The car dealership provides free car washes to their customers and offers specialty detailing and paint protection services to aid clients in fending off the winter elements.
DOVER — We are all in the same salty, sandy, snowy situation. Do we, or do we not, wash our cars, knowing more snow may be on its way?According to several car dealerships, the cleaner the vehicle the better, but there is no need to go through a wash every day. "It is kind of like brushing your teeth," Steve Beringer at Volkswagen of Rochester said. "If you wash them once a year, they are going to be dirty and you are going to need to do a lot more scrubbing than if you clean them more often."Ann Morin at Bill Dube Ford Toyota Scion cleans her car once a week, while Michael Caton at Tri-City Chrysler Dodge Jeep and Ram said it really depends on personal preference."It also depends on the roads you are driving on," he added.Caton and Beringer could not pinpoint an exact amount of car washes needed each year, but said during the winter, it is a good idea to go more often than in the summer."In the summer, you can go weeks without rain and warm temperatures that keep your car clean," Beringer said. "In the winter, you can go days with heavy snow and that is when your car needs attention."

The car dealership provides free car washes to their customers and offers specialty detailing and paint protection services to aid clients in fending off the winter elements.
"I understand we are in New England and cannot clean off the salt 100-percent of the time, but be proactive," she said. "It will eat away at the paint and will eventually rust your car if you don't.""Maine no longer does liquid brine," Caton said of the way roads are treated, but New Hampshire still lays down the salt, which is very harmful to vehicles.Beringer said there have been huge advancements to corrosion resistance, but cleaning is still very necessary in the cold months."And it is important to go through the touch-free systems so dirt and debris are not dragged along the hood of the car scratching the paint," Caton added. "Cars used to be flipped every two to three years, but now the national average is people are holding on to cars for eight or so years. We need to keep them looking good."Labrie said she had a 1992 Toyota Camry in the shop on Tuesday afternoon that was in showroom condition, because of the work the owner did in keeping the car clean."There are so many people who don't care about their car and others who are absolutely particular and go through the wash every week," she said. "Yes, it is personal preference, but car washes help you in the long run. They really, really do."
Caton said another reason why he recommends washes is so he does not have to be the bearer of bad news all the time."The undercarriage is like what they say, out of sight, out of mind. I have vehicles come in for inspections who have holes or rust and because I am looking underneath the car, I have to be the one to tell them at that point," he said. "Yes, they have made advancements in materials and metals, but it is still steel you are riding on."Do not run out and wash your car when the snow stops falling after a storm, however. Labrie recommends waiting two to three days to allow plows to remove snow from the roads and let ice melt."Today would be a perfect day for a wash," she said on Tuesday. "The roads have dried. Yesterday, I would not have done it. Wait until everything has settled on the roads."She also added, along with Beringer and Caton, to avoid washing vehicles in freezing temperatures."Don't do it on a day that is below 30 degrees," she said. "You may not be able to open your door to get out or open your door to get back in."
With a possible storm this weekend looming over the Seacoast, people may not want to spend the money on a wash."Wash it," Beringer said. "Crud will build up if you don't. Keep it clean, keep it nice."Aside from washing, waxing is also important in keeping your vehicle in tiptop shape."It is important to note that you cannot wax a dirty car, though, and must make sure there is no salt or sand on your car before you wax," Beringer said.He recommends waxing as often as you can, claiming a quality wax to be "unbeatable."Tires should also be taken care of during the winter. Labrie says the rumors are true that tires lose a pound of pressure for every 10-degree drop in temperature."We have more customers than I can count that come in with a tire light on," she said. "It is because right now it is 40 degrees and tonight it will be 20 degrees and the tire light will be on in the morning." Labrie said that once people start driving their cars, the tires heat up, air expands and the tire light will turn off.
"We typically put a couple of extra pounds in there, above manufacturer recommendation to avoid the light," she said. Caton does the same.Labrie said if tires with low pressure are being driven on, however, the edges of the tires will be worn out and can compromise traction."Tire pressure makes a big difference and plays a factor as far as keeping tires in good shape," she said.The type of tires used in the winter can also make a difference to New Englanders' driving experiences."Snow tires are kind of like colored television," Beringer said. "Once you use them, you won't want to go another winter without them."According to Labrie, snow tires on any vehicle, whether it is an SUV or a sedan, with or without four-wheel drive, offer more traction and "most definitely" make a big difference while driving in messy conditions.Beringer said these tires are actually mandatory in Canada because of their rough winters. Each winter tire typically runs $70 and up and cars can get several seasons out of them and prolong the life of summer tires, Beringer said.
"It is the best of both worlds," he said.Oh, and one more thing, Beringer said, "You wouldn't run a marathon before warming up first, right?"He recommends starting your car and letting it idle on days below 30 degrees, and before taking off for the car wash this week.

