PA Egg Farm Investigation - KreiderCruelty.com
Eggs. Whether scrabled or poached, sliced in a salad or served sunny-side up, eggs are often considered a healthy food choice. It's no surprise that eggs are perceived this way, as lobby groups for the egg industry spend millions of dollars every year trying to sell consumers on "the incredible, edible egg." But what the industry doesn't show consumers is where the eggs come from - dark, cramped, feces-filled rows of cages stuffed with egg-laying chickens that will never see the sun, never feel the grass, and who will never have more personal space than half of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper. What's worse, eggs in these conditions are often smeared in feces, sit for hours on dirty collection trays, and are eaten or handled by rodents before being washed and sent on to you, the consumer.
In order to expose the realities of modern egg production for consumers in the greater Philadelphia region, local animal rights group Hugs for Puppies conducted an undercover investigation at Kreider Farms of Lancaster, PA. Kreider produces tens of millions of eggs every year and supplies them to McDonalds, Genaurdi's, and other supermarkets and restaurants in the Philadelphia area. An undercover investigation conducted at three of their five egg production facilities revealed grossly inhumane and unsanitary conditions (please see the video clips and photos for more detail). Unfortunately, the conditions at Kreider are neither illegal nor uncommon. The "battery cage" system used at Kreider - which has been banned in the European Union - is the egg industry's standard way of producing eggs.
We are asking that you check out the video clips, photo stills, and information about Kreider Farms and modern egg production systems found on this website. For those interested in choosing to cut cruelty from their menus, we've provided an "action page" where you can draft a letter to the Better Business Bureau, as well as find out more information on making your diet egg-free. For more information on Kreider Farms, modern egg production, or Hugs for Puppies, check out the links above or email us at: email@example.com

I judge JH and SH an keep up with rule changes and have not seen or heard of this rule change. I don't believe this is a rule change. I would have gotten Hunt Test Committee involve as soon as I heard the this. Because they can call AKC Rep for their area anytime Monday-Sunday.
Every one seems to forget it is ultimately up to the club, it's members and most directly the Hunt Committee to ensure that the judges comply with the AKC rules and safety.
From the regulations and Guidelines for AKC Hunting Tests for Retrievers;
Section 14. Hunting Test Committee. A club that has been granted permission by The American Kennel Club to hold a licensed or member Hunting Test shall appoint a Hunting Test Committee which will have com- plete responsibility for the planning and conducting of the event. The Committee shall be comprised of at least five members of the club and may include the Hunting Test Secretary, but the Hunting Test Secretary shall not be designated as the Hunting Test Committee Chairman. A majority of the Hunting Test Committee must be pres- ent during an AKC-licensed or member club Hunting Test. In the event of absence of Hunting Test Committee Members, the Chairman or an officiating officer shall appoint sufficient Committee Members in order to insure compliance with this Section.
The Hunting Test Committee and Hunting Test Secretary shall be held responsible for compliance with all of the applicable Rules and Regulations for Hunting Tests, except those coming under the sole jurisdiction of the Judges, and must provide themselves with copies of the latest editions of these books.

Two separate fires keep firefighters busy Saturday night
SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. - Two separate fires across the Spokane region kept firefighters busy Saturday night.
Just after 4:00, a house fire broke out near Vista and Cataldo in Spokane Valley. The fire started in either the garage or the attic. Firefighters are still working to determine the cause.
Four people were inside the home when the fire started, but they all got out safely. The Red Cross is assisting with those displaced.
Another fire broke out at the West Wynn motel in west Spokane at 5:00. A dryer fire sparked in the basement, sending smoke into the upper floors of the motel. No major damage was reported.
The fire department said those staying in the motel would be able to return later that evening.

We can't help but want to pack up our picnic basket on a sunny day and head to the nearest field when we see our ecru Dandelion Note featuring a delightful pop of yellow. With a sustainable bottle of wine and locally made Chevre, of course.
When you purchase a Bamboo Tornado pen, Retro 1951 donates to the Arbor Day Foundation to help rescue 250 square feet of rain forest and the habitat it protects. We think the pandas would approve.

I try to talk to everybody the way I would like to be talked to, but I must admit that at times I let other people influence what I say. That is a failure of mine. I have never tried to blend in. My parents taught me that whether with one of extreme wealth or of meager possessions, to treat them as a respected person.
Wow, a crown vic! You ARE rich! Well, at least the four of us are driving American made, my wife is in a '96 windstar. I like my F150 and love the old bronco, but pretty well hate the windstar (engine in sideways, no frame, real pain to do even routine maintenance).

