|My Whirlpool LTE5243DQ3 top loading direct drive washer agitates fine, but will drain but not spin once it enters the spin/drain function. If you open and close the lid it will then spin fine. Even if you don't open and close the lid, once it enters the next phase, (spin/spray) it will spin just fine. While it is draining but not spinning there is a clicking/throbbing noise that appears to be coming from the gearcase though I cannot be sure. Also, the gearcase seems to have a vibration higher vibration than normal at this time.
The lid switch clicks fine and the plastic piece that actuates it is sound. The fact that it can run the spin/spray function makes me think there is no trouble there.
Since it is draining but not spinning that makes me think the motor is fine.
The noise and vibration from the gearcase makes me suspect the clutch, but since it has no problem with spin/spray and restarting once you open the lid I think that might be a red herring.
I would suspect the timer except that once the lid opens/closes it works fine, but this still seems to be the most likely problem.
Is it possible there is something about the transition from agitate to spin that is locking something up?
Oh, and I changed the drive coupler (that had totally worn out) several months ago if that is at all relevant. The problem definitely happened after the change, but I do not think it was immediately after. I could be wrong though as I am not the one doing laundry.

|Thanks, I forgot to mention that the metal disk below the clutch is not spinning when it is having its problem. Therefore, based on the link you posted (which I had looked over before posting my problem), it would appear to be the gearbox. I was wondering if that is likely to actually be the problem though as it seems that if it was the gearbox, then opening and closing the lid wouldn't fix the problem and it wouldn't spin fine in the spin/spray cycle.
I would prefer to have a good handle on where I expect to find the problem before pulling parts out, but if there is no way of knowing until I pull the gearbox then I guess that is what I have to do.

|Okay, I have to revise what I said. This may be a timer problem. The timer is supposed to have a pause in it prior to starting the spin cycle. That pause allows the transmission to shift into neutral for the neutral drain. If the timer is not pausing the transmission won't shift and then it won't spin.
You can verify this by listening for the pause when it goes into spin. If the pause is there, then you're probably looking at a transmission problem instead.

|Thank you very much. Nothing I had seen had matched the symptoms I observed until your post above. Unfortunately I took a look and there is actually a significant pause between the agitate and spin cycles where the motor is off. Interestingly, however, the shiny metal disk that (I think) is part of the clutch assembly does not move during this time. When I lift up on the lid, though, the disk has an instantaneous twist that I guess may be from the transmission going into neutral.
I am not quite sure what this means. Is the transmission maybe not being untorqued enough during the pause to change gears? I am not really sure where to continue investigating the problem.
Thanks to your help I am at least feeling like I am getting closer to the root of the problem though.

|The duration of the pause is important!
If it pauses for 3 or 4 minutes then begins to drain, you have missed the 3-5 second motor pause. The pause is at about 2 minutes, as all water should be drained within 2 minutes, then timer causes the motor to pause for 3-5 seconds and then restarts, to shift out of neutral drain.

|Hmm, I may not entirely understand then. Currently it finishes the agitation phase, pauses 5 seconds with the motor off, then enters the "Drain HI" phase. This lasts for four minutes. I believe that it is supposed to spin during this whole time, but it does not spin at all and makes the odd noise. It appears that you are saying that it should drain, pause, and then begin to spin after it is done draining. Thus, what my girlfriend says is an odd noise may just be the gearbox in neutral while it is draining and it is just lasting much longer than she is used to as it never gets the pause to switch over to spinning.
If I do the lid open/close during this phase (either before or after it has finished draining) it will spin for the rest of the phase, which makes me think that it should be spinning the whole time, though I certainly don't know for sure.
After this phase is done, it pauses for 5 seconds and then enters the "Spray/Spin LO" phase. In this phase it spins normally whether or not I opened/closed the lid in the previous phase.
So, if I understand you correctly and there is a missing pause after it drains, does this mean I need to replace the timer or is it something that may be fixable?