I got the impression that I was part of the "other" group of newbies who needed to wait before jumping in. I don't have a schedule or anything so if I did jump in I wouldn't know where to go unless we're all just supposed to go to Mr. Kennedy's class. I really don't know.

I made my personal FB profile couple months ago so I could friend certain girl and see her photos (stuffed my profile with pictures of me playing on a big stage first, of course)...
I don't use it anymore, though I use my band profile, because it's so much easier to maintain and update (with pics and videos), than regular website (so you don't need an admin). And I'm always logged in, so I have no trouble browsing facebook, when I come across a link.
As for privacy - it's all about what you choose to share with the world. The relationship status for example (some people are just unbelievable - the whole world knew that my (now ex) wife's status "Was complicated" before I did).

Facebook is responsible for turning my passing interest in PRS into a loyal customer.
I respect your opinion...and understand where you are coming from.
ok...So I manage and take "risk" for a living in the financial world....I spend much of my time trying to protect people from "blowing" themselves up from a quantitative standpoint....while taking calculated "risks" to achieve certain goals and objectives....distributions of potential outcomes are much more than μ and σ. I understand the trade off of time....that's one of the reasons people come to us and pay us...We provide them that leverage. FB is extremely powerful. We recently hired a top tier consultant specializing in social media for our business. We looked at harnessing things like Facebook and twitter in the future (from a corporate compliance standpoint we aren't yet able to use it)...ultimately with my particular line of business and the way information flow is controlled I can't get comfortable enough even with some of the software overlays/portals available to record internal users activities(I want to control the information not the other way around)...but hopefully at some point I will be able to....only issue is their privacy policy isn't going in the right direction for my taste.
I will say there was also the matter of someone I consider a stalker on a personal basis with a family member of mine that may have influenced my opinion.

I'm reading these comments about controlling your privacy and have to add the caveat that it's a bit of work when the Zuckster keeps rolling out "features" that they can monetize and you're always opt-in by default. I had an account for about a year while paying my younger sisters way through college. Helped me keep up on how/what she was doing. But every single time some new functionality came out that I had no interest in I had to scour the internet finding out how to opt-out of the latest thing. It was never easy, and although they started to make improvements there when I finally decided to pull the plug, it was still too much work for what little use I had for it. I think you can still "tag" people in photos/videos without any way for them to untag themselves. I know a woman who was tagged in a raunchy soft-corish video because she slightly resembled the woman in it. She is the music director for her church... so didn't go over well and it was quite a hassle to get herself disassociated from something she was no part of. That's the nasty stuff you can't control at all because you can't prevent others from linking you to things you a) don't want to be, or b) are in no way linked to.

I think this discussion is important, but I ask responders to respect the positions and opinions of others here and resist the urge to label them. We all have our own motivations and our own safety zones.

Without facebook, how would I know what Hank just got tattooed on his butt, or what Mary is having for dinner.
With a bit of thought about what you want to share, and with who, it serves a purpose. I travel quite a bit and find it a convenient way to avoid completely losing touch with people I'd like to maintain a relationship with.
I have used FB to great effect for the last few years mainly as a music promotion tool, while also connecting and being witty and entertaining with many old friends, aquaintences and music fans which very much generates interest in my musical ventures. Much like I am an owner of my guitars, I own my FB. What I mean by that is that I NEVER put any family/kids pictures or information on FB, and I make sure I peruse the privacy/security options on a monthly basis to make sure I am ON TOP OF those settings which keeps me pretty well insulated.

