Galerie der Schneebrillen
On October 24th, Oakley Germany hosted "Galerie der Schneebrillen" (Goggle Gallery) in the Munich Planentarium.
As media representatives, athletes, VIPs and friends entered the foyer of the planetarium, they were welcomed by Oakley riders and a gallery of images of Oakley athletes such as Terje Haakonsen, Tanner Hall and Anne-Flore Marxer posing with their Oakley signature goggles created by artists of the book "Art of Modern Rock."
Eyewear and goggles brand manager Axel Brosch presented Oakley's high-tech goggle features and patented technologies to the crowd. Images of Oakley's impact tests with competitors' products amazed and shocked the audience. Axel was joined by German Oakley riders Silvia Mittermüller and Marco Smolla who talked about their experiences with undistorted vision and eye protection on snow. Silvia told the audience that she had once had an eye laser surgery and was told not to expose herself to snowboarding for some time after her surgery. Silvia's trust in Oakley eyewear was so strong that she went snowboarding sooner rather than later and her eyes were fine thanks to Oakley's goggle technology.
In the days leading up to the goggle event, Oakley's women snowboard team members Silvia Mittermüller (GER), Gretchen Bleiler (USA) and Anne-Flore Marxer (CUI) were busy doing interviews and photo shoots with national and international media in Munich. Women's team manager Liesel Holz brought the girls on stage during the goggle event and the girls talked about women's snowboarding in general, the great opportunities and products they have had through Oakley and where they think female snowboarding is headed. The next day, they were off to Austria to coach at the Oakley Women's Snowboard Camp at the Hintertux glacier.

Check it out sometime, there are tons of other awesome bloggers in there, so it's really cool to flip through the biography pages, hey I know her!
I also made a crib sheet for my friend, she's due at the beginning of April, so I'm making a crib set with quilt for her. We picked out this awesome shot cotton, so soft and silky for the crib sheet. Unfortunately it has some huge snags in it. We decided to make it into a sheet anyway and make another one out of this purple Kona (sorry, totally blipped on the name of the color, it's really pretty though).
I'll show you the whole set up once it's all said and done. :)

Housing Associations
Housing Associations are organisations that build and manage homes that are available for rent (and sometimes to buy part of a share in). Housing Associations normally give tenants an Assured Tenancy, which means you have a lot of rights in your home. The Tenant Services Authority (TSA) regulates Housing Associations and makes sure that they manage their homes properly and that they keep their rents low.
There are a number of Housing Associations that have homes for rent within Charnwood. If you are on the council's Housing Register you can ask to be considered for Housing Association properties. Nominations to Housing Association properties will be offered to people depending on who has the highest level of points on the Housing Register at the time, in the same way as council properties are offered.
You can also apply for Housing Association properties directly. Further down the page there is a list of areas where Housing Associations have properties within Charnwood and contact details for all the Associations. If you are interested in applying for a particular area or scheme, you should contact the Housing Association directly.
Not all Housing Associations will have all parts of their waiting list open at a particular time. However they will be able to advise you as to when, in the future, they may begin to accept applications for a particular area or type of property again.
Each Housing Association will have a slightly different way in which they decide who should have the highest priority on their housing register, so you might be nearer the top of one Association's list than another. Most Housing Associations are unlikely to offer you accommodation if you owe rent or other money as a result of a tenancy you have had in the past with a council or another Housing Association. If you want to be considered for Housing Association properties and you owe money, you should ask the Housing Association you are applying to what their rules are.
Refer to related links below for links to Housing Associations with properties in Charnwood.