1) no
2) yes
unless it is unusually cold in your laundry room ?

|Thanks guys. After I wrote my last post I searched this site for "Whirlpool spin timer" and happened upon the thread where you both solved exactly the problem I am having. (Didn't think to include timer in my earlier searches.) Based on the person's description of their issue and how it turned out, replacing the timer is exactly what I need to do. I missed that there was supposed to be a pause DURING the drain and spin phase not just before and after.
The link you posted to the study course was very helpful in understanding this thing. Apparently there are some older versions that work the way I thought they did, but checking my gearcase it did have "Neutral" stamped on it indicating this is the updated version.
Oh, and it is not cold in my laundry closet.
Thanks again, now it is time to order a timer.

See below for random consultant bashing.
This is very easy to make fun of those consultants but nobody can be right all the time.
At the end it is simple. Do not go into business you do not understand. The truth is that also thanks to MCkinsey GE was able to be far better than any other company, especially Siemens.
Well Siemens had small and not well managed financial arms. Did it save the company? Now. It is still smaller than GE.
I am reminded of this very old story.
A shepherd was tending his flock in a remote pasture when suddenly a dust cloud approached at high speed, out of which emerged a shiny silver BMW. The driver, a young man in an Armani suit, Ferragamo shoes, the latest Polarized sunglasses and a tightly knotted power tie, poked his head out the window and asked the shepherd, "Hey! If I can tell you how many sheep you have in your flock, will you give me one?"
The shepherd looked at the man, then glanced at his peacefully grazing flock and answered, "Sure."
The driver parked his car, plugged his microscopic cell phone into a laptop and briskly surfed to a GPS satellite navigation system on the Internet and initiated a remote body-heat scan of the area. While the computer was occupied, he sent some e-mail via his Blackberry and, after a few minutes, nodded solemnly at the responses. Finally, he printed a 150 page report on the little laser printer in his glove compartment, turned to the shepherd, waving the sheaves of paper, and pronounced "You have exactly 1,586 sheep."
"Impressive. One of my sheep is yours." said the shepherd.
He watched the young man select an animal and bundle it into his car. Then the shepherd said: "If I can tell you exactly what your business is, will you give me back my sheep?"
Pleased to meet a fellow sportsman, the young man replied "You're on."
"You are a consultant." said the shepherd without hesitation.
"That's correct," said the young man, impressed. "How ever did you guess?"
"It wasn't a guess," replied the shepherd. "You drive into my field uninvited. You ask me to pay you for information I already know, answer questions I haven't asked, and you know nothing about my business. Now give me my back my dog."
As a banker in the 1980s I joked that I would cancel the financing for any client that engaged McKinsey. Later that decade, I was to lead a study for which McKinsey had been engaged (it was a "perk" for our group due to our excellent performance the previous year). Their first question was what recommendation I wanted as a result of their study. I had apparently been correct about them all along.
John Kenneth Galbraith said that the way to success was to wear a good suit and repeat the conventional wisdom.
A guy I went to high school with was one of Jack Welsh's boys, and was one of the few who might have succeeded him. He was quite clear that GE was more involved and interested in the buying and selling of companies than in actually doing anything with them.
My guess is that, as with many ratings services and similar "analysts", there's lots of analyses that were at best, overly optimistic, and at worst, willfully ignorant of reality. It's the reason for the crash - we all whistled past the graveyard on credit we didn't have to sustain homes we couldn't afford on money we never earned.
I wondered who was wrong about that.

The Iowa Soybean Review® provides readers exclusive access to soybean industry information.
Look through the lens at the life of Iowa's farmers in the Bean Blog.
They serve you.
Get to know your ISA board!
Not a member yet? Joining ISA will deliver results and expand your opportunities. "Your ISA. Your Way."
ISA programs help farmers provide food, feed and fuel for the world while protecting and conserving natural resources.
In 1964, the Iowa Soybean Association was founded. That same year, Iowa soybean farmers grew an average of 30 bushels per acre. The 121-million-bushel crop was worth $311.5 million.
Fast-forward 50 years and the industry continues to flourish in ways only imagined by our early pioneers.
This year, Iowa farmers are expected to harvest more than 500 million bushels of soybeans, or an average of 51 bushels per acre. We may also exceed the value of last year's crop, estimated at nearly $5.3 billion.
Research programs funded by the soybean checkoff and overseen by ISA farmer leaders and staff have helped make these results happen by increasing and protecting yields. Simultaneously, the association continues to increase domestic and global demand for soybeans. Soybeans are now an economic juggernaut and the nation's No.1 ag export.
Now that's progress past and present soybean leaders can be proud of.

