Poor Service After Sale
By Anonymous
from Lancaster, PA, USA
Comments about LG Stainless Steel Built-In Double Electric Oven:
Great features and excellent looks. When we remodeled our kitchen three years ago we outfitted all appliances with LG units and all top of the line models. We also purchased new front loader washer and dryer units. In all cases for LG post warranty it is very difficult to obtain service. Local company does provide good service. This oven developed some of the common problems when using the self cleaning feature that renders the oven unusable. Very expensive to have repaired and happens frequently after using self cleaning feature. We need to replace this unit and will not be buying LG.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Would not recommend this product
By Jan
from Barstow,MD
Have had this double oven for 4 years & have had to have the upper oven repaired 4 times for the same reason. It won't heat up. If I set temp up past 350 degrees for several usages then it affects it & it stops working. Luckily it only affects the upper oven. What I paid for this I should not continue to have this problem
Great Oven
By Hiolz Arbeiter
from North Carolina
This is an excellent oven set, easy to use and easy to clean. Checked the oven temperature and it was dead on from the factory. Love the touch screen makes setting complex functions easy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Don't use the Self Clean
By joe
from Undisclosed
This oven by and large works well. Unfortunately ours is now broken for the third time, each time following a self clean cycle, and displays an F9 error. LG doesn't acknowledge a problem with the design. Internet search shows this is not an unusual failure either. LG Customer Support advice was to only use "LOW" setting for cleaning which we've done since the first failure. Last time a tech repaired it (10 months ago) he suggested drilling 2" holes in the cupboard above the oven to allow for more ventilation. I promise I'll never buy another LG appliance. Ever.
good product but controls are not intuitive
Good product; looks great, good features.....but the menu system is not user friendly. There is no "off" button, instead there is a "clear/stop" button but when you press it, there's no visual feedback that the oven has stopped and the sounds made by the oven (fan) don't change at all so you don't feel like you turned it off.

Oven was easy to install. The meat probe works great and the Prime Rib came out
The Best Oven
By Jojo
from Sacramento, CA
I bought the LG Double Wall Oven 2 months ago. I absolutly love the oven, it is very easy to use. The rolling rack make it very easy to get thing out of the oven without burning your hand or arms. This is my third LG appliance and I wouldn't select any other brand. The only thing I would change is having the clock light up, even when not in use.

Agenus' CEO Discusses Q2 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
This concludes the financial portion of the call. Garo will now provide a corporate update.
Garo Armen
Thank you, Jonae and Christine. I will now discuss our progress during the first half of 2012. This is an exciting year for Agenus on a number of fronts. We have seen steady progress in the advancement of our QS-21 adjuvant for both infectious disease and cancer indications through our corporate partner GSK.
In addition to our expanded QS-21 agreement with GSK which was announced during the first quarter of this year, we recently, we've seen a new Phase III clinical program which was initiated for the prevention of shingles in immunocompromised patients. This is a randomized placebo controlled Phase III clinical trial in approximately 1,400 patients.
GSK has four QS-21 containing Phase III programs underway which will have their read-out in the near future. They include two MAGE-A3 cancer vaccines, one for non-small cell lung cancer and the other one for melanoma patients. The other two are the RTS,S vaccine for malaria and HZ/su vaccine for shingles. In addition to QS-21, we have also made steady progress in advancing our heat shock protein platform during the first half of 2012.During the second quarter, the National Cancer Institute approved a study of the Prophage Series G-200 vaccine in a large randomized Phase II trial in combination with Avastin in patients with surgically resectable recurrent glioblastoma. This study will be sponsored by the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology, an NCI cooperative group. Read the rest of this transcript for free on seekingalpha.com

