François Hollande – no more 'Mr. Pudding'?
Style – more than policy differences on austerity – separated Socialist winner François Hollande from Nicolas Sarkozy in the French presidential elections. France may have simply preferred Hollande, dubbed 'Mr. Pudding,' over bombastic Sarkozy. But Hollande may not be so soft.
(Page 2 of 3)
In the fierce presidential debate of April 27, Mr. Hollande came off as anything but Mr. Flanby. Pugilistic to the point of carrying to extremes his constant interruptions of Sarkozy, he officially wound up in a draw, but in the opinion of this spectator, he seemed to have gained the upper hand by the end of their exchanges: In his incantatory recital of what he would do in various areas as president, Hollande reached a level of lyricism that the more tactical Sarkozy could not, or at any rate did not, match.
Skip to next paragraphSarkozy and the Americans
The fact that Sarkozy came before the US Congress and stated, "I want to be your friend," and that he brought France back into the integrated command of NATO, gave him a pass with the American political class that could not be touched.
This had come after decades of reservation and distrust (interspersed with moments of solidarity, it is true) among the two "oldest allies": from Charles de Gaulle's revenge for his rejection by Franklin Roosevelt during World War II; to François Mitterrand's reserve about American capitalism; to Jacques Chirac's breaking ranks over George W. Bush's preventive war against Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Is this "era of good feeling" between France and the United States now going to end? No. François Hollande is a very centrist leftist, a social democrat, and not a Marxist. A graduate of France's elite schools (of which Sarkozy, trained as a lawyer, is not) Hollande has, I suspect, a formidable capacity to adapt and compromise.
The moment is a bit like that when the last Socialist president, Mr. Mitterrand, took power in 1981(and the mimicry practiced by Hollande with regard to his illustrious predecessor has been widely noticed). At the outset of his presidency, Mitterrand wanted to reassure the US, and he sent emissaries to Washington to do just that.
At the same time, we can expect a certain tacking on the part of the new Hollande regime toward traditional French values – in particular that of a certain distrust toward "liberalism" (which, in the European sense, means laissez-faire capitalism). On foreign policy, we can expect small changes: a year earlier withdrawal from Afghanistan (at the end this year instead of the close of 2013) but not much else.

God bless your little heart, Cathy. Sure, Rubio's slurp-fest made him look and sound ridiculous, but the actual words he was saying made him sound even more so.
Best summation: "Marco Rubio's GOP response will be remembered for his awkward lunge for the water bottle. That's a shame, because the speech itself was remarkable. Not in a good way.
At a moment when the Republican Party needs rebranding, Rubio offered nothing new. The thrust of his speech was "government bad, capitalism good." Yet he recounted how beneficial government assistance has been to his own success. I expected him to resolve the contradiction, but he didn't even try.
Someday, maybe Rubio will take the leap and begin to outline a 21st-century vision for the GOP. It would be good for the country if he did. Also if he remembered to hydrate."

Ideal Family Dog
Miniture Schnauzer

Advantages: Excellent temperament, very little maintenance
Disadvantages: None
We share our household with a female Miniature Schnauzer called Biscuit. Her personality and traits have perhaps been shaped by her unfortunate past. She was rescued from a breeder who subjected her to serious neglect. Biscuit therefore may not share all of the specific characteristics of her breed. However I will tell you a little about her and a little about the Miniature Schnauzer in general.
The Miniature Schnauzer, or the Zwergschnauzer, was initially bred in order to produce a smaller version of the standard Schnauzer. Some say that it was bred using only the smallest specimens of the larger standard Schnauzer, whereas others say that it was a result of crossing the standard with other smaller breeds such as the Affenpinscher. The latter is considered the most plausible.
The Miniature Schnauzer has a very distinct look. It's fur is grey and white with striking black markings around the nose and eyes. The fur grows longer at the eyebrows and nose, giving the appearance of a moustache. Although a miniature breed it is by no means a toy sized dog. The Miniature Schnauzer is muscular and sturdy and in my opinion just the right size. The average size of this breed is 13" for a bitch and 14" for a dog.
The average lifespan of this breed is 14 years and a typical bitch will produce a litter size of around 3-5 puppies. It does not shed it's coat (another great characteristic!) and due to its high standards of hygiene it will not need excessive grooming.
It is a contented breed which is not destructive when left alone. It is also said to have the best temperament of the three breeds, the other two being the standard and the large Schnauzer. With it's excellent character and temperament it therefore makes the ideal family pet.
Biscuit has made a wonderful addition to our family, which apart from my husband and I also consists of our 10 month old baby son and our pair of Siamese cats. She has never growled or chased after our cats, or indeed any others in the garden. She has responded to the inevitable tug at her fur from our son with a simple lick on the hand and a tentative step backward. Biscuit spends most of the day either sitting at my feet or perched on the settee as I often pop her there when my son is on the move.
When choosing a dog as an addition to a family it is very important to choose one with a good temperament. I would most certainly recommend this fantastic breed to anyone.
Summary: a perfect addition to any family

A Path To Justice
Rory Tomasello was, by all accounts, a talented, "intensely bright" and creative young man. An aspiring actor and playwright, Tomasello was studying philosophy at De Anza College in Cupertino while he tried to figure out what to do with his life; he had already outgrown the small town confines of Morgan Hill, California, and was considering moving north to San Francisco to finish college.
On October 23, Tomasello's bright future came to a sudden end in a Morgan Hill crosswalk. Tomasello was on his bike, riding north along the West Little Llagas Creek Trail, a walking and biking trail that was dedicated on June 9. At West Edmundson Ave., a 4 lane street divided by a median strip, the trail continues north through a mid-block crosswalk, which connects to the trail on the north side of West Edmundson. Entering the crosswalk, Tomasello rode to the median strip, where he waited for traffic to pass. A driver stopped for him at the crosswalk, and he proceeded to cross. As he was crossing the final lane, a driver approaching in that lane did not stop, and he collided with the left front of her Cadillac SUV.