Real World Economics
Current fiscal crisis isnt real deal
Decades from now, when historians look back at the fiscal cliff crisis of 2012, they are likely to find it the greatest ado about nothing since the turmoil in Andrew Jacksons administration because Mrs. John C. Calhoun snubbed the wife of his war secretary. Remember that?
The underlying issues are important, to be sure. But the substantive differences between the two sides are not all that great, even while the level of rhetoric and political posturing is extreme.
Once again, the good sense of 80 percent of the citizenry clustered around the political center is being overwhelmed by elected officials cowed by the 10 percent on their respective wings.
Start with the basic issue of marginal personal income tax rates. Moving the top rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent is not likely to have discernible effects on growth or employment. The rate has been that high or higher for 64 of the past 80 years. It was 90 percent from 1951 through 1963 and remained at 70 percent or more for the rest of the 1960s. This was the period of greatest growth of median incomes and productivity in this eight-decade span.
They remained above 50 percent for most of the Reagan era before dropping to 28 percent in 1988. Predictably, annual deficits grew sharply until presidents George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton had the guts to ask for legislation to recoup about half of the cuts. Despite wild rhetoric about how this was going to sink the economy, the rest of the 1990s saw good growth.
While we still had a structural deficit (i.e. one over the long run if the economy were not booming), we did manage four years of slight budget surpluses, the first since LBJs belated tax boost had last balanced the budget in fiscal year 1969.
We threw that away with the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, which needed a statutory end date of 2010 to hide the fact that they would make the deficit explode over the longer run. These were supposed to spur economic activity. Instead, we had the slowest economic growth of any decade since the Great Depression, even if taken only through the good times that ended in 2007.
Now you might say that there were many other factors that drove 1990s growth, including a one-time technology boom and the Alan Greenspan-led Federal Reserve beginning to goose the monetary throttle as the decade ended. Oil prices also were low relative to longer-run trends.
Similarly, after 2001, the economy had severe exogenous shocks from the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent slump in air travel. We had high oil prices from ongoing turmoil in the Persian Gulf. And we have had five years of financial-sector crises. Admittedly, higher tax rates did not cause the good growth of the 1990s and lower ones were not responsible for the bust in this century. Other factors were more important.
But that is precisely the point. No economist would argue that tax rates and the structure of taxes have no effect on economic growth. But it similarly is hard to find a reputable one who argues that any of the sundry income tax rate changes since 1981 made much difference on overall growth. Other factors were more important, for good and for ill, for the past
three decades and will be for the next three.
For an excellent exposition of this and other tax issues, see Taxes in America: What Everyone Needs to Know, by Leonard Burman and Joel Slemrod. Slemrod, regarded by many as the nations premier tax economist, served as a staff member on Reagans Council of Economic Advisors and is now at the University of Michigan.
Burman worked on taxes at the Treasury in the 1980s, and was the tax expert at the Congressional Budget Office in the 1990s before serving as the deputy assistant secretary of the treasury for tax analysis for two years. Bruce Bartletts new The Benefit and the Burden: Tax Reform, why we need it and what it will take, also is excellent.
If the president now demanded the top rate be pushed back up to 91 percent, or even the 50 percent that prevailed for most of the Reagan years, arguing about effects on growth would have more relevance. But he has not. And the business and household confidence needed for long- term economic growth depends much more on solving our budget quandary than on the exact level of the top rate.
Equally silly is the presidents insistence that any increase be limited to couples earning more than $250,000 per year. Worse, during the campaign he was wont to assert that the middle class really needed tax cuts. This was irresponsible demagogy.
Yes, since tax rates were last changed, nearly all the growth in real income has gone to the high- income group. But the average fraction of income paid as federal individual income taxes at all household income levels is lower now than at nearly any time since 1970.
For a median-income household of four, the fraction is half as large as it was in 1981. Yes, many people feel stretched right now. Yes, many people have seen stagnant incomes. But the fact remains that the burden of the federal individual income tax is lower than in the past.
All this would be less inane if the overall federal tax burden were high. But the fact is that as a percentage of gross domestic product, total federal tax revenues are at their lowest levels in 60 years. And as long as they stay this low we are never going to put our fiscal house in order.
Equally unfortunate is much of the rhetoric about relatively modest changes in Social Security and Medicare.
Yes, moving from the consumer price index currently used to a chained index means that Social Security recipients gradually will see smaller payments over time compared with the current system. Yes, further raising the normal retirement age for Social Security or the eligibility age for Medicare will hit poorer people harder than rich people, since the poor are less likely to have good jobs into their late 60s.
Yes, the Medicare age increase would not save much money and savings to the program would be more than outweighed by cost increases elsewhere. And yes, there are better alternatives to achieve the same goals.
However, the fact remains that as now structured, these programs are not sustainable. If the measures advanced so far are unacceptable, then someone has to put these better alternatives on the table. The political reasons both sides are reluctant to do so are obvious, but the common good requires that someone break the deadlock.
Furthermore, remember that any effort to shield those older than 60 from all pain means imposing even more eventual pain on those younger than 40. The baby boomers already are giving their own children and grandchildren one of the rawest deals in U.S. history, and I dont understand why so many of us are willing to support measures that will make it even rawer.

