James Wan, for better or worse, seemed destined to be known as the guy who made Saw a film that ushered in the recent era of torture porn cinema.
Never mind that hes directed four movies since then. Never mind that in the hazy memory created by six diminishing sequels, people forget the original Saw was a decent piece of filmmaking (with less torture than you remember). Wan was on track to endure a lifetime of sideways looks when he got introduced at parties.
If theres any fairness, hell now be known as the guy who made The Conjuring. The horror movie is artfully crafted from the first scares to the closing credits, with a bold retro vibe. But while its closest cousins are The Exorcist and the original The Amityville Horror, Wan understands that modern audiences have short attention spans. The scares here begin in the pre-credits sequence, and barely let up until the end.
The throwback horror genre has been percolating for years in art houses most notably with talented young Ti Wests The House of the Devil and The Innkeepers. So although West prefers a minimalist approach with a slow build, Wan aims for a more epic feel.
The Conjuring introduces us quickly to Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga), demonologists who believe in the occult, but understand most events are easily explained hoaxes. Next we meet the Perron family Carolyn, Roger and their five girls. With their 1970s clothing and sensibilities, the family is recognizable and realistic, with seasoned Ron Livingston and Lili Taylor in parental roles.
The Perrons have invested too much in an old house, which they gradually learn is haunted by spirits who mean to do them harm. They quickly hook up with the Warrens, who want evidence of the paranormal events before calling in an exorcist. The Perrons agree, after being told that these demons will follow them if they leave. The tale is tied together well at no point does the plot require anyone to make idiot decisions in the name of narrative momentum.
Wans boldest move is his reliance on practical effects, which enhance the 1972 setting. A storm of crows looks more like something from The Birds than a modern movie apocalypse. Demons are clearly played by made-up actors. The post-production digital effects bill couldnt have topped the low six figures and yet nothing feels skimpy.
The weakness of The Conjuring is repetition. There are multiple sequences where a Perron lights the basement with matches, sleepwalks or investigates an armoire, and scenes start to blend together in the 112 minute run time. (The emotionally satisfying ending forgives minor editing flaws.)
Although the budget was likely modest, attention to detail is rich. The musical score sets a menacing tone and is also an effective tease, changing things up to avoid tipping off the audience. As action builds, the camera work seems to get a little shakier and rise to impossible angles, as if the demons are handling the cinematography as well.
The actors are all committed to Wans vision, but Taylor stands out, giving everything to a complex and constantly shifting role. Writers Chad and Carey Hayes are also assets, resisting the horror movie urge to over-explain. They craft memorable scenes, but also include mystery, ensuring new things will be discovered upon repeat viewings.
There are two kinds of people who wont like this film: Those who hate all horror movies, and a less mature crowd not ready to experiment beyond the cheaper thrills of the Paranormal Activity or Final Destination templates. (That latter group doesnt trust mainstream movie reviews, so this glowing take should provide adequate warning.)
As the critic in charge of putting together a summer movie preview, I barely considered The Conjuring worthy of mention. That was a clear mistake. Id be shocked if we see a better horror film in 2013.

With the limitations imposed upon the filmmaker, the aesthetics and production design are really immaterial here.
So what we're really evaluating is the story.
Overall, the story is what it is. It's not terribly creative nor is it terribly bad. It's just two people who share a connection from across a busy street. That's all fine and good, but why do they then pass each other if they are attracted to one another? Is it simply to create the excuse for the unwitting dude to be hit by the unaware driver? If so, the needs of the story could have been better served. In the end the woman abandons the poor shmuck who couldn't make it across the road again (or wait for the light to change again). I guess I really just want the story to have a purpose, which is really what is lacking here. At the end of the short "film" all I'm left with is to wonder what I'm supposed to take from that...
I suppose there was probably some sort of restrictions on time to come up with the story for this competition as well, which would explain a lot. But at the end of the day, people will only remember how good you are based upon the last film of yours that they've seen...