With great fanfare the other day, Microsoft announced two new web-based services, Windows Live and Office Live. The initial hype made it sound as if the company was going to make Office and parts of Windows available for free over the Web.
That's not the case, however. Office Live doesn't really have much to do with Office, and Windows Live doesn't have much to do with Windows. Office Live will be a set of free services for small businesses, such as Web hosting, email, and collaboration tools. And Windows Live is in essence a personalized home page, much like Yahoo and Google now offer.
The announcement came only a day or two after CNet reported that Google was hiring programmers to improve OpenOffice.org, the Open Source alternative to Microsoft Office. This spells bad news for Microsoft. If Google can use techniques such as AJAX to create a free, Web-based alternative to Office, I think you'd see plenty of people balk at paying the high prices Microsoft charges for Office.
By themselves, Windows Live and Office Live aren't enough to fend off Google. It appears both are very worthy services and are great ideas. But if Google can really find a way to offer OpenOffice.org for free over the Web, Microsoft will have to come up with something else to fight the search giant.
What do you think of Windows Live and Office Live?

The following is an allegory from ancient Mayavadi philosophers:
A man lives in a dark room and over in the corner there is a rope. His entire life he has seen the rope over in the corner and has lived in fear because he thinks the rope is a snake. One day the light comes on in his dark room and he sees the snake is nothing but a rope. The lights go off again, but his life is never the same. Once he has realized the snake is a rope, his fear has been conquered, because even though the rope looks like a snake, he knows that it is not.
It took me a long time to get there, but I eventually realized that organized stalking (group stalking, gang stalking) is just like that rope. It looks harmful, just like a snake. But in the end it is just a rope.
The perpetrators go to great lengths to freak their targets out. It can work at first because it's new and we don't understand what or why they are doing what they are doing. Their constant presence and persistent petty harrassments will create a dynamic whereby fear, panic and anxiety are created.
When we see through the lenses of our trauma, victimization, or circumstance we sometimes leave actual reality and enter a false reality. Fear is false reality. Fear is illusion. There is an acronym for fear:
It's important to know that anything you allow to rattle you or control you does not have the same hold any more once you realize there is nothing to fear from it. People who participate in group stalking are counting on your fear and panic to do their dirty work for them. In every case I have read, they do not ever do us physical harm because they are pushing for us to do harm to ourselves. Once you realize that they are a rope, not a snake, their antics can become rather amusing.
Furthermore, I have come to a place of compassion. There are many ramifications for holding toxic thoughts, communicating toxic words, and especially partaking in and perpetuating harmful actions. I expound on these in my book.
There is something I think about when I see the actions of the perpetrators. I think, what if this were their last day on earth. How would they feel knowing that they spent their last day on earth harming another, harming themselves, and making no positive contribution to humanity? When I think along these lines I can feel nothing but compassion. I know for myself that I've made a commitment to thinking, saying and doing only the positive, and my focus is on being a beneficial presence on the planet. I want only positive energy in my being, and positive energy going out.
But for you who are in fear or anxiety, I have something to tell you.

Roadmap/Focus area(s): |
Travel Modeling | ||||||||
Project Description: | The primary objective for this Exploratory Advanced Research project is to characterize driver behavior under naturalistic driving experiences with respect to critical parameters related to freeway driving. To accomplish such an objective, the research team will develop agents that will learn individual driver's temporal actions for any given traffic state retrieved from the naturalistic database. These characteristics, or driving rules, of the agents will be coded in the VISISM environment to test and study the collective effects of these learned behaviors with multiple drivers involved and under different situations. Analysis of trained agents' characteristics will provide the industry with methods for developing more accurate and sensitive traffic simulation models, which could lead to future research for developing new generations of traffic simulation models to accurately model impacts of driver behavior in traffic during incidents and complex traffic situations. | ||||||||
Start Date: | September 1, 2009 | ||||||||
End Date: | August 31, 2011 | ||||||||