Posted: May 7, 2012
Rafael Nodal, owner of Aging Room cigars, is adding a pair of new varieties to the boutique brand, which was named one of Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars of 2011.
"We're releasing two more Aging Rooms," said Nodal. The Aging Room Quattro is a box-pressed cigar with an Indonesian wrapper. The cigars are already being rolled at Tabacalera La Palma in Tamboril, Dominican Republic, and will be on display this summer at the International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers trade show.
Nodal says the Indonesian wrapper was found in Europe, at a machine-made cigar factory that went out of business.
The tobacco has some age on it—he says it's from 2003—and there's enough for a limited run of smokes, perhaps 300,000 to 400,000 cigars.
The name of the cigar might change to Aging Room Sumatra Quattro. It will come in five sizes, all of them box-pressed. "We're really looking forward to that," said Nodal. "We started the production about a month ago and just got the first batch here."
The price will be perhaps 50 cents a cigar more than Aging Room, or around $8 per cigar.
The second new Aging Room, which is expected in stores in May, will be called Aging Room Haváo, a cigar made with Dominican tobaccos wrapped in a Connecticut-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. A mild to medium smoke, Haváo will come 20 to a box and retail starting at $6. It will be offered in six sizes: Canon (6 inches by 46 ring gauge); Brio (5.25 by 42); Sharp (torpedo, 6.25 by 52); Impromptu (5 by 48); Largo (7 by 50) and Treble (6 by 50).

The Olympus E-300 functions far more like a DSLR in terms of shot to shot recording rate, but still a bit slow when contrasted with Canon and Nikon's sub-$1,000 offerings. The E-300 will capture subsequent images with just .59 seconds between. This remains slightly behind the XT's .33 seconds and the D70's .35 seconds recording rate, but still far beyond most compact models.
Compared to...
Studio scene comparison (vs. Canon EOS 20D)
- Olympus E-300: Olympus ED 50 mm F2.0 Macro, Aperture Priority (F6.3),
ISO 100, JPEG SHQ, Manual WB, Default Parameters, Self-Timer
- Canon EOS 20D: Canon EF 50 mm F1.4, Aperture Priority (F9),
ISO 100, JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Parameter 1), Self-Timer

ISO 100, 1 sec, F9
5,420 KB JPEG (3264 x 2448)
2,931 KB JPEG (3504 x 2336)
We'll get the obvious out of the way first, the E-300 is not designed to compete with the EOS 20D. The EOS 20D body is $500 more than the E-300 kit. The primary reason for this comparison is (a) people will expect it and (b) it's the only direct comparison we can do between the E-300 and another eight megapixel digital SLR. Remember also that the E-300 continues its vertical resolution advantage, although with the EOS 20D it's down to just 112 pixels (5% more).
First color and tone, the tonal response between these two cameras is virtually identical (default parameters), however as with the EOS 300D the 20D's blues are a little paler and the E-300's reds have an orange hue shift compared to the EOS 20D. From a resolution and detail point of view it's pretty close, both cameras resolve similar amounts of information from the scene although the EOS 20D image appears to be sharper out of the camera with better per-pixel crispness.
(Footnote: Obviously we could have framed the scene horizontally which would have handed the EOS 20D a 7% horizontal resolution advantage, however in all our scene comparisons where there is a mismatch of aspect ratio we frame vertically).

