I have an old Kitchenaid KAWE560W washer that is having a problem with the 'Normal load' final spin cycle. Lifting the lid during this cycle it's obvious that the drum isn't spinning. If I then close the lid, the drum starts spinning. Alternately, I can wait for the cycle to end (close will be dripping wet), then turn the dial back to this spin cycle and it'll start right up.
Yesterday I ran a couple of loads and checked to see if all the cycles were working. The agitator is working correctly (I recently replaced the agitator dogs), and all the rinse/spin cycles other than the last one are also fine. I'd be most grateful if someone can help me diagnose the problem and suggest what part(s) are needed to fix this washer (Sears equivalent parts are fine because I have a Sears parts store nearby). Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
This could be a lid switch problem. To test, jumper past the lid switch. If the washer returns to normal operation you know it's a lid switch problem. Lid switches are not that expensive and easy to replace. |
The final spin fails ONLY on the Normal/Regular cycle? Delicate, Perm Press, etc. are OK? A good way to diagnose the problem is run a cycle with the lid open and watch it every step of the way. Manually trigger the lid switch with a clothes pin or some other such object. It should fill for the wash period, agitate for the selected time, pause for a moment, drain, pause again, spin, fill for rinse, agitate, pause, drain, pause, final spin, shut off. Doesn't seem to be a problem with your lid switch, or the motor wouldn't be running at all during any of the spin period, and it also wouldn't be draining. The lid switch is wired into the reverse motor circuit. So, that leaves the timer or the neutral drain mechanism inside the transmission. The machine has a neutral drain mechanism in the transmission, which depends on the motor pausing for several seconds at appropriate points in the cycle, controlled by the timer. The motor is reversible ... it runs in one direction for agitate, the other direction for drain & spin. The pump is attached directly to the back end of the motor and runs at all times with the motor. During agitation the pump is forcing the water back into the tub so it doesn't drain. Also during agitation, the neutral drain mechanism gets preset inside the transmission so that the NEXT time the motor pauses and restarts in the reverse direction, the tranny shifts into neutral drain ... neither agitate or spin, and the pump runs in the proper direction to drain the water. When the motor pauses a 2ND TIME and restarts AGAIN in the reverse direction, the neutral drain mechanism releases and allows the basket to spin (and drain). The motor pausing TWICE is REQUIRED for spin to work. Well, except sometimes when the mechanism gets worn (or in a cold environment that thickens the tranny oil) the neutral drain doesn't quite catch and spin starts immediately when the motor reverses the 1st time. But in normal/proper operating conditions, two pauses are needed. It's possible for the timer to fail in such a way that the motor pauses don't occur. The only way to know that is by observing the cycle sequence. ANY pause and restart of the motor will trigger spin ... which is what happens when you open and close the lid ... or reset the timer to spin. Investigate if maybe it's a timer problem related to the 2nd pause not occurring before the final spin on your Normal cycle. |
Unless your clothes are soaking wet when the machine is done, I'm not sure anything is wrong with your washer. The above post is exactly correct - it is normal for Whirlpool-built top-load washers (at least of certain vintages) not to spin when draining, but to start spinning if it is shut off or the lid is opened at this time. Try sitting nearby during the last drain cycle, wait for several minutes, and listen for that pause and then restarting with spin. I'm not sure why they designed it this way, as I used to own one a long time ago and always thought it cleaned better if it spun during the drain period. That's what the old Maytag I had in my previous home did normally, and if I were in the vacinity when the Whirlpool (which owns & makes Kitchenaid) washer started to spin, I'd lift the lid and close it to get it spinning as it drained. I'm not sure if this was bad for it in some way, but mine was still working until I replaced it with a front-loader, at which time I sold the old machine. |
The OP does say that the clothes are still wet when the full cycle is done, but that the machine will spin if reset to repeat the final spin. Alternately, I can wait for the cycle to end (close will be dripping wet), then turn the dial back to this spin cycle and it'll start right up. |

