hi appliance experts, i was wondering if any of you have experienced this issue with the instahot water. I have the stainless steel quick n hot model made by anaheim. It has had this issue where if i turn the temp setting to max, I get sputtering and hot water flowing out of it on and off all day long. if I turn down the temp then i don't get this issue. however, I would like to have the water as hot as possible. is this by defect or a design? anyone else experience this? any solutions? |

I have the same issue with my Waterstone insta hot. The steam and pressure just need to escape, I guess. I try to keep it right below the level where it will sputter. |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Wed, Oct 23, 13 at 18:00
nycbluedevil, thanks for your feedback. I am glad to know i am not the only one with this issue. I guess it is not defective then. just wish i could turn the temp up to max though! i will let you know if i find any other solutions other than turning down the temp. |
Mine had that issue when first installed--it had been damaged by the GC not following instructions and running it dry or something. Are you sure yours is supposed to do that? I would definitely contact the manufacturer. Insinkerator CS walked me through a bunch of potential fixes (on a Saturday!) before sending a repair guy with a replacement. Not impressed with my GC. Very impressed with Insinkerator. Anyway, Insinkerator did NOT think sputtering was acceptable. |
- Posted by nycbluedevil (My Page) on Thu, Oct 24, 13 at 20:59
Just checked mine with an instant read thermometer. Water is 186 degrees. I don't think it needs to be hotter. HAve you checked yours? |
- Posted by michoumonster (My Page) on Sun, Oct 27, 13 at 1:31
fori, sounds like we had the same GC, lol! i definitely don't trust my GC's install. i will try to call anaheim manufacturing and see if they can help me troubleshoot. hopefully they will have as good customer service as insinkerator. keeping fingers crossed... nycbluedevil, i didnt check my temp, but DH thinks it is not hot enough to make his french press coffee. i do find it a tad cool for my teas as well. since i add milk to my tea, i like the tea water to start off hotter. |
It is very common with these things. I have three of them in different houses, and they all do it. All were installed by different people and have different faucets. Monster - sounds like you have a perception issue. Get a sticker that says Max on it and place it to line up with the arrow on the knob at the point at which it doesn't sputter. Voila ! It's now at the hottest it can possibly be - with out sputtering. Anything else is just semantics since the hottest water can be is at he point it turns to steam , and thats not going to be of much value to you. |
- Posted by kitchenobsessed (My Page) on Sat, Nov 2, 13 at 21:12
Mine does this all the time because I like it hot. Be forewarned that the unit may not last as long when you crank it up. Be sure to rinse out your coffee maker and warm up your tea and coffee cups with water from the instahot; it helps with the cool down issue. Just as hot water in the washer can substitute for more chemicals (detergent), the instahot is great for cleaning, esp. with a miracle cloth. We use it to soak dirty cookware. |

Lets take a look inside Sonoran Suites Golf Vacation Lodging Rentals. There is always something reassuring about knowing that when you take a "Golf Vacation" to Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, San Diego, Palm Springs or Mesquite, that you are truly on a Golf Vacation, next to or near a Golf Course and steps away from pools, tennis courts and most importantly, when it's time, your bed. Let's face it; we all have been to what would be considered an abysmal hotel, full of its vast amounts of flaws, stenches or stains. We all know the hotels, in fact, we are betting, that while you are reading this you are thinking of a vacation you have taken where you have literally been so disgusted that you refused to stay even one night there. There is a very explicit reason why we, of all companies, would be resonating that sour taste in your mouth and bring up past negative experiences.
We invite you to take a moment and step back, rewind our minds back to the day when there was real "customer service". When we would recall when there was no "www dot" or quite frankly "blogs", but here we are. Businesses have lost the customer service ideals, friendly surroundings, and are always wanting things to go faster than they already do. We become caught up in the daily ailments in life that are thrown at us and forget what really matters. We sometimes even forget if we are really on that "dream vacation". Sonoran Suites wants to help bring all of that back for you and you deserve it. We know the importance of word-of-mouth advertising and we're betting that after taking online one Golf Vacation Package with us that you will tell your family, friends or your corporation about the difference between a "just a number" vacation provider and Sonoran Suites (Your Premier Vacation Rental & Golf Package Provider since 1997).
Sonoran Suites welcomes you to spend time at one of our vacation rental condos, enjoy that crisp, clean, rejuvenating, accommodating, all-inclusive, how it should feel, feeling. Our Sonoran Suites Golf Vacation Rental Condos will help you relive the way that it truly should be on any real Golf Vacation, all while maintaining affordable costs that could be compared to most hotels in the same area you are staying. Our condos are available in several golf destination locations such as Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, San Diego, Palm Springs & Mesquite . They include many amenities that hotels could not fathom offering you; like a complete Kitchen (including the main utensils), Washer & Dryer, completely furnished 2 or 3 Bedrooms, fully furnished living rooms (with flat screen TV's), furnished dining room complete with kitchen table & chairs. Connect to our FREE Wi-Fi or for a leisurely stay-in, breathe a breath of fresh air, because we also provide each accommodation with a covered outdoor patio/balcony with 4 chairs & table. See our images below!
Aside from all of the other online Lodging providers, Sonoran Suites offers only the best living amenities for any length Golf Vacation. We are available for you when you need us. Sonoran Suites helps plan your complete Golf Vacation from start to end, from finding the perfect course, to getting the right tee-times. You can enjoy all of these incredible benefits for amazing prices with the Sonoran Suites "Customer Service is Number 1" mentality. When you have made the decision to book a quality Golf Vacation, book with the best in the business since 1997 and put your trust in Sonoran Suites. Call us today at (888) 786-7848 and speak to one of our Golf Vacation Package Specialists or take a look at our destinations today: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, San Diego, Palm Springs or Mesquite .

