AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -- This oven was new in July 2012. On August 31, 2014, we baked a pizza and then turned off the oven. A short time later, I heard a loud noise -- which was the center pane of glass exploding inside the oven door. The exterior and interior panes of glass were intact; but I don't understand how only the center panel could shatter like that. I didn't know it at the time, but tiny shards of glass were leaking out from the bottom of the door -- which I only realized after I had dug out a few glass shards from the bottom of my feet the next day.
When I contacted customer service and spoke to a "corporate manager," all she did was reiterate (like a parrot) that the oven was out of the one-year warranty period. When I pointed out to her that a quick check shows that this manufacturing defect has happened to Frigidaire ovens before, she repeated her script that the "item has not been recalled." Her lack of concern for the seriousness of exploding glass-- and the possibility of future victims-- was underwhelming.
I ordered some replacement filters for the water dispenser in my refrigerator, and a wrench to go with them because the housing is impossible to get off by hand (and I didn't want to destroy it with a regular wrench). The shipping was fairly quick - within a week - and the ordering was OK though there was absolutely zero information about which filter my 'fridge uses (some Google searching later, I found it). I got an email with the billing information, items, the usual stuff. But when I got my package, two things were missing: a paper statement of the transaction (usually standard in online orders), and the wrench!
So I called customer service. After a couple of minutes trying to identify my order without a statement, and no order number in the email, the representative (who was lukewarm at best, but not rude) finally told me that they have not carried these wrenches in a good while. So I asked, why is it still on the website, and why was I charged for this item? No idea, of course. I'm not sure how much I will ever trust a company who charges for items they cannot give me. Now I'm waiting for a refund, which "will come in a couple days." I'll be keeping an eye for it, even if it was "just" $3.99.
PEABODY, MASSACHUSETTS -- Purchased this french door fridge in July 2011. November week before Thanksgiving was without a fridge for a week. Stockpile of food for the holiday's gone. Called company spoke to a rude lady got nowhere with that. Now February 2012 again service in my home 3 times in one week. Replaced circuit board, blower, another $2.00 part, 3 days later NOT working again. Lost all the food once again. So two weeks and still waiting.
We are a family of 5 and it is the worst thing to go through. Customer service stinks... Lowe's is giving us a new one (not the same brand) cause Lowe's is standing behind us. A Big thank-you to Lowe's. Don't get me wrong it was a beautiful looking fridge but that's about it. I just want everyone to know that Frigidaire/Electrolux don't stand behind their products. Their motto is if it's repairable they will keep on fixing it no matter if it's new or not. Buyer Beware!!!
I have a model FTR1817LW Frigidaire fridge. We have this at our cottage and noticed this May that there is paint bubbling that would appear from rust under it. We went out to the cottage for July long weekend and now the paint is flaking off. To add to the problem I broke the door handle.
I phoned Electrolux who owns Frigidaire and they said I only have 1-year warranty and it is expired. I asked the woman who I could barely understand what kind of poor quality workmanship this thing is made with when it rusts from the inside out? She told me she could give me a number for a repair place, but I feel it's not worth it, as the repair would be to replace the door and is probably worth half the cost of the fridge. I have read on this site and others about these fridges rusting and I am disappointed in Frigidaire's product and their customer service. I will never buy an Electrolux/Frigidaire product again.
FLORRISANT, MISSOURI -- I shan't be long. Probably I should just reserve my comment and contain it to myself, but a revelation couldn't be read or known. I have had a major and consistent problem with the oven in my residence. In December of 2012 the oven was installed and within month had to be repaired, as the result of a faulty thermostat. Several months later, the problem surfaces again. This time an additional part was connected to the oven (note this part was never with the oven initially). Long story shorten, the repairman has been to my residence four (4) times for the same problem.
My first encounter with a Frigidaire representative telephonic enlighten me to the fact that the serviceman sent by the company from which the oven came wasn't an authorized repairman. Strange, I purchased the oven from a company (middleman) and not from Frigidaire. I incurred cost for the repair the third time. This last and fourth time brought the same problem (note the problem, when you want to self-clean the oven or attempt to bake or broil, the thermostat malfunctions). I learned of a 'service flash kit' being issued on this particular oven. So my questions were 'Should this range be recalled or are faulty parts being manufactured?'
Giving into consideration, the company only guarantees the oven for one (1) year has caused me to really consider any additional purchases of products by the manufacturer. I initiated a second telephonic audience with a Frigidaire representative Some 'hopefulness' was generated from that audience. The representative was very apologetic. I had a thought, maybe she felt my concerns. Now parts were order and to be shipped and I would be made whole. The parts never materialized at my door, and at this writing still haven't.
A contact with the oven's seller revealed a redirection to the manufacturer, as the parts come from them (note, the repair company also indicated this too). Now when contacted the manufacturer redirects to the repair company. Sounds like the runaround. Now with authorization and control numbers, I learn of a backlog for my particular parts, further those parts won't be available or shipped until January 30, 2014. So here I am. Can't prepare any form of a Christmas or New Year's dinner nor can my family and immediate relatives celebrate Kwanzaa which we have for the past twenty years.
Be it as it may, I spent over a thousand dollars in catering to ensure that our family tradition would happen. There are only so many limited meals one can prepare without the utilization of an oven if you're not into simplicity. One mainly, you can't bake nor broil. From December 18, 2013 through January 31, 2014 will be forty-four (44) days with limited practices with my oven.
I can't understand how and why I have to wait for parts from a multi-million dollar company. Could it be me acknowledging lodging a complaint with the BBB and FTC (Federal Trade Commission)? Maybe, maybe not. Secondly are parts manufactured in the USA or are my necessities the result of outsourcing. In closing, I thought you needed to hear from a quiet storm.
KEMAH, TEXAS -- Last night I was standing in my kitchen making dinner preparations. My back was to the Frigidaire side by side refrigerator model FFHS2622MB3. I heard a strange sound and said out loud what is that noise? Then I smelled a burning smell like an electrical fire. I thought someone was outside doing something associated with the noise and smell. The refrigerator is by the back door and when I reached to open the back door I saw smoke boiling out the back of the refrigerator! I called for help, unplugged the appliance, and put the fire out by blowing on it.
