In May, USAID's Business and Economics Education Project (B&EE) helped open the Kazakhstan-American Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Innovation (KACEBI) at the Western-Kazakhstan Institute of Languages and Management "Evrazia". The center provides strategic consulting services and training for entrepreneurs in the areas of financial management, marketing, and human resource management to improve market-oriented business practices in the West Kazaskhstan Oblast and the surrounding region. In addition, KACEBI is partnering with Western universities to bring undergraduate and graduate degree programs specializing in entrepreneurship to the region.
On May 12, 2006, an official opening ceremony commenced the work of the Kyrgyz-American Center for Entrepreneurship Studies (KACES) at the Osh Technological University. The center is the first business training school in the Kyrgyz Republic that is affiliated with an institution of higher education. The center will help to improve the business environment in Osh by providing current and aspiring entrepreneurs with access to much needed practical training and materials. It is also expected to foster greater penetration of business and entrepreneurship curriculum into higher education. Moreover, the center is planning to work closely with the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth Policy to develop curricula changes that will encourage universities to adopt hands-on case study methods of teaching.

Four of the top ten PC games are World of Warcraft
1. WoW: Battle Chest
2. The Sims 2 Double Deluxe
3. World Of Warcraft
4. Nancy Drew: The Phantom Of Venice
5. Spore Creature Creator
6. Diablo Battle Chest
7. Warcraft III Battle Chest
8. WoW: Burning Crusade
9. The Sims 2 Ikea Home Stuff
10. Call of Duty 4
Just wild. Diablo's Battle Chest is undoubtedly there because of the Diablo III announcement, but the rest is all World of Warcraft -- people are picking up the game, its expansion, the Battle Chest (which combines both), and even the predecessor Warcraft III (in which the Wrath backstory features prominently) in droves.
PC gaming isn't dead at all. But there's no question that of the struts keeping it standing, Blizzard is definitely one of the strongest.

Ritter takes BFL Super Tournament on Mississippi River
LACROSSE, Wis. — Boater Jeff Ritter of Prairie Du Chien, Wis., earned 300 points and $5,648 Sunday as the winner of the Wal-Mart Bass Fishing League Great Lakes Division Super Tournament on the Mississippi River.
Ritter's two-day winning catch of 10 bass weighed 29 pounds, 2 ounces. He was throwing a Bronze Eye Frog around the edges of grass beds to catch his bass.
Rounding out the top five boaters are Thomas Boynton of LeClaire, Iowa (10 bass, 28 pounds, 1 ounces, $2,824); Douglas Stanton of Winona, Minn. (10 bass, 27 pounds, 9 ounces, $1,882); Dan Thill of LaCrosse, Wis. (10 bass, 27 pounds, 6 ounces, $1,318); and Mike Brueggen of Cashton, Wis. (10 bass, 26 pounds, 14 ounces, $1,130).
Brueggen also won the Boater Division Snickers Big Bass award with a 5-pound, 2-ounce bass that earned him an additional $750.
Richie Eaves of Nauvoo, Ill., took home $500 for being the highest-placing Ranger Cup participant.
Michael Syjud of Shorewood, Ill., earned $2,824 as the co-angler winner thanks to 10 bass weighing 23 pounds, 11 ounces that he caught on a Zoom Horny Toad thrown over submerged grass beds.
Rounding out the top five co-anglers are Al Kjos of LaCrosse, Wis. (10 bass, 23 pounds, 5 ounces, $1,412); Richard Conrad of Eau Claire, Wis. (10 bass, 23 pounds, 1 ounce, $940); Kent Keeshan of Bettendorf, Iowa (eight bass, 22 pounds, 11 ounces, $659); and Dave Knutstrom of Stronghurst, Ill. (eight bass, 19 pounds, 3 ounces, $565).
Kevin Anderson of Ettrick, Wis., earned $375 as the co-angler Snickers Big Bass winner with a 4-pound bass.
The top 40 Great Lakes Division boaters and 40 co-anglers, based on year-end points standings, will now advance to the no-entry-fee Fort Madison Regional Championship near Fort Madison, Iowa, Oct. 5-7, where they will compete against Illini, Michigan and Ozark division anglers for a new Ranger boat, as well as a Chevy truck in the Boater Division, plus six slots in the no-entry-fee 2007 Wal-Mart BFL All-American presented by Chevy. With a total purse of $1 million and a potential $140,000 cash going to the winning boater and $70,000 going to the winning co-angler, the All-American is one of the most prestigious and lucrative events in bass fishing.
The Boater Division points champion who advances the farthest at the All-American will earn $10,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points champion. The co-angler points champion who advances the farthest will earn $5,000 as the Yamaha "Be the Best" points champion in the Co-angler Division.

Dr. Conner graduated veterinary school from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000. After completing an internship at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, she moved back to her home state of Florida where she owned and managed a small animal hospital in Plant City.

Well, friends in Florida introduced her to the Bucksnort Trail Ride in 2005, and her heart has been in middle Tenneessee ever since. She and her husband, Royce Hinson, purchased a farm in McEwen six years ago while here for the trailride, and began putting together the dream of living in McEwen permanently.