Believe it or not, the tree bark in this photo contains a revolutionary anti-cancer drug. For almost a decade after the drug was discovered, the trees, called Pacific yews, were stripped of their bark so chemists could extract the drug for cancer patients. Stripping the bark harmed the trees. This situation posed an ethical problem.
What Is Ethics?
Ethics refers to deciding what's right and what's wrong. Making ethical decisions involves weighing right and wrong in order to make the best choice. The ethical problem of the Pacific yew has both right and wrong aspects. It's right to save lives with the cancer drug that comes from the tree bark, but it's wrong to endanger the tree and risk its extinction.
Q: What do you think is the most ethical decision about the Pacific yew? Should the bark be used to make the drug and possibly save human lives? Or should this be prohibited in order to protect the tree from possible extinction?
A: This is tough ethical dilemma, and there is no right or wrong answer. Ethical dilemmas such as this often spur scientists to come up with new solutions to problems. That's what happened in the case of the Pacific yew. Scientists tackled and solved the problem of determining the chemical structure of the anti-cancer drug so it could be synthesized in labs. This is a win-win solution to the problem. The synthetic drug is now available to save lives, and the trees are no longer endangered by being stripped of their bark.
Ethical Rules in Science
Ethics is an important consideration in science. Scientific investigations must be guided by what is right and what is wrong. That's where ethical rules come in. They help ensure that science is done safely and that scientific knowledge is reliable. Here are some of the ethical rules that scientists must follow:
- Scientific research must be reported honestly. It is wrong and misleading to make up or change research results.
- Scientific researchers must try to see things as they really are. They should avoid being biased by the results they expect or hope to get.
- Researchers must be careful. They should do whatever they can to avoid errors in their data.
- Researchers must inform coworkers and members of the community about any risks of their research. They should do the research only if they have the consent of these groups.
- Researchers studying living animals must treat them humanely. They should provide for their needs and take pains to avoid harming them.
- Researchers studying human subjects must tell their subjects that they have the right to refuse to participate in the research. Human subjects also must be fully informed about their role in the research, including any potential risks. You can read about a terrible violation of this ethical rule in the Figure below.
From the 1930s to 1970s, medical researchers (including the one pictured here) studied the progression of a serious disease in hundreds of poor men in Alabama. They told the men they were simply receiving free medical care. They never told the men that they had the disease, nor were the men treated for the disease when a cure was discovered in the 1940s. Instead, the study continued for another 25 years. It came to an end only when a whistleblower made it a front-page story around the nation.
Science and Everyday Ethical Decisions
Sometimes, science can help people make ethical decisions in their own lives. For example, scientific evidence shows that certain human actions—such as driving cars that burn gasoline—are contributing to changes in Earth's climate. This, in turn, is causing more severe weather and the extinction of many species. A number of ethical decisions might be influenced by this scientific knowledge.
Q: For example, should people avoid driving cars to work or school because it contributes to climate change and the serious problems associated with it? What if driving is the only way to get there? Can you think of an ethical solution?
A: This example shows that ethical decisions may not be all or nothing. For example, rather than driving alone, people might carpool with others. This would reduce their impact on climate change. They could also try to reduce their impact in other ways. For example, they might turn down their thermostat in cold weather so their furnace burns less fuel.
- Ethics refers to deciding what's right and what's wrong.
- Scientific investigations must be guided by ethical rules. The rules help ensure that science is done safely and that scientific knowledge is reliable.
- Sometimes science can help people make ethical decisions in their own lives, but other factors usually must be considered as well.
- What is ethics?
- List two ethical rules in science.
- Think of a personal decision a young person might have to make. Identify the "rights" and "wrongs" of possible choices, and explain which choice you think is more ethical.

Meatpacking District
Despite its name, the Meatpacking District is not exclusively home to butchers and meat packers.
The Meatpacking District has undergone many changes throughout the past few decades. While the area was largely undesirable throughout the 1980s, the Meatpacking District began transforming in the late 1990s, eventually culminating in the neighborhood's status today as one of the trendiest in Manhattan. It is a significant hub for the fashion industry, featuring several top-name boutiques.

Microsoft (MSFT) CEO Satya Nadella today took the stage at an event in New York City focusing on the company's Surface tablet computer.
"We want products and technologies that enable people to dream, and get stuff done!" Nadella said. "To get more out of every moment of their life. That's the mission we're on."
"The question that needs to be asked and answered is, Why hardware? We are clearly not interested in building toasters and refrigerators. We are interested in building experiences […] These mobile-first productivity experiences."
"We are not interested in competing with our OEMs when it comes to new hardware. We are interested in sparking new categories."
"Can we design and build a device that takes the best of tablet and laptop and enables any individual to be abel to read, and to be able to create and write?"
Saying Microsoft was ready to introduce "a major step forward," he invited the Surface godfather, Panos Panay, to the stage.
Panay rolls a video, snippets of various individuals and groups using surface in different contexts. (Very much reminiscent of similar videos shown in past by Apple (AAPL) of the iPad uses.)
Panay said the wave of tablet takeovers predicted by media had failed, because actually there are still a lot of plain old laptops being used in the audience. "96% of you with iPads in your bags right now are also using laptops."
He notes the presence of a lot of Apple MacBooksin the audience, to much laughter.
Panay says tablets were made for lean-back styles of activity, such as enjoying a movie or an e-book, while PCs were made to get stuff done. "Turns out, 96% of the time you buy new things," when shoppers go looking for computer devices. "Today, we're going to focus on taking that conflict away. We have to remove that."
To take the conflict away, Panay introduces "Surface Pro 3," and cuts to a video touting various features — 45% louder sound, 9.1 mm thick, USB 3.0 connections.
"This is the tablet that can replace your laptop," says Panay.
The device is thinner than the existing Surface 2, but actually has a larger screen at 12 inches on the diagonal, versus the old 10.6-inch screen.
It runs the Intel (INTC) "Core i7" chip — big applause for that — and without needing a fan to cool the system, says Panay. "It's fanless!," he trumpets. Panay said the device is the world's thinnest Core-based device.
Microsoft shares are currently down 8 cents at $39.67.
Adobe (ADBE) is on stage demonstrating using Photoshop Creative Cloud, optimized for touch-based gestures, and pen input.
The Surface Pro 3 will go on sale for pre-order starting tomorrow, May 21st, starting at a suggested retail price of $799, Microsoft said. It will feature different configurations with different Intel chip models, from the "Core i3" through the "i5" on up to the i7.