Art San Diego for all tastes and budgets
Although in recent years Guerrero has not visited Tijuana as much, he did in his youth in the 1960s and 1970s, and while traveling to and fro, he perceived the visual bombing of what was created in Tijuana; he thinks somehow all that imaginary now recreates itself in his work. "It was a visual assault for us, those images influenced us especially in terms of imagination, because it was a totally different world, was a jumble of images."
"My first contact with the artist Leonardo Da Vinci was through a cast representation of the last supper. All mixed with indigenous artifacts and crafts created in the interior of Mexico. The border was, in fact, our Metropolitan Museum of Art".
Knowing the history of Mexico, among the works Guerrero will present at the fair, is a portrait of Charles V King of Spain, but with a twist. "I can not have hatred for the Spaniards because I'm part Spanish, but at the same time, wanted a little revenge and that is what I did with my painting (in which Carlos V has a fruit hat). He also is showing portraits of other artists with representations of the hybrid culture that exists in this region.
Another part of the fair includes supporting new artists or new galleries and two years ago it offered a space for the Gallery Node of Tijuana, where César Vázquez and Johnathan Ruiz work, they had a good reception and now they are returning as exhibitors and bring with them another artist Miguel Cheram Morales.
In Tijuana they still have Gallery Node, which for now opens Friday and Saturday. To the exhibition Ruiz is bringing drawings made with folded paper and intervened. Cheram uses a mixed media and Vázquez makes three-dimensional drawings.
And if the question is what is the most popular art these, days, well, that's difficult to explain, says the organizer Berchtold, because there are different sensitivities; there is so much diversity. All type of art is very diverse, in San Diego contemporary art is perhaps the most attractive for the buyer and prices range from 5,000 to 20,000 dollars.
"I also believe San Diego is also a very young business community. It's a great opportunity for young collectors who are starting to collect art and approaching galleries".
Organizers hope collectors visit the fair, but it is also a place for gallery owners, and artists to know what others are doing and to expand their networks. Artists and leaders from art are here. Many sponsors and museums come, "and we have school groups ranging from 5 years to teenagers. It is really open to all kinds of people," said Berchtold.
Another section of the show is for the spotlight artists, this year they are: Pablo Lehman, Drew Tal, Marcos Ramírez Erre, Margaret Noble and Kreashun.
Of them, Erre is an artist from Tijuana that enjoys international prestige and often is showing or giving lectures in different parts of the world. One of his most memorable works is a giant wooden horse that was once installed at the border.

DWI charge for Hudson man in crash that injured four
Emergency personnel responded to the 8:40 p.m. crash and found a 2005 Ford F-150 pickup truck on its roof along the northbound breakdown lane on Derry Street. Inside were the driver, identified as Kevin Rodonis, 42, of Hudson and his passenger Robin Rodonis, 39, also of Hudson.
Lisa Santiago, 40, of Londonderry and her 11-year-old daughter were in the other car involved in the crash, a 2011 Infinite M37X, ffound down an embankment along the northbound lane of Derry Street.
Hudson firefighters used extrication tools to get both Kevin and Robin Rodonis out of the wreckage. Kevin Rodonis initially was transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua, but then transferred to Beth Israel Hospital in Boston. Robin Rodonis was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Nashua.
Both are being treated for serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
Police said they do not know if the Rodonises were wearing seat belts.
Lisa Santiago and her daughter were transported to St. Joseph's Hospital to be evaluated for minor injuries. They were wearing seat belts and their airbags deployed in the crash, police said.
The crash happened as Kevin Rodonis was traveling south on Derry Street. Police said he crossed over into oncoming traffic and struck Santiago's car, causing his pickup truck to roll over and Santiago's vehicle to veer off the road and down an embankment.
Rodonis is free on $2,000 personal recognizance bail, with a May 29 arraignment set in 9th Circuit Court, Nashua District Division.

ExxonMobil (XOM) knew in 1984 that adding the chemical MTBE to gasoline to make it burn more thoroughly would triple incidents of groundwater contamination, lawyers for New Hampshire say at the opening of an $800M trial. XOM says the federal Clean Air Act overrides the state claims, and it was complying with a U.S. mandate to supply fuel that would burn more cleanly.