Update: The videos have been removed "as a violation of YouTube's policy against spam, scams and commercially deceptive content".
Original story: UK dating site Shag a Gamer has launched a series of videos to help "virgin gamers" bolster their sexual experience - and they're only slightly less painful than kidney stones.
According to the dating site and its less promiscuous sister outfit, Date a Gamer, over a third of participants in its gaming community poll (184 out of 500) are virgins.
With the help of its tutorial videos - hosted by "busty blondes and brunettes" - Shag a Gamer hopes to provide these neglected "randy geeks" with "tips and tricks they can use to schmooze the ladies (and lads) and enjoy more dating success."
As hostess Jess so eloquently sums up: "At the end of the day, a woman has needs - sexual needs - and I'm just looking for someone to overload my buffer."

A Blogging Framework For Success
Author: davergal | Filed under: Blogging, DG Posts, Social Media | 7 Comments »Tweet
Quick note: This is not intended to be a blogging "How-To" post, but a blog scheduling framework.
With the holidays now gone, most of us are putting our plans into action. One of my personal resolutions for this year was to create a framework where I can become more diligent with my blog writing and have a consistent rhythm. I've always been passionate about blogging, but I will admit that I sometimes lack the structure and consistency needed.
So I've created a blogging editorial framework (seen below) that I would like to share with you. It was inspired by three excellent articles by PushingSocial and Problogger (referenced below). If you find it challenging to remain consistent when blogging, then this spreadsheet should help you stay on track.
Click here to Access, then on file, then download Excel.
A Quick Breakdown
Post Styles
In the first column I've included a section outlining some suggested blogging styles. When discovering new topics to blog about, it can be easy to fall into a writer's block, so these suggestions are placed front and center. There are many different styles that you can use for blog posts, and not all posts are created equal.For example, Monday's are routinely a busier day for me, so creating a short video post is more attainable than writing a lengthy one. On Friday's, a link roundup is ideal because throughout the week I tend to discover awesome articles and resources that I like to share with other. An excellent example of how to do great link roundups, check out some of Kristi Hines (@kikolani) mashups on Kikolani.com.
Time Outlines
I've assigned a blogging style for each day of the week to help keep it fresh. You may not have an aggressive goal of blogging five times a week, or may want to rearrange them based on your objectives, so feel free to swap out those that you'd like to change or don't want.
I've also broken it down into four weeks, with each month of the year included within the one spreadsheet tab. This makes it easier to plan long term while still getting the "big picture". For example, you may want to hold a blogging contest similar to Unbounce's 2011 Conversion Fest. The beauty of having your entire year in front of you is that you can plan properly without having to spend time flipping back and forth through multiple tabs.
And finally, here are some additional resources that I've mentioned about and found to be helpful when creating this scheduling framework:
1. How to Build a Blog Editorial Calendar Even If You Don't Know Where to Start - Pushing Social
2. Develop an Editorial Calendar for Your Blog - Problogger
3. Come up with 10 Post Ideas - Problogger
Please leave a comment below if you feel this has been helpful to you! Also, if you wish to distribute and share this, please do so. My only request is that you keep my information at the top of the spreadsheet. Although, if you intend to use this for a client, don't hesitate to remove it.
Happy blogging!

Having a lot of trouble with subject clutch.
If the two screws holding the clutch "arms" are too tight the clutch won't close. If loose enough for the arms to close, the whole thing shakes loose. Any advise appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Please share a close picture showing the matter. Sounds like a lack of locking with lock-tight or etc. I just disassembled a locked-up trimmer to see why. Every bolt had to be twisted at least .25" and you could see signs of lock-tight, torquing bolts that all seemed excessive. When vibration is a known matter, there has to be some type of restrictions. Good Luck! |

I have read that one can get a very good compost by simply using only alternately layered sections of grass clippings and leaves. Apparently grass clippings and cow manure have the same nitrogen content. Has anyone tried this?
Here in the north the gathering scenario will be....rake and bag scads of leaves.... overwinter them in their plastic condoms and then as you mow your lawn in the spring to get your grass clippings you then begin the composting and in six weeks or so you can harvest fine compost. Sure sounds easy enough.... I also wonder if one should sprinkle a thin layer of soil too? Any thoughts appreciated...Ron |

