LAKE CLEAR — Floyd Lampart is cycling back home as he pursues his 12,000-mile-long trip to raise money for two animal shelters.
On April 4, the Lake Clear man, 67, pedaled out of Lake Clear in 18-degree weather to kick off his Pedal for Paws journey, which took him to post offices resting on the four farthest points in the contiguous United States.
At each, he collected postage cancellations as tokens of his progress, the last one captured at Angle Inlet, Minn., in early August.
Lampart intends some of the money he has raised to help fund the installation of a $20,000 fire-suppression system at Tri-Lakes Humane Society in Saranac Lake.
A fire there could prove a nightmare, he said.
"The caged animals would certainly perish in a fire, and that's something that I could not see happening," Lampart said in a recent interview via cellphone from Duluth, Minn.
"I figured if we put in a sprinkler system, it would knock the fire down enough to allow firefighters to come in time to take care of things."
That system would also cover the upstairs apartment, Floyd's wife, Martha, said in a separate interview.
Floyd plans also to donate Pedal for Paws money to the Kanab, Utah, chapter of Best Friends Animal Society, to put toward the lab accompanying the medical clinic under construction there.
The shelter is in a remote location, Martha said, and performing tests and procedures in-house will speed up treatment of the animals there.
The Lamparts are long-time friends of the shelter, as they have adopted five dogs from there in the last seven years.
The Pedal for Paws adventure has also taken Floyd to far-flung post offices in Lubec, Maine; Key West, Fla.; and La Push, Wash.
He is bringing back more than donations, however. He is coming back with memories of great people and the serenity he found in nature.
"I would sit by the side of the road sometimes, and I could bet three or four drivers would come by and ask me if I was all right," Floyd said via cellphone. "It's a great feeling to know people like that are out there."
As his trip captured media attention along the way, many people began recognizing him.
While in Mississippi, a woman noticed Floyd in a grocery store and told him to wait as she went to gather reporters from a local news station.
Floyd said that as he was leaving his tent behind a church, also in Mississippi, a father and son approached him. The boy had recognized him from television as they drove by in their car.
"I took a picture with the kid and told him, 'You can do things like this, too."
As far as scenery goes, Floyd calls cycling by Redwood National Park in northern California as the highlight.
"I've been in the woods all my life and have never seen trees that were 15 to 20 feet across and 2,000 years old," he said. "It takes you to a place where you realize just how insignificant you are in the world.
"You will not be disappointed in going out to see these trees."
Floyd's journey has not come without its share of challenges. At the beginning, he cycled through snow, powerful winds and rain.
Later on, some bridges barred him from bicycle use. One time, he hitchhiked, holding a sign explaining that he just had to get his bike across the span.
Another time, Martha said, a police officer allowed Floyd to pedal across a bridge, following in his cruiser.
She has spent considerable effort checking her husband's route ahead of time and calling bridge authorities to find out whether he could pedal across; once, with no other option, Floyd had to travel 30 or so miles off his route to avoid a bridge that had no bike access.
The Golden Gate in San Francisco has both bike and pedestrian lanes, so Floyd had no problem there, Martha said — except he accidentally took the pedestrian route and didn't realize it until he was almost across.
While in the Southwest, Floyd resorted to traveling some in the dark due to the high daytime temperatures.
And the weather eventually took a toll on Floyd's bike.
"The tubes in the tires split and delaminated because of the 140-to-150-degree heat coming from the pavement," he said.
Nonetheless, he's keeping the wheels rolling.
"It's been great so far, and I expect it to be great 'til the end," he said.
"I expect him home, actually, by Labor Day weekend," Martha said.
Floyd's love for animals can be traced back to his childhood. And he volunteered for shelters, which opened his eyes to the hardships faced by animals that did not receive the care they needed.
"Shelters are always looking for support, and I figured I could give them as much support as I could," he said.
Martha, who also volunteers at the Saranac Lake shelter, shares his passion.
"Some people say, 'Well, they're just animals,'" she said. "But they're not.
"They have hearts and feelings, and they can be just as annoying as humans, but they can also be much more lovable."
Floyd acquired an interest for long-distance cycling in 1994 while riding from Plum Island, N.Y., to Oregon. In 1999, he first decided to combine his new hobby with his passion for animals when he rode from Saranac Lake to Alaska and back.
The effort raised enough money to buy an anesthesia machine for animals at the Tri-Lakes Shelter.
Martha and a group of supporters have been publicizing Floyd's trip via social media.
She said earlier this week that at least $14,000 has been raised for the Tri-Lakes Shelter and around $40,000 for Best Friends in Utah. To make a donation to the Saranac Lake facility, visit http://www.freewebs.com/tlhsny/apps/donations and scroll down to find "Pedaling for Paws."

