I was thrilled when our architect found an extra few inches so that I can install a full-size stackable washer/dryer in our 2nd floor hallway closet.
Now I'm just overwhelmed by all the info in the forum posts. From what I've read the manufacturers seem to still be benefiting from brand-loyalty they cultivated way-back-when when the machines were built to last decades. But unfortunately for those of us who are buying in 2011, it's a confusing world. I started thinking Whirlpool Duet, then read bad reviews here and went on to Bosch -- until I saw that Consumer Reports panned the 300 for noise/vibration problems -- not good for a 2nd floor closet. People seem gaga for the Mieles, but they don't carry a full-size stackable unit so I don't have to lose sleep over whether the extra $$$ would be worthwhile. So, what to do? Can anyone recommend a full-size stackable unit that is *quiet* and reliable. I don't mind paying a little bit more for quality and reliability, but I don't need anything fancy or lots of different options and settings. Thanks in advance for any thoughts! |

Given your requirements, I would go with a Speed Queen set. |

I thought I read that speed queen was not good for 2nd floors/upper floors? I am in the same situation as op so will watch this with interest. I don't have budget for miele am considerIng Bosch LG and ??? |
I might be putting too much stock in Consumer Reports, but their ratings for the Speed Queen models (Speed Queen AFB50R and AFN50R) for noise and vibration were very low. Do people have experiences to the contrary? Any other models that might fill the bill? |
The Speed Queen machines are very nice. But quietness isn't something that concerned Speed Queen when they designed these machines for the commercial market. I have a set and they are about as quiet as the LG's they replaced. MRB |
I have a second floor laundry closet and own Whirlpool Duet w/d. They are extremely quiet and when I close the door you cannot hear them in the next room. As for reliability, I've had them for 5 years without a service call. I would recommend them based on my experience. |
I second the whrilpool duet w/d in second floor. we have the same and the noise level is manageable. The only issue i had was carried over from the old owner so may be user related. Other then that whoever see this w/d loves it. |
The biggest problem you may or may not have is the construction of your home. There is always going to be some vibration from a stacked set, much less a regular side by side. If everything is very solid, you are probably ok but if the structure is at all bouncy it will translate into the walls and be loud. There are any number of things you can do, and there are any number of options for washers but the structure will be the limiting factor. |

Although there are many bad reviews around the web, my personal experience in a similar situation had led me to purchase a Whirlpool Duet. While there are a lot of bad things said about this unit, I have had mine for a good 3 years without any real problems. Also, I find it to be a very quiet unit overall - perfect for a hall closet in my opinion. |

Indeed! That's why I'm so glad you now have another study for the younger ages!
The same is true of oral communication skills. That's why I have written Say What You Mean for Preschoolers all the way through adults. It's so much easier to start them off early.

Scientist, installation artist, and TEDGlobal speaker Beau Lotto, head of Lotto Lab, a hybrid art and science studio at London's University College, speaks about his new education initiative, My School, as well as his insatiable urge to change the way we learn about our world.
What led to your pursuit of neuroscience?
One of my idols is my grandfather, who was an inventor. He was someone who did everything — a real renaissance kind of a person. My mom and I would sit on the back porch, and the whole point of sitting there was to create stuff. And [I remember thinking] if we could invent anything, what would we invent?
What helps you in your quest for new ways to see?
What motivates me is this sense of certainty that people have. I think if my work is trying to do anything, it's trying to create a little bit more uncertainty, because I think through uncertainty comes understanding. Ultimately, I use science and other forms of interacting with people (whether it's art, music, or any other medium) to inspire a more compassionate view of nature and human nature.
You are described as an artist-scientist in your TED bio. Do you believe there is a need for more artist-scientists to solve socially complex problems?
Yes. But I don't see myself as a scientist or artist. I think these are different ways of communicating and interacting with people. Public art (though I call it "street science") is not about visualizing science or making science more accessible — it's about exploring an interaction with people in a different way. I call it "street science" [because] it's doing an experiment that you would do in a laboratory, you just happen to do it in a public space. You put people in a position of making discoveries. You let people find the connections between parallels.
You've been working lately with school children. What made you partner with 8-year-old's?
[My colleague David Strudwick and I] are building a school called My School so that kids can take possession of their school. We have funding for curriculum and architecture for a different way of learning and a different way of teaching. The idea is to see yourself see and to create spaces that provide the opportunity to not just respond, but to experience the process of seeing. More deeply, it's about trying to see the world differently — it's about seeing the grays. The principles of the school are community, creativity, choice, and compassion.
The reason for the four C's — and we could add a fifth, confidence — is that everything the school does relates back to, and responds to, these four principles. We feel that these are a potential consequence of being put in a situation of seeing yourself see.
What if we could create a situation where this is not just taught, but encouraged and pursued? The end result is that we create people who are far more adaptable. It's about making people who can see things from different perspectives — because that's really what we need in the future.
What type of curriculum will the school have?
We just received some funding to create what we are calling the "curriculum of compassion." It uses illusion as a medium for teaching. And the idea is that the kids are going to make an object — a glass windmill, [for example,] with all the spokes of the windmill pointing up, like a flower. The glass spokes will be prisms. When the light hits, it will refract, and you'll get an amazing rainbow. Around this object, the teacher can teach things such as ecology, renewable sustainability, design, art, architecture, engineering, but also perception, of course. When you look at the windmill, it will appear to spin one way, but when you look at it again, it will flip and look like it's spinning in the opposite direction.
More importantly, we can also take kids who just don't get the idea that people can have different perspectives on something, or that two communities can interpret something differently. And they can say, "Look, you see it spinning in one direction, but I see it spinning in the opposite direction. If you keep looking, you also see it spinning in the opposite direction." Here is a situation where you're literally seeing [something in] two different ways. Imagine this glass windmill as the symbolic representation of so much of what life should be about.