My husband then saw water dripping on electrical components in the back of the refrigerator. The water line is not connected since my cabinets were recently replaced and the refrigerator is new I have not had time to drill the holes to run the water lines. When I called Frigidaire they told me the product was manufactured Jan. 15, 2013, today is Jan. 20, 2014 and the product is no longer under warranty so they did nothing. I am just thankful that I was standing next to the appliance when it caught fire and not sound asleep with a house full of people! No help from Frigidaire!
I had a technician come to my home. He found a faulty relay capacitor and replaced it. The technician said this model was originally built with this obsolete relay capacitor (Frigidaire was aware of this) and after many problems started building the units with the updated version of this relay. I spoke to Frigidaire concerning this matter and all they had to say was sorry for the inconvenience. They re-checked their records and found no evidence of the faulty obsolete relay capacitor. This is seriously dangerous and I would warn anyone who owns one of these units to make certain they have the correct relay installed in their refrigerator!
MISSISSAUGA -- We are very disappointed with how our situation was dealt with. We had purchased the Frigidaire professional line (fridge, stove and dishwasher). Spending a little more for the better line we were made to feel we were buying quality.
Our fridge shelves that weren't lined with the rubber cracked within the first 6 months and subsequently completely broke within a year. Then last month just prior to our thanksgiving (Canadian) our fridge completely stopped working. We ended up losing over $250 dollars' worth of food! Then the kicker was that no one could see us for 1 WEEK! We had to go out and purchase a small fridge to get us by for the next week $150. When the service man came to fix the problem it ended up being a loose wire behind a panel in the freezer. We were also informed that this made the fridge work hard for the last few years... translation raising our energy costs. This cost us $100.
When we went to notify customer service of our experience they could not of cared less. It was just a rude "nothing we can do... it's off warranty". This makes us wonder why even have this service. When my husband asked to speak to someone else she replied "no one will speak to you about this matter". Wow! We called head office to let them know of how their customers are being handled and no one has even bothered to call us back. Both my husband and I are in marketing and advertising and know what just one dissatisfied customer can mean to a company.
Obviously this is a company that is willing to take that gamble. In the future I will better research how companies take care of their customers, with social media being such a part of our every day you think a company would take an opportunity to make a customer happy. Instead we will certainly let our circle of 300+ people to stay away from this line. Definite fail on your part Frigidaire. Could have just apologized or sent us a little product like a shelf with liner and kept a customer that spent $6000 on your products happy.
I purchased my Frigidaire appliances 4 years ago, and didn't install them in the home for another 6 months. I purchased a kitchen package that included the fridge, oven/range, B/I microwave, and dishwasher. As of today I know have all 4 piece broke.. The try for the outside ice maker broken off just months after purchase, and the shelves in the freezer side don't actually fit and sometimes the slip and the rack falls and so does all the items on it.
The Dishwasher was next the "control box/ panel" went out 18 months after purchase, the part and labor would of ran about 200 dollars, I said no thanks and to this day I have to reset the circuit every time I need to run it. The handle on the microwave just cracked off and to replace it 100 dollars and now the over went out. Worked yesterday and now nothing. I have not every been so disappointed in a product let alone a brand. This was my first appliance purchase ever and I was putting these items into my first home.
I thought these items would of lasted at least 10 years. I know the appliances in my mom's home have lasted for years. I again cannot express how much these items suck. I will never purchase the Frigidaire brand or any other brand associated to them. Please take my advice and DON'T purchase this brand!!
I purchased four Professional Model Frigidaire appliances in November of 2011, with a delivery date on January 13, 2012. The gas range and side by side refrigerator did not work correctly from the beginning. The range gave off a gas smell when not in use. This was very evident in the summer when the air conditioner was running. I had my gas line checked, had local repair technicians here, and called Frigidaire so they could inform me of service providers in the area. The service providers they gave me were one to two hours away from where I live.
The provider I chose to call never returned my call. It took forever for the burners to heat the food and bring things to a boil. The oven would also shut off on its own in the middle of baking. I ended up getting rid of the gas range and buying a Whirlpool electric range from a local dealer who provides their own service. Unfortunately I was not aware of this local dealership when I moved here.
The ice maker shut off bar never worked on the refrigerator. I would have ice all over the place, and a frost build up in the ice chute, which resulted in the freezer door freezing shut. Needless to say, I had a big mess. My refrigerator also freezes the vegetables. It's always a surprise as to when it will happen. Within one year, my dishwasher rack rusted. Some of the prongs on the rack are so rusted that they're ready to break off. Frigidaire will be happy to sell me another lower rack for $118.13. On a positive note, the microwave works fine so far.
This will be my first and last experience buying Frigidaire appliance. All Frigidaire will say now is, I didn't purchase the extended warranty. Nothing was fixed correctly under the one-year warranty. Unfortunately, this has been extremely frustrating, consuming of my time, costly, as well as a very negative experience. It is very costly to buy six new appliances at one time. Thank goodness, two of them were not Frigidaire!
I will go back to purchasing the same appliance brand that I had always purchased prior to the purchase of these Frigidaire appliances. I will never buy anything Frigidaire again! As for customer service, you can spend lots of time on hold, and pushing buttons, but you will not get any satisfaction.
WINNIPEG, MANITOBA -- I have had my Frigidaire for just under 5 years and already the inside back wall has rusted. The rust has gone almost all the way through. After buying 7 brand new Frigidaire professional series appliances - washing machine, dryer, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and stove-oven, within 5 years we have had to replace the washing machine and matching dryer, and now the refrigerator.
Since the freezer is a matching paired unit, with the build in bezel, I will need to replace the matching freezer as well. This is the worst reliability I've had with ANY appliance manufacturer to date. We have built 7 homes in the last 19 years and have replaced all the appliances with every move. We are to be building again soon and will never purchase Frigidaire/Electrolux appliances again. I'm writing this to hopefully alert other potential purchasers so that they may use this information in their buying decisions.

