Posted: 10:59 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, 2013
By Rick Cassano
There was never any question in Allen Roberts' mind.
Roberts sank both ends of the 1-and-1 with 7.5 seconds left Saturday night as the Miami University men's basketball team, which blew a 21-point lead in the last 10-plus minutes, topped Buffalo 58-57 at Alumni Arena.
"I'm going to make the free throws," said Roberts, who was asked what he was thinking at the charity stripe. "That's what we do every day. We went over today in the shootaround, and when we were shooting our free throws, coach said, 'No talking.' So I knew I was going to make them."
Roberts drove to the basket and was fouled by Auraum Nuiriankh after MU's Quinten Rollins had his shot blocked moments earlier.
Roberts, a redshirt junior from Middletown, brought an 87.3 free-throw percentage into the contest and was 4 of 5 in the game.
"That last 10 minutes was a slump, and we had to fight through adversity," Roberts said. "I wanted to step on their throat. It's just that things don't go your way all the time. We knew it wasn't going to be an easy path to beat Buffalo on the road. It's hard to win on the road period."
The Bulls roared back with their inside game, powered by Javon McCrea and Cameron Downing, and the RedHawks didn't have a field goal in the final 10:19.
"I think it was just a reality check. We needed to play harder," McCrea said of falling behind 54-33. "We kind of forced them to do what we wanted them to do. We were really determined to actually win the game. I think we stopped thinking about the scoreboard and started playing."
RedHawks coach John Cooper credited UB for its comeback and felt his squad got a bit complacent.
"It was almost as if we were just trying to protect the lead instead of closing out the game, which in many ways is a natural thing when you get a lead of that nature," Cooper said. "Then of course Uncle Mo got on their side. They were getting the ball inside. More importantly, I thought what they did best was they really started attacking us on the offensive glass."
Buffalo had a 34-28 advantage on the boards. Miami's top two rebounders were guards Reggie Johnson and Rollins with four apiece.
No time to party: MU's lead was still in double digits when Cooper saw something he didn't want to see during a timeout.
"I see our guys jumping and the stuff this generation does … don't get me started," Cooper said. "I'm sitting there yelling as they're coming because the game isn't over. So many times I think people start celebrating things that aren't winning things. To me, the time to celebrate is when you've won."
It was still a victory on the road, and Miami hadn't won in Buffalo since Feb. 16, 2008. The RedHawks are 2-6 away from Millett Hall this season.
"I'm proud of our guys," Cooper said. "I'm proud that they were able to just hang in there and get a road win."
Notebook: Drew McGhee and Geovonie McKnight chipped in seven and six points, respectively, for MU and combined to hit 4 of 7 field goals and 5 of 6 free throws. … Saturday's attendance was 3,284. … Will Sullivan paced the RedHawks in assists (four) and steals (two). … Miami's Jon Harris played just seven minutes off the bench and made his only shot, a 3-pointer.

Getting country house hospitality perfectly right in the Lake District
fishing for brown trout in the hotel's very own tarn.
Something that strikes you about Linthwaite House in the Lake District is the unyielding passion owner Mike Bevans has for his 30-bedroom slice of the dream. And it's infectious! There's those Lake Windermere vistas (over to Belle Isle) for starters and endless acres of flowering garden and woodland as well as a nine-hole putting green and par three practice hole. Inside, showroom-perfect bedrooms and a seriously good restaurant seal the deal. So centrally located at the heart of England, Linthwaite is a prime spot. Walkers love it here (fell trails begin from the front door) while culture vultures can follow in the footsteps of William Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter. But stepping out of Linthwaite's cosseting world isn't easy. By marrying on-trend interior fashions with homely comfort (very House & Garden) and providing the best of traditional hospitality, you never want to leave! The implausibly pretty lake, garden and fell views from most of the bedrooms keep you rooted to the cushioned spot too. If you've reserved the popular Luxury Lake View Room with outside hot tub, just try and remember to keep a check on the time. It would be a crying shame to miss out on Linthwaite's modern British food prepared from nothing but fresh, local produce. The list of fine wines is equally impressive.

Towards a Hermeneutics of "Woo!" and "Hoo!"
Posted: February 19, 2012 Filed under: Discovery, Enthusiasms | Tags: hangover, hermeneutics 3 CommentsIn the United States, the nonsense exclamation "Woo!" is often used to proclaim the pleasures of drunkenness. While largely female in usage, not a negligible amount of men employ a robust "Woo!" to signal that the sheet is aloft and caught in a fulsome wind.
Less known, and more useful, is the nonsense syllable "Hoo!" which, when properly and enthusiastically sounded, serves as a palliative for a hangover.
"Hoo!" a fellow exclaims, sitting up in bed, his head wrapped in a pillow. "This is a remarkable hangover!"
The hangover is greeted warmly, embraced, and, so celebrated, subsides. Variants of "Hoo!" are also effective—"Hoo Boy," for instance, or "Haroooah!"

