I really like this album. They are very heavy, melodic, rhythmatic, and good lyrics. I think most people would categorize ABR as metalcore, and I don't listen to much metalcore because they often sound similar to some extent, but ABR would be on the top of the list of metalcore bands I listen to, just because they are just straight-out metalcore. If I wanted to listen to metalcore, I don't want to go through different metalcore artists, but I would just listen to this whole album. Every song has a billion different break-downs in some form. Sometimes just plain heavy break-down, sometimes with a catchy melody in it, which is the best in my opinion. Sometimes I get sick of it though, because they seriously have a TON of break-downs, but I like to listen to it in doses. Anyway hope this was helpful

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
August Burns Red's second full length album "Messengers" establishes the band out of Lancaster, Pennsylvania as a forced to be reckoned with in the Metalcore scene. Fans of "Thrill Seeker" wont find anything to be dissapointed with here, the style is pretty much the same but a little less heavy. For fans new to ABR, well you've been missing out. They're an extremely technical band but the music never gets redundant or over the top. All of the songs are mid to fast paced and riddled with breakdowns. Matt Griener is an insanely good drummer and a big highlight of the album. He left me with my jaw open several times throughout the album. The new singer (don't worry Thrill Seeker fans you'll like him) is a pretty good screamer. He stays mostly in the mid-low register but he does occasionaly go for some high screeches. He also does some clean singing (or should I say talking?) but it's very few and far. The guitarists are once again fantastic. They're very melodic and throughout the album we're treated to intricate and epic leads and riffs but at times they get downright nasty. It almost reminds me of In Flames' "Colony" because it's melodic but very heavy at the same time, only ABR is a good several dozen times faster (If you like Messengers I suggest you look into Colony).
The album starts off with "The Truth of a Liar" and it gets us ready for whats to come. It's a great song and one of my personal favorites. This would be a good song to download to see what these guys sound like. After that comes "Up Against The Ropes" which can best be described as playing bumper cars blindfolded. Tons of breakdowns unexpectedly pop up throughout, definitely one of the heavier tracks. Other highlights include "Composure" probably the most melodic song, check out the music video for this one it's pretty cool, and "Redemption" the six-minute plus closer which is nothing short of a masterpiece. The lyrics are very passionate and Jake Luhrs sings them with great emotion. The entire album has very good lyrics and, as you probably already know, they're a Christian band. But remember "Christian isn't a type of music, I've met several people who wont listen to Christian bands simply because they're Christian. If that's the case with you then ignore the lyrics and just enjoy the music.
Now the only reason why I don't give this a full five stars is because the breakdowns all seem to sound very similar and, like another reviewer said, the drummer uses the cymbal crash the same way on practically every breakdown. But that can easily be ignored because he did a masterful job on the rest of the album.
August Burns Red could very well be your new favorite band. I've been listening to Messengers non stop for a while now and trust me it's good music. If you like it I recommend "Alaska" by Between The Buried And Me, "Plagues" by The Devil Wears Prada, and like I previously said "Colony" by In Flames. Keep a lookout for ABR's new album coming out spring 2009.
ABR's latest is no disappointment and reminds us metalcore is still here and making progress. In my opinion this album is more brutal than the last, and the new vocalist does prove to be more versatile. Every track sounds great, you can read some of the other reviews here for better descriptions; this is one you can listen to straight though. Not to mention, these guys are from my hometown, so it's amazing to see them getting this kind of recognition.
I preordered an autographed copy of this album directly from the band and I am hoping that it will be in the mail today when I get home from work. I have however listened to the entire album through an online stream that the band had advertised through their myspace.
I was really curious as to how the band would follow up their epic debut album Thrill Seeker, which happens to be one of my favorite albums in my music collection. I honestly didn't think that August Burns Red, or any band for that matter, could put together another album that would live up to a freshman debut such as Thrill Seeker.