Completely agree with this post. For people worried about Facebook stealing your information or personal privacy issues, well, you have the ability to control what you share. The very least you have to share is an email address. And even then you can get a ghost yahoo or gmail account for that purpose. Then you can still surf facebook, watch videos, see posts from PRS, creep on women, etc...without rendering your personal information as vulnerable.
As Justin pointed out, there are entities that you come in contact with everyday that are monitoring, storing, and mining your information for trends and strategy. Your purchase history at WalMart for the last decade is stored in a database just miles from where I live. Google is maintaining your search logs and email history. Apple and your carrier can track and log your physical movements from location to location. The erosion of privacy is nothing new and facebook is the least of worries.
There are certainly people that have abundant faith in the internet and post way too much personal information on Facebook. But even for the cautious user it's a great tool to use that requires very little risk or committment.

[QUOTE=justmund;51954]Wow, everyone is hung up about the privacy issues, I've got my settings turned up so there's no problem. The only entity that could possibly grab my personal information (which I chose to share with my friends, or a selection of my friends) is facebook themselves. They already have my information, which I willingly put on their website, so what's the big deal?
I don't put my home address on there, my credit card details, my tax file number, my drivers licence number etc, it's just a collection of my photos, thoughts and interests. Hmm... kinda like on there, but hang on, ANYONE has access to this, not just my "friends." If there's a privacy issue, then it's not facebooks fault, it's the users for posting the information in the first place, and not controlling it properly.
What could someone possible do with the information I post on facebook? They can't steal my identity, pillage my bank accounts, kill my dog etc. Where's the risk?
Who here used Google products? Gmail? You do know once you're logged into gmail, anything you search on is recorded ("collected") in their database? I'm more worried about Google data collection than I am with facebook, but having said that, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to worry about.[/QUOTE
I agree 100%. I liked the PRS FB page and ended up linking to this forum somehow from FB...i dont remember exactly how, but I'm here haha. Its as safe as anything else out there on the net if you use it wisely.

This article describes aching or other discomfort in the elbow that is not related to direct injury.
Pain - elbow
Elbow pain can be caused by a variety of problems. A common cause in adults is tendinitis , an inflammation and injury to the tendons -- soft tissues that attach muscle to bone.
People who play racquet sports are most likely to injure the tendons on the outside of the elbow. This condition is commonly called tennis elbow . Golfers are more likely to injure the tendons on the inside of the elbow.
Other common causes of elbow tendinitis are gardening, playing baseball, using a screwdriver, or overusing your wrist and arm.
Young children commonly develop "nursemaid's elbow," usually when someone is pulling on their straightened arm. The bones are stretched apart momentarily and a ligament slips in between, where it becomes trapped when the bones try to snap back into place. Children will usually quietly refuse to use the arm, but often cry out with any attempt to bend or straighten the elbow. This condition is also called an elbow subluxation (a partial dislocation ).
Other common causes of elbow pain are:
Gently try to move the elbow and increase your range of motion. If this hurts you, or you cannot move the elbow, call your doctor or nurse.
Call your doctor or nurse if:
Your doctor or nurse will examine you, and carefully check your elbow. You will be asked questions about your medical history and symptoms, such as:
Treatment depends on the cause, but may involve:

AUGUSTA, Kan. (AP) -- A southeast Kansas sheriff is hoping that fingerprints will identify a body partially hidden behind a home whose owner is in custody.
Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet tells KSNW-TV (http://bit.ly/1gIOIZs ) it's also possible the identity won't be known for weeks because the body is badly decomposed.
Officers found the body Monday in the backyard of a home southwest of Augusta after a neighbor requested a welfare check. The 54-year-old woman who owns the home was arrested on suspicion of voluntary manslaughter and other charges, and had a court appearance scheduled Wednesday.
Herzet said Tuesday the body appears to be an adult, but investigators weren't sure if it was male or female.
The sheriff says deputies have been to the home many times on domestic violence complaints.