Okay, here's a follow-up. I ran several loads tonight with the door lid switch bypassed and observed several things: 1. The other two cycles (delicate, permanent press) run fine all the way through. 2. I ran a REGULAR load with the water/load set at MEDIUM and it ran all the way through without any problem, including the final spin. 3. I ran a second REGULAR load, this time with a full load of sweatshirts, towels, etc. - a fairly heavy duty load. This time the washer failed to engage the final spin. My wife observed that she has seen this behavior before: a full load of whites (mainly composed of light weight items like T-shirts, underwear, socks) will often finish without any problems, but a full load of heavy items will always fail on the final spin. I took videos of the washer in operation when it successfully ran through the whole cycle and when it failed on the final spin. I'll try to post these on youtube tomorrow and provide the links. Based on dadoes comments, it seems like the timer might be the culprit because when the washer works correctly there is a definite pause before the final spin, and when it doesn't work right the pause isn't there. But I don't understand how or even if the weight of the load might be a factor. |
Load size shouldn't be a factor. Probably is just coincidental that it worked when you tested with the smaller load. If the Regular cycle is what you use the most, the timer cams would wear more in that section than in Delicate & Perm Press. Assuming the timer is the fault, a replacement at the online source I often use is $136. If that's more than you want to spend on the machine, a workaround (although inconvenient since is requires manual attention each time) is to enact a pause by opening/closing the lid when the final spin starts. |
- Posted by corsairf4u (My Page) on Thu, Jul 8, 10 at 10:43
You're right ... $136 is more than I want to spend to fix this washer. I put up the video I promised. Hopefully it'll show that something else is wrong with the machine (something cheap to fix). The first part of the video shows the REGULAR mode, MEDIUM load being washed, and the final spin successfully engaging. The second part is the REGULAR mode, FULL load, and it shows how the final spin hangs: (replace h_tp with http) h_tp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7W7Y0QuBXM I thought there was a difference in the amount of delay before the final rinse/spin but after watching the video, this does not appear to be the case. Maybe, just maybe, it means that something else, something cheap to fix is wrong? |
Per the video, the problem is the transmission, not the timer. The pause is OK. Note that in both "halves" of the video (1st when final spin works, 2nd when it doesn't), the machine is *already* spinning before the final spin sequence begins (the point of the pause, then restart with spray rinse). The drain period is supposed to be neutral *without* any spinning. If it does trigger spin during the initial drain, that indicates the neutral drain mechanism in the transmission is worn and not functioning properly. Proper sequence of operation is: Neutral drain also depends on the specific age/vintage of machine. Early-model Whirlpool-made washers of the direct-drive design *did* have a spin-drain. The neutral-drain function was added a few years into the production. I have a KitchenAid KAWE760W which runs a neutral drain, so yours should as well. There is a neutral drain repair kit available (~$14) to replace the parts involved, which should (but may not necessarily) fix the failed final spin as well. This involves pulling and opening the transmission, and skill/knowledge to swap the parts, possible need to replace the tranny's cork gasket so it seals properly when closed back up, etc. If you have mechanical ability, this may be the way to go. It may be easier to simply replace the transmission, which is what most service techs would do. A replacement tranny at the source I mentioned is $158 ... but then you'd have a nice new transmission out of the deal. Perhaps could find a better price on eBay. Note also that since the clothes have already spun for a bit as part of the drain period, the only reason they're wet when the final spin fails is due to the spray rinses. :-) And note also that your full model number includes a few more characters. It should be KAWE560WWH1 or some such. The last number is the engineering revision, which is relevant to minor changes that may occur on parts and design throughout the production period of the particular model. |

Thanks dadoes, the neutral drain repair kit is reasonably priced so that's where I should start. I don't know if I have the mechanical know-how to do the work, however. I'm going to have to mull this over ..... meanwhile I'll use the Permanent Press cycle or simply rerun the final spin cycle for the time being. Thanks again dadoes and thanks everyone for your input. |
I should clarify that the Whirlpool direct-drive washer design has been on the market since approximately 1983, initially under the Kenmore label. The neutral drain function was added 2 or 3 years in. You can get a service manual (in .pdf format) at Whirlpool's tech site www.servicematters.com. Look in the Technician Reference section, Technical Reference, Technical Library, Job Aids, Laundry Products. Click the blue flag to expand the section, click Page Down to find document L-55 Direct Drive Washers. The neutral drain kit is Part # 388253. You can get the installation instruction sheet for it under Technical Library, Part Instruction Sheets, enter the part number. |

That's great info ... thanks for the links dadoes! I've downloaded the PDFs and now have a good idea what I need to do to replace the neutral drain. |
Be aware also that the tranny is filled with oil (lower half), so you'll need to hold it securely level when opening the top of it so as to avoid a spill. The gasket possibly doesn't have to be changed if it doesn't get damaged and still seals OK, but sometimes they tear apart when it's opened. |
Somewhat OT, but why did Whirlpool adopt the "neutral drain" design? Does this result in better reliability or less wear on parts? I would think spinning the tub during water drainage would rinse clothes better. |
Just curious if the washer got fixed. I have a 1990 Kenmore washer with exactly the same problem - no final spin, or rather final spin does not reliably occur (on the regular cycle), especially with a full heavy load. I replaced the timer but that did not fix the problem. |
The water does drain, just no spin? If you catch it in the act and stop/restart (push/pull the timer), does it spin then? Are you sure it's only the final spin that's failing? There's a spin after wash, before agitated rinse and it's not obvious if that's also failing unless you watch/monitor the machine for the entire cycle. Assuming the lid switch is not being erratic, there's the timer (already changed by you), internal transmission components related to neutral drain and driving the clutch bell, the clutch & brake components outside the transmission (which includes the spin tube & drive block to which the basket mounts), or the reverse motor windings/wiring. |
The water does drain, just no spin? --> that's correct. During the last part of the cycle when it should be spinning, it just sits there making a humming noise (not an unusual noise, one of its regular noises, just not the spinning sound/vibration). If you catch it in the act and stop/restart (push/pull the timer), does it spin then? Are you sure it's only the final spin that's failing? There's a spin after wash, before agitated rinse and it's not obvious if that's also failing unless you watch/monitor the machine for the entire cycle. Assuming the lid switch is not being erratic, there's the timer (already changed by you), internal transmission components related to neutral drain and driving the clutch bell, the clutch & brake components outside the transmission (which includes the spin tube & drive block to which the basket mounts), or the reverse motor windings/wiring. One other idea I had. When I replaced the timer, I kept the old one, which apparently is still perfectly good. So I have one to play with. I was wondering if I could file or bend something on there to create the motor pause. P.S. Thanks for the analysis and advice |