Project Findings: | This research provides a foundation for agent-based modeling of driver behavior based on naturalistic data through an integrated framework for safety and operation analysis. Lateral vehicle action was simulated in a microscopic traffic behavior modeling environment, bringing new insights to the modeling of driver maneuvering behavior during safety-critical events. Agents developed and evaluated in the VISSIM (a German acronym that refers to a simulation model for traffic in cities) simulation platform revealed a close resemblance to real driver data. The project team improved car-following models through development of a hybrid model for greater accuracy and flexibility and through the addition of the new "passing and hook-following" thresholds. They used the model to simulate vehicle actions in safety-critical events, developed agent-based simulation components integrated with the VISSIM simulation package through its driver model, and developed and implemented a robust activation mechanism for agent-based simulation based on discriminant analysis. The investigators also identified key future research issues: adaptability of agents in real time and human factors issues related to warning individual drivers about changes in their driving behavior that might lead to safety-critical events. | ||||||||

text: President Nicolae Timofti today met Lithuanian Foreign Minister Audronius Azubalis, who is on an official visit to Moldova, according to the presidential press service. President Timofti thanked Audronius Azubalis for the support Lithuania has been providing to Moldova on the EU integration path and in the process of settling the Transnistrian conflict. Lithuania held the OSCE chairmanship in 2011, when it was decided to resume the official five-plus-two talks on the Transnistrian issue. Audronius Azubalis pointed up the importance for Moldova to adopt laws agreed upon with the European Union, among which the anti-discrimination law, so that it advances on the path of liberalization of its visa regime with the EU. The head of the Lithuanian diplomacy said that his country will take over the European Union's Presidency in 2013. He gave assurances that Lithuania is willing to back Moldova from this office as well. President Nicolae Timofti voiced hope that the Moldovan parliamentary parties will be able to reach consensus to adopt the laws on which the EU visa free regime depends. He reiterated that Moldova will spare no effort to speed up the European integration processes.