United Airlines customers took to social media Tuesday morning to complain of nationwide computer issues that caused delays and boarding problems.
"We experienced an issue with our system earlier. We are working to resolve this and apologize to our customers for any inconvenience," the airline said in an emailed statement.
United did not elaborate on the issue or say whether it had been fixed as of 11 a.m.
The problem appeared to be nationwide. Denver airport officials confirmed the computer problems and delays around 7:45 a.m., according to Colorado news station Fox 31.
Chicago Department of Aviation spokeswoman Karen Pride said the airport is "aware that United is having some computer issues," but did not provide further information.
United customers at Dulles, LAX, and O'Hare complained of the computer issues on Twitter.
"Well, this is grand. All @united computers and systems down," @leeleechicago tweeted from O'Hare about 9 a.m.
Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins tweeted, "Haha-now all of @united computers are acting up at GR airport so we can't print our boarding passes to get thru security."

Research Area: Human iPSC's as a model system to investigate dystrophic cardiomyopathy
I received my Bachelors degree in Clinical Laboratory Science from UW-Milwaukee in 2009. Later, I went on to earn my Master of Health Science degree in Molecular Microbiology and Immunology from Johns Hopkins where I focused my research on current treatment and prevention strategies for Onchocerciasis, a neglected tropical disease. I worked as a clinical microbiologist prior to entering the IDP program where I am now a student in Dr. Strande's lab. Working in both a clinical setting and a research setting has given me a great appreciation for the translational potential in biomedical research.
The Strande lab aims to investigate the unique pathogenesis of cardiomyopathy in muscular dystrophy. My project focuses on the production of ROS and the loss of the mitochondrial membrane potential in dystrophic cardiomyocytes, as well as identifying potential therapies to protect against these dysfunctions.

Kevin Ware's broken leg: Watch the disturbing injury happen on court
LAS CRUCES — It's been the hot topic of conversation for pundits, sports programs and particularly social media.
Few sports injuries have been more graphic than the broken leg suffered by Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware during Sunday's NCAA Elite Eight game.
According to some, including a local orthopedic surgeon and a former assistant coach at Louisville, it was a rare injury that no coach or program could prepare for.
"I don't think there is anything you can do outside of making sure kids are strong and stretched and healthy," said New Mexico State men's basketball coach Marvin Menzies, who was an assistant at Louisville before taking the Aggies job six seasons ago. "That just seemed like a freak accident. He challenged a shot. He is a great athlete for his size and he just came down on it just awkward enough."
Ware suffered an open fracture of his tibia bone.
Local orthopedic surgeon Daniel Romanelli said that kind of injury is more common in contact sports such as football or rugby, but most common in falls and motorcycle or automobile accidents.
"He landed awkwardly and the bone bent and snapped the bone out of the skin, which is an open fracture," said Romanelli, who is an orthopedic consultant for NMSU athletics and attends men's basketball games, volleyball, baseball, soccer and swimming events at the school. "You get him to the hospital, wash the bone, wash the wound then set the bone and insert an intramedullary rod, which is locked with screws by the ankle and the knee that locks the rod in place. The biggest concern for him is going to be the wound. You have to make sure it closes up in the next week or two and the other risk is infection."
If all goes well, Romanelli said he expects a modern athlete to return from an injury like Ware's within six months to a year.
Players and coaches from both Louisville and Duke were shaken from such a horrific injury, which CBS didn't replay during halftime due to its severity.
"I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, let alone my teammates," said former Aggies basketball player Wendell McKines, now playing professionally in France. "I would say a prayer for him and his family and then continue to battle. A lot of the game is based on mental strength. Once you lose focus, you are like a chicken with its head cut off."
When injuries do occur at the collegiate level, there are trainers, doctors and emergency responders ready to react.
"At the larger games like a NCAA Tournament game, there will be more resources usually on site ready to respond to that kind of major injury," Menzies said. "There is always a doctor, a trainer and some medical personnel on our level depending what the injury is."
Athletic trainers are at every high school event in Las Cruces, as well as an ambulance on site at the Field of Dreams during football season.
Former Aggies basketball player and Mayfield football player Timothy Trotter suffered a broken leg on the football field in the late 70s at Aggie Memorial Stadium.
Current Mayfield coach Michael Bradley was a teammate.
"He (Trotter) was trying to block an extra point and his leg broke and snapped," Bradley said. "They drove an ambulance onto the field and he was in the hospital within 30 minutes. Accidents happen in anything you do. That kind of thing doesn't happen very often, thank God."