United States Senator
October 16, 2003
Statement of Chairman Orrin G. Hatch
Before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary
Executive Business Meeting
On S. 1545, The DREAM Act
Each year, about fifty thousand young undocumented immigrants graduate from high school in the United States. Most of them came to this country with their parents as small children and have been raised here just like their U.S. citizen classmates. Many of them view themselves as Americans, and are loyal to our country. They did not make the initial decision to enter the United States illegally, and some may not even realize that they are here in violation of our immigration laws. They grow up to become honest and hardworking adolescents and young adults, and strive for academic as well as professional excellence.
Many of these youngsters find themselves caught in a catch-22 situation. As illegal immigrants, they cannot work legally. They are also effectively barred from developing academically beyond high school because of the high cost of pursuing higher education. We have a choice to either keep these talented young people underground, or give them a chance to contribute to the United States. I believe that our laws should not discourage those with bright young minds from seeking higher education. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act, or DREAM Act will be a vehicle to obtain higher education, or otherwise realize their full potential.
To qualify for initial conditional status, which is good for six years, an applicant under the DREAM Act must have been in the United States for at least 5 years prior to enactment, and had to be younger than 16 years old at the time of enactment. In addition, only those who have stayed away from crime and who, with few exceptions, are admissible under our immigration laws, may apply.
During this 6-year period, the applicant must accomplish one of several objectives. The applicant may obtain an associate's or trade school degree, complete two years in a bachelor's program or higher, serve honorably in the military, or perform volunteer community service. Moreover, throughout the entire 6-year period, the applicant must maintain a clean record and stay off public assistance.
Additionally, the DREAM Act removes the statutory restrictions for states to decide to whom they grant in-state tuition benefits, including those who are without lawful immigration status. The DREAM Act does not compel the states to grant in-state tuition benefits to illegal immigrants, but it returns the prerogative to the states.
Much of the criticism against the DREAM Act is due to a misunderstanding of the legislation. The DREAM Act benefits more than just the illegal immigrant community. Instead, it benefits American society in general. First, as a nation, we cannot select a better group of immigrants to become part of our society. By definition, DREAM Act beneficiaries are those who have clean records, likely to be loyal to the United States, and well educated. Second, some proponents of strict immigration enforcement argue that the DREAM Act will encourage illegal entry into the United States. However, the DREAM Act was carefully drafted to avoid this precise problem. Because the bill limits eligibility to those who entered the United States five years or more prior to the bill's enactment. It applies to a limited number of people who have already resided in the United States for at least five years and who have demonstrated favorable equities in and significant ties to the United States. Anyone who entered the United States less than five years prior to the enactment of this bill or who plans to illegally enter the United States in the future will NOT be covered by the DREAM Act.
In addition to helping ambitious young men and women who have prepared themselves to attend college or otherwise make contributions to the United States, it also offers hope to youngsters who must decide whether they will stay in school or drop out. With the hope of realizing their dream, these young people are more likely to remain in school. According to a RAND study, an average immigrant who completes college will earn $13,500 more annually than her counterpart who drops out of high school. As such, the DREAM Act will not only directly improve the quality of life of its beneficiaries, but will also benefit the overall American economy by significantly increasing spending and investment from these immigrants.
Immigration enforcement is a serious matter. The consequence of illegal entry or overstaying a visa should be deportation. Illegal immigrants who elude authorities should not be rewarded with a blanket amnesty. However, America must shape its immigration policy based upon our overall national interest and common sense. With the DREAM Act, we can extend a welcoming hand, guided by specific and rigorous standards, to those whose presence will benefit our country.

It would appear that HP's Pavilion Elite desktop series might be suffering from a major design flaw, as users flock to the company's support forum with complaints. A thread pertaining to Pavilion Elite issues currently spans 112 pages, and has accumulated over a thousand posts. Owners of systems within the Elite line report excessive lock ups, freezing, and BSODs.
While HP's message board shows a scattered selection of models, someone who has experienced issues with three specific configurations contacted us a short while ago. That reader reports constant freezing and blue screens with both a Core i7 920 and 950-equipped e9150t, as well as the e9180t with an i7 975. HP's corporate offices have given the reader a cold shoulder despite several attempts to call, email and fax, and the company's technical support denies knowledge of any broad problem with the Elite range.
Some have speculated that the issues stem from a motherboard defect -- quite possible -- but after contacting Pegatron (Asus' OEM manufacturing unit), the reader received no answers and was passed back to HP. One fact is clear: HP has a lot of angry customers with faulty systems. We are trying to get in touch with HP and will update the story if we hear back.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
Glad I don't own anything HP, also glad I build my own systems. Feel bad for the people stuck in that situation, I can see this leading to lawsuit possibly which would be a good way to get HP to open their eyes.
HP's Pavillion Elite desktop microATX tower comes with a whopping 460W power supply. For those of you who don't know anything 460W isn't %@&$ when it comes to powering a Core i7 computer. Weak sauce, no wonder their computers are blue-screening.
It's not the motherboard's fault, it's the weak PSU. Also, for those of you who even know what a PSU *is* ... don't forget that capacitors lose their efficiency over time! 1 year old power supply running 24/7 can lose up to 35% of it's capacity.
HP &%$#-ed up ... no ASUS
Good Luck to all. I have a top of the line home office HP all-in-one printer and I've had to deal with their support on 4 separate issues dating back over 2 years. HP has given me workarounds and excuses. I've yet to see an update to the drivers or software for my printer. I regret buying the thing.
I've seen enough complaints and quirks about HP to cause me to think of them as too risky to spend money on.
Sounds like a repeat of the attitude they took with the nvidia /laptop and vid card problems of not long ago. I certainly hope they treat customers better this time around. I wish there were a way to really have it bit them in the sales pocket if it doesn't but everything is so price driven that unless a product / company totally fails a lot, and I do mean a lot of their customers they are really immune to the negative effects of people reporting their negative experiences with a product.
This issue with all models of HP Core i7 systems is not caused by the power supply, some customers have already swapped out their 460W PSU for an 850W and it made no difference. The common factor in all models is the Pegatron IPMTB-TK motherboard.
460W inadequate for Core i7? Depends on what's in the rest of the system. Plenty of i7 systems running fine on 350W PSU's (just ask Dell). Check your facts. Lack of wattage is not the problem here, especially the way that HP's non-overclocking systems are configured.
HP computers are all a bunch of crap. No surprise here.
I have owned two of the 9180 series HP i750 pcs and I returned them both for a refund. I was completely disappointed with the after-sale 'support' or more appropriately 3rd-world, 4th-class support. Case managers were clueless and non-sympathetic. While many users are suggesting possible class action, the only winners in this mess will be people who are fortunate enough to dodge the HP bullet and obtain equipment elsewhere.
It's hard to imagine a company the size and scope of HP ignoring a problem this serious. They won't even acknowledge it IS a problem publicly - why do they ignore the thousand plus posts on their own HP FORUM? Why not post a message from the president or some other high-ranking official offering 100% refunds or exchange to those folks who got burned by this?
It's a case of corporate denial. They get farther and make more revenue if they never 'blink'. It will take media pressure and/or legal methods most probably to get them off the dime on this one.
My dad got a bad AMD quad core chip in a HP PC he purchased a while ago. After getting no good response from HP, he gave me the computer and bought an Apple PC instead. I know it was a bad CPU, because when I replaced it with an upgraded CPU, everything was fine.
Given their track record, I'm staying away from HP. they just won't stand behind their products.
The highest TDP of any of the i7s is 130W Max (the ones HP uses are prob 95W), so as long as you aren't putting in multiple high end video cards (or maybe just 1 high end with several other things) a good quality 460W PSU should be ok. Whether HP uses good quality ones or not I don't know..
If I am not mistaking HP had issues with the Pegatron mobos in some of their latest high-end laptops as well.
Users who have replaced the power supply with high quality RAM & PSU report that it does not correct the problem. Others have tried swapping video cards. Others have tried every available driver, and alternate Operating Systems. The bottom line, the Core i7 HP line still freezes up or BSOD after a cold start.
Check out this video:
You bet we are all complaining, the worst part is the cold shoulder. Almost everyone in there is an HP fan and why they would take such an approach is shocking. Please folks keep hammering its the only way when they won't listen.