Ron, there is a wonderful Compost forum here at the GW, check it out, those folks are experts when it comes to composting. Yes, adding a shovel full of soil will speed up the process ;) |
Here is a link that might be useful: Compost Forum
Every fall, I rake most of my leaves into a large chickenwire bin, and in spring, add the ones that mulch my beds. Usually, melting snow is enough water to get things going, but if not, a good hosing down is usually enough. Often, things get so hot in there I can't stick my hand in for more than a second or two without fear of getting cooked. I get in with my rubber boots 2 or 3 times a summer and with much sweating, fork it over, but the result in fall is a large black pile of (mostly) composted leaves, which over the years, have turned my clay garden into actual soil. Go for it. |
Thanks,Jon....good stuff from Saskatchewanscapes....lol.... your hot corral of leaf mold sounds like a potential haven of relief for arthritic gardeneers to dive into...lol How long does your process take from start to finish? Ron |
Composting leaves is a good idea, but the best thing you can do with grass clippings is leave them on the lawn. The clippings will quickly decompose on the lawn and provide nutrients to the lawn as well as provide shade to the roots and help hold moisture. By leaving grass clippings on the lawn, you can reduce your fertilizer use by 25%. Vegetable waste from the kitchen can be composted along with the leaves. To compost, you need alternate layers of brown and green, the brown is dried matter like dead leaves, prunings, soil and the green is, well, green, like fresh leaves, kitchen waste, grass, pulled weeds etc. |
If you put weeds in your compost dont you get more weeds later? |
That's the one good thing about fall. I'll let my grass get a little long just before the leaves drop. Once the leaves are down, I cut the grass and mulch the leaves at the same time. All this goes in the garden for the winter and by spring I have some nice compost to work in just in time for planting. |
- Posted by homebasics (My Page) on Wed, Jun 4, 08 at 4:56
Like Crazy Gardener said there's tons of good tips here. Here's a link to our site that spells out composting in a simple A to Z manner. Hope it helps as well. |
Here is a link that might be useful: A to Z of Composting
Some people say you can't get good home-grown compost in our Zone 3b climate. Some say you can't compost using the black plastic earth machine type composters. I get the best compost by layering new spring grass cuttings with leaves held over from last fall. I mix the layers as I build the pile. This gives me enough material to completely fill several of the black plastic earth machine type composters. High temps are achieved, and within a week, the mass has depleted by 50% volume. At this point we load up the layers again, and again until the composter is full. A shovel full of garden soil containing many of the local microbes speeds the process. Or add a shovel full of manure. After the first few mowings, we leave the mulched grass clippings on the lawn. This should cut your chemical fertilizing by 100%. For the rest of the season, we layer slowly as materials accumulate, including coffee grounds, vegetable parings, more coffee grounds, weeds not yet gone to seed, with the leaves held over from last fall. This is a much slower way to compost as it is difficult to achieve high temperatures when you are not adding a lot of volume. It is also difficult to stir compost in the earth machine composters, so I don't. I stir the layers as I build, and I water frequently to keep it moist, but not soggy. The following spring, the composters originally filled with layered old leaves and new grass are black gold. The later filled composters will require some screening. Either way, I get an abundance of home grown compost each spring, which I use as mulch for my flower beds. I do not mix it in, I layer it on top and let the worms do the job for me. It also serves to keep the already landed weed seeds under check as I bury them under a few inches of compost and very few have the energy to make it to the top. There are many different methods of composting, you might be happy with a shovelful of good compost ready in a week, or like me, you might want an abundance of compost to add to your beds once a year in the spring. |

I second leaving grass clippings on the lawn - by far the best place to turn them back into soil. I put all my leaves on my gardens, then lightly rake in spring to remove the totally uncomposted ones to put in the compost bin along with the winter's accumulation of frozen kitchen waste to get things moving. I'm a believer in open pile composting - the more rain water that percolates through, the less the smell and the faster the decomposition. You can see a picture at http://sankey.ws/landfill.html |

My name is Ulrich Fenners. I live in Dülken-Viersen a town close to the Dutch border with Venlo. For the past 52 years I have been a member of the DVG, in that time 20 years as a helper and instructor, in which I have taken part in large events within the DVG and Pedigree Kennel clubs. I was one of the first DVG members to acquire the dhv helper certificate and was one of the first to apply for the DVG SKN when it was introduced. With my dogs I have taken part in the VPG area and major events within the DVG, as well as pedigree championships. I am a bearer of the VDH Sports Badge including all dhv and DVG sports insignia. For the past 25 years I have been an active judge and now for the past 9 years LRO DVG for the Land Association Nord- Rheinland. Also in this time I have judged 17 Land Association events within the Federal Republic of Germany. The highlights for me so far is that I have had the good fortune to be chosen to judge a dhv German Championship, a DVG National Championship, and in 2006 the American Championship in Part C (protection) in Tulsa. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible at the end of October.
Best Regards |

My perfect cruise would be 6 months on a huge ship, the biggest ever made. It would be a fancy dress paradise, where everyone could experience a setting of their choice. That could be an Armed Forces theme where there would be tanks to drive, firing range etc, Rodeo cowboy theme, be a cowboy and learn how to ride and lassoo cattle.
Drive in movie area for those who just wanted to cuddle up and watch the big screen. Disco 70's style, everyone in their flares and curly wigs, ballroom dancing, Circus, ice-rink, ski slope, Bowling Alley , Funfair, Go Kart Racing, and for those who just wanted to take in the sun, there would be a lift to a separate deck where people could relax and watch the fun going on down below. Regular trips to the bottom of the sea in a special craft to wonder at the amazing sea creatures beneath.
For the music lovers a chance to learn to play an instrument be it drums, guitar etc and at the end of it to be part of a band on caberet nights. A singles bar for lone cruisers to meet new people, and for the kids a Disney Theme Park...child minder included!! A helicopter launch pad where you could be whisked off to nearby places of interest, a day at the races arena, and a selection of authentic areas of cuisine to choose from. It would be a holiday of a lifetime where people could do what they want and be who they want. A fantasy environment that everyone could enjoy........a fun ship/city on the sea, which I would name DIVERSITY.