Einstein Noah Restaurant Group Inc.
's (
) fourth-quarter fiscal 2012 adjusted earnings of 34 cents per
share were in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate but fell
8.1% from the year-ago level of 37 cents. A sluggish top line
affected the bottom line.
Total revenues fell 3.9% year over year to $110.6 million,
missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $111.0 million by a
slight margin. Decline in revenues can be attributed to the 3.4%
drop in company-owned restaurant sales to $99.5 million and 12.9%
plunge in manufacturing and commissary revenues to $7.8 million.
However, excluding the extra week in fiscal 2011, total revenues
increased 2.6% for the fourth quarter. This uptick reflects a
system-wide comparable restaurant sales increase of 1.4%.
Excluding the extra week in 2011, segment-wise, company-owned
restaurant sales inched up 3.4%.
Company stores' restaurant gross margin contracted 100 bps year
over year to 20.5%, primarily due to increased costs related to
rent, other operating costs and marketing.
Fiscal -Year Update
Adjusted earnings per share increased 21.8% to 95 cents in
2012 beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 6.7% driven by top
line growth. Total revenues grew 0.8% to $427.0 million but fell
short of the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.2%.
Store Update
The company exited 2012 with 816 restaurants, out of which 461
were company owned, 97 were franchised and 258 were licensed.
For fiscal 2013, the company plans to open 60-80 restaurants.
Capital expenditures are estimated in a range of $20-$22 million.
Commodity inflation for the full year is expected to remain in
the 2%-3% range.
Our Take
Lakewood, Colo.-based Einstein Group's performance has been
faltering in the last few quarters. After missing the earnings
estimate in the second quarter, the company just about matched it
in the remaining two quarters of 2012. The revenue performance
also remained choppy, falling short of the Zacks Consensus
Estimate for the last five quarters.
Based on recent performances, we remain cautious on the stock at
the current level. Moreover, stiff competition and weak consumer
confidence amid a sluggish economy also support our view on the
Einstein Noah Restaurant Group currently carries a Zacks Rank #5
(Strong Sell). Other restaurant industry stocks with a favorable
Zacks Rank include
AFC Enterprises Inc.
Burger King Worldwide Inc.
) and
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Inc.
), all carrying a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Forza Raspberry Ketone - Natural Fat Burners - 90 Capsules
Posted: 15/10/2013
i found these tablets helped supress my hunger, and i did lose 3lbs from taking them in 2-3 weeks without really changing a lot (if i exercised i would have lost more) but after the 2nd week i started to get excruciating headaches (i drink a lot of water too, about 2-3 litres a day and i cut out coffee) and codeine wouldn't shift the headaches. I thought it was stress but as soon as i stopped taking these, the headaches were gone. I also felt down which is not like me at all, i was crying for no reason!
these tablets are just not for me.

ENERGY SHOCK: A time bomb is ticking
Iran's nuclear ambitions and Europe's economic turmoil could place the world's energy market in a state of chaos.
July 17, 2012 11:30 by kippreport
"Greece – the country most likely to leave the euro block – accounts for just 0.5 percent of global oil demand, so the direct effects of a deeper recession there would not be large," says NBK's Kaye. "Europe as a whole, however, accounts for a much larger 16 percent. Moreover, there are signs of economic weakness spreading to Asia, which accounts for up to one-third of global oil demand and more than 80 percent of its recent growth."
The ensuing ticking time bomb in the world energy market has also has resulted in a flight to safety like the American dollar. The dollar climbed by four percent on a trade-weighted basis in May, and by seven percent against the Euro, according to Kaye. "This has pressured the prices of dollar-denominated commodities, including gold and base metals. Nevertheless, exchange rate movements by themselves seem to explain no more than one-quarter of the recent decline in oil prices," he says.
True, the world remains a worried and unsettled place. Will oil prices rise or fall and how will the actions of rogue governments and their sworn Western enemies affect energy options for the average worker? With all of this uncertainty, there could be some factors which can weigh on the side of those hoping for a more stable future. Says NBK's Kaye: "One reason is that temporary factors – including unseasonably warm weather in the OECD – may have exacerbated recent weakness in demand. Another is the potential for a meaningful cutback in OPEC production. Indeed, one interpretation of recent OPEC production strengths is that the organization is looking to build stock levels to guard against the possible loss of Iranian crude once sanctions begin to bite in July."
The world's energy and financial markets will be watching.