Affordable range? Gas? Electric? Please help!
I need a range for my new home. It's a starter home that we plan on selling in about five years so we don't want to spend too much money on the appliances.
We have a budget of about $1200 for a range. Ideally, I'd like a gas stove and an electric oven, but our budget (and kitchen layout) doesn't really allow for a gas cooktop + electric wall oven solution. Are there any affordable (but reliable) dual fuels? I haven't really been able to find any.
If you had to pick, would you go with a gas range or an electric range? Obviously, gas is better for the stove and electric is better for the oven. I use the stove and oven equally, so I'm not sure what to do.
From today's Toronto Star, advice for appliance buyers from Consumer Reports:
Good food can emerge from tiny, simple, old-fashioned kitchens, but that doesn't stop homeowners from springing for top-of-the-line appliances that look swanky in a trophy kitchen.
Now comes Consumer Reports with a list of the 10 most-hyped kitchen products and what to buy instead.
Its August edition contains more than 30 pages of advice and ratings, and argues for substance over style (and high cost).
Some findings:
Professional-style ranges that cost U.S. $4,000-plus perform no better than conventional models. Pro models cost a lot to repair, too.
Speed-cooking features don't always make well-cooked food.
Food cooked in costly steam ovens and ranges had as much fat on them after cooking as before.
Multimedia refrigerators don't outperform conventional models but cost U.S. $2,000 more. Just buy a separate TV.
Choose a lower-priced dishwasher that "blends top cleaning with quietness and shorter cycle times" rather than a costlier turbocharged version. Most regular dishwashers do just fine.
Appliance drawers' negatives outweigh their conveniences.
Faucets in chrome or durable scratch- and corrosion-resistant finishes performed best, no matter their price. Stainless-steel sinks functioned well, whether thick or thin.
Trendy concrete or limestone countertops damage easily.
Green renewable flooring such as bamboo, cork and linoleum may be eco-friendly, but some don't hold up as well as wood or vinyl.-
re: mexivilla
Hmm, I think that is kinda bull about pro ranges to be honest. I am not a huge fan of Wolf or Viking, but if you get yourself a great BlueStar for 3.5k, it is going to be amazing. I have been appliance shopping for quite a while now, and from everything I have seen, SOME of the pro ranges have big advantages -
More BTU power on the burners
More than just one high power burner. That is somewhat crazy to me to have only one burner that can get stuff hot quickly
Build quality - things are BlueStar are somewhat overbuilt, and are going to last you a long time - especially the grates and burners.
More BTUs for the gas ovens, better temp regulations.In all honesty, I wouldn't buy a Viking or Wolf over a cheaper brand, but a proper pro-style range (BlueStar, FiveStar) is a good purchase, and they depend on cooking performance rather than costly marketting. My advice would also be to steer clear of "gadget" options, especially electronics. One reason I am going with a simple all gas range, just less costly electronics to go wrong.
I have never understood the need for a multimedia fridge.. When I am cooking, I am focusing on cooking, not looking at a fridge front so I can watch my latest show. And yes, you could get a sodding nice TV for a couple of grand extra that the option costs you on your fridge.
Everything else from that consumer reports sounds fair to me. Spending thousands of dollars on a dishwasher is crazy to me, but hey.
Care to help me out guys?? I have a low end freestanding electric oven/range that came with this house we moved into. I have a gas water heater, but would need to have a plumber run a line if I got gas (HOW MUCH COULD THAT BE!!! YIKES)... I keep thinking I want gas because in my previous home the stove and oven were soooooooo nice...convection..self cleaning....this is MINIMAL...do I need the gas?? Should I spend the extra money? NOTHING has cooked right since I moved in here....and I think its because 1) its electric and not used to it..(MISS seeing FLAME) I just cant afford a lot, BUT..if Im going to do this right...would rather do the right thing..pros...cons...
Look at Jenn-Air 30" dual fuel range with 2 ovens. Very unique: good 5-burner gas cooktop, small upper electric oven great for broiling, pies, cookies, etc; lower convection oven good regular size oven. Probably about $1500, but it's got a lot of good features that you can't easily get for that price. Range just slides into 30" gap - no build-in required, but the gas and electric have to be placed pretty exactly in the wall. The only possible downside: can't cook a huge, growth-hormone beast of a turkey... :-)
After suffering with an electric range,and oven for the years I was renting I was so glad to get a gas range, and gas convection oven when we built our house. Im my opinion gas is the better way to go with the cooktop, and oven.
re: flourgirl
Hey spiffy dude, thanks for the timely thread. I'm also in a position at the moment to buy new appliances for the kitchen (we are renovating, also in a starter home - but with real-estate these days, it is looking like it will be the forever-home). I think that Mr. Cheesehead and I have decided to go for "spiffy" but "mid-range" stove - Bosch all gas (less expensive than the dual-fuel that you are considering) and Bosch dishwasher (that's for Mr. Cheesehead who is the dish-master in the house). Here's our reasoning: when we finally sell our house, we may take the appliances with us. It is not mandatory that you leave your appliances. That is something that you can negotiate with the buyer down the road. I enjoy cooking and spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I want my time there to be enjoyable.
Congratulations your new home - welcome to the legions of the house-poor!
I'm not like the world's most expert baker or anything, nor have I spent a lot of time working with expensive ranges / ovens, but I have liked my gas ovens better than any electric oven I've ever worked with - things just seem to come out better.
I don't know if you like vintage stoves at all, but I really love my O'Keefe and Merritt (had an apartment sized one at my last place, which had a tiny kitchen, and now have a huge one w/ a grill in the middle at my new place. You can't get a museum condition one for that money, but you can get a nice O'Keefe & Merritt or Wedgewood in good working condition for about $5-900 depending on condition, and the resale value should be pretty good if you sell it later.
re: will47
Sounds like spiffy dude is buying a NEW house and has an allowance from the builder to buy a range AT A SPECIFIC STORE. Used won't cut it...
I have some experience with the "deals" that stores typically work out with builders...
If they say your "allowance" is $1200 what they will generally do is show you ranges that have a "book price" of that, but those ranges generally sell for about 30% discount. Not a bad range, buy probably not enough to get a dual fuel range which have street price of about $1000...
What I would suggest is doing some serious LEG WORK. First head to a Best Buy and Home Depot. These places have very standard prices that everybody gets treated the same. They generally have a discount from MSRP of about 10-15%, sometimes a bit more. The key is to list out the FEATURES that each range has, as there are often "mass merchant only" models. After you've been to these places you should have a pretty good sense for what your "allowance" will buy at the mass merchants. Next I'd head to an independant appliance seller, but NOT the place that has the deal with your builder. These places have somewhat fluid prices, both becuase they have a bit of the "car salesman" mindset that every customer is worth a little more than they say AND because these places mroe frequently get "marketing incentives" from the appliance makers that they can use to offer better prices. When you leave there you should have an excellent sense of the "best deal" that you can get for the TOTAL allowance that your builder has worked out. Next head to the dealer that your builder has worked out the allowance with. It should quickly dawn on them that you've done some homework. If they stand hard on the "book price" don't waste your time or theirs. Go to the builder. If the builder understands that you know the 'allowance' will go much further at another merchant they will probably either dig in their heals and say "Dealer X is the ONLY place that meets my schedule" or something equally silly. (silly because anybody with a pickup can get an appliance delivered to a house under construction in no time...) OR they will say "Fine here is $900-- go get the range you want".
Finally, most builders HATE putting a wall oven in a base cabinet if they are stock builder -- extra work for the electricians, cabinet crew, and inspectors. Even custom builders will object if they've already got your cabinets ordered, scheduled et cetera. Where are you on the timeline?
re: renov8r
Renov8r gives GREAT advice. America is not a bargaining culture and you have to fight that. The only thing they can say is "No." So get over it. Once you decide that it's a game, it becomes fun. Just keep in mind that they have a bottom line and have to make a profit so don't be a jerk. Be pleasant and both of you can win.
Don't trust taking notes for comparison. Print out the specs on the models that appeal to you from the internet, take the file with you, and jot down notes in the margins. You'll know the MSRP and what each store offers and you can play them against each other. Sometimes you can get last years' model or a scratch-and-dent. I've gotten amazing deals on special orders that were returns that were offered to me at dealer cost.
Just remember that at a certain point, a stove is a stove is a stove. Special orders that delay your builder and the completion of your home will make you no friends and you probably won't be any happier with the finished kitchen than if you had found something reasonable that was easily obtainable.
Renov8r is right about the builder's bottom line. Working with him is to your advantage. Do your homework and you'll probably get pretty close to exactly what you want.-
re: MakingSense
Right on, I've already started a feature/price comparison spreadsheet database for all the appliances I'm considering. I should definitely ask if they have any old models that they're trying to get rid of. And special orders probably won't be an issue, since if it's "special" it probably means it's out of our budge!
re: renov8r
Wow, thanks for all the info renov8r! We don't quite have an allowance, but it's close. They're "including" the appliances: five cheapo Frigidaires that can be upgraded through the dealer. Whenever I asked them anything beyond their standard promo sheet, I was told to get in touch with the dealer. I am indeed worried that since I'm "locked in" with them, I have next to no leverage to negotiate the upgrade prices. Any advice?
The house is set to close at the end of this year and we haven't yet chosen our cabinetry. I'm still not sure if separate components is the way to go. I'd love to get a Bosch dual-fuel range, but I have to keep reminding myself that this is money down the drain once I sell the house.
re: spiffy_dude
If it starts getting to be a hassle and complicated, having an all-gas range/oven isn't the worst thing to have. I'd prefer that over an all-electric model. If this is really just a starter home and you don't plan on taking the appliances when you sell, save your time and energy for when you're shopping for your dream kitchen.
re: spiffy_dude
I think you are on the right track. It can be a real bummer to be buying a new house in a builder-type development. They try to offer some choices but no builder can have access to everything. If you know you are getting a raw deal then just ask for the cash point blank. With the way no home sales are going in tank the builder would be a fool not to try and make you happy.
If you are fairly certain that you'll be putting the home up for sale in the next 5 years or so I would not put too much into upgrades that cost a lot. The #1 thing that will make your house sell, vs others that may be available new if the development does not sell out, witll be the things that cannot be added: in a word LOCATION -- get the best (quietest, most scenic/most mature landscaping , best backyard config) that you can!