President Obama's proposed space plan got a boost Friday -- literally. SpaceX's Falcon 9, a test rocket that may one day replace the space shuttles, successfully lifted off from Cape Canaveral.
The gleaming white 158-foot-tall rocket blasted off into surprisingly blue Florida skies at 2:45 p.m. -- just 15 minutes before the launch window closed for the day and over an hour after a last-second abort during an earlier try.
SpaceX's CEO, Elon Musk, said later that the dummy spacecraft on top of the rocket achieved a nearly perfect orbit 155 miles up.
A spokesperson called it a "good day" for the company, which was founded eight years ago by Musk, who made millions as the co-founder of the internet company PayPal. Since then, he's turned his attention to reducing the cost of going to space, and landed a NASA contract in the meantime.
SpaceX is often held up as the best example of President Obama's plan to privatize many of the duties currently performed by NASA. The space shuttle fleet is scheduled to be retired in a matter of months, and if the White House gets its way, private companies like SpaceX will take over the launching of supplies and even astronauts to the space station.
Musk gave Obama a personal tour of the launch site back in April when the president visited the Cape to outline his plan.
Musk said Thursday that he expects his spacecraft to be ready to deliver supplies to the orbiting outpost by next year, and he expects to be able to ferry astronauts within three years of receiving the word from NASA.
Friday's launch nearly happened at 1:30 p.m., but the countdown was stopped with only one second left when computers detected a problem with the engines. That problem was quickly fixed and the rocket blasted off less than two hours later.
SpaceX hopes to launch a second Falcon 9 later this summer.

The check-in was speedy, the porters took our luggage immediately once we approached the gate, as we had already put the tags on our luggage at the airport. We checked in half an hour before the scheduled check-in time. After the check-in we received our SeaPass Cards (you can check your account in your cabin, on the TV screen). Right next to the check-in desks, there is an area where we ordered our water package (we were told, that we are not allowed to bring water to the ship), they were delivered to the cabin the next day. Within 5 metres we saw bottled water in the Duty Free shop and the shop-assistant said, we can take them to the cabin(!) A little confusing.
The cabin was ready at 1 p.m., we were in by 1.15 p.m. Until then we had lunch in the Windjammer. The food was OK. We went there again about 5 o`clock, but now we were sitting in the Island Grill at the back of the ship by the window. We think the selection is slightly superior here. The chicken was really delicious. The staff take the dirty plates away quite quickly.
Our cabin was an outside cabin, on Deck 2, which is big enough and well equipped. There are lots of hangers in the wardrobe and little storage places hiding where you don`t expect them. Our cabin attendant, Carlos, was very helpful. When we left the cabin for a meal, he tidied it up again. We had a Boat Drill at 5.15 p.m. I was pleased that we didin`t have to wear our life jackets to the Muster Station. The ship departure was due to be 7 p.m., but there was a fuel delay and didn`t leave port until 8 p.m.
We ordered breakfast from the Room Service for 8-8.30, it was in the room at 8.10. Don`t try to order Room Service on the day of a trip, go to the Windjammer instead. The cabin number and the required breakfast time is not really visible, they are on the front of the order slip. We slept very well, no noise from the neighbourhood.
We received the Departure Questionnaire on the 2nd day. There is a possibility to choose an Express Departure - 6.30-7.00 a.m. and Late Departure as well on the last day of the Cruise. On the evening of the 6th day, in Villefranche, the weather conditions became poor and the doors to the docks were all sealed. Next day the weather still was very windy, so the doors were closed for the night. The sea was even more rough. We had an evening meal in the Magic Flute dining room, our waiter was very helpful,he gave me a green apple, which is good against feeling seasick

