Washing machine temperature guideBack to advice guides
Improve your washing by finding out which program temperatures you should use. Plus, find out what happens to your clothes and bills when the temperature goes down.
Washing machine temperature guide
- Washing at 20°C can reduce running costs by 66% compared to washing at 40°C
- We base our washing machine testing on the 40°C programs as they're the most popular
- A 60°C wash increases running costs a lot compared to 40°C but is good for greasy stains
As of December 2013, all washing machines in the UK will have to have a 20°C option visible on the control panel - but what happens to cleaning power and running costs at this temperature?
When we tested five machines on the 20°C-cotton program, we found that turning down the temperature from 40°C dramatically reduced running costs - by an average of 66%.
And we found that cleaning power is only slightly worse than at 40°C, with just our olive-oil-based stain not washing out as well.
Using 20°C instead of 40°C could reduce running costs by 66%
Over a quarter of Which? members are now using a 30°C program on a regular basis. When we tested the 30°C-cotton program, we found that running costs are reduced by about 46% compared with the 40°C program.
Similar to the 20°C-cotton programs we tested, it was the olive-oil-based stain that didn't wash out as well at this temperature. However, more soiling was lifted compared with washing at 20°C.
This is the most common wash temperature used by Which? members. It's suitable for cotton, linen or viscose, acrylics, acetate, wool mixtures and wool/polyester blends – in other words, most everyday items.
As most Which? members we asked frequently use the 40°C temperature setting, we base our testing on the 40°C-cotton and synthetics wash programs.
Most Which? members wash at 40°C, so we base our testing on the 40°C cotton and synthetics wash programs.
This wash is suitable for polyester/cotton mixtures, nylon, cotton and viscose, but with modern detergents most people find 40°C adequate for their needs.
The 60°C program generally delivers slightly better cleaning than the 40°C program and is ideal for bedding and towels. We've taken a closer look at some washing machines' 60°C cotton programs, and discovered that two thirds didn't actually reach 60°C. For more on our findings and how it affects your cleaning, see our guide to washing at 60°C.
This is the hottest wash program you'll find on most machines. It's only suitable for white cottons and linens that show the dirt. The introduction of modern detergents and synthetic fabrics means most people rarely use this program.
Other commonly used washing machines programs
Washing machines often have as many as 20 programs for washing, rinsing and spinning. For more information on these other programs, see our washing machine jargon buster.

