They found that the OSHA eight-hour limit was exceeded in less than a minute for a driver during practice, within several minutes for his team members, and in less than one hour for spectators during the race. What this means is that a driver's noise dose was 50-900 times higher than the allowable occupational daily noise dose set by the federal government, the researchers reported.

Mom arrested for wet t-shirt at water park

On April 24, Lovett kicked off her shoes and joined her son at the newly opened Tavares Splash Park. But after her t-shirt and bra became soaked, parents complained to a park employee that the see-through shirt was "offensive," according to a police report. It's not clear why authorities were called, but park employees told police it was the third time in recent days that Lovett was asked to leave the park because of a wet shirt. Marks said Lovett wrapped a towel around herself and was approached by a Tavares police officer who asked her for her name as she was walking out of the park on the north shore of Lake Dora.

Family enjoys rare closeness after seven years together at sea

Ph2010073102648
After living the past seven years in this cabin the size of a hotel bathroom, the Crafton family seems in no hurry to clear out now. On a muggy, sun-drenched morning, all five of them -- knees just touching, lives completely entwined-- sit cheerfully in the sailboat that has been their home since they pulled away from this Severna Park dock in 2003.

The ground bacon burger

Img_2218-660x495
Would I recommend it? Reservedly, yes, but mostly because afterward you can honestly say you’ve eaten a burger made out of bacon, and not many people can say that. If you don’t care about the “honor” of it, I suggest sharing it with at least one other person, because it’s not likely you’ll actually want to eat more than half. I suggest uncured bacon so the salt doesn’t make your blood pressure spike. Cook it the way I did unless you want it to bathe in its own fat as it cooks. Oh, yes, and wash it down with something with a bite to it, because otherwise the taste of the bacon fat will likely overwhelm your palate.