From what I can see, start with the two cheapest parts. 1: Lid Switch 2: Tranny/Motor Coupling I would not be surprised that the coupling is worn causing spin failure. |
Well, it's been 18 months since the OP came here with the problem. From what I saw, the machine was behaving normally. I have a 93' vintage WP DD unit that looks very similar to the one in the video. At the end the neutral drain drains the tub all the way, then the final spin starts. If I want it to "hurry up" I can open and close the lid and this will bypass the neutral drain and start spinning. It seems to me that the OP was not waiting long enough for the water to drain completely before exercising the lid to start the spin cycle. |

Jake Gyllenhaal's Officer Taylor and his partner Zavala (Michael Peña) are worlds apart from Woody Harrelson's corrupt cop in the recent hit RAMPART, for they truly believe that the good guys always win – but in the brutal ganglands of South Central LA, it's a tough call. Crackheads gaffer-taping their troublesome kids in closets, gold-plated AK-47s hidden in pick-ups, and the sordid consequences of people-trafficking are all in a day's work for these two.
Writer/director David Ayer leavens the often ferocious but always gripping action with much humour and humanity as Taylor and Zavala's personal lives knit them ever closer together, and Anna Kendrick (UP IN THE AIR) and Natalie Martinez are great as their respective loves. But when Taylor and Zavala accidentally expose a cocaine-smuggling racket, major retribution is unleashed on them. Their bond is put to the ultimate test, and the winning is distinctly double-edged.

Highlights of the Four Nations Final from the Westpac Stadium, Wellington
Highlights of the Four Nations match between Australia & Samoa
Highlights of the Four Nations match between New Zealand & England
By Andrew Ryan
10:00am Wed 17th April, 2013
NRL One Community have partnered with NSW Health to support their 'Know When to Say When' responsible drinking campaign for the 2013 Country City Match. The campaign aims to raise awareness about the effects drinking can have on not only yourself but your family, work colleagues, friends and partners.
Australia has a strong culture of alcohol consumption; whether it's a few drinks after work or at a sporting event, it's not unusual to see a drink in most people's hands. The campaign is not about stopping drinking all together it's about getting people to know their limits and when is enough.
We all know the immediate effects of alcohol such as dizziness, loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, slow reactions and blurry vision but rarely do people think about the effect it has on people around you.
Key messages we will be promoting at the Country v City match and some tips on how to monitor your drinking include:
We have recently filmed a Community Service Announcement to be played at the Country City game and one figure that stood out to me the most is that there are over 3,000 deaths from Alcohol in Australia every year.
Knowing when to say when, therefore, can benefit everyone.
Along with myself, a few other One Community Ambassadors will be present at the Country City game during the precinct handing out giveaways, getting photos in the 'know when to say when' photo booth and for a bit of fun doing a relay race at half time.
I love this time of year when all the Rep games are on. All the players and fans love the Country vs. City match. I can't wait to be at the ground cheering the Country boy's home.
We hope to see you all out there to watch a great match and enjoy the game but remember; 'Know When to Say When'.

GARY — Five-month-old Syrus Morgan remains in critical condition at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital with severe head and brain injuries, police said Thursday evening.
The newborn was flown to Chicago on Tuesday night after his mother, Siarra Morgan, 19, and her boyfriend, Melvin McNair, 27, called for an ambulance because the child was lifeless and his lips were purple.
Emergency room personnel told police Syrus appeared to be the victim of abuse, prompting police to arrest both his mother and McNair.
Child Protective Services had been contacted as well, police said.
Detectives were questioning McNair again on Thursday.
He was home alone with the baby while Siarra Morgan went to the store. McNair said the baby was crying while he played a video game, but then he noticed the baby appeared ill and called Morgan to return to their home in Aetna.
Investigators say they are waiting for additional medical information about the extent of injuries, the time they were inflicted and other information.
Both Morgan and McNair may be released from custody until the investigation is complete, police said.
Anyone with information can call the Violent Crimes Unit at 881-1210 and ask for Detective Cpl. Edward Gonzalez, Daryl Gordon or James Nielsen.