Over the past few years, the growth in health-care costs has quietly been slowing down. Naturally, we'd like to make this trend last. That means we'll need to avoid betting big on just one strategy.
Last week, the Congressional Budget Office reported that many Medicare pilot projects that were designed to reduce costs actually haven't done so. But the CBO suggested there may be promise in a "bundled-payment" approach, under which insurers pay a single comprehensive fee for treating a particular disease, rather than many fees for specific doctor visits and therapies. The health-care law includes provisions to expand bundled payments, and they should be aggressively adopted.
This is exactly how health-care reform should work: We try various approaches to generate better value from health care, many of which don't pan out, and pursue the ones that seem to be working.
Another initiative, one that's typically promoted by conservatives, is increased price transparency. For consumers to be able to play their role in keeping costs down, they need to know what those costs are.

- Description
This is a classic outcrop in Appalachian stratigraphy. Overall, it shows the transition from the passive margin sedimentation (limestone) of the Cambrian and early Ordovician Sauk and Tippecanoe epeiric seas into the increasing clastic (sand and mud) influence of active margin sedimentation associated with the onset of the Taconian Orogeny (to the east) in the late Ordovician. This particular gigapan shows only the lowest part of the sequence, the New Market limestone (thick bedded) and the contact with the base of the Lincolnshire limestone (thin bedded) at right (downhill; up section; younger strata).
Further downhill (up section; younger strata); the strata get darker and muddier, and bentonite layers show evidence of nearby volcanic eruptions. I'll gigapan those later...