Jonathan Papelbon was one of four Red Sox to file for salary arbitration Friday, joining 124 other major leaguers in declaring they were eligible for the process. Also filing from the Sox were outfielder Jeremy Hermida, and relief pitchers Ramon Ramirez and Manny Delcarmen. Tuesday is the deadline for teams and players to submit salary figures for arbitration. No Red Sox player has reached an arbitration hearing in Theo Epstein's tenure as Red Sox' GM, with Papelbon having avoided the process last year by agreeing to a one-year deal for $6.25 million, a record amount for a first-year arbitration-eligible pitcher. Hermida avoided arbitration in his first year of being eligible, last year, signing a one-year, $2.25 million deal. This will be the first time Ramirez or Delcarmen are eligible for arbitration.

NHL Preview from The Sports Network
Thursday, November 7th (All times Eastern)
New Jersey Devils (3-7-4) at Philadelphia Flyers (4-9-1), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - A pair of offensively-challenged division rivals will meet Thursday in Philadelphia, as the Flyers welcome the New Jersey Devils in a clash at the Wells Fargo Center.
Philadelphia enters Thursday averaging an NHL-worst 1.57 goals per game, while the Devils are ranked 28th in the league at just 1.86 GPG. New Jersey is coming off consecutive shutout losses, including a 1-0 home setback last Saturday against the Flyers.
Both the Devils and Flyers' scoring issues were on display Saturday in Newark. Ray Emery only needed to stop 14 shots to record the shutout for Philadelphia and Brayden Schenn recorded the lone goal of the game. It was the second win for the Flyers in the past three meetings with New Jersey, but the Devils have taken four of their last six games in Philadelphia.
The Devils followed Saturday's loss with a 4-0 setback at Minnesota on Sunday and have gone seven periods without scoring a goal. New Jersey's last tally came on a Jaromir Jagr goal in the second period of a 2-1 win over Tampa Bay on Oct. 29.
After putting only 14 shots on net in Saturday's loss to the Flyers, the Devils got just 19 shots on net against the Wild, who saw Josh Harding record his second shutout of the season. Cory Schneider allowed three goals on 19 shots in a losing effort for New Jersey.
"It's frustrating to a point, but you've just got to keep plugging away. Everything's not going to go your way and you have to just keep fighting through it," Devils center Stephen Gionta said.
Schneider returned from a lower-body injury on Tuesday to make his first start since Oct. 24, but Martin Brodeur will get the call on Thursday. Brodeur stopped 20-of-21 shots in Saturday's setback and is 48-31-3 with six ties and a 2.41 goals against average against Philadelphia in his career.
The Flyers could turn to Emery in net on Thursday after his shutout performance against the Devils on Saturday. Steve Mason took the loss in Philadelphia's game Tuesday in Carolina, as the Flyers coughed up a lead late in regulation and then fell in overtime after Manny Malhotra scored at 2:40 of the extra session.
Mason made 36 saves for the Flyers in the 2-1 setback, but he couldn't stop Malhotra in OT. After Philadelphia defenseman Mark Streit turned the puck over, Malhotra got behind the defense and charged in on Mason before beating him with a backhander.
The Flyers led 1-0 thanks to Scott Hartnell's first goal of the season with 3:58 left in the third, but Jordan Staal tied the contest with 52.3 seconds remaining in regulation.
Tuesday's loss marked the 13th time in 14 games this season that the Flyers have been held to two goals or less.
"Wins are hard to come by right now," said Mason. "We just have to stay positive and keep working hard."
Claude Giroux is somebody who is trying to stay positive, as the Flyers captain has gone 14 games into the season without scoring a goal.
"We just have to start doing the right things out there," Giroux told the Flyers official website. "If we start doing the right things then good things will happen."
On the injury front, Patrik Elias will miss a third straight game for the Devils due to upper-body soreness, but fellow forward Travis Zajac (ankle) could play after sitting out the past two contests. New Jersey defenseman Peter Harrold also could be back tonight after sitting out the last five games with a lower-body injury.

This is one of those no-reason quilts, but after seeing this print I just had to try making a kite tail quilt.
It took some trial and error…and I'm still pretending like those points are all matched up (they're not). It's been hanging on the wall while I decide what to do with it.
I want to quilt "clouds" in the white space…but it'll take some work to get my clouds just right. On paper they either look like flowers or scallops. Should be an adventure!