What Do Ethical and Sustainable Meant to Today's Beauty Consumer?
By: Imogen Matthews
Posted: December 12, 2008
page 3 of 3
Nude, a U.K. natural skin care brand, strives to make responsible decisions to reduce materials, pollution and waste. Much of its packaging is made from recycled and corn-biodegradable materials, and the company is working to make 100% of its packaging from post-consumer recycled or biodegradable materials. In terms of formulations, some, but not all, ingredients are organic, fair trade and community traded.
U.S. natural personal care brand Burt's Bees has published its first corporate social responsibility report on its Web site. The Greater Good Social and Environmental Progress Report: 2008 and Before documents its commitment to sustainable business practices.

Procurement Leaders in Chicago: The Johnson & Johnson Experience — A CPO Perspective (Dispatch 3)
- March 28, 2012 8:03 AMPlease click here for the first post in this series on J&J from Procurement Leaders Forum in Chicago.
J&J not only has a massive global spend. As I mentioned in my last post, it has a massive number of suppliers in total: 87,000. Today, J&J's spend pretty much follows the 80/20 rule. 80% of its spend rests with just under 2,700 suppliers. Yet the bottom 20% of its spend is spread across over 84,000 vendors. Moreover, 70% of spend is single-sourced (in what sounded like the direct or "supply chain" area, as Hans Melotte, Worldwide VP and Chief Procurement Officer of J&J, described it). Going forward, supplier consolidation will be key. But Melotte does not want his organization to "whack suppliers for the sake of it."
Rather, the remedy will take a more targeted approach, involving "right sizing" suppliers at the top end of the spend profile spectrum. In addition, J&J will "shift to preferred suppliers" in key areas and "cleanse" the tail end of its supply base. But perhaps most interesting, J&J plans to tackle spend further upstream in the R&D process by "institutionalizing new product introduction (NPI) discipline." The strategy here will require that J&J does not launch a new product unless multiple sources of supply are qualified for it or alternative suppliers are identified prior to launch (with back-up plans in place).
Looking forward, one innovative approach J&J is taking to tapping supplier creativity is a new Innovation Exchange, where procurement team members can post challenges they have and ask suppliers to respond. In reality, such an approach represents an open crowdsourcing forum within the approved supply base. For example, a packaging supplier can respond to a question about how optimal structure and reduced costs for a new product. Who says social networking models and sites don't have their place in corporate procurement?
Incidentally, if you're curious about how J&J stacks up relative to its peers, we considered them an "Innovator" on the Geoffrey Moore scale the last time we measured procurement sophistication in pharma and CPG. Joining them at the upper end of the bell curve were GSK, Merck and a handful of others. This is further proof why companies should push the limits of procurement technology by investing in new programs like J&J's Innovation Exchange.

"Ambassadors" Eyed As Crime-Fighting Allies
by Thomas MacMillan | Mar 30, 2012 1:09 pm

Posted to: City Hall
As downtown "ambassador" Joshua Harris helped nab a fleeing bank robber, a downtown alderman is pitching a related idea: put sidewalk greeters like him in neighborhoods throughout the city and equip them with police radios.
It might be cheaper than hiring more cops, the alderman, Douglas Hausladen, told the Board of Aldermen's Public Safety Committee last week.
More ambassadors—helpful sidewalk-roaming "concierges"—in the city would mean more eyes and ears on the street to spot and stop crimes, Hausladen argued at the March 20 committee meeting. Right now only downtown has ambassadors. If they see a problem, they call the police department like any other citizen.
Hausladen's case in point about the crew's crime-fighting potential came Monday of this week, when ambassador Harris spotted red dye coming out of the pocket of a woman heading towards a city bus. He alerted downtown beat cop Officer Pete Ballolli who ended up arresting the woman for robbing the TD Bank at the corner of College and Chapel.
"Synergistic bliss," Hausladen called it on Tuesday afternoon.
"We see something, that's what we do," downtown ambassador Harold Hasell (at right in above photo, with Harris) said of his colleague's assist.
The pair said some people already think ambassadors are cops—especially since they sometimes ride bikes, and they wear yellow uniforms similar to cycle-cops' jackets. Other people mistake them for parking meter readers.
"People will run past me and put money in the meter," said Harris, who's 24.
"Full sprint!" Hassell added.
Hausladen has not created a formal proposal for ambassador expansion yet. But his idea was greeted with cautiously open arms when he floated it at last week's committee meeting.
Hausladen, a freshman alderman, said he's not yet putting forward an official proposal in part because he's still learning the ropes three months into his first term. He said he he's not sure how new ambassadors would be paid for, but said there are a variety of options, from grants to neighborhood fundraising to the city's general fund. In the meantime, he's just trying to see if people are into the general idea.
"First and foremost: Is this something desired by the city?" Hausladen said. If it is, then the city can begin to talk about how to pay for it.
Ambassadors have been walking downtown's sidewalks since 1998, said Win Davis, the deputy head of Town Green Special Services District, which pays for the staff of 15.
"We provide hospitality and safety services as well as maintenance," Davis said. "We are walking concierge-type people downtown."
Being "extra eyes and ears" for the police department has always been a focus of the program, Davis said. "We're in daily contact with our downtown officers."
"Any way that we can have a closer relationship with the police department helps us do a better job," said Davis. As for whether ambassadors should be given police radios, Winn said, "Ultimately that would be up to the police department."
As part of a recent effort to revive community policing, downtown now has five full-time walking-beat officers. Walking cops have been deployed to other neighborhoods as well.
As police Chief Dean Esserman looks to hire more cops and increase walking beats even further, members of the Public Safety committee raised concerns about how the city will pay for it.
"Downtown ambassadors can be much more cost effective," Hausladen said. The job pays a living wage, he said. Wages start at $9.75 an hour, Davis said.
The ambassadors could be trained to use police radios and relay information immediately to the cops, Hausladen said. It would be like having a fleet of security guards around the city, he said.
You're talking about making this citywide? Alderwoman Jackie James asked.
Yes, Hausladen replied. "People from the neighborhoods" could be hired and trained, he said. It could start with other business improvement districts, like the Grand Avenue Village Association the Chapel West Special Services District.
In fact, Chapel West on March 8 contracted with the Town Green to have ambassadors further down Chapel Street six days a week, Davis said.
"It'd be interesting to flesh this idea out," city Chief Administrative Officer Rob Smuts said after the aldermanic meeting. Anything that would help get more information to police would be valuable, he said.
"We have a lot of unemployed people" in the city, Hausladen said. An expanded ambassador program could be "a training ground" for police academy cadets.
"I would love to talk more about this," said Beaver Hill Alderman Brian Wingate, chair of the Public Safety Committee. He said there might be a "safety issues" with putting ambassadors into all neighborhoods.
"Are civilians going to take these people seriously?" he asked. "I know we're all trying to save city dollars, but we don't want to put people in harm's way."