• No flammability or combustibility issues
• Large selection of vibrant colors
• Extremely easy to apply
• Can be applied to most any cementitious surface
• Packaged in liquid form
• Easily shipped and stored
DYE-N-SEAL water-based dye is packaged in liquid form to be mixed with water by the customer. DYE-N-SEAL dye is offered in 32 standard colors. Custom colors are available for an additional fee and minimum order. Be aware that paint colors that contain a white base cannot be replicated. Dye colors can be combined to create an unlimited number of color variations. When applied properly DYE-N-SEAL dye gives great color and can produce a look similar to an acid stain with a sealer.
DYE-N-SEAL coverage rates will vary significantly
from floor to floor based on the roughness of the concrete, the porosity, and the mix design. Expect approximately 400 square feet per gallon for your first application, and 500-600

I am in the beginning stages of trying to figure out what type of home we are going to be pursuing next (build or buy existing). I think we prefer to build (semi-custom) rather than buy existing, but have not ruled out either. As I start my research I am trying to get my head wrapped around all the details that come with having a house built. So here is an attempt of mine to get an idea of things to look for when having a house built that could significantly change the budget.
I would love input from you guys/gals on things I am unaware of. - Lot size/shape/grading/clearing
I am not so worried about finishes at this time(wood floors, moulding, lighting). When I read about a $$/sqft does the sqft also include porches and garage space? Thanks for the input! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Generally $$ per sq ft is heated space. -Lot grading and clearing can be expensive depending on your lot. - Go to the city and check with them to see if it has a sewer connection or will you need a septic tank. -Typically here in california front landscaping is included but not the rear. -builders have told me bump outs do cost more so a plain box will be the cheapest option. I am barely starting the process. We have purchased our lot and are finishing up our plans. Continue to read and ask questions. One of the experts will chime in shortly. Goodluck! |
Add in: * well or city water (wells can have a huge variance in pricing but is an expensive up-front amount) |

In most of the country, you can buy existing homes for a lot cheaper than you can build the same home. In some locations, as much as half price of a new build. You have to really really want something non reproducible in order to plan to build in this climate. |
- Posted by amtrucker22 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 14:19
Yes we are thinking about buy an existing home, but currently on our existing market there is not a whole lot available in the style we are looking for :( In our area, the average existing home runs between $70-125 sqft (We live in a low cost area of FL) with new builds only being slightly higher starting out at $75 sqft. That is what led me to the question that I have posted as far as additional cost on top of just the 'build' that we would have shell out when building a new home. I am surprised to hear when a builder talks $/sqft that he is not including porches and garages. I know in real estate it is heated areas but the $$ has to be made up somewhere when you have a wrap around porch or a 3 car garage. Thanks for all the comments so far! |

Don't forget to check on fees and permits. In some areas, they are very cheap; others- yikes! I read about a man who was building in an historic district of Truckee CA. His permits and fees ran $58,000. No, that's not a typo- fifty-eight THOUSAND dollars! By comparison, our permits in SC were less than $500. So far, the only surprises were utilities. The water company wanted $1400 just to tap into the main line. I then had to have it run 460 feet underground. The electric was a shock (pun intended) too. Our area is served by two different power companies. The big one, the one I assumed we would have, runs the power underground for free. The other one charges quite a bit- another $1200, IIRC. Also, we had to have the neighbor sign an easement, since the closest pole was on their property, and we needed an easement to come off the pole and under their property over to ours. I'm glad we have nice neighbors! |
- Posted by amtrucker22 (My Page) on Wed, Mar 21, 12 at 21:55
WOW! 58k for permits and fees. That is really hard to swallow. I don't expect that kind of fees to be added but I will check! I am hoping that our next property does have underground utilities. I think it cleans up the neighborhoods. Something we are looking for is a kid friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and street lights. I have found a few lots that are decent size in established neighborhoods but if we put our house on the lot it would be over building for the neighborhood. Man, nothing is simple anymore... |

We have a magnavox tv and recently it has been having some problems of unknown origin. Fairly shortly after it is turned on, either the sound goes out, it freezes on the channel or it starts buzzing. Each time something happens it has to be unplugged and plugged back in to be able to turn it back on because it won't turn off after those things happen. It usually takes a couple times turning it on and off before it finally starts working. Any ideas on what could be the problem?? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I also am having problems with my 27 inch Magnavox Tv. When it comes on, a white line appears 1/4 the way down the screen, then about two inches of the picture disappears from top of the screen and the white line remains where the actual picture begin, and the black 2 inch section and the white line ends. Anyone who could tell me what the problem is would be highly appreciated. The television was hardly used. It use to be in my television room, and no one watched the television in that room. About 4 months it was moved to my bedroom. So it may be five years old, but it should be as brandnew with very little viewing. |