Bay of Quinte Ice Reports
December 21st, 2011If you are like us, you can hardly wait to get out on the hardwater. For those who are interested in up to date reports on Bay of Quinte ice conditions, etc., feel free to give us a call and we can put you on our email list. With the amount of current flowing from the various rivers that feed the Bay of Quinte, ice conditions very greatly throughout the Bay. We can only tell you the thickness of the ice where we are fishing ourselves at a given time, yet in areas close by with higher currents there could be far less ice. Please take caution when you are venturing out.
There are a few weather service reports showing some promising upcoming temperatures. It shouldn't be too long and we will be out chasing walleye on the hardwater.
Quinte Ice Fishing Team
I would like to receive Quinte ice reports.

In this article…
Washington Nationals vs. Florida Marlins
Performing now!
Talk about coming out of left field. Two Washington Nationals officials are quoted in a new Sports Illustrated article about Nationals' top prospect Bryce Harper and compare the level of scrutiny he faces to that of Jackie Robinson. Yes, that Jackie Robinson. You know, the one that broke the Major League Baseball color barrier and whose entrance into baseball drew death threats and hateful insults.
"Harper, a travel-baseball phenom out of Las Vegas at 10, an SI cover boy at 16 and a $9.9 million signee at 17, is the most well-known minor leaguer since Michael Jordan. But Jordan was a novelty, not a prospect. Harper is the most scrutinized prospect since….
"Jackie Robinson," says Tony Tarasco, a former major leaguer and a Nationals minor league coordinator who has become Harper's player-development Yoda. "You have to go back to Jackie Robinson to find anybody who goes through this much scrutiny. It wasn't like this for [Stephen] Strasburg. Wasn't like this for Alex Rodriguez."
Jackie Robinson? Surely Doug Harris, the Nationals' director of player development, with 21 years in pro ball as a player, scout and executive, would find a different comparable for Harper. Independent of Tarasco, Harris offered, "This is really unfair and it's totally different, but if I can make a comparison to one guy that has been scrutinized like this, it would be Jackie Robinson. And it's unfair because it was a different standard. He was under a microscope in an era when we didn't have Internet, didn't have cellphones.
"Now, Jackie Robinson had his life threatened. I'm not comparing Bryce to that. But as far as nonstop scrutiny? Absolutely. Day to day."
Did they really just sat that? Yep, and to one of the finest baseball writers we have in Tom Verducci. It even appears Doug Harris, the guy that's in charge of development for every Nationals' player, is equating the added scrutiny brought on by technology like cell phones and the internet to the added scrutiny of becoming the first African-American ballplayer in a country that was still very racially intolerant.
Not to mention that completely separate, the described "Yoda" of Harper's development, Tony Tarasco, made the same comparison. Granted, Harris acknowledged it was a really unfair and totally different comparison but if you believe that then why make the comparison in the first place?
About the only thing I can find in common between Bryce Harper and Jackie Robinson is that in 2009, Harper won the Jackie Robinson award for being the best baseball player in high school. Robinson's granddaughter Sonya Pankey presented Harper with that award back then and I wonder what she would have to say about the comparison.
Remember, Harper is the same kid that dropped out of high school after his sophomore year to get his GED. That allowed him to play college baseball for one season and then enter the 2010 MLB draft at the age of 17. By the age of 18 he had signed a 5-yr contract for $9.9 million. While Harper's career has been under a lot of scrutiny, he's also benefited from opportunities Robinson never had.
Robinson didn't have the choice to end high school early, play for any college he wanted, and make close to $10 million dollars before his 23rd birthday. In fact when Robinson was 23, the age Harper will be signing his second big money major league contract, he was drafted into the army as a result of World War II.
Bryce Harper's every move is under an intense microscope between all the hype and the internet, twitter, camera phones and all the things that exists now that didn't in the 1940's. But its not about what Harper is dealing with and what Robinson didn't have to. This about everything Robinson went through that Harper and athletes of any race will never have to go through again. Because trust me, I think Robinson would happily trade death threats for a couple of angry tweets and blog posts.
I'm sure the Nationals' representatives didn't mean for their quotes to come off the way they did or perhaps they will say they were misquoted or "misrembered". However, the bottom line is it was a totally crass and inappropriate comparison to make and one that Tony Tarasco and Doug Harris will wish they could take back.
It will be interesting to see how the Nationals organization and specifically ownership choose to respond to this incident. What do you think about what Tarasco and Harris said was it fair or foul? Share your opinions in the comments below or on twitter @Jake_Langbecker

I am trying to design a closet for sporting goods. It needs to hold golf clubs (three bags), skis - 4 pairs; tennis rackets - 4; and all the accessories with golf, tennis and skiing. My space (new construction) is 7' 9" wide and 8' tall with a depth of 32". Has anyone put together a sports closet? Any suggestions on the design or resources for the closet are appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't know much about golf equipment, but as a downhill skier, I can say that you do NOT want the type of ski hanger that is just two posts that hold the skis hanging by the tips. It is very hard on the skis to store them that way. You want the type of ski rack that you see in the ski shops -- a stable box on the ground that holds the skis vertically, with the tails in the little compartments of the box. I have seen these for sale online. If you have twin tips, you might have to make something custom. Good luck on your project! Be sure to design in some flexibility for changing needs in the future. |
What a dream come true to have a sports closet! I have a set of shelves on my enclosed breezeway that is loosely the storage area for tennis, baseball, soccer, & football equipment. Things are always spilling off onto the floor and it's a real mess. The skis & poles are in the garage just kind of falling all over the place. Good luck and please post pictures when you're done, we'd all LOVE to see the finished storage area! My small suggestion: a shelf with plastic storage bins for balls, one for golf balls and one for tennis balls. A bin for ski gloves, goggles, etc. A bin for golf gloves, towels, etc. A bin for tennis gove, visor, etc. |