When it comes to the "food centric" stuff you can count on getting your money back for things like a tastefully decorated dining room, and a custom pantry ( storage, lighting are great DIY projects). Appliances? In 5 years even top of the line will still be 5 years old, but if you plan on getting a stove that doesn't look beat-up will help. Try to get a stove that has burner grates that have a heavy weight non-shiny finish - they are A LOT less likely to show wear... I would caution that you ought not get any bottom of the line stuff. If they offer (or you can upgrade to) a fridge with filtered ice & water get that. Get DW with a SS interior if you can, they look good practically forever. Get the most feature laden microwave the builder has. The trend is definitely toward units with convection and other speed cook features. You can't go wrong with stainless finishes. Second choice for color would be black, a distant third. pure white. These are for RESALE value, and timelessnes/resistance to showing wear are what I'm going on...Good Luck!
re: renov8r
I should mention that I live up in Canada, and it's currently a seller's market. We did our best to find a good location that fit our budget. I must admit that I'm not 100% happy about it, but I just keep reminding myself that it's a starter home. It's a small place (tiny backyard and we don't even get a pantry), but we don't have kids so it's more than enough space for us.
About the fridge with filtered ice and water, may I ask why you recommend this? A number of people have suggested the opposite because they say the mechanical parts have a tendency to break down.
Most likely, we're going to go with black appliances. It's cheaper than stainless steel, and I imagine that it's more scratch resistant (or at least it's easier to get the scratches out). Normally, this wouldn't be such an issue, but we have a very energetic dog.
Good call on the non-shiny grates. I'll definitely have to keep that in mind.
Thanks so much renov8r!
re: spiffy_dude
Ice & water is one of those things that 10-15 years ago were troubleprone, that is no longer the case with most "normal" (freezer on top) or side by side fridges -- now if you get a fridge w/o those features it just screams "bottom of the line". With the filter you are saving momney on bottle watered and have less reason to open the door and waste energy -- energy efficency is a BIG plus. For the French door style this would be a newer feature, and the data is not yet there for reliability(plus as I posted in another thread in some French door models these designed practically fight gravity).
In general it's a good idea to avoid the top-of-the line and bottom. I do somewhat agree with folks that say "hey $1000 is only $200/year over 5 years" but when deciding where to save some dough and go for an upgrade my #1 suggestion is always consider what will show age the least, and I think that you are on the right track. If you can get appliance with more features/better wear characteristics and still stay within your budget all the better.
I thought that even the shows we get from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp (like Buy Me) seem to suggest that the market for homes in Canada is pretty bad too, but it probabl varies by location...
re: renov8r
To be honest, I haven't come across many top-freezer fridges with ice and water. I usually only see them on side-by-sides. For our drinking water, we are currently using one of those filters that attach directly to the faucet. I guess I'll have to look into this as well. Any recommendations for the brands?
I'm pretty surprised that you're hearing that our real estate market is bad. Well, I guess it depends on what you consider as bad. The boom in western Canada has resulted in a ridiculously low vacancy rate. They just can't keep up with the demand, so the prices are well up there. Good for sellers but obviously very bad for buyers. Generally speaking, the real estate market in Canada has been on fire and some analysts are only now suggesting that it's starting to slow down.
re: spiffy_dude
Ice and water in the door is great if you drink a lot of water, we don't drink sodas in our house so it's a big thing for us. I put an additional cartridge filter in the supply line and pretty much never worry about the rather expensive filter in the fridge.
If you do look for one, choose the double paddle version, one for ice, one for water, instead of single with a switch. The only component I've ever seen fail is the switch. Frigidaire has been good to me.
At the very least get an icemaker.
re: Scrapironchef
I have this mental image in my head of my dog standing on his hind legs and hitting the paddles to get his own ice and water...
Thanks for the tip on the switch. I still kind of wonder if it's really necessary for us since we already have a faucet filter. Ice would be nice though...
re: spiffy_dude
Let me try to put the "money down the drain" idea to rest for you, spiffy dude. Let's assume you spend the terrific sum of $1000 to upgrade to a stove you will really, really enjoy for the next five years and you do indeed cook at home a lot. That's only $200 a year or $16.67 a month - about what a chain restaurant meal costs. You've got a nice quality stove that will wear well and look good when you sell in five years. You've gotten five years of real pleasure from it for very little monthly cost.
The annuals you plant in the garden, the fresh flowers on your table, everything else you buy that fades could be called "money down the drain." If something gives you pleasure, figure out if it's a reasonable expenditure in terms of your lifestyle and then go for it. Obviously, you can't do this with swimming pools and every possible upgrade, but figure out what's really important to you and go for it.-
re: MakingSense
I've got to agree with MakingSense, 5 years would be a long time to live with a less than ideal stove. 1 or 2 years maybe. If you really like it, take it with you when you move, but it will probably bring a premium on the sale and you can upgrade again. It will probably be in better shape in 5 years than a lesser model.
re: Scrapironchef
I hear what you folks are saying, but what worries me is that we've already gone past our budget for the house. We have to draw the line somewhere. The money saved on appliances could go to other essential items, or we can even put it towards the down payment. But I agree that five years is a long time to put up with cheap appliances (especially when it comes to the dishwasher).
Are you having trouble finding affordable or reliable-reviewed dual fuel units?
I have a Kenmore Professional duel fuel range (gas stove, electric+convection oven) but it's a double-oven unit that's 36 inches wide (I think that's the width, maybe it's 40). I think it would be hard to have an unreliable gas stove, unless you had burners that were always too high or too low and didn't adjust. My oven has been working well for about 1.5 years, still calibrated to the right temperature for baking. I haven't figured out if the convection cooking is off because of the oven or me (most likely me) - I'm just not used to it and haven't had the time to tinker with recipes to adapt them.
Sears always has sales going on, either a drop in price, no interest financing, or 10-20% off certain appliances. With the July 4th holiday coming up, I'd see if there's a sale coming up. I like Kenmore (which is often an LG, Frigidaire, or other brand style with the Kenmore name - like Costco does) and think they're a good compromise between cheap appliances and ridiculously expensive ones like Wolf and Viking.
Consumer Reports Best Buys on dual fuel ranges are Kenmore ($1550) and GE Profile ($1700) but those are full retail prices which you might be able to beat by shopping around.
One thing that you could consider is a wall oven mounted under-counter. I have a gas cooktop with a cabinet underneath and a single electric oven in another section of my kitchen but it's mounted low, under the counter. That puts it at the same height as the oven on a range. See if that can work with your kitchen layout.
The cost of my two appliances was less than a dual fuel range.-
re: spiffy_dude
GE Profile Convection Oven but a non-convection is much cheaper.
My gas cooktop is an old KitchenAid. Gas cooktops are really durable. Virtually nothing goes wrong with most of them. There are some models however with bad repair records, something I have neither time nor patience for.
Check Consumer Reports. The subscription is inexpensive compared to the amount of money you're getting ready to lay out for appliances. They do a good job on ratings for repair frequency, etc. plus which models are best value for the money. Important since you're looking at resale, not dream kitchen. -
re: spiffy_dude
This is my normal spiel that I give every time this question is brought up about the GE Profile since we got ours 3 years ago. For the stand alone range (if you decide to go that route and not buy separate components), there is a lip where the controls are that go over the back burners. The only cookware you can use in the back are small pots or flat pans because the lip gets in the way. I like having my larger pots on the back stove, for simmering, boiling pasta, etc. and I can't. If you check it out, keep that in mind because once you notice it, it's pretty obvious. We have the electric, smoothtop. Great concept but if you ever boil over, or you pour out of a pot and put it back on the stove w/ a little residue on the bottom, it bakes on the stove and is hard to clean. The other thing you can't do with it is lay a large roasting pan or griddle across two burners. We went with the non-convection oven because we were in the same situation as you (moving in a few years). In hindsight, I wish we had paid more and gotten the convection oven. My first choice would have been gas but that would have required running gas lines down to our house and cost-prohibitive for the short time we'd be here.
re: chowser
Thanks for the info on the GE Profile. That lip does indeed sound annoying.
Does convection really make THAT much of a difference? I mean, I hear a lot of great things about it, but it costs significantly more. Our current oven is a cheap model (provided by the apartment) and it doesn't have convection. We get along fine, but this is probably a case of ignorance is bliss.
re: spiffy_dude
It depends on what you cook but I do a lot of roasts and chicken type things. I thought it was unnecessary, too, but I've found myself short on time at the end of the day. Plus, baking cakes can sometimes take an hour on a regular oven and you have to plan ahead for it. I never thought about it until I stayed with a friend who has a double convection oven and she cooked 4 chickens at once in a fraction of the time. And, there's no need to switch cookie sheets at the halfway point. I bake a lot, though, and if I didn't, would not spend the extra money.
Oh, one thing we're seriously considering is getting a countertop advantium which is also a microwave and is similar to the convection oven. You can get a built in but the advantage of the countertop is that we can bring it with us when we move. I think it's about $300 so less than upgrading to a convection oven, plus if you're moving, it's not sunk in the house.
re: chowser
I have the GE Profile ceramic cooktop with a bridge unit, so I have no difficulty putting a large roasting pan or griddle across two burners. It all depends on what you buy. Note -- I had always cooked with gas, and kept burning things with the coil electric cooktop that was here when I moved into my house, but the ceramic has been just terrific. Sometimes I am actually happy that I don't have burners to clean, and I have no real problem cleaning the smooth top, which looks better to me now than the gas unit I thought I would have preferred. The trick is to get the burners before you bake on more junk.
re: RGC1982
I wish I had gotten that bridge option. When we ordered ours, it wasn't available from the site we used. I do like my GE Profile, just a few things in hindsight that I would have done differently like getting a slide in so the controls on back didn't overhang on the back burners, getting the bridge, and getting a convection. I also worry about scratching the top w/ heavy duty pans.