Calling the six-days-a-week mail delivery business model "no longer sustainable," the U.S. Postal Service announced Wednesday it will eliminate Saturday delivery of mail by Aug. 1.
The plan to change delivery from six days a week to five would only affect first-class mail. Packages, mail-order medicines, priority and express mail would still be delivered Saturdays, and local post offices would remain open for business Saturdays.
Within hours of the announcement, U.S. Rep. Susan Davis slammed the cut.
"While the USPS is certainly facing a critical financial situation, eliminating delivery on Saturday is not going to provide the savings necessary to right the ship," said Davis. whose 53rd Congressional District includes La Mesa, Spring Valley and Lemon Grove.
She continued:
This decision will only have a detrimental impact on postal customers and small businesses, many of whom have contacted my office. The postal service is an American institution people depend on and we need to give it the tools it needs to be robust rather than cutting it off at the knees.
There is also a question of the legality of USPS's move. Congress enacted legislation directing the USPS to maintain Saturday delivery and the USPS should go through Congress if it wants to alter delivery. The fact that a bipartisan majority of my colleagues and I cosponsored legislation to maintain Saturday delivery in the last Congress says that representatives and the people we represent want their voices heard on this issue.
There is no doubt that Congress needs to make postal reform a top priority. Congress and the USPS need to look together at all potential proposals within a broad context.
According to the U.S. Postal Service, the reasons are continued economic struggles and the increasing use of the Internet for communications and bill paying by consumers. The U.S. Postal Service is also the only federal agency required to pre-fund health benefits for retirees, and those costs are escalating quickly.
"Our current business model of delivering mail six days a week is no longer sustainable. We must change in order to remain an integral part of the American community for decades to come."
Saturday is the lightest mail delivery day by volume and many businesses are closed on Saturdays, according to the U.S. Postal Service. However, many residents receive print magazines and ads on Saturdays in the mail that may be shifted to another day.
A Rasmussen poll on mail delivery in 2012 showed "Three-out-of-four Americans (75%) would prefer the U.S. Postal Service cut mail delivery to five days a week rather than receive government subsidies to cover ongoing losses."
A USA Today/Gallup poll in 2010 found the majority of U.S. residents surveyed were OK with eliminating Saturday delivery. The March 2010 telephone survey of 999 adults revealed people age 55 and older were more likely than younger people to have used the mail to pay a bill or send a letter in the past two weeks.
How will this change affect you? Will you miss getting mail on Saturdays?