My computer has crashed 20 times in 1 week you bet this is going back in a box to hp.
I bought it for music production and recording and it cant even burn a cd without crashing!
internet explorer locks up and freezes
Adobe audition crashes and BSOD.
System recovery twice with no problems
Hardware diagnostic passes with flying colors
BUT the computer cannot do everyday tasks without catastrophic crashing around every turn.
i never thought i'd say it but DUDE i'm gettin a dell!
its good to build your own pc if one has the knowledge.
going for these branded stuffs and facing problems is annoying.in the above case u solve ur problems yourself because u know everything about ur rig.
I bought this Pegatron IPMBT-TK mother board. It is the same one in all tha bad HP units... So I am told. I have never had a problem with it. But then I always build my own machines. The board is in the high end HP's but maybe they have the wrong stuff in them. And even if the puchasers send them back they will never know if HP's techs ever even looked at the machines before the send them back to them. Bad for HP and bad for those who buy there machines ready made. With all the complaints I got the board at a steal of a price and this machine is a unstoppable beast. No bios updates and no returns... right out of the bubble wrap she hit the ground running. I've never seen the BSOD on this machine ever. Though it handles everything and smiles back at me with a hungry grin I'm going to over clock it just for kicks. Good luck to you guys with the troubles... I sorry to hear about your mess with HP.
I have one of these faulty models (e9150t) and it freezes or locks up on me periodically. My only solution has been to unplug the machine and start anew, losing whatever I was working on, up to the point of my last save. I wasn't expecting this from a new machine. Are there any fixes?
I own the m9600t and have these same problems. It got so bad after months of repeatedly having to rebuild that the motherboard completely died. Finally after 2 days on the phone HP agrees there is a problem (yes, seriously it took that long).
HP replaced it. Same problems with the new one.
It's not the power supply. The very first thing I did when I got the PC new was to put in a high quality power supply.
It's not the operating system. I put in a brand new hard drive and installed windows 7 clean install about 5 days ago. It worked great until today - and then the same exact freezing - can't recognize any keyboard mouse - can't shutdown - can't boot corruption problem happened last night.
I'm so fed up I'm thinking of just buying a replacement and tossing my $1000 out the window in this piece of junk. I've definitely wasted more than $1000 of my time.

Another disgruntled customer here with a DOA HP e9150t. Blue screen, non-working usb ports. Never worked out of the box. I am returning mine for repair. I filed a complaint with the FTC. Knowingly selling defective products is against the law. Shame on you HP!! Seems like the complaints started pouring in around July 2009. Bought mine in August.
Just in case people read this thread and think it's old news...
I bought my HP Pavillion Elite m9600t in April and I'm still having problems. I've spent at least 20 hours on the phone with 'HP Total Care', talked to 15 different 'tech support' people, been assigned 3 case Managers for the 3 different times I've sent it in for repair and all I want is my money back. They have replaced the motherboard and Blu-ray disc player twice, but if they keep replacing it with the same defective parts - it really doesn't help me any.
My last Case Manager said I could get a replacement model or pro-rated return since I've had the computer for so long! I reported my first problem 6 weeks after owning this very expensive computer and I've been troubleshooting issues ever since. I think HP owes me money.
There is still not root cause and they keep renaming their models so people can't Google the existing threads. If you go to the HP Support Forum under Lockups, Freezes, & Hangs you can see a 345 page post (3,443 posts) started by Cee-Cee in July 2009. http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Lockups-Freezes-Hangs/Elite-e91