Mali: A practical approach to resilience
In 2009, the town of Cinzana was perpetually on the brink of food insecurity. Communities were highly vulnerable to weather fluctuations, and farming was disorganized and disjointed, with people struggling to produce enough food to meet their day-to-day needs.
But four years on, Cinzana has become a food aid provider, with the support of the World Food Programme (WFP). The project, part of WFP's global 'Purchase for Progress' programme, seeks to tackle the root causes of vulnerability and help communities break cycles of poverty and disaster.
Aid workers have provided farmers with information about changing weather patterns along with guidance on how they can adapt their farming methods to cope with these changes. The programme has established a market for food that is grown in the town, with WFP purchasing its global emergency food directly from local farmers and farming cooperatives.
Community Resilience
Dr. Soaïbou Toure is the President of a local farmer's cooperative.
"We regularly follow the weather information," he says. "This allows us to know what to plant and when. We adapt our seed varieties based on forecasts.
"We are proud that our products are used to assist vulnerable people in other places."
WFP has helped farmers in Cinzana to establish and manage their own cooperatives. Before the programme began, Cinzana residents often depended on food aid. But in 2009, the town's seven cooperatives produced a grain surplus of 150 tons – enough for them to sell on the global market. By 2012, a total of 18 cooperatives had been formed, with the annual surplus ballooning to 400 tons.
"One of the achievements of the programme is the organization of producers," says Youssouf Coulibaly, head of an agricultural cooperative in Cinzana. "They plan sales without falling into food insecurity."
Visible change
"In the village, the change is visible," continued Mr. Coulibaly. "The children go to school, the community has changed and the producers are now setting the sale price, not the merchants."
Mariama Dembele, a 63 year-old widow from Sanogola village on the outskirts of Cinzana, agrees. "The purchase of our products by WFP through the cooperatives has changed many things in my life," she says. "I can buy a cart, a donkey, sheep and poultry that I raise here at home… My last boy of 23 years left, but when the economy here stabilized, he returned to the village."
In the past, Mrs. Dembele, would sell her grain on a daily basis.
"When I needed money, I sold some grain or borrowed money from richer people. But now I can plan my spending," she says. "We put aside the family stock and sell the surplus. This earns me cash and even allows me to save money."
OCHA, in collaboration with humanitarian partners like WFP, is working to build the resilience of communities across the Sahel.
In Mali, more than 3.5 million people are currently affected by food insecurity with more than 1.4 million in need of immediate food assistance. The WFP programme in Cinzana is an shows how aid can help to strengthen the resilience of a community, and help people to break the cycle of vulnerability.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS2341896
The icemaker control assembly is located in the freezer section of your refrigerator. It is what controls the icemaker. The control turns the timing cams and the ejector blades. It controls most of the basic parts and functions, such as the heater, the water inlet valve, the cube size, and cube ejection. This replacement includes the control module and the motor, the motor is not sold separately. There are a number of reasons you might need to replace this part: if the motor is faulty, if any of the gears are worn out, or any of the plastic pieces are broken or damaged. If your icemaker is not functioning properly, you should start by testing this module. Before you begin repairing your refrigerator, make sure it is unplugged.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Admiral, Estate, Inglis, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Maytag, Crosley, Jenn-Air, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Amana, Caloric & Glenwood.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
removed flap door in front of icemaker...removed 3 screws with bolt heads...removed one additional screw with bolt head and ice unit slid out. I removed motor unit (pops out no screws). Replaced and had ice within 3 hours.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
With socket wrench un-screwed the 3 screws and pulled out the ice maker assembly.Pulled off white plastic end-cap and noticed the plastic gear disk had snapped off (sub part # R0167202)However, it is all-one-part of the motor assembly unit # w10190935 (part # PS2341896) which must be ordered as a complete part.Unscrewed the motor assembly (3 screws) with phillips head screw driver.Screwed in the new unit.Placed ice maker back into location and tightend the bacing srews.1 hour later ice was falling!
Motor from Part Select was 185W instead of 260W that came out of unit. After a bit of searching online, I found out the 260W had been obsoleted for lack of torque when harvesting ice. Removal instructions: Unplugged fridge. Then I removed the screw on the bottom right rear of the unit. Then removed the plastic cover that covered the power connector. Pulled out the icemaker by pushing in the tab on the bottom left middle of the icemaker unit and pulling unit toward me. Unplugged the connector on the back right hand side. Removed the cover on the left side covering motor. Took out 3 philips screws and removed old motor with broken axle that spun freely (the source of the clicking noise). Put new motor in aligning harvest arm (the thing with the fingers) and did reverse of removal. Then plugged fridge back in and it started a harvest and the next morning I had a half tub of ice.
Did the diagnostics with the blinking light and couldn't decide what was bad....so ordered the control boards and the module motor assm. also. Turned out that it was the control boards and would suggest that future customers order that part first...if it isn't that then get the module and motor assm......these guys ship really fast and the prices are literally half of what Sears would charge, not to also mention the cost of their service man to walk through your door...OUCH!
My troubleshooting narrowed down the problem to either the control assembly or the thermostat, so I bought both just in case. The motor assembly fixed the problem and I didn't need to install the thermostat.The main thing I want to tell others who are doing this repair, however, relates to the thermostat. If you do indeed need to replace the thermostat (#PS380941) there is something you will need that is not included with the part or mentioned anywhere on this site. The instructions with the thermostat indicate you need to apply something called "Aluminastic" to the thermostat when installing it. I don't know about you, but that isn't something I have around the house, so be sure to order a tube of it when you get the thermostat so you don't have to take a trip to the store to get it to finish the repair.
I removed the ice maker which required removing 3 screws and then disconnecting the electrical plug. Once the ice maker was out, I removed the 3 screws that held the motor assembly to the unit.I removed the motor, replacing it with the new one.Plugged the power supply cord back in, replaced the unit with the 3 screws and within a few minutes the unit was receiving water and by the next day I had ICE. This saved me $50. for the service call, then another $25.00 installation fee when the part came in (had to be ordered) plus the markup on the motor (approx. $25.00) So I saved approx. $100. and only took about 30 min.
We weren't sure if the problem was in the Water Inlet Valve or in the Icemaker Control & Motor Assembly. The water in the door did work. We removed the Water Inlet Valve & tested it with an Ohm Meter. It tested good so we put it back in. We then ordered the Icemaker Control & Motor Assembly. When it arrived we installed it and waited a few hours but the icemaker still did not fill with water. We telephoned a parts store and were told the problem could be the thermostat or we could replace the whole icemaker. We replaced the whole icemaker.
1. turn off power. 2. pop off ice maker cover to access motor assembly. 3. remove three screws to assembly. 4. pull off assembly.5. attach new assembly making sure metal arm and plastic ice tray rod align with assembly.6. screw assembly onto unit.7. replace cover.8. plug in refrigerator.9. enjoy ice again with no leakage into freezer.
I have an old DIY home repair book and I saw that the ice maker repair wasn't hard, so I ordered the parts from Part Select. 1 day to arrive...super service. The site is very helpful with diagrams about the parts. The repair was a cinch...EXCEPT I forgot to unplug and got a little zap. The shelf pegs were a breeze because I had read other's stories about how to remove and replace on this site. Go try to do it...get a book at library if you need some direction.
I checked the fuses and hoses in the back of the refrigerator to make sure water WAS in fact getting to the front of the fridge. Since the water through the front door worked fine, I had to check the water tube running to the ice maker. It was fine and water was waiting to go somewhere! I decided to pull the icemaker out of the fridge to see what I could fine. Once it was out, I took the ICEMAKER CONTROL AND MOTOR ASSEMBLY off (that's the side part with the dial on it). Only 3 screws to take that off, and it was EASY to see what was wrong once I took that off. There was a connection that was obviously bad (looked almost like it had burned out). My thought was that it was obvious what part was bad, what would it hurt for me to try to fix it myself? When I got online to find the part, PartSelect was the only one that I found that had the EXACT part that I needed, and lucky for me, there were multiple pictures of multiple angles of the part so I could compare and make sure I had the right one!! The part with shipping cost less than the cost of a repair tech to even come out and look at the fridge. Then add the cost of the part and labor if I had the repair tech fix it...I probably saved about $250!!!!
removed the three screw holding the broken unit - pulled off the old module.Before I could install new module I had to loosen some fasteners on ice maker so I could turn shaft to align with new module.Then push on new unit and three screws. Had tumbling ice in about an hour. My wife thinks I'm a hero. (I am)
I ran all the ice maker module tests that I could find online, I tried cleaning the contacts inside the ice maker control module, nothing worked...so I finally decided to purchase a new control module. I had already had the module out and taken apart a few times, so the new one was very easy to install. Just removed the entire icemaker from the fridge, removed a few screws, took off the old module, put on the new one, replaced the screws, re-installed the icemaker in the fridge (it just slides in and out similar to a shelf). And 30 minutes later I heard the first batch of ice cubes drop! And by morning the bucket was nearly full. After two weeks of no ice and trying to fix it myself - the family was glad to have ice again (it was July in NC!). In retrospect, I should have followed the advice I found online and ordered the new part sooner and saved all of those frustrating hours of trying to "fix" the part myself.
ridiculous how a tiny plastic broken part required a full motor assembly replacement. that being said, i went online, found this website and easily identified the part i needed to order. i was impressed when it arrived within a couple of days. removing the old motor and replacing the new was a piece of cake...and i am NOT mechanically inclined,
removed screws that held the ice maker in place, then removed the cover (popped off) The drive element was easy to remove, three screws and it was out. I put in the new part and reinstalled the icemaker with the three screws that hold it in place. I never call Sears for any repair. They use contract help and I have heard horror stories about those guys!
Unplugged refrigerator. Used nut driver to remove small bolt retaining wire cover on right side of ice maker. Removed wire cover, used flat head screw driver to depress side-rail clips. Ice maker slid out, unplugged. Timer module cover pops off easily. Three screws removed the timer module. Installation was reverse of removal. Had ice in less than an hour, bin was full by next morning. If you have a screw driver and know what it's for, this job should come easily.