I have some knowledge of this. Exxon provided information to the state and federal governments that MTBE was not a desired agent to add to gasoline. The State of California was most forceful in rejecting Exxon's information and insisting that the oil companies use MTBE. Other states, including NH followed in lock step. The suits and claims today are kind of hollow excuse for a best intentioned government screw-up
MB, this is a state not federal action. XOM defense is that it was following a federal mandate. So in this case the answer is "no" but we're waiting to see what he intends to do about fracking and Keystone Pipeline.

OK, fine; I'll concede that point. But let's remember the inflation that's occurred since the time around my birth: $200 in 1980 would be just over $600 now. Even if we knock 20% off the effective buying power of that money, $500 in 2014 will buy a computer that's 100% ready to connect to a television and run an overwhelming majority of applications, including Visual Studio Express.

Any luck with virtualization? I know you can "lock" various ports for VM-only access, and that might simplify administration in some ways (i.e., if something happens to the install, roll back to a working snapshot, use a shared directory to output any work from the VM without directly exposing it to the network &c.).

A 2.5" drive is a 2.5" drive, be it SSD or conventional/platter-based. I don't guarantee this is the specific revision of your laptop(s), but upgrading doesn't look hard, and you'd have a mountain of storage space and a reasonable upgrade path. Now if you're running something that uses HDA modules like a Macbook Air does, that's a valid point. But I don't think the eeePCs ever did.