Review: Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
September 1st, 2009 | Written by Danreb Victorio | Topic: Nintendo DS, ReviewsThe Professor Layton series has been around for quite a while, but on American shores, it's only been around for a couple years. While Japan has now seen four Professor Layton games, including a full-length feature film coming up, North America is just seeing the release of the second game. It's been more than a year since the last game was released, and if all you expect is some puzzle-solving action, then this game is definitely well worth the wait.
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box once again stars everyone's favorite top hat-dawning, dot-eyed professor and his boy apprentice, Luke, on a somewhat darker adventure than the one they encountered in the village of St. Mystere. This time around, Layton and Luke visit one of Layton's teachers—who they find to be dead by the time they reach his flat, leaving an unused ticket for a luxury train with no destination written on it. Layton and Luke learn that before his sudden death, he had been studying a "cursed" box that brings death to all that open it. With this information, the two set out to solve these many mysteries.
For those of you who've never experienced a Layton game before, all you have to know is that it's a mystery novel that requires you to solve a handful of puzzles to progress. Throughout the game, you'll unravel different mysteries that add some depth to the story, and as you continue to advance the story, the little mysteries you encounter at the beginning of the game become clearer.
If that didn't make much sense, all you really need to know is that you'll be solving a bunch of brain-teasing puzzles. A lot of the puzzles are simple teasers that require just a little bit of logic and trial and error, while others require a whole lot more planning. The difficulty of each puzzle is represented by the number of "picarats" each one has. Picarats are what allow you to continue to progress through the game and also act as a sort of revenue to unlock many of the game's bonuses. The more picarats a puzzle has, the more challenging it is.
Of course, not everyone is into puzzles. Luckily, with each puzzle comes three hints that you can make use of to help solve each puzzle. While a lot of the game's puzzles are open-ended, the more difficult ones require one definite answer, and sometimes it can be hard to come up with an answer right away. With that, you can only use a hint when coughing up a hint coin, which are found in random areas throughout the game's environments.
Though it's probably a staple to the game, one issue players have had in the original game that rears its ugly head again in The Diabolical Box is the fact that it's really easy to cheat in this game. Since a lot of the puzzles require a lot of trial and error, and even three hint coins, you can easily give yourself a second chance by saving the game before a puzzle, and then turning the DS off and on after you've solved it. Doing this will save you of playtime, hint coins, and possible picarats that you may have lost by doing a puzzle incorrectly. Seeing as how a fifth Layton game is in development by the time this title has been released, we don't anticipate this problem to be addressed anytime soon, but it would be nice if that were the case.
The game's superb visual style has virtually gone through no changes, and that's certainly not a bad thing. The characters each have very lively and distinct styles while also blending effectively with their appropriate backgrounds just like they did in The Curious Village. The only real difference between The Diabolical Box and The Curious Village is that The Diabolical Box is probably a lot more colorful, but other than that, nothing has changed.
The game's sound has also gone unchanged. Since it's a sequel, there is some new music here and there, but everything from the voice acting in the game's cutscenes to the brain-teaser music make a lively return, and they definitely go together to bring what's now a seeming authentic Layton experience.
If you were expecting this second entry in the Layton series to go through extraordinary leaps and bounds, which you really should have no business expecting, then you will be horribly disappointed. But if you were expecting another session of tough puzzles with a convincing story, then Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box is every bit as good as The Curious Village and should be more than enough to satisfy your inner detective.