[345] Utility of BRAF Gene Testing on Thyroid Nodules Diagnosed as Follicular Lesion of Undetermined Significance (FLUS)
Sue Chang, Ryan T Phan, Neda A Moatamed, Sophia K Apple. David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, CA; VA Greater Los Angeles Health System, Los Angeles, CA
Background: The evaluation of thyroid nodules routinely begins with fine needle aspiration (FNA) to triage patient management based on the risk of malignancy. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) has a category for borderline cases of follicular lesions that do not satisfy all criteria for malignancy. At our institution, we have a 3% rate of diagnosing a lesion as FLUS, based on a computerized search of 2972 cases from 2003-2007. Previous studies have shown that BRAF mutations variably occur in 46-69% of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Within certain histological subtypes of follicular variant PTC, 26% of cases have also been shown to contain the BRAF mutation. This study assess the value of BRAF mutation analysis by PCR in FNA specimens previously labeled as FLUS.
Design: From March 2007 to March 2011, 36 cases at our institution were diagnosed as FLUS and later had a surgical pathology tissue diagnosis. We used 8 benign and 11 malignant cases of FLUS that appeared to have adequate cells. Genomic DNA was extracted from cells on the previously stained cytology slides, and BRAF V600E mutation analysis was performed by a real-time PCR approach utilizing BRAF wild-type and V600E Taqman probes.
Results: Of the 19 cases selected based on cytology slides, 15 had sufficient DNA for mutation analysis. BRAF V600E mutation was detected in one case (6.7%), which was confirmed as PTC on surgical excision. None of the follicular variant PTC cases tested positive for BRAF mutation. When considering cases with sufficient DNA, the sensitivity of BRAF mutation to detect PTC is 11% and the negative predictive value is 43%. The positive predictive value and specificity are 100%.
Tissue Diagnosis | |||
BRAF Mutation | PTC, any variant | Benign | TOTAL |
Detected | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Negative | 8 | 6 | 14 |

I'm working on installing some membership/forum software to better handle comments, and it's a bit tricky. Site may have some issues for a while. If there's trouble accessing content, it can be read at: feeds.feedburner.com/thespearhead
If an installation fails and crashes the site and I can't figure out why, I'm going to have to upload the backup, and that could take a long time. If I have to upload a database backup it will take even longer — this is a very large site by now.
So don't worry if the site goes offline for a while. I've dealt with all the security issues and there are no problems with the host, so any downtime (hopefully very little if any) will simply be due to installing software or restoring the site if there's a fatal problem during installation/configuration.

The Story behind Entrackment
We're all musicians at Talkative, and one of our favourite tools is Garageband. It's easy, simple and the perfect tool for testing ideas and create the starting point for a new music project.
However, Garageband is not perfect. We often find ourselves moving around the midi keyboard, the mouse and other stuff depending on which task we're working with. And there's very little (if not none) feeling when you adjust track volumes, equalizers, paning, etc. This is not a problem unique for Garageband and for the professional studio the solution is simple: A control surface.
But here's the deal:
You can find a cheap control surface for $99 but as we see it - the hardware feeling and the integration with the application really sucks.
If you want good hardware and good integration, it will cost you at least ten times more.
And the worst part - not even the expensive control makes a good job.
The day after iPad was announced, we decided to create our own control surface.

It's so wonderful to see small little daisies growing up all on their own surrounded by grass everywhere. When the sun is shining and there is nothing to do except eat a nice picnic and stroll by the beach I'm in heaven.
I shot these bright little daisies down in Garrettstown, Co. Cork a few months ago.

RENI - Small Leather Crossbody Bag
Size: |
Exterior: Approx. 8"H x 10.5"W x 3"D Interior: Approx. 7.5"H x 10"W in the middle x 2.5"D (tapers to 2"D at top) |
Marco Campomaggi's bags boast a style that is rugged-chic, and possess a distinctly artisanal look and feel.
His bags undergo a unique manufacturing process, where each bag is washed and dyed in its entirety after all the parts are put together - straps, lining and all. This technique (patented by Marco's Campomaggi brand) not only gives Marco's bags their vintage, weathered look, but also makes each single piece really a one-of-a-kind work of art.
The leather used is 100% Italian full-grain leather - the finest quality - and the more you wear it, the more charm and personality it acquires. The fabrics and straps are all made of 100% environmentally-friendly cotton, adding to the timelessness of Marco's bags.
Everything about Campomaggi bags exude character - from the uniquely-dyed leather and the distressed hardware to the confident designs that invite you to "come see what I'm made of".