Add To Plan
Journey to the Royal Park Resort for an exuberant performance of water puppetry. Devised more than a thousand years ago by villagers from the Red River Delta in northern Vietnam to celebrate the end of rice harvests, mark religious festivals and entertain the royal court, water puppetry has evolved over the centuries from folk art to a more established art form. An important part of Vietnam's cultural heritage, this theatric form, not found anywhere in the world but Vietnam, has a traditional link to the earth, water and the local rice farmers, and is referred to as Soul of the Rice Fields. The puppets range in height from 12 to 40 inches and weigh from two to ten pounds. Many of the puppets are so heavy and complex that two or three people are required to manipulate them. During the performance, the puppeteers hide themselves behind a long screen and manipulate the wooden puppets with bamboo rods and strings while standing chest-deep in water. The show depicts events in the country's history, infused with a blend of poetry, fireworks and the watery reflections of the brilliantly colored puppets. A traditional Vietnamese band sitting to the side of the stage accompanies the performance with the alluring music of bamboo flutes, drums, bells and single-string violins. Following the exhilarating performance, return to the ship.

Board trims redistricting options to two, for now
And then there were two. Probably.
The Henrico County School Board earlier this month eliminated from consideration one of three redistricting options created by a committee of citizens for the new Kaechele Elementary School in Short Pump. The board agreed that Option 3 (Revised Option F) would have too significant a domino effect, shifting too many students at other elementary schools and potentially costing the system Title I funding at Ridge Elementary School.
But the board also directed the school system's planning staff members to review the two remaining plans and consider tweaking them or creating a hybrid option of those two if possible. The board is scheduled to hold a public hearing to receive more feedback from the community during its Dec. 6 meeting at Hermitage High School, beginning at 6 p.m.
During its Nov. 8 work session, the board heard from its redistricting committee, which met 11 times during a two-month period to create the three options and also presented drafts during two public meetings to receive citizen feedback.
The majority of committee members favored Option 2 (Revised Option E), which would move about 36 percent more students than Option 1 (Revised Option A) among the affected elementary schools but would present the best set of compromises to all involved communities, according to redistricting committee vice chairwoman Alice Ann Howard. That map also would do the best job creating boundaries by major roads and geographical landmarks and would not change middle or high school feeder patterns.
Option 1 would provide the best enrollment balance across all elementary schools affected by the redistricting and would ensure that none of those schools were over capacity through 2016, redistricting committee chairman Bill Panak said. But it also would require a few irregular boundaries and would mean that not every community would receive a preferred option. It also would change feeder patterns for 333 students.
In addition to setting boundaries for Kaechele Elementary, the committee was tasked with providing relief for other nearby schools forecasted to exceed their capacity soon and to provide relief for those at or above 95 percent capacity currently. The committee considered the boundaries of 12 elementary schools when creating its maps.
Several School Board members expressed a desire to use West Broad Street as a dividing line between elementary school zones – ensuring that schools north of the road drew only from communities to the north, while schools to the south drew only from the south. Committee members said they had the same desires but were unable to make them a reality without involving even more schools in the process.
"We ran out of room," Howard said of the committee's attempts to use the road as a north-south boundary.
Still, School Board Chairwoman Diana Winston directed planning staff members to take another look and determine if that goal still might be accomplished.
Howard conceded that all three options underutilized Three Chopt Elementary, which is comfortably under capacity. But, she said, moving other students into the school's zone would have required shifting boundaries of schools beyond the 12 originally under consideration.
Map 3 would have moved 160 low-income students from Ridge Elementary to Pinchbeck, likely threatening Ridge's designation as a Title I school. Title I is a federal designation that provides extra funding to schools with a certain percentage of low-income students. Ridge would fall below that threshold with the move, while Pinchbeck would not quite reach it even with the addition of those students, Deputy Superintendent Pat Kinlaw said.
Once the board adopts new boundaries, rising fourth- and fifth-graders at any of the affected schools will be able to remain at their current schools if they choose. Students who move to the district to begin fourth or fifth grade, however, must attend the school designated by the new boundaries.