Many miss this point-- there are different strata among Hispanics...95% of Mexico's population are either Indians (50%) or Mestizos (45%), who are mixed Indian with some Euro ancestry.

i wouldn't see it as a problem, most cat5e installs are using utp (unshielded twisted pair)
Just had 48 new cat-5e network cables installed in the new library refurb. The people doing the cabling have used cat-5e FTP (foil twisted pair or shielded cabling) but have not terminated the shielding at either end using a non shielded patch panel and non shielded modules by the desks. Has anyone had any experience with interference issues when having a similar setup? If all this cabling needs to be redone, then I'm going to have to raise this with the site manager pretty soon.
Any suggestions welcome!
i wouldn't see it as a problem, most cat5e installs are using utp (unshielded twisted pair)
What did the original spec say?
If they were supposed to install FTP then they'll need to do it again and properly...
If the FTP hasn't been grounded, then it won't be doing anything useful. However, as far as I'm aware, it won't be doing anything negative either.
If FTP was specified, I would be asking for the correct patch panels to be provided and installed.
I never got to see the original spec, as this was all completed by the site manager. I'm not bothered if it's shielded or unshielded so long as it works. I have read previously that if shielded cable is not terminated correctly, it can create something like a faraday cage through the cable. With no earth at either end, I assume this can cause interference.
I've literally been up to look at the work today, and seen on the back of the patch panels that the earth inside the cat-5 is just loose and not connected to anything. It could be a case of they just used shielded cable and never had any intention of using shielded wall floor ports of patch panels. I don't want to tell the site manager anything unless it's going to be a problem. If it's not going to cause any issues, then I'll just leave it as it is.
There's no reason to spec FTP if you're not going to earth it at one end. Ask to see the spec sheet.
They've either overcharged you (FTP costs circa ~£30 more than UTP) for no reason or they've failed to do the job correctly.
Stop letting your site manager make decisions on cable infrastructure without oversight from IT.
Thanks for the input anyway. I'll feed this back to our site manager.
Whoever made the original decision to exclude IT from the process of having structured cabling installed needs to be shown the error of there ways, do you have any lift shafts or basement spaces?
Hi Sven
FTP should be terminated to create a Faraday cage, that's the idea, to leak unwanted noise to earth. Mind you, if your comms cab isn't earthed (most don't get earthed), then FTP is useless. As others have mentioned, was FTP specified for a reason? I.E. does the cable route through an area that has a high risk of electromagnetic interference (EMI)? Like a boiler room where data cables run close to with KVA cables? If so,then FTP is needed to protect the cable. However, I have lost count of how many schools we have cabled since 2000, and not once have we used FTP (well, unless its Cat6a links). We do use it a lot though in Factories where 440V machines are used, its perfect for that environment.
Also, as mentioned before, FTP is more expensive
That said, I have come across many a network with an un-terminated earth FTP cables, and never seen an issue.
Hope this helps
Actually, we've just had an outbuilding cabled, nothing big just a couple of data ports so the electricians did them as they were pulling other cables as well. I have to crimp ends on the switch/comms room end and plug them in to the correct switch ports, as they have done the faceplates in the dado of the outbuilding.
I went to check they were being done, so I could get my end finished and tested and interestingly enough, the sparky was pulling back the foil sheilding and clipping off what I presume were earth wires, before clipping the remaining wires into the colour coded backplate of the socket...