The Specials
The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England.Follow Share
The Specials (sometimes called The Special AKA) are an English 2 Tone ska revival band formed in 1977 in Coventry, England. Their music combined a "danceable ska and rocksteady beat with punk's energy and attitude", and had a "more focused and informed political and social stance" than other ska groups. The group was formed by songwriter/keyboardist Jerry Dammers, with Terry Hall (vocals), Lynval Golding (guitar, vocals) and a rhythm section. The band wore mod-style "1960s period rude boy outfits (pork pie hats, tonic and mohair suits, and loafers)." In 1979, the song "Too Much Too Young", the lead track on their ''The Special AKA Live!'' EP, reached number one in the UK. In 1981, the unemployment-themed single "Ghost Town" single also hit number one in the UK Singles Chart. Their music is featured in film and television soundtracks. After seven consecutive UK Top 10 singles between 1979 and 1981, the band broke up. In 2008, it was announced that the band would reform and embark on a 30th anniversary tour in 2009. As of 2010, they are touring America and Europe.

Photograph of participants in 1964 square dance leadership conference organized by Bob Osgood at UCLA, along with a roster of participants. Jim Mayo describes this event in his 2003 book, Step By Step Through Modern Square Dance History:
"Bob Osgood recognized that caller interaction and leadership would be of crucial importance as the modern square dance activity developed. Whatever information was available was published promptly in his magazine but he knew that it reached a very small segment of the exploding dancer and caller population. He had brought together several of the most active and respected callers of the day who served both as friends and leaders. One or more of them appeared on the staff of most of the festivals, conventions and dancer institutes throughout the country. Between them they had contacts with a large share of the active callers of the day. With this advisory group, which included Ed Gilmore, Lee Helsel, Bruce Johnson, Arnie Kronenberger, Bob Page and Bob Ruff, a Leadership Conference for callers was held at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in July 1964 just before the National Square Dance Convention, held that year in Long Beach, California. About fifty of us gathered there for a two-day discussion about square dancing and our responsibilities to it.
"This leadership conference was not and did not pretend to be a school for callers. It did, however, include a significant share of the callers who were actively teaching others to call. It helped raise our awareness about how widespread the activity had become and the extent to which we could all benefit from increased cooperation and coordination. Most of those present at that meeting would also be present at the first CALLERLAB Convention a decade later. A repeat of that meeting was held the next year but, because the National Convention had moved to another location it did not have the broad representation from outside the area that was present at the first conference."
Mayo adds (2013): "It was a unique and impressive collection of those who were leading MWSD as it roared through a huge growth period. The event was a very significant one for MWSD. The group in the front right of the picture is most of those who 6 years later would be called together by Bob to start the formation of CALLERLAB. (The obvious missing person is Les Gotcher but he was not an organization man.)"

You know the phrase, "It's only original once." This '64 Sting Ray coupe is the embodiment of it. This Midyear is distinctive among Corvette lovers not for its factory Ermine White paint or by its powertrain combination of the 300hp 327, M-20 four-speed and Positraction. It's the mileage on and condition of this Corvette that make it outstanding. Its odometer shows less than 25,000 miles, and current owner Doyle Thomas says this about its condition: "It's very original. It's never had a screw out of the interior."
Actually, some interior fasteners were likely removed, then replaced to install what Doyle calls the car's most unique feature: a dealer-installed air-conditioning system. "It's a Chevrolet item, and the warranty card that I have says 'Chevrolet' and 'Frigidaire' on it," says Doyle, who says the car's paperwork also includes the receipt from when the Sting Ray's original owner had it installed. "He'd bought this car for his wife, and she was in her 60s when he bought it for her," Doyle explains. "Within ten days of him buying it, he took it back to that dealer and they installed this air system." Doyle also points out that for a dealer-installed set-up that was put in over forty years ago, it still blows cold air through the outlets located beneath the rear window.
The rest of the car is no less amazing. "It is original, with all the documentation," says Doyle. "It has all the dealer information and the original keys and key chain." Also included with the items from that Chevy dealer in Pell City, Alabama: an ice scraper with the dealer's name on it, which Doyle notes was just one of the souvenirs that dealer (and thousands more across the U.S.) gave away back in 1964.
Those souvenirs and the car's original bill of sale, order blank, warranty information, and other paperwork back up the condition of this Vette-which is so good that it's been the standard by which other '64 Sting Rays are measured. "For about three years, the NCRS used this car to judge Midyears with," Doyle says about this C2's recent history.
Speaking of history, this '64 has made plenty of its own. "It's one of the first five Corvettes to gather up all the awards-Survivor, Benchmark, NCRS Top Flight, and Bloomington Gold," Doyle says. And it's still in the excellent, original condition you'd expect of a Corvette that's scored those awards based on its condition and originality. "It still qualifies for being a Survivor," Doyle adds. "They allow you to have a certain percentage of touch-up paint, and that's all this car has ever had. It has not had a total repaint. It's only been painted where it needed touching up, where the paint had checked a little bit and gotten a little aged."
How did Doyle find this Vette? He says he heard about it from one of the guys who does Corvette work for him. "He's the one who located the car, and he tried to buy the car for about four or five years," Doyle says. "Finally, he ended up buying it from the original owner's family. He kept the car for two or three years while NCRS used it for judging. Then I approached him about buying it, and he sold it to me, and I've had it ever since." That was about a decade ago when this '64 joined Doyle's Corvette collection, which numbers at least a dozen more-including the "Z066" Vette Rod we featured here last October.
Since then, Doyle has driven it very little. "It'll go out maybe once or twice a year and I'll drive it maybe 30 or 40 miles, something like that," he says. "It's not on a monthly deal to go out on the highway, but it's started and moved every month."
Historians note that for 1964, Chevrolet offered its widest choice of car sizes, body styles, and options to date-in a year when it added the mid-size Chevelle and "face-lifted" its other steel-bodied lines. Corvette sales kept on the upward trend they'd been on since 1956, with 22,229 Sting Rays (8,304 coupes and 13,925 convertibles) built in 1964, another all-time record for America's Only True Sports Car. Of those, over half were optioned with the M-20 four-speed, 10,471 got the 300hp 327, and nearly 4,000 were painted Ermine White.
But none of those have the history, originality, or coolness (A/C-induced or otherwise) of Doyle's '64.