After 50 years, journalism at a crossroads in Madagascar
Madagascar recently celebrated its 50th Independence Day, a milestone for a Malagasy press that has been documenting through difficult periods the nation's tumultuous journey of self-rule. The funny thing is that most of our written press is in French, as in most former French colonies, and we never really question why that is or find issue with it. But when it comes to radio, the Malagasy language rules the air, seemingly a tribute to our enduring tradition of oral storytelling. Growing up in Antananarivo, my grandmother, like most Malagasies, would drop everything at the stroke of 2 p.m. to tune the radio she purchased in the 1940s to a daily show callled "Tantara mitohy" (literally, "story in progress"), a well-produced but low-budget radio "telenovela."

Your Charitable Dollar
by Helpful Hannah
Related Articles
Helping Others without Spending Money
Making a Difference
As a certifiable tightwad, I constantly survey our household budget to be sure that we are getting the most "bang for the buck" in each budget category. As a balanced person, one column in our household budget is labeled "church and charity."
Although advice is plentiful for the grocery, clothing and even the entertainment column of the budget, for the value laden area of charitable giving, advice is rare. Feeling particularly brave (and with a clock of anonymity surrounding me), I will stand tall and share my giving philosophy.
My faith teaches that all of us have an obligation to help one another and to support the church and its mission. In the practical application of this principle, my first obligation, beyond home and family, is to my local church and local community.
Experience demonstrates that purchasing products for a charitable cause is an expensive and inefficient method of fund raising. I refuse to buy a ten dollar candle (which I could purchase at a yard sale for 25 cents), so that one dollar will eventually find its way to a local cause. Nor do I respond to mail or phone requests. These requests multiply exponentially if you respond to even one.
It is helpful to be prepared for the inevitable arrival of the little "darlings of the doorstep" with a well-rehearsed response. For example, "Oh, isn't that a beautiful candle. But, you know, I just don't need one right now. I sure do wish you good luck!" (said with a warm smile as you close the door).
Now that we have covered what we don't do, let's proceed to what we should do. My husband and I both make it a point to always carry a one dollar bill in our wallets for those times when a dollar is an appropriate donation. For example, we give when friends or neighbors are standing outside the grocery store selling Tootsie Rolls to benefit Special Olympics or Buddy Poppies for disabled Veterans. Or when there is a family tragedy affecting a co-worker, I can sign my name to the workplace gift card and add a dollar to the "love offering" taken up on his or her behalf.
Each New Years Day, I prepare a large recycled business envelope upon which are posted all donations along with the amount and date. Inside the envelope, receipts are collected so that at the end of the year, the record is complete.
An obvious giving area for tightwads is the reuse and recycling of household goods. For example, clothes and household items contributed to the church yard sale are re-sold for ten cents on the retail dollar. This is a "win-win" situation. Buyers can find the goods they need at bargain prices. Givers have more orderly closets and cupboards stocked with items in current use. And the church gains from its greatest source of income beyond the weekly collection. Likewise, used books, videos, tapes and CDs donated to the Friends of the Library are either added to the library's collection or sold in a seasonal fund raiser with the proceeds used for supplemental needs. Often, a local bank, Sears Vision, Lenscrafters and Pearle Vision will have bins for accepting used eyeglasses and hearing aids for recycling by the Lions Club.
Local schools often welcome "Box Tops for Education" labels for funding school playground equipment. The Red Cross is always eager for strong and healthy blood donors.
Giving is a personal and private matter, reflecting deeply held values, goals and religious beliefs. What is right for me and my family may not be at right for the reader. Nevertheless, in my view, our giving does matter and how we give matters even more than how much is given.

text: On the beach: The Carve was, rather unusual, released in May 2010 (and got tested by us straightaway) and rather unusual as well, it wasn't given a clear designated year in which it was released. This makes it current and it should stay current throughout 2011. After the Carve and S-type lines merged in 2008 many riders weren't happy with this change and so Starboard issued the successful freeride range again after some hesitation. Three boards, 121, 131 and 141 are built in two constructions; wood (tested) and Tufskin. What stands out most are the tail cut-outs and the characteristic dome deck on the back of the board. The V-rocker is more emphasized at the back than at the front, and is strongest around the front straps, where it decreases again towards the fin box. The Carve comes with a 40CM long G10 fin.

Kim Kardashian was allegedly a victim of physical and psychological abuse from her first husband, music producer Damon Thomas. The two eloped in 2000, and got married in Las Vegas. Kim was just 19 at that time.
The three-year marriage was reportedly filled with domestic abuse, as stated in the obtained 2003 court documents in which Kim reports Damon would punch her in the face, slam her against walls, and held her captive for years.
Damon is presently talking to his lawyers before giving an official statement about this. Kim, on the other hand, is also keeping her mum on this matter.