Talking directly to the owners has its advantages. Fill out this form to start the conversation:
A small leather crossbody bag that infuses style with practicality, the RENI feels more like an extension of your body than a "bag". It can hold just the right amount of stuff - your wallet, phone, keys, and some other smaller items - while maintaining its smart, compact shape.
The Distressed Green has been distressed more than the others, resulting in slighter smaller dimensions of about 7"H and 9.5"W (i.e., it shrunk more!)
Please note that the PATENTED TREATMENT these bags go through guarantees that no two bags are exactly alike. Because each "skin" is unique in the way it absorbs color, stretches and shrinks, each finished bag is distinct in its color, tonality, and texture. The resulting shape and size may also vary slightly.
Features:- Handmade in Italy with Italian vacchetta leather ... then distressed for that perfectly vintage look
- One small front pocket with magnetic button closure
- One cotton-lined main compartment with magnetic button and leather strap closure
- One zippered pocket (approx 5.5"x4") and one open accessory pocket on the interior
- Adjustable leather strap (52"-57" long)
- Campomaggi logo badge on the back and interior of bag

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Helen!
Facts about Helen
- Breed: Doberman Pinscher Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Helen's Info...
I am already spayed, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
We currently have a 10 week old Doberman Pinscher mix pup that was rescued from a high kill shelter. She is a sweet girl who loves to play and also loves to snuggle. She has had her first and second set of vaccines and has been dewormed and health certified. She gets along well with other dogs and would do fine in a home with cats and children. Her adoption fee is $250 and she is located in South Jersey. To schedule a time to meet her please call 856-417-2906. If she cant answer right away please leave a message. We do same day adoptions. *This pet also comes with optional 30 days of FREE insurance!*

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Helen, a South Jersey Doberman Pinscher puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Doberman Pinscher for sale in South Jersey, or seeking a Doberman Pinscher puppy from a breeder in South Jersey.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in South Jersey already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a South Jersey breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Doberman Pinscher breeders who help with Doberman Pinscher rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in South Jersey paves the way for another one to be saved.

Windows 8 tablets in general have struggled to gain significant market share, but NY Times reviewer Bob Tedeschi compares Microsoft's Surface 2 favorably to the market leading iPad.
While noting both Android tablet and iPad users have a far greater selection of apps to choose from, the review gives Microsoft high marks for hardware design and at least an adequate selection of apps:
"The value proposition of the base Surface 2 seems about right. For around the price of an iPad, you get a tablet that's great for watching movies, checking email, browsing the web and using most of the basic apps you'll need."
Furthermore, with Surface 2 Microsoft has addressed many of the criticisms reviewers had with the original Surface RT tablet.
With "the second iteration of the Surface, which went on sale in late October, most of those downers have been addressed. The new Surface includes Outlook, an upgraded battery, a kickstand with two viewing angles instead of just one and faster USB ports, and other goodies."
Minus a few other criticisms, including the lack of a model with cellular connections, Tedeschi says the Surface 2 "is a bargain machine that packs a tremendous amount of value for the price.
"The software sparkles with thoughtful and innovative touches that will most likely find their way to competing platforms. When a website or page includes information that spills over onto another page, for instance, part of that page peeks out at you as you browse, so you know it's only a swipe away."

Surface Pro is pricey
And while you get a wider selection of apps with the Surface Pro (the full range of Windows software), NYT notes you pay a much steeper price.
"Why buy the Surface 2 instead of the Surface Pro 2? The Surface Pro 2 is a $900 machine, not including the $130 keyboard, and at that price the detachable tablet would have to provide a great all-around experience to justify the cost."