Doing this would be so cost-effective and impactful at reducing crime on a long term basis, especially if we hired local residents who need jobs instead of suburbanites, that the Police Union would never allow it.

Hausladen is on fire.
This should be implemented as soon as humanly possible.
Proactive eyes on the street who give New Haven a good name to EVERYONE who visits is exactly where we should spend money.
1. Had my lost wallet returned by downtown ambassadors
2. Been financially helped by a downtown ambassador who didn't even know me
3. Been given great directions by downtown ambassadors
I noticed the downtown ambassadors shortly after I started working downtown, when I first moved here, and they really boosted my already positive impression of New Haven.

I know Anon is going to jump for joy at this, but I think it's a bad idea.
You can't put untrained civilians into a role that police should occupy. Ambassadors will get shot. The police union will also fight this tooth and nail.
If this happens, these people should be trained on much more than how to handle a radio.

Sounds like as good idea but must be controlled'

"You can't put untrained civilians into a role that police should occupy."
There is no difference between ambassadors with radios and citizens who walk the streets with cell phones.
Police do not manage urban space. People do.
Police patrols are irrelevant; in fact, they may mke residents feel even more unsafe. Having the "eyes and ears" of people on the street is the only thing that prevents crime.
Many other communities take the "BID" approach suggested here, and, when coupled with other improvements such as hiring locally and hiring people to clean sidewalks, they have seen enormous reductions in crime.
The reduction in crime we would see is the main reason why the Police Union would oppose this idea.
We can keep our crime rates the way they are, or we can try a new approach that is proven to virtually eliminate crime and cost very little.
Hiring more police officers from the suburbs will only increase our crime rates relative to the State, and increase our tax bills.
posted by: Win Davis on March 30, 2012 2:40pm
Streever - Thank you for the positive words on the program! I agree that the Ambassadors are a great asset to Downtown and I am very proud to be working with them. We serve as extra "eyes and ears" who can "observe and report" to the Police Department.
We must keep in mind that Ambassadors are meant to assist the public and local law enforcement, certainly not take the place of the Police in any neighborhood. This story hinges on the fact that Officer Pete was walking the beat on Chapel Street—Ambassador Harris' ability to report his observation to the PD is what made the difference. Thank you to the NHPD for your fine work on the beat!
posted by: Anderson Scooper on March 30, 2012 6:26pm
What is a living wage in New Haven? $9.75/hour? Or $12-$15/hour?
In any case, it would make more sense to put people to work, than to let them hang out on unemployment, year after year in this down economy.
The other question is if neighborhood ambassadors could be managed properly without the strong organization which is the Town Green SSD?
posted by: anonymous on March 30, 2012 6:30pm
Philly has has 85+ murders since January.
"No one believes that the police can solve the problem themselves. Francis Carmen, who works as a public defender in the city and specializes in murder cases, says that "putting more cops on the street would be akin to hiring more street cleaners in an effort to stop people from littering."
Using the $5M per year proposed to hire new cops instead to hire local residents in Newhallville to clean streets and parks, run basketball leagues, and serve as Ambassadors there would most likely reduce the crime there from a murder rate that makes Philadelphia look really good down to about zero.
Are there any civic leaders who honestly want to reduce our crime rate?