Hundreds of guests, including new students, educators, spiritual leaders, and city and University officials, were in attendance August 27 as Benedictine University at Mesa became the first four-year Catholic university in Arizona. The historic moment was celebrated with a blessing and ribbon-cutting of Benedictine's new academic building, Gillett Hall, at 225 E. Main St. in downtown Mesa.
Gillett Hall is named in honor of Willis Gillett, chairman of the Benedictine University Board of Trustees. It has capacity for nine classrooms, including an interactive classroom with non-traditional, flexible furniture, a nutrition lab featuring kitchenettes with residential appliances, a computer lab, chapel, "Spirit Store," which will sell Benedictine merchandise, a library center and a community room.
Benedictine University at Mesa offers seven bachelor's degree programs in a lecture-free, collaborative, interactive and technology-enhanced format, including a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Bachelor of Arts in Theology, Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Organizational Behavior. A minor in Religious Studies is also available.
Benedictine University is helping to prepare students for an increasingly China-centric global community – as well as travel to and business and research in China – by offering a minor in Chinese Language (Mandarin) with an option for a Chinese Culture track.
The Chinese Language minor will foster students' awareness of the increasingly global and multi-linguistic nature of society, allow them to connect specific issues in Chinese culture and history to current trends in Chinese society, and prepare them to communicate effectively in the context of another culture.
The minor will also allow students to explore more study abroad opportunities in China. The University has formed 14 partnerships with Chinese universities. Benedictine offers master's degrees in Business Administration and Management Information Systems in China and has approximately 1,000 alumni from these programs.
A Chinese Language minor could also complement current majors such as International Business and Economics and Political Science as well as other majors where communicating across cultures is essential.
The vacant area between the Kindlon Hall of Learning and the Coal Ben will eventually be home to a high-tech, multi-story business building that will offer students a new level of learning.
In addition to classrooms, study areas and offices, the building will house the College of Business' internationally-recognized doctoral programs in Organization Development and Values-Driven Leadership. Tentative plans include a 600-seat auditorium which will facilitate lectures and symposiums by some of the leading business thinkers in the world.
The building will also enhance Benedictine's partnerships with universities and corporations around the world, and attract top-tier students and educators.
Visitors passing through Benedictine's 108-acre campus now have a central location to begin their visit—the new Neff Welcome Center. Work on the $2.5 million center on the eastern edge of the school's Lisle campus was completed last September.
The Neff Farmhouse, one of the oldest stone structures in DuPage County and which until recently had been used as a home by the school's retired caretaker, was incorporated into the center.
The 2,700-square-foot welcome center also includes event space, freshman admissions offices, a conference room and a brick patio for University and alumni events and gatherings. The center fully extends the University's welcoming spirit to all visitors.
The Benedictine University football team, which won back-to-back Northern Athletics Conference titles in 2010 and 2011 and made consecutive appearances in the NCAA Division III football championships, has a new place to call home.
The Borsellino Family Football Center, a 4,100-square-foot locker facility made possible in large part by the generosity of the Borsellino family of Oak Brook, opened last August as part of the renovation of the Dan and Ada Rice Center.
The new locker facility, located on the west side of the building and taking in part of the old racquetball courts, includes 130 hardwood lockers, a "chalk talk" multimedia area, a team showering facility and a "Champions Room" honoring past Eagles greats.
Benedictine University is always striving to provide students with the tools to succeed. That includes offering majors that fit the needs of business, health and education. Two recent additions are noted here.
The Business Analytics major is designed to address the growing demand for people with analytical skills and strong backgrounds in business fundamentals. Students who major in Business Analytics receive thorough exposure to analytics-related principles and the hands-on tools used in today's business. Classes focus on how analytics is applied to managerial decisions in business.
The program prepares students for careers in corporate management across most business functions, management and data analysis, analytical consulting, financial planning, project management and investment banking.
An emphasis on health and physical fitness in the United States has created a large number of rewarding careers in collegiate or professional athletics, strength and conditioning, personal training, corporate fitness, and at community organizations like park districts or the local YMCA.
Benedictine now offers a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Exercise and Sports Studies major that provides students an opportunity to enter those areas without completing a teacher education program. The major can also lead to graduate study in Clinical Exercise Physiology.
The Exercise and Sports Studies major includes courses in sports administration, sports psychology, sports law, drug use and prevention, the care of injuries, current issues in health, and a wide range of topics related to health and fitness.
The strategy for the classic game of Monopoly has been extensively studied, but last summer Benedictine mathematics professor Anthony DeLegge, Ph.D., and his student researchers wanted to know if those strategies are still the best ones to utilize when playing an increasingly popular form of the game utilizing "Speed Die."
The College of Science Summer Research program offers Benedictine students the opportunity to expand their knowledge, hone laboratory skills and gain hands-on experience by working closely with faculty on a variety of scientific research projects.
Research opportunities are also available at nearby Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Argonne National Laboratories. This experience allows students to gain expertise in a lab setting, expands their understanding of classroom work and enhances their resumes.
The dream of the late Fr. Michael Komechak, O.S.B., was finally realized August 18 when the art gallery that bears his name on the fifth floor of Kindlon Hall opened to family and guests for a private reception.
Fr. Michael began collecting art in 1951 when he paid $10 for a portfolio of screen prints. One of the earliest and biggest art patrons at Benedictine was Komechak's mother, Elizabeth, who donated more than $100,000 to purchase and frame various pieces.
The Benedictine art collection now contains more than 4,000 original works of art plus hundreds of fine arts posters. The collection includes sculptures, paintings, drawings, photographs, calligraphy, ceramics and other craft and folk art pieces. Much of the collection is made up of original prints.
The first public showing of art at the gallery features some 73 pieces that were favorites of Fr. Michael. It is the first of many rotating art exhibitions that will be held at the gallery, which will also provide space for the University's fine art students, lectures and gatherings for local art aficionados.
Benedictine University's golf teams now have access to a state-of-the-art, indoor training facility that allows student-athletes to practice and perfect their skills all year long at the new $600,000 Bartlett Golf Center in the Dan and Ada Rice Center.
The facility, made possible in part by the generosity of Bill and Gayle Bartlett, contains interactive golf simulators complete with 12-foot-wide screens and two 360-degree systems of infrared beams that provide exact and immediate ball-flight statistics with live and fluid 3-D environments and multiple camera angles.
The center is primarily used by the golf teams, but is also available to all students through student activities and physical education courses. The center also includes a putting green and chipping area—making it a truly exceptional facility.
Library users want quiet reading and study areas, while also looking for a place to meet and socialize. They want computers to access timely information and cutting-edge research, but they also want to be able to get their hands on printed resources not available online.
Members of the Benedictine community now have such a facility at their fingertips. The new Benedictine University Library opened its doors last fall following completion of a three-month, $3 million construction project.
The project included the buildout of the lower level of the Kindlon Hall of Learning—which now features four new high-tech classrooms—and a reconfiguration of the second and third floors of the Kindlon tower into a reading room, an interactive area and an information technology help center.
Seeking to further enhance its reputation as a leading provider of outstanding academic programs and to achieve its mission of graduating students who are good citizens and good stewards of society, Benedictine began its expansion into Mesa, Ariz., this fall.
The University, which will become the first Catholic institution of higher education in Arizona, began business operations at a service center at 51 E. Main St. and will offer classes beginning September 2013 at 225 E. Main St., both located in downtown Mesa.
Initial degree offerings will include a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice, Bachelor of Arts in Communication Arts, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, Bachelor of Arts in Theology, Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Bachelor of Business Administration in Management and Organizational Behavior, in addition to a minor in Religious Studies.
The University unveiled a new $6.7 million fitness center, training facility and office project in October 2011, part of the much broader renovation and revitalization of the Dan and Ada Rice Center.
The fitness facility encompasses more than 11,000 square feet, and includes a 7,500- square-foot lower level dedicated to cardio and circuit training and a 4,200-square-foot strength training mezzanine that contains both free weights and strength training equipment to cater to a variety of users.
The project also included the construction of an advanced training facility featuring six training tables and hot and cold water tubs, coaches' offices and classrooms, the Benedictine Hall of Fame and a conference room overlooking the rejuvenated Rice Center Arena.
For nearly 20 years, the electronic sign on the corner of Maple Avenue and College Road has been passers-by's first visual contact with the University. The sign provided information on open houses, sporting events, visiting lecturers, concerts and community news.
The sign also reminded students that they may be running later to class, but would not be too cold once they stepped outside their car.
But parts for the aged sign were increasingly difficult to find, necessitating the construction of a new LED message center that will continue to provide passers-by, students, staff and visitors with the latest University and community information.
The St. Benedict Chapel, which for years was located in the lower level of the Krasa Center, has moved to the fourth floor of the Kindlon Hall of Learning where it shares space with the new, expanded offices of University Ministry.
The added space allows University Ministry to better meet the spiritual needs of the Benedictine community while providing a permanent home for the Center for Mission and Identity, now under the full-time direction of Assistant to the President for Mission Integration Alicia Tait, D.M.A., and the Office of Intercultural Education led by Carol Swett.
The chapel offers daily Mass at noon in addition to other prayer services and adoration times throughout the year.