Gilbert's Mesquite Junior High School was evacuated after a bomb threat Thursday that turned out to be a prank.
Sgt. Andrew Duncan, Gilbert police spokesman, said a parent called the school at 8:30 a.m. to tell authorities her 13-year-old son was going to bring his yearbook to show them a possible bomb threat written into it.
Duncan said someone had written "Bomb here" and placed an X on a photo of the auditorium.
At the time, all of the seventh-graders were in the auditorium.
The boy said he didn't know who wrote it, but an investigation by the school resource officer found a 13-year-old boy who did, Duncan said.
"He said that it was a prank," Duncan said. "We don't have any reason to believe there was a bomb in the school."
Gilbert Public Schools spokeswoman Dianne Bowers said school was scheduled to get out at 10 a.m., but the students were released at 9:30 a.m.
Duncan said investigators questioned the boy and will determine whether to submit charges to the county attorney.
Bowers said the school district will seek charges.

After reading everyones posts I wish we could all get together for a weekend of talk and relaxing. Seems like we all need it. At least we would all be able to relate to each other in one way or another. I am 42 and believed to be going through perimenopause. My whole life I have suffered from PMDD and I have been on a maintenance drug to help. If I didn't have that I'm not sure if I'd be here. Lately the meds don't seem to have enough oomph to counter the emotional rollercoaster. I also am only "myself" for maybe 2 weeks. Sure is tiring. I'm sure it is for my hubby also. He says he understands but I still need to remind him why I am acting certain ways when I do. My thoughts are all over the place. All 3 of my children are grown and live out of the house. So I wasn't quite sure if I am having empty nest syndrome or a mid-life crisis or just monthly hormonal craziness. Could it be a combo? Yipes ! Yes I have my own bedroom now and lately I have been daydreaming of taking a personal vacation somewhere far away with thoughts of not returning. Thoughts of "this is it in life" keep my head spinning wondering if I am indeed done. Glad to know there are a heck of a lot of other women out there with the same situation and not afraid to post the truth. Whew. Feel a little better just writing this down. Thanks for reading. ~Tina |

sounds great but it would probably turn out to be a long week end of more health talk. You would have to sign a pact, no health discussions. LOL Sometimes I have to get away from forums like this and I feel better when I do. Not necessarily this one but the step family, marriage and care givers forum was really hard on me when I was in their situation. I did stop posting and reading there for a long time. |
I use all natural yam based progesterone cream, pregnenolone and Lady's mantle tea to balance my hormone daily. I take organic dried Lady's mantle and brew my own tea, chill it, drinking two 6ounce cups a day, very tasty. Also, Oatstraw tea is a good one to calm your mind. Now I look younger and feel much happier. Check out books and publication by Dr. John Lee, Dr. Uzzi Reiss and Dr. Ray Peat. |

Medical Ninjutsu
Look, its already on the Strengthening Prescription: Chakra Injection page: "According to Yomi, this technique was a dark medical ninjutsu that his clan has spent generations to perfect just for the night of releasing Mōryō's spirit in the Land of Demons. " and since this technique is derived from that technique and it uses the chakra snakes made from that technique, I would classify it as a Medical ninjutsu, besides it's even said on the Medical ninjutsu page: "performing autopsies or surgeries, or attacking a person's body directly, deranging the target's nervous system or sending them into a comatose state by overriding their body with chakra". The same goes for Secret Anesthesia. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 06:01, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Moving into the BIOS, we've got the updated CLICK BIOS II which looks so much better than the original CLICK BIOS that we saw in the original UEFI designed boards. Moving through the BIOS is fairly simple and the chances are if you intend to do any overclocking, you'll want to be in the "Overclocking Settings" section.
Going through the BIOS, there's nothing that we haven't really seen from CLICK BIOS II before. Like we said, most of the stuff you'll want to do is in the OC area and we'll cover that in some more detail on the next page.

Markezinis Suites
In central Santorini, behind wooden gates off ancient Messaria's main square, a graceful terracotta estate that was formerly the residence of Greece's prime minister now serves as a posh, petite hideaway. Here, wide wooden halls lead to six parlor-style suites, all with plush white-on-white beds, soaring 12-foot ceilings, and a pastel color scheme that complements the light that floods in through oversize windows. Come sundown, smartly dressed travelers order chilled glasses of locally produced Assyrtiko on the villa's sunporch; then it's down to the subterranean bistro for white-skin eggplant and stewed sweet tomato. End the day with a sip of ouzo and the chef's sufficiently sweet, flaky souvlaki.
Room to Book:
Book one of the two cozy Markenzinis Suites, for a built-in Jacuzzi, hardwood floors, and original artwork on the walls.
Insider Tip:
Kiriakos Stamatis, the hotel's attentive general manager, will be happy to arrange a full-day cruise to nearby Caldera, including stop-offs on the famed red-and-white-sand beaches, hot springs, and volcano beds.