MANCHESTER — Whether swimmers can hit the water at Black Beach today depends on the results of a water test taken Wednesday.
Town officials closed the Ocean Street beach Wednesday morning after testing, done weekly, found a high bacteria count in the water, according to the town's Board of Health.
A new sample was taken Wednesday morning at Black Beach and should that result be satisfactory, the beach would reopen to swimming today, the Board of Health said.
All five of the other Manchester beaches — West Manchester, Tuck's, Singing, White, and Grey/Magnolia — have passed weekly beach water testing for bacteria and are open to swimming.
Weekly beach water testing at all six Manchester beaches will continue until Labor Day.
At various times this summer, Black, Tuck's Point and West Manchester beaches have been temporarily closed to swimming, having failed the weekly beach water testing for bacteria.
The state's Department of Public Health states that any beach must be closed for swimming if there are more than 104 bacteria colony forming units per 100 milliliters of water.
Updates on the beach's status are available on the town website, and also from the Board of Health at 978-526-7385.

Reflections of past, present and future.
Jan. 10, 2009 - Jan. 12, 2009: Days 7-9
Over the last few days of our trip, we engaged in a range of new adventures - from zip-lining hundreds of feet atop a vast valley to swimming beneath a towering waterfall to exploring Victoria City for souvenirs.
On our drive back to Matamoros, we again encountered intimidating tanks rolling past us, but this time, they numbered in the hundreds and occupied the entire right lane for endless miles into the distance. They drove by only a few feet away from our van and carried numerous gunmen - some of whom even had their rifles pointed towards our direction. I eased my apprehension by sleeping the majority of the way, or maybe I was just really exhausted. In any case, the tanks made for a memorable conclusion to what has proved to be an enlightening journey full of notable challenges and self-discovery.
As the group of us boarded the plane out of the Brownsville airport - now, as a group of friends with numerous shared memories - I spent some time reflecting on all that I had seen and experienced.
Throughout my journey, I found myself struggling with my inability to provide sustained comfort and treatment to those in need. It frustrates me that even in a world where technological advancements and medical breakthroughs have become common occurrences rather than rarities, there still remains so much we cannot do - so many basic needs that remain unmet, so many individuals who continue to lack good health or any means to attain it. Making quality healthcare affordable and available to all continues to be an elusive goal, but its resolution relies on more than just formulating plans and hoping for its realization - it will take revitalized action and the sustained efforts of many.
A new age of globalization is already upon us, marking unprecedented exchanges of people, ideas and resources. The world has become, in many ways, less distant and more accessible. As much as it has and continues to expedite the spread of technology, business, and efforts towards global cooperation, it also means the more rapid spread of disease - as the recent swine flu outbreak can attest to. Issues that used to only affect one part of the world can now have widespread, global ramifications. We are now more than ever intertwined with the fates of one another and we can no longer be defined solely by the nation in which we reside - the actions of one nation inevitably affects us all - as members of the global society. In the betterment of the human race, we are only as strong as our weakest members. To this end, our health and our abilities to sustain it must be regarded as fundamental rights and must be considered as some of the highest priorities of any responsible government.