À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
The Baths is a geological phenomenon so spectacular, it warrants a ferry ride to nearby Virgin Gorda, where you'll enjoy nearly 2-hours in this beach-blessed paradise.
From the pier, it's an exciting ferry ride aboard a fast Speedy's Ferry through the beautiful Sir Francis Drake Channel to historic Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda. It's a picturesque journey that becomes even more magnificent as you drive to The Baths National Park on the island's southern tip in your open-air safari bus.
The beautiful seaside setting is the island's most visited, photographed attraction, especially the shoreline where a slew of massive granite boulders is clustered. These unique rock formations reveal the volcanic origins of tiny Virgin Gorda, or "Fat Virgin," an island Columbus named because he thought its profile resembled a rotund woman lying on her side.
During free time at this beach that is characterized by its array of massive granite boulders that tumble upon the beach, you can explore the grottoes and hidden tidal pools, which are illuminated by dramatic shafts of sunlight. The largest boulders measure approximately 40 feet across and many of them are stacked atop others, inviting you to wander about the crevices. Thousands of years of erosion from the sea have smoothed most of the surfaces.
The crystalline water here is teeming with colorful marine life, so you may want to enjoy snorkeling the coral ledge just offshore. There's also a trail to adjoining Devil's Bay, which is usually less crowded. Enjoy a rum punch at the gazebo above The Baths before retracing your route back to the pier in Tortola.
Please note: Walking on this tour is strenuous as the footpath to reach The Baths is rough and uneven. This tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Participants should be in good physical condition. Bathing suits should be worn under a cover-up and guests should bring their own towel. Hats, sunglasses, sunscreen and comfortable walking shoes are strongly recommended. Guests taking part in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility.

Photo: Denver CO, United States New Year's Eve 2014
Rumor has it that the very first building ever constructed in Denver was indeed a drinking establishment. True or not, this says quite a lot about this city's effervescent nightlife. Denver's 19th century architecture also gave room to some really stunning high-ceiling party venues around town. So, whether it's to catch a great live show or kick back with some suds, Denver truly brims for New Years Eve. With options for all tastes, you will find here exciting NYE events that perfectly embody the city's laid-back attitude and drag a crowd that really knows how to party.
A massive NYE Block Party will take over the Crowne Plaza Convention Center to bring you more than thirty futuristic themed entertainers, dancers, and mesmerizing theatrical performances. Have fun playing laser tag and making memories for life in the photo booths. For your convenience, there are four different hotels booking rooms with discount for the night. The historic Sherman Event Center provides an upscale atmosphere with fun and games, state of art sound and décor to 1,000 classy partygoers. You will have the opportunity to dance in the extravagant grand ballroom – listed on the National and Colorado registry of historic places –, while listening to live DJ performances and playing Vegas-style casino games. Dress to impress!
Feeling nostalgic? Put on your fedora and slip back to the roaring 20's with the classic elegance of art deco at Hyatt's Denver Tech Center. This White Rose Gala NYE event is inspired by the story of the Great Gatsby, and will attract over 3,000 sexy and well-groomed attendees. Needless to say there will be tasty top-shelf cocktails and, if you want something even more exclusive, VIP tables are available for you and your friends to enjoy the last ngiht of 2013.
You'd better grab your tickets in advance because we don't want you to be left out with no place to party in the New Years Eve – the hottest NYE parties in Denver tend to sell out very fast!

By JAMES E. CASTO
For The State Journal
West Virginia state government has made significant improvements in the treatment it accords business, Tim Duke, president and CEO of Steel of West Virginia told a Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce breakfast meeting on March 9.
Unfortunately, Duke said, there's still much more that needs to be done.
Speaking as part of the Chamber's "Coffee and Conversation" series of programs, Duke offered a brief overview of his company's operations and then shared his personal list of the pros and cons of doing business in West Virginia.
Founded in 1909 as the West Virginia Rail Co., the steel plant occupies a 45-acre site between the Ohio River and the Marshall University campus east of Hal Greer Boulevard. Known in the industry as what's called a "mini-mill," the plant takes scrap metal, melts it and turns it into a wide variety of products, from cross-members for truck trailers and posts for highway guardrails to steel parts for manufactured homes and recreational vehicles.
With a workforce of approximately 500 employees and an annual payroll of $35 million, the plant has current sales "approaching $350 million a year," Duke said.
"Since 1982, we've invested a total of $200 million to upgrade and modernize our operations," he said.
In addition to its Huntington plant, Steel Dynamics Inc., the corporate parent of Duke's company, has three plants in Indiana and one in Virginia. The situation in West Virginia, Duke said, often compares unfavorably with that in the other two states where the company operates.
In offering his pros and cons Duke had three urgent suggestions for state government: "Lower our taxes; break down some of the barriers, such as (giving us) a fairer legal environment and becoming a right-to-work state; and establish better skill training programs for the state's work force."
The steel executive gave high marks to the state's economic development team and to its environmental officials but blasted the state's legal environment.
"It's not good compared with the other states. There are too many lawsuits and there is no intermediate appellate court."
Praising the dependability and quality of the electric service provided Steel of West Virginia by Appalachian Power Co., Duke nevertheless noted that the plant's electric bill has gone from $568,000 a month in 2006 to a current $1.2 million a month.
"We have the highest rate of our sister plants," he said.
Duke described the progress that West Virginia has made in reducing workers' compensation insurance costs as "unbelievable," noting that premium rates have declined more than 50 percent since West Virginia privatized its system in 2006.
"We would not be here today were it not for that change," he said.
West Virginia has been reducing its corporate income tax, but Virginia's rate is still significantly lower, he said.
"Nor do we do well when it comes to personal income taxes, especially when compared with Indiana."
Unemployment taxes in West Virginia are far too high, he said.
"West Virginia personal property taxes are higher than our sister plants because those states exempt more inventory items from the tax base," he said.
Pointing out that Indiana and Virginia are right-to-work states and West Virginia is not, Duke said West Virginia, despite its strong union heritage and tradition, "really needs to be a right-to-work state."
Duke said Steel of West Virginia has a "wonderful pool" of workers but has a continuing problem recruiting the skilled plant workers it needs. West Virginia needs to do a better job of training its work force, he said.
Steel of West Virginia has dramatically improved its safety record "from 116 lost-time injuries in 1996 to zero lost time injuries in 2012, with that record continuing so far in 2013," he said. Because of its outstanding safety performance in 2012, the company is slated to receive the Don Dailey Safety Award presented by the Steel Manufacturers Association.