True story: last year, I saw one guy chasing another guy and trying to hit him with a tree branch (yes, a branch. Not a stick) in the intersection of Temple and Elm at around 7:30 in the evening. The would-be victim wasn't really in any danger but the argument was loud and rowdy and the first person I saw to report it to was a Downtown Ambassador further down the street. Honestly, I always thought they had the ability to summon the cops quickly on the radio if needed.
It's an idea whose time has come.

***"Are civilians going to take these people seriously?" he asked. "I know we're all trying to save city dollars, but we don't want to put people in harm's way."***
Exactly. If you expect downtown ambassadors to get involved in law enforcement, they're going to need training and higher. Then that's not a downtown ambassador anymore.
Let's say an ambassadors spots a mugging, and starts to radio it in. What happens if the mugger then kicks the crap out of the ambassador? Or stabs or shoots that person?
posted by: anonymous on April 2, 2012 9:27am
Anyone can call in a mugging to 911. I'd say that the guarantee of having a safe city for our young persons, something that has not happened in 40 years despite the expansion of the police force, outweighs your highly unlikely "what if" scenarios.

""I would love to talk more about this," said Beaver Hill Alderman Brian Wingate, chair of the Public Safety Committee. He said there might be a "safety issues" with putting ambassadors into all neighborhoods."
"Let's say an ambassadors spots a mugging, and starts to radio it in. What happens if the mugger then kicks the crap out of the ambassador? Or stabs or shoots that person?"
I don't think those are entirely reasonable objections. What happens if a private citizen witnesses a mugging? How often does it happen that a passer-by witnesses a violent crime in progress, stops to call the police, and is him- or herself victimized?
posted by: Curious on April 2, 2012 10:41am
A civilian who calls it in takes their own chances. If this is part of an ambassador's job, then they have a duty to call it in, and if they get hurt because of it, then the city is on the hook for it if found to have not trained and equipped that person properly. Someone properly trained and equipped is not going to cost New Haven $10 an hour.
Why can't this be done in cooperation with the PD instead of as an alternative?

ChEAR Squad for 2013 Half Marathon - worth the price?
Hi Everyone. I'm running my first Disney half marathon (actually, my first half marathon period) in January. My wife and kids have been very supportive of my training and want to be there when I finish so we were looking into the ChEAR Squad. My youngest will be 8 months old at the time, so the idea of the heated tent that comes with the Platinum level is quite appealing, but at $105 ()per person, is quite steep.
Has anyone here (or your family/friends) done the ChEAR Squad before? Is it worth it? Thanks!

I was in the ChEAR squad when my wife ran the 2011 Princess Half Marathon. The amenities for the different levels have changed over that time. I believe I did the Gold level which included the T-shirt, a folding chair-like sitting apparatus, and the special viewing areas both in front of the castle and at the finish line. Oh, and don't forget the Mickey head clappers (my girls loved those). I think the price at that time was around $50. For me, the best part of the package (or any level package that includes these) were the viewing areas which were well placed and easily accessed. The viewing area in the front of Cinderella castle gave the viewers an unobstructed view of their family members as they emerged from the castle, ran past the viewing area and continued into Liberty Square. At the finish line, bleachers were used for the viewing area also providing a good view of the finish.
Is the Platinum level worth the money? I think the answer depends on how involved in the race your family will be. If they are only going to see you finish (not start) the race, I would have them plan to be at Epcot 30 minutes before your anticipated finish. No Epcot ticket is required to enter the finish line area (will need the Gold package to use the Grandstand seating). If the family will be there for the start and the finish (at Epcot) but will not follow you to the Magic Kingdom, then certainly a heated tent does sound appealing particularly considering the 8 month old. The average low temp for January 12 is 47 degrees; it is possible the heated tent will not be necessary (of course, the record low is 24 degrees for that date). The other Platinum amenities (character greetings, brunch, etc) are also appealing if the family is staying at Epcot while you run. All that being said, the $420 pricetag for your wife and three children seems pretty steep to me. If your family is going to chase you to the Magic Kingdom and back, I would not purchase the Platinum level because they will have very little time to enjoy the amenities. The chase includes a Monorail ride to the TTC, change trains, Monorail to the Magic Kingdom, sitting in front of the castle waiting on you to arrive, Monorail back to the TTC, change trains, Monorail to Epcot, walk to finish line to see you finish. Depending on your anticipated finish time there is likely to be very little time to enjoy the Platinum amenities (and all that rushing around tends to keep people warm as well). I apologize for the long-winded answer but I think there are quite a few variables to consider before purchasing a ChEAR package. Good luck with your training. My wife and I will be there running the half marathon together this year.

