breasts that I butterflied and stuffed each with a slice of ham and Swiss cheese. I used a box of Stove Top stuffing mix, but only added 2 tablespoons of butter. It was a hit and my DH said he would be happy to have this every couple of weeks. We will definitely be eating this again.
Good, not great. The chicken got so tender it fell apart, which I was not expecting, so that made it different than I had anticipated. It was pretty salty with the ham, cream of chicken, cheese, butter, and seasoning from the stuffing. I think next time I will omit the butter and instead pour the remaining soup over the stuffing. But, I plan to make this again, it's great cold-weather food.

True-this is not a true cordon bleu. But its a good recipe with the same idea of cordon bleu. And its a good crockpot recipe-which I am always trying to find a good crock pot recipe. If you want, you can butterfly the chicken boneless chicken breast and stuff it with the ham & cheese. Or you can pound the breast flat and roll the ham & cheese in the chicken and lay it in the crockpot with the seal side down so that it doesnt come undone (use a toothpick if you are nervous about it-just besure to remove it before serving). And cook it that way. This isnt a bad recipe, but I needed to add garlic and leeks to the pot. I live for spices. I will make it again and most likely butterfly the breasts and stuff them. But next time, I may add some white wine to the mix.
I made this last night for company and it was a huge hit. Our friends wouldn't leave until we gave them a copy of this recipe. The one thing I did different was to butterfly the chicken and roll up the ham & cheese and stuff it inside. This worked perfectly to keep the cheese in. I will definately be making this again!!
This recipe was a hit, I snuck this in on a weeknight for the fiance that "hates chicken cordon bleu". She definitely does not hate it after this, and even asked me to make it again. I did try it withe one BIG change. Instead of adding the box of stuffing, I added a box of those cheap scalloped potatoes to the top and about half of the seasoning packet from the boxed potatoes. It turned out phenomenal!
Based on the previous reviews I waited until the last 1-2 hours before I put the cheese and stuffing in, and it turned out great! If you use larger chicken breats, it's a little hard to serve out of the crock-pot, so next time I may just cube the chicken and ham.
This slow cooker recipe needs some flavor enhancement, but it was a hit with my company. When I make it again I will had some thyme and perhaps some garlic, and I will use a crock pot liner, as the bread crumbs stuck to the crock pot securely around the edges! Definitely will cook it again.
This was an amazing idea for what turned out to be a wonderful meal. I used ham chunks, halved the chicken breasts, added a can of chicken broth and half a minced onion...simmered all day. Thickened with a cornstach slurry. Layered in the swis cheese. Coated the stuffing with butter and topped the casserole...let it cook for another hour. So so so so yummy!

'Justice League: Doom' Animated Film Honors Dwayne McDuffie's Legacy [Review]
For me, DC's direct-to-video animated movies have been pretty hit or miss. As much as I've liked parts of stuff like Crisis on Two Earths and All Star Superman, it's often felt like they've had a little difficulty translating great stories to the screen. As a result, I wasn't really sure what to expect out of the latest offering.
Justice League: Doom isn't exactly what I was expect

|Strainer, Slicer, Juicer, & Herb Keeper
A Quartet of Gadgets
We are always on the lookout for kitchen items that are easy to use and serve a purpose. KosherEye has been using the following four "kitchen helpers" for several months, and each one has proven to be useful and has earned a "home" in our kitchens.
From Rösle, manufactures of kitchen utensils for more than a hundred years (actually, since 1888), we are delighted with the following two products.
Rösle Collapsible Colander: A colander is a colander—correct? Not always. The average sized colander takes up space and, with the kosher kitchen requiring two or more of each item, that can be a lot of cabinet space for some of us. The design of the Rösle colander is a winner in both design and construction. Made of stainless steel with silicone side walls, it is ideal for straining pasta or vegetables. Three burls in the base provide a steady rest position. And the best part; this collapsible colander folds for easy storage.
It comes in a variety of colors, 8 or 10-inch sizes and is dishwasher safe. Awarded the ""Kitchen Innovation of the Year 2009" in the category of functionality, innovation, product benefits and design, this product also has our vote.
Rösle Tomato and Mozzarella Slicer:
Made of stainless steel, with 10 sharp serrated blades, the slicer quickly and neatly produced evenly sliced tomatoes. The synthetic material POM base, used to hold the tomato for slicing, also safeguards the blades (and fingers) during storage. A word of caution: the blades are sharp. This product is dishwasher safe and has a Lifetime warranty.
We did not try slicing Mozzarella cheese and cannot offer an evaluation of that feature. We do know that we love it for slicing tomatoes and, with our anticipated bounty of homegrown tomatoes, expect a lot of usage over the summer!
Cuisipro, a division of Browne & Company, has more than 250 products and offers a 25–year warranty. That does say something about quality. We especially love two of their products.
Cuisipro Citrus Juicer:
We were able to juice a bag of lemons in no time!
Cuisipro Herb Keeper:
Cuisipro Herb Keeper's unique suspended tray system makes it easy to store and access herbs. The Herb Keeper is perfect when you wish to enjoy flavourful meals with the addition of fresh herbs.
It is available in two sizes and fits most refrigerator doors. It is easy to use; put water in the base and place the herbs in the suspended tray. When ready to use the herbs, just pull up the tray and remove what you need. The stems of the herbs are immersed in water for freshness and hydration. An added plus is that is also keeps asparagus fresh.
It really works, and with our summer herb bounty, we hope that we will need more than one!