AMSOIL Diesel Recovery
From AMSOIL INC.
Product From AMSOIL INC.
Expand for more details on this Product
- Product From Liqui Moly
Liqui Moly Cera Tec high tech oil additive contains tiny ceramic particles so small that they easily pass the oil filter. These particles adhere to the metal surfaces in the combustion chamber and prevent metal from scratching on metal. The formulation is so strong that this ceramic protection layer survives even oil changes. In addition to this physical protection there is also a chemical protection further reducing the friction in the engine. The engine runs perceptibly smoother. The reduced friction decreases fuel consumption thus reducing pollutant emissions. Reduction of the wear increases engine life and helps prevent engine breakdowns. Liqui Moly Cera Tec can be mixed with all common motor oils.

I'm a new member of this forum It seems a good opportunity to mention that, there's a private non-for-profit organization named "Mars-One" that is planning to send humans to mars by 2025. Mars One has recently contracted Lockheed Martin and SSTL for a conceptual design of lander and comm. satellite mission to mars in 2018 and there's a fundraising campaign... for more info regarding the mission (specially the 2018 mission) follow this link: http://igg.me/at/marsone/x/5968822 It's going to be the first private unmanned mission to mars, if this mission succeeds, we'd have first HD video streams from mars!!! and it's going to be proof of technology of water extraction from martian soil, thin film solar panels, and it's going to do experiments afforded by universities worldwide! |