The news-literacy movement was born in the middle of the last decade, in response to the challenges news consumers face in the digital age. In fairly short order, the longstanding brands that had delivered the news in established formats had become part of a cacaphonous and uneven information ecosystem in which partisans, charlatans, experts, and amateurs of all stripes and competencies deliver a daily torrent of "news" and commentary, via myriad channels. Much of this information has never been vetted, or even sourced.
How is a reader or viewer—especially one not weaned on the old-media standards—to know what information, or outlet, is trustworthy? That was the fundamental question that animated the news-literacy pioneers.
The larger context for the creation of news literacy was rising concern over American ignorance—of not only the wider world but also the basics of life in the republic. Surveys regularly showed that most young adults could not find the latest country we were bombing on a map. News illiteracy threatened to worsen the situation.
Howard Schneider, a former editor at Newsday, took the first step in 2005, creating a news-literacy class for undergraduates at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. After launching the university's journalism school, Schneider realized that too many of the students knew too little about how journalism worked to go straight into training as reporters. The news-literacy curriculum he developed teaches students how to separate ads from editorial content and opinion from straight reporting, and how to determine the accuracy of sourcing. And, perhaps most important, why all that matters. Today, not just the journalism students, but roughly one-third of every freshman class take the news-literacy course.
Three years after Schneider built the Stony Brook program, Alan Miller left his job as an investigative reporter at the Los Angeles Times and founded The News Literacy Project (NLP), which brings professional journalists into classrooms, physically and digitally, to teach students how to separate the informational wheat from the chaff. NLP has since formed partnerships with the Chicago public school system, schools in New York City, and the suburbs of Washington, DC.
One of the challenges for these programs has always been a limited reach. NLP to date has reached more than 10,000 students, which is still just a tiny fraction of the American student body. Digital technology may allow them to find a much larger audience: NLP hopes to expand dramatically online, and teachers are beginning to incorporate news-literacy strategies and projects into general-education classes. Every summer, Stony Brook's Center for News Literacy trains roughly 20 K-12 teachers how to incorporate news literacy into English, history, and other classes. And Newsela, a startup founded last year, offers digital news-literacy curricula and lesson plans.
But news literacy remains marginalized in the sprawling and emotional debate about how to fix what ails America's system of education.
That may be about to change. The Common Core standards, released in 2010, are a state-led effort to create ambitious national benchmarks for English language arts and math. They have been adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia. For most states, 2014-2015 will be the first year that they take effect. The English standards broaden expectations in nonfiction reading and critical-thinking skills. No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the Bush administration's signature education reform initiative, was widely criticized for its narrow focus on math and reading comprehension. English exams focused on the technical components of language and the basic meaning of a passage. The Common Core standards, by contrast, would have students engage with the quality of an author's argument or analyze how the narrator's point of view affects his or her perception. They do not require news literacy per se, but many proponents and educators believe news literacy programs—which are fundamentally about critical thinking—will grow in popularity as a way of teaching the skills that Common Core demands.
"There is an increased, broader interest in media literacy," says Joe Kahne, director of the Civic Engagement Research Group at Mills College, referring to news literacy's more established academic ancestor. "And a significant portion of that is increased interest in news literacy. Common Core is one of the drivers of that interest because it emphasizes the ability to make sense of information."
NLP's Alan Miller puts it more succinctly: "We're really swimming with the educational current now."

I currently have an Asko pair circa 2000. The washer has a new motor ( 1 year old). The dryer is dying. It is making a terrible noise. I have found a used Asko dryer for $300 that seems to be refurbished. I will make do for a while, In the mean while, I need W/D set that heats water HOT. I would like a 240V machine, if possible. But not necessary. The larger load size would be nicer. Ideas???? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Kaismom, I just went through a selection process for a new washer and considered a 240V washer. I think your only worthwhile 240V options are Asko or Bosch. Both are 24' European size, so you won't get large capacity (but you are used to it with your Askos). If you decide on a 27' machine you will get much bigger size but none of them come in 240V. I decided on LGs (had good experience with an LG washer in the past and friends have them as well). Other brands I considered were Frigidaire, Samsung and Electrolux. So far I'm very happy with my choice (LG WM3070). I only did a few loads since it's been delivered earlier this week but it seems that the machine has no trouble drawing hot water and then heating it up further. I have to find my thermometer to measure the actual wash temps but it seems that the heater works in multiple cycles and does a good job. I also noticed that the "Additional Rinse" option allows you to select up to 2 additional rinses which is nice. The TurboWash feature seems to work very well too (but it does make the machine somewhat noisy if you use that option). I have the units installed on the 2nd floor and there is no vibration from the washer. I hope the machine will work fine with no problems for long years to come (my prior LG washer is now around 3 years old and is working perfectly well for my ex ;-). So I'd say look at LG, Samsung, Electrolux and Frigidaire. Go and see them at a store and see if you like the feel of them (some people thought the Electrolux felt flimsy). Don't listen to the sale people but do your own research. I basically pulled the manual for each model I was interested in and read it to see if it had the features I wanted. Read reviews on independent sites and do a lot of reading between the lines when you read them (I basically discounted every review that complained about long wash times and the fact that you can't see the water in the tub ;-). I will do a more detailed review of my new washer once I have a chance to use its a bit more. Good luck with your choices! |