[325] Carotid Plaque Inflammation and Morphology Is Associated with Early Stroke Recurrence
Susan Prendeville, Michael Marnane, Aine Merwick, Orla Sheehan, Niamh Hannon, Tim Grant, Peter Kelly, Niall Mulligan. Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland; University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland
Background: Patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis (CS) have a high risk of stroke recurrence (SR), even within the recommended 14-day time window for endarterectomy. Inflammation has been implicated as a major driver of atherosclerosis progression and plaque destabilisation, however a direct relationship with SR has not been established. The aim of this study was to investigate histological plaque features associated with early SR pre-endarterectomy, in a cohort of patients with recently-symptomatic CS.
Design: Endarterectomy tissue from 44 consecutive patients with recent transient ischaemic attack, non-disabling ischaemic stroke, or retinal embolism was analysed using a validated system for grading plaque inflammation and morphology. All patients were followed prospectively for SR occurring pre-endarterectomy and not related to surgery.
Results: SR occurred in 27.3% of patients and was significantly associated with: carotid plaque macrophage and lymphocyte infiltration (p=0.002, p=0.009 respectively), extensive (>25%) fibrous cap disruption (p=0.004), neovascularisation (p=0.04) and low plaque fibrous tissue content (p=0.003). There was no association found for intraplaque haemorrhage, lipid-rich necrotic core size, plaque calcification, foam cell content or the American Heart Association morphologic plaque classification.
On life-table analysis, actuarial pre-endarterectomy SR rates were 82.3% (CI 49.2-98.8%, 11/23 patients) in patients with extensive plaque inflammation (Oxford Plaque Study [OPS] macrophage content grade ≥3) compared to 22.2% (CI 3.5-83.4%, 1/21 patients) in those with lesser degrees of inflammation (OPS macrophage content grade <3) (log-rank p=0.009). In a multivariable Cox regression model including plaque inflammation, age, and degree of CS, plaque inflammation was the only variable independently associated with pre-endarterectomy SR (adjusted HR 9, CI 1.1-70.6, p=0.04).
Conclusions: This study demonstrates for the first time that histologically proven plaque inflammation is an important predictor of early SR in recently symptomatic CS. Histological features of plaque instability such as intraplaque haemorrhage and lipid necrotic core size were not associated with early SR, which suggests a different plaque biology. Imaging technology, which can assess plaque inflammation in vivo, as well as biomarkers, may identify the subgroup of patients at high risk for early SR, independent of degree of stenosis, who can be targeted for early intervention.

I'm installing a wood stove, and it's a simple straight up to the ceiling from the stove. However a friend reccomended that I put a "z" bend in it above the stove, to help slow down the venting, and allow more heat to get out? Any opinions on this, as I was going to go straight up and throught the roof? Thanks AC |

May 21st, 2003
Lauren Dake
| News
A week after broadcasting a show in which he defecated on camera, Jim Spagg--host of Jim Spagg's Nude Scene
and Jim Spagg's Naked Truth--has been suspended from Portland Cable Access TV for a year. The official reason? Copyright infringement.
Nude, Lewd--and Screwed
Cable TV "naked guy" booted off the air.
Jim Spagg gets his plug pulled--again. |
"He simply took property and used it as his own, against our rules and federal law," says Carl Kucharski, PCA's executive director.
Spagg's antics have been the bane of local cable for more than 11 years. Unsuspecting channel surfers, pausing on one of the three channels that broadcast PCA, have often been accosted by Spagg's bouncing white buttocks as he dances around on stage, frequently invoking certain four-letter words. His swan song,
Jim Spagg's: The Show Where "It" Happened Before and "It" Will Happen Again, was first broadcast Feb. 19 and was pulled off the air Feb. 22. "I had my artistic reasons for taking a shit on camera," says Spagg.
But the material that got Spagg booted off the cable-access stage was not naked cavorting, but a videotape of a show produced by the Independent Producers Organization that Spagg taped and re-broadcast on his (fully-clothed) talk show from Jan. 15 to Feb. 2.
The segment consisted of testimony from different people commenting on the quality of PCA TV. "It looked like it could have been a public-service message to me," says Spagg, a plump, balding 64-year-old Danny DeVito look-alike.
Unfortunately for Spagg, the report was copyrighted material. (Last year he was also suspended, and then banished, from MCTV, Gresham's public-access channel, for copyright infringement.)
Spagg and his supporters suspect the copyright issue is just a fig leaf. "This is not the real reason they got rid of me," Spagg says.
Concerned citizens, politicians and parents alike have been trying to get the notorious naked man off their TV screens for years, but since Oregon's constitution rigorously protects freedom of speech, it's been difficult to accomplish.
"To me, his suspension is not justified," says Steve Ruljancich, a MCTV producer and friend of Spagg's. "Claiming copyright infringement from an in-house show done at PCA...is a minor infraction. They were looking for something to suspend him with for a long time; he's ruffled the feathers of the board...for years."
But PCA boss Kucharski insists that Spagg's suspension has nothing to do with his nude antics. To suggest anything else, he told
WW, "is complete nonsense."
Please sign-in
Please choose one of the following sign-in options:

PCA-TV is way out of line. I love watching his show. He's not afraid to push the limits and have some fun! Plus, it's great to see naked people on TV! (evens Spagg's old tool!) —Spagg lover!
05.22.2003 at 12:45
HOPEFULLY HE WILL NEVER SHOW HIS FAT DISGUSTING ASS ON THE AIR AGAIN! —Annalisa
05.26.2003 at 12:07
Spagg is gone...
Spagg was a great way for male teenagers to have free sexual video pleasure. Taking that away from a simple Portland boy is nonsense! They showed nude women, nude dancers, and of course, the fat Spagg, but boys get it where they can. —Tina
06.13.2006 at 10:00
Nude, Lewd--and ScrewedAnyone with anger or hate towards Jim clearly did not understand his ideas that sex is not dirty, and people are too busy and too serious. As he said many many times, if you don't like the show Quick! Turn the channel! It's so simple but people still like to get their pantys in a wad over it. He's a guy jumping around naked on TV and having a good time. Just because you are bitter and a blue blood, don't stop others from having fun, and don't stop us from enjoying that.