The Good news is that this album definitely lives up to their first album. I am not ready to say that it is better because I have only listened to the album once and since it was an online stream, I could not have fully appreciated the album production. I think that the band has matured a little and has even stepped up the skill and technicality of their music, which I was excited to hear because I was afraid that the band had hit a glass ceiling in that department on their first album, which would have been very unfortunate.
The addition of new vocalist Jake is a great addition to the band. He is a much better screamer with a much better range. Jake makes up for what I think was the only shortcoming of the first album. Another good thing is that the lyrical composition style, which I really enjoyed on the first album, is nearly the same yet much more dynamic.
The new album is technical, melodic, and BRUTAL. It sounds like ABR but it doesn't sound like Thrill Seeker. It is the perfect follow up to an amazing freshman effort. Bands like this make metalcore still worth listening to. This album will probably be the years best metalcore release so if you enjoy the genre, pick it up.
august burns red releases their sophmore effort "messengers" and it does not dissapoint. A couple of things changed since their last release in this album:
-New Vocalist
-New Bass Player
-ABR adds more melody
Its safe to say that this album is more melodic then "thrill seeker" but it is also way more metal. don't worry, these guys don't start singing at any point, its still the same brutal ABR that you know from their previous work. they still throw breakdowns in at random places and they still appear several times in each songs. The drummer is still amazingly good and amazingly fast.
here is a run down of the album:
1. Truth of a Liar – 9/10
Great opener. Great lyrics, the guitar work is melodic and yet brutal at the same time during the pause for the solo after the ending breakdown
2. Up against the Ropes 10/10
Sick. This song is like 6 songs all rolled into one. There is a breakdown almost every 30-45 seconds. I'm not joking. Brutal song.
3. Back Burner – 9/10
Brutal, dark song. The new vocalist, Jake, growls deeply several times during the song, a different but amazing additon to the bands sound. A very cool sounding breakdown at the end.
4. The Blinding Light – 9/10
A good tight song with an awesome ending breakdown. Good guitar work. A song which proves they went more "metal" with this album than the previous one. Nice breakdown at the end.
5. Composure 10/10
Great stuff here. Sounds like "thrill seeker". Drum work is awesome, going from breakdown to fast pounding. Nice Guitar work at the end.
6. Vital Signs 9/10
The first time i heard this song, i was like "eh, okay." Then i took a closer listen and it grew on me alot. Reminds me somewhat of Unearth at some points. Guitar work is frantic along with drum work.
7. The Eleventh Hour – 10/10
Amazing song. The song starts of fast which leads to a SICK breakdown halfway through the song. This whole song is brutal, Jakes vocals, the drum work, if your downloading random songs, this is the one to preview first.
8. The Balance 9/10
A more Melodic Song. A lot of Guitar work, but still a fast brutal tight song. A good solid melodic song from these guys. 0
9. Black Sheep 10/10
An amazing passionite song. Starts of with guitar work then jumps right into a breakdown. One of the most brutal songs on the album, an ending breakdown with lyrics that give me chills. Amazing stuff. My Favorite of the album.
10. An American Dream 10/10
Sounds like "thrill seeker." Brutal song, nice and tight sounding, with breakdowns thrown in at every corner you turn. Very cool sounding guitar work about 1:45, right when Jake yells, "ohh!". Nice tight song.
11. Redemption 10/10
Not as brutal as "thrill seeker"'s finale, but still a great song. They went with the more Melodic route and its a nice touch as the song sounds extremely passionite. A great ending to a great album.
In the end, is this better then Thrill Seeker? I don't know yet, i know its much more than a satisfying release from these guys. I also know its not leaving my CD player for like 3 months. It's slighly more melodic then Thrill Seeker, but as for the claim it sounds like Killswitch Engage?
No, not in the least. I don't know what that reviewer was talking about.
This is honestly one of the most brutal albums i've heard in a while. Do yourself a favor. Go to your nearest store and pick it up. It's that good.
Do it, like, now.