It sees you, can you see it? Even when the room is lit?
Funny how those shadows twist, as though the room were filled with mist.
But theres no mist, the room is clear! About now, you should start to fear.
clear your mind, take a last breath. For in a second, you'll meet with death.
Pembridge Maccadia, the Mindless Ruler, the Crafter of Graf Malin, sacrificed his very life to destroy a nation. A breathing, living machine with the heart of blades, a testament to his loathing of Man. His hatred for his own people…
A legendary relic, suited to base a campaign around, with the power of Creation crystallized in a single milky seed…
The blackboard of the middle ages
A natural stone with a hole in the center and gift from the earth to the lucky finder.
A stone construct that is ideal as a magical guardian, either of property or of information
In the darkness in the south transept of the Cathedral of Isielles stands the resplendent Clock of Shadows. It tells more than just the time of day…
It looks like an ordinary parchment map, until it speaks to you. It says, "I know where you need to go to find what you are looking for." From there, the adventure begins.
A brightly colored ink that hardens the skin.
The shattered remnants of a divine weapon, a certain amount of power remains in these bits of celestial metal.
Many years ago, a trader from far away died while in The City. One of the entries of his possessions was a "bag of 220 beautiful coyns". These coins were sold to a crafter who sold some of them and made others into hat band decorations, jewelry, bag clips, and so on. It was years later that someone discovered their true worth and their power. They make things move.
The rampaging goblin army that fell the Great Castle Craghold used this evil catapult to do it. That, and a number of their troops as sacrifice…
A strange, mystical box, with many rumours attached, that does not want to reveal its secret…
A small stone that can absorb and store liquids.
Never get lost again with this set of magical stones.
A small, ordinary looking red pouch that deters all but the most skilled thieves.
The Acorn of the Honorable Whiskered Emissary was grown on a magical oak by the famous druid, Kuwusa. It gives one a very interesting bond with rodents…
This is said to be the box in which Urku, creator of the Orcs, captured the sun.
This wizard had unlimited power, until he lost his marbles…
A normal bag lets you hold stuff. A bag of holding lets you hold more stuff. This bag lets you hold someone else's stuff.
A long time ago. Final fantasy III came out with a new approach to learing magic. The characters would be equipped with espers(magical beings) and as they fought more battles, they would learn spells from the espers. What if a similar approach to learning magic was applied to a P&P rpg?

Christina Aguilera Is Having a Baby Girl
Reports are trickling in that the 33-year-old, who is already mother to son Max from her previous relationship with Jordan Bratman, is currently pregnant with a girl.
Last month, the pop star announced she was having a second child just a week after accepting her longtime beau's Valentine's Day proposal.
"He asked and I said..." Aguilera tweeted that fateful day with a photo of her engagement ring.
The couple met on the set of 2010's Burlesque where Rutler was working as a production assistant.

Everyone Is Right/Wrong
I have read all these comments, and like Dr. KAF, am educated in medical sciences, and like most all the rest, have utter contempt and disdain for the systems currently in place.
Dr. KAF is correct in what he says, and so are all of the rest of you correct in what you say. Vaccines do help in herds, ask any rancher. Vaccines also have negative side-effects, as most of the rest of you say.
Dr. KAF has the right approach so long as people populate themselves into a massive herd. The rest of you have the right approach for rural independent living.
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! You can't populate yourselves into a massive herd on this planet and have all the benefits of an independent self-sustainable free society of people.
If you want to populate into a massive herd, then you will get treated like a massive herd (for good or bad), there is no other possible outcome.
Live like cattle, get treated like cattle.
If you don't care about overpopulation, then too bad.
The system will thrive off the dependent masses, and
force you to submit. THAT IS REALITY, NO OTHER WAY.