Recently following the launch of IPred in Europe, It was reported that, 18 percent jump in legal music sales. Now in Sweden, the Local is reporting that illegal file sharing is back in full force, reaching new record levels.
Because of the cutdown of the bittorrent traffic, it came down to 40%. In my opinion everyone might have given a try for the originals. But no matter what, they came back to the old ages, where get things "free" is considered better than pay and get the things.
This will be more clear when different companies' release their statistics. Anyway now streaming contents are getting more and more users. If you have good internet plan, why waste time and space by downloading the entire content, when you can watch it on the fly while its getting streamed.
"Spotify and the various television channels 'Play' sites haven't yet released their statistics. There is guaranteed to be certain increase in file sharing, but it isn't possible to tell exactly how much, Then you have the illegal video streaming sites, which aren't file sharing in the traditional sense, but which play the same role for users. Watching a movie via a streaming video directly in your web browser is becoming more and more popular."
Researcher Kristoffer Schollin Schollin said.
Kristoffer Schollin, Ph. D. intellectual property law, is post doc researcher and lecturer at the Department of Law and CIP – Center for Intellectual Property studies.
I think people of Sweden are not liking the laws which help Millionaires to become Billionaires.

I'm talking specifically about the Infinities comic series-es. For those unfamiliar with Infinities, there are three of them, each four issues long, and each one presenting a "What If?" scenario occurring in one of the Original Trilogy films. In the first one, a malfunction in Luke's proton torpedo launcher causes his shot to cripple, but not completely destroy the Death Star. In the second one, Han's tauntaun freezes before reaching the first marker, and Han is unable to save Luke. And so forth. These events drastically reshape the story from what fans know, while delving into otherwise unexplored potential of familiar characters. I think a Force Pack cycle that is themed around these alternate continuities would be cool to see at some point, especially since the tone of Star Wars: The Card Game so far seems to be about capturing those iconic moments found in the Original Trilogy in no particular order, moments which are by no means less memorable in the Infinities stories. In essence, you are creating your own Star Wars timeline with each match. Adding Dark Side Leia, et al to the mix would not hurt this IMO.
My question is, how would other people feel about an Infinities cycle? Do want? Do not want? Discuss.

QNAP TS-239 Pro Turbo
Article Author :
Date :
14th Aug 2009
Comments :
We took a look at the impressive QNAP TS-209 II Pro last year, a home/office sized NAS that provided plenty of features and became an essential part of a small office network. The QNAP TS-239 Pro is a next generation model based on the Intel Atom platform which includes even more features suited to an office environment (such as iSCSI). This NAS includes two drive bays (providing up to 4TB storage) and the unit size has been reduced substantially to a mere 214x175x115mm.
This little NAS includes a 1.6Ghz atom CPU, 1GB DDRII memory and two gigabit LAN ports which is much more powerful than many competing devices. Not only does this improve the performance of some elements (such as the PHP/MySQL server), but it ensures that a larger number of clients can use the NAS without performance degradation. Similar to other QNAP variants there are 12 primary functions which the NAS unit can perform:
File Server
FTP Server
Backup Server
Encrypted Remote Replication
Web Server
MySQL Server
Printer Server
UPnP Media Server
Image Files Backup
Download Station
iTunes Server
Surveillance Station
Installation and Setup
Getting the NAS up and running is as simple as loading the drive caddies with a SATA HDD, attaching the power adapter and connecting a network cable to a router. Everything apart from two hard drives is included in the TS-239 Pro Turbo box, so it takes very little time to complete the installation procedure.
Box Contents
The unit design is simple and effective, with the front of the unit including 4 status LEDs (HDD1&2, LAN and eSATA activity). Underneath these are a USB port and 2 buttons, one to turn the unit on/off and another one touch copy button to initiate quick USB transfers (which you can configure in the NAS setup menu):
TS-239 Pro Turbo
The drive caddies are simple drive trays that require 4 screws to secure a SATA HDD in place. Once this is done, it can be pushed back in to the NAS unit and locked in place. Some other NAS units dont include a way to secure drives in place, so this is a welcome addition.
The rear of the unit has a power socket, 2 x eSATA ports, 2 x LAN ports, 2 x USB ports, a K-lock slot and most interestingly of all a VGA port (more on this later):
Rear of NAS
Once you have set up the hardware side of things, just turn the unit on and browse to the web-admin page to begin the configuration. It is often easiest to use the QNAP software the first time you connect to the unit, as it will open the web-administration panel so you can begin the configuration process. The very first time you connect to the NAS with a new pair of HDDs, you will need to format them and configure your RAID setup (if used). Should you desire, contents of the drive can be encrypted via 256-bit AES security.

With WDW expanding so far beyond what it was in 1971, the days being able to "do it all" in just a couple of days are long gone. However, since money doesn't grow on trees (does it?), and many people have to go to work/school, we can't always stay at WDW as long as we like.
So, the question and poll is: How you are your WDW vacations?