The reason Cabernet Sauvignon is so popular of course is that at its traditional best, in the most famous vineyards of Bordeaux, it can be so very, very good. In fact, contrary to popular belief, Cabernet Sauvignon is not the most planted grape in Bordeaux; Merlot is by a long way. This is because Cabernet ripens so much later than Merlot and can be very difficult to ripen fully. When it fails to reach full ripeness it can smell particularly green and leafy and it tastes a bit lean, tough and hollow. It is to fill this hole in the middle of the palate that so many Cabernet wines contain a certain amount of plumper Merlot.
The most classic Cabernet Sauvignon is one from a seriously run château in the Bordeaux regions of Medoc or Pessac-Leognan sub-district of Graves. Here, the soils are particularly well drained so that the vines dry out fast after rain, are encouraged to develop deep root systems, and tend to ripen the grapes quite effectively. Such wines (which usually contain some Merlot, a little of Cabernet Sauvignon's more aromatic relative Cabernet Franc and occasionally some Petit Verdot) demonstrate all of Cabernet's noblest hallmarks: exceptionally deep colour that is bluish purple when young (thanks to the grapes' thick skins); in young wines a particularly high level of tannins, the preservative that dries out the insides of our cheeks (due to the same phenomenon) and therefore an almost unequalled capacity to age in bottle; and a special affinity for oak, the vibrant signature cassis/blackcurrant fruit melding particularly well with the cedarwood and cigarbox aromas of new, top-quality French oak. Even today, when the grapes for such wines are being picked later and later, Bordeaux Cabernets tend to taste quite dry (as opposed to sweet) and can be inky and austere even until seven or eight years old. But underpinning all that structure (in a good example) is an extraordinary intensity of subtly layered fruit that can take 20 years to develop into a bouquet of haunting interest.
To my mind, the only other wine region that can claim to make Cabernet Sauvignon of a similar level of quality and in quite considerable quantity is California, specifically the Napa Valley (although Sonoma and Santa Cruz Mountain vineyards have also established admirable track records). These Cabernets have a similar intensity and, sometimes, flavour to the Bordeaux greats - they may even be equally tannic - but they tend to be distinctly riper, a bit more alcoholic, and sweeter. And few have (yet) proved that they can improve over decades rather than years.
Also in the United States, Washington state has been developing a reputation for dependable, user-friendly Cabernet, but here the wines tend to be less intense, more open and have a quality I can best describe as very bright, sharply etched fruit marked more by good natural acidity than inky tannins. I've had the odd Texas Cabernet like this too.
Chilean Cabernets are quite different. (They also tend to be differently priced, although a few would-be Napa-like bottlings are emerging from South America.) The cuttings for these Cabernet vineyards were imported from Bordeaux more than 150 years ago but have since adapted themselves to Chilean conditions. They tend to produce much softer, gentler, fruitier wines that can be enjoyed when only a year or two old and often have a vague whiff of milk chocolate about them, followed up by something ever so slightly salty on the palate. Argentine Cabernet is a relative rarity but is more explosive in flavour and more velvety in texture.
South African Cabernet is, as they say in France, en pleine évolution. Only very recently one could characterise it as being particularly tough and tart (for local wine lovers had been taught to admire tannin above all else and vine growers tended to pick conservatively early). But this is changing rapidly and there are some fine, still blackcurranty, often slightly floral Cabernets made both for early and medium-term drinking. Some of the fruitiest (and most unusual) Cabernet I have ever tasted came from Robertson - and was all the better for never having seen oak.
Australian Cabernet Sauvignon is some of the most distinctive (although obviously as elsewhere it can vary enormously in quality, from what is basically just red wine to something extremely ambitious). There is often more than a hint of eucalyptus on the nose of these dense, 'thick', full bodied wines, and the Cabernets from Coonawarra, supposedly Australia's perfect spot for Cabernet (although I would nominate Margaret River in Western Australia) can be quite tough and mineral-flavoured. Barossa and Southern Vales Cabernets tend to be much sweeter - particularly when they are blended with Shiraz, which they often are. New Zealand versions, produced in a significantly cooler climate, are lighter, high in acidity and, often, leafiness, although they are getting riper and toastier.
Cabernet is grown all over Europe, in very different conditions. In eastern Europe it rarely gets the oak treatment it deserves. Germany and England haven't a hope of ripening it on a regular basis (it's difficult enough in Bordeaux). The Loire Valley is growing more and more of it, though it is always lighter and gentler than red bordeaux and can be difficult to distinguish from the more widely planted Cabernet Franc. The Languedoc has yet to provide any stunning Cabernet.
Spanish wine producers have tended to swamp it with sweet, vanillin American oak, which does Cabernet no favours. All too often, early vintages of young Cabernet vines imported into a new country are just too simple, like alcoholic blackcurrant juice. Most producers learn that Cabernet is usually happiest when oaked and when blended with a fruitier grape such as Merlot, Syrah in Provence or, in the case of Austria, Zweigelt. Tuscan wine producers have long been trying to get the proportions of their manifold Cabernet/Sangiovese blends just right, and many of them, led by Sassicaia, have shown that Tuscany is probably the most likely third candidate for Cabernet paradise on earth, after Bordeaux and California. Tuscan Cabernet tends to be marked by firm structure, a certain but not unattractive bitterness, and a distinctly savoury flavour.
But perhaps the most distinctive Cabernet of all is that produced by Château Musar in the Lebanon. Here it is blended with Cinsaut to produce a unique, long-living cough syrup of a wine with enough wily charm to confound all but the most prejudiced wine drinkers.