Learn how to build your own chicken coop for your backyard. Here's beginner's guide to building a poultry palace!
(This is the third post in our Raising Chickens 101 series.)
Building a Chicken Coop
The housing for your chickens can be as simple or fancy as your imagination and budget permit. The basic criteria will be dictated by the birds.
First, decide on the size. You will need 2 square feet of floor space per chicken, and one nest box for every three hens. Nest boxes should be about a foot square. For instructions, you might want to check out this page. For larger breeds such as Jersey Giants, allow an additional square foot of floor space per bird.
Sketch the coop on paper, with measurements. (Don't know where to start? Check the plans for any size of flock here.)
It might also be helpful to mark the ground where the coop will be erected, taking into consideration its location relative to the sun (southern exposure ensures greater warmth and sunlight); any nearby structures (will you attach it to a garage or barn?); and the need for a run, fenced or not (more on that in a moment). Build your coop and run on high ground to avoid battling water and mud problems!
Do not forget to include a door and a floor in the plans. A door can be as simple as a piece of plywood on a frame of 1-by-2s, with hinges and a simple latch—make it large enough for you to enter and exit easily with eggs in hand or a basket. A dirt floor is perfectly adequate. However, if you build a wooden floor, plan to raise it 6 inches off the ground. A third option is poured concrete, if your time and budget allow. Also consider whether you will bring electricity into the coop: A low-watt bulb will prolong the day during winter months and keep egg production figures constant.
Coop ventilation is more important than insulation. Plan to have openings near the ceiling for air circulation. (While chickens enjoy moderate—around 55°F—temperatures, ours survived nicely in the barn through –40°F winters. Their feathers kept them warm.) Also plan to install a couple of 1½-inch dowels across the upper part of the coop; this will enable the chickens to roost off the floor at night.
When you're ready, bring your plans to the lumber yard. Someone there can help you to determine how much stock and what tools and/or equipment you will need. Plan to frame the coop with 2-by-4s and use sheets of plywood for the walls. The roof can be a sheet of plywood covered with roof shingles or simply a piece of sheet metal.
A 5x20-foot run will keep a small flock—six to eight hens—happy. More space is better if you have the room. If predators are a problem in your area, bury a layer of chicken wire 6 inches deep under the coop and run to foil diggers like foxes, dogs, and skunks. Mink and weasels can slip through standard 2-inch wire. To keep them out, use a couple of 2-inch layers offset or 1-inch wire instead. Plug any holes in the coop walls as well.
- You'll need to accessorize the coop, at least rudimentarily: Waterers, available from farm suppliers, keep the chickens from fouling their water supply. Get one for every three or four chickens. Also get a feed trough long enough to let all of the chickens feed at once (or get two smaller ones). Have enough wood shavings (pine) or straw to put a 6-inch layer on the floor and a couple of handfuls in each nest box and your chickens will have a perfect home. Change the bedding about once a month or if it starts looking flat.
Remember, a chicken coop doesn't need to be complicated. Our first one was a small shed built with recycled wood. The run was screened in chicken wire and built onto the side of our house. It wasn't pretty, but it did the job. Just keep in mind the two simple rules "Measure twice, cut once" and "Pointy end down," and both you and your hens will be happy.
Next, we'll address chicken care and bringing up those baby chicks!
Elizabeth Creith has fifteen years of experience keeping chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys on her farm in Northern Ontario. She currently dreams of a new flock of fancy chickens. Elizabeth and her husband also have six and a half years experience running a pet store. On top of that, she's kept more animals than you can imagine from cats to cockatoos!