Where did you first encounter Shakespeare? Were you in a theater, seeing a play? Were you acting out a scene in school? Were you eating popcorn, watching a movie? Were you in bed, listening to your parents read a story?
"Golden Lads and Lasses": Shakespeare for Children tells the story of all the ways that Shakespeare and his tales have been presented to kids for hundreds of years. You'll see novels, plays, comic books, movies, toys, and paper dolls from the seventeenth century up until today.
Come and find out why plays written four hundred years ago are still exciting. With his witches, fairies, kings, queens, and clowns--his stories of love, ambition, and adventure–it's easy to understand why Shakespeare is for kids of all ages!

Safavieh Natural Fiber NF452 Natural Rug
Item #: 101NF452A-P Add to Wishlist
Description: Think coastal living and casual beach house style with rugs so classic they'll even work in the city. Safavieh's natural fiber rugs are soft underfoot, textural, natural in color and woven of sustainably-harvested sisal and sea grass, or biodegradable jute.
- Collection: Natural Fiber
- Brand: Safavieh
- Material: 100% Sisal
- Weave: Machine Made
- Styles: Natural Fiber Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 3' x 5', 4' x 6', 5' x 8', 6' x 9', 8' x 10', 9' x 12', 6' Square, 2' 6" x 4' and 2' 6" x 8'
I have waited for this item for over 6 months to be back in stock. I jumped at the chance the minute I saw it was available. Being an avid online shopper, I compared other rugs, looked closely at every single picture, and read a million reviews before purchasing. With that being said, when I got it in the mail, I didn't realize that there were bluish-green fabrics woven throughout the rug. (It was better than expected since our kitchen is that mint-y color!!! but if I wanted a really neutral rug, I probably would have been disappointed with the bluish/green color in it.) I originally wanted it by our entryway door, but the rug is too thick and the door doesn't open. It is now below our kitchen sink and I just LOVE the way it pops off the slate floor. I just wish I could order a matching rug for the entryway, but am afraid this style is just too thick for by a door.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Though I wasn't 100% happy with this rug, because of the thread color, I would recommend it to a friend. It is a very nice large rug, makes your space feel warm and homey.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
Safavieh's award-winning original collections range from the finest antique reproductions to the most fashion forward, contemporary rugs. Safavieh offers a wide variety of transitional area and accent rugs of both Oriental and contemporary designs. Safavieh also produces a variety of rug designs from American Country styles and 19th and early 20th Century European Art.

TriMet steps up efforts to keep panniers and buckets off bus racks
Monday, July 15th, 2013TriMet says its drivers are temporarily emphasizing a longstanding rule that bikes loaded on its bus racks ares supposed to be stripped of bulky accessories before boarding.
According to the transit agency's bikes-on-buses policy, these rules apply to "panniers, child seats or any object that could block the headlights or the operator's vision."
We heard about this after two readers sent accounts of bus drivers telling people to remove such add-ons before boarding. TriMet Bicycle Coordinator Jeff Owen confirms that it's "a reinforcement of our messaging for a while." The issue may take new importance due to TriMet's newest bus model, which improves driver lines of sight by extending its windshield almost as far down as the rack.

Publisher: Analytica
The aim of our journal is the realization of the possibility of research into the history of the analytic philosophy as well as into its main problems.
The Analytic Philosophy (AP) is one of the most influential trends of the modern Western philosophy which has at the centre of its attention the analysis of language understood as a key to the philosophical investigation of reasoning and knowledge. According to Michael Dummett, the general principles of philosophizing for analytical philosophers (the logical positivists, Wittgenstein in all phases of his career, Oxford 'ordinary language' philosophy, post-Carnapian philosophy in the United States, etc.) are the following[1]:
(i) a philosophical account of thought can be attained through a philosophical account of language;
(ii) a comprehensive account can only be so attained.
Journal's tasks:
1) To acquaint Russian specialists and all interested in the Western philosophy with the analytic tradition, which presupposes publication of translations, reviews, critical and historical essays.
2) To give to Russian and foreign authors an opportunity to publish papers discussing current and classical problems of Analytic Philosophy.

Blogging is becoming more and more prevalent in the accounting profession. Michele Golden, one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Accounting according to Accounting Today, has a blog where she lists the many accounting firm and related industry blogs currently out there. If you watch it for some time, you will notice that it is growing every month. I think this is a clear indication that the accounting industry is integrating digital content into their marketing mix in a good way.