A host of stars, including many faces of the brand, took to the front row of Miu Miu's Fall 2014 show in Paris, France this morning (March 5) during Paris Fashion Week.
Rihanna: After looking chic in Chanel yesterday, she looked a hot mess today at Miu Miu. Over-styled and overworked in garish colours, nothing from the knees up is appealing to me. She wore a Prada red nappa leather and black shearling overcoat, paired with a tobacco and yellow intarsia-knit cashmere sweater and purple silk scarf, all from the Prada Fall 2014 collection.
Lea Seydoux: The French beauty cleanses my eyes from Rihanna's car-crash Couture, wearing a pretty pastel look featuring a petal-pink printed silk blouse and 'Ciré' vinyl pencil skirt with Jimmy Choo bronze heels. While the look reads spring, it is so very pretty and styled effortlessly that I just can't help but fall in love with it.

Chickow is a really nice change of pace. Intense sweet caramel and brown sugar with strong hazel nut flavors. I'm a fan. So adding bourbon....will that make it better?
The pour provides a rather dead looking beer, age can do this to beers and mix in higher abv and this isn't lively stuff. Dark brown color with some legs to at least speak about.
The nose brings out some almost fruit like esters which aren't expected hazel nut, oak, and well it kinda smells sour.
I get a lot of oak, vanilla, bourbon, and some hazel nut that I expected or at least assumed would come out. The odd thing is this sour element mixed with brown ale malt. This isn't the chickow I remember and the bourbon is a bit too strong.
I recall the normal chickow being a very rich and creamy beer. This is kinda watery and runny. The lack of carbonation is a huge negative.
I have a feeling there's going to be inconsistency in these bottles and it's very possible this is on the low end. That said given the price and the reality that normal Chickow is better and cheaper, give that one a try first and if you like it and want to see bourbon barrels added give this a tentative try. I may give next years release a shot since I do think this can work, but for now a pass for all but the most hardcore of fans.

2013 release.
A: Dark brown pour. Mid sized fluffy and very fizzy light brown head. Takes an aggressive pour to get much head out of it. Head fades out moderately quickly, leaving only the lightest little slashes of lacing here and there. Decent retention oddly enough.
S: Huh, whoa. I've never had the regular Chickow! but this is totally unique. It's like hazelnuts and brown sugar. Bourbon is a minor presence here with some caramel and toasted sugar. Get some decent vanilla too. Overall quite sweet smelling. No sign of booze.
T: Bourbon up front. Not super strong but it's there with some toffee and caramel. Lots of sweet hazelnut kicks in in the middle and dominates immediately. Decent chunk of vanilla with it again. Sweet and malty throughout. No real bitterness at all. Lingering bourbon and a little oak between sips.
M: Pretty heavy and a little astringent.
O: Not a bad brew. Hazelnut flavor is very strong and overshadows the other aspects of this beer. Bourbon is fairly weak in comparison but it does add some elements of complexity. Hazelnut flavor is good but very strong - a must-have for the hazelnut lover, obviously. It was a bit much for me but it's still a good brew and quite unique at that.

Never in 40+ cruise have we experienced such a shambles in what is the Celebrity Eclipse that sailed from Southampton to Cork for a 4 night mini break on 29th April 2011.
It took 3 days for a member of senior management to admit to us that they were short staff and were taken completely by surprise by 3000 thirsty Brits! Rubbish, you mean Celebrity have never sailed out of the UK???
There were numerous complaints made by us and many of our fellow passengers.
• At check in the new Celebrity online system meant that 3000 people turned up at the terminal at the same time. Complete chaos.
• Rude and indifferent Bar staff where everything was definitely too much trouble.
• Table service was almost completely nonexistent. If you wanted a drink in the majority of the bars you have to and get it yourself. This was more akin to a B&B than a luxury cruise.
• The bars would regularly run out of popular rinks such a wine and champagne. The bar staff would then disappear for 10 minutes and come back with one bottle of wine.
• The bars are designed to look pretty but there was no room for storage. All are free standing which means that staff have to leave the bar unattended to stock up.
• At dinner you were allowed about 4 minutes to peruse the menu. They really were keen to see the back of you as soon as you sat down.
• It was amazing how the food would always arrive at your table the same temperature - tepid. Nothing was hot except the French Onion Soup!
• On embarkation day we visited 2 bars. The Sky Lounge had 1 barman on duty with 9 people waiting to be served. The Passport Bar had 12 people waiting and 1 bar tender. This situation continued throughout the cruise.
• The waiters did not listen to your order i.e. one pine apple juice and one portion of sliced pineapple, brown toast and white toast. Result was two plates of sliced pineapple and no toast. This was just an example that continued throughout the 4 days.
• Wrote a letter of complaint to the Captain on the second full day on the ship but never received a response.
• Complained to reception within the first twelve hours of being on the ship requesting a meeting with the Food and Beverage Manager the next day. Instead, Tom the Assistant Guest Relations Manager left a voice mail message to the effect of "thanks for bringing your concerns to our attention and you will see a difference in the service standards when you are next in the bar." There was no difference in the bar or table service.
• Received a further telephone call from a Bar Tender saying similar.
• Finally received two voice mail messages from Carlos the Food and Beverage Manager who also said that as he was not able to catch us when we were in our cabin he would meet us in the evening when we were at dinner. We never saw him at dinner even though we did dine in the same restaurant every night at the same time.
I have never had a cruise whereby I was looking forward to getting off so soon as I had got on. After all of the hype of the new Solstice class of ships we were whipped into a frenzy of excitement and expectation that went overboard within minutes. We will not be sailing with them or Royal Caribbean again.