"We were blown away by the sheer beauty of our announcement! The colors, layout and design were perfect for introducing our angel baby boy to the world!"
"This card was perfect for the announcement of our new addition. I love the color scheme and the design of this card which really made my son's blue eyes pop out."
"Great experience with tinyprints. Great choice of layouts. In the layout we were not including text in one of the boxes, so in the original design it would appear blank when printing. I selected the designer review option. I also asked of they could include a heart in this box like the heart in another box. After submitting my order, I received the requested change In 10 minutes! Shipping was a few days faster than projected I was very happy with the result."
"Since we decided to call our son by his middle name, I was looking for a layout that allowed space for the full name, but also a place to feature his common name/nickname. This was one of the few layout across companies that allowed for this space in a layout I liked."
"very pleased with print quality and thickness of paper, the photo looked very good, background of our photo was mostly white so we changed the text color to blue to match the "welcoming with love" wording, and also moved it to the left side of the card instead of the right. we also customized the back of the card to include a photo with a caption."

Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello Again Claims No New Album in Progress
Last night, Billboard reported that Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine stated that the band has no plans to record a new album. However, this isn't the first time Morello has made comments of this nature.
Since July, mxdwn has been aware of Morello's sentiments. Morello has been adamant for a while that no new album is in the works.
Further, what is being reported of Morello's comments are in direct contradiction to comments that the other band members have made. As mxdwn reported in August, Tim Commerford, Rage's bassist, noted that there is new material in the works. Commerford notes about Rage's writing style:
We were jamming, and Zach was throwing freestyles. That's how we write music. To me that's exciting.
Moreover, Rage frontman Zach de la Rocha also revealed to Chilean newspaper, La Tercera, that a new album is in the works.
Given all the contradictory statements as of late, nothing has been confirmed. Hopefully an official statement will soon be released for all those Rage fans.

I'm a bit swamped today, but I'm never too swamped to read a little bit of Scalia (it's like snorting cayenne pepper, a sure-fire though unpleasant wake up technique). This paragraph struck me as uncharacteristic in that he was directly addressing the American people, instead of whatever imagined audience of wealthy 18th century landowners he usually thinks of:
The Court disguises the vast (and scary) scope of its holding by promising a limitation it cannot deliver. The Court repeatedly says that DNA testing, and entry into a national DNA registry, will not befall thee and me, dear reader, but only those arrested for "serious offense[s]." I cannot imagine what principle could possibly justify this limitation, and the Court does not attempt to suggest any. If one believes that DNA will "identify" someone arrested for assault, he must believe that it will "identify" someone arrested for a traffic offense. This Court does not base its judgments on senseless distinctions. At the end of the day, logic will out. When there comes before us the taking of DNA from an arrestee for a traffic violation, the Court will predictably (and quite rightly) say, "We can find no significant difference between this case and King." Make no mistake about it: As an entirely predictable consequence of today's decision, your DNA can be taken and entered into a national DNA database if you are ever arrested, rightly or wrongly, and for whatever reason.
He's right, of course, that the law enforcement urges of this country are an ever-encroaching force that no politician or elected judge ever stands against, because soft-on-crime is a pretty serious charge. I don't remember Scalia writing opinions as pleas to citizens for public policy like this before.
When you really get into it, Scalia is still crazy for reasons that still get him to the right result. His dissent is repeatedly offended by the fact that the test is invasive, in the sense that it requires an insertion of a swab into someone's body. But then you look at his comments from Missouri v. McNeely, earlier this year:
Scalia, raising an eyebrow, said: "I don't know why you want to bite off more than you can chew. … What is reasonable for sticking a needle in your arm is not necessarily reasonable for asking you to blow up a balloon."
If the reasonableness of DNA testing comes down simply to the method in which the DNA is taken, then the distinction that Scalia draws is meaningless; DNA can already be extracted from many different sources outside the human body. Moreover, it's pretty insane to think that a swab in the cheek is unreasonably invasive for a person about to live in GenPop for a year.
Having read it again, I don't think Scalia really leans on the invasiveness as much as I thought on first reading. That said, I think it is very odd that he finds fingerprinting okay, because:
Even assuming so, however, law enforcement's post-arrest use of fingerprints could not be more different from its post-arrest use of DNA. Fingerprints of arrestees are taken primarily to identify them (though that process sometimes solves crimes); the DNA of arrestees is taken to solve crimes (and nothing else).
Would it matter if only .001% of suspects needed to be fingerprinted in order to identify them, and the rest of the time the fingerprints were only used for the purpose of matching against future crimes. Every time a fingerprint is run through a database, it gets compared to every fingerprint in there (to some degree), as though you are being looked at every single time a fingerprint is scanned. There are false positives there as well (though I imagine they are few). I don't know all the numbers here, but I suspect that fingerprints are very rarely used to identify an uncooperative suspect's identity, but are often used to identify a pool of suspects while "crimefighting" as Scalia puts it. I have a hard time believing that the constitutionality of a search depends on whether it is used for a certain purpose .001% of the time or not.