I had an Asko pair of the same vintage until two months ago. My controller board went and could not be replaced. I'd had a Bosch pair in our apartment and liked it a lot. To an Asko user, the cycle names are kooky and the water heat settings are based on trust because unless you call them multiple times you won't know what the heat levels are. Bosch does have a sanitize cycle but it doesn't whiten in the same way Asko does. The strength of the machine is its ability to do the synthetics and delicates. The drum capacity is way larger than Asko, another plus. I didn't go with Bosch because I need a vented dryer and they will be discontinuing theirs this year. I had a condenser dryer in the apartment. It did a great job but it got very hot and cleaning the filter was a huge chore. I went with a Miele pair and I'm thrilled. It's far more flexible than the Bosch (and much more expensive). The drum is also bigger than Askos though not quite as roomy as Bosch. It does have lighting, which the other two don't have so nothing gets lost in the drum (the lighting sounds trivial but it makes a big difference I find). The 165 F sanitary cycle is similar to the long Asko cycles with prewash. I don't find it lacking vs Asko hot temps. There is a heater. There are small issues and mysteries and a fairly steep learning curve for a washer but the superior results and convenience of using it are unmatched IME. As a former Asko user I was quite spoiled by that machine's ability to remove stains. Miele is as good at that or even better. It's also superb on the delicate/specialty side (where Asko fell short for me). One thing I never thought I'd use is the delay feature. I can throw a load in there before I go to bed and when I wake up it's ready for the dryer. Another thing I would have rolled my eyes at but really turns out to be great. The dryer is nearly as complex as the washer in terms of what can be controlled/customized. I've not had another dryer with this type of flexibility. I can put a wool sweater in there and pre-dry it without issue. I've stopped hanging my delicates and workout clothes -- they can go in and they come out in super shape. DHs casual shirts come out so well they almost look ironed. Forgot. Both are very quiet in comparison to the old Askos. |
rococogurl, Thanks for your feedback on your 120V Miele. How long does your typical wash take? 95 to 105 light normal cycle takes about 1 hour. That is my typical wash. my intentions were to buy a Miele 240V pair when my Asko eventually died. I used the Miele 240V machine when I was visiting our relatives in Germany and I was very impressed with it. Unfortunately, Miele changed the US model to 120V. I am quite disappointed in their decision. It seems as if you feel that that the power difference can be looked the other way when considering a Miele. I used a washer in Rome when we rented an apartment there. That was a terrible machine. I can't remember the name. It was not a Miele. Not all 240V machines are created equal. The size of the machine is not that problematic. I have raised (am raising) my kids with the small Euro machine and I have manged fine. I guess I will keep my eyes open while waiting for the Asko to die. Miele may decide to bring their 240V machine back ;) |
I recently replaced a 240v Miele W1928 with the same 120v machine that rococogurl has. I don't miss the old one at all. The Miele doesn't use that much water, so it doesn't take that much power to heat it or keep it at temperature. A normal wash cycle on warm is 66 minutes and I can do an Express cycle in 31 minutes. I really doubt Miele will ever go back to 240v in their consumer line here in the US. They lost a lot of sales because people didn't want to the additional expense of installing the circuit in their laundry room and the performance on 120v machines is excellent. And the drum light does totally rock. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 21:28
Richard, hope you will do a detailed post on your new machine as I would love to hear your observations on the differences. I've only had 240 v machines up to now but this 120 v ($125 to add the plug) is the one that performs best. Funny, no? And I liked the Bosch a lot. |
Well, tell me more Rococogurl, I am trying to take the plunge and have a thread for a small set. Richard has posted to it and has been helpful. I would love to hear more of your story. Why the w3033 and not the PW6065 which is a bit larger, and commercial grade I guess? Thanks. |
- Posted by rococogurl (My Page) on Sun, May 5, 13 at 12:52
@ enduring. Will post to your thread. |
Oh, thank you so much, Kaismom, have you got a new machine? And thanks for the thread, it is helping me quite a bit as I do my search. |
Enduring - I answered your questions in your other thread. |