Thanks for the update Guest! Let us know how things turn out.
It is not just their pc's but also the notebooks the quality of materials* used to build is considerably less now than ever before; and having gone through various posts here I think it will be prudent to conclude that one can't advise anyone to buy HP any more.
*case in point my HP DV5-1125 its chassis flexes a lot for my liking; the dvd-rw is crappy and make lots of funny noises when working ...... battery well it was giving problem when it came out of the box.
Woe unto HP and their terrible post-sales support!
HP is a shares holders company. theres no such thing as quality anymore. they will cut corners put cheap parts in computers,your tech support goes to india to someone reading a script off a screen. i feel bad for anyone buying HP product, the company made its $ now it dosnt care. i bought a HP laptop it burnt out in 3 months they did nothing for me. quality is non-exsistant
boycott HP and never buy their products again
DON"T BUY HP!!!! have brand new! desktop pavillion and had nothing but trouble with since,now is just 2 months old and has hard disk failure imminent and unusable, still waiting for tech to replace hard drive, i figured being so new i may get replacement, hp have done nothing to help so i wait here still for repair.
signed ****** off beyond belief!!!!
Tina. firstname.lastname@example.com
I have an hp laptop with the corei7 that was garbage out of the box and I sent it in for repair and it came back worse than before I sent it in so I requested a refund and now hp will not return calls. Has been escalated 3 times with the promise of a callback in 24-48 hours but its been a month...still no calls from HP. I will be writing a letter to HP, better business bureau(I know, futile) my states attorney generals office and anyone else I can think of. I just want a machine that will work better than my old toshiba celeronM 1.47 ghz! Its a shame I have to keep using that old $300 laptop when I paid over $1000 for the new HP!!!
I've been dealing with a bad HP Pavilion e9180t since fall of 2009. Right out of the box it crashed with a BSOD part way through the first boot into Windows Vista. It then continued to blue screen every half hour or so until I shut down all power management that I could in Vista. That reduced the blue screens to one every couple of hours or so. The Bios is useless and has no power management ACPI options at all. I tried sending it to HP for service. HP's repair amounted to only formating the drive to the original image and returning it with the same problems, so I decided to explore fixing it myself by going to Windows 7 in case it was a Vista issue. I upgraded it to Windows 7. This helped a little and the BSOD frequency reduced to once a day, unless my wife goes on Facebook in which case it crashes every half hour again. With this said...I've noticed that frequent variation in processor load from idle to moderate (as happens with Facebook) makes things worse.
The most common Blue-screen error is "A clock interupt was not received on a secondary processor within allocated time interval". Windows just memory dumps to protect itself. I suspect that maybe the Motherboard has trouble with power regulation during high speed load rep-rates or trouble speedsteping the cores on and off due to load variation. I'v invested hundreds of hours troubleshooting... everything points to the MB. After removing most of the HP fluff software things did improve a bit, but I still get a BSOD every few hours of use.
HP tech support never acknowledges the possibility of a hardware issue since the machine passes all of their hardware diagnostics. They've asked me to return the machine again in order to re-format it back to Vista. It's still under warranty, but I hesitate returning it again to just repeat the same path and have to spend more time getting the software back to how I had it. Even if HP does replace the MB, I'm worried that they'll just replace it with a refurbished "Truckee 1.04" that has the same problem or worse.
Another box arrived today from HP to return this nightmare back for service, but I've lost all trust in them. Maybe I should just replace the MB myself with a good hobbyist brand and forget HP. After this experience HP just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I have some good news for any folks still struggling with Blue Sceen crashes with their HP I7 machines that us the Pegatron IPMTB-TK (alias Truckee-UL8E 1.04) motherboards. I've live with these constant crashes since day one as stated in my previous post. HP refuses to change the motherboard, stating that the machine passes their diagnostics. All I can say is that their diagnostics are poor and don't do CPU load testing. I believe that the problem is due to a poor motherboard power management design and/or motherboard PC layout. The motherboard can't handle any CPU load variation that forces core parking. I was able to prove this by turning off core parking. It eliminated all crashes and finally make the machine stable. All that I had to do was make a simple registry edit that prevents core parking.
With 100% core parking allowed (the Windows 7 default) my HP Pavilion Elite e9180t machine crashed ( with BSOD) whenever anything caused any significant CPU load variation (also know as high rep. rate). Something as simple as going on Facebook with IE and playing one of their mindless games would cause a certain crash within a half-hour or so. Turning core parking to 0% in the registry eliminated all crashes. My machine has been crash free since I made the registry edit. Many BIOS's settings allow turning off Speedstep and Turbo which should have the same effect, but the Truckee-UL8E has no power management settings at all. Fortunately, a Win 7 regestry Key edit does the same thing.
Check out the following link: http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?m=1861804
--Above link provides the following simple instructions on turning-off Win 7 Core Parking:
"In short, here is the better method from sky60234:-
- Go to Regedit
- Find this key:- " 0cc5b647-c1df-4637-891a-dec35c318583 "
- Within this key, there is a value called: " ValueMax "
- This value represents the % number of cores the system will park - the default 100% ie: all Cores are potentially park-able
- Change the value from 64 to 0 so the " ValueMin " and " ValueMax " are both zero
- You will have to find the key a few times and repeat the process for each time it is found - the number of instances will depend on the number of power profiles in your system [ in my DAW it was only found twice ]
- Do a full shutdown and power-off and cold-re-start
-----------Now my machine is stable... no thanks to HP. The extra heating from turning-off the core parking is insigificant. The core temperatures stay around 40C. It just sucks up a little more power...not green as HP advertizes. I hope this works for others and proves to HP that it is a motherboard issue...