Why Is Romney Still Behind?
So far in his campaign for the presidency, Mitt Romney has had four big chances to move the needle in his direction. At the beginning, when he won the Republican nomination; during June, when it became clear that the economy was slowing down; last month, when he went abroad; and two weekends ago, when he chose Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan as his running mate.
In no case did he see a meaningful boost. Consolidating Republicans behind his candidacy garnered him a 45 percent vote share—the floor for either the Democratic or Republican nominee—and choosing Ryan as his running mate gave him a boost of one percentage point—four points below the median vice-presidential bump. Here is what the race has looked like since April, when the general election began in earnest:
For all the gaffes and controversies, nothing has changed. President Obama continues to hold a small but steady lead over Romney, and Romney remains unable to break past the 45-percent threshold.
The latest poll from NBC News and The Wall Street Journal is another data point that confirms this hypothesis. In it, Barack Obama takes 48 percent among registered voters to Mitt Romney's 44 percent. Obama's popularity is in line with his performance in the head-to-head match-up: 48 percent of Americans hold a positive view of him; 43 percent hold a negative one. Mitt Romney, by contrast, is still disliked by a significant chunk of Americans: only 38 percent hold a positive view of him; 44 percent hold a negative one.
The good news for Romney is that Americans trust him to fix the economy—44 percent of voters say he has good ideas for how to improve the economy, compared with 38 percent for Obama.
As for everything else? Only 23 percent say Romney is easy-going and likeable, compared with 58 percent for Obama. Only 24 percent trust him to deal effectively with women's issues; 30 percent say he cares about average people; and 34 percent say he would be good at dealing with issues of concern to seniors. A solid majority of respondents—51 percent—say Romney is "out-of-step" with the mainstream and 44 percent disagree. By contrast, 54 percent say that Obama is in step with the thinking of most Americans.
This isn't good news for Romney, but none of it answers the core question: Given the poor economy, why can't Romney establish a lead in the race? Americans are apt to dismiss incumbents when economic conditions are poor, and we are entering our third year of mass unemployment.
Buried in the poll results are a few possible answers.
First, Americans are more hopeful than not about where the economy is going; 36 percent say the economy will get better in the next 12 months, compared with 18 percent who say it will get worse. Fifty percent say the economy is recovering compared with the 46 percent who say its stagnant, and when asked if they are optimistic, Americans are split: 46 percent say yes, and 46 percent say no.
What's more, 34 percent are "extremely" or "quite" confident that Obama has the right set of goals and policies to improve the economy. Only 27 percent say the same for Romney.
In short, the public isn't as down on the economy as we might think, and because of this, voters aren't ready to dump Obama.
Romney has less than three months to convince them otherwise, and it's still possible. But the window is closing—fast. Challengers rarely overtake incumbents in the fall—the 1980 presidential election is widely cited as an important exception, but even then, Ronald Reagan's lead over Jimmy Carter was well-established going into the last leg of the campaign.
Romney needs to recover soon, or on November 7, he'll be heading back to Massachusetts.

Add to this now who the GOP has shown it true colors on women's issues adding to how out of step it looks on minorities already. Romney is out of step with the current mood of the country on everything except he made alot of money so the public thinks he can't be completely without worth, but other than that, not finding much to like about the guy. They don't trust him because he's given them no reason to trust him.