enduring, my washer and dryer still work. I think my plan is to buy a 120V Miele when my Asko set dies. I have used other standard American washers in other people's homes and when I am renting condos and apartments. The stains don't come out and whites get dingy. When I get back home, I am very happy to be able to wash at the temperature that I select. I just talked to a mom that soaks her boys white socks in Biz to make them white. I just toss them in my washer with detergent and oxygen bleach at 140F to 160F and the socks stay WHITE. At this point, I am not sure if LG/Electrolux with built-in heater will do adequate job. Does anyone have any experience going from a Euro model to a large front loader with a heater? |
Thanks Kaismom, I just got home after buying a Miele set W3033, and expect delivery in 50 days. Hopefully I will have the room ready for the pair :) I am working out the details of prepping the floor for my main floor location. The installation manual says to use 1-3/16" (3cm) thick ply to lay down on the floor and fasten this ply down to the joist. I was not going to take out my existing flooring or sub flooring. I was just thinking of going over the top with the ply and have the area finished to look like a small shallow step up, when I retile the whole area. |
Enduring - congratulations on finalizing your plans and buying your new machine. I think you'll be very happy with the W3033. I'm a little surprised by the delivery lead time of 50 days, but I guess it is what it is. Did you every find out about authorized service companies in your area? |
Thank you Richard, I am looking forward to the installation. I can't wait to try them out. I love sorting laundry so this set will be very useful I believe. I am ok with the lag time with the delivery because my remodel project will take at least the long. What I was told was that the service with this authorized dealer would be authorized service. I bought a 5 year warranty with the appliance store. They did not offer a Miele extended warranty. Several years ago I bought a Samsung fridge at this dealer and bought the extended warranty and they were very good with the 3 calls I had to make within the first 16 months. I asked the salesman what type of service provider would be called if a repair was needed. He told me an authorized service provider, that the insurance company contracts with, would be contacted. I have been happy with the sales department and I hope that the warranty will be dependable if I need it. It was in the past. I did contact Miele about the professional model "Little Giant" and it would have been 4K for the washer and 3K for the dryer, or there abouts. I asked about the warranty options for this set and he believed it would have been 2K but wasn't sure. That sounds out of line, so maybe he was wrong. I just couldn't justify the expense so passed. |
Miele will extend your warranty on the W3033 from one year to five for $249. How does that compare with what the store charged? I'm considering taking the Miele one myself. |
Hi, the extended warranty cost $250. How did you find out about the Miele warranty? Did you get contacted after the sale by Miele? I asked the salesman about "Miele" extended warranty and he said it was only a 1 year warranty. Interesting. |
The info on the Miele extended warranty is on their website (see link below). If I were you I'd see if you can cancel the store one and get the Miele one instead. With the Miele one they'll make sure that anyone who services the machine is really authorized by them to do so. You can call the customer service number if you have any questions about it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Miele extended service contracts
Thanks Richard for the information. I contacted my Appliance dealer and they referred me to the product/insurance they sell. The appliance salesman I worked with is assuming that the service repair would be an authorized Miele provider. I called the insurance company and they said "not necessarily". They contract with repair companies but can't guarantee that the repair is a factory authorized Miele repair tech. So I called Miele and they do guarantee that the service will be Miele authorized. So I am in the process of seeing about canceling the contract with the appliance store that I bought. Of note, the contract I bought initially, was $250 for both the washer and dryer. The Miele insurance is $249/appliance. Did you buy a policy for your dryer? |
The extended warranty companies will usually send anyone with a van who will accept the small amount of money they offer for the service call. I've had a couple of bad experiences with the company that bought out GE's extended warranty business but continues to operate under the GE name. That's why I'm going to go with the Miele warranty for my washer. I have a GE profile gas (propane) dryer that is holding up pretty well considering that it's 8 or 9 years old at this point, so I didn't get the MIele dryer. Where I live in NY it's about half the cost to run a dryer on propane as it is an electric unit so I've never considered the Miele dryer. While I think a matched set looks nice, I've never understood why people felt so strongly that it had to be a matched set. A dryer is inherently a much simpler appliance that a washer, and I think that the performance difference among brands and models is less. |