I needed the cash.
That was how I found myself laying in a plasma "donation" room filled with about 40 couches, each equipped with a blood pressure cuff and a centrifuge. A white-coated attendant (workers aren't required to have medical or nursing degrees) pricked my arm. He separated my plasma from my whole blood into a large bottle, and returned my protein-depleted blood, which flowed back into my arm to rebuild my nutrient supply.
"My house is so noisy with four kids so I come here for my relaxation," said a middle-aged, haggard-looking woman on the next couch, the plasmapheresis machine at her side whirring. A clinician instructed us both to pump and relax our fists, like cows milking our own udders.
Before leaving I received a calendar that mapped out my pay, if I maintained a twice-weekly schedule for subsequent donations. Even a $10 bonus on my next visit!
How did I get here? My rent was due. I had insufficient funds in the bank. I was 48-years-old, a journalist running short on cash from writing assignments and odd jobs. That was when I saw an ad offering $50 per plasma donation: blood money, or more specifically, payment for my time and any small pain involved in the process of having protein-rich plasma extracted from the blood. Regulars call it "plassing."
The ad I'd seen featuring smiling attendants suggested an experience similar to one at a sedate hospital. The facility I entered buzzed like a school lunchroom. There were first-timers waiting to complete the initial medical exam, and regulars hurrying to check in at automatic computer terminals. Easily 50 to 60 "plassers" were present at any given moment, the crowd continually ebbing and flowing. All were like me—hopeful, needy, and impatient to get paid.
I received an oral examination. I was not surprised by the many questions about my sexual behavior, but I was taken aback by repeated questions regarding tattoos. Three times I was asked if I had lied and "really" had tattoos. After the clinicians tested a blood sample for protein levels, I underwent a bare-bones medical checkup. But I questioned its efficiency given that my examiner ran through scores of questions so fast I had to ask him to repeat himself. I spotted a sign: NO PAYMENT UNLESS DONATION IS COMPLETED.
"Plassers" receive payments on a special debit card that extracts a surcharge whenever they use it. Curiously, while my examiner hurried me through the screening, he did patiently lay out the payment scheme. Did he know how desperate I was? His "Don't worry. You'll pass" attitude may have expressed condescension, unprofessionalism, or benevolence.
My extraction went smoothly. I left with a ray of hope that I could "plass" next month's rent money. The literature provided at U.S. centers ubiquitously states that "donating plasma is safe." Its side effects are limited to "mild faintness and bruising." (My brochure also added, "Other possible side effects will be explained by our medical staff," though I can't say any such explanation stayed with me.) But the following day my body received an impromptu schooling in the price tag of the world I had entered.
It happened at about five o'clock the next day. Unexpectedly, with no apparent cause or logical relationship to physical exertion, I felt my legs go rubbery. I was Silly Putty. This was something more than "mild faintness" and particularly disturbing because of the aspect of a random attack. I suddenly felt so weirdly fatigued that I couldn't stand on my feet. I barely reached the couch before I passed out for five hours straight. Luckily, I was safely ensconced at home. But since I substitute teach as well as freelance write I woke up wondering: What would I do if that happened at my day job?
What had happened? I had received my welcoming to the subtle physical changes, possibly exacerbated by work and poverty, which may be the upshot of plassing. And my research began.
* * *
Biotest, CSL Plasma, Yale Plasma. These are some of the funny corporate names that dot my state, New Mexico, and maybe yours. Or OctaPharma. Or Biolife. Plasma reaped from paid U.S. donors makes up about 70 percent of worldwide collections. The United States is conversationally known in the industry as "the OPEC of plasma collections."
But why plasma?
Proteins in the plasma collected at places like Biotest are necessary for the manufacture of a wide range of pharmaceuticals produced by for-profit corporations. The industry burgeoned in the 1950s thanks to a boom in new drugs for hemophiliacs. Plasma centers have historically worn the scarlet letter in the blood-collection universe.
Hospitals, Red Cross units, and nonprofit agencies relying on voluntary donations reject the plasma center model because cash incentives for whole blood may give donors an incentive to lie, heightening risks of a tainted supply. Such risks are higher overall for whole blood, too.
Prior to the AIDS crisis, plasma collection practices were often under the table, but the medical community still operated under a general assumption that those standards for plasma were good enough. The assumption proved disastrously wrong. Industry practices eventually cost the hemophiliac community dearly.

Many shade-loving plants also perform well in containers. No need to think small -- large plants make an eye-catching display.

|Holmes showing up big again for Raiders
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 04 August 2014 16:27
He's playing like it, too.
The 6-foot-4-inch, 210-pound has been quarterback Matt Schaub's most consistent downfield threat since the team began practicing, following up on a surprising 2013 campaign in which Holmes led the club in yards per catch after missing the first five games.
That has elevated the former undrafted free agent atop Oakland's first depth chart released by the team.
While that holds about as much significance as scoring touchdowns in practice, it's a definite sign of the Raiders believe that Holmes can solve the question of who will be the team's number one receiver in 2014.
He certainly looked the part so far, an encouraging sign for an offense that tied for 24th in passing last season.