Left-leaning commentators use creationism to argue against private school choice programs, but ignore complaints from the right about public schools.
Missouri's three separate pension systems stand in the way of improving the quality of the teacher workforce in Saint Louis and Kansas City.
Across the board, the majority of voters supported expanding educational options for students. Missouri lawmakers should keep this in mind as they work to "fix" the interdistrict transfer law.
With the exception of Saint Louis and Kansas City, which have autonomous pension systems, all of Missouri's school districts are part of the Public School Retirement System (PSRS). If a teacher moves from PSRS to one of the city plans, he or she will incur a significant loss in pension wealth.
Missouri has three separate pension systems for teachers. The system is great for teachers who work their entire career in one system, but it punishes mobile teachers.
Teachers in the Jefferson City School District pay more into the pension system than teachers in Hickman Mills, but receive less in their pensions.
One of the great myths in education is that all public schools serve all students. This argument is used to attack private school choice programs. Upon closer examination, however, this myth is found to be false.
A new Show-Me Institute study reveals that 92 percent of public school superintendents would be in favor of some type of teacher tenure reform.
A Great Wall exists that prohibits public funds from going to private schools. It is time to tear down that wall and enlist private schools in the cause of providing publicly financed education.
The school transfer law has managed to displease people on all sides of the issue. A potential solution is a tax credit scholarship program.
Dr. James Shuls on the failure of the good intentions behind the Common Core State Standards.
School choice would give Joplin School District teachers, including Randy Turner, more options for their labor.
When Terry Adams decided to retire from being the Wentzville School
District superintendent last April, he had some good reasons. After a
38-year career in education and being named Missouri School Public
Relations Association Superintendent of the Year in 2010, Adams was
looking forward to spending time with his grandchildren. Instead of
retiring, however, Adams accepted the interim superintendent position in
the Rockwood School District. He had good reasons for this decision as
School choice is about more than simply improving test scores; it also is about giving families opportunities to find the school that best meets their child's needs.
Randy Georges Sr. moved to the U.S. to obtain a good education; now, he may have to move across town so his kids can have the same opportunity. This is a sad state, especially when alternatives, such as giving families private school options, exist.
The state's foundation formula for K-12 education is currently underfunded. Some are calling for more spending, but freedom, not money, is the answer to our problem.
Proposition B might have brought some much-needed funding for education, but voters turned down the measure. The "no" vote may actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise if legislators act on the need to address school funding issues.
The state board of education voted to grant provisional accreditation to the Saint Louis Public School District, which is the correct decision, but this distinction will mean very little to schools or students.
Strong teachers' unions in large public school districts with multiple failing schools will do everything possible to maintain their jobs and benefits. If it is to happen, major reform must come from outside the existing system — through increased competition and choice.
Despite a final judgment in the school transfer case, the issue remains unresolved and neither taxpayers nor students will benefit.

You have graduated; you passed the boards, and you have finally found a practice that is a great fit. The owner is excited about having you start your career at the practice, too. Now you must walk through the door of that practice and make your first impression as a new team member.
It's great to see many practices are now acknowledging that the old, traditional methods of management are not effective, and they are modernizing their strategies and taking steps to improve staff morale, and consequently productivity.
New graduates do not have the privilege of "dating" practices. This a one reason why so few stay with their first practices.
The usual encounter starts with a progress-notes entry for the client concern, a weight (hopefully sequential with a body-condition score), a TPR, a BP, lead II ECG, tonopen screen and maybe even a urinary kidney screen.
One of the most often-used consultation summaries, in my experience, comes from the comments on creating our own day.
In preparing this article, my mind races back to my days as a veterinary student at Colorado State University. One of the more vivid memories I recall involved my surgery partner. He was performing a femoral head resection. The stockinette leg slips up his arm, and he grabs it with his lower jaw and shoulder just as the surgery professor walks up.
The trite phrase, "personality conflicts," allows key issues to be ignored or defined out of existence in daily operations. The term could mean the practice did not hire for "team fit," or they did not establish a "safe-haven" environment when establishing behavior expectations.
The phrase "open book management" means many different things to different people, and in some arenas makes the staff cringe with fear of the charts posted on the wall and the monthly beatings which occur when they do not reach their assigned quotas.
Practice owners need to strategize on employee compensation.

