7 Horror Victims Who Should Have Survived
Cinematic Listology By Monika Bartyzel on October 30, 2014 | Be the First To CommentThe Final Girl was a pretty great evolution for horror movies. Instead of endless heaps of screaming ladies falling victim to supernatural and human evils, some would rise above, running out the front door rather than up the stairs, finding a way to fight back rather than just blow the audience's ear drums with blood-curdling screams. But the Final Girl was just that – a girl. One solitary girl might live so that the evil had someone to fight with in future, franchised battles. The down side to having a Final Girl was that only one would persevere while many more perished – victims who were often just as capable (if not smarter, or at least more charismatic) than the ones who would live. To make the victims into Final Girls might not always make narrative sense – and indeed, can change the entire outcome of a film – but it's still fun to imagine the alternative, especially on Halloween.
William Castle and the Movie Experiences You'll Never Truly Know
Features By Christopher Campbell on April 24, 2014 | Be the First To CommentOn the centenary of William Castle's birth, I'm wondering if there could ever be another cinematic showman like him. The filmmaker is famous for his gimmicks, including the use of props and special viewing devices and vibrating seats to enhance the experience of watching his pictures (see our list of these gimmicks from a few years ago). Movies like The Tingler and House on Haunted Hill and 13 Ghosts were events, mainly for young audiences who loved the interactivity, no matter how cheesy it might be. That's something of an assumption. I can only really imagine what it was like to go to the movies during Castle's height of success in the 1960s and what it meant to have another of his frightening features arrive in town. Watching a fictionalized version of him and his work in Joe Dante's Matinee and hearing stories told in the documentary Spine Tingler! The William Castle Story can only go so far to make us understand the half of it. Movies comparably demanding a theatrical viewing are rare these days. And even while something like Gravity might come along every now and then, the fact is that seeing it on the big screen is better but not entirely necessary to get it. We've had to come to realize that we can't all watch Lawrence of Arabia or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Playtime as they were intended to be seen, so the same is understood of anything new that comes along where critics implore you to make […]
Horror Science: How Realistic Are Slasher Movie Kills?
Features By Kevin Carr on October 24, 2013 | Be the First To CommentEver since the slasher genre took off in the 80s, masked killers hacking up young co-eds has been a horror movie staple. While psychotic killers existed in movies for years (like Peeping Tom and Psycho), it was John Carpenter 1978 thriller Halloween that really popularized the concept and started a chain reaction of copy-cat films. Since then, notable slasher anti-heroes like Michael Myers and Jason Voorhees have become synonymous with horror movies in general. These franchises became extremely popular with the moviegoing audiences, but they were also the target by many various groups (including this classic Sneak Previews episode with Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert bemoaning this "disturbing new trend") for being too violent. Here at Film School Rejects, we love our horror movies, and we love our slasher films. However, we are also interested in reality, and that got us thinking: Just how realistic are kills in slasher movies?
Your Government Shutdown in Movies
Features By Scott Beggs on October 1, 2013 | Be the First To CommentIt's that time of year again. Leaves are turning burnt orange, horror movies are confusingly not being released, and the GOP has threatened to shut down the government because they failed for the 54th time to stop a law that was passed three years ago. Only this time they actually followed through with the threat (go figure), and now none of us can enjoy the leaves at National Parks or watch NASA launch stuff into orbit. Unsurprisingly, the concept of the government shutting down (or at least this version of a shut down) isn't well represented in movies because of how breathtakingly uncinematic it is. When we want to see a political crisis on screen, we demand that Harrison Ford punch a terrorist off of Air Force One or Denzel Washington get brainwashed. That doesn't stop films from tiptoeing around the periphery or taking a central role in this current freeze. Whether directly referenced by politicians or symbolically evoked by our collective subconscious, movies are here to help us make sense of it all and/or confuse us even further.

Watching Alfred Hitchcock's 'Psycho' as a Comedy
Features By FSR Staff on September 17, 2013 | Comments (4)Looking for any excuse, Landon Palmer and Scott Beggs are using the 2012 Sight & Sound poll results as a reason to take different angles on the best movies of all time. Every week, they'll discuss another entry in the list, dissecting old favorites from odd angles, discovering movies they haven't seen before and asking you to join in on the conversation. Of course it helps if you've seen the movie because there will be plenty of spoilers. This week, they try to paint a smile on the face of Alfred Hitchcock's most terrifying chiller. In the #34 (tied) movie on the list, taxidermy enthusiast Norman Bates struggles to run a small roadside motel, but his life is turned upside down when a beautiful young woman on the run with some money rents a room and steals his heart. When his overbearing mother disapproves, she'll threaten to tear his love apart. But why is it one of the best movies of all time?