With the Association for Accounting Marketing (AAM) Summit coming up, I thought it would be appropriate to touch on CPA firm websites. If you are interested in turning your old website into a great lead generation and marketing tool, read on for some quick do's and don'ts to get you started.
Using Hillary Clinton's "It Takes a Village," I'd like to create an analogy where your healthcare blog is the child who needs the village to be raised. One thing that every healthcare organization's blog has in common is a start-up period. During this time it is important to realize that for the most part, the personality of your blog is yet to be determined.
The jobs are plentiful and the cost of living affords a comfortable lifestyle in Newsweek's Top 10 Places in America Poised for Recovery. The three groups outlined in the article: the 'Texaplex' (Austin, Dallas, San Antonio, and Houston), the 'New Silicon Valleys' (Raleigh-Durham, N.C., Salt Lake City and urban northern Virginia) and 'the Heartland Honeys' (Oklahoma City, Indianapolis and Des Moines, Iowa) made the Newsweek list thanks to a mix of low unemployment, various sector-specific success and low housing prices for starters. Surely they aren't the only ones poised for recovery, which got me thinking... what does this mean if you're a marketer in one of these lucky locales? If a low unemployment rate combined with a low cost of living means there might be some new residents and extra money in your area, then it's time to focus on customer acquisition.

Facebook Tests Payments to Send Messages
Facebook Inc. said Thursday it has begun testing a system for users to send messages to people outside their immediate circle of social contacts for a payment of one dollar, as the company continues to find new ways to capitalize on its popularity.
In a statement posted online, the Menlo Park, Calif.-based social site cited research showing that "imposing a financial cost on the sender may be the most effective way to discourage unwanted messages and facilitate delivery of messages that are relevant and useful."
Facebook says the new test is designed to route messages sent from outside of a network of contacts around the lower-priority "Other" folder on a Facebook page, and directly into a user's "Inbox"—for a small fee.
Each message sent will initially cost $1, though Facebook plans to continue tinkering with prices.
Facebook said the new message-routing feature will only be for personal messages between people in the U.S., and the maximum number that can be sent around someone's Other folder to their Inbox per week is capped at one.
The latest move comes a few months after Facebook started testing a separate service that enabled users to pay $7 to make their personal posts more visible among contacts on the site.
Facebook, which has garnered one billion monthly active users, is also pursuing a number of online advertising and commerce initiatives as it seeks to bolster investor confidence.
After going public in May with its shares priced at $38, Facebook's stock proceeded to dip below $20.
However, the shares have risen more than 20% in the past three months, and were trading at about $27.30 Thursday afternoon.

The oil at the supper stores for chain/weed eaters etc is a low grade of oil. What is the best oil that money can buy to add to a gal of gas for my chainsaw/weed trimmer/leaf blowers? Thanks Mc! |
Follow-Up Postings:
I like the full synthetics. I first used Stihl HP (non-synthetic) and then HP Ultra (full synthetic) Stihl 2 Cycle Oils. I was happy with both of them. I have since moved on to Klotz R-50, another full synthetic. If you do a search on Klotz, you'll find alot of 2 cycle motor heads run it (snowmobiles, dirt bikes, race chainsaws, etc.). The Klotz website is not the most helpful in getting you in contact with a dealer. I number of folks I know of have purchased through KlotzlubeMN. A guy named Rick in Minnesota that sells it. I'm not sure if it is a side hobby/job or his only job. Good guy to deal with none the less. You can probably find his phone on the web, but his email I think his email is email@example.com. There are alot of other good oils out there. These are just the ones I have experience with. |
Joh: The 1st time I used Klotz was back in 1976 Racing Snowmobiles in Ironwood Michigan. Dick Trickle (From Nascar Fame) was Racing for the Mercury Factory Team. Met him in Mercer Wisconsin (Border Town) of Ironwood Mich. Over a few Beers he indicated since he went from Independent to Factory he had dropped his support from Klotz. He further advised that Klotz was introducing a Incentive Program for Independant's who would Support their Program (Winnings x 2) . Since at the Time I was Running a Yamaha "Thunder Jet Pro Mod" along with Teamate Jim Adema which also had a Incentive Program for Non_Sno-Pro (Factory) Members , I jumped at the Opportunity . The Oil then was a Caster Based Premium Pre-Mix Racing Oil (Klotz "R") vs Yamaha's Yamalube Ultra-XT (Factory Proprietary) . As Mas has indicated even back then Klotz was a World Class Supplier of 2-Stroke Performance Oils. After being introduced to their Product I utilized it within Enduro and Moto X Racing Semi-Pro Division Series Participation in Dayton Ohio & Peterborough Ontario Invitationals , actually dropping my Supplier (Bel-Ray) another Quality 2-Stroke Product . Even today I use Klotz within my Older Pioneer Chain's Saws (1967-69 Vintage). However I must admit I used Stihl Ultra on my "NEW" MS-361 until the break-in Period was Over lol . Note: Ok so much for the History Lesson ! Today I fully Support Amsoil both Mineral Based and Full Synthetic . I used within Air-Cooled Snowmobiles , Snow-blowers , Motorcycles , Electrical Generators , Chainsaws and Weed and Bush Trimmers and Lawnmowers. Other than my F-250 Diesel (Rotela-T) I use it even in 4-Stroke applications as listed above within Snow-blower and Generator & Motorcycle (Harley) Usages. There are numerous Quality Oils out there if you recognize the Spec's req'd for your application . The Convenience Factor is normally the deciding Factor . What can you Buy within Your Price Range and Locality . Just Buy the Best You Can Afford ! _ |
In the Pro Chainsaw circles, Stihl ULTRA is top. |
I think Stihl Ultra is probably the most widely used of the full synthetics but I would not necessarily say it is top. Amsoil has some users. Klotz is a kind of secret handshake oil. Something used by those in the know. There are some that use and stockpiled Mobil 2T before it left the market, which many prefer over Stihl Ultra. They still hunt the remaining quarts in out of the way places. Like ewalk said, there are numerous quality oils out there. Don't cheap out a couple dollars a year on a hundreds of dollars piece of equipment. |
Is the Echo oil any good? I got a large container of it from Depot earlier this spring. |
Jop: Yep Echo both in Mineral and Synthetic Blend another Top Shelf Oil , I believe Citgo Manufactures it . Another very Good Oil is Opti-2 I used it a few times in Weed-eaters and Chainsaw use that a Customer had . Both ran smokeless at 40-1 and 50-1 mix. Note: Mas You right with the Secret Handshake Oil , Bob Eastman the Tech Engineer and Lead Crew Chief for Polaris Racing back in the 70's used to relabel all his Oil Containers and Specialty Products during Testing lol . |
I only use Stihl 2 stroke oil (50:1) in all my garden tools regardless of brand. Works well, no problems at all. Use high octane gas and a fuel stabilizer in the winter months for the best results. |