8. I also hear people mention Egypt. Whose side is it on?
In a way, the Arab world's most populous country is on both sides, and has been since striking a historic, U.S.-brokered peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Remember that Egypt shares a border with western Israel and Gaza. Egypt administers a single border crossing into Gaza, at Rafah, which has alternated between opened and closed. Since last year's Egyptian revolution ousted the reliably pro-U.S. dictator Hosni Mubarak, much of the world has been watching to see how the populist, democratically elected, Islamist-leaning President Mohamed Morsi would handle Egypt's traditional role mediating between Gaza and Israel, and whether he would betray greater sympathy toward Hamas. So far, Morsi seems to be emphasizing solidarity with Gazans but, broadly, is pushing for peace.
9. That was too much text, so I scrolled to the bottom to find out the big take-away from all this. What's going to happen?
No one is sure if the fighting will lead to a repeat of the 2008 ground war or will end with another uneasy ceasefire. But many analysts say that, in the end, the violence will likely not have brought either Israelis or Gazans any closer to peace. And they worry that both Israel and Gaza are following short-term policies detrimental to long-term progress. It's not exactly status quo for Israel-Palestine, but it doesn't look like a dramatic shift, either.


text:
As I said in my last post, In the past couple of days, the Israeli mainstream media is gushing with Gilad Shalit. Whenever something is all over the news, you have to ask yourself about the dog that's being wagged. What's not being reported?
Wagging the Dog
If the Shalit deal is all that's being reported, then what's not being reported? How about the continuation of air strikes against the Gazans, every day, since the "ceasefire"? How about the Wall, annexing pieces of the West Bank, as we speak? How about the ongoing protests that are being held every day, for the past months at Ni'ilin village? How about the critical wounding of American activist, Tristan Anderson?
You'd think an international- American- getting shot by the IDF with a tear gas canister, critically wounding him, would get some serious coverage. In the least, just to explain how this was an accident and the rest of the rhetoric. But the truth is that even American media ignored this incident. If you Google "Tristan Anderson", there is plenty of places you can find this story, but the sites that pop up are not mainstream news sites.
It took me 4 days to find out about Anderson, since he was shot with a tear gas canister in the face. Four days! And it happened by accident, when a Z friend emailed me, asking to know if I had heard about it. To be fair, it was reported in the mainstream press:
Yes, 33 whole seconds on mainstream television.
The three Israeli news papers, Ma'ariv [Hebrew], Yedi'ot Acharonot [Hebrew] and Ha'aretz all had an article about it. While Ha'aretz opened the article with the words "Palestinian sources said…", it tried to keep some kind of reporting integrity (operative word "tried"), Ma'ariv and Yediot, however, made sure we don't mistake self defense for brutal attack:
""There was a throng of 400 Palestinians, Israeli civilians and foreigners that massively hurled rocks at the defense forces, that had to retaliate with riot gear," says IDF spokesperson… "This is an area in which violent violations of order are perpetrated as a means to create provocation and endanger the defense forces. A civilian that decides out of their own free will to participate in a violent and illegal demonstration, is endangering themselves and could get hurt."" [Ma'ariv]
To be objective, it was reported once in every medium. No follow up on Anderson's situation and definitely no reference to the Palestinians wounded in the demonstration (except Ha'aretz, which mentioned no names).
The Girl I Blinded
Also no reference to Rachel Corrie (except Ha'aretz, which made sure you understand the case to be an accident), Tom Hurndall, James miller- internationals murdered by the IDF. It took me a while to find the following BBC production, investigating the deaths of the three. I thought it appropriate to post it here, to expose the vulnerability of the internationals in Gaza. My government will kill them and their governments will not help them or their grieving families, while their patriotic peers will post appalling, cynical posts on their blogs, celebrating the deaths of human beings.
This documentary was one of the tipping points, for me, in discovering the truth about my homeland. I was a soldier in Gaza when these events happened. I was typing up papers and had no clue what they meant. In part 2, you'll find 12 year-old Huddah Darwish, who- unbeknownst to her- changed my life forever.

text: Estimated Taxes Estimated taxes are tax payments made to the IRS on income you have that is not subject to withholding. People who are self-employed pay estimated taxes, as do those with large stock dividends, interest or assets. If you are a salaried employee and you don't have enough tax withheld, you may want to pay estimated taxes to avoid paying a penalty. In this case, you should simply change your withholding on your W-4, Employee's Withholding Allowance Certificate, to avoid estimated tax payments. To pay estimated taxes, you need to figure out how much your adjusted gross income will be for the year. Take into account your taxable income, deductions, taxes and credits. You can pay your estimated tax four times a year (based on the IRS dates specified for payment), or monthly. The IRS has set up the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) to make it easier to make your estimated tax payments.

Recipe by Greg Amirault
"A true Buffalo chicken wing soup done with a slow cooker."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
6 cups
3 (10.75 ounce) cans
condensed cream of chicken soup
4 cups
shredded cooked chicken breast
1 cup
sour cream
1 cup
hot pepper sauce, or to taste
carrots, diced
celery stalks, diced
potatoes, peeled and cubed
5 ounces
crumbled blue cheese
Easy to make, let cook all afternoon. Even my 3 year old son loved it (added extra sour cream to his to cool it off a bit). Didn't add the blue cheese to the pot, but kept it on the side for those who wanted some. Can't wait to have some at the ski lodge this winter!
I would've loved this soup but mine curdled! I only had 1 can of cream of chicken so I am not sure if that was the reason why we couldn't eat it! I was sad because it tasted pretty good. Might try again