Following an objection by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA), a vote has been postponed on "contempt resolutions against White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former presidential political guru Karl Rove for failing to respond to subpoenas" regarding the U.S. attorney scandal. Specter, who asked Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) for a chance to "revise the draft resoltions, warned that the whole matter could end in federal court."
Specter blocks contempt vote.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Nearly three weeks later, Homeowners in East Peoria displaced from landslides are still looking for answers from the city.
At Tuesday night's City Council meeting, homeowners of Kaitlin Court were told by the city that no taxpayer dollars will be used to aid them.
The city has hired engineers to determine whether or not the homes are salvageable.
Homeowners we spoke to said they feel the houses should have never been built there in the first place.
"In '92 when my house was built," said landslide victim Shama Severinsen, "It was approved and it was deemed safe. Now they are saying okay well we have different building guidelines now, we would never have approved this now. It's like okay you can approve all the rules now that you want. That does not help the houses that were built back then when those rules were applied."
"Looking back, would these homes be allowed to be constructed?" said East Peoria Director of Planning and Development Ty Livingston. "I think there would be more information required. The historical information does not show anything that indicated the home site was unstable or unsafe to begin with."
If the homes are not deemed salvageable by the engineers, they will be demolished, possibly at the cost of the homeowners.
Victims of the landslide said they do not expect taxpayer dollars to aid them personally, but they do expect the city to fix the problem so this will not happen again.

Here's a phrase that'll wow them come election time
in November 2008: "Specially Designated Global
Terrorist Entity." As in whenever Washington goes
to the trouble of designating X a "global terrorist
entity" — the treatment it just gave the Lebanon-based Fatah al-Islam one week ago today – X is a Global Terrorist Entity, or SDGTE, therefore. If not some time sooner: Should the regime decide to sic' its peerless military upon Iran, say. Isn't Iran guilty of "serially killing" America's soldiers inside Iraq? Aren't "we" — to use the State Department's first-person plural form – "confronting Iranian behavior across a variety of different fronts"? Hasn't a new Iron Curtain — indeed, a "Green Curtain" — descended across this oil-rich region of the world, "dividing the Middle East between Iran's friends and foes"? And hasn't it already been more than four years since Washington initiated a good bloodletting on another continent? Why then wait 12 or 14 months to launch the next one? The trigger-finger's getting pretty itchy.
If one checks the most recent edition of the State Department's list of "foreign terrorist organizations" (see "U.S. Designates Foreign Terrorist Organizations," April 30, 2007), one will see that neither Iran's Revolutionary Guard nor Iran's Al-Quds force (Does such a group even exist?) made their way onto either list, namely the "Foreign Terrorist Organization" list or the "Groups of Concern" list.
But, we now read, the Washington regime stands ready to promote one or both of Al-Quds and the Revolutionary Guard not only to its "Foreign Terrorist Organizations" list. (There are, I believe, 43 members on this list at the moment.) But also to the more important — because so much more dramatic-sounding — so much more PR-conscious – "Specially Designated Global Terrorist Entities" list.
Imagine that.

Scott DeWaelsche
Scott DeWaelsche is a university instructor living in Seoul, South Korea who is passionate about education, sports, and travel. Early in his childhood, Scott's family moved from a suburban community in Michigan, to an urban environment in Phoenix, Arizona. He grew up in Arizona but his Michigan roots remain, in the form of a passionate love for his favorite childhood sports teams: The Red Wings, Lions, Tigers, Pistons, and Wolverines. Scott was weaned on Steve Yzerman, but grew to love Shane Doan. He idolized Isiah Thomas, but appreciated Steve Nash, too. He revered Alan Trammell and Kirk Gibson, and loves them still (as coaches for the Diamondbacks). Scott's love of sports as a youth has influenced him throughout his life, and it is the subject of much of what he writes today. Scott moved to Seoul permanently in 2009, where he has worked as a teacher at every level. He is passionate about traveling the globe, yet returns home to Arizona often.Read More »

The corrupt and cowardly Congress of the United States encourage the fbi to engage in all of the crimes described herein in order that they do not become victims of the kind of fbi extreme retaliation which is used to silence its own Special Agents.
See this report from fbi agent Theresa Foley who accurately observes that the fbi is (as I have *documented) a macabre and sick culture whose agents and operatives engage in or cover up torture, mayhem and murder:
Foley was assigned to investigate inmates at Guantanamo Bay, but soon became an unofficial inmate of the same diseased ridden prison. She contracted a debilitating "...disease after being forced to share sleeping space with a colony of rats in Guantanamo Bay". She states, as I have often exclaimed,
'But when I think that it was my own government who's left me in this position, that's brought such misery... I can't give up. Or shut up. Or just go away.'
The disease that she contracted at the prison "... has left the 45-year-old Foley unable to walk on her own, and she suffers in pain from two spinal fusions, six other major surgeries and the effective loss of her right leg.
She was forced to live for 10 months in a squalid bungalow that hosted a colony of large rats and contracted a hideous bacterial disease called leptospirosis. Her doctors traced the infection that bored into her central nervous system back to the rats."
The Theresa Foley report on conditions at Guantanamo Bay is at once an indictment of the fiends who run the prison and a call for an investigation of the fbi agents who cover up atrocities committed there. As Foley observes, her
fbi colleagues seem more
"interested in soaking up the Cuban sun and rum than talking to terror suspects."
As the evidence suggests the fbi & the cia actually watch abuses in drunken stupor (and reflect upon same in moments of sobriety) as Guantanamo Bay officials knowingly force inmates (and now Foley) to suffer the life threatening conditions in the lock up. This same fbi criminal participation in the unlawful torture and murder of selected Targets (by infectious disease, bio-chem or psychoelectronic attacks) will continue around the world because the United States * *Congress (and the people who put them in office) allow it.