This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 1 F*cking Up The Full Potential Of Your Profile… You want to know something funny? There are several million, no TENS OF MILLIONS of men trying to meet and date women online, and it's the same number for men who're trying to do that on Facebook. In all the time I've been meeting and dating women on the internet via around 11 different, social networking sites, I've discovered an amazing secret that seems so obvious…but eludes so many of us. You see, 99% of the men online use only ONE THIRD of the full potential of their profiles…while the remaining two thirds only SERIOUSLY INJURE the chances of them ever achieving success. And that's when they're knowing what they're doing with that one third of potential, or things are sure to get even WORSE for them (how does RUINING your chances online forever and ever sound?) But…What's The Cause Of This Massmurdering Of The Chance To Get A Date Via The Internet, By So Many Men? It's NOT using all the areas of your profile that are available to you, because you either: - DON'T know they EXIST, or… - DON'T know how to USE them On Facebook, there are EIGHT profile areas (and them I'm grouping some into one BIG area) you can use to MULTIPLY the amount of women who will message YOU first…and to MAXIMIZE the effect of the messages you reply so you'll have more women eagerly awaiting your reply than you can handle. And the brutal truth is: the vast majority of males who're looking to get a date on the Web are only using THREE of these profile areas and, if they DO know about other profile areas, they DON'T know how to use them to create attraction. Do you understand what this means? It means that the majority of their profile (2/3 or 66%) is WASTED SPACE and if the other three areas are done well (and they almost never are), the huge amounts of wasted space will SABOTAGE their attempts at meeting women. I highly recommend you check out the profiles of other MEN after reading this Special Report, just so you'll see how much they SUCK (so you'll know how much women you can meet when you do it right because other men don't stand a chance against your profile). And it means that you, IF you know what these profile areas are and how to "pimp" them so not even a tenth of an inch of space on your profile is wasted because EVERYTHING is designed to create attraction…that you'll have an unfair advantage over every single rival for as long as you keep your profile up there! This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 2 Let alone the effects on the number of messages you'll receive (think a TENFOLD increase in very interested responses from women here) Let's dig in… The Hidden 8 Facebook Profile Areas That Will Seriously BOOST The Number Of Conversations You'll Have Online, If Used Correctly… 1. Photos She'll look at your photos FIRST, because a picture will tell her so much more then just some words..plus it tells her if you're cute or not. You can use them to let her know: she has competition (photos of you & other women), that you are a REAL guy and not some guy who's trying to be smooth (photos of you & family or friends), that you have a sense of class & style (your wardrobe and the people you hang out with on your photos, etc.), and more…see my other topic in this board for some more world-class tips. Things to do - Show her you're a desirable man with options and who's comfortable around women: include 2 photos of you hanging out with cute women - Don't try to be mister smooth and show women you're a real person, a people's person: include a photo of you and family, and 1 of you and friends - Avoid drug abuse, mooning the camera (showing your naked *ss, I can't understand why some guys think THAT will help) and constantly the same background and clothes (if you don't want to bore them to DEATH) - Make her desire to join your exciting life: include some photos of you on vacation, traveling, or in beautiful settings (sunset, in front of a waterfall, etc.) - Smile, once upon a time there was this little research project where women were given photos of two guys, one smiling and the other with a straight face, and asked which one was more attractive…guess what? The smiling bald guy won from the straight faced guy that still had hair - Show your passion and talents (if you love icehockey for example, use a photo of YOU doing it) 2. Descriptions The area where you can talk freely about yourself, women watch HOW you talk about closely to find out who you are: it shows them if you're confident, if you're exciting or just some boring guy, if you're attractive or...a total wussy or a needy guy, etc. From your descriptions she can tell whether or not you have standards and an exciting life she would like to join.. Things to do - Don't be boring…and use humor in your descriptions, use some emoticons (those :P and (A) and ☺ thingies, as they add EMOTIONAL impact, hence the name) and EMPHASIZE some words to again give everything you say more IMPACT This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 3 - - Tell about crazy experiences, wild adventures or your greatest passions and talk about it VIVIDLY: no I went to A, B and C but sensory details (how the setting smelled, sounded, felt, the colors and shapes) and emotional drama (how did you feel: anxious, happy, sad, enthusiastic, delighted, in love, etc.). Why? Because it lets her imagine it like she's there herself, which makes it compelling to talk to you more..because you tell such great stories Show some standards: make fun of outrageous types of women you don't like (for example pervy chicks surfing the internet looking for dudes to take advantage off or murderous stalkers faking as church women so they can get away with their homicidal tendencies, both are outrageous and will make a women LAUGH – which is a good thing) 3. Wallposts This is the area where a woman can see how OTHER people talk about you, which tells her if you're a social guy who's comfortable around women (and not some nervous introvert), whether she has competition (making her jealous and want to fight for you), if you have fun and an exciting life and so forth. Things to do - Women receive 30-50 messages from men PER DAY, but only a handful of wallposts per week…so don't hesitate to drop a wallpost and see what happens, because you'll stand out MUCH faster and standing out online among millions of competitors is half the victory Mr. Reader - Let other women happily chat away on your wall and do the same on theirs: it lets other women know they have competition and that you're a desirable man..