5 Minor Characters Who Ruined Everything For the Hero
Cinematic Listology By Scott Beggs on September 10, 2013 | Be the First To CommentOne of the trickiest things for a movie to pull off is the derailment of the narrative at the hands of a character we barely get any time with. We're trucking along with a hero we like, and some plucky upstart with only a few lines of dialogue changes the game completely. It seems deeply unfair, like young Bruce Wayne enjoying his delightfully privileged upbringing when a guy with a gun in an alleyway puts all of that to an end, launching a deep psychosis and a billion-dollar franchise. Tellingly, Tim Burton and company proved they couldn't handle the random nature of the situation when they turned that grinning alley guy into The Joker. It's closure we didn't even know we needed. Since embodying raw chance is a difficult job, it's amazing when a movie uses it as an advantage, launches the story with it or hides it so thoroughly that we don't even recognize how powerful a day player was. It can also be a powerful tool in seeing how the protagonist deals with the roadblock. Some rise to the occasion, others fall off the cliff, and still others grab their toys and go home.
In honor of the release of The Internship being the largest release upon the masses this weekend, we've got it in our heads that we should talk about the film's biggest star, arguably Vince Vaughn, and try to settle the question of his best performance. Known mostly for more recent comedic work in things like Dodgeball, Wedding Crashers, Old School and the like, the Minneapolis, MN native has had a fairly long and interesting career. From his early work in television (he once had a guest roles on Doogie Howser, M.D. and 21 Jump Street) to his breakout performance in Swingers, he's been around for a while and he's done more than just speak jokes written by Adam McKay. With that in mind, we put the entirety of our career to our panel of writers, asking simply: what is Vince Vaughn's best performance to date. Their answers (and a place for your own) can be found below.
33 Things We Learned from the 'Psycho' Commentary
Commentary Commentary By Kevin Carr on March 14, 2013 | Be the First To CommentLegendary director Alfred Hitchcock has many connections to this week. First of all, this past Tuesday was "National Alfred Hitchcock Day," during which cinema fans revisit the master's masterworks. Also, the biopic Hitchcock released on Blu-ray and DVD earlier this week. Easily the most famous and most recognizable Hitchcock film was the 1960 thriller Psycho, which helped revitalize his career and changed the face of horror movies in general. Considering that Hitchcock tells the story behind Psycho, and it's based on the book "Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho" (whose author, Stephen Rebello, performs the commentary here), it seems fitting to look at this classic thriller. Rebello's commentary is available on the 2010 Blu-ray and subsequent DVD releases.
10 Iconic Props That Made Cameos In Other Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on March 14, 2013 | Comments (38)There are two reasons a movie might re-use a prop: because they have to or because they want to. Sometimes you love a movie so much you want to use or recreate a piece of it to show that love, or – if your budget is in the dumps – you just need something from the prop warehouse to re-paint and use as your own. Whatever the case, iconic is iconic, so if you are watching close enough you just might catch these one-of-a-kind props in films you wouldn't expect them to be in.
SXSW 2013: 'Bates Motel' Preview Shows Hints of 'Twin Peaks', 'Lost', and 'Friday Night Lights'
Features By Jack Giroux on March 11, 2013 | Comments (2)Who in their right mind would want to see a prequel to Psycho? Sequels and remakes have been attempted, but have failed miserably recapturing the original's magic. If Gus Van Sant can't come out looking good when playing Alfred Hitchcock, then why even bother? A producer and writer from the show, Lost honcho Carlton Cuse, attended this year's Southwest by Southwest to both tell us and show us why, premiering the show's pilot to a few hundred people. It's fair to say he answered the question of "who cares?" swiftly, mainly because of the prowess of Vera Farmiga, helping to bring real drama to the show's key relationship. The pilot has a good deal of set up, but it still allows for smaller, more nuanced moments to tells us everything we need to know about Norman (Freddie Highmore) and his mother's dynamic.