Recipe by LILBUGGER71
"This is a sweet tasting salad that is perfect for spring and summer outings."
Watch video tips and tricks
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1 dash Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1 quart strawberries
2 romaine hearts, chopped into bite size pieces
WONDERFUL! i did two things differently - one was to add more almonds. (the lT of butter was enough to accomodate another l/4 cup of almonds), and i added sugar to the butter. gave the almonds a caramelized taste.
This salad is sooooo good! I have made it on 2 occasions. Everyone loves it and wants the recipe. Thanks!
33 Ratings
I substituted spinache leaves (which were on sale) and added some left-over roasted chicken. I am super-picky about salad dressings, and this is definitely a make-again! I think that the secret is finding really sweet strawberries.
Great recipe. When I make it I just throw in raw almonds or pecans. Whatever nuts you have on hand. I also use spinach sometimes. Instead of sugar, I substitute Splenda, and I use a light rice vinegar for the dressing. My family loves it.
We went to a dinner party and I was suppose to bring a green salad. This was a hit. Presentation was great and tasted even better. I only put half of the recipes dressing on it but it was still a bit much for our taste. Next time will put less.
Good. The dressing was better than I originally thought (after sitting), though there is quite a bit too much. I added yellow peppers because I had some - and would definitely do add-ins again. Thanks!
My family loved this strawberry salad and requested the recipe. I will experiment with it as others have suggested when I try it again, maybe mandarin oranges, or fresh grapes.
Really good. Not FANTASTIC, but really good! Needed to add a pinch of Kosher salt after the salad was tossed though. I may try adding some shaved parmesan next time, or maybe mandarin oranges if I prefer to stay on with the "sweet" flavor profile. Was a great way to use some of the romaine from our garden & leftover strawberries we were almost tired of!

Waring Pro Toaster Oven and Toaster
Looks nice, but....
I was very excited to find this combo toaster over/toaster as it was just the right size to fit into the "appliance garage" on my kitchen counter....but it ends there. The first time I used it, it took 45 minutes to roast pine nuts! I kept turning up the heat to hurry it along, but to no avail. I finally gave up and served the dish without the nuts. The next morning I tried the toaster side with 2 pieces of whole wheat toast. After 3 toastings, the bread was barely warm and would not melt butter. I tried the oven one more time to reheat some leftovers and gave up after 20 minutes and used the microwave. Some of the reviews have stated that this oven is slow to heat but I couldn't get it to heat at all. Will be returning....and continuing to look for something that works.

Waring Pro
My toaster oven was a replacement unit. I have limited counter space so it is great , both units in one... toaster oven & a toaster. It is rated at 1500 watts so little long on the toaster... but it works good.
I looked at units with 1800 watts; however, no side toaster.

A popup toaster at last!
I need a toaster oven. My husband wants a popup toaster. At last an appliance that pleases both of us. And only one appliance! Less countertop clutter. A truly unique piece for the kitchen.
February 24, 2014
I just purchased the Waring Pro Toaster and Toaster Oven Combination-
It is WONDERFUL!!!!!!!
I purchased one, and the slide down toaster mechanism didn't work, it wouldn't stay down, but I called FrontGate and they sent me a new one the same day! I love it!!!!! IT works great, looks great, and saves a lot of space on the counter!

nice toasteroven/toaster
I purchased this because I needed a new toasted and also wanted a toaster over so I did not have to use my over for small items.
This is great for both, very attractive and serves both purposes.
Only negative is the oven part is small and you need to be careful with what you put in it. There is a heating coil on top and bottom and they both heat up.
With the small oven space the items can brown very quickly with the top heating element so close to your food. I cooked egg rolls and they were burning on the outside before the inside was done.

I have been looking for a toaster like this for a long time. Its the best of both worlds with out taking up all your counter space. Works great, look nice. Love it

Very Slow
The toaster side of the oven is great. Extra large openings for bagels, even a bagel setting. However, the oven is VERY slow. My full size oven warms up faster. The tray barely fits in the interior space. I'm exchanging it for something else. I would not recommend this item for anyone. However, once I contacted Frontgate they were very helpful. It was a gift and they were able to look up our information and allow the exchange. Great customer service.

Toaster Works Poorly
I bought this a while ago, and have finally decided to write a review to warn others off. The biggest issue for me is that the toaster heating elements are very slow and do not toast evenly. One side might be toasted and the other is simply warm. The oven is small and slow to heat up, too. I agree with others that this is the worst product I have purchased from Frontgate. I wish I had sent it back.