My whole family asked me to definitely make this soup again and again. My son, who is big on hot wings, but not a soup person, had several helpings. I used KEN'S Steak House Marinade & Sauce "Buffalo Wing sauce" instead of the hot pepper sauce. Really good chicken wing flavor soup!!
Very easy and it makes a huge quantity.I omitted the carrots and potatoes after my first try. In a pinch using rotisserie chickens from the grocery store makes it not only delicious but even faster to make. This is a new family favorite!
Excellent soup! Here is what I did different, no half & half and less cream of chicken soup, turned out fabulous! I sliced celery, carrot, onion, garlic, and potato in the food processor, then sautéed veggies in butter. I used one can of cream of chicken soup with five additional cans of water. I then poured two cups of leftover Frank's Red Hot chicken wing sauce and added four chicken bouillon cubes into the crockpot. Lastly, I added one large raw chicken breast, spices, and the sautéed veggie mix to the crockpot and cooked it on high for a total of four hours. The chicken breast was cooked within two hours and I pulled it out and shredded the meat with a fork and then placed it back into the crockpot. I served the soup with a dollop of sour cream, shredded mozzarella cheese and chives fresh from the garden. Can't wait to make this soup again during the cold winter months, best soup I've made this year!
I took this to a soup social and everyone LOVED it! It was one of the first ones to go! I did add an envelope of ranch to the pot just to add a little more flavor. Thank you so much! I will make this over and over!
I used fat free half and half and low fat cream of chicken soup, I also added more hot sauce(we like it spicy!). I spinkled the blue cheese on each individual bowl instead of mixing it in (everyone likes different amounts)....Loved it! Will be making it again!
I tossed everything in the crock pot Super Bowl Sunday am (super easy; especially since I used rotisserie chicken, per a previous reviewer, for the meat), sans celery because I hate celery. I also couldn't resist adding some minced garlic and a little shaker parm, as our very wings are garlic parm. It cooked on low all day while we were out and we arrived home to the smell of wings. While we both enjoyed it, we also agreed it wasn't something we'd really want/make again, hence the 4 stars. If you're a fan of wings, it's def worth givinig a try. Mr. LTH can be a big sissy when it comes to hot and he had no issues w/this. (Photo to follow as soon as I can get it to upload...)

Disc and ? or ??
This is my friends disc. Anyone know what kind it might be? there ares/10320/MVC-004S.JPG[/img] no identifing mark or names? Anyway I have a 23A disc ane there is a lever operated by pulling a rope to off set the hillers. How do you offset the hillers on my friends disc?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Re: Disc and ? or ??
Need a bigger picture.
That helps.
That is an offset disk, the front gang is angled one way and the rear the other. I don't recognize that particular disk. You might closely inspect the spools between the indivudual discs for any ID marks. I can see a curved part with several notches above the front gang and towards the right side (viewed from behind). Looks like releasing a latch of some type on that part allows setting the angle. There are several other links, pivots etc. on there. They may have something to do with setting the angle or automatically changing it when turning. A shot from straignt above might make it possible to figure out what the rest of the linkage does.
Re: Disc and ? or ??
May be this can help. Thanks
Re: Disc and ? or ??
Second picture doesn't help much. But it does seem to confirm what I said above.
Re: Disc and ? or ??
Pull the disk out on hard level ground. Lubricate all pivoting points and the bearings. Disconnect from tractor.
Open or lift the locking mechanism located between the gangs on the photos left side. Move the lever extending out the right side of the front gang.
Considering the length of the disk's drawbar, I do not see a method of changing the gang's angle from the tractor seat.
It could well be that you lift or unlock the mechanism on the left, between the gangs, then either move the tractor forward or backward to change the gang's angle.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Disc and ? or ??
Elkshead, It looks to me as though the mechanism on the right side of the disk (as viewed in looking at the pictures) forms a large parallelogram that maintains the second gang of disks in the same angle to the first gang of disks, but also allows the second set to move left or right as necessary to make left or right turns. Look at the long arm of the parallelogram that is roughly in the center of the disk. The short arm of the parallelogram is on the right side of the picture. The front end of the short parallelogram bar is not permanently attached and is allowed grow longer or shorter as the cutting angle of the second gang is changed. It looks as though the cutting angle of the second gang is changed/set by the mechanism that is on the left side of the pictures. If this rod is 'pushed out or rearward', then the angle of the second gang increases and the loose end of the short parallelogram bar moves forward toward the tractor.
This looks like a very sophisticated mechanism that probably disks very even behind the tractor even when making turns at the headlands.
Anyhow, that's what it looks like to me, NJDale