Erpenbach says he'll work with GOP on Medicaid deal
Gov. Walker proposed rejecting expansion
MADISON, Wis. - Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach said he will be talking with Republican lawmakers about accepting a federally funded Medicaid expansion that ends after a certain period of time.
Erpenbach discussed the possible deal Tuesday at a health care conference.
Republican Gov. Scott Walker has proposed rejecting the Medicaid expansion in his state budget, which is subject to approval by the GOP-controlled Legislature.
Erpenbach said he knows of Republicans in the state Senate who have a difficult time with Walker's plan, which would result in turning away an estimated $4.4 billion in federal funding to expand Medicaid for 175,000 adults.
At the HealthWatch Wisconsin conference on Tuesday, Dennis Smith, outgoing secretary of the state Department of Health Services, defended Walker's plan.
"The cost of providing that coverage is the same, it's only which pocket it gets paid out of," Smith said.
Erpenbach and other Democratic lawmakers on a panel at the conference criticized Walker's plan and said it is motivated by politics, not what makes sense for the state.
"When I look at the Legislative Fiscal Bureau reports, I see some facts that are pretty clear to me looking at the issue, and that is under Gov. Walker's proposal, the state of Wisconsin will spend more money," said Bobby Peterson, executive director of ABC for Health, nonprofit that specializes in health care advocacy for Wisconsin's low-income residents.

Happy fall, everyone! Mother Nature has cooperated by providing a very West Coast fall day to kick things off. Nothing like a few gray skies to make the possibility of a prize seem even better...
Thanks to everyone who got their registrations in during the summer. We appreciate it!
Just remember that if you haven't had a chance to register yet, early bird prices are still in effect for another week, until the end of the month. Sign up soon!
If you were organized to register in the spring (gasp! - you people are amazing) or in the summer (hey, not too shabby either. It's hard to be productive in the summer!), you were automatically entered in our end-of-summer book draw.
The winner was decided by a random number generator, so blame it, not me, if you didn't win. (I'm talking to you especially, BJ Muntain! :-) )
And the winner is.... *drum roll*.... Kate Rose of Oregon! Congrats, Kate! We'll have a book prize waiting for you at the registration desk at the conference.
If it wasn't you this time, don't despair. I think maybe, just maybe there's one more of these contests up my sleeve between now and the conference. Keep an eye on the blog for details.

By NEMCC Media Relations
BOONEVILLE – Northeast Mississippi Community College head softball coach Jody Long believes in the quality of a program and signed four seniors that will reinforce his belief and make an impact on the Lady Tigers 2013-14 team on Thursday, January 17.
Originally planned for Tuesday, January 15 (the first day that high school athletes could sign with collegiate programs), Northeast's softball signing ceremony was pushed back due to inclement weather.
However, Mother Nature did not dampen the Lady Tigers signing ceremony a second time as East Webster's Abigail Rish, Red Bay, Alabama's Audrey Goss and New Albany's Shannon Goode and Mallory all signed to become Lady Tigers.
Beaty and Goss are both outfielders while Goode is an infielder and Rish is a pitcher.
During her junior year, Goode hit .280 with an on-base percentage of .316. Goode collected 21 hits in 79 plate appearances for Shane Sanderson's Lady Bulldogs. While playing second base and also catching, Goode picked up the pace during the latter portions of her junior season collecting 14 of her 21 hits in her final 13 games of the year. Goode had seven RBI on the year along with three doubles and a slugging percentage of .320.
Beaty hit .514 during her junior year and had a .541 on-base percentage during the 2011-12 season for the Lady Bulldogs. Beaty collected 36 hits during the 25-game season and scored 20 runs while batting in an additional 18.
On the year, Beaty had six doubles and a triple. Beaty's break-out game came in the 2011-12 season opener when the New Albany junior went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, six RBI and the Lady Bulldog also had a double and triple in the contest. In addition to her .541 on-base percentage, Beaty had a .629 slugging percentage and only struck out twice in 74 plate appearances. Beaty was named to the all-division team as well as the Class 4A All-State team and earned the Lady Bulldog Offensive and Defensive Most Valuable Player awards during her varsity career.
Rish ran cross country for the Lady Wolverines while pitching on the side. In her time on the track for East Webster, Rish advanced to the Mississippi High School Activities Association (MHSAA) state meet and finished in the Top 55 in the state. Her time of 24:05.18 was good enough for a Top 11 finished at the Division 3-4A meet. Rish posted a personal best of 18:57.00 at the Tupelo High School Cross Country Invitational earlier in her career. Rish was an All Division 3-4A selection in cross country for East Webster.
Rish has been throwing for eight years and while pitching for the Southaven Express, Rish was awarded the lowest earn run average (ERA) award for her work on the mound. Rish didn't allow an earned run in her dozen innings pitched for the Express and struck out five against 56 batters faced. In addition to her work on the mound, Rish posted a .333 batting average for the Express and had a .429 slugging percentage.
Goss helped the Red Bay Lady Tigers to a successful season during the 2011-12 year while being named to the All-Franklin County team and the All-Area team as well. During her junior year, Goss batted .400 with eight doubles and five triples for the Lady Tigers.
Clocking most of her time as an outfielder, Goss showed bursts of speed for the Lady Tigers registering a 2.85 seconds home-to-first time and an 11.84 seconds home-to-home time. In addition to her time on the diamond, Goss is a member of the Spanish Club, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA), English Club and Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD).
Northeast's softball program will open the 2012-13 season on February
12 as the Lady Tigers host Calhoun Community College at 1 p.m.
Northeast is coming off a 2011-12 year that saw the Lady Tiger softball team bring the Mississippi Association of Community/Junior Colleges (MACJC) state runner-up trophy back to Booneville.
Under the guidance of head coach Jody Long, Northeast finished the 2011-12 season with a 32-19 record and posted a school-record for North Division wins with 17.
During the course of the 2011-12 campaign, Northeast finished as the third team from the North Division but parlayed that finish into a state runner-up finish against Jones County at the MACJC State Tournament in Fulton and then continued its postseason momentum as Northeast was one of the last three teams left standing at the NJCAA Region XXIII Tournament in Clinton.
Long's Lady Tigers not only did work on the field but were successful in the classroom as well with seven member of the Northeast softball team being selected for NJCAA Student-Athlete Academic Awards and the team as a whole was honored by the NJCAA for its academic work when the Lady Tigers were ranked as the thirteenth best team in the nation with a 3.42 overall grade point average (GPA) on a 4.0 scale.