As I work in the press, I'm always quick to defend journalists, especially against the stereotype that they "make things up".
It is true, though, that facts can be shaped to fit an agenda, and also that whenever there are two or more sides to a story, a journalist can take whichever side best fits his remit. But they can't simply make things up.
For a start, it's against the law. If a newspaper prints a story about a person or event, and cannot prove that it is true if required to do so, then it will face penalties.
Take, for example, the 2004 case of the Daily Mirror's publication of photos which apparently showed British soldiers abusing an Iraqi captive. Desperate for a sensational scoop, The Mirror didn't check the authenticity of the pictures, which were later proven to be fake. The result – editor Piers Morgan was fired.
So, a publication really can't "make things up" without risking personal, political or financial repercussions. However, that's not to say it never happens. While I may be quick to defend the press against this stereotype, at the same time I am quick to criticise journalists who do contribute to it.
Of course, they're all out for a good story, and they all dream of that sensational scoop. Fair enough. But if it isn't there, you shouldn't force it to be there. Don't create a sensation where one does not exist, and do not add details that don't exist for the sake of adding character or credence to the story. In other words, don't make it up.
So, while I'm often quick to defend journalists, by the same token I believe those who are guilty of passing off fantasies as facts, or who use creative licence to such a degree that they are no longer writing non-fiction, should be named and shamed.
By all means have a stance, an agenda. We all have our remits and our biases; this is human nature, as well as the nature of the media. But the points used to engender a stance must at least have grounds in reality, or else you risk damaging your own reputation, as well as that of your employer.
When it comes to sensationalism, Bangkok is an easy target. Even people who have never been here will have their opinions about it, right or wrong, mostly formed from the movies and the lurid tales that their friends bring home from their holidays.
Much of it is exaggerated, but not outrageously so. The real Bangkok is variously exotic, steamy, sexy, dangerous, chaotic, cultured, corrupt. The city's reputation precedes it, and in many ways it is justified. The possibilities for an investigative journalist are endless.
Which makes it all the more unforgiveable when one writes a piece that is so ludicrously overblown, and in which the "facts" are so easily debunked by anyone with even the most passing experience in Bangkok, that it calls into question whether the writer has even visited the city.
The story in question appears here. Note that is not the work of a ranting blogger or an enthusiastic but undertrained freelancer.
No, it is an article published by Maxim, one of the world's leading glossy men's magazines, and attributed to a scribe called Mark Ebner, who, apparently "has been covering crime and Hollywood for 20 years".
The piece is a follow-up on the shadowy death of David Carradine in a Bangkok hotel room last June. (Unfortunately the article was only recently brought to my attention.) Carradine's passing, whether suicide, murder, or sex games gone wrong, was the ideal backdrop to a piece of investigative reportage from one of the world's most infamous sin cities.
It could have been done so well. But Ebner apparently visited a Bangkok that, in cultural terms, hasn't existed since the 70s, and in geographical terms, doesn't exist at all! His sense of geography makes you wonder if indeed he'd even physically set foot in the city.
The creative licence used to colour his adventures are so far-fetched that an article with such potential loses all credibility – and even if (and I don't) that could be justified as merely an application of the art, what can't be forgiven, especially for such a prestigious magazine, are the atrocious geographical errors which riddle the piece, followed by the downright irresponsible reports of child prostitution.
At best, this writer simply wasn't paying attention when here. At worst, perhaps Ebner didn't even travel to Bangkok at all.
You can read the full article at Maxim.Com but for your convenience, here are some selected passages.
… wasn't it a little too convenient that such a sordid suicide should take place in Bangkok, the sex capital of the world?
Ebner sets out his stall early. Yes, Bangkok has a deserved reputation for its vice, but sex capital of the world? OK, it's up there in the rankings, for sure, but even within the same country, Pattaya is by far the more notorious, and within the region Phnom Penh is just as infamous, with a darker tone, too.
I'm not saying the writer is essentially wrong in his description of Bangkok – after all, how would you measure such a thing? – but I have the feeling that if Carradine had died in Amsterdam, the same writer would have applied the same label there.
… a teeth-rattling cab ride through the smog-choked, sweltering squalor of metro Bangkok, dodging rickshaws and limbless sidewalk cripples begging for change.
Teeth-rattling? Bangkok's – and, in fact, most of Thailand's - roads are flat and paved and have been for some time.
Squalour? Yes, there are slums in Bangkok, but an average crosstown cab ride doesn't even come close to them. Large parts of Bangkok are modern and well-maintained.
Dodging rickshaws? Rickshaws? Did Ebner board a time machine rather than a commercial airline, and land in Bangkok 1974 rather than Suvarnabhumi Airport? Hands up anyone who's seen a rickshaw in modern-day Bangkok. Anyone? OK, in the last decade? Two? Anyone at all? Thought so.
Smog, sweltering temperatures and "limbless cripples" (even though that is an excellent example of tautology, and since he says they were on the sidewalk, why was his cab forced to dodge them?), I'll give him. But already we can see the writer is more concerned with painting an atmosphere to suit the story, rather than "follow in Carradine's footsteps", as he claims is his mission.
A vast open-air sex market, the Patpong is a 20-minute walk from the hotel…
Ebner's description of his adventures in Bangkok's red light districts are where he really gets lost. "The" Patpong? Nobody calls it "the" Patpong any more than people call London's red light district "the" Soho.
A "vast, open-air sex market"? Well, I won't dispute the "sex market" description, but that side of things is far from open-air. Patpong's sex – and sale of such – goes on behind the doors of bars and massage parlours, not in the street. True, street walkers do ply their trade in Bangkok, but Patpong's set-up is primarily indoors. There is an open-air market in Patpong, though – only it sells bootlegged clothes and watches, not sex.
Furthermore, to walk from the Nai Lert Park Hotel to Patpong – and good luck with that, given that one thing the author accurately conveys is the city's heat and humidity – would probably take over an hour, not a mere 20 minutes.
The Patpong is divided into Soi 4, which is predominantly gay; Soi Cowboy, a note-perfect re-creation of pre-Disney Times Square, designed to cater to the Western tourist; and Nana Plaza, which is where they keep the kink.
OK, now he's really lost me. For a start, Patpong, Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza are three entirely different, and distinct, places, all separated by distances that require taxi rides or skytrain/subway runs. There's no possible way anyone could mistake them being one and the same – unless, perhaps, they hadn't even set foot in Bangkok and research for the article consisted of Googling "Bangkok red light district"?
Finally, is Nana Plaza really where they "keep the kink"? If so, would those in the know care to share this information with me? (We'll discuss the kickback later.) Because as far as I can tell, all three red light areas offer much the same fare of standard hostess bars and go-go joints. Now, if women dancing in bikinis or fawning over middle-aged men is "the kink", then so be it, but personally it takes a bit more than that to shock me.
Looking for answers at the dodgy Nana Hotel, I meet a striking-looking child bride…
This is where Ebner goes beyond mere inaccuracy and enters dangerous irresponsibility. In painting his lurid picture of the supposed world's sex capital, he couldn't resist throwing into the mix a predictable dose of paedophilia.
Let me make this clear: in almost two years living in Bangkok, not once have I seen anything that even hinted at child prostitution. Unfortunately there was once a time when Thailand was on the map for such things, but like the author's experiences with rickshaws, that is something that was left behind decades ago.
Now, I'm not naive enough to think it doesn't happen somewhere, but the point is that the average tourist is not going to walk into one of Bangkok's most famous and busiest streets and be propositioned by a child, just like that.
I do not spend a lot of time in Patpong, but I have been there enough times to comment on it, and as said, if I haven't seen such things in my two years here, I very much doubt this writer would have within a day of arrival.
For the record, while prostitution remains technically illegal in Thailand, it is tolerated and well-regimented, and the working girls in the bars are all 20 and older – and have the ID to prove it. It is more than a bar's business is worth to break such serious laws.
Thailand has worked hard to cast off its reputation as a child sex destination and this article sets back such efforts. If it was an expose, detailing how such practices continue, then it might have had merit, but coming as it does in the midst of an article strewn with inaccuracies and sensationalism, then we have to take it for what it appears to be: rubbish.
…but for 10,000 baht (roughly $300 in U.S. currency) she will come back to my hotel…
At anything from five to 10 times the going rate, this guy's Googling hit on the wrong info. Unless he really was here, and was quoted that, which I suppose would be possible if he showed as much cluelessness in his interactions as he does in his writing – Bangkok's ladies of the night can spot a sucker coming a mile off (or even a "20-minute walk" away).
Mr Ebner, come on, this is not rural North Korea or a far-flung Pacific island. You can't write wildly fanciful things about the capital city of a country which attracts over a million tourists a year and has a population of eight million people, with a large, English-speaking expat population, and expect to get away with it.
Thankfully the comments added to the article call him to task, but so far neither the man himself nor the commissioning magazine have responded.