SHILLONG: Clad in a 'mekhela-chador', Sabita Das said she would "show off" her ethnicwear during Durga Puja this year. The senior citizen has bought 'jainsems' and 'dakmandas', Khasi and Garo outfits for women respectively, not only for herself but also as gifts for friends and family members.
"I have bought elegant 'jainsems' for my self and my daughter-in-law and a beautiful 'dakmanda' for my daughter," she said. "Durga is always draped in a sari, which is a traditional outfit. I feel that one should wear ethnic clothes during festivals," said Sabita.
On the other hand, Sujata, a young housewife, is all excited to try on her first-ever 'jainsem'. "I have been wearing saris and salwar kameezes for years now and it's time I tried the Khasi costume jainsem," she said. "I will wear a dhoti on Ashtami," Sujata's husband Deep said.
Shillong has always been a harmonious mix of diverse communities and culture, said a student. "Believing in oneness of humanity by transcending all narrow outlooks is the true religion. We believe that festivals do not belong to any particular community but to all," the student said.
In fact, Pujas in Meghalaya, which is home to one of the oldest Durga temples in the country at Nartiang, has always involved people from all social backgrounds.
"Festivals do not belong to any particular caste, religion or community, but belong to everyone," said a senior member of the Central Puja Committee, which oversees the smooth conduct of one of the biggest festivals, in Meghalaya.

Hi everyone.
I'm doing a kitchen remodel, and am considering this Verona VEFSGG365D 36" double oven gas range. My main criteria is the ability to bake two things at different temperatures simultaneously, and the fact that for 99% of my cooking/baking needs, a full-size oven is not needed. I'm thinking the smaller ovens would use less energy and heat up faster. But I have two concerns: 1) I have heard next to nothing about this brand, and 2) I don't know if the specs on the ovens seem too low, btu-wise: 13K and 9K. Maybe it's okay, since the ovens are small. Here are the specs: I would very much appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you so much!
Base Price $3,469.00
Electrical Requirements:
304 Stainless Steel*
Cooktop Features:
Broiler power: 8,500
Cast iron wok ring
Island trim (optional - sold separately)
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi Luvhome, Your search sounds like mine: 2 ovens, but not 2 full-sized ovens. Like you, we want the flexibility to cook two things at different temperatures -- and have the extra cooking space for large gatherings. What have you learned about the Verona? It seems to meet my needs, but I'd like to know more. |
- Posted by Suzanne(firstname.lastname@example.com) onSat, Jul 9, 11 at 20:33
Hi. Have you learned anything about this range? I also am interested in it but have not been able to find any info from people who actually have it. Have you had any luck? |
I considered this but felt that 2 small ovens would not fit our needs. 18" ovens are very small. |
I'm also considering this. Here's the manufacturer's link: http://www.veronaappliances.com/productdetailspage.php?pid=339 Anyone have any experience with this model or brand? Thanks! |
I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if the range is made for Verona by Fisher & Paykel (or vice versa) The manuals for the Fisher Paykel: http://www.fisherpaykel.com//admin/pdfs/pdf_usecares/599397AOR36LDBGXugmUSCAw.pdf and Verona: http://eurochefusa.com/photos/p/660.pdf are pretty much identical. So apart from the controls, styling and colors, I would bet that the two function pretty much the same. There are several reviews of the FP on AJMadison's site. |
Oops-- it appears that the oven for the Verona is electric and the FP's oven is gas. So not the same model-- but perhaps the same cooktop. |
I considered this also but ovens too small. |
Does anyone have this Verona double oven? I just bought one on a whim which is very unlike me. Verona VEFSGG365D 36" double oven gas range. |

Dilly, I don't have one but would love a report once you've used it! |

Two too small ovens means you can't cook anything large. No turkeys, only chickens. BTU's are too low to get a good sear. No good stir frys. It's all about looks, not function. You can get higher BTU's and two ovens in a 30" GE range. $2159 on sale at HD Or there's the $3059 Cafe with the smaller oven on top and the controls on the front. |
Was wondering about the few who mentioned they bought this Verona- posted last year-- any updates? love it? hate it? I'm shopping for a dual fuel range and the Verona meets my depth limitation of 25". Thanks for any info! |
Eurostoves, (Trevor) carries the Verona Stoves. Nobody better than Trevor to give you "Factual Information" about the Veronas. To me , the stove seems a bit "Anemic", the burners and especially the broiler. That is really a low output for a broiler and indeed it may set the record for a low power broiler but maybe you can simmer on it? Here's the Link to Eurostoves and the Verona. |

AGA has an oven which you can divide in two. Sounds rare, but interesting |
Hi: I am also considering the Verona now. Verona makes a Single Oven Model too. I like the idea of 2 ovens, but want to be able to fit larger pans or cookie sheets: 36" Pro-style, Model VEFSGEL65S Dual Fuel Range, which looks like the professional ranges. I actually like the looks of it a little better. I asked a local store about it. they said it was a good range, but they are selling it. There isn't much written about it on line. Does anyone have one to give a review? |
Dilly_NY how are you liking your Verona dual oven? I'm at that same decision point. Considered all the others and want two ovens without having to lift a turkey off the floor (the GE Cafe/Maytag/Whirlpool/Kitchen-Aid stacked ovens)! Have considered the dual fuel Cafe that puts a full-sz oven above a warming drawer that will cook (up to 450 degrees) but then I saw this Verona... but can't find a review to get a feel for how it performs in the home. |

Also considering this range....but there is a lack of consumer information! Definitely worried about the size of the ovens and the low BTUs. |
- Posted by westsider40 (My Page) on Fri, Sep 13, 13 at 17:34
You should also consider the slow preheat for baking. Electric ovens often have a fast preheat feature. It depends on how long you want to heat your ovens before you can use them for baking. Fast preheat is important to me. One of many features of import. Even baking. Convection bake, convection broil, convection roast. Good, powerful broiler. Cool outside oven. Good insulation will heat up your kitchen less. Self clean. |

im curious as to whether any more information on verona 36 inch range is out there. has anyone purchased one? |
I'm also curious. About to pull the trigger on my range. |
Hi everyone, I'm looking at this oven. What did you choose for the backsplash? I'm told I can choose the island trim even though it's not in an island and it will be flush in the back. That looks better to me. Or we can choose the 8" backspash - more practical but won't look as good. They are telling me the other trims will increase the depth by 1 7/8". Not good. This is confusing. Can anyone shed some light on the trims? Thanks! |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Balkans is a new development. Read her comment on Croatia, even that