It will take more than the work of a single nation to mediate global disparities in healthcare - it must be a far-reaching, global initiative. It will require the implementation of multinational task forces to reform healthcare models that do not work and to set up minimum standards for efficient and effective healthcare delivery. Someday, when I have amassed the knowledge, the resources and the level of expertise to do so, I hope to play my part in reaching these ends.
Recently, I read an article entitled "To Hell with Good Intentions" by Monsignor Ivan Illich that led me to question and reflect upon my actions and behavior while service learning in Mexico.
This controversial article proposes that there is an atmosphere of hypocrisy prevailing in America. In particular, Monsignor Illich attacks those American "do-gooders" who feel as though they are sacrificing their time, money and energy in order to "save" or "serve" the underprivileged in Mexico - or for that matter, any developing nation. He identifies these acts of "service" as idealistic and offensive, stating that nobody is helped by these "good intentions". These volunteers, by imposing pretentious values onto underprivileged individuals, are merely creating disorder, because they "do not understand what they are doing or what people think of them". When this happens, they are no longer serving others in a reciprocal relationship, but rather, doing service unto others who become hindered by their efforts.
There is some truth to these statements: when individuals "blindly" serve others solely for the sake of fulfilling some "personal legacy" or to satisfy their own needs for "personal empowerment" while disregarding the attitudes and views of those they serve, they may be hurting rather than helping. Perhaps, effective and beneficial service should stem from a thorough understanding of the problem through the community's perspective, along with a careful consideration of the values among different cultures and different individuals, so that solutions can be found to appropriately respond to these differences.
It is important to remember that although bettering humanity may be the overarching intent of service, good intentions do not always lead to "good" outcomes that are beneficial to both server and receiver. Service should be focused on providing for the needs of the receiver, with the benefits provided to servers constituting byproducts of the good they provide to others.
In this light, I can understand Monsignor Illich's concerns and even find elements of his criticism relevant to my own experiences in Mexico. On numerous occasions, I felt as though I was intruding on the lives of those I was hoping to treat, or that I was forcing my own values and standards on others who did not desire them, or that I was somehow compromising the pride of those I wished to help for my own personal benefit. How can I, a 20-year old student with few "real-life" experiences, even begin to understand the needs and problems of people who live very differently from myself, let alone try to solve them? In many ways, I likely benefited more from my experiences than the patients themselves. I do not know if my "good intentions" achieved the purpose I hoped they would.
But as long as we keep striving to understand and striving to serve those who need it the most, I cannot see the bad of possessing "good intentions". It is when we no longer have these good intentions, when we no longer have any desire to serve, when we, as a society, lack those individuals who are willing to give the time and money and energy to help others, that humanity truly suffers. It is not solely in the fulfillment of the goals of service that makes it great, but in the process of trying to achieve them. If we never stop trying, then we never really give up on the dream. And as long as the dream of service is alive, then we have not settled for the status quo, and we open ourselves up to actively provide change for the better - only then can we collectively build a brighter tomorrow.