The author responds to Bangkok Post sub-editor, Oliver Fennell:
It really is amusing to see the outrage coming at me about the Maxim story, especially when it's spearheaded by a "colleague." I come from a place where we in the ink trade try to help each other out rather than tear each other down, but, with you, I'll bite. Do I think the story is perfect? Hell no. They never are. I was in town for three short days, and did the best I could in a strange city. Sure, there were some factual errors in what made it to the printed page, but nothing more egregious than my editor swapping out "tuk tuks" for "rickshaws." Hell, I caught that one myself.
The other BIG issue for you seems to be with my sense of local geography. Sorry man, but I walked from the Nai Lert Park Hotel down Telegraph to and around the places described (Patpong, Nana, Cowboy) in an evening – and I passed embassies on the way. I may be off in distances traveled and the time it took to walk from one place to another, but really – so what?
What else? The "penis shrine" in the room. It should be clear that I was quoting your coroner on that one, and that I knew of the actual shrine outside the hotel. I described it straight away in my piece.
I think I've addressed the issues leading the outraged posse to claim that I wasn't even there, and am left with the feeling that you all are just taking an American journalist pissing on your town a little too personally.
Don't like my prose? I'm honored that you took the time to respond to it. Anger is a valid response to my journalism, but riddle me the irony of the guy trying to sell me the Carradine morgue photos BEING ON STAFF AT YOUR NEWSPAPER. Think hard on that before you start banging me on ethics, friend. And if you see "Bangkok Dan" around town, tell him I think he's a pussy for trying to back-flip off of his on the record taped quotes, put down in perfect context. I promised him nothing in exchange for the interview (not a bottle – nothing) and actually thought he was a nice guy until I read his bullshit comments.
Anyway Oliver, there's your response. Feel free to share it with the posse.
I wish you continued success and joy,
Mark Ebner
Comment by Mark Ebner January 28, 2010 @ 11:09 pmThank you for responding.
First of all, I have no ill will towards you as "an American journalist pissing on your town a little too personally." It's merely as I say: journalists getting FACTS wrong – deliberately or otherwise – gives us all a bad name. I agree in principle that us "colleagues" should help each other, but not to the point of tolerating practises which harm the trade.
A copy editor changing something, I can accept. It can happen to anybody. And also I can believe you walked around town, as uncomfortable as it may have been. That in itself that is to be applauded because the best way to get a feel for a city is at ground level.
However, it remains that you made some huge errors and to simply dismiss them with a "but really – so what" does you no favours. You may argue it's not important, and to the readers who have never been here, it wouldn't be. But you can see from the comments attached to the Maxim Online version and The Shark Guys blog (not mine), that others DO consider it important.
The penis shrine and Bangkok Dan were addressed by The Shark Guys, not me, so I have no comment on that. Neither do I know Bangkok Dan, so I'm unavailable to pass on any messages, but certainly if I ever meet him, I will ask. As a "colleague" I do know that differences between interviewer and interviewee can arise, so I won't automatically assume anything on either side.
Yes, you addressed SOME of the issues, and I appreciate that, but nevertheless the errors were too big to be brushed off, and I did take particular exception to the child prostitution angle. I suppose you can say it did happen, and if so, there's nothing I can do to prove you wrong. It's just surprising that someone who lives here has never seen anything even resembling that, yet you found it almost immediately.
Finally, regarding the "ethics" of someone here trying to sell you the photo. First of all, it's not my department, as I am a mere sub. Secondly, not that I'm excusing it, but it would hardly be the first time such opportunities were pursued in our trade. Finally, if he was attempting to sell fake photos, then I would have just as much indignancy for him as I would for someone selling a story with false reportage, regardless of who his employer is.
Again, thank you for taking the time to reply, and for allowing the debate to be public. As I do not know you, I assure you it's nothing personal, and while it's natural you have defended yourself, I do hope you take on board the things that have been said, even if they may have been said in a more acidic fashion than you appreciate.
Comment by elephantsleg January 29, 2010 @ 5:35 amI've seen those original Thai Rath photos a mega amount of times, and can still hardly make anything out of them. Came all the way from the States getting paid to write an article and didn't even buy a beer for your interviewee, what a total tight-fist!!
That's one hell of a walk to do in one evening – well, perhaps he was sleepwalking as he certainly dreamt it up…
Comment by Stephen C January 29, 2010 @ 7:48 amWe are all used to the artistic licence of journalists covering Thailand, and Bangkok in particular.
I have lived here now for 14 years and (happily) have never encountered anything remotely to do with child prostutution. Like the author I accept it used to happen, and no doubt still does in predominantly, Thai areas, (many Thais still consider 15 to be acceptable as it is the age of consent in Thailand, but in the tourist areas it is a total no-no and would not be tolerated even if it did raise its ugly head.
With regards to the walk, well he is a better man than me. Patpong to Nana Plaza would take 90 minutes even if you actually knew the way, which is highly unlikely. The description of them as being "adjacent" make me also doubt the fact that he was ever actually here.
Comment by Thaigerweb February 1, 2010 @ 7:00 pmStephen, Thaigerweb, thanks for joining "the posse", as Mr Ebner puts it. Unfortunately the sheer numbers who have objected to his article mean nothing. Via private email, he has admitted his errors (what else could he do?), but he is unshakeable in his belief that such errors are unimportant. Well, I guess a journalist who has "covered crime and Hollywood for 20 years" is beyond reproach, even if on further investigation the majority of his work seems to fit the remit of "point and laugh at Paris Hilton and Scientologists". Challenging stuff.