Friday Five: Things I Love About Space!
"Friday" Five on a Wednesday? Yea. This was originally posted by yours truly over at GeekLore on Friday, April 29, 2010. I'm going to cross post these on murfSTUFF as well. I'm just a little behind in getting up on murfSTUFF is all. So, look out for a new Friday Five this Friday on murfSTUFF and GeekLore, but for now enjoy this few days old one.
Before I begin, I'd like to introduce myself! I'm murf, author and owner of www.murfstuff.com. I like video games, science, animation and other assorted general geekery. I often like to reflect on these things as my life waddles down its continued course, and thus is born my weekly blog series: murf's Friday Five. Every Friday, I take something on my mind and give a list of five things (in no particular order) on that topic that are of interest to me. It could be about a game I played, a movie I watched, a topic I like, anything! So I hope you enjoy!
So welcome to the first Friday Five list which is "Things I Love About Space"! Why start with this? It's a topic near to my heart, but also because of…. oh wait… that's sort of a spoiler. I know! If my Friday Five contains spoilers about something I'll post this warning notice:
Spoiler Warning for: Portal 2
Spoiler Level: Low
That way you know what I'm spoiling, and how pivotal that spoiler may be. So, as I was saying, near the end of Portal 2 you encounter a personality core that is obsessed with space, which hit a strong note with me because I also love the empty void beyond our atmosphere. His incoherent ramblings of space got me thinking. So here are five things I love about space that I have learned from the likes of Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Phil Plaitt and other astronomers and astrophysicists. That being said, I'm not an astronomer or even a scientist so while I relay these topics to you as I understand them being a hobbyist, I fully admit to having no expertise in the field and strongly caution that I could be, and probably am, at least partially wrong.
Black Holes
You probably imagine some sort of cosmic vortex eating away at everything, don't you? Surprise! Black holes aren't really like that. In fact, if our sun turned into a black hole instead of a white dwarf, the solar system would stay the same. The new black hole wouldn't generate any additional gravity. They are not the cosmic vacuum cleaners science fiction makes them out to be. Now, getting stuck beyond the event horizon means no coming back and the strong gravitational forces will rip anything nearby to shreds, but they just don't go around eating everything. Black holes fascinate me because they are mysteries about them that still are unsolved. Einstein's theories of relativity work throughout the cosmos but fall apart when you reach the core of a black hole. My favorite thing about black holes? The term for dying by getting sucked into one. I suggest you check out this video of of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson describing this process.
Carl Sagan once eloquently said "We are made of star stuff." This is true. The elements of the periodic table are forged in the hearts of stars. Our own sun is in the process of smashing hydrogen atoms together and making helium, thus generating enough energy via exothermic (releases energy) reactions to keep the sun from collapsing. Where our sun won't make it past carbon, more massive stars will keep this process going until it hits iron, which is endothermic (takes energy). The star will collapse and explode. If the star was massive enough, this is a supernova. The then fused elements will be strewn about their cosmic neighborhood where they'll form into new starts, planets, asteroids, etcetra. If one of those planets is lucky enough, the vast quantities of carbon made in the star can begin the process of forming the complex chemistry essential life.
Saturn & its Moons
The Solar System is home to us. From tiny little Mercury, to the distant Kuiper Belt (home of Pluto). One planet of our eight planets (yes, I agree with IAU's demotion of Pluto) stands out like a crown jewel: Saturn, with its gorgeous rings. It has a hexagon cloud formation on one of its poles. It has a moon called Mimas that looks like the Death Star. It has Titan, the the largest moon in the solar system, and it has an atmosphere and lakes larger than Lake Superior that are filled with liquid methane. Or the moon Enceladus with its ice geysers which eject ice into space and help form the outer-most ring of Saturn. I could rant about Saturn all day. It's not only pretty, but scientifically interesting!
The Panspermia Hypothesis
Imagine a microbe. A tiny spec of life in bacterial form. Image it being on Mars a really like time ago. Now imagine an asteroid comes along and smacks into Mars launching a massive amount of debris into the cold dead of space with that little microbe along for the ride. Yet somehow, this little microbe and a few of his siblings are alive through this endeavour. Sometime later, that rock jettisoned from Mars finds its way to an Earth that hasn't developed life yet. The rock lands, the microbes live and then thrive. Thus life on Earth, first started on Mars. At least in scientific hypothesis. This is not a widely held idea, even by scientific standards, but how cool would it be if life as we know it started on another planet that was previously more hospitable to life then our own? I personally think life started here on Earth, but its a cool idea to toss around.
Dark Energy & Dark Matter
Edwin Hubble, namesake of the famous telescope, determined that the Universe is expanding when by all accounts it should not be. Something that we cannot detect is driving the continued acceleration of the universe. We call this 'Dark Energy.' What is it? We don't know. Then there's actually an excess of gravity that we can't explain either. There's more gravity than should be present by our current models of matter in the universe. This excess gravity is called 'Dark Matter.' What is it? We don't know. Dark Energy & Dark Matter are interesting because we don't know what the hell is going on. Science is readily willing to admit that. We have no clue what the hell is going on. We only that is going on. This excites me because it shows how much we still have yet to learn.
So that's my first Friday Five (ABOUT SPACE)! I hope you enjoyed it, and please look forward to my next one, whatever it may be about.

- Employment News
By jim | Dated: 12-19-2012
In the not-so-distant future, civilians in Denver will be joining the ranks of the police department to undertake the jobs of evidence collection to crime scene analysis, according to Fox News. This is nothing new, as it is part of a trend nationally that has been increasing of late.
Civilians will also be used to perform jobs such as lab technicians, fingerprint technicians and crime scene analysts. The move has the goal of saving money while also putting more officers back out into the field of patrol.
"We've identified approximately 45 positions that sworn police officers are currently doing that civilians can do … just as effectively," Chief Robert White said. "I'm pretty much of the philosophy if it doesn't require a badge and gun, with rare exceptions we should be looking for opportunities to have civilians to do that."
Professor Mary Dodge, the director of the Masters of Criminal Justice Program at CU Denver, said that the main benefit of doing such a thing is cost. "Departments with tight budgets can save a lot of money. If you have a detective, who let's just say theoretically is making $90,000, you can hire two people to fill that position."
White also said that putting civilians in non-dangerous positions helps to free up police officers to better serve the community and "to really get them focusing out in those communities and put them in the best position where they can partner with the citizens in an effort to meet our long-term goal, which is the continuation of the prevention of crime."
Dodge noted that civilians being able to perform jobs as well as police officers will depend on the training they receive and how well they respond to that training.
"Crime analysis is one of the most important positions that departments have now … and that's what you get through a university," he said. "For example you have a student who is graduating who has crime-mapping skills and they can go in to a department and offer a great deal that a police officer may have no training in."
Dodge noted that a major problem could be resentment amongst officers who might get the feeling that they are being displaced. Dodge said that collaboration needs to be stressed.
"For example in a crime lab they're looking at little pieces of evidence and so a civilian can do that," Dodge said. "But they may miss the whole picture. If you still have sworn police officers in your crime lab they can put the puzzle pieces together."
White hopes to add anywhere from 40 to 50 civilians to the Denver Police Department over the span of a couple of years. They will be taking phone reports, making cold calls and file field reports where an officer with a badge and gun is not needed.
White provided an example: "Police officers spend time taking traffic reports, tens of thousands of hours a year. That doesn't really require a police officer to be on the scene because there's not a crime in progress. Civilianization will actually help us put more sworn officers out on the street which will ultimately increase our response time (to dangerous crimes)," White said.