15 Great Movie Cameos Brought to Us By Nepotism
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on February 14, 2013 | Comments (2)Being on a movie set can be a blast – especially when you don't have to do anything. It's not hard to imagine that with every great actor or director there's probably a nagging cousin or sibling who wants to be part of that sweet sitting around action. And how the hell are they going to say no? Giving mom a line is a small price to pay for 18 years of guaranteed food and shelter, right? How can an actor resist sticking their kid in a shot or two? It happens a lot – so much so that the following 15 are only the tip of the iceberg.
15 Non-Festive Films That Are Technically Holiday Movies
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on December 20, 2012 | Comments (2)If you're anything like me, the same five holiday movies that run every year just aren't enough to quench that festive thirst so deeply embossed on your very soul. You need more than that. If you are like me, you deserve more than that. You are also not wearing any pants. The general rule for holiday films is that they must at least take place around the season, right? And so, if we simply twist that logic to say that "takes place during the holidays = holiday movie", then there's a lot of fun to be had the next time mom and dad come caroling. Just go right ahead and pop in one of the following…
'Bates Motel' Teaser Gives 'Psycho' a Cell Phone and a Lot of Mommy Issues
Features By Scott Beggs on December 17, 2012 | Comments (3)In 2013, A&E will debut Bates Motel, a prequel inspired by Psycho that tells the story of Norma (Vera Farmiga) and Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore). It comes from Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse and looks to have a bit of Twin Peaks inside of it. The production has released a teaser that also features some of the cast and crew speaking to their vision. It's all a bit too obvious on the marketing side, but it's not hard to imagine this being a freaky, scary exploration of a life that led to a delusional killer. And why does this look like a movie, while everything from Hitchcock looked like it was made for TV?
Review: 'Hitchcock' Takes A Stab At 'Psycho,' But Clumsily Slips and Hurts Itself
Movie Reviews By Brian Salisbury on November 23, 2012 | Comments (2)Biopics take on a new personality when the subject is an admired figure or, worse still, a personal hero. Alfred Hitchcock's well-deserved moniker, "The Master of Suspense," does little to fully capture the elevated place of regard he holds with cinephiles who count themselves devoted fans, which is to say cinephiles. Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock narrows the scope of the director's life to the production of arguably his greatest film: Psycho. The film covers the lifespan of Psycho from inspirational inception to the labor pains of production, and finally its glorious delivery. Some may balk at the idea of a Hitchcock biopic covering such a short period of the man's life and indeed only one movie from the intensely prolific director's canon. However, this seemingly reductive approach is actually quite fitting considering the turning point that this one film represented and the inherent metaphors that can then be extrapolated from the production experience. Psycho was one of the riskiest endeavors of Hitch's career. He was nearing the end of his professional life and wasn't commanding as much studio confidence as he once was. It was at this precarious era that he decided to make, and self-fund, a film that not only challenged the conception of Hitchcock as an artist, but indeed changed the landscape of film itself. The studio refusing to fund the movie fed his lifelong insecurity and the tricks employed to sell Psycho to audiences were a function of his overarching commitment to publicity. So yes, the choice to […]
Talking Scary Scores, Getting Away with Murder, and All Hallows Eve with Horror Composer, Tyler Bates
Aural Fixation By Allison Loring on October 31, 2012 | Comments (1)If you have ever grabbed your arm rest in fright while watching the recent Halloween remake or buried your face in your scarf (as I often do during the scary parts of movies) when a particular stanza in the Dawn of the Dead score made you jump, you are already familiar with composer Tyler Bates' work. With Halloween upon us, I thought it only appropriate to sit down with Bates to pick his brain about all things horror from his favorite scary movies to what he loves about composing for them to his favorite Halloween memories (and costumes.) Read on to hear about his experience working with directors Rob Zombie and Neil Marshall, how his early exposure to horror films may have set his current career in motion, and what may happen when you attend a wedding on Halloween.
8 Gruesome Movie Scenes That Made Audiences Sick
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on October 11, 2012 | Comments (15)Luis Bunuel once claimed that he kept rocks in his pockets during the first screening of Un Chien Andalou in case the crowd didn't like what it saw. Whether or not that's actually true, the audience reaction was never so bad that it came to violence. Apparently cutting open an eyeball wasn't a real biggie in the 1920s. Of course, none of that changes how ridiculously hard that short film is to watch. It's grotesque, nauseating, and a great starting point for decades of filmmakers continuing to make audiences freak the hell out. That grand tradition was continued with a second fainting at a screening of V/H/S and it's a tradition we'd like to celebrate with 8 movies that caused some strong physical reactions.