Sarah & Damien were married in the lovely little Catholic Church in Lyndhurst where we added a pedestal and some spring Hyacinths to decorate the alter. Sarah chose blue agapanthus and blue irisclassic white flowers including freesia and roses and veronicas in a traling bouquet. The bridesmaids carried similar natural style bouquets incorporating astrantia and blue eryguim to enhance the blue theme. Their reception at the Master Builders Hotel in Bucklers Hard had simple table arrangements using floating large headed roses in bowls.

One of the points frequently made about Occupy Wall Street is that it has shifted the national conversation by putting income inequality and financial deregulation back on the table. At the same time, one of the most inspiring things about the actual site of Zuccotti Park, and the other Occupy encampments, has been their creation of a forum for open conversation about issues of local and national policy.
But what is the national conversation? Where does it take place? Whose voices are involved? Today I want to ask: Could expanding the national conversation become a focal point for political mobilization? Could activists mobilize around a clear articulation of the need for a more open, engaged, diverse national conversation? Could this be a way to bridge constituencies that currently have a hard time talking to one another?
As a rhetorical strategy, the idea of expanding the national conversation is double-edged. It encourages us to pull back from direct, explicitly partisan mobilization, and to look instead for more "neutral" (read: widely acceptable) ways of framing the issues. At the same time, it also takes for granted the idea that "more" conversation on such issues will ultimately mean "better" conversation.
(When OWS puts income inequality on the table, we assume that this is a push in the direction of less inequality, since current norms don't allow an explicit argument for greater inequality. Those who want to bolster inequality have to reframe the issue, for example by shifting to a conversation about "job creation" — also something that can't be explicitly rejected in the current political climate.)
Yet I think there is a lot to be said for this kind of strategy, especially in this moment, when the national conversation in the U.S. is operating on a very shallow level, with little substantive debate and much divisive sound-biting. Is this the best we can do?
It bothers me, for example, when my political comrades describe our country as if it consisted of three constituencies: left-wing voters, left-wing leaders, and right-wing leaders. It's as if they forget all about the right-wing voters, the people who actually vote for and support Romney and Perry and Gingrich. Then they turn around and say: The politicians are ignoring the will of the people! I don't hear enough activists on my side of the spectrum talking about what motivates Republican voters.
Of course, gerry-mandering and voter suppression are real. There are all kinds of problems built into the system. To some extent, the politicians are ignoring the will of the people. But we do still hold elections, and plenty of people participate in them — and, of those people, plenty are voting for right-wing candidates. The Republican party has a strong electoral basis in social conservatism and religious fundamentalism. I don't see how we can hope to change or understand the current situation nationally without taking that into account. And that means framing the national debate to include the issues that mobilize those communities alongside our own.
So: How do we open up the conversation?
Sometimes it seems as if presidential debates are just about the only time when a national conversation actually takes place. There, campaign finance reform is a central issue, and already a main focus of political activism. But I usually hear this issue framed in terms of who gets elected, as if the only purpose of presidential elections were to find out which of two parties will hold power for the next four years. Shouldn't presidential debates be the highest level of national conversation? Shouldn't they be supported by a layered, systemic national conversation that continues throughout all phases of the election cycle? Isn't campaign finance reform really about trying to make the presidential contest less of what Brian Lehrer calls a "horse race" and more of a substantive conversation on national issues?
In short, I don't think it's enough right now to mobilize on specific issues. The bill that just passed in the Senate is a good example: It's terrifying. But even more terrifying is the fact that we have arrived at a moment where such a bill can pass without significant national debate. There are only so many petitions that one can sign against specific bills that most people in the country have never even heard of. I am yearning for a longer-term view of politics, for a vision of the future that goes beyond slowing or preventing the slide toward authoritarianism.
And so I wonder:
- What if expanding the national conversation became the explicit platform of a social movement or political party? What kinds of implications (for campaign finance reform, for education, for civil rights, for financial regulation) could be woven into an argument for more open and thorough debate?
- What kind of articulate challenges could be put forth in terms of how actually to accomplish this expansion? What type of debates, conversations, forums, round tables, symposia, performances, and educational programs would support such an expansion? What kinds of institutions and media are best situated to accomplish this? What kinds of pressure could cause them to do so?
- And finally: Is there a special role here for education and academia? (Here's a challenge for intellectuals to support OWS. And here's a proposal to shed light on how politicians interact with experts in relevant fields.) How can we counter the spinning of higher education as an elitist club? What are the real systems that can raise the level of public debate and get people interested in the national conversation?

With Mother's Day around the corner, it might be a good idea to start thinking of some DIY gifts for mom. Moms seem to really appreciate gifts from the heart and there is no better way to accomplish such than by creating a homemade confection.
When you were a little kid, you could get away with drawing a picture with crayons and then strategically gluing some glitter and macaroni on to accentuate it. Although I'm sure those visionary works of art were very special, maybe this year you should try to up your game.
You might just be surprised by some of the fantastic DIY gifts for mom tutorials there are out there. With a little patience, you have the ability to create something memorable for mom on her special day.
