Eco-Friendly Kitchen: Dishwasher or Hand Washing?

Dishwashers are the way to go if you comply with two simple criteria: "Run a dishwasher only when it’s full, and don’t rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher," says John Morril, of the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, who also advises against using the dry cycle. The water used in most dishwashers is hot enough, he says, to evaporate quickly if the door is left open after the wash and rinse cycles are complete.

DISHWASHERS MORE EFFICIENT THAN HAND WASHING

Scientists at the University of Bonn in Germany who studied the issue found that the dishwasher uses only half the energy, one-sixth of the water, and less soap than hand-washing an identical set of dirty dishes. Even the most sparing and careful washers could not beat the modern dishwasher. The study also found that dishwashers excelled in cleanliness over hand washing.

Most dishwashers manufactured since 1994 use seven to 10 gallons of water per cycle, while older machines use eight to 15 gallons. Newer designs have also improved dishwasher efficiency immensely. Hot water can now be heated in the dishwasher itself, not in the household hot water heater, where heat gets lost in transit. Dishwashers also heat only as much water as needed. A standard 24-inch-wide household dishwasher is designed to hold eight place settings, but some newer models will wash the same amount of dishes inside an 18-inch frame, using less water in the process.

If you have an older, less-efficient machine, the Council recommends hand washing for the smaller jobs and saving the dishwasher for the dinner party’s aftermath.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT DISHWASHERS SAVE MONEY

Luntz Shocked As Alabamians Back Roy Moore in Vice News Focus Group

MONTGOMERY, Alabama — Frank Luntz, a GOP establishment messaging consultant, was visibly flabbergasted as every single one of his focus group participants in a Birmingham area Vice News-produced panel backed Judge Roy Moore for U.S. Senate.

Titled “Why These Alabama Voters Are Sticking By Roy Moore,” Luntz’s Vice News focus group aired on Vice News Tonight on Dec. 8 on HBO.

“Are you all Christians here?” Luntz opens the seven-and-a-half-minute long segment. “Yes,” all of the focus group participants, who joined Luntz in a Birmingham area restaurant, replied.

“Is Roy Moore a good Christian?” he followed up.

“Yes,” one woman replied. “Absolutely,” another said.

“Absolutely?” Luntz followed up in disbelief. “Yes,” the woman shot back. “Without any doubt whatsoever?” Luntz asked again.

After some more back and forth, a man in the focus group spoke up. 

Scottie Porter, a real estate developer, said:

Two Girls Fighting, Teacher Assaulted At Delmar High School This Morning


City of Salisbury To Front $100,000.00 For After School Program


Mitchell's youth programs will find a new home - with Salisbury's help

Joe Albero I disagree Bill Baker. Hal Chernoff, (Main Street Gym) has EARNED such a gift but has been ignored by the City and County for decades.

Joe Albero What's racist is your attack on me. It became perfectly clear when you said, "we know you don’t like our people". Own it.
Joe Albero All I was saying is that the City never did anything for Hal, (Main Street Gym). I'm not at all knocking what this group does. I'll add, Hal does a lot for "our people" and deserved the same opportunity. As for the above negative and even racist comment, it's taxpayer money. At least Hal reaches out to the community like Pohanka and doesn't depend on our tax dollars.

WCSO Press Release 12-5-17 PNC Bank Robbery

Incident: Bank Robbery

Date of Incident: 12/05/17

Location: PNC Bank, 1512 S. Salisbury Blvd, Salisbury, MD

Suspect: Robert Lee Hornsby Jr. 38 years old, Salisbury, MD

Narrative: On December 5, 2017 at approximately 1040HRS, the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office responded to the PNC Bank
located at 1512 S. Salisbury BLVD, Salisbury, Maryland in reference to a robbery that had just occurred.

The investigation revealed that a white male, later identified as Robert Lee Hornsby Jr, had entered the bank and handed a bank teller a note demanding money and indicating he had a firearm. Hornsby fled the area in a black Chrysler 200 vehicle. The Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office notified allied police
agencies of the vehicle and suspect description. During a canvass of the area, Salisbury Police Department detectives located Hornsby and his vehicle in the area of RT 13 and Vine Street. SPD detectives attempted to make contact with Hornsby. Hornsby fled in his vehicle. Units from the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office and the Salisbury Police Department pursued Hornsby. Maryland State Police also assisted. The pursuit traveled through Salisbury and ended in the area of RT 50 and RT 50 Bypass, near White Lowe Road. Pursing units forced Hornsby to stop his vehicle. Hornsby purposely rear ended a WCSO Department vehicle during the forced stop, causing minor property damage.

Robert Lee Hornsby Jr was arrested and is in the custody of the Wicomico County Sheriff’s Office
pending transfer to WCDC.

Charges: Robbery, Theft, Assault 2nd, Assault 1st, and Resisting arrest

Is this an indictment of the Wicomico County Board of Education?

By Thornton Crowe

People don't just slip through cracks... it's through others' negligence, criminal teachers have access to your children. Concerned?

Granted, we must grant the presumption of innocence to any defendant and Monica Snee is no exception; however, what does this say about the Wicomico County Board of Education and their vetting process for teachers and others within the schools who are around your children day in and day out?

While the WCBOE does do an FBI background check with fingerprints and all on teachers and substitutes, it's clearly not enough to prevent your child from being subject to an teaching drug dealer. Obviously, it would appear with this particular hiring, the powers that be didn't scrutinize any local court records for any criminal behavior. It also proves they don't do continual background follow-up like federal agencies perform on their employees (and families) every 3-4 years.

Is it really enough for your children's teachers to not be just child molesters? 

All we ever hear about is the teachers who make inappropriate sexual advances and situations of extreme like the Snee case but nothing is ever said about other behaviors that would likely violate ethics clauses and cause parents to be concerned about who is around and teaching their kids for 6-7 hours a day, five days a week, 9 months a year. That's a lot of face time to not be worried about the possible criminality a teacher could be imparting on your kids.

This lack of due diligence isn't just happening in education. The medical field has the same problem in their vetting. You would be shocked at some of the medical personnel sent to people's homes to care for the elderly who possess misdemeanor convictions for identity theft and simple robbery. Earlier this summer, we saw where one Dove Point residential care person was indicted for first degree murder. Yet, many agencies still employ these people because they hold the appropriate licenses to provide home healthcare and nursing home facilities and are not on the federal law enforcement radar.

How many other teachers are out there with issues like protective orders for domestic violence or drug dealing convictions or identity theft? Do we even know? Does anyone at the WCBOE even know? Can we really depend on the local Board of Education to vet teachers or do we now have to it ourselves at the beginning of every school? Isn't that what we pay them to do with our tax money - regardless of whether we have school-age children or not?