'Hitchcock' Trailer Gives Us a Glimpse at Anthony Hopkins' New Chins
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 10, 2012 | Comments (1)Whenever an iconic actor takes on an iconic real-life figure as their next role, the film that they do it in tends to be guaranteed a certain amount of hype. Questions of how much they were made to look like them and how much they ended up sounding like them are the first things that cross everyone's minds, so we all run out and gobble up those initial trailers. That's likely to be the case for this new trailer for Sacha Gervasi's Hitchcock, as well, because it features acting legend Anthony Hopkins portraying directing legend Alfred Hitchcock. How is Anthony Hopkins as Alfred Hitchcock? Is he doing an impression of him, or kind of doing his own thing? Does his jowl makeup look believable? Luckily for us, the answers to all of these questions are contained here in this trailer, so our curiosity can be sated. When Hopkins is in the makeup, yes, he looks quite a bit like Hitchcock. He seems to be mimicking his mannerisms pretty broadly, but there's also quite a bit of his own voice coming through in his performance. In a movie like this, where one celebrity plays another celebrity, complete with makeup and wardrobe, there's always the possibility that after a while the whole thing will start to feel like an overly long SNL sketch and get ridiculous, but Hitchcock passes the initial sniff test.

12 Gut-Wrenching Scenes That Are Practically Gore-Free
Cinematic Listology By David Christopher Bell on October 4, 2012 | Comments (22)Ah yes. It's that time of the year, folks. The only month where it's slightly less mean to jump out at a child while wearing a clown mask. The vandal's holiday… cretin Christmas. It really is a special time for all of us horror movie fans. So let's light some candles, get our favorite Misfits album out and start this party. They say that nothing can ever outdo the imagination – something that is most evident when it comes to terror and death. It's not what you see that scares you – it's what you don't. It's why we fear the dark. So while gore is great fun, it's nothing compared to something merely implied.

While there are some weaknesses of ladders that only laboratory testing will reveal, there are things you can check for yourself when shopping for a ladder.
With all ladders
With multipurpose ladders
With stepladders
A guide to other types of ladders and how to spot a safe model. Step-extension ladders These give you two ladders in one. You can use them as a normal stepladder, or swing the back legs up and lock them in place to form a longer straight ladder. We didn't test these this time, but in our last test we found that most met the standard with flying colours. Only one ladder couldn't be recommended due to poor catch design. Look for a ladder with catches that lock solidly into place. Diagonal spreaders are also good when using it as a stepladder, but aren't vital on this type of ladder since the extra treads along the back legs increase the ladder's rigidity. Platform stepladders This type of ladder features an extra-wide step at the top that allows you to stand fairly comfortably, or rest work tools or a can of paint. They often have a rail above the top step that you can brace your legs against. Look for a strongly built model with cross bracing and a broad, secure platform with a non-slip surface. Ideally the platform should lock in place. Small two or three step platform stepladders can be especially useful for indoor tasks, as they can be easier to stand on than an ordinary stepladder.

Apr 17, 2012 9:32 AM by News Staff (KTVQ Billings)
Montana's News Station sat down with Governor Brian Schweitzer on Monday to talk about his plans as he wraps up his final eight months as Montana's top official.
He's now focusing on his plan to address pension issues across the state and creating a health clinic for state employees.
Schweitzer says despite questions and mentions of him running for another office, including president. He, his wife Nancy and their dogs will most likely end up back at the ranch. He says he will most likely return to a position involving agriculture and engineering.
When asked about a run for Congress in 2014, he says Washington does not interest him.
"Not only does the United States Congress not intrigue me, on most days it disgusts me. Montana has demonstrated you can challenge expenses and you can run budget surpluses and Washington DC has demonstrated, whether it's Republicans or Democrats in charge that they just spend more money. They just push as much money out as possible and it does appear that people get elected and then reelected by trying to bribe people with their own money, and there's got to be a stop to that. You can challenge expenses. You can decrease the cost and delivery of programs. It's not about cutting programs. They could do just like the state of Montana has done, challenge expenses and delivery more for less."