They call it the common cold for a reason. Colds are extraordinarily common. Children average 3 to 8 colds a year and adults almost that many. I'm doctor Alan Greene and I want to give you a couple of tips about navigating the cold and flu aisle at the drug store.
Many of the offerings that are there will offer relief in several different ways. They may have a decongestant in there to try to reduce nasal congestion. An antihistamine that may help a bit with sleep or may also help with some congestion. They may have a cough suppressant in there to make you cough less. An expectorant to make your cough more productive, so you can cough things out easier and may have something to bring down a temperature or relieve aches and pains, like acetaminophen, or ibuprofen.
But if you pick-up more than one of these, it's pretty common for people to double-up on a specific ingredient. So, if you're using more than one, look at the ingredient list. You don't want to see the same thing on both. For instance, if you have the decongestant pseudoephedrine on two different lists, the double-dose is not good for you and doesn't add any extra help. But beyond that, you don't even want to find the same action in two different multisymptom things. So if you have, taking a decongestant, you don't want a decongestant in the other one, whatever kind of decongestant it is.
And as reminder for kids under 6, decongestants, antihistamines, and cough suppressants have not been shown to help them any better than placebo and do have some side-effects. So, I don't recommend them at all for kids under 6.

I was going to post this on ATS, but they drink the hardcore coolaid over there a bit much for a possibly reasonable explaination.
Some buddies of mine stumbled on this, and we've been trying to figure it out for a while now. So, onto those who probably know more than we do.
what is this?
Coordinates for easy copypasta into google earth and other tools: 38.594862 74.301937
i can tell you the following from what ive gone and looked at: the entire line is only .4 km or so in length. its at a heading of 34.64 degrees and each hole is about 40-45 feet in diameter. the distance from the eastern-most most hole to the tajikistan border is .75km. its at an entry to a valley and its in what was probably a long time ago, a riverbed (that isn't water, its snow). Holes have been there since at least 2004, hasn't been updated since 2007.
they look more like craters than anything to me. it is in a relatively uninhabited area, nearest cities are in tajikistan, 9 and 12 km away. nearest village in china is 45km away.
given all of that, it could be from the use of explosives, either by the military (training bombing run by chineese pilots?) or by people shooting crap across the border (mortars, etc?).
i would rule out a blasting for a railroad, given there aren't a series of them there to continue with. i would also rule out blasting for mining as there isn't any mining gear nearby unless they're very old and also depleted, but it also doesn't look like the area is worn out from being dug up or drained of oil, there aren't any pipes around. check out the distance between each hole, its fairly consistent until you get to the most eastern one.
I at first thought about them being border sensors. But then the pattern they are in doesn't make sense. they're pointed at/away from the border, not along it. if anything, they seem like they're purposefully at an entrance to the valley. The other possibility is exhaust vents for something underground, but i looked around some and couldn't see any of the tell tale signs of a concealed bunker in any of the mountains that would indicate that.
I have been said to have depth perception issues at times, i can't really tell if those are depressions or mounds. From all that i can see they're depressions, but the mind can F*** with you at times. Structures would imply they are mounds.
Can any of you identify them?

Not true. To date, only a few states still have sodomy laws in place. In regards to homosexuality, Lawrence v. Texas took care of that.
Edit: Actually, Lawrence v. Texas took care of ALL sodomy laws to date, which makes its legality status moot. Protecting the sexual rights and privacy of adults in the bedroom.
I must live in one of those states then because I hear on the news of people being charged with sodomy all the time. Rapists, child molesters, deviants busted in public parks/restrooms and incest cases.

Volcano Vehicle System Integrator (VSI)
VSI is a multi-lingual Model Driven Development environment that supports the creation, debug, verification, and validation of embedded software in distributed systems across electronic control units, software compositions & components, and runnables.
This virtual system integration (VSI) environment supports both conceptual system development used early in the design cycle, as well as complete distributed system development. Optional advanced capabilities allow introduction of timing analysis, error reporting, and other protocols into native functional models. VSI supports co-simulation with Simulink, xtUML, VHDL-AMS, LabVIEW, and "C" models.
VSI provides a consistent execution environment at the virtual platform level and scales right through to implementation on development and target hardware.
VSI Product Features and Benefits
- Designed specifically for vehicular embedded system analysis
- Serves the needs to automotive OEMs and suppliers
- Reduces need for physical prototypes and testbenches
- Enables early validation of software functionality before actual hardware is available - moves error discovery earlier into design process
- Multi-lingual: uses industry-standard languages such as C & C++
- Supports AUTOSAR "virtual functional bus simulation" plus RTOS execution at component and runnable levels
- Delivers incisive views at the component, RTE behavioral and implementation levels
- Provides easy-to-use analysis tools for embedded systems of any scale
Volcano Vehicle System Integrator (VSI) creates a virtual (simulated) version of AUTOSAR-based system architecture, incorporating all the interconnected software components, busses, and interfaces. This environment accepts the actual code the ECUs will run. VSI works with AUTOSAR front-end tools in an existing design flow.
Functional Validation Without Hardware
- VSI can be configured to validate the functional equivalent of an end-product operational environment. The application under development sees the same signals, paths, and responses it will encounter in the final hardware design.
- VSI can be brought into the flow at the conceptual stage, so each step of code design builds on a foundation of well-tested content
- VSI makes it easy to respond to hardware or software design changes
Underlying MDD Technology Ensures Code Ready to Become Application
- Improves flexibility for product modification, upgrade and update. The MDD approach allows changes to be made and verified at all levels of abstraction.
- Reduces prototype testing cost and schedule time by capturing errors early in the design process