Deposits of cellulite can be seen in anyone's body irrespective of genetics, eating habits, weight or gender. Women are more prone to this condition of cellulite accumulation as compared to men. Lotions, creams and other treatments available cannot eliminate this pesky problem successfully. However, Cellulaze is an easy and safe option for getting rid of excess cellulite. Benefits include younger and smoother looking skin.
How Cellulaze Cellulite Removal Is Carried Out Cellulaze, a highly advanced device introduced by Cynosure is used for this procedure. Cellulite removal utilizing this innovative device ensures outstanding results that are of a more permanent nature. The surgeon would administer local anesthesia prior to the treatment. This would ensure a comfortable procedure. Small incisions are made through which the surgeon would insert a small cannula that carries a laser fiber. The cellulite deposits are directly targeted by the Nd:YAG 1440 nm laser. The laser energy melts the fat that is accumulated. Next the fibrous bands or the septae, that are beneath the skin and cause the dimpling effect, are thermally subcised. The physiological structure of cellulite is addressed effectively by this Cellulaze laser treatment that has been approved by the FDA. The dermis is also tightened for improved elasticity. Cellulaze treatment utilizes ThermaGuide and SideLight 3D technologies that make sure that the distribution of laser energy is even in all the areas. The melted fat is drained away safely without much discomfort to the patient. What Can Be Expected from This Cellulite Reduction Treatment? Cellulite removal using Cellulaze offers a lot of convenience as it is an outpatient procedure and normally, it requires only a couple of hours. This procedure is safe and effective to smoothen the uneven and bumpy appearance that is caused by cellulite, commonly in the thighs, arms, hips and buttocks. Right from the first session of treatment, visible results are seen. There is improvement in the results over a period of six to twelve months. Since this procedure is a minimally invasive one, only minimal bleeding, scarring or bruising are involved. Moreover, collagen production is boosted along with tissue coagulation for enhancing the elasticity of the skin. The results of this Cellulaze treatment last longer and are more natural in comparison to those offered by traditional options of treatment. Only minimal recovery time is required in this treatment and so, normal activities can be resumed within 2 days. To benefit from the best aesthetic results, have the procedure done by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. Discuss your aesthetic goals with the surgeon and clear any doubts you may have of the procedure. |

Within "Old School" by Tobias Wolff, the narrator reads Ayn Rand's "Fountainhead" numerous times. He can't seem to stop reading it and fantasizes about living his life the way of the main character, Howard Roark. Between a very strong attitude, not giving in to anyone but himself, leading to success as an architect and a lover, Howard Roark is a king. As a teenage boy, the narrator wishes he could be such a hardcore lady-killer. Although, after meeting Rand and hearing her speak about her viewpoints, he begins to see the flaws of objectivism. "It had dawned on me that I didn't really know anyone like Roark or Dominique. Though Ayn Rand insisted that such people existed and that she herself was one, my own experience of them was purely literary" (Wolff 93). After feeling offended that Ayn Rand would misjudge his own family in a distasteful way before even knowing them, the speaker's outlook on objectivism is turned around. He beings to really think through her theory and realizes that in order for everyone to live an objectivist life no one would carry many feelings nor would they be compassionate or considerate. "My first reaction was shock—at her unfairness not only to the writer but to a character for whom I had a greater liking. Wretched eunuch, she'd called Jake Barnes, as if the fact of such a wound, of woundedness itself, made... [continues]

Earth Institute Contact: Dr. Felix Waldhauser
Locations: United States of America
Special Locations:
Northern California, San Francisco Bay Area
We propose to use a recently completed database of cross correlation based differential time measurements to relocate all earthquakes between 1984-2001 in the catalog of the Northern California Earthquake Data Center. The database includes almost 3 billion highly accurate differential times for P- and S- waves. The P-wave differential times are typically on the order of a factor of ten to a hundred times more accurate than those obtained from routinely picked phase onsets. S-waves are not routinely picked at the Northern California Seismic Network because of their generally weak onset. Approximately 90% of the seismicity includes events that have cross-correlation coefficients of CC>0.7, with at least one other event recorded at four or more stations. We therefore expect substantial improvement in hypocenter locations across northern California using these new data. We will parallelize the double-difference algorithm hypoDD to relocate the events on a massive scale on a 64 processor Linux cluster. Being able to relocate earthquakes on a massive scale it is often possible to reveal new features in the data, or to perform more comprehensive analyses of problems that were previously addressed on smaller scales. We will initially focus on using the new high-resolution catalog to investigate the presence or absence of characteristic seismicity patterns such as streaks and repeating events indifferent tectonic regions across northern California in order to understand their origin, their implication on the process of faulting, and their relevance in estimating hazard.
The proposed work and subsequent analysis contributes to Regional Area 2 (Northern California), including the highly urbanized, greater San Francisco Bay region and to EHP Element III (Earthquake physics). It addresses the NC research priorities by enhancing the capabilities of seismic monitoring and by contributing to our understanding of fault mechanics, the estimation of fault slip rates, and the role of fault creep. We will release the high-resolution catalog upon completion of the project, providing the scientific community with new data to address many key scientific issues important to the NEHRP program. We regard this project as the second stop in a three step approach to improve earthquake locations in Northern California; Step 1 (completed): Improvement of seismic arrival time data; Step 2 (this proposal): Relocation of the historic catalog; Step 3: Incorporation of the new procedures into routine catalog production. Funding to carry out step 3, in collaboration with the NCSN/CISN, will be requested at a later stage.