Trade Street Post
Last updated 11/18/14
Yes, Mr. Cho, plan, strategize, find the next big move for us...and make it a big man
You know how everyone keeps saying that we need a big man or 2 to really help out in the paint? No? Perhaps you've noticed in the box scores that all of our points come from the Guards and seldom do our big men have to score all that much? No? Does anyone remember Coach Dunlap saying at Media Day that we have to be a team that is hard to scout? Was I the only one paying attention? Well then, let me just spell it out for everyone. If you shut down our guards, there's not too much that we can do on a basketball court. We might have fallen in Chicago, but there's a new name that the Bulls remember. Take the jump to see who it is.
I won't go into a ton of details on the night because losses like this, though sometimes expected, are still frustrating due to awkward substitutions, non-calls by the refs, and really good Bulls defense. To give you an idea, Nate Robinson was a major pain in our side. Jeff Adrien got the start tonight at the PF slot since we still do not have a 100% healed Mullens. It was yet another starting 5 to look at. Let me just say that Adrien may have concreted himself as our starting PF tonight. As starts go, against Carlos Boozer, Adrien not only held his own, but he actually scored our first 4 points on the night, and overall, outplayed Boozer (13pts/4rebs). For this, Adrien (14pts/10rebs/2 blocks) gets the Trade Street Post Game breaker award. I know I'm sort of ahead of myself, but with the game Adrien played, I needed to cover it first.
As for the rest of the game, we came out of the 1st quarter being down only 3 points. Then the Bulls initiated their plan of not letting our guards do crap. That usually results in the Bobcats not being able to score much at all. As we exited the 2nd and headed into the half, our deficit grew to 9. You glance at the 3rd and while some great defense was played by both sides, unfortunately, we were only able to muster 1 point more than the Bulls, pulling us within 8. As you visit the 4th, the often anemic scoring Bobcats put up 30 points. Sadly, so did the Bulls, making the score at the final horn 85-93. It was honestly one of the better played games we have been in this year. We played the Bulls hard but the Bulls had our number in shutting down our guards. Our bench was actually outscored on the night. Sessions couldn't get things going for himself, and that always is a big dent in our final numbers.
Walker = 18pts/6 assists/0 turnovers/4 rebounds
Gordon = 18pts/3 rebounds
Adrien = 14pts/10 rebounds/2 blocks
Henderson = 10pts/2 rebounds
Biyombo = 8pts/9 rebounds/2 steals/1 block
So, the road trip is now underway. This first game has positives and negatives. We held our turnovers to 10, but our field goal percentage was barely 40%. We have to hit more shots and figure out a way to get more points from our big men and get more stops. I know this request sounds like a broken record, but it is fact. I'd like to see more Gilchrist and Taylor on the floor. If we are basically a lottery bound team, why not develop our rookies? Jeff Adrien was the one guy that got well deserved time and possibly earned a starting spot. Maybe if he can keep this up, his contract may become guaranteed. He got his career high and first double-double. He's a hard worker and he embodies Tougher.Faster.Stronger. I like what I saw tonight. We may not be playoff bound, but the play out of Adrien and Biyombo were rather promising, and you can see them getting better every night.