Ravens FS Tom Zbikowski had been suspended from boxing for failing a drug test, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. But Zbikowski's second test was negative for THC, the Sun-Times reported, and his suspension will be lifted soon.
Zbikowski's test came following his fight last Saturday at the WinStar Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma; he was one of five boxers fighting at the casino last weekend who failed the test.
Zbikowski's manager, Chicago-area lawyer and boxing coach Mike Joyce, told the Sun-Times that his client was scheduled to get a second test later Tuesday and was confident it would be negative.
"We're appealing it," Joyce said. "After the fight, all the fighters tested were positive. They had you pee in a cup and put a strip of something in there. I've never seen results where you get them the day of the fight. It was like a home pregnancy test or something." If he failed the second test, Zbikowski would have been suspended from fighting for 45 days.
The Baltimore safety allegedly tested positive for marijuana. He won his fight last week in a first-round knockout, improving to 4-0 as a pro. His next fight was scheduled to be in Cabazon, Calif., on May 21, and again on June 4 at Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Admirals and Sound Tigers Square off at Scope
This weeks matchup between the Admirals and the Sound Tigers features two teams going in opposite directions. The Admirals, who have won two straight and eight of their previous eleven games, entered the winter break in a three-way tie for first place in the AHLs East Division. Bridgeport, the AHL-affiliate of the New York Islanders, invades Scope having lost six of its last seven and finds itself in last place in the Northeast Division.
Prior to the break, Norfolk upended a pair of East Division rivals on the road. On Saturday, Dec. 17th, the Admirals defeated the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins 5-2 at Mohegan Sun Arena. In their last game before the break, Norfolk notched five goals in the third period to erase a two-goal third period deficit and defeated the Hershey Bears 6-3, at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa.
The Sound Tigers invade Scope after defeating the Connecticut Whale, 3-2, at home on Monday night. Prior to their victory on Monday night, the Sound Tigers, who have been decimated by injuries and call-ups to New York, had lost six straight, including five in a row on the road.
This weeks meetings are the only two meetings between the Admirals and Sound Tigers at Scope this season. Norfolk fell to the Sound Tigers, 3-2, on November 5th in the only meeting between the teams this season. Norfolk and Bridgeport will conclude their season series on Sunday, March 11th, in Bridgeport.
Former Players Facing Their Former Teams
In this weeks matchup,
Trevor Smith
, Norfolks current point leader, and Bridgeports blue-liner
Ty Wishart
will face off against their former teams when the Admirals and Sound Tigers square off on Wednesday and Friday nights at Scope.
Smith, who currently leads the Admirals in assists and points, originally signed with the New York Islanders on April 2, 2007. He made his professional debut with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at the end of the 2006-07 campaign. In parts of four seasons with the Sound Tigers, Smith went on to appear in 214 games, registering 72 goals and 77 assists for 149 points. Smith had a breakout year for the Sound Tigers in 2008-09. In 76 games, Smith led the Sound Tigers with a career high in goals (30) and ranked second in points (62). In 2009-10, Smith ranked second in goals (21), third in scoring (47) and tied for third in assists with 26 for the Sound Tigers.
After splitting the 2010-11 season between Syracuse and Springfield, Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Lightning on July 5, 2011. In 30 games as an Admiral, Smith has collected 15 goals to go along with 22 assists for 37 points.
Wishart, who spent parts of three seasons in Norfolk, is in his second season as part of the Islanders organization. Originally selected with the 16th overall pick by the San Jose Sharks in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, Wishart joined the Lightning before the 2008-09 season. Along with defenseman
Matt Carle
and two draft picks, Wishart was acquired by the Lightning on July 4, 2008, in exchange for
Dan Boyle
Brad Lukowich
In his three seasons in Norfolk, Wishart compiled 14 goals and 43 assists for 57 points in 168 games. On January 1st, 2011, the Lightning traded Wishart to the Islanders in exchange for netminder
Dwayne Roloson
Wishart appeared in 20 games for the Islanders in 2010-11, notching one goal, including his first NHL goal on February 13, and four assists. The 2007-08 WHL East second-team all-star also collected nine assists in 20 games for the Sound Tigers after the trade.
In 29 games with the Sound Tigers this season, Wishart has tallied one goal to go along with eight assists for nine points.
Admirals Rookies Settling into Roles
Cory Conacher
Carter Ashton
, and
Tyler Johnson
are becoming accustomed to scoring in just their first year in the AHL.
Conacher, who turned pro last season after graduating college, entered the holiday break leading all AHL rookies in scoring. In his first 29 games as an Admiral, Conacher has collected 18 goals and 17 assists for 35 points. The rookie also is tied for fifth in the AHL with seven power play goals.
Even though is scoring has slowed down since the beginning of the season, Ashton remains ranked in the top of the scoring charts in the AHL. Ashtons 14 goals and 10 assists leaves him ranked tied for fourth in AHL in rookie scoring. After making his Admirals debut at the end of the 2009-10 season, Ashton spent last season at the junior ranks, where he notched 23 goals in 62 games for Regina and Tri-City. Ashton appeared in a pair of Calder Cup Playoff games for Norfolk.
In his first season at the professional level,
Tyler Johnson
has notched 12 goals and eight assists for 20 points, leaving him tied for eighth among rookies. Johnson, who scored 53 goals for Spokane of the WHL last season, opened the season with three goals in three games and has tallied at least one point in six of eight games in the month of December, including three game-winning goals.
The trio, who spent the beginning of the season on the same line, have been part of the reason why Norfolk leads the AHL in goals with 112 through just 30 team games.