Schweitzer is heading to New York City this week and will appear on CBS's Late Show with David Letterman Wednesday the 25th. He will be handing out Montana Made products to New Yorkers promoting the new direct flight from New York to Bozeman.

The government's principal scientific advisor on Climate change, Professor David MacKay, argues for a four-fold increase in Britain's nuclear power generating capacity to cut dependence on fossil fuels and reduce the UK's output of greenhouse gases. He also says that renewable energy sources such as wind and tide power can never supply all the energy which Britain needs.
You can read a more detailed account of Professor MacKay's comments in today's Sunday Times here.
This supports the view taken by increasing numbers of both Conservative and Labour politicians that Britain needs a balanced energy policy in which new nuclear build is part of the mix.
Christopher Whiteside lives in West Cumbria with his wife and family. He was chairman of the Conservative Party's Cumbria area from 2011 to 2014 and was one of the team of Conservative candidates who stood in the North West region in the European Parliament elections in May 2014. He was previously Conservative parliamentary candidate for the Copeland constituency in the 2005 and 2010 General Elections. For 2015 and going forward, watch this space!

Andreas Moe – This Year
Andreas Moe – This Year
Beautiful acoustic pop by Andreas Moe! This Year is Your SlowStart today!
Video for the track "This Year" by Andreas Moe from his EP with the same name. The EP was released Jan 18 2013 in Scandinavia and in March 2013 world wide.
Andreas Moe is a Swedish singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist.
In July 2011, Moe made his first feature on the Avicii track Fade into Darkness. The song reached number 4 in the Swedish Singles Chart (Sverigetopplistan) – and achieved further success in Poland & Netherlands. The song was also destined for UK release – before it became wrapped up in controversy – after Leona Lewis released a similar version of the track's instrumental under the name Collide. Avicii later claimed that Lewis's record label, Syco, had "stolen" his idea without his permission. Lewis and Avicii eventually settled in court, coming to an amicable mutual agreement to release the song as a collaboration between Lewis and Avicii – meaning that Fade into Darkness was dropped as a UK release.
In December 2011, Andreas Moe co-wrote and featured on the platinum selling John De Sohn track 'Long Time'. The song, which charted at number 36 in the Swedish Singles Chart (Sverigetopplistan), was released again in April 2012 on Tiesto's compilation album Club Life: Volume Two Miami - which charted worldwide, reaching Number 1 in the US Billboard Dance/Electronic Albums, Number 6 in the UK Compilation Chart, and Number 3 in the Swiss Albums Chart - as well as charting high in many other territories. Soon after, it was revealed that 'Long Time' had been picked up by LA Reid at Epic Records US as a single and was to be serviced to radio on 20 May 2012. The song is due to be released as a single in the US later on in the year.
In May 2012, Andreas Moe announced via his Facebook page that his first EP Collecting Sunlight was scheduled for digital release on the UK iTunes Store and also Spotify, on June 25, 2012. He has since received glowing reviews of the EP from around the world, including articles from famous American blogs Arjan Writes, and Music Is My Kingsize Bed.[6] The EP was also released throughout Scandinavia through Sony Music Sweden - dropping in Sweden and Norway on June 29, 2012, and Finland and Denmark on July 2, 2012.
Andreas Moe is also set to have four songs, sung and co-written by himself, to feature in Noel Clarke's latest film The Knot. The film is scheduled for UK release through Universal Pictures on October 5, 2012.
He is currently working with Tiesto, Fedde Le Grande and Avicii, and has two planned feature releases for 2012 with Eddie Theonick and Norman Doray.
Avicii's record 'Last Dance', to be released in September, features Andreas Moe as the vocals.
Andreas Moe also enjoys a successful songwriting career in and around Europe. He co-wrote the first single 'Won't You Stay' for runner up of The Voice of Holland, Chris Hordijk which peaked at number 6 in the Dutch Top 40., as well as his follow up single 'Jump From A Waterfall'. He also co-wrote the first single 'Awake' for runner up of The Voice of Belgium, Silke Mastbooms – which reached number 2 in the Belgian Top 50 charts (Ultratop 50).
In May 2012, Made in Chelsea star Caggie Dunlop wrote on her Twitter account that she had been in a writing session with Andreas Moe.