Runway and Backstage Photos of Chanel Pre-Fall 2011 Paris-Byzance Collection
Chanel Brings Byzantine to Paris with Pre-Fall 2011 Collection
>> Karl Lagerfeld almost hosted this year's Paris-Byzance-themed Chanel Pre-Fall 2011 show in Istanbul, but instead settled on transforming the house's Rue Cambon couture salons in Paris with pillows and stained glass tables to put the focus on the clothes and for something more intimate. Besides, the show, which aims to highlight the abilities of Chanel's couture ateliers (some of the heavily embellished pieces can run $20,000 to $40,000), which will be reprised next Spring in Istanbul, anyway.
The theme was inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's Byzantine cross-adorned cuffs and the Byzantine empress Theodora: "Theodora was a circus artist who became empress, like Chanel, who was a little singer and became a fashion empress." He continued: "I like the idea of these two strong women," before adding with a wink: "You know, there's Chanel everywhere . . . I take a little idea and I make a collection."
After the show, Lagerfeld and co. were headed to Berlin by private jet, where he was set to photograph a Volkswagen campaign.

Total Body Wellness: Freshen up Your Plate |
Total Body Wellness: Freshen up Your Plate Summer is one of the best times to discover all this city has to offer in terms of produce. Read on for some insider tips as to where to get the best stuff. The average carrot travels 1,838 miles to get to your plate. That brings up a number of issues, including the cost and energy used to transport food, the loss of nutrients in the food itself and the failure to support our local food economy. So let's discuss some solutions for getting the vegetables we need to eat in a way that's great to get them. During the time it takes to get food off a farm and onto your dinner plate, it loses nutrients. So the most nutrient dense vegetables you can eat are either right in your own back yard or down the road at a farmers' market. If you're interested in starting your own garden, big or small, there are a couple resources out there that can be a huge help. One is a book called Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. Another good option for farm fresh vegetables is through a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA). In a CSA, you pay at the beginning of the season for a share of the harvest. During the length of the season you receive food. While there is some risk involved if the farm has a bad season, the converse is also true: If there is a great season, you'll end up with lots of produce. Check with your local farm to see if they offer a CSA. Two local delivery services are basically online farmers' markets — Farm Fresh Delivery and Nature's Garden Delivered. Both Web sites make it simple to pick your produce and order directly from them and have it delivered right to your door. I have clients who currently use these services and have reported that they are thrilled with the online convenience of ordering and the ease of not trekking to the grocery store every week. (For more information about Nature's Garden Delivered, check back next week for a full story in our health section.) Finally, if you haven't been to a farmers' market yet this year, it's time to get up and go. You'll experience a real sense of community that's awesome to see. Bring cash, reusable bags and as many questions as you want to ask. Here are a few of the farmers' markets you need to check out:
Farm Market of College Hill Thursdays, 3-6 p.m. Findley Market Tuesdays, 3-6 p.m. Hyde Park Sundays, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Madeira Thursdays, 3:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Milford Wednesdays and Saturdays, 2 p.m.-6 p.m. Montgomery MontgomeryFarmersMarket.blogspot.com Saturdays, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Oxford Saturdays, 7:30 a.m.-noon West Chester Saturdays, 9a.m.-1 p.m. More articles by this author

Damon plays David Norris, a charismatic young congressman who is making a bid for a New York senatorial position. When a news story about his mooning classmates at a college reunion sinks his campaign, Norris repairs to an empty hotel mens room to rehearse his concession speech. There he meets aspiring dancer Elise Sellas (Blunt), who is hiding from hotel security, having crashed a wedding party. The two share some witty banter and, after a couple of minutes, a kiss. But as this latter-day Cinderella flees down the hotel steps, David realizes he never got her name.
Imagine his pleasure and surprise, then, when he meets her on a bus, headed for his new job, and gets her phone number. But this being the course of true love, a complication ensues. Seems David and Emily were never intended to meet, and their second meeting occurs only because an adjuster falls asleep and misses his assignment. The guy, Harry (Anthony Mackie) is no angel, but he and his boss, Mr. Richards (John Slattery), have access to and responsibility for The Plan, or at least that part of it they know. Only The Chairman knows the whole thing, and he/she isnt happy about deviations from it, since human beings, left unattended, manage to produce the Dark Ages and the Cuban missile crisis, among other irrational events.
But when they try to warn off the rebellious David, threatening him with a brain erasure, he defies them. If shes not intended for him, he demands, then why does he feel this way about her? The lower echelon minder/enforcers finally have to call in Mr. Thompson, a steely, implacable type nicknamed The Hammer. When he comes down hard on Elise, David takes his point.
The rest of the movie involves getting the young lovers together against overwhelming odds. It features some nifty chases through doorways that keep opening into unexpected NYC highlights: Yankee Stadium, the Museum of Modern Art, the Statue of Liberty. Damon has had lots of experience in the Bourne series, and Blunt keeps up with him, as actor and fellow runner. (The movie has lots of running scenes, both physical and political, and a lot of odd business about hats and water.)
In making this unusual, mixed-genre movie, Nolfi appears to have had a lot of fun. Cameos by, among others, Jon Stewart, Michael Blomberg, and James Carville keep the goings lively, as does some quietly humorous dialogue. The Adjustment Bureau is rated PG-13 for some strong language, but I dont see anything here to endanger the morals of the young, though the free will/predestination discussions might lose them at times. Mostly, though, the movie is fun to watch and play along with.