Lactic acid is mainly produced in muscle cells and red blood cells. It forms when the body breaks down carbohydrates to use for energy during times of low oxygen levels. Times when your body's oxygen level might drop include:
A test can be done to measure the amount of lactic acid in the blood.
Lactate test
A blood sample is needed. Most of the time blood is drawn from a vein located on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Do not exercise for several hours before the test. Exercise can cause a temporary increase in lactic acid levels.
You may feel slight pain or a sting when the needle is inserted. You may also feel some throbbing at the site after the blood is drawn.
This test is usually done to diagnose lactic acidosis .
4.5 to 19.8 mg/dL (0.5-2.2 mmol/L)
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter; mmol/L = millimoles per liter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results mean that body tissues are not getting enough oxygen.
Conditions that can increase lactic acid levels include:
Clenching the fist or having the elastic band in place for a long time while having blood drawn can result in a false increase in lactic acid level.

This tutorial introduces you to rules, beginning with the basics of creating general rules in Outlook 2013
The following is a list of specific rules that ITServices has determined as particularly useful for the Exchange system, particularly sorting Meeting related emails.
A rule can help you manage the increased email in your Inbox. Because email is central to the functionality of Outlook Calendar, rules will help you manage the increased volume of email you may be receiving.
A rule is an action that Outlook takes automatically on an arriving or sent message that meets the conditions that you specify in the rule. You can choose many conditions and actions by using the Rules Wizard. Using rules can help you stay organized and up-to-date.
Rules fall into one of two categories — organization and notification. Rules do not operate on messages that have been read, only on those that are unread.
The Rules Wizard includes templates for the most commonly used rules:
Sometimes, you may wish to create a rule to move messages from someone to a specific folder.
When rules are applied, delivery receipts, read receipts, Automatic Replies, meeting requests, task requests and documents are acted upon as if they are messages. For example, a rule that moves items with the word "meeting" in the subject to a specific folder, also moves all delivery receipts, Automatic Reply, task request or meeting request that contains the word "meeting" in the subject
Be aware the following limitations when you create rules that affect these kinds of items:

From the earliest successful experiments involving 'writing with light', (the actual meaning of the term 'photography'), and capturing on paper, images that wouldn't fade away within minutes, the race was on to bring these exciting new developments to the public on a commercial basis. The camera had arrived.
The earliest cameras were large, cumbersome, temperamental and produced images that nowadays would result in the camera owner marching back to the shop and demanding a refund. At that time, however, the black and white, grainy results astounded the public and gave birth to a whole new industry: commercial photography.
Improvements in camera technology continued at a moderate pace at first. Advances in lens design enabled sharper images, and mechanical improvements enabled faster shutter speeds and more reliable operation. Meanwhile, advances in film manufacture and processing technology resulted in the long-awaited dream of producing images in colour.
By the end of the first half of the twentieth century, cameras were small enough and affordable enough to be considered a 'must have' item for every family. At the other end of the scale, precision engineered professional cameras were now capable of image quality that to this day hasn't been bettered. Functionality, however, was about to receive a major boost.
As the latter half of the century got underway, improvements from a new source arrived: micro-electronics. Electronic components were being produced that were not only more efficient but hundreds of times smaller. These components could easily be incorporated into the design of cameras and many new functions became available. These included: electronic flash, light metering, auto-focus and auto-exposure.
With the introduction of micro-electronics, it was only a matter of time until cameras were able to capture images digitally on an electronic light-sensor. Photographic film was no longer a necessity, and neither was waiting around for days wondering how the images would turn out after being developed and processed by a photo lab. With digital cameras, we can now pick and choose pictures worth keeping, transfer them to any computer and, with Internet access, send multiple copies of them to others around the world in a matter of minutes – even faster if our camera is incorporated into a smartphone. What's even more attractive is that we can take as many pictures as we like without worrying about the costs of film and processing. For most people nowadays, the only real expense associated with digital photography is the cost of the camera itself.
As for the future, we can only guess at the advances digital technology will make but, given the current rate of progress, we can look forward to many more exciting new camera features coming our way.