fbi War On Whistleblowers:
No wonder the fbi is after your worthless ass, sosbee, you are nothing but a fucking liar. Maybe this foly idiot should have cleaned her quarters and killed the fucking rats. Shit, what a bunch of stinking crap.
The reader is invited to note that Mr.Upton (a false name used to obscure true identity) stalks me on the internet and continually makes the same old 'ad hominem' attacks in a most foul and disgusting manner. This man is a filthy shill and is possibly paid by the very assassins whom I describe on many in my reports.
Get a life Upton and someday your true identity will be known to all the world. You then can take credit for your defense of the serial killers and torturers of the fbi/cia whom I describe.
See evidence of the stalker and shill, Upton:
Want some cheese with that whine, sosbee? LOL
I realize that truth and facts to a pathological liar like sosbee is like holy water to a vampire. But lets look at some truth and facts, shall we. First of all sosbee from texas came to me posting his idiotic bullshit on the Philadelphia indymedia site that I read and sometimes comment to. The only place that I have commented on sosbee's garbage is here on philly indymedia. That can only be classified stalking in the mind of an idiot. Second of all I could have posted as anonymous since that is what the Your name field defaults to. What would you have said to that, moron, that someone named anonymous is posting anonymously? LOL You won't find anything on me sosbee cause unlike idiots like you, I don't post my personal info on the net. Any person who posts his DD214 to the internet has got to be an absolute fool, sound like someone you know? Lastly, the thought of me being exposed to the world as the "GASP" man who posted a comment calling sosbee out as a liar has got to have the world just champing at the bit and me shaking in my boots. LOL you absurd old turd.
The anonymous thug who posted the above ad hominem assault also sometimes identifies himself as one Upton. He is an fbi operative and a dirty shill and low life perp. See his works and my interpretation thereof at:
The assaults of Shill are shown below and my responses are in parentheses:
"First of all sosbee from texas came to me posting his idiotic bullshit on the Philadelphia indymedia site that I read and sometimes comment to." (Shill came to my post here and at other Philly posts).
"The only place that I have commented on sosbee's garbage is here on philly indymedia." (Repeated ad hominem and gutteral verbal & harassing assaults are not legitimate comments on a public forum).
"That can only be classified stalking in the mind of an idiot."
(Let the reader decide who is the idiot here, as the readers in the past have done with Shill's associate:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/thefbistonyiomm.html )
"Second of all I could have posted as anonymous since that is what the Your name field defaults to." (Shill admits here to using false name (upton) by preference)
"What would you have said to that, moron, that someone named anonymous is posting anonymously?" (Shill's evil & underhanded predisposition protrudes at his every attempt at verbal smear)
"LOL You won't find anything on me sosbee cause unlike idiots like you, I don't post my personal info on the net." (Shill admits to hiding his personal biographical data from public view while he engages in a vile public assault campaign on his intended victim)
"Any person who posts his DD214 to the internet has got to be an absolute fool, sound like someone you know?" (The reader may want to see both my DD214 and yours, Shill; here is mine, and if you served in combat in defense of your country, I challenge you to present yours here:
http://www.sosbeevfbi.com/geralsosbeearmyf.html )
"comment calling sosbee out as a liar" ( By Shill's own words he at once admits to his mundane and fraudulent objective, while he also reveals in his last gasping utterance his own unethical nature).
LOL you absurd old turd.
(Shill is a degenerate misanthrope not unlike the torturers and assassins of the fbi/cia and their operatives & minions whom I present in my work;
See Shill's other remarks at:
http://www.phillyimc.org/en/bans-and-threats-posting-my-reports )
geral sosbee (956)536-0439
Shill is possibly an fbi operative who is involved in the 24/7 surveillance and harassment program, as he sends a message with special hidden meaning to Sosbee as follows:
"Want some cheese with that whine, sosbee?"
The thugs and criminals who watch my activities in my home (and who also invade my residence and vandalize my property therein) know that I recently enjoyed cheese and wine in my residence; thus, Shill reveals his inside knowledge of my food and drink, even as he pretends to engage in criticism of my work. For more on non-consensual cover surveillance and researcg see:
For more info on the demonic nature of fbi shills see the statements from my friend Barbara Hartwell who writes:
"Some of us targeted by these satanic minions and demonic liars are former intelligence/law enforcement whistleblowers and/or professionals from other disciplines, but all of us are legitimate journalists who have exposed accurate, factual information. We don't publish our work using pseudonyms or screen names, because we stand behind the validity of our work with integrity and honor, and we have no reason to want to hide our identities.
The opposition, on the other hand, is comprised largely of amateurs who are being exploited by the professional FBI/CIA COINTELPRO operatives to do the dirty work of libeling, slandering, harassing, threatening and stalking the Targets.
These shills and provocateurs use multiple aliases, and in their cowardice, hide behind various idiotic screen names."
It is hard for an paranoid delusional to accept that I am just a person, not fbi, certainly not a "shill" for the fbi, and that I certainly am not interested enough in a moron like sosbee to spy on him. What on earth gave you the notion that anyone gives a shit what you do, moron. You sure have an unjustly inflated vision of yourself.
Here you are whining that I am stalking you by my commenting on an article you posted on a public forum. Don't like it, then don't post here.
I don't need to post my DD214 to the net, geral, I already told you what I think of morons who do. I don't need attention like you, and have nothing to prove to anyone, certainly not a fucking nutty ass jerkoff like you.
So you think "want some cheese with that whine" is code, do ya. LOL well figure it out, you are the FBI person here, surely you have your decoder ring, don't ya.
What it looks like is that you geral an FBI agent is trying to entice/entrap folks on the internet who have an axe to grind with the FBI into posting their personal information and incriminating crap on themselves, hence your invitation for me to post my DD214 after I had made it clear that I think it is a stupid thing to do. You are the FBI, you are trying to entrap people, you are a jackbooted thug.
Reader beware of geral, he is FBI. Still trying to fuck people over.
Don't want me to post to your garbage, don't post it here. If you do post here, don't whine when I post to it.
I certainly won't be inviting you as a guest at wine sipping and cheese meeting. I suspect that any conversation with the fraud J Robert Upton might offer the wrong kind of dialogue.Now, give us your DD214, or admit that you have never served the US government , except in the capacity of a shill,stooge,minion for the assassins of the corrupt government.
"And so long as they were at war, their power was preserved, but when they had attained empire they fell, for of the arts of peace they knew nothing, and had never engaged in any employment higher than war." Aristotle, Politics
If exposing you as the liar that you are makes me a so called "shill", so be it. I couldn't care less what you think about me. Don't bother inviting me to anything, I wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire and certainly wouldn't associate with you under any circumstance. Don't have time for fools.
Since you didn't deny being a FBI agent or deny the fact that you are trying to entrap folks, I must accept as fact that you are FBI and that you are trying to entrap and prosecute posters to indymedia. Piss off, you fucking pig.
Control yourself. The world now sees through your facade; your half witted efforts to change colors doesn't. You are a pathetic little *guy whom most of us pity as **LD. Stop posting here unless you wash out your filthy mouth and mind.
geral sosbee
LOL, your comment don't make a lick of sense, you illiterate fuck. Again, piss off you fucking FBI pig. By the way, a sawed off little runt like you shouldn't be calling anyone a "little guy". Who is the "most of us" you refer to, sosbee? There is no "us". There is just your slimy little punk ass trying to entrap folks.
For more from the filthy mind of fbi shill and imposter upton, see:
In order to understand the very sick minds of the fbi/cia/police assassins and serial killers, one need look no further than the hateful and vulgar comments of the little guy who pretends to be Mr. Upton; for I consider him to be a perpetrator. Read his posts carefully (and consider my comments) to discover that he may be involved deeply in the assaults on my person as set forth in my website at http://www.sosbeevfbi.com.See his other hate messages at:
I pose the following rhetorical question on behalf of the Worldwide Network Of Friends Of The Accused And Terrorized:
What duty do we (you and I, now) owe to all of mankind, to humanity, as we discover that a corrupt and murderous band of thugs and their misguided supporters ( whether private or government sponsored, such as those in the fbi/cia ) systematically, routinely and often ritually threaten, torture, imprison and kill our brothers and sisters around the globe?
Stand up to the tyrants and suffer the consequences ourselves in our time, or slink from all sense of Right and leave the ever worsening task for the next generation which may be even less prepared than we for the slightest of heroic deeds.
History now records for all times our names, each of us, individually, in a real as opposed to a rhetorical sense and the manner by which we answer the above question.
After I posted the above report the assassins of the fbi (& little shill's associates) increased the already painful 24/7 directed energy assaults (continuing now for about 8 years) resulting in severe sleep deprivation . The United States of America is indeed suffering from a coup, even as the candidates hustle for their bid to preside over the most corrupt, evil and murderous nation ever on earth.
Hey sosbee, a tin foil hat is what you need to deflect the directed energy assaults. LOL, you fucking moron.
If anyone was in doubt that you are a paranoid delusional nutcase the last two comments by you remove all doubt. See above: fbi assassins as perpetrators & shills and sleep deprivation as punishment for the above report. Nothing but total loony bullshit.
Get over yourself, dipshit, nobody cares enough about you to waste 10 seconds on ya, let alone 8 years. LOL, you need to see a doctor before you lose what few marbles you have left.