(and I don't have to tell you how jealousy can rush things ahead because she just HAS to have you all to herself, do I?) 4. Interests What you like and dislike, it's the standard yes/no kinda questions on your profile...which she'll have a look at to see if you have things in common. But there are cool things you can do with interests to create massive amounts of curiosity and attraction.. Things to do - Don't be a good boy and fill in everything with boring crap, use humor like this…Hobbies: baseball, going out, crocodile wrestling, movies. I call this one the "odd one out" (remember that childhood game?), and you can use it to make her laugh, to be outrageous or even slight naughty (Hobbies: working out, mountainbiking, posing for the Playgirl) - Include an interest women like too here and there, such as: icecream (Ben & Jerry's or Haagen Dasz), soaps (The OC, Prison Break, etc.), movies (Pirates Of The Caribbean for example) 5. Groups Social networks have all kinds of groups (like the "Asian corner" and the "latino pride" or whatever), and being a member not only allows you to talk to a woman easier (by talking This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 4 about a common interest - the group you two are in) and there are many other ways too: forums, blogs of someone else (or yourself), etc. Things to do - List every single place you've ever gone to school or worked. This will make it a lot easier for people who have known you in the past to find you on Facebook. Also, when class reunions come up, you'll be invited! It's also easy to look for women who went there and easily start a conversation about it because you have something in common (it's meeting women in college, AFTER college now you're don't have to deal with puberty anymore) - Join groups of your hobbies, likes, passions and activities…because having fun conversations with women who SHARE your passions is so easy, a baby could do it - When you're a member of lots of groups, blogs and forums and post messages there, you'll become a familiar face (or better: one of the popular dudes) and make lots of friends..those friends have female friends too, which you can meet 6. Friends Friends can tell a lot about a guy...how open minded he is (does the NYC guy only know New Yorkers or other people too? do you have black, latino or whatever nationality friends too?) and being open minded equals spontaneity, which women love. If you have female friends you can use that to let a woman know you have options, to create jealousy, competition...and there's lots more! Things to do - Let them know you're a confident, open minded and desirable man…and have some female friends to create jealousy, have friends from all walks of life to show that you've been to places and are a REALLY social guy (this is social proof: that you have a life of your own and that you're comfortable around other people, and women) - The girl you sent a message has female friends you probably wouldn't find on your own because they set their profiles to "visible to friends only" or live in the smallest towns that you didn't even know existed…so why not message them too? Her male friends (and yours too) also know women you won't find that easily, why not message them too? 7. Media Sure you can put music or videos of Mortal Kombat, Star Wars, bloody violence and death metal bands on your profile...but the fact of the matter is: that's not what compells most women to find out more about you. Outrageous videos do attract women however, funny videos do too, r&b music does that as well…and so forth. Read on for other kick ass tips & tricks on the next page… This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 5 Things to do - Show a hottie that you're a trendy guy who stays current, that you know what women like and that you have good taste…and include some r&b, soul or nice & slow pop on your profile playlist - Don't be afraid to show your sense of humor: include a funny video, a piece of a comedian's show (Jeff Dunham for example is very popular these days) - A little mystery here and there works as well, so include a video of a magic trick, an illusionist..you get the idea 8. Design Women like a man with a sense of style, with good taste..and a profile that looks better than just plain black & white simply compells women LESS than a profile with a cool background, a nice design, etc. Things to do - Use contrasting colors to make sure women can read EVERYTHING you have to say (plus, don't overdo the happy happy factor with bright yellow OR the I'm as despressed as people can get look with grey and black) - Before signing up, choose a name that SAYS something compelling about you: not Brad10456, but if you love surfing waveswarriorbrad, not Timabcd but if you're a lumberjack champchoppertim…it sparks curiosity and shows your talents (which is attractive) Some Simple Facebook Profile Strategies Strategy #1: Update your profile as much as possible Redecorate the place once in a while will ya? Change the theme, maybe do something special for the holidays or other special events. Move things around. Add new photos or move old ones to the front. Try to improve all the profile areas even more, possibly even rewrite your profile once in a while and DON'T bore your women. Create new and interesting things for them to come back to. Strategy #2: No fillers Don't write things like "I like snowboarding" in your descriptions, because that may seem like a big deal too you because you're a snow junkie…but to women? It's meaningless. So tell them WHY you love it: how does it make you feel when you're boarding down the snowy hills at insane speeds? Use the "Reason Why" for all your passions, hobbies, interests and activities and you'll DOUBLE the number of women who'll reply to your messages or send you one first.. Strategy #3: Being able to see each other's profile On Facebook, you can't view other people's profiles if you aren't friends with each other, unless you are both in the same network. Seems like a disadvantage, right? It isn't when you network your but off! But don't choose a geographical network (based on where you live), always choose your school or college as your primary network. Geographical networks tend This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 6 to be looser, because it's harder to start a conversation based on "so hey you live in Australia too huh? Niiice!" That's being stupid, so smarten up. Strategy #4: Your status Be careful when filling out the "interested in", "relationship status" and "looking for" criteria. Saying that you are "looking for" a relationship or interested in one makes you look pretty damn desperate, needy even. And unless you want to turn women off before they've even started talking to you, don't. When you're trying to meet and date women online, it isn't a smart thing to say "relationship" either..it doesn't make you seem like a trustworthy guy if you're already cheating on your current girlfriend now, would it? So listing yourself as "single" is more then enough, sometimes it's even best not to fill out this part AT ALL. You can get your hands on a step-by-step way for "pimping" your profile so you'll receive INSANE amounts of messages from women and never have to worry about being dateless again. And if you want to learn not only that, but also how you can pocket an easy 10 phone numbers or email addresses a week from attractive, intelligent and beautiful women in a short afternoon? Then you should check out my Online Mentorship Program now on: www.win-with-women.com And I hope to see you on the Win With Women blog soon, Your friend Dennis This Special Report was brought to you by Dennis from www.win-with-womenblog.com Page 7