That's so fun, Sheri! I was intrigued by the mention of Jews from Bavaria, and someone else - on Twitter, I think - also had wished they had spent a bit of time talking about that.
I think most Americans hear "Baveria" and think of the typical German stereotypes - mountains, yodeling, or women in dirndls (for the uninitiated, that is the traditional "St. Pauli girl" or "Swiss Miss" type of dress that laces up in front.
I am always fascinated when another group manages to build a life within a very different cultural group. I think about the challenges they face.
I'll bet this topic deserves could an entire book or article all to itself! - March 26, 2012 at 8:52 AM

I've seen a lot of really cool automotive electrical and electronics technology that hasn't yet reached the market, not because the technology won't work but because automakers have not yet articulated a sufficient business case.
What's the problem? I asked Ralf Hug specifically about the business case for telematics, where he has a lot of experience on both the OEM and supplier side. He asks himself the same question and then suggests one possible answer.
"OEMs can sell a telematics control unit, either as a standard feature or an option, and top of that is the revenue from selling content and services," Hug says. "The ultimate objective, of course, is to use telematics as a unique selling proposition and achieve more vehicle sales – or halt declining sales." He cites Ford as a good example of that, since Ford claims increased sales due to SYNC.
Then there is the ability to retrieve diagnostics data, which should interest managers responsible for warranty repairs and overall vehicle quality and production. And consider the potential for updating electronic control units remotely in much the same way the Microsoft updates Windows.
Building better relationships
"Building better relationships with car owners through vehicle health reports and dealer integration not only increases the likelihood of maintaining customer loyalty but also improves parts and service revenues and profitability of the OEM and dealership and keeps customers loyal within the OEM dealer network," says Hug.
The problem, as he sees it, is that there are many "businesses" within a car company, each with its own priorities if not its own P&L. "Sometimes all of the internal businesses' objectives come into alignment, but more often there are conflicts among them," he says. "When I worked for a luxury car maker I had to re-open the business case for telematics about every three months because someone thought the 'telematics' line item could be deleted to lower the cost of the vehicle. My team and I had to deal with each objection by explaining the value that telematics creates despite having a program in place for many years."
What's needed, Hug suggests, is someone high enough up in the organization to be able to sort through conflicting priorities. "Someone has to have the vision and the clout to negotiate the rather complex ecosystem and make something happen at a senior management level and be able to work across various functions within a car company." But telematics has not gained sufficient mindshare at a high enough level because the people running car companies today are, for the most part, car people who think a lot more about mechanics than they do about electronics.
"A change in organizational structure is needed to overcome these barriers for a holistic business case," Hug says. And electrical/electronics engineering is likely to become a more viable career path.

Freezers From Sears a Great Cost Effective Food Saver
A home freezer is a great choice for any family interested in saving money on their grocery bill by buying in bulk when prices are at their lowest. With the growing trend in home gardening, these appliances are often used to preserve fresh vegetables for use later in the year, as well. If used effectively, a freezer can soon pay for itself.
Upright freezers can be organized much like a standard refrigerator. With a variety of shelves, bins, and drawers, frozen items are easily seen and retrieved when needed. As an added benefit, these freezers provide a more traditional appearance than their box freezer counterparts and look right at home in any kitchen.
For homes that have plenty of space for a larger model, Whirlpool Upright Freezers offer a tremendous amount of space and additional organizational features. Some models feature adjustable shelves and pull-out bins in the main portion of the freezer in addition to roomy compartments in the door.
Of course, chest freezers also come from many different manufacturers including Kenmore. The variety of freezers would fit perfectly in any pantry, utility room, or garage. Some models feature sturdy wheels to make moving an easy task. Balanced-hinge design allows the lid to stay open as the contents are examined. With a flush back, some models can be placed close to a wall to conserve even more space.
While most freezers come in traditional white, Kenmore does make black freezers. Some models offer a stylish exterior, 8.8 cubic feet of storage space, and all the wonderful features that the other Kenmore freezers include.