Today our Manufacturing Manager and I spent about 4 hours walking around the former Hess Industries buildings looking at the equipment that will be auctioned off tomorrow. I was there to suggest to him what I felt we needed to purchase for my new place of employment, Manufacturing Technology Inc., for the shop floor. I've been at MTI for about 1 1/2 years now. I was at Hess for 23 years and knew the equipment well. We were not after any of the big machine tools because our owners don't want a machine shop. There is an abundance of smaller equipment like pipe threaders, welders, tubing benders, CMM's, saws, bearing heaters the list goes on and on. We need many of these tools at MTI.
The auction starts at 9:00 AM and they hope to end by 9:00-10:00 PM. I need to be at work tomorrow but plan on dropping by after work to see how things are going and meet up with many former Hess employees that I'm sure will be there. Oh yeah, I got my bid number today.

When i was first introduced to this fragrance, i was a bit hesitant as its an aquired scent. But since purchasing a 100ml, i have gone back to get more and now have used 3 bottles and ready to get my 4th. I really do like this one now, its one of the most favourites that i have pushed to the back of the cupboard, because then all my friends want to use it when we get ready to hit the town! The guys and gurls go crazy on this smell too, its like a magnet.

This gets a big thumbs down from me. This is very perfume like in that it is sweet. Not masculine enough by far. If you prefer a strong, masculine smelling cologne I would definately give this one a miss. I certainly won't be purchasing a bottle.
I have nothing positive to say about this one.

MerleFest volunteers are vital to the success of the festival. With over 700 individual volunteers participating each year, one must ask, "What is the appeal for volunteers?" As one faithful volunteer put it, "Once you volunteer, you will never want to miss the chance to do it again every year." It is this endless dedication that makes MerleFest possible. There are many benefits to volunteering at MerleFest. The most important is that you are part of a worthwhile fundraiser for Wilkes Community College. Visit our campus to get a glimpse of the buildings, gardens and instructional programs that the monies raised through MerleFest make possible each year. Volunteering at MerleFest is an exciting opportunity to experience a world-renowned festival of music, moments and memories. As a volunteer, you don't just attend-you actively contribute to make this fabulous festival possible. And finally, as a MerleFest volunteer, you receive free entry for each day you work one shift. Usually the shifts are three to five hours long, and the participation is fun as you meet and work with people who share similar interests and the love of music. You may work one, two, three or four days. Volunteers get a jumpstart on the music and fun at the Volunteer Kick-Off and Training event to be held on Wednesday April 23, 2014, at 6 p.m. in the Mayes Pit-Cohn Auditorium in Thompson Hall. This is an opportunity for volunteers to meet one another and their team leaders, listen to some great music, enjoy some refreshments, receive training, and tour their designated volunteer areas. Online applications will be available at www.merlefest.org/volunteers beginning October 1, 2013, for MerleFest 2014. If you prefer to receive a hard copy application, email us at email@example.com or call 336-838-6262. If you would like to find out more information about the volunteer opportunities MerleFest has to offer, visit our Volunteer Opportunities section of the website. Remember: Volunteer applications will be accepted through April 11, 2014. ALL volunteers are required to send a recent photograph. Anyone who has never worked as a MerleFest volunteer, or has failed to report to a scheduled volunteer position in previous years without notifying MerleFest, must send a personal check for $35 made payable to MerleFest. Checks and photos must be received within two weeks of application submission. You may mail the deposit check to MerleFest Volunteer Coordinator, P.O. Box 120, Wilkesboro, N.C. 28697. After all shifts are completed, the deposit will be returned to you at Flattop's Getaway. Volunteers will receive their schedule no later than six weeks after we receive the application. Thank you, volunteers, for your support of MerleFest.

Product Description
No one in its class performs better* and no one in its class cleans better.**
The Kenmore® 28102 washer is now bigger.*** It also features the high-performing Triple Action® impeller to provide a deep clean, 3-part wash motion while using less water. This triple action system includes a wash basket motion, an impeller action and a burst of concentrated detergent pumped through the wash plate.
The white Kenmore 2810 washing machine uses 63% less water and 73% less energy for over $175 per year in total savings.† It also makes it easier than ever to get whiter whites, thanks to the Timed Oxi™ dispenser. Just press a button, and your oxi additives are released into the wash at the right time to help boost cleaning power. Set-in stains are no match for the Soak cycle that helps eliminate tough stains from clothing. The PreWash option also lets you customize your wash to clean organic stains like berries, wine or extra-dirty loads.
- Combining wash basket motion, impeller rotation and a burst of concentrated detergent, the Triple Action® impeller deep cleans fabrics while using less water.
- Stainboost™ extends wash time for a deeper soak, better cleaning penetration and more powerful stain removal while remaining gentle on fabrics.
- The timed Oxi-Option™ is designed to automatically add powdered oxygen cleaners at just the right moment in your washer's cycle for deeper cleaning and brighter whites.
- Designed to effectively clean up to 20 towels at once, this 4.5 cu. ft. capacity washer gets more clean in fewer loads.
- Rapid basin rotation uses centrifugal force to remove excess moisture from fabrics quickly, reduce dry times and ease transfer from washer to dryer.
**Among leading brand top load high efficiency washers with washplates greater than 4.0 cu. ft. and less than 4.7 cu. ft. as measured by DOE standards, based on an 8 lb load.
***As compared to Kenmore model 28002.
†Compared to a deep fill top load washer manufactured before 2004, using the normal cycle. Average use, 11 year life and 10 loads per week.
††100% cotton, RN# 15099 from Sears, each weighs 0.90 lbs new, and are 49" x 25" new.