In August 2012, Andreas Moe received his first number 1 at a songwriter with Dutch duo Nick En Simon with the song 'Alles Overwinnen' in the Dutch Singles charts, as well as receiving his first Platinum record for his co-write and feature with John De Sohn, 'Long Time'.
He is also known to have written with various rising stars including new Brit boy band Lawson, multi-platinum selling producer Jake Gosling, The Voice of Holland Season 1 winner Ben Saunders, and new RnB boy band Rixton.

Black Sand Dive Retreat is an exclusive 6-bungalow quality dive resort located on a sheltered bay in its natural setting on Lembeh Strait - Indonesia's Exotic Critter Capital. This resort is the realization of a long-term dream of Bruce and Fung Moore, who have extensive experience when it comes to the wondrous adventures that North Sulawesi has to offer.
Over the past seventeen years, Bruce and Fung have made this area their home and welcome the opportunity to share with you the countless treasures of the resort, both above and below the water. BSDR offers specialized services for an exceptional dive holiday experience for its discerning guests...
Come and see what the excitement is all about!
Our superb location in Kambahu Bay means that we are right in the middle of Lembeh's best dives and most of the sites in the strait are within five minutes by speedboat. Directly off our fine black sand beach lies our exceptional House Reef, offering calm and current-free conditions so that dedicated critter hunters and shutterbugs can have fantastic dives at whatever time they choose.
Known as the "Muck Mecca", Lembeh is famous as the best destination on the planet for what is known as exotic critter diving, macro diving, or muck diving. There are two shipwrecks and an impressive array of underwater topography, including pinnacles, walls and verdant soft and hard coral gardens, but it is the plain black sand sites that make the area famous with their profusion of strange and beautiful attractions.
We have just posted a selection of photographs kindly donated by our friend Dr. Gerry Allen from his recent week with us. Just roll your mouse over the Lembeh Gallery icon to your top left. Rare species, new species and "regular" species, these fish pics show some a good variety of Lembeh denizens.

The Optio WG-1 is one half of the "....12th generation of adventure series digital cameras..." from Pentax and includes a second model with a GPS function, the WG-1 GPS. The latter camera is the subject of our review, but since they're identical except for the GPS function, we'll just simplify things and call it the WG-1. As you might expect from an "adventure series" camera, the WG-1 is a waterproof, coldproof, dustproof, shockproof compact digital.
It's waterproof to depths of up to 33 feet (1 atmosphere); coldproof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and shockproof to withstand falls of up to 5 feet. If water can't get in, dust won't either, and the camera is also designed with a crushproof construction to withstand "...weight force up to 220 pounds."
The WG-1 offers a 14 megapixel CCD sensor and 5x zoom covering the 28 to140mm focal range in 35mm equivalents. There's a 2.7-inch LCD monitor (no viewfinder), 720 HD video, face detection/blink detection/smile capture technology and 5 LED macro lights arranged around the lens barrel to help light extreme close-ups. The camera is primarily automatic, which means user-available inputs will be limited, but there is a Program Auto mode that offers access to multiple camera settings including white balance and ISO sensitivity.
The GPS function allows users to record position data when shooting still images, updates the built-in clock automatically to match local time of a particular shooting location and automatically creates and stores log data as a KML-format file onto an SD memory card. Pentax includes Windows-compatible software to help users access GPS-compatible applications and services such as Google Maps and Google Earth.
Image quality seems average-to-good, and colors are largely correct. The WG-1 acquires focus in good conditions in what seems like average compact digital time, and shutter lag seems average as well. The LCD monitor was overwhelmed by direct sunlight coming from behind at a 9AM beach shoot the first time out with the camera - a tough situation to be sure, but also a concern for a camera that will likely be used outdoors much of the time.
We'll see how the monitor situation plays out over the course of the review period. And that course is going to take us on a drive from California to Florida and back again. Along the way we'll pass through Texas BBQ country and New Orleans on our way to the Kennedy Space Center for the April 29 launch of space shuttle Endeavor, down to Key West and back through the Everglades and west coast of Florida on the way home. We'll have a complete review of the WG-1 sometime during this trek, which is scheduled to wrap up around mid-May.

How influential is billionaire climate change activist Tom Steyer?
Kevin Meynell/clcv/Flickr
Tom Steyer, founder and Co-Senior Managing Partner of Farallon Capital Management. He is one of the incentive's top supporters.