Spring's Validation
Walking is often a time to contemplate decisions or recent life events but the most beloved walks are those which occur totally in the moment. If asked what I was thinking when taking a certain photo it's often like that as well. Better photos are often taken without thought or decisions but from the "gut" — in the moment.
Recent heel pain and a long allergy season left me unwilling to walk much these last few weeks but Saturday I felt the need for contact with nature and to again connect with photography, so, I headed to a local park with our dog Maggie. Foster, our other dog, has leg issues that prevent him from being as active but Maggie will willing jump at the chance to go anywhere.
My last visit to this park saw plants just beginning to bud and bloom. This visit found all the signs of late spring in evidence. Even Maggie stopped to smell some of the flowers.
Maggie was adopted as a puppy from a canine rescue center. We think in those early days she lived in fear of the other dogs and perhaps never got first choice of food. As an adult she always wants to be first or in the lead but seeks approval, love and acceptance. It took several years before she would look us in the eyes but seems well behaved and adjusted now. How much of her behavior is her nature and how much is environmental?
As a photographer I somethings consider the relationship of making photos for ourselves and a need to seek approval of those works from those who's opinion we value. Wisdom says shoot from your own values and vision but who among us doesn't want authentication or validation of our views and our labor? If there was absolutely no need of validation would we ever post even a single photo to a blog or exhibit one in a gallery show?

Either of two species (Fagopyrum esculentum, or sagittatum, and F. tataricum) of herbaceous plants and their edible, triangular seeds, used as a cereal grain though the plant is not a cereal grass. It is less productive than other grain crops on good soils but is particularly adapted to arid, hilly land and cool climates. Because it matures quickly, it can be grown as a late-season crop. It improves conditions for the cultivation of other crops by smothering weeds and may be planted as a green-manure crop. Buckwheat is often used as a feed for poultry and other livestock. It is high in carbohydrates and is about 11% protein and 2% fat. The hulled kernels, or groats, can be cooked and served much like rice. Buckwheat flour is unsatisfactory for bread but is used to make pancakes (buckwheat cakes).

The sticky thread says allow 2-3 days, more on weekends. I emailed support back in May 23, got the automated response, and nothing since. I came to the forums, saw the sticky thread, searched through the spam and trash folders (nothing) and emailed again on June 17. Wait another week, scan spam & trash folder, and find out I'm apparently shunned by TTG support.
My best guess is that my email was somehow so incredibly offensive that any rep that saw it immediately quit his or her job, thus nobody could reply to it. Otherwise, I really don't understand this discrepancy with the amazing TTG support I heard about. It actually makes me glad I hadn't bothered sending the feedback I was planning on sending about S&M season 3, because it would've been a lot more insulting had they ignored content I actually invested a lot of time and thought into.
So, what gives? On the off-chance this gets noticed (contrary to the emails), the number thingie I got from automated reply was [issue-31393].

The good thing about science
8Feb 24, '12 by brian, ADN AdminThe good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.
I love this quote!Last edit by brian on Feb 24, '12 -
1Feb 24, '12 by Ted, BSN, RNThat's a good quote, one that I might use in my signature someday. . .

certainly kills the case for lively debating, yes?

8Feb 25, '12 by Liddle Noodnik GuideWell, it is and it isn't, because what we SAY is true may change when we make the NEXT discovery about it. Maybe we should say, the good thing about TRUTH is that it's always true... lol
5Feb 25, '12 by netglowOops I guess I hit the wrong key and didn't post?!
Was agreeing with Liddle. I would add that science is only as good as the last hypothesis... after all you got to ask the right question first, now don't ya? Ask it in a slightly different way and you go down a completely different road. -
1Feb 25, '12 by Spidey's mom, ADN, BSN, RN Guidenetglow and liddle are right - science changes its mind every day about something.
one of the greatest books about this is by bill bryson (famed author of that great book "a walk in the woods"). he's come out with a version of "a short history of nearly everything" for kids too!
bill's story-telling skill makes the 'how?' and, just as importantly, the 'who?' of scientific discovery entertaining and accessible for all ages. in this exciting new edition for younger readers, he covers the wonder and mysteries of time and space, the frequently bizarre and often obsessive scientists and the methods they used, the crackpot theories which held sway for far too long, the extraordinary accidental discoveries which suddenly advanced whole areas of science when the people were actually looking for something else (or in the wrong direction) and the mind-boggling fact that, somehow, the universe exists and, against all odds, life came to be on this wondrous planet we call home.
a short history of nearly everything was lauded with critical acclaim, became a huge international bestseller and won the aventis prize for science books as well as the descartes science communication prize. it was reissued in a lavishly illustrated edition, followed by an illustrated version for younger readers: a really short history of nearly everything.