A Chat with Bradley Wiggins
Tuesday, 23rd Oct 2012
Following a phenomenal summer of successes, we caught up with Tour de France winner and multi-gold medallist Bradley Wiggins to chat heroes, sport and why he'd be more at home playing bass guitar than fronting the band.
I remember my first Fred Perry shirt. I got it in 1989 I think it was. It was the standard polo shirt in blue, I bought it myself. At the time, in the late eighties, Fred Perry wasn't a common thing to wear. I remember when I was about ten everything was Fila. Everyone went through this Fila thing. It was Fila and Kickers boots. I'd just started getting into the mod look, I'd seen Quadrophenia and that's where the Fred Perry top came from. That's where it all started for me really. So I was kind of a bit unique at the time - Fred Perry in the late eighties was going through a bit of a dip in recognition of its heritage and what it was selling, so I guess I was a bit out there for going for a Fred Perry.
I was a bit nervous about whether people would take to the collaboration or not. But the timing I don't think could have been better, with what happened in summer with the Tour and the Olympics. It's been brilliant really; everything's just come together both on and off the bike. It's nice for me that people like Paul Weller have thanked me for the shirt, and seeing people like Steve Craddock and Andy Croft wearing theirs, it's just really nice. And then Johnny Marr Tweeting about it and going to the store - it's a bit like, bloody hell!
I've got to meet many of my heroes the past few months. And some of them being slightly in awe to meet me is very strange, and that's through sports. I got to watch the Stone Roses, and they were brilliant and Miles Kane. It's bizarre but that's what really nice about the crossover between sports and music. Everybody wants to celebrate cycling and the successes of the summer by wearing this heritage crossover piece. As I said, the timing couldn't have been better for everybody.
For me, looking back, the mod look will always be about the Small Faces. I met Kenney Jones a while back after the Olympics, and he's one of the original forefathers. But then after that obviously Weller and The Jam, the revival thing, and then again in modern day, him being able to be a trendsetter as well as evolving it and not being a cliché in that look; he has taken his own stamp on it. But then also for me, it's weird for me to try and take my own style into all this. Because people look at me like that now, which is nice, it's nice to have that. And I've seen a lot of stuff in the Press like 'Mod' on the cover of The Sun, or the Mirror and that and I guess it has given it a revival in a way really.
When I was on the Tour, I was there with my photographer Scott who's also a photographer for The Moons. He'd always hang around at the finish because I would always go back to the hotel in a separate car from the team, and we were listening to the promo of The Moons new album a lot. Songs like English Summer and Jennifer. That became a bit of a soundtrack for the third week of the Tour for us, and the Olympics. And then we were hanging out with Andy Croft a bit after the Olympics, and he was really surprised we were listening to that. So The Moons' new album really sums up this summer for me.
There are many tracks that I listen to often, but for me, again, it's all about the Small Faces. I never tire of listening to Ogden's, forty years on from when it was made. I was talking to Kenney Jones about that - he was 15 years old when he wrote Ogden's. They were all teenagers when they wrote that album, but the sound of it; it could be a band today. It's just brilliant. That proves how good they were as musicians and songwriters. That whole album has still stood the test of time. For me, it's a benchmark that everyone followed.
When you're a teenager you're at your most easily influenced. I was 15 when Paul Weller's Stanley Road came out, so a lot of the songs on that have meaning. Definitely Maybe by Oasis came out I was fourteen. When you're a teenager you always sway towards the rebellious - I grew up with Oasis. It's still stands as much today as it did then. When I was a teenager I was attracted by that rebellious character - that was definitely the case for me.
I'm coming up to the point where I've spent more time in the North of England than the South. I moved to Manchester when I was eighteen because that's where the national cycling centre was and I've been up there ever since. I got really into the heritage of the music – Northern Soul I really got into big - so I started collecting a lot of vinyl; the Wigan Casino stuff and the Twisted Wheel. And I really got into the whole Manchester band thing that happened; with The Smiths and everything, it's a whole different scene up there. It's a much more untapped scene, whereas the London music scene has the whole history with Carnaby Street and that area, and it's become a bit too commercialised and touristy. In comparison to that, the Northern scene's stayed much more underground.
I've always struggled being at the forefront of something, whether it's as a team leader or whatever, I don't like being the front man. I like to be in a position where I can be in the background a bit. I don't like being the voice of something. I suppose I've always swayed towards bass players- people like John Entwistle, who's my hero, musically. I always liked that even though he's probably one of the best musicians in the world for what he did, but you might not ever recognise him in the street. And he was just very humble and modest about what he did. I would have loved to have been as good a bass player as him.
I think Miles Kane has the potential to go on and be the next Weller. Definitely, over the next few years. There's other bands too – Gun Club Cemetery have started to get a little following together on Twitter, The Moons again, and Little Barry, they've got some good singles. They're the bands I'm backing.
Rugby's the hardest sport in the world. I have real admiration for the Wigan Warriors. They're just so modest and normal blokes. They probably don't get paid half as much as they should, in comparison to footballers. It's a working man's sport.