I bought this machine about two months ago and hate it. I'm trading it in this weekend. Yes, it has a nice large drum, but that's about the only benefit. The water never covers the clothes completely, so often when the clothes come out of the washer they still feel dry. I can't be sure if they were ever wet. There is no way to manually control the water level. In addition, the clothes just don't get as clean as the old washer I had. Even though I bought the detergent that was specified for the machine, there is often residue left on the clothes. That means that I have to rerinse everything, and even then some of the residue may not come out. The wash cycle times are much longer, so what use to take 45 minutes, now takes at least 60 to 75 minutes. So much for energy efficiency.

this washer was purchased as a pair with the dryer and we are very pleased with the water saving it has given. It repllaced a 20 yr old Maytag, and the fact that I got both items for less thatn anyone else around. Satisfied so far, hopefully the love will continue.

Purchased this online for $439 /Free delivery. Just got it today. First load was pretty big as our old machine died last week, Colored clothes came out great. Surefire test was my sons filthy baseball uniform with dirt and grass stains (pre treated the grass stains) with white pants, it came out spotless. Clothes come out much dryer than my old Maytag, Drying time was cut in half in my old dryer. As far as taking longer to wash. Maybe a little. Maybe an extra 10-15 minutes. I don't know about you, but I don't sit in front of my washer and wait for my laundry. I have a million other things to do with the extra time. Have done 3 loads today so far. Every one came out fine. Looks like I made a great purchase.

This is our first High Efficiency Washer--and I did all the Consumer Reports looking, etc. Plain and simple: We could not be HAPPIER with this machine. We don't even use any fancy HE detergents either--just plain old Tide. And we have no issues with "oversudsing." All you have to do is put the clothes around--meaning, "don't cover" the middle agitator bit--no big deal. I dump my stuff in, pre-treated if it warrants-and I mean, my stuff, my husband's stuff, and my six year old's stuff---make sure that middle isn't covered, and proceed to push the various buttons. I can handle everything! I usually use the express setting, as our stuff just really isn't that dirty. But normal is also quick. With 6 cats, we have to launder quilts/duvets a lot (lots of "marking") No problem--and I've not had it "wander" across my laundry room floor or do that "ka-chunk-ka-chunk" RUN and redistribute the wash insanity! No more!!! Hooray! As we have 6, count 'em, SIX cats--I use a double rinse option. If there is still hair on items, the dryer takes that off. Our laundry is in the basement, but I'm still stymied about the "noise" issues I read in the other reviews. LOL It sort of sounds like there's some old laundress in the basement, hemming and hawing, yes-I'm serious---but it's kind of charming, not eerie. :-) And I also agree with the shorter time in the dryer, or air drying. Items are really squeezed out. And I'm all about air drying expensive cotton items---chinos, polos and button-down shirts. So, all in all, I'd say this is a wonderful washer, which I'm happy to recommend!!! And as my husband is a do-it-yourselfer (at least his $$ work clothes) he's very happy with it too!!! Would I buy again? YES!!!

Although I did not have trouble originally. This year The machine has had three service calls. The first tech told me I was using to much soap. I knew that wasn't true as I wash my laundry and then rewash to remove any residue. The machine continued to make the horrible noises after he "fixed it" two weeks later the circuit board started acting up. Same tech came back, said he ordered parts never showed back up again. In the meantime I noticed that the entire top of the machine is rusting. Then the machine started leaking water out the bottom of machine. Tech just left. The bearing went, and that was wrong from the beginning. I asked about the rust. he said they do that and it is not covered by warranty. Although this tech was very nice, I am really angry with the poor quality of such an expensive machine. This was a very expensive machine when I bought it and I purchased the extended warranty

This washer does everything it promises. After reading some negative reviews, the hubby and I started a load of wash and decided to sit there and watch it the whole cycle. I am not sure if some negative reviewers got a defective washer, but mine does the job AND does it well. The soap gets mixed effectively by multiple blasts of water that rinses the detergent shoot. It then sprays the wash while it slowly spins the clothes to ensure an even spread. The impeller does an excellent job of agitating the clothing and you can see your clothes being fully saturated and moved about. The rinse cycle/s evenly distribute water and I have no issue with soap being left behind on the laundry. I use fabric softener as well, and it also is evenly distributed and I have no residue on the cleaned wash. As far as the spin cycle, this baby will spin your clothes practically dry if you set the spin setting to high! Talk about a time saver for your dryer. I can't say anything negative about this washer. I use it frequently and do loads ranging from small to packed full, lightly soiled to super dirty work clothes. My family's clothes are clean and smell fresh.