6Feb 26, '12 by Ted, BSN, RNThis may be a bit of an aside. . . but. . . doesn't "good" (and HONEST) science involve re-examining the results to tests, re-testing theories, "exploring other possibilities", etc.? Does not "good" (and HONEST) science involve strict adherance to the (please forgive me for the redudancy) Scientific Method??
I was thinking about this particular thread yesterday. (I have absolutely no life whatsoever!) Duing my ponderings of this thread I realized how important the Scientific Method is to us as we continue on as a species. . . learning, exploring, hypothesizing, re-evaluating, being curious, questioning, etc., etc. Look at where we are, today, in terms of technology and our understanding of. . . EVERYTHING! About 500 or 600 years ago, most people on this planet thought the Earth was flat. Today, we have the knowledge and ability to speak to family and friends half-way around the world. Pretty cool, huh! Of course, we are more than just "creatures of science". We have feelings, emotions, and even "values" and "morals", all of which often times seems counter to what is considered "good" science and the Scientific Method. Everything combined, though, makes us US! We think, we feel. . . and we explore, we're curious and we want to learn and want to "understand".
I celebrate this.
(I know. . . too much thinking. . . ) LOL!
Here's to science. But, also, here's to enjoying the world before us with much emotion and celebration!

I'd like to propose TwistedMatrix as portage-ng dev framework. Twisted is an asynchrone (event driven) network framework, written in python. It should allow us to : - Make portage-ng a real server (which could be run via /etc/init.d/...) - Make portage-ng modulable - Make portage-np portable (twisted is avaible, like python, on linux / BSD / windows / macos). - Make async query to the package base (which should be in a small relational DB system (like sqlite ?). - Manage roles / security - Easy write guis apps (even webapps with woven). - use the twisted unit test framework, with a build bot (greatly improve the quality of the developped product). - use plug-ins for portage (twisted has a plugin system). - Send portage events with various protocols (irc / mail / im / etc. -> twisted supports a LOT of protocols, and they are easy to implement). - And I surely forget some really cool features. I'd like to be in the dev team if you choose to use twisted. I've started an app to manage portage (current) with woven (just started the projet, so it's prepreprealpha stuff ;p ) : http://wwwetu.utc.fr/~plafoucr/gentoo/gat.tgz -- Philippe -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

Taxpayers are on the hook for $28 billion of net losses racked up by the National Flood Insurance Program since 2005. One third of NFIP's losses are from 1 percent of properties that flood repeatedly. Taxpayers pay for them to rebuild just so they can be flooded again. Insanity.
I thought charter schools were run by private companies? Why is Indiana paying off $80 million dollars in charter school loans with taxpayer money? Somebody should be asking questions.

Word on the curb is that T.I. has pulled on the plug on Tiny & Toya and the show will not be back for a third season. While this news isn't worth going on a full blown hunger strike for but I may just skip my mid-day snack in protest. Fans of the show can continue to follow Toya doing Toya shit (slow twerking in the middle of the kitchen to Magnolia Shorty, praying for Crazy Nita, popping tags, the usual) on her exciting new spin-off series.
She recently granted a lucky high school junior a dream prom experience after partnering up with Atlanta-based event planning / concierge service The Network. Gold star for you! Hit up my boy Freddy O for flicks.

Our last trip was at CBR, and we have reservations for POFQ for April.
Here are a few things to consider: - CBR IS much larger. However, I didn't find the walk to be that bad from our room in Barbados 13 to Old Port Royale (the food court pool area). We did it at least once a day. - CBR has a zero entry pool AND a kid splash area. We didn't use either while we were there, because our son was only 3 months old, but they did look nice. We did use the quiet pool in Barbados which was almost immediately outside our door, and we were the only ones using it at the time. - POFQ has queen beds instead of doubles. I'm happy that we stayed at CBR before we actually needed a second bed, because we went with a king size, and didn't have to deal with the doubles. - CBR doesn't have elevators. There are only 2 floors, and you can request a ground floor room (we got our request) but it's entirely possible that you could end up in the position of carrying one or both of your children up the stairs should they fall asleep on the ride back, in addition to anything else you may have with you. - POFQ only has one bus stop. Yeah, sometimes they share with POR, but POFQ will be the first to get dropped off and picked up. This reduces the chances of standing slightly. We really loved CBR, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, but we like to try new places. It's also good to know some of the drawbacks going in, so you can adjust your expectations accordingly.