Every custom home responds to a client's unique program; that's what makes it custom. But Sam's Creek began with an unusual combination of requirements. Its owners, the parents of two young children, also are a classic New York power couple. He's in finance; she runs a 60-person PR agency. "She's really a multitasker," says architect Paul Masi. "They have parties of 20 children and entertain 30 adults at the same time, some of whom are clients." To help manage their overlapping family and professional lives, Masi and his partner Harry Bates designed the new house as a grouping of connected pavilions, each serving a specific set of functions.
"They're almost like separate buildings," says Masi of the open-ended "boxes" that make up the building. "There's a connection between them, but they're allowed to be separate." Oriented toward the north and south—and screening out neighboring houses at the east and west—the interlocking volumes open onto sheltered courtyards and hedge-bordered lawns. Despite a relatively tight neighborhood location, Masi says, "you're really just looking out into the landscape."
A high, glass-walled living and dining pavilion stands at the center of the composition, linking the kitchen and family room to the east, and family bedrooms to the west. A transparent gateway between the formal entrance and the main patio, the central pavilion accommodates large gatherings that flow comfortably onto the main patio and into the kitchen without disturbing the house's more private zones. A pair of two-bedroom guest quarters, at opposite ends of the house, mirror each other's compact floor plan. The pool house, conceived as a detached "fragment" of the main house, serves as a fifth guest suite. "There's definitely an efficiency we were trying to achieve, keeping the house as small as possible with this number of bedrooms," Masi says.
An abbreviated palette of rich materials unifies the loose-jointed floor plan. Mahogany exterior siding wraps into the house, where it covers walls, floors, and ceilings. Travertine pavers form an unbroken plane from the entrance walk, across the living room floor, and into the backyard hardscape. "To keep the number of materials down, we even carved the stone to make grills in the floor," says Masi, referring to the HVAC. His firm also designed the house's interiors. The resulting integration of architecture and furnishings reflects the architects' goal of "letting it be about the geometry rather than about the materials."
Where a material moves to the foreground, it does so with authority. The fireplace that divides the living and dining room, a steel-framed structure clad in slatted bronze plates, asserts a strongly sculptural presence. Builder Stephen Breitenbach points out that the assembly also conceals mechanical equipment, a coat closet, and a structural moment frame that provides rigidity to the entire pavilion. Rather than gas jets, the hearth holds a troughlike alcohol burner set in a bed of brass BBs. "That's a flueless fireplace," Breitenbach says. The hood above leads to a skylight, he explains, so instead of smoke wafting up, "during the daytime, light comes down that shaft over the fireplace."
The kitchen works a similar trick, with a rooftop monitor that pours light into a recessed counter area lined with travertine. The back wall of the recess borrows its lapped pattern from the building's exterior, where the same detail—also in travertine—accents the window walls. "We had special stainless steel wire clips fabricated for that," Breitenbach says. Elsewhere, the room draws from the house's core palette, with hinged mahogany panels concealing the refrigerator, storage cabinets, and a wood-burning brick pizza oven. The consistency of materials "gives the kitchen the sense of being another entertaining space," Masi says.
But every party ends eventually, so the house reserves a few visual treats for its owners alone. The master bedroom centers on a built-in bed whose high headboard repeats the fireplace's cladding pattern, but in leather rather than bronze. The master bath's focal point is a vessel tub, bracketed by the room's etched glass shower and toilet enclosures and backed by a panel of narrow ceramic tiles. The custom light fixture above, with its dangling curtain of bead chain, echoes the tiles' rainlike pattern. "It has the same effect as water," Masi says.