EU must 'consolidate' before further enlargement, Merkel says
Today @ 09:23 CET
The EU needs to "consolidate" before enlarging any further, German
Chancellor Angela Merkel has said in what is the latest blow to
countries hoping to join the bloc any time soon.
Commenting on western Balkan countries' fears that their EU ambitions
are slowly being pushed far into the future, Ms Merkel said: "We don't
want this, but no one is well served in a Europe that can't keep up
with integration and takes on too many new members too quickly."
"Therefore, we say that we have Croatia and its accession talks in our
sights. But we must also first see that, with the Lisbon treaty, we
hopefully get a certain consolidation phase in terms of integration,"
she added in a speech on Europe to members of her conservative
Christian Democrat party (CDU) in Berlin, Reuters reports.
Ms Merkel's comments come amid an already gloomy situation for EU
Uncertainty over the EU's Lisbon treaty has diminished the willingness
to see new countries let in not only in Germany, but also in other
member states, notably France.
Additionally, the financial crisis has stolen the attention of leaders
from EU enlargement concerns, and the western Balkans' own situation
does not make matters easier.
Croatia is expected to end EU membership negotiations by the end of
this year - although this timeline has come into question due to a
blockage of the talks by Slovenia in a border row between the two
Turkey's accession talks have been advancing slowly, while the third
EU candidate, Macedonia, has failed to even begin such talks for more
than three years because of a Greek veto in a dispute over the former
Yugoslav country's name.
Montenegro filed an application to join the bloc last December, but EU
member states have been reluctant ever since to take the next step by
passing this application for assessment to the European Commission.
Any assessment result is unlikely before some time next year.
The other western Balkan countries are even further down the line.
Serbia and Albania are expected to submit their requests to join the
EU some time in the next few months, while Bosnia and Herzegovina's
internal problems have slowed its reforms and EU integration process.
Disagreement among EU members over Kosovo's status makes it unlikely
for Pristina to progress much towards the EU in the near future.
UK making the case for enlargement
Some EU countries, however, have warned against the trend of stopping
the bloc's expansion, with the UK in particular speaking strongly in
favour of keeping momentum going.
"We must re-energise our relations with our neighbours because this
[financial] crisis has shown very clearly how exposed we are to
problems beyond our borders," British foreigh secretary David Miliband
wrote in a comment for Polish daily Gazeta Wyborcza on Monday.
"Whatever the temptations, we cannot afford to turn inwards," he
Well beyond the Balkans - where "the offer of EU membership is also
critical to overcoming the nationalist politics and ethnic divisions,"
there are also other neighbours the 27-nation bloc should one day
consider for accession.
"Beyond these [Balkan] countries, there are others - Iceland or
Ukraine for instance - for which we must keep open the prospects of
membership," said Mr Miliband.

i've begun re-painting my boys' rooms, removing the popcorn, etc. there is old (a few years) latex paint here & there, on the window frames, baseboards, etc. the window frames are dark & the baseboards are as well(stained wood).
how can i get this old latex off? some appears to be smeared, like it was wiped when wet, but not all came off, some is as it must've been when it first got there. thanks!! |

"Goof-Off" You can buy it at any hardware store or Walmart type place. |
is goof-off the same or similar to goo-gone? is it an oily citrus-y smelling liquid? that stuff is amazing! |
- Posted by bus_driver (My Page) on Sat, Jul 1, 06 at 17:28
If the Goof Off damages the finish on the stained wood, 409 cleaner may get the latex off combined with some scrubbing with a rag. The 409 does not harm clear finishes very much nor very fast. |
- Posted by dainaadele (My Page) on Mon, Jul 3, 06 at 9:05
Vinegar or ammonia, I can't remember which, will soften the latex really nice so you can scrub it off. A painter taught me that trick when I tried to take off 10 year old splatters on a stairway. No damage to the finish either. The only thing is I can't remember which one it was. :( I think it was the vinegar, but you can test a small spot first. I put it in a spray bottle and did a whole set of stairs that way. |
rubbing alcohol |
Goof-off is xylene in a small can at a high price. You can try alchohol (rubbing or denatured), ammonia (look for something from a janitor supply place), or xylene. Xylene destroys the latex, but is flammable and rather smelly (think permanent markers). A solvent like xylene wil be easier on the wood than a water based mixture, but test carefully to find out how much besides the paint is going to come off. New wood is often a better option than a lot of solvents and hand work (that spreads junk all over and adds to the clean up). |
What will latex paint off of carpet without discoloring the carpet? It's berber. Thanks. |
Most carpets are colors are not affected by xylene. Test first. |
I bought some cabinet refinishing stuff, years ago, called QRB. It removes all kinds of paints. Just melts it off. You just wipe it on, let it sit and wipe it off. Removes old varnish, too. |
"Removes old varnish, too." It may contain methylene chloride sionce there are no solvents for most varnishes. The polymerization reaction is 'one way' and the original solvent will not typically reverse it. |