Is it possible to calibrate a thermometer without direct comparison to a master thermometer? I was wondering if there was a wax or a chemical misture with a melting point of 66 deg C, so plotting a cooling curve from 80 to 50 would show the points of inflection (if that is what they are called). My thermometer WAS calibrated to national standards 5 years ago and was reading 67 against a true 66, and I have no idea if this is still the case. I doubt that melting ice or boiling water would help, as those fixed points are well away from 66 deg C.
I've seen mention of other methods from time to time, but they are usually complicated beyond homebrewer capabilities. The trouble with wax would be that you'd see inconsistent temperatures at different points within the sample.
Most practical calibrations I have seen end up checking both a melting and a calculated boiling point and then assume any error is linearly distributed throughout the range. Or, better yet, they buy a good, pre-calibrated thermometer from a scientific supply store.
Get one of these to use as your benchmark:http://www.carolina.com/product/equi...Matches&page=1
They are certified traceable and the price is right. I like that the graduations are large and easy to read.
I think the best and simplest way to calibrate a thermometer is to follow the boiling point & freezing point methods (See here). These are proven accurate methods. The only problem here is if you don't have the correct temp that corresponds to your elevation if you're using the b.p. method.

John Calipari Won't Reveal the Mystery 'Tweak' That Will Display Kentucky's Renewed Swagger [VIDEO]
In a press conference in Atlanta, as the SEC Tournament continues, John Calipari revealed that he has a secret.
In a press conference in Atlanta, as the SEC Tournament continues, John Calipari revealed that he has a secret.
So THAT'S it. He's got a sore hip! Just kidding. John Calipari is absolutely not blaming the fact that he's been dealing with hip pain on ANYthing. And no one would expect that.
When Kentucky won the 2012 national championship, finishing the season with a 38-2 record, John Calipari's method of recruiting über-talented freshmen to fill up a roster was suddenly no longer questioned.
Guns and Hoses is coming up soon! It's the annual boxing match at The Ford Center between firemen and police officers, which benefits 911 Gives Hope. This afternoon, EPD Chief Billy Bolin came into the WBKR studios to talk about the event. I told him that I'd never been able to see the matches in the previous years and he pointed me in the direction of Youtube. Turns out there are tons of videos online that show you just how serious the fighters take these bouts!
Take a look and check it out!
Teams from the WBKR listening area brought it BIG Saturday in Frankfort at the KDCO Dance Team Championships! Get the full list of winners here . . .
Okay, so I think we can safely say that "meeting LSU for a third time in the SEC Tournament" is not on the Kentucky Wildcats' wish list. Not after the 'Cats barely edged the Tigers 77-76 in a Rupp Arena overtime classic.
We've seen Jarrod Polson this season. He's provided a needed break when either of the Harrison twins gets into foul trouble. But we don't ever see Madisonville's Jon Hood as much as we saw him Saturday afternoon in Starkville, Mississippi.
You gotta hand it to John Calipari. He doesn't waste opportunities. If he sees an opening, he WILL be provocative. Such an opening materialized after Kentucky handily beat Ole Miss 80-64 Tuesday night in Rupp Arena.
This will strike some as blasphemy, considering the way Big Blue Nation feels about former Kentucky Wildcats head basketball coach Billy Gillispie. But I believe he may be partly responsible for UK's Final Four appearances in 2011 and 2012.
I remember watching the NCAA Basketball Championship in 2012 when Kentucky won the title and seeing a shot of our troops overseas also watching the game.
var p = new anv_pl_def();p.loadVideoWithKey("eyJtIjoiR1JUViIsInAiOiIxMSIsInYiOiIyNzYyMTgwIn0=");
Some Kentucky fans tried to get into Rupp Arena Tuesday night to watch the 'Cats play Texas A&M. But they were turned away at the door.
Maybe the best recent news regarding Kentucky Wildcat basketball is the emergence of sophomore Alex Poythress as a force in the paint.