When his high school peers were stealing their parents' cars to go to parties, Greg Leaming was stealing his parents' car to venture into Manhattan, N.Y., to get the $5 student-rush tickets to Off-Broadway plays.
"We'd steal the car, park it at a parking lot in Queens, take the subway in and run in to see whatever was playing," he said. "We'd see anything."
These days he drives his own car to the theater. He's the director of the FSU/Asolo Conservatory, one of the nation's leading professional graduate-level acting programs, and the associate artistic director of Asolo Repertory Theatre.
Leaming grew up in a blue-collar family with mother Doris, and policeman father Laurence.
"Whenever they did have money, Broadway was their passion," he says.
One such instance was when he was 7 or 8 years old, and he remembers seeing Margaret Hamilton in a production of "Oklahoma!" at Lincoln Center. Leaming tells this story at the speed one might expect from a Long Islander from Levittown.
In high school, Leaming and his fellow students went on field trips to Lincoln Center to see plays such as "Antigone" and "The Good Person of Szechwan." Leaming thinks many people go into theater because they love to make believe; they see a slightly different vision of the world.
"I think everybody in theater feels a little bit like an outsider looking in," he says. "And you want to communicate a vision of what you see."
Leaming wanted to explore the way he saw the world, so he attempted acting in New York City, but his short career run ended — he claims he was too tall.
"I think everybody gets involved in the theater starting out as an actor, and gradually people find their other skills," he says.
For Leaming, that other skill was teaching. After studying theater at Albany State University and at the graduate level at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, he opted to teach high school theater, but he found he preferred teaching at a graduate level, for which he's not responsible for teenagers' psychological development.
When the FSU/Asolo Conservatory was conducting a search for a director of the program, it wanted someone with both a foot in the arts and an education in theater. It was perfect for him, because after teaching, he spent 25 years working at regional theaters, such as the Long Wharf Theatre and the Portland Stage Company, and he always wanted to get back in the classroom. So, in 2004, he took the job that combines both.
Leaming does a little bit of everything. He works with faculty to put together a curriculum, teaches a text-analysis class, recruits a new class yearly, hires faculty, coordinates the workshop leaders, does the fundraising for the program, selects the four-play season each year and also helps develop the season at Asolo Repertory Theatre. If you ask him if he has a social life, he'll smile and say, "This is it," and he's OK with that.
His work varies from day to day. He could be doing anything from writing grants to rehearsing with the cast for the upcoming March 29 production of Asolo Rep's "The Game's Afoot," which he's directing.
It's a murder-mystery comedic farce about theater people by Ken Ludwig, famous for the successful "Lend Me a Tenor." The play centers on the late American actor, William Gillette, who made Sherlock Holmes a popular figure. Leaming says the play is "really delicious and well-produced theater." Two of the five cast members are his third-year FSU/Asolo Conservatory students. Two weeks later, April 9, the second-year students' production of "Candida" opens.
Leaming's particularly thrilled this week, because as of Wednesday, March 13, he knows which 12 students will be joining the graduate acting program next season. This year, there were more than 1,200 applications — the 12 lucky students who get admitted to the program receive a full-ride tuition and a stipend. They also get to take the stage alongside pros in their third year.
"Most students spend five to six years trying to be cast in a production by Frank Galati, and, here, it's part of your education getting cast in a production by Frank Galati," Leaming says. Galati is the Tony Award-winning director and writer who directed this season's "1776" at Asolo Rep.
After personally auditioning the students in Chicago, San Francisco and New York, Leaming selects the 12 who will receive an offer from his program.
They are passionate and committed to the craft. They must have a spark and a dramatic imagination — much like the one he shares.
"You've made it big in theater if you can actually have a career in theater," he says.
He's pleased to have one alumni touring as Santa Claus in the Radio City Music Hall Christmas spectacular and another group of his students opening up theater companies in New York and getting great reviews. He has students acting professionally everywhere — he's glad to see them develop throughout his program, graduate, then put down roots in the profession.
"The best thing a graduate can say, which one actress just said to me, is, 'I gave up my day job because I can support myself (as an actor) in the theater,'" he says.

text: Ringworm in my scalp turned to be a serious issue. It took two months for me to figure out what's into my head. Then the long four weeks of oral antibiotics with ketoconazole turned not to be successful. Now I am on itraconazole 400 mg/day. Lost so much hair, instead I got thinning, which as I read, can become bald areas soon. So to me this was the most terrible disease I have ever dealt with.

this model is also an echo cs-302.i can buy it for 50 dollars.looks good but needs a tank to carb fuel line.is that hard to replace on this model.any info on this saw greatly apreciated |
Follow-Up Postings:
Welcome to the Forum Joe ! Can't give you any feed back on the Saw ! Numerous others here on the Forum with yrs of experience . The Gas line to Carb replacement should be rather straight forward . Fishing the internal line with the fuel filter from the Fuel tank is normally the tough part. I usually bend a hook into a small piece of wire to pull it out to check the filter . Be sure to clean out your High and Low Speed Jets. I usually carefully turn the jets in (clockwise) until they just seat. Don't overtighted (damage the seat) or tip of the needle . Be sure to remember the number of turns . Normally anywhere from 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 turns. Remove the jets and carefully spray in some carb cleaner . Replace Jets refuel the saw with properly mixed gas . Never hurts to invest in a new Plug either , always keep previous plug for a back up spare . Once you have the saw running let it warm up by reving it up a little for a few seconds then see how it idles , you may require some fine tuning for the high speed and low speed later on . I normally set the idle speed to where the chain just bearly rolls over . P.S. I hope that perhaps Tom or CG can get back to you fellow Canuck on the Echo Series Saws , I have seen them advertized but have never ran one.. but for Good Luck Ty ! |

Story Highlight
See the new artwork and tracklist for The 20/20 Experience
Justin Timberlake has unveiled the artwork for his forthcoming album The 20/20 Experience.
Sharing the cover with fans, he used an online company that he has invested in, to debut the black & white cover.
'Stipple', an image tagging site, allowed Timberlake to also link to a handwritten tracklist, showing the names of the 10 tracks that will be featured, although there's no indication of of any featured artists (hover over the pic above to see it in action).