Five St. Mary's County Commercial Fishermen Plead Guilty to Illegally Overfishing Striped Bass
Estimated Market Value of Striped Bass Involved in the Illegal Transactions is Over $2,150,000
Greenbelt, Maryland - Five St. Mary's County area commercial fisherman pleaded guilty today to illegally overfishing striped bass, also known as rockfish, announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Acting Assistant Attorney General John C. Cruden of the Environment and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice.
"Most rockfish return from the Atlantic Ocean to the freshwater of the Chesapeake Bay to spawn," said U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein. "If commercial fishermen obey the rules, we can all enjoy rockfish forever. If we allow overfishing, the rockfish population could be wiped out very quickly."
"Fishing limits in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River are designed to protect the healthy sustainable population of striped bass and ensure a viable fishery up and down the eastern seaboard. Commercial fishermen who knowingly conceal their illegal activities, and who traffic in illegally harvested rockfish are undercutting an honest market and risking the continuation of the species," said John C. Cruden, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Environment and Natural Resources Division.
According to their plea agreements, Thomas L. Crowder, Jr., age 40, of Leonardtown, Maryland; John W. Dean, age 53, of Scotland, Maryland; Charles Quade, age 55, of Churchtown, Maryland; Thomas L. Hallock, age 48, of Catharpin, Virginia; and Keith A. Collins, age 57, of Deale, Maryland, are all commercial fisherman operating in or near St. Mary's County, Maryland, and the surrounding waters of the Chesapeake Bay. As commercial fishermen in Maryland, they were each subject to a maximum quota in pounds of striped bass that they were allowed to harvest in a year and were also required to record each day's harvest of striped bass on a permit allocation card issued by the state of Maryland. Each day's harvest and its corresponding entry on the permit allocation was required to be verified by a Maryland designated check-in station. All striped bass caught by the defendants were required to be "tagged" with a plastic tag issued by the state. In addition to catching striped bass to fulfill their own quota, each defendant also entered into agreements to utilize the quota issued to other Maryland striped bass fishermen.
According to their statements of fact, from 2003 to 2007, Crowder, Dean, Quade, Hallock and Collins, with the help and assistance of a Maryland designated check-in station, falsely recorded the amount of striped bass that each harvested. In each year, the defendants failed to record some of the striped bass they caught. In addition, in each year the defendants recorded, and the check-in station certified on their Maryland permit allocation cards a lower weight of striped bass than was actually caught. The defendants and the check-in station operator also falsely inflated on these records the actual number of fish harvested. By under-reporting the weight of fish harvested, and over-reporting the number of fish taken, the records would make it appear that the defendants had failed to reach the maximum poundage quota for the year, but had nonetheless run out of tags. As a result, the state issued additional tags that could be used by the defendants allowing them to catch striped bass above their maximum poundage quota amount, yet still have tags to place on those fish and fish that were never reported to Maryland as being harvested. In addition, Hallock, Quade Dean and Collins falsely tagged striped bass, hiding the manner or location where they were caught. Hallock also fished out of season.
According to their plea agreements, Quade and Hallock further concealed the striped bass over- harvesting and under-reporting by having seafood wholesalers provide false receipts for their striped bass sales, claiming that the sales involved different species of fish.
Crowder, Dean, Quade, Hallock and Collins their illegal catch knowing that the fish would be sold to retailers and wholesalers in other states. According to their plea agreements, the estimated fair market value of the fish involved in the illegal transactions for Thomas Crowder is $956,285; for Keith Collins is between $600,000 and $750,000; for Thomas Hallock is $342,210; for Charles Quade is $151,507; and for John Dean is $100,267.
In a related case, commercial fisherman Joseph Peter Nelson, Jr., age 45, of Great Mills, Maryland, and his father Joseph Peter Nelson, age 69, of Avenue, Maryland, were indicted on October 15, 2008, for conspiracy to violate the Lacey Act, and six substantive felony Lacey Act counts. The indictment also seeks forfeiture of vessels and vehicles allegedly used by the Nelsons in carrying out the offenses. No trial date has been set.
Additionally, Cannon Seafood Inc., located in the District of Columbia, its owner and president Robert Moore Sr. of Falls Church, Va., and Robert Moore Jr. of Ashburn, Va., each pleaded guilty to one felony violation of the Lacey Act on Feb. 12, 2009 in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The company faces fines and the individuals face fines and prison sentences according to their plea agreements. Their sentencing date has been set of May 8, 2009, at 9:30 a.m.
Each defendant faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The Nelsons also face five years in prison on the conspiracy charge. U.S. District Judge Peter J. Messitte has scheduled sentencing for Crowder and Dean on April 16, 2009; Quade and Hallock on April 17, 2009; and Collins on April 22, 2009, all beginning at 9:30 a.m.
"This concerted federal and state investigation sheds light on a pattern of abuse that completely undermines the states' ability to manage and set quotas for striped bass," said Acting Special Agent in Charge Sal Amato of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Northeast Region. "Violations of fishing laws rob future generations of this important Chesapeake Bay resource."
"The Maryland Department of Natural Resources applauds and was happy to support these enforcement actions to preserve and protect our striped bass resource," said DNR Secretary John R. Griffin. "Through the enforcement efforts of the Maryland Natural Resources Police and through innovative partnerships with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and our sister states, we are working to ensure that our waterways are used in a lawful manner which provides for enjoyment of these public trust resources for current and future generations."
"This is a great example of a cooperative law enforcement initiative to protect our natural resources," said Commissioner Steven G. Bowman of the Virginia Marine Resources Commission, which includes the Virginia Marine Police. "Trafficking in illegal rockfish is not a harmless offense, and the Virginia Marine Police take this quite seriously."
Today's guilty pleas are the result of the investigation by an interstate task force formed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Maryland Natural Resources Police and the Virginia Marine Police, Special Investigative Unit in 2003. The task force conducted undercover purchases and sales of striped bass in 2003, engaged in covert observation of commercial fishing operations in the Chesapeake Bay and Potomac River area, and conducted detailed analysis of area striped bass catch reporting and commercial business sales records from 2003 through 2007. The investigation is continuing, and charges against others are possible.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Stacy Dawson Belf, and Trial Attorney Wayne Hettenbach, of the Department of Justice Environment and Natural Resources Division, who are prosecuting the case.