Elizabeth Crawford, Watson College of Education, Named to National Board
Monday, December 03, 2012
A non-profit educational organization has named Elizabeth Crawford, a faculty member in the Department of Elementary, Middle Level, and Literacy Education at the UNCW Watson College of Education, to its board of directors.
The Institute for Humane Education (IHE) is a non-profit educational organization headquartered in Surry, Maine. Founded in 1996, it offers graduate degree programs, online courses, workshops, summer institutes and an award-winning online resource center. Humane education approaches human rights, environmental preservation and animal protection as interconnected global issues.
"As a teacher educator, researcher and curriculum designer, I strive to promote the principles of humane education in all aspects of my personal and professional life," Crawford said. "Like IHE, I believe education should instill in students the desire to live ethically, sustainably and peaceably, and instill in them the knowledge and skills to be change agents for a better world."
Crawford holds degrees in anthropology, elementary education, and curriculum leadership, which have helped to inform her teaching, research, and curriculum development in global education for the Peace Corps World Wise Schools and the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. A teacher educator specializing in social studies and global education, she earned a doctorate from the College of William & Mary, a M.S. in elementary education from Florida State University, and a B.A. in anthropology from the University of Georgia.

Telecoms regulator Ofcom has just published a study into the state of online copyright infringement in the UK, with some very interesting conclusions. The researchers found that 10% of the country's most prolific infringers are responsible for almost 80% of all infringements carried out online, but with a bonus. These plus an additional 10% of infringers spend 300% more than 'honest' consumers who don't infringe copyright at all.
Early 2012 UK telecoms regulator Ofcom commissioned research designed to track consumer behavior and attitudes towards the legal and illegal consumption of copyrighted material.
The research targeted Internet users over 12 years old with the aim of gathering information on the way they consume movies, music, TV shows, video games, software and books to assist with copyright enforcement policy making. The results are now in and they interesting to say the least.
The researchers split infringers into several categories according to their attitudes and motivations.
So-called 'Justifying Infringers' were the group who demonstrated the highest levels of infringing behavior. This group accounted for 9% of all infringers, 24% of total infringed volume and 2% of total digital consumers. They felt that they'd already spent enough on content (the researchers say this was confirmed) but like to try before they buy. They're also the most receptive group when it comes to considering fairly priced legal alternatives.
The 'Digital Transgressors' group (9% of all infringers, 22% of total infringed volume, 2% of total digital consumers) consumed more films and TV shows than the 'Justifying Infringers'. While they showed the least remorse over their behavior, this group had the highest fear of getting caught and the researchers say they would be the most receptive to warning notices sent by ISPs.
The largest group, the 'Free Infringers' (42% of infringers, 35% of infringed volume, 10% of total digital consumers) lived up to their name. They all download content because its free and pay for the lowest proportion of legal content compared to the other infringers.
Ambiguous Infringers (39% of infringers, 20% of infringed volume, 9% of total digital consumers) had the lowest level of digital consumption and the highest proportion of paid and legal content. They made less attempt to justify their infringing.

Connelly re-elected as chairman of SC Republicans
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Republicans have re-elected Chad Connelly as their leader.
Connelly fought off two challengers and won nearly 75 percent of the vote to remain chairman of the party after Saturday's vote at the GOP convention in Columbia. He was first elected in 2011.
Connelly has been criticized for his handling of the party's finances, but he was backed by many of the state's most powerful Republicans.
The convention also included speeches by Gov. Nikki Haley and U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham. Some at the convention booed Graham, who will likely face a primary challenge in 2014 from Republicans who think he is not conservative enough.
Events kicked off Friday with a speech at the annual Silver Elephant Dinner fundraiser from U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

The price of street gas being what it is, even the most hard-core hot rodder must grasp the consequences. Certainly, they can curtail driving to reduce fuel cost, which often precludes traditional destinations and may even cut into appearances at the local drive-in. There is a sensible way to combat this issue, even if it only means a few miles per gallon. Overdriven top gears have been around for many years, mostly at the behest of the OE manufacturers-see, they actually did learn something from the fuel-blank debacles of '73-79. Overdrive automatics became standard equipment a quarter-century ago. It's about time hot rodders got hip to this worthy upgrade. We can't believe anyone would still want to "cruise" with straight 4.56:1 gears.
The abuse the engine suffers at 3,500 droning rpm is a lot more worrisome than one gliding along the high-speed at a sedate two grand. Think how much quieter things will become. Think how much you'll reduce the size of your environmental footprint. The cruel fact is that as much as hot rodders have historically scoffed at the rules and the socially accepted norms of the period, we have to start playing the establishment game, at least to some extent. Here's one way to do it.
Though the notion seems simple enough-replace a transmission with a similar, albeit electronically controlled, one-all is not what it appears to be. Will the bellhousing attachment holes correspond to the ones on the back of the block? Will the driveshaft bolt back in? Is the hardware compatible? Before you begin, seriously consider using new fasteners available from any GM dealer or aftermarket source.