News Article
Capcom and Ninja Theory are returning to the demon-hunting franchise Devil May Cry with the raucous reboot DmC Devil May Cry, which casts the sarcastic son of Sparda in a new light. Join us for the next 4 days as we discuss Devil May Cry, both old and new, leading up to the game's release.
We've already spent Day 1 as a quick refresher course on the original anthology's cast of characters, and today you'll better understand why. Ninja Theory has taken an interesting angle on Capcom's well-known and well-loved characters, injecting them into a new universe with new rules and new threats to overcome. This is certainly not the Devil May Cry you know, but it's definitely got an interesting flavor all its own.
Losing the white hair and the business sense, Dante is now a rebellious young man who is blessed and cursed with the mantle of a Nephilim—the product of a demonic father and angelic mother. He is blessed, because he boasts the heightened abilities and weapons of both his supernatural parents; cursed, because he's also one of the few people that can see the truth behind the demonic forces that have subjugated the human race. He quickly goes from careless rabble-rouser to fearless freedom fighter upon his invitation to The Order, the anti-establishment movement started by…
Dante's twin brother from whom he was separated after the death of their mother, Vergil has taken the fight to the demons with The Order, the movement he leads behind a grinning silver mask. Much like the previous games in the series, Vergil is the emotional opposite of Dante, conducting himself in a calm, orderly fashion in the face of insurmountable odds, while Dante throws himself headfirst into the fray. He is helped in his systematic takedown of the demon regime by…
Little is known about Vergil's mysterious ward Kat, a hoodie-wearing witch who uses her ability of astral projection to assist Dante on his trek through the demonic dimension of Limbo. While her appearance in Limbo is ghostly, her invaluable assistance and magical knowledge makes her more than just an apparition.
The leader of the powerful demon regime, Mundus has incalculable power, both literal and political. He uses the Raptor News Network and the mysterious energy drink Virility to subjugate the human populace, while wearing a human mask to maintain the ruse.

Adding Master Pages to Scribus
Like most word processors and layout applications, Scribus has a variety of tools that allow you to design once and use repeatedly. For pages, the tool is Master Pages. Master Pages are styles or templates in which you can position repeated elements like headers and footers or logos. Their initial creation can take time, but, once you have made them, Master Pages can be stored and applied with a few clicks.
If you have used Master Pages in other applications, then you should have few difficulties using them in Scribus. However, you should know that Scribus Master Pages function differently from similarly named concepts in other applications.
For one thing, the contents of any frames on Master Pages are editable only on the Master Page itself. Instead, objects on Master Pages are always on the bottom of any stack of objects on a document page. Nor can you create an empty frame on a Master Page that produces a separate editable frame on each page to which it is applied, the way you can in OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice.
In addition, Scribus in general makes less use of dynamic fields or building blocks to help with layout. You can set page markers that will automatically update according to the page they are on (see below), but that's about it. You cannot, for example, create running headers that automatically insert the text of the nearest Heading1 paragraph style into a footer or header. Instead, you have to create separate Master Pages for each section of a document that vary only in the content of the footer or header.
These limitations make Scribus Master Pages less useful than some of their equivalents in similar applications. However, Master Pages are still worth learning, because they remain a way to reduce your workload.
Editing Master Pages
You have two ways to create a Master Page: from an existing page layout, and from scratch.
The easiest way to create a Master Page is to select Page -> Convert to Master Page from the menu. This selection opens the Convert Page to Master Page dialog window, from which you can name the new Master Page (checking the combo box to make sure you don't duplicate names, and, if you choose, to copy any objects from the Master Page that the current page uses. Should you not select this second option, than only objects on the current page become part of the new Master Page.
To create a Master Page or edit an existing one, select Edit -> Master Pages to open the Edit Master Pages dialog window. While this dialog is open, any changes you make are to a Master Page.
The Edit Master Pages dialog has four buttons across the top. Click the first button on the left, and a blank new Master Page opens for you to work on, starting with a second dialog for naming it. Click the second button, and the new Master Page opens with all the objects of the existing Master Page that you select -- a choice that saves you time when, for example, you want the left and right pages of a document to be mirror images of each other, identical in content, but different in the positioning of each piece of content.
With the third button, you can import Master Pages from another Scribus document, saving you the problem of carefully recreating them. With the fourth, you can delete the Master Pages you select from the pull-down list in the dialog.
The actual editing of Master Pages is no different from editing a normal page in your document. By selecting Manage Page Properties from the bottom of the right-click menu, you open a dialog from which you can set such layout options as the page size and orientation and the margins. Margins are defined as Inner and Outer rather than Left and Right because what matters is not so much the position of a page but the space along the inside of a bound book, which may require extra space for the glued or sown boundary. Typography experts can also choose preset-layouts, classic proportions for a page such as the Golden Mean in order to set the margins automatically.
If you want to create a header, you begin by creating a text frame. Once the frame is positioned to your liking, right-click the frame and select Edit Text to open the Story Editor. Add what text you want in the header, such as the chapter title or your name, using the Insert -> Character sub-menu to add a page number or the number of pages field. Align the text as you want, then select File -> Update Text Frame and Exit to import the contents of the Story Editor to the Master Page's text frame.
To further edit the header, select Properties from the right-click menu. When you are finished editing, close the Edit Master Pages Dialog, and you return automatically to the document page that you were last working on.
In the case of page numbers, you can edit further by changing the numbering style according to section in File -> Document Setup -> Sections. This feature is useful when, for example, you have an introduction numbered in lower case Roman numerals and the rest of the document in Arabic numerals.
Applying Master Pages
Scribus includes two tools for applying Master Pages. The first is Page -> Apply Master Page. When the dialog window opens, you have the choice of selecting a specific master page and applying it to the current page, even, odd, or all pages, and to a range of pages within that selection.
Alternatively, you may prefer to select Windows -> Arrange Pages. This dialog is really a map of the entire document. From it, you can select a page, then the master page to assign to it, or drag the page to the trash can. In addition, you can select the document template, and select the Master Page to use for the first page -- a useful feature, given that the first page of a document may have objects like a drop capital that others lack, and a much wide top margin than the other pages.
Saving as a Template
Designing has a fascination all its own, but you don't always have the time or the inclination to recreate standard types of documents over and over, especially on a longer document. You can save yourself untold time if, each time you create a document with different Master Page styles, you finish by selecting File -> Save as Template.
That way, after you design a few documents, you will have templates for your most common document types, and almost never need to worry about Master Pages again. At the very least, you may be able to import a Master Page from another document to repurpose it.
Learn your way around Master Pages, and you will never regret the effort. The only feature that might save you more time is Scribus' implementation of styles.