ISIS Press Release
Here is a summary of the program used against me :
"I estimate that the cost of imprisoning a human being in his/her own body and applying unremitting torture is US$5 000 000 to $10 000 000 a year (see below).
By "unremitting torture" I mean exactly that. Because there is no visible evidence left by this new torture equipment such as damage to the skin, it is possible to torture the involuntary human subjects for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This can be done and is being done even on Christmas and Easter [8].
See any sosbee post for stupid, illiterate, psychotic, whining, victim class bullshit and neomoronic lies. He can not backup any of the stupid shit he posts with any outside proof. And no geral posting shit from percival and foley doesn't provide proof of shit and neither does posting links back to your asinine blog. percival and foley are both fucking idiots and delusional morons just like you. More cheese with your whine, dipshit? LOL
Little guy- We are all waiting for your DD214. Since you probably never served your country execpt as an assassin the world must accept your character as it appears here, most cowardly. To quote my friend, Barbara Hartwell, one of your fundamental flaws may be summarized as follows:
"Cowards lie first and foremost because they are filled not with the spirit of Truth, nor have a love of the Truth; but rather live in thrall to fear. Fear that the truth about themselves; about their own crimes; their exploitation, abuses, duplicity, deception, etc. --even their own ignorance and stupidity-- will come out into the open and thus stop their political/personal agendas (whatever they may be, but which are, at the very least, narcissistic and unjust) from reaching fruition."
On September 26, 2011 I filed a police report number 0911-1642, concerning the criminal harassment efforts against me by one who identifies himself alternately as 'anonymous' and ' j. robert upton'. The police report was accepted by the Cameron County Sherff''s Office, Deputy Victor Alvarado, at Harlingen, Texas, (956)427-8060, fax: (956)412-1404, and the facts therein constitute a possible class B misdemeanor under the laws of the state of Texas. Here are some of the links where the disgusting & vile comments by the above named cyberstalker/thug are available for all to study. Thank you Indymedia Philadelphia for any cooperation that you may afford to the Sheriff in connection with the criminal investigation.
Hey geral why do you do it this web site is public and anybody can write what they want. you are not owner of this site so now go go go and dont look back
After Sosbee receives the *hate mail shown below, the fbi increases the assaults as described here:
During the days and nights of April 5-7, 2012, the directed energy assaults escalate to extreme levels (on a scale of 1-10, about a 9) after fbi efforts to shut down this and other sites fail; the symptoms of the assaults take on a more sinister tone than those symptoms described earlier at:
Present symptoms now include: extreme fatigue, weakness in legs, difficulty walking, short term memory loss, jump in high blood pressure, brief incapacitating headaches, nausea, dizziness. The reader should also note that the fbi continues to 1) watch this target 24/7 in real time as he struggles to stay alive and 2) send notices to Sosbee (via telephone messages and via remote electronic manipulation of car doors and tv devices). Evil is USA.