Divers are expected to hit the Maumee river on Monday, after a fisherman found some hair in the water.
Searchers for Baby Elaina Steinfurth have urged boaters and fishermen to be vigilant and look for evidence. This weekend, Patrick Howard was out fishing with a friend underneath the Anthony Wayne Bridge when his line got snagged and nearly snapped his pole.
"I finally got my hook to come unloose, then once I got that out and was getting ready to cut it and call it a day and head home, that's when I discovered hair wrapped around my fishing hook."
After calling police, Howard says he flagged down search volunteers in the area. Police officers collected the tuft of brownish blonde hair.
It's still not known if the hair is human or animal.
Elaina's grandfather Terry Steinfurth says, "We're hoping it proves something one way or the other. We just need to find her and bring her home. It's getting harder the longer it goes." He says the family was frustrated when authorities told them the discovery did not warrant a dive team.
The family said divers will be back in the water on Monday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by BKing Excellent Dish Washer We love this dishwasher and its features. Does a great job in cleaning and is extremely quiet. The only con I can comment on is that the wash time for a normal wash is very long (over 2 hours). You can shorten the wash cycle by selecting Quick and Dry or Quick. August 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by The Berlin couple Best appliance we bought!! We just built a new house and moved in on Thursday July 25, 2014. The first time we used the new dishwasher we had installed I had to check to make sure it was turned on. It was so amazingly quiet we couldn't believe it. And, the dishes come out squeaky clean without spots. We also love the convenient rack system that keeps the dishes separated while being washed. We knew LG wouldn't let us down and they certainly didn't! July 30, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Barbie LG Dishwasher Solid Dishwasher Have only had this dishwasher for three months which is the reason for not giving an "Excellent" overall rating. Very simple to use and extremely pleased with the outcome of my dishes. I love the flexibility of being able to load the dishes in unlimited configurations. We live in an area that has very hard water and I am very happy with the way this dishwasher handles this issue. Love the different wash settings and with each I've had streak-free sparkling dishes every time. June 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ginger71 Good looking/Quiet/High Quality/High Performance I've had this dishwasher since January 2014 and am embarrassed to say that I have used it only a half dozen times. I'm still renovating and haven't started entertaining to any great degree yet. The adjustable top rack is a new innovation for me and very convenient. This unit is so quiet I have to check the lights to confirm that it is running. My only criticism is that the control buttons are very hard to read and would suggest back-lighting them for easier viewing. The machine cleans thoroughly and efficiently and I recommend it to everyone who is looking for a new dishwasher. May 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by momof2girls Very quiet and stylish This dishwasher is extremely quiet. The rack dividers fold down to accommodate any dish. I like the silverware dividers as well. The only problem I've had is that my glasses are coming out foggy. I never had this issue with my previous dishwasher and haven't been using a different detergent or rinse aid. May 16, 2014

Samba 3.4 and 4 Merge into Franky
Developers of the free Samba server have packed the newest version 4 into the 3.4 tarball to form Franky.
The combined Samba branch can optionally be compiled as a merged build, instructions for which are available on the Samba Franky website. Apart from having to use "--enable-merged-build", 3.4 installation can proceed as usual.
The Samba 3.4 changelog lists the enhancements in 3.4. One of them is a change of the default "passdb" password backend to "tdbsam" (to allow more flexibility for per user settings), which nevertheless allows keeping with the previous "smbpasswd" or converting to the new one.

The city of Minneapolis is giving away 250 radon test kits this Tuesday, while supplies last. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. and the first cause among nonsmokers. More than 21,000 deaths are attributed to radon each year in the U.S.
The Minnesota Department of Health estimates that one in three existing Minnesota homes has radon levels that pose a large health risk over many years of exposure. Radon exposure, however, is preventable, and radon problems in homes can be fixed. The first step is to test for radon at home.
FOX 9 Investigators: Radon Radiation
8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 15
Minneapolis Development Review, 250 S. Fourth St., Room 300, Minneapolis
(one per household, while supplies last)
The test kits are easy to use, and postage and testing instructions are included in the kit. The giveaway test kits are donated by the Minnesota Department of Health.
For homes that are found to have a certain level radon, there may be assistance available to reduce the gas within the home. Income qualified home owners of properties in Minneapolis with a reading of 4 picocuries per liter, or pCi/L, or higher might qualify for grant services to assist with the installation of a radon reduction system.
For more information on high levels of radon and radon grant services, please contact:

Summer gas prices have been a roller coaster ride for all of us this year.
One day gas is $3.35 and the next day you're paying close to $4.00. According to gas experts, the Midwest saw some of the craziest swings in prices.
"A fluctuation. Just up and down and up and down," said Freida Miller, while she filled up her tank.
Freida Miller pulled her car into the gas station in Lakeville as soon as she saw gas was only $3.36 a gallon. She said it's because she didn't want to wait to see prices go up again based on the see-saw pricing she's noticed lately.
"Sometimes you can go in the morning and you can fill up and then by the afternoon it's 10-20 cents more," said Miller.
Miller isn't the only one who's noticed the roller coaster pricing this summer. Experts from GasBuddy.com say the average of the three highest single-day price spikes in the South Bend area was 22 cents; double the national average of 11 cents.
However, Michiana, also has seen nearly twice as many price drops as the rest of the country.
"Prices jump around the most significant of any area in the country here in the great lakes," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com. "Prices also decrease among the fastest in the country so it really is a roller-coaster."
Dennis Glander says he's become a regular at $ave Gas Station in Lakeville because they always seem to have the best prices. He says he sticks to filling up at just one station because it helps him avoid the headache of dealing with all the fluctuating prices around town.
"We can be $3.36 one day and then all of sudden its $3.59 or $3.49 the next day, and really it can change in a matter of hours," said Glander.
The experts from GasBuddy say part of the reason prices change so much in Michiana is because of how competitive the local market is.
"A lot of competitors follow each other up and down and when one raises prices significantly everybody tends to follow," said DeHaan.
No one expects the ride in prices to stop anytime soon. Some drivers say the best thing is to fill up whenever you know the price is right.
"When I see it below $3.40 I don't want to wait any longer. I go ahead and fill it up," said Gary Beever, who bought gas for $3.36/gallon Tuesday.
Of course predicting the prices also becomes an issue for experts when they are dealing with daily changes around the area. Experts said they think gas prices will be where they are now Labor Day Weekend, but they wouldn't be surprised if there was an unexpected spike.
"Its tough getting the timing right even just two weeks out we really don't know what trends will develop on the market," said DeHaan.

Harold and Maude
This unconventional love story between a spunky septuagenarian and a listless 20-something packs a lively jab in the stomach, both unexpected and awakening. Standing tall and driving recklessly toward her 80th birthday, Maude has the best of intentions and no boundaries to hold her back. Harold, her unlikely lover with a strange affinity for staging his own death, has all the youth and money one could desire, but no spark for life. What unfolds is an unpredictably witty (sometimes snarky) love story laced together with a fantastic musical score by Cat Stevens. Talk to your girlfriends about the line between innocent romance and cradle robbing. I liked the movie for the friendship but the age difference made my sister uncomfortable and ultimately ruined the movie for her. How old is too old, how young is too young? In 2009, how much does that matter?Power Couples for Your Palate
Quirky yet undeniably funny, this movie pairs perfectly with almond lace cookies...old fashioned with some unexpected texture and a deliciously sweet aftertaste. Pour yourself and your girlfriends a glass of a late harvest Riesling (grab this at your local Trader Joe's or supermarket to keep it simple). Make it a generous glass and don't hold yourself back from that third (or in my case, fourth) cookie -- this is, after all, a movie about celebrating life.
Next movie up: Moonstruck. Snap out of it and tell us what you think!

Alessandra Ambrosio attended the 2012 GQ Men of the Year party, held at Chateau Marmont in LA on Tuesday evening.
The Victoria's Secret model wore a Sally LaPointe Spring 2013 dress.
Her white long-sleeve leather dress with cut-outs at the waist featured a black leather waistband and ivory draped pieces on the skirt.
I like this look on the runway, but it looks a tad wrinkly and possibly too big for Alessandra.
The overall look feels a bit awkward.
She styled her look with black Christian Louboutin 'Pigalle' studded pumps and a black satin clutch.
Glossy nude lips and smoky eyes completed the look.

Was this an exact replacement motor 4 UR unit?? Did U also replace the capacitor with the new motor. Different motor use different capacitors. Go back to where U bought the motor and ask for the correct cap for this mtr(unless U know 4 sure that the exisitng cap from the old mtr will work on this new one)
:poison: Please B careful when installing a new capacitor. Turn all power off to the unit. Let it sit awhile. Remove the wires from the exisiting cap, making a diagram so they go back on correctly, and use electrical tape on the loose ends. Better to B safe then sorry;)
Then use a screwdriver to ground 1 terminal of the cap to the metal of the unit. That will discharge the cap. Its now safe to remove from the unit and install UR new cap.
Also recheck that U have the wiring correct as per the small diagram on the motor.
Hope this helps:)