Countdown to Derrick's arrival: 2 days!
"So," Brad asked when I got into work today. "Does Derrick need a place to stay?"
"No. He's staying with me."
Brad looked visibly disappointed :(.
"If you wanted me to take him for a night, I can."
"It's fine Brad, really."
"So what are we doing this weekend?"
"I don't know, Brad."
If you think Brad has a secret thing for Derrick you'd be right. But not in that way. Brad has always followed Derrick around like this little eager puppy looking to learn the secrets of being a player. It really bugs me, because with the exception of the Brad and Sarah debaucle, Brad's actually a nice guy. Why he aspires to jerkdom is beyond me. I excused myself and sat down to check my email.
To: Sarah, K.
From: Jane
Subject: Don't hate me
I have this work thing tonight, so I'm going to have to bail on dinner. Rain check?
- Jane
I called Sarah.
"Did you see Jane's email?" I asked.
"She's blowing us off."
"Are you okay?"
"What's up?"
"It's over."
"With Baby Mama Drama?"
"What happened?"
"Got back together with his ex."
"Oh no! Do you wanna come have lunch and talk?"
"Nah, I'll just see you tonight."
I hung up and called Jane.
"Hey, Baby Mama Drama dumpedSarah. R u sure you can't get out of this work thing tonight?"
"K, I can't. I just started here."
"What is this thing tonight anyway?"
"It's a going away party for someone."
UGH! Is she kidding? After the way we dropped everything to comfort her when she broke up with Tom? She has to go to a going away party for someone she's known forless than two weeks when her BF is in a crisis? I'll say it again. UGH!
As soon as I got off the phone, Thad, New Anchor was next to my desk. The dude looked like he spent more time on his perfectly coiffed hair then Sarah, Jane, and I put together. He was short (you know what they say about everyone on TV :) ), and one of those closetalkers. He leaned in so I got a gross dose of his tuna salad breath.
"Hey K," he began. "Can we talk about the show?"
In case you aren't familiar with anchor talk, "Can we talk about the show?" really means, "I hate the show. Change everything." It's a precarious relationship between an anchor and a producer. Technically, it's my show, but there's an unspoken rule that you have to keep the talent happy. I could kill Robert for moving my old anchor to the 11:00 show, without warning, mind you.
Okay, so I'm used to difficult anchors. I've been dealing with them for years. But an anchor that's staring at my boobs the whole time he's complaining? That's a new one, and I'm not sure how to handle that exactly. My only hope? That Robert will move him to a different show. Like Ashley's. Let this perv ogle her boobs.
J/k. Truce and all :>). Kinda.

September 30, 2010
The following obituary was released by the Consistory of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church, in Kolozsvár:
The Consistory of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church announces with deep sorrow the decease of its retired leader, Rev. Dr. Árpád Szabó, the thirtieth bishop of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church, who passed away on September 30, 2010, at the age of seventy-six, following a year of hard illness endured with dignity and good faith.
During his lifetime, he worked to promote the fulfillment of the centuries-old, historic mission of the Unitarian church, and served its needs with devoted enthusiasm, at convenient and inconvenient times. "Ye are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid!"
He preached the gospel of Jesus: the experience of God's provident love, the responsible vocation of the Christian people, and the preserving power of a religious community.
He was born in 1935 in an ancient Unitarian village along the valley of the Homoród, and he studied in Városfalva, Székelykeresztúr and Kolozsvár, where he obtained his ministerial degree between 1953 and 1957. He started his career in the church as a secretary to the bishop between 1958 and 1965, later as the minister of the downtown Kolozsvár congregation between 1965 and 1976. In 1974, he became the professor of Unitarian biblical theology at the Protestant Theological Institute, and in 1977-1978, the scholarship holder of the Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago. In 1996, the Synod elected him as the thirtieth bishop of the church, reinforcing his title in 2002. He retired in 2008, after half a century of church service.
The first part of his service passed in a period of great tribulations in church history, while the second part fell in times of opened perspectives. He fulfilled his mission with responsibility and commitment in both periods. As a minister, he called the attention of his parishioners upon the providing care of God and His power to preserve the community. As a teacher, he worked for the aim of passing on his knowledge in theological science and the vocation of ministry to the young generations. As a bishop, he sought to find orientation among newly appearing opportunities, and urged the spiritual and financial strengthening of the church.
His attention was also extended on intellectual needs: by his own example, he encouraged the pursuance of theological sciences and literature, and the editing of church periodicals. The restarting of the denominational schools and their development into quality educational institutions, the strengthening of the church institutions, the constructions of new church buildings, and the promotion of international relations are all good evidence for his devoted, conscious, responsible service.
His funeral service will take place on Monday, October 4, 2010, at the Unitarian church of downtown Kolozsvár, from where he will be accompanied to the cemetery of Házsongárd.
May his memory be blessed!

Rev. Peter Morales, president of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations (UUA), a letter of condolence on September 30, 2010. to Bishop Bálint Benczédi of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church. To learn more about the contributions of Szabó, please read Morales's letter.
The Consistory of the Transylvanian Unitarian Church has announced the establishment of the Szabó Árpád Memorial Fund for PhD Scholarships in Unitarian Theology.
Following Bishop Szabó's recent passing, the intention of the church leadership is to immortalize his legacy by creating a motivational source of support and inspiration in a field that was most dear to him. Bishop Szabó himself was a recipient of a PhD degree in Unitarian theology, from the Protestant Theological Institute in Kolozsvár; he was also granted an honorary doctorate from both the Protestant Theological Faculty in Montpellier, France, as well as the Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago, USA. As he became a theological professor, he had led the PhD training of some of his spiritual successors, acting as a model for a theologian of dedicated research and prolific writing.
The creation of the memorial fund aims to provide financial and professional support for those choosing to enter PhD training in Unitarian theology. The fund will act as an endowment, sharing its annual benefits among those enrolled in such a program.