Dir. Frank Darabont
There be evil in yon mist I tells ya!
Stephen King adaptations can be tricky, and often down right schlocky. For every Carrie or The Shining, we get a Silver Bullet or The Mangler. The writer's work doesn't always transfer well to the screen and quite often just goes straight to DVD. Not that this is a bad thing, mind... I mean c'mon - look whose blog you're reading here.
Having helmed The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, Frank Darabont is no stranger to King's scribblings. The Mist provides us with his first adaptation of one's of King's horror stories, though it's easy to see why the director chose this novella to film.
All the ingredients are ripe to make a comfortably formulaic yet usually gripping 'small-band-of-people-seek-refuge-in-one-location-from-mysterious-force' movie, akin to Night of the Living Dead or any number of John Carpenter films.
The Mist however, manages to exploit the formula for all its worth and Darabont turns in a finely honed piece of taut and suspenseful cinema that still manages to feel fresh and, most importantly, surprising.
Many of the characters are essentially stock types, i.e. the 'everyman' father and his son; the sexy blonde teacher who moved into town a year or so ago and is still viewed as an 'outsider', the hard-nosed lawyer from out of town, a couple of beer swilling good ole' boys, the local bible thumping 'nut', the gutsy old lady, the philosophical bag-boy and the doomed young couple who were really-in-love-though-it-took-a-super/natural-apocolyptic-event-to-make-them-realise-it. Each of the cast however provides sturdy performances and tone down the delivery of their inevitable crowd-pleasing comedy-relief one-liners, so as not to ruin the carefully constructed mood of desperation and suspense.
Of course, it comes as no surprise that there is something-lurking-outside-in-the-mist – this is Stephen King after all – but the way in which Darabont slowly, surely makes us realise this, is a real treat. He wisely only offers us tantalising glimpses: a tentacle here, a strange noise there, or with stripped bare, spine-tingling utterances such as 'there's something in the mist.' When things become a bit more obvious though, the constant dread-saturated mood isn't completely dispelled; events just get more active and tense with bizarre critters and splashy effects. The location becomes suitably claustrophobic after a while and the inevitable stragglers, who every now and again decide they need to go outside to 'get help', provide us with momentary relief from the harsh florescent lighting and the hum of the refrigerators in the store.
The group of people in the supermarket eventually break into two clear groups: the realists, who try to keep a clear head and deal rationally with the irrational situation at hand; and those who have sided with the fire and brimstone spewing town 'nut' Mrs Carmody, who views events as a sign that God is quite mad with humanity and repentance is the only hope. To her credit though, Marcia Gay Harden manages to elicit some sympathy from the audience as Carmody, and really delivers a barn-storming performance. In the hands of a lesser actress, the character would have been reduced to gnashing teeth and frenzied hair.
It is perhaps because of her extremity and unreasonableness that the other characters appear so normal.
Morality, philosophy, religion and human nature all come under scrutiny from the characters as they debate about what to do. Of course talk eventually turns to what might have caused the mist and the creatures inside it. This is when the film becomes a touch silly. Well, actually, a lot silly. The old cliché of space/time continuums and parallel worlds is dragged out and dusted off, but before we have time to roll our eyes, a long shimmering plot strand explodes and hell breaks loose, momentarily brushing sci-fi jargon under the blood splattered rug.
When we do finally venture out of the chaos of the supermarket into the forboding quiet of the mist, and see the full extent of the destruction outside, Darabont cranks up the Dead Can Dance laden soundtrack to full effect and events take an unexpected Lovecraftian turn.
Without wishing to give too much away, the shock ending will have you reeling as you stumble to reassess previous events and choices characters have made (and the choices/assumptions you made with them as a viewer) and how they led to such nihilism.
'There be evil in that there mist!'

Awoke to another slightly misty morning after a downpour in the night. Left Walmart around 9am heading towards the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area along Route 209. As we drove through the park, we considered crossing over into New Jersey and back but decided against it when we saw that each bridge was a toll bridge, so we satisfied ourselves with just a peak towards New Jersey. Maybe next time! Our first stop in the park was at Raymondskill Falls, a short, slippery walk to the upper & middle falls, but worth it. The falls were beautiful. A tone view point, you could see down the river valley and watch the river wind its way to the top of the falls. After this little trip, we were looking forward to seeing more. However, every road we took to get anywhere was closed off. We did manage to find a campground store and ask what was going on. Unfortunately, this park had been hit quite hard by Hurricane Irene a month ago and was still trying to recover from the damage. Never mind, it will just have to be a drive through visit! After passing through the park, we stayed on Route 209 and headed towards Harrisburg, enjoying the scenic drive rather than interstate. We stopped for lunch in Lansford at the JFK Memorial Park, which had monuments to the local fire crews and miners. We then continued on Route 209 and managed to by-pass Harrisburg heading on to Gettysburg.