Review Details
TR4000i Folding Treadmill
- Product Review (submitted on July 15, 2013):
I will try to keep this review as straight to the point and concise as possible.
This is a great treadmill for the money. Here are a few quick pros about the unit:
1. Unit is very sturdy
2. Quality build and easy to assemble
3. Powerful motor
4. Fitness club look and feel
5. Very quiet motor, incline and running surface
6. Easy to read display (not loaded with gimmics that don't work)
7. 60" running surface (4000i model)
The list can go on, but this covers the most important aspects of it. This unit is heavy, but that isn't a bad thing. The run on this treadmill feels comparable to that of the $6,000 Life Fitness units we used at the fitness club I managed. Do yourself a favor; spring for the 4000i if you can. The metal side rails are a high-end finish and the 60" running board is a must if you are over 5'10". I am 6'2" 210 lbs and I wouldn't have had such a good experience with a 54" running surface. It requires only 72" of clearance from front to back.
Whether you are a fitness novice or a fitness enthusiast, take a very serious look at this model. It wins awards for a reason and has a lifetime frame/motor warranty. Well worth the piece of mind in my opinion.

2007 GMC Envoy Denali
I've seen a lot of posts in this forum complaining about the Envoys and very few complimentary posts.
I leased my Envoy in Sept. 2007 and have since put about 8,000 miles on it. I'm very happy with it. It's quiet, handles like a sports car, stops on a dime, has plenty of power and the gas milage is good considering how it is driven.
Anyone else enjoying their Envoy?

40yearfan Posts: 97I don't think there is a drainhole (I have the same exact model) in that litte well that sits under your lid. If someone got water in there, it would probably not get out until it all evaporated. Depending on how much liquid was spilled in there, it could take some time.
I don't know how water could be splashed into the compartment without have a major hole that would be noticeable. I doubt that would be the problem. -

praiz2him Posts: 1I purchased a 2007 Envoy Denali in Nov. 2008, 26000. I now have 51000. It's a good riding SUV and I really like it. My problelm is with that my rear suspension has lowered way down and when I called a GMC shop to ask about it, the customer care rep told me I would have to replace the rear airbags????? at a cost of $2800!!!! - I told him he must be kidding!!! I am making a car note and this repair is rediculous!! I'm taking it to the shop this morning to see what a Technician says.
Anyone have any suggestions!!!!!! Thanks, Rose -
tireguy Posts: 196I really don't like the air suspension on the Envoy. Mine runs all the time, well, not all the time, but way too often. And the pump is so darn loud, it's kind of embarrassing when it happens in town next to pedestrians, like my truck just farted. I wonder how hard it would be to convert it to a coil spring setup with trailblazer parts.
Other than that i do like the truck. I have a 2007 4x4. I love the V8. If it had 3.73s it would be an absolute hot rod, but with the 3.42s it moves along better than most. It's a beautiful vehicle, especially in black. It's a little cramped inside, but comfortable. I don't really understand why the dash has to be so bulky, just like the S15 Jimmys which preceded it. -
berrygirlgwen Posts: 1Rose,
I know it's been awhile since you posted but I just wanted to say that I just had to pay over $1,000 to GMC for the exact same problem. I have a 2007 Envoy Denali with about 40K miles on it. It began sagging in the back and so I took it in and they said that the rear air bags were "cut" somehow?? I immediately asked if they meant someone had done it and they said "no, it was probably just that one got cut somehow and affected the other" or some BS like that. I couldn't believe how ridiculous it was but of course had no choice but to have it fixed. I'd like to know how many others have been affected by this same problem. They shouldn't get away with these things. They always manage to happen JUST when the vehicle goes out of warranty too. It's obviously a problem with the way THEY made these vehicles, not a coincidence. This is a relatively new vehicle. There should be no major repairs to pay for before 100K miles. It's no wonder I've always bought foreign cars before this. I was trying to get out cheaper but it looks like I may not in the long run, with them pulling crap like this. -
jbegood Posts: 1I just noticed last week I had some stains on the headliner of my 2007 GMC Denali (only 42K miles on it) and contacted the dealership. My daughters seatbelt was wet when I discovered this. I am not prepared to spend this kind of money to have this repaired. I am prepared to take this to the sales person whom sold me this vehicle. I hope it's only the drain that needs repair and not the whole entire job. The toyota and Kia vehicles I have had over the past 15 years HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM!!!!

thezarb Posts: 1I have the same problems that you all have on my 2007 Saab 9-7x. I live in a GM town (Lansing, MI). Nearly every time I'm at stoplight I see another Envoy, Trailblazer, Buick or Olds equivalent, or 9-7x sagging to one side. It is a shame that GM has not done anything to fix this issue. It is a blatant error on their part, and a poor display of their product! In addition to the horribly designed, sagging air-suspension, my Stabilitrak activates almost every time I enter the expressway using a circular on-ramp. This cuts the throttle making it nearly impossible to accelerate and merge into traffic. This "truck" is to the point that it is unsafe to drive. Just like the Envoy and Trailblazer, my Saab is GM's poor attempt at a luxury SUV. Can anyone offer guidance on how to resolve these issues with GM? Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to post your experience. I apologize for your frustrations. Have you spoke with GM Customer Assistance?

rcrash31 Posts: 1I also own Envoy Denali (06) with sagging rear suspension problem. I have been a GM owner for last 4 vehicles and somewhat mechanically inclined. The last 2 visits to GMC dealers have not gone well. I would like to know if GM has some kind of customer service help for possible recall. The rear suspension works fine one day and will sag the next which is a safty issue that needs to be corrected...