Budget cuts? Sequestration? May I suggest the first 535 layoffs?
Each one of these 535 clowns earns at least $174,000 in yearly salary that we pay for. Some, who are in higher positions such as Speaker, or party leader earn around $200,000. Lay off these 535 clowns and save at least $93 million from the budget! For the people!
Nah, makes too much sense.

Hello, We are looking to create a hedge/screen on the north side of the fence. Ideally it should be 12'-15' high and 3'-4' wide. We are near Palo Alto and our sunset zone is 15-16 (we are on the border). The place gets full sun in the summer, but in the winter the fence will block the sun. One of the plant we are thinking is Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae) 'Emerald' but I am concerned about the rate of grough. If we would plant 6' tall plant (15 gal) how long would it take to get to 10'? We were also recommended Prunus caroliniana but I am not sure I like it. Italian cypress is also an option we are looking at. Any other recommendations? Thanks, Vadim |
Here is a link that might be useful: Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae) 'Emerald'
Follow-Up Postings:
P. caroliniana gets considerably wider than 3-4' unless you plan to trim it regularly, and there is a spot-hole disease that can make them shabby looking. Reseeding can be a problem when they mature, as well. I would look at some of the fastigate junipers. They are quite fast and much smaller than mature Thuja or Italian Cypress. Italian Cypress will want to get much, much larger than your requirements. |

After Sidney Orr, a middle-aged writer getting back to his work after a near-fatal illness, buys a Portuguese notebook from a Chinese shopkeeper, the floodgates of his imagination open, and fine prose flows forth. ''Be careful, Sid,'' a friend warns, of this magical stationery. ''You have to watch out that you don't get lost.'' Anyone familiar with Auster's old books -- his spare yarns of vanishing and chance -- can guess that Sidney's fiction will bleed into his reality. His chilling ghostliness, however, has been supplanted by insulting mystic hoo-ha and his smooth plot work replaced by garish leaps and twists.

Review: Community Professional DS Series Speakers
Feb 10, 2012 4:59 PM, Reviewer: John McJunkin
Quality surface-mount speakers for the commercial market.
In most commercial applications, music is considered a background element, so the bandwidth of the speakers has usually focused on the midrange and high end in order to maximize the clarity of the human voice for paging and announcements. For aesthetic reasons, small speakers are desirable, which works out nicely since small speakers can reproduce the mids and highs necessary to present the human voice. The main frequency domain most neglected by typical commercial loudspeakers is the low end, which requires large drivers, resulting in bulky enclosures, which are likely less than desirable from an aesthetic standpoint. The accuracy of reproduction has also traditionally been a secondary concern, most likely the result of, yes, budget considerations.
Fast-forward to the present day: As with all professional audio products, commercial audio has evolved, constantly raising the bar of what's possible in the sonic realm. Clients recognize that high-quality sound is an area that can incrementally distinguish their establishment from competitors, and manufacturers are responding with increasingly improved speakers.
Community Professional Loudspeakers has introduced its DS series surface-mount speakers to meet the demand for high-quality units that are aesthetically pleasing, not bulky, and capable of delivering full-bandwidth sound with good accuracy. I evaluated a pair of the company's DS5 full-range coaxial speakers, along with a DS8SUB subwoofer—essentially a 2.1 satellite configuration.
Upon unboxing them, I was somewhat taken aback by the speakers' weight. Community does not publish the unit weight, but I weighed the DS5s at 10.2lbs. and the DS8SUB at 23lbs. For compact speakers, this is quite a bit of mass densely concentrated in a small volume. I generally presume two causes for heavier speakers like this: quality enclosure construction and/or large magnets on the LF drivers. The DS series cabinets are formed of thick-wall, internally reinforced ABS plastic, the strength and solidity of which is intended to reduce resonances, as is the rounding of the external corners of the enclosures, which also contributes to their sturdiness. The weight of these speakers is not a deal-breaker for me, since they're intended for installation and not portable use. I appreciate the solid construction of the enclosures and the mounting hardware. The enclosures are available in black or white, but they also can be painted to blend in.
The cabinet conforms to Mil Spec 810 humidity, salt spray, temperature, and UV exposure. The speaker enclosure itself has an ingress protection rating of IP55, meaning that it's dust-protected and safe from water jets in any direction—very substantial protection. The enclosures employ a ball-joint-type mount, which I found to work very well. A safety cable loop is also employed to keep the speaker from tumbling down in the very unlikely case of a mount failure of some kind. The mount incorporates Euroblock speaker connections enclosed by an IP56-rated cover (safe from powerful water jets) to protect the connections from the elements and maintain an aesthetic appearance. A two-pin male connection plugs into the speaker, and a four-terminal connector brings the signal in from your network. The extra two terminals facilitate tidy loop-through connections for distributed systems. The speaker's sturdy metal grille features a Community brand badge. Pulling the badge from the grille reveals the speaker's rotary power-tap selection switch. A minimum of three different taps is available in each of 70V and 100V systems, ranging from 7.5W to 60W in the DS5, and 25W to 200W in the DS8SUB. 8Ω impedance is also available for traditional amplification.
The DS5 is rated to handle 100W continuous power, 250W program, over a range of 65Hz to 22kHz, with a sensitivity of 93dB SPL (1W/1m). The DS8SUB is rated to handle 200W continuous power, 500W program, over a range of 42Hz to 200Hz, with a sensitivity of 88dB SPL (1/W1m). The published frequency range represents the 10dB-down points, and I would submit that my ears confirmed this. I would guess the 0dB numbers are probably more like 100Hz to 20kHz for the DS5, and 60Hz to 300Hz for the DS8SUB. Bear in mind that these are my approximations; I did not analyze the speakers subjectively. I appreciate when manufacturers publish honest specifications that don't insult one's intelligence, and Community is being truthful with these numbers.