Our old dryer went out - and we were never quite happy with our old washer. To make a long story short - we investigated all of the washers and dryers available locally. We decided on the 28102 and the accompanying dryer (68102). I read the reviews and decided to give them a try. I am quite impressed. We always had to head to the laundromat to wash our sleeping bags. The washer (and the dryer) handle a standard size sleeping bag like a champ. They take care of a set of king size sheets in a single load. They do a decent job on a load of jeans and such. It takes a bit getting used to the lower water levels and the different noises. You think - how can it get the laundry clean without using more water? There were some bloodstains on the sheets from me scratching some chigger bites - they are all gone. There were some grease and dirt stains on one or two pairs of jeans - they are all gone. I am favorably impressed.

This is my second high efficiency washing machine. The first was in our last apartment and it was a huge learning curve. I didn't like it for several reasons but mostly for the the fact that the other one would grow mold easily on the rubber ring of the front loader so I specifically sought a top loader. This machine is much better. It's pretty quiet and I have yet to have a trouble with the load being off balance as others have commented. I live in a 100 year old house and the only problem I've had is that the water sometimes doesn't get hot enough which is not due to the machine but rather to the state of our water lines. We have a baby and wash cloth diapers every other day and this machine gets them really clean. I like the multiple options for water temperature, soil level, rinse, etc. I even was able to wash my king size comforter in this machine and it came out great.

After careful review of many different washing machines on the market, we decided on this one based on consumer reports (instead of a front loader which we read often smells moldy after a few months.) Well, big mistake. This machine does not clean our clothes very well or rinse them efficiently either. Sometimes portions of the clothes are still dry after a full hour cycle! Very odd! We read the manual and did exactly what they recommended. The washing times are too long and the clothes come out so wrinkled that even after drying they are a still wrinkly. (Especially my "permanent press" uniforms.) Who wants to iron anymore than we have to? This machine is getting returned and Sears was very accommodating about taking it back after 2 months. I probably will choose another Kenmore, but this time a front loader.

LAS VEGAS - A Las Vegas family is making a difference in the lives of many people. The Vivas family continues to give even when faced with hard times. Their story is the latest in a new 8 News NOW series that showcases the good deeds of valley citizens called Acts of Kindness.
Art and Hope Vivas have called Las Vegas home for 20 years. They make it a part of their family's daily life to give back to their friends and their community.
They are leaders at their church and at the Explore Knowledge Academy. They are active in several local organizations, including Project Teddy and the Josh Stevens Foundation. Art and Hope make it a priority to instill the same values in their five children.
"You start at the beginning. Your children grow through it with you. Their involvement in the programs - my daughter Rebekah - she started one of the beginning stages of serving blankets and food to the homeless," Art said.
Friends say the Vivas family never fails to support those around them.
"Not a day goes by that my wife and I don't reflect back on when we lost our son 1,403 days ago that Hope is the one who orchestrated for three, four, five months of meals brought to our home," Vivas family friend Drew Stevens said.
"Last year, I was in the hospital, and it was Art that sat by my bedside for an entire day," added Vivas family friend Abbe Mattson. "Just that kind of giving, that he would give an entire day so I wouldn't be alone."
More than three years ago, Art lost his job. Eventually, Hope went back to work to help support her family, but it was still very hard to make ends meet. They almost lost their home, saving it just 24 hours before auction.
"My hope for them is that all this giving that they've been doing comes back to them tenfold and that things are easy for them," Mattson said. "They've really been going through some rough times, and it's not deserved. It's their time for some peace."
8 News NOW decided it's the Vivas' turn to be on the receiving end – giving Art and Hope an $800 gift as thanks for their acts of kindness.
If you have someone you want to nominate who you think has done an act or acts of kindness and can use a little help, 8 News NOW wants to help pay it forward. You can nominate someone here or email us directly.

What is meant by " I got grains the size of a walnut lately"?
y milk kefir grains also love the home pasteurised milk too, I got grains the size of a walnut lately, something I havent seen before.Then again, they were dormant for about three weeks, kind of hibernating.
It appears they have woken up quite hungry, so I have to feed them the best milk Ive got.
More about the milk kefir grains hibernating in my next post.