simpson07 Posts: 1I have a 07 Envoy Denali and I am scared of this thing! I have owned it for 19 months and I have had nothing but trouble from it since the 1st month! I have had numerous issues but the main problem has been repeated issues with the rear end and once again the issue has started and this time my warranty is expired. Dealer says there is nothing they can do for me now, Factory warranty, extended warranty and Dealer warranty recently expired. I am so sick of this thing breaking down!!!
It starts with the service stabilitrak light coming on and then within minutes from the light coming on a loud thumping noise will start coming from the rear end and then it acts like it doesnt want to move forward.
Worst vehicle I have ever owned and so disappointed!!! -
gmcustsvcsarah Posts: 1,964Good morning simpson07,

hdman2005 Posts: 1Like everyone else I too have this issue on my 2007 Envoy Denali. I vetted this issue with a spray bottle of soapy water and found that the part of the air ride bag that collapses on itself due to a lack of air causes a breakdown in the rubber thus creating cracks in it. My repair guy says that this is partly due to dirt and debris tearing into the rubber as the bag collapses. I say a contributing factor is the design. Unless there is a leak why would the air escape? Now I am looking at several hundred dollars in repair. Additionally I understand that the duty cycle on the compressor is only 20%. It comes on every time I start my SUV. My biggest concern is the possible replacement of it!! Is there a recall or assistance that GM can provide? I really like my vehicle but such issues will not keep me a lifelong customer!

2007envoytl Posts: 2I have a 2007 GMC Envoy Denali and it also has the sagging suspensions and the compessor os working overtime to keep it up my wife and kids drive this car we do not have 1000 or more to put air bags or tubes etc. We need to know what GM is gong to do about this obvious design flaw that has by my count affected THOUSANDS of vehicles. I have not taken to dealer yet I am sure this would be a 1200 fix. The owners that have has this issue have been loyal chevy and GM owners to shell out what we paid for thse suvs and to have them sag down like a jalopy like that is unsafe and how this has not resulted in a recall I do not know.
2007envoytl Posts: 2Suspension sagging constantly working compressor. Need to know what GM is going to do about this it has affected thousands of vehicles, the truck is undrivable and unsafe in such a condition I wonder if any accidents have been caused by this?

ktabares Posts: 1I also have a sagging suspension problem with my 2007 GMC Envoy Denali. It can be hot or cold outside or sit for 15 minutes or all night and it never fails, I'll find it sagging in the rear. Obviously, by all the comments that I have seen on the internet this has been a bad problem for GMC. I also do believe that this should have been a recall. My Envoy has less than 80K on it and can't believe that it is already having problems like this! I have a MAP (vehicle service contract) and plan to have it looked at, hopefully this issue it covered by the warranty. :mad:
ckarhoff Posts: 1I have recently purchased a 2007 GMC Envoy and am very dissatisfied with it have have spend over $1,400.00 in repairs and it still is not fixed yet my brakes keep locking up as I drive down the road which is very unsafe !!! I have had it to a GM dealer and still not fixed changed out the front and back rotors , brake pads, vacumm brake booster, flex lines in the front and the master cylinder I have only had this vehicle for a little over 11 months .I also purchased a Marathon group warranty and am told nothing is covered so there goes another $1,250.00 DOWN THE DRAIN I would not recommend this vehicle to anyone !

Parsley that is. Nothing wrong with the people. Unless you count making food that is just too damned good... but I digress.
My problem is with my potted Italian Parsley. As seen here: Is this a case of not enough water, two much water, too much sun, not enough sun, wanting something added to it's soil or just generally ticked that it is still in a pot?. What? In this picture it is sitting in a semi-sheltered area as Isaac moves through, so it is getting some rain at the moment, but not enough to flood the pot faster than it drains. On 'normal' days, it is sitting in a sunnier location. On the drier days with the sun beating down on it from about 8am to 2 pm, it will sulk until I give it some water and then it will perk right up. But checking the soil before watering, it feels relatively damp. Which leaves me to wonder, is it the water that's making it recover or is it the lowering of root temps (though, putting my hand on the pot, it does not feel particularly warm). Am I feeding one problem while stopping another? Or is the issue something else entirely? Thank you for any help coming! |
Follow-Up Postings:
It doesn't actually look too bad for a potted parsley plant in late summer. They will always get some yellow leaves. Parsley is native to temperate climates with plenty of rain so keeping it in full sun in Florida is probably not the best strategy. Your next sowing would be happier in the ground or a larger pot so its tap root is cooler and not restricted and it is not reliant on you for food and water. There is no point in trying to transplant this plant as parsley does not take kindly to it. |
You have an Italian parsley alive in this heat? It's the air temps that it can't tolerate. I grow it nearly every year, and as soon as it warms up (grown in the ground), it goes to seed and that's it. Congratulations! |
- Posted by Leekle2ManE Lady Lake, FL 9a (My Page) on Mon, Aug 27, 12 at 20:47
Umm... thanks... I guess. When I first got it, I was told in these forums that it would be fine in Florida weather (though it was heavily suggested that I put it in the ground at the time...), so it didn't occur to me that it would be ambient air temps that it wasn't happy with. Should I move it into the lanai to provide it with more stable shade and filtered afternoon sun or just let it ride out the rest of the summer in it's 'morning sun' spot? |