Labor Relations Today
@LRToday Morning Round-Up: February 20, 2013
St. Paul Orchestra Files Unfair Labor Practice Charges Against Management: Euan Kerr of Minnesota Public Radio reports that the American Federation of Musicians (AMF) has filed unfair labor practice charges against the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra's (SPCO) management. In particular, the charges allege that SPCO management has failed to adequately respond to an AMF information request regarding SPCO works being published online.
"To understand their proposal we need to know what those recording are, we need to know who was involved in the making of those recordings, we need to know who the guest artists were, and we have been asking for that information since September," [AMF President Ray] Hair said.
SPCO management responded in kind, alleging that the AMF has thus far refused to negotiate the issue in good-faith. Moreover, the SPCO management team expects the Board to vindicate its position.
MI Panera Bakers Working to Unionize: E.B. Solomont of the St. Louis Business Journal reports that bakers at a Panera bread franchise in Michigan are fighting against their employer in an attempt to unionize. The bakers have been working towards collective representation by the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union (the Union) for over a year. Dan Wood, a baker leading the effort, had this to say:
"I don't want to hurt the company," Wood told the Huffington Post. "I just want us to be recognized for what we are: the engine. You can't buy anything from a Panera that we don't touch."
Officials at Panera's headquarters have issued a statement, saying that the company's goal is to treat all workers with respect. We will keep you posted as the situation unfolds.
NYC Drivers' Strike Called Off By Union: The Associated Press reports that the New York City school bus drivers' strike, which began over a month ago and has left more than 150,000 students stranded, has been called off by the Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 1181. Regular service is expected to resume this morning.
Driver Philip Pan proudly displayed a hand-written "welcome back" card on the dashboard of his bus. Pan says he and the people he serves are "like a family."
The strike was purportedly abandoned because New York City's leading mayoral candidates have promised to address drivers' job security concerns if elected. Interestingly, Mayor Michael Bloomberg had said previously that the drivers' requests for increased job protections were illegal under New York law.

Marginal and Interaction Effects in Ordered Response Models
In discrete choice models the marginal effect of a variable of interest that is interacted with another variable differs from the marginal effect of a variable that is not interacted with any variable. The magnitude of the interaction effect is also not equal to the marginal effect of the interaction term. I present consistent estimators of both marginal and interaction effects in ordered response models. This procedure is general and can easily be extended to other discrete choice models.Download Info