An actor who starred as one of two California highway officers in the hit 1970s TV series "CHiPs" will be cruising through Ohio on Saturday.
Erik Estrada was joining a motorcycle ride beginning at 11 a.m. at a Fairborn restaurant in southwestern Ohio.
The event benefits the Virginia-based Safe Surfin' Foundation, which tried to raise awareness of web-based crimes against children. Estrada is the group's celebrity spokesman.
The Dayton Daily News reported that registration to join the ride is $20 per bike, and included a chance to meet Estrada.
Estrada was most famous for his role as Frank "Ponch" Poncherello on "CHiPs," and more recently has been starring in reality TV series.

Just completed another trade with karyn. Not only did she send her seeds fast, but they were really nice. Would trade with her anytime! Darla |
Just completed my 1st trade with Karyn, really appreciate her leaving such tiny seeds in the pods -- far easier to open them over soil when sowing. I used to live in general area she lives in, brings back many fond memories -- old stone walls will soon be topped with blooming azaleas. I miss the cherry blossoms and old lovely homes that have incredible gardens, can visualize Karyn has done the same from reading this thread. I look forward to more trades with her. Thank you Karyn! |

I completed another trade with Karyn. She must be a mind reader, she sent me seeds of a plant that just gave up the ghost and needed replacing.

I have to say that I am dissapointed in Karyn right now. I am on bed rest and having complications with my pregnancy due to the fact that I had my tubes tied and that I wasn't supposed to have any more kids because my body wouldn't be able to support another baby. So I was doing well when things went wrong during the trade. I tried to keep Karyn updated and asked repeatedly for time, understanding and her address. All I have gotten in return is name calling, threats and stress added to my high risk pregnancy. girlsingardens |
- Posted by karyn1 MD 7 (email@example.com) on Sat, Jun 14, 08 at 21:10
The above post is somewhat unbelievable. Please refer to my negative post regarding this trader. I think my previous ratings speak for themself. I know many wonderful people on GW and have the utmost patience but when I've been lied to repeatedly I can only hold back for so long. Karyn |
- Posted by plant-one-on-me MI 5b (My Page) on Sun, Jun 15, 08 at 12:37
I have to agree with Karyn, Stacie aka girlsingardens has made many excuses for almost 2 months now as to why she was negligent in sending out trades not only to my granddaughter but to another child as well. Karyn's other R&R's speak for themselves. |

Wow, what a generous trader! Now, if I can get some of these lovelies to thrive in my yard! She (karyn1) responds quick to emails, & sends out quick too! A true asset to GW & hope to keep in touch! ;P Thank you for being wonderful! |
i would definitely recommend anyone to trade with karen. she is a generous and thoughtful trader. thanks again karen! |
I have traded several times with Karyn and they have all been great experiences. She is very quick sending and very cordial in her e-mails. She has quite an amazing collection of exotic plants and she is generous in sharing them. I highly recomend her. Many blessings, Karyn! Francisco |
Karyn is great!!!, she sent lots of unexpected goodies cheers Jeff |
Karyn is a fast shipper and a very considerate trader. I am blown away by her sambac jasmine. She understood the sentimental value of this plant for me and she packed it so well it arrived looking like a million bucks. Thank you, Karyn! Dee |

I got my first brugs seeds from Karyn as well, and they were a bonus at that! She sent me a rare want of mine and was absolutely awesome with communication. She also protects her seeds very well and labels them. Her first package to me apparently got lost in the mail, but she quickly sent out more since she had some more of what I had requested. I am so grateful for her trade and for resending to me. Thanks so much, Karyn, for being willing to trade with me for these! Blessings, |

Recently, Karyn offered seeds for an SASBE, which I took her up on, receiving her well stuffed package a couple days ago. Wow!

Karyn is awesome. Sweet, funny, and loves her plants! I traded her a cat's claw for peonies. Peonies came in perfect condition! Nicely wrapped with new growth & ready to go in the ground. We had some delays from the ridiculous winter weather, but she kept in good communication & we had a great trade. |

Karyn sent me some seeds for postage a few weeks back. She had told me months ago when she got seed she would let me know and she did. She is a very generous person. Hope one day I will have something she wants. |

Karyn offered a rooted fig cutting for postage. When I took her up on the offer, she checked with me on my preferred shipping day. (Very important with the heat.) The box I received was fantastic. The fig cutting was in great shape. But, best of all, Karyn remembered the plants I love and included a cutting and some seeds. I hadn't been active in gardening forums for a couple of years so I was very surprised. |

A trade with Karyn is like Santa coming early. You realise a package is coming but there are wonderful extras. My plants were healthy and secure upon arrival. She even checked my want list and added a bit of "special" to my package. She's a jewel! |