Good software
I tested myself and Scribus is a program very good for publication.
First it's a bit difficult but if you invest time if you have good results.
Your article brings the reader a utility program.
However you can do a more complete presentation on how to use.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

text: Financial Aid FAQs Can I afford to come to Alice Lloyd College? Yes, if you live in the 108-county service area, you automatically qualify for Alice Lloyd College's tuition guarantee; however, you will be required to meet general admissions criteria. How can you guarantee my tuition? Alice Lloyd College operates a mandatory Student Work Program where students work in various jobs around campus to offset the operating expenses of the College (keeping costs low) and allowing students to help "pay their own way." Various student aid grants such as Pell, KTG, KEES, etc., which students apply for through their FAFSAs, are applied directly to student accounts. Numerous privately-funded and designated endowed scholarships are also applied directly toward the cost of education; and the Alice Lloyd College grant, which is derived from a nationwide donor base, guarantees that the remaining balance is covered. Am I required to complete my FAFSA in order to receive grants/scholarships? Yes, every student is required to complete their FAFSA in order to receive financial aid at Alice Lloyd. What grants/scholarships do I qualify for to help cover my expenses at Alice Lloyd College? Each individual student will qualify for grants/scholarships based upon their Expected Family Contribution. The Expected Family Contribution is reported to the school by the U. S. Federal Government through your FAFSA. Contact the Financial Aid Office to discuss what grants/scholarships you qualify for. Does Alice Lloyd College offer scholarships? Yes, most students benefit from scholarships made possible by alumni and friends who support Alice Lloyd College. Students who receive scholarships will be asked to write thank-you letters to their benefactors. Can I use my Kentucky KEES scholarship money for books and fees? KEES monies are applied toward the cost of tuition first. If your tuition is covered by other federal and state grants/scholarships, the remaining balance can then be applied toward room, board, and fees. How much money will I need per semester? The cost of education (tuition) is guaranteed for all students within the College's service area; however, depending on your financial aid package and work-study hours, you may need to help pay for your living expenses (Room and Board) and the student matriculation fee. You should contact the Financial Aid Office to find out what your responsibility will be. How much money will I need for books and fees? Depending on your course of study, books will range from $500 to $700 per semester. However, you may be able to save money by purchasing used books from the college bookstore or from students who took the same classes in a previous semester. I received an outside scholarship. Should I report it to the Financial Aid Office? Yes. If you are receiving any kind of financial aid from a church, business, etc., you must report the scholarship (example: WYMT Scholarship) to the Financial Aid Office.

