Question: We started seeing diatomaceous earth powder in our pool. We read that when you see this condition, there is probably a torn grid in the vertical grid filter. We took the filter apart but could not find anything wrong. The filter has been back in service for several days, but we still have powder in the pool. What is the problem? Answer: Without knowing where the diatomaceous-earth material is ending up in your pool, we will look at a number of options that could be causing your problem and the costs to repair it.

Janet Lovett's troubles started last April when she took her 7-year-old son to the Tavares Splash Park. She kicked off her shoes and jumped in to play with her boy. But after her T-shirt and bra became soaked, some parents complained to a park employee that the somewhat transparent shirt was "offensive. " Police were called and an officer asked Lovett for identification. Lovett said she didn't have it. When the officer asked Lovett for her name two more times, she became upset and eventually gave only her first name.

Relax roller coaster fans.There's been no recent fatal theme-park accident here in Orlando. On some Facebook walls on Sunday, reports attributed to "Fox News" stated that such an incident had happened, but the news item was uncovered as a possible virus link and, of course, a hoax. By late Sunday, Web sites such as dominant-domains.com even were offering instructions on how to delete the spam post. The recent iteration of a long-running hoax states that 16 people have died in an accident at "Universal Studios of Orlando.

In the tradition of the "Harry Potter" movies, Universal Orlando has come up with a sequel. On Tuesday, Universal Studios will open Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley, a follow-up to the blockbuster boy-wizard attraction that debuted in 2010. The original, built at Islands of Adventure, now is known as the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade. Although the two attractions have elements in common - rides, shops, wands, butterbeer, fish-and-chips - they are in two distinct settings: a village with a castle and a big city's bustling (but magically hidden)

It often starts with a doorbell ring or a knock at the front door. If no one answers, burglars take that as an invitation to find their way in through one of the most vulnerable entry points of any home: sliding-glass doors. Many homeowners don't realize that what they might consider to be an adequate barrier to protect their families and possessions is "just a piece of glass" waiting to be shattered, said Orlando Police Department Cpl. Kevlon Kirkpatrick. That's what happened last week when three teenage boys broke into a Sanford home while three children were inside.

KISSIMMEE — Eight-year-old Ari Cohen and his family are from Boca Raton, and could have gone pretty much anywhere, thanks to the South Florida chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps grant wishes to children with life-threatening diseases. But they came here, just 149 miles from home, to the Give Kids the World Village in Kissimmee. No regrets. "I'm speechless," said Leah, Ari's mom. "They could not have made us feel more welcome, more at home. This is a wonderful place.

My recent travel story on Florida beaches generated some nice email responses, including a terrific request from reader Jeanine Vaerewyck of Orlando: "With so many dog people around, could you maybe do an article on 'dog beaches' in Florida?" In Jeanine's honor, here's a list of dog-friendly Florida beaches, as compiled by bringfido.com, a canine-oriented travel site. •Fort DeSoto Paw Playground and Beach, St. Petersburg: The playground has fenced areas for both large and small dogs, with doggy showers.

SANFORD - They looked like characters who had wandered off a movie set, more than a dozen outlaw bikers trooping into the Seminole County criminal courthouse week after week in April and May for a series of murder trials. Some took the witness stand. Others were there just to watch. Many had tattoos, beards, shaved heads or ponytails. Most were members of the Florida Warlocks, which law enforcement considers a dangerous outlaw motorcycle gang. The stories they told focused on threats, intimidation, beatings, knives, guns and killings.

A 46-year-old from Orlando has become the oldest woman to have a baby through in vitro fertilization using her own fresh - not frozen - biological eggs. Belinda Slaughter delivered her first child - a healthy baby boy - last September. Her son, Jackson, "is wonderful and perfectly healthy," said the proud mom. She wasn't trying to set a record. "I didn't think this was so special," said Slaughter, now 47, who is a dental hygienist. "I thought, 'There are women older than I am having babies.'" That's true, but not with their own eggs.

Be afraid.This summer be very afraid, because the yellow flies are out there in record numbers.Slightly smaller than a common housefly, ultra quiet and quick, the yellow fly has a bite that packs a bigger punch than a wasp sting.Not only is the bite painful, but victims often find it leaves nasty welts that are slow to heal.To help fend off the onslaught of yellow flies, Joe Ellis stocks cans of Off! insect repellent on the dockside tables at his restaurant, Little Joe's Hideaway, a popular hangout for Lake Harris boaters who motor up for burgers.

For more than a decade, the signature thrill of Universal Orlando's "Dragon Challenge" has been the ride's three near-collisions, in which the attraction's two intertwined roller coasters, speeding along their tracks at up to 60 mph, pass within 18 inches of each other. Riders will never experience that again. Universal Orlando said this week it has decided to permanently end the practice of launching the two coasters simultaneously. The resort now bills the attraction as a "high-speed chase between two coasters.