But the burden of non-communicable illness falls heavily on the poor.
gerbil sosbee is nothing but a liar. The fucker misspells a word, blames it on the FBI; gets a toothache blames it on the FBI, pisses people off all over the world and gets banned from sites and blames it on the FBI, etc., etc., etc.
Your stupid bullshit is getting tiring, you fucking loser. You have to be fucking insane to believe one word the idiot posts. Piss off sosbee, grow a pair and become a man and accept responsibility for your pathetic life. You caused every fucking problem you have.
lOOK CLOSELY TO SEE J ROBERT UPTON IN THE lIVING DEAD PICTRE HERE:
fbi operative/assassin Upton responds:


text:
Mets principal owner Fred Wilpon gave an interview to reporters, among them ESPN New York's Adam Rubin, who helpfully transcribed Wilpon's answers. When asked about how the team's sale of minority shares was going, Wilpon said:
And we're proceeding with bringing in partners. We have seven partners … in terms of groups. We have seven whose money is in escrow because they've been through major league baseball. We have two that are ready to almost finalize in Major League Baseball, and a couple of others that are in the process. It's a real process. If you have three, four people in your group, everybody is vetted. They're all in there. And we hope to be able to close that out shortly."
Good thing they have a "real process". Because you surely wouldn't want a phony one. Regarding his team in 2012:
Well, you know, you always want to feel good and optimistic. I think what Terry [Collins] and Sandy [Alderson] have said is that we're going to surprise a lot of people. I think we have very good players.
What would you expect an owner to say? That his team is awful and is likely going to finish last? That's for us writers to say, not a team owner. It was almost silly to even ask. He was asked about keeping David Wright, and didn't answer that, but he loves Wright:
I think there's no finer guy. He's just a very fine young man. Any of us who are old enough to have him as a son would be proud to have him as a son.
But perhaps the most telling note about the team's finances was tweeted by a different reporter, Andy McCullough:
Asked how his financials were, Fred Wilpon pulled out a wad of cash with a $5 bill on top. "OK," he said. "I've got fives."
— Andy McCullough (@McCulloughSL) February 27, 2012
Fives. Well, that's good. Maybe he's on his way to buy some MegaMillons tickets with those fives. He could use that money.

Nice Panniers for Casual Use
By CDawg
from Phoenixville, PA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
Comments about Nashbar Daytrekker Panniers:
I bought these about 2 years ago for use the hybrid bike that I use for recreation and occasional errands. I've been very pleased with how they have held up. They attach to the bike easily and quickly. The two top straps come in handy for holding extra gear. Given their smaller size, I have no issues with heal strike. Despite being smaller than your typical panniers, they hold a suprising amount of stuff. If anything happens to this set, I'll definitely buy another. At this price, you really can't go wrong.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Fell slightly below expectations
By road2cycle
from Sonoma County, CA
About Me Commuter
First off I'll start by saying that I did not expect much based on what I paid for this pannier. I bought it because it's one of the few smaller ones available. I used it two months last commuting season and one month this commuting season (yes, I'm a fair weather commuter).Pros:* I can fit my work clothes and lunch in it with room to spare. If I need to bring a towel it easily straps to the rack.* It's not bulky and it's less of a wind sail than some of the larger ones out there.Cons:* Forget about taking it off the bike. It's not like some of the other systems which also act as a suitcase. You'll need to pack a bag inside of these to carry your stuff once you reach your destination. * Within the first month of using it one of the metal hooks which connects to the bike rack snapped.* Yesterday the second hook failed.* The hooks are cheap.I feel like I got a pannier worth what I paid forso hence 3 stars. If I had paid full price I would rate this 1 star.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Good for short trips

Needed something with more space than my old trunk bag. These fit the bill nicely.

not durable, doesn't attach to my rack.
By jessica
from Seattle, WA
does not attach to the type of rack I have, but it was not possible to tell that from the description on the website. The two hooks at the bottom of the bags had nowhere to attach and one of them broke within the first 10 minutes of riding. The velcro holding the bag onto the rack is not strong enough-- the bag starting jostling loose as I rode and eventually slipped off to one side.
Well worth my $20!
By Psyclist
from Reno NV
About Me Avid Cyclist
The size of this bag is PERFECT for me. I love no longer having the need for a backpack that I have to strap down. It's light and very easy to use, with no frills. The cons... The buckles were in a weird place, so I cut them off and switched them around, so that the buckle is on the front of the bag instead of on the bottom. I also removed the "flap" which I assume was for some splash protection. However, on my rack, it blocked me from using the additional velco straps for additional stability. Lastly, I moved the front velcro straps closer together, for a better fit for my rack.
Great quality and exactly the right size
By rich
from Boise, ID
This was purchased to put on my fat tire bike for a quick place to store layers as they came off or a quick place to access to layer back up.Just the right size.

from Bay City, MI
Bought these to take a 7 day, 700 mile bike ride. Worked well to hold spare biking shorts, shirt, socks, 2 light weight shirts, underwear, jacket, nylon wind pants. Plan on using for another 7 day ride this summer.

I liked it so well I bought a second one
By Darrell
from Winter Haven, FL
You were advertising free shipping, but we did not receive that....how come???
you can add a trunk bag
By e0richt
from Atlantic City, New Jersey
for panniers these are a bit on the small side but I also didn't want to deal with heel strike and they are big enough to carry stuff for commuting if you add a trunk bag... now there are a bunch of reviews that say you can't use a trunk bag with this pannier but thats not true. you need to build a 9 inch by 3 inch frame (I used 1/2 pvc pipe with 4 90* elbows) that you can slip in the top straps then strap on the trunk bag. it works great!
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.