Planning to Fight Insect Space Aliens
- By Eric Katz
- October 10, 2012
- Leave a comment
The United States is still fighting in Afghanistan and keeping a close eye on developments in Syria and Iran. But the Army may have a longer-term concern: fighting insect space aliens.
Undersecretary of the Army Joseph Westphal, speaking at a Government Executive leadership briefing in Washington Wednesday, said military leaders must be prepared for all kinds of contingencies. "You can't anticipate what a future president will require and what kind of situations will arise," Westphal said. "You have to be ready for any eventual situation in the future."
Then he got imaginative. "If you look at the long term future, maybe we'll be like Starship Troopers, fighting insects in space," he said. "So we'll need a whole new technology for that."
Westphal used the example to highlight the need for investments in new science and technology. Well, whatever it takes to convince Congress to avoid sequestration...

looks great, works great. For the price- it works!

I've only had this for 1.5 years and the wheels on the top rack have broken off. So now the top rack will fall out when you try to slide it out, unless you move it very carefully. And of course it is most likely to fall when it is full of dishes. I have already broken a few glasses because of this. You can order new parts to replace the wheels, but with shipping it came to $75. That's a lot of money for 2 little parts, considering the starting cost of this dishwasher to begin with. I was expecting something better from Sears.

Soap door spring broke within a year. Then the soap door release broke. These where minor annoyances that my husband repaired. Now 3 years and one month after purchase the motor has burned out. I expected more than 3 years out of a $650 dishwasher. Should have known better than trusting the sears salesman.
Brookline, MA

For the first year, this dishwasher performed beautifully. Almost exactly 365 days after we bought it, however, it started to have problems. On a cold night, the plastic (!) water valve broke, first causing no water to enter and then exploding water all over the kitchen and into the basement . Luckily, we were there when it happened and could turn off the water supply. Then, the drying stopped working. We have now had the machine for 17 months and have had 4 or 5 visits from repairmen since December. They have replaced the fan, the soap and JetDry dispenser, and the vent, as well needing adjustments to several other bits and pieces. When they encounter a new problem, they rarely have the needed part on their trucks, meaning that the part has to be ordered and they have to come back again to install it. Scheduling their visits isn't bad as long as you are at home every day. Bottom line: Don't even think about buying this dishwasher unless you are willing to also pay for the extended warranty. Our Sears salesman suggested it (as salesmen always do), but I was convinced by the seriousness of the way he offered his suggestion. It was clear that we wouldn't be the first buyers to run into problems.

Had this dishwasher about 3 months. There was a slight problem with installation, it required my husband to go to Sears and retrieve some anchor screws to hold it in place. The detergent dispensary is a little low on the inside... so putting a tall dish next to it prevents it from opening properly. Overall I really like this dishwasher. It is very quiet, and my dishes have never looked cleaner. I would buy it again.

All of the problems I have read with this POS are exactly true! I have wasted so much money from broken dishes from the rack falling apart that I should have spent the extra $800 and bought a GE. The adjustable rack on top was a great selling point...thinking that I could easily wash wine glasses...they were right about the "you can raise it up and down part," but they should have emphasized the "it comes down all by itself part"...all the way to the bottom! Yep, it's quiet....so quiet that you can't even hear your Waterford crystal crunching like it was in a Craftsman mulcher instead of a dishwasher. Completely turned off by ever shopping at SEARS...no wondering they are struggling!