These two young lesbian girls can't stop licking pussy, lesbians are the best people to teach you how to lick pussy properly, if you want to know how to eat pussy, these young women will teach you how they do it. First you softly eat a sweet girl pussy, do it slowly and when you get to her pussy lips then introduce your tongue and wet her cunt, that will make it easier to masturbate her pussy with your tongue.
Teen girls like to experiment with sex and having their pussy eaten, hence why these women are so eager to fuck with each other the lesbian rough style, nothing can compare with the pleasure that licking pussy gives, it is one of the few things that women can do with other women in sex, spread out their legs and offer their pussy on a tray for a big feast, lesbian women just love pulling down their panties and allowing their girlfriend to salivate on their cunts while they lick it.

Blue Island voters can weigh in on water
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY firstname.lastname@example.com March 25, 2013 11:14PM
Updated: April 27, 2013 6:06AM
While seven south suburbs are jointly exploring the possibility of constructing their own lake water system, voters in two of those suburbs can voice their opinions on that effort in advisory referendums on the April 9 ballot.
The Blue Island City Council decided to seek input from residents and will ask: "Shall the city of Blue Island continue its participation in the Joint Action Water Agency to explore less expensive alternatives for buying and distributing water for use by city residents and businesses?"
In Calumet Park, residents petitioned the village, requiring it to put the issue up for an advisory vote, saying they object to any legal agreements and financial support that would facilitate the construction of a system.
The five other towns that comprise the South Suburban Joint Action Water Agency are Alsip, Harvey, Markham, Midlothian and Robbins.
The group has been meeting since June 2011 to explore less costly alternatives to Lake Michigan water than obtaining it through Chicago, as they do now.
The agency has issued $5 million in bonds to hire engineers to study the feasibility of getting the water from Indiana, constructing and maintaining their own water lines.
Blue Island's share of that is 10 percent, Mayor Don Peloquin said.
"We are trying all avenues," he said. No route and no costs have yet been determined.
Peloquin, who is not seeking re-election, said the majority of the city council also could change along with the mayor's seat in the April 9 election.
"They all want to see the numbers before making a decision," he said.
He believes the costs will show that the agency can provide its own water at a better price. But it is also "very important" to be able to control their own water system, he said.
Currently, lake water users pay whatever Chicago charges. Chicago plans to upgrade its aging infrastructure and has begun to pass those costs on through increases of 25 percent in 2012 and 15 percent the next three years, putting it at $3.82 per 1,000 gallons by 2015.
"We are simply doing a study to determine if it's feasible," Calumet Park acting village administrator Mary Ryan said. "Nothing will be done until the study is done."

"Like Sara Gran's Dope, Serpents in the Cold lovingly revisits the hardboiled noir. From the dives of Dorchester to the Locke-Ober Café, John Garfield and Richard Widmark would feel right at home in O'Malley and Purdy's bygone, fallen Boston." -- Stewart O'Nan, author of West of Sunset
Post-war Boston is down on its luck and looking for change. A year after the Brinks Robbery—the largest robbery in the history of the United States—Boston is known more for its seedy underbelly than for its rich, historical past. The winter of 1951 is the worst in recent memory, and the Bruins are suffering another losing season.
Like the city itself, lifelong residents Cal O'Brien and Dante Cooper are struggling to find their identities after World War II. Cal has built a mildly promising life for himself as an employee of a company providing private security, whether to an honorable businessman who needs a nightwatchman or to an Irish mafioso who needs to have someone's legs broken. Dante is everything Cal is not. A heroin addict trying and failing to stay clean, Dante feels the call to do good after he discovers that his sister-in-law was the latest victim of a serial killer targeting disadvantaged women.
Woefully unqualified, but determined to help, Cal and Dante take it upon themselves to track the killer—but their daunting quest takes on dangerous consequences when the trail leads them to the highest ranks of city government. There are a few well-placed men who don't want Cal and Dante to solve this case.
An absorbing mixture of history and suspense, told with a meticulous eye for detail and character, Serpents in the Cold is a moving exploration about two men battling for second chances.