Today marks the one year anniversary of an important speech President Obama made on climate change in which he detailed plans to curb greenhouse gas emissions.
Tonight, the White House will be looking at the potential economic damage of climate change. The guest of honor? A man who knows a lot about money and the environment — Tom Steyer.
Steyer has been involved in politics for some time, working on Democratic campaigns going back at least as far as Walter Mondale in the early '80s. But he seems to really be gaining political steam now.
The billionaire environmental activist, and the super PAC he founded — NextGen Climate — successfully backed two Democrats, Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, in their election bids last year.
Steyer has vowed to spend $100 million or more to influence gubernatorial and U.S. Senate contests across the U.S. this November. He also opposes the Keystone XL oil pipeline project, which would bring oil from Canada to the Gulf Coast. The Obama Administration is still considering its position on the hot button issue.
How much do Obama and Steyer see eye to eye on this and other environmental issues? Looking ahead to elections this year and in 2016, how influential could Tom Steyer become?
For more on the liberal billionaire and the influence he wields, we're joined by Bob King, Energy Editor of Politico.
On Tom Steyer's past political involvement
Politico's Bob King reminds us that Steyer has supported the campaigns of Bill Bradley, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, and Barrack Obama.
RELATED: Obama heads to San Francisco for fundraising events
King points out, though, that Steyer was not as visible until after the Citizens United Case "loosened the floodgates for billionaires to spend as much as they want" on any political cause they choose.
On Steyer and the environment
Steyer has made climate change his top priority, pledging at least $100 million to support candidates who support green policies in the upcoming primary elections and in 2016. King says Steyer calls fighting climate change, "the battle of our generation."
On comparisons between Steyer and the Koch brothers
Steyer takes issue with being characterized as a liberal version of the Koch brothers. And according to King, the Koch brothers take exception to that comparison as well. But King claims, "Steyers efforts are not anywhere close to he scale of the Koch brothers' efforts."

Wisdom Teeth and Extractions
Why Your Tooth May Need to Be Extracted
Sometimes, due to the severity of the dental trauma or the failure of a restoration procedure, your tooth will need to be extracted. Most dentists will do everything to save the teeth of their patients. Tooth roots are vital to the health of jaw bone, it's always better to keep your teeth whenever possible.
However, the healthiest option may be to remove the troublesome tooth. In addition, many dentists will remove wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, especially since their late eruption can cause problems with your other permanent teeth.
If your teeth require extraction, then the procedure is fairly simple. The patient usually receives a topical numbing agent, or an injectable anesthetic. Once the tooth is removed, a dentist may give you a prescription for an antibiotic and after-care instructions that include applying cold compresses to the cheek nearest the extraction point.
More about Wisdom Teeth
Scientists have postulated that wisdom teeth are leftovers from when our ancestors needed the extra teeth to chew on the coarse, raw food of earlier times.
Many people experience problems from wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth can crowd other teeth, create improper bites, and get infected. Sometimes, wisdom teeth only emerge partially, or not at all, and become impacted.
Impacted wisdom teeth often cause severe pain, and harm your oral health. They're difficult to brush and floss, which makes it easy for bacteria and food particles to become lodged inside and around the teeth. Many people get their wisdom teeth extracted to ensure that they don't have dental problems later on.

Rate shown includes Good Sam discount. This is a great park. Yes, it is right off of I-5, but the traffic noise was not an issue. We heard trains in the distance, but not close enough to be an issue either. This park is well cared for, the grounds and the buildings. We were just staying one night on our journey south, so wanted a quick in/out that did not require us to perform a major leveling operation and would also allow us to leave the tow hooked up for a quick getaway. We had a nice long and level pad that accommodated out 40' motorhome and tow. Wonderful bathrooms and showers, very clean and nice. We will definitely stay here again during our north/south travels. - Vectra Travelers
This park is gorgeous...obvious pride in ownership...well looked after...large sites, paved roads and concrete pads to park unit...we were fortunate enough to be backed on to a pond with a fountain. Would definetly recommend. Only small drawback is utility post is about center of the pad...if your power is at the back you may need an extention cord or park may supply. - SeniorRVR
We have stopped here many times and we always enjoy it, especially because of the long spaces, wide open feel and neat and clean premises. Enjoyed our stay again. WiFi a little slow because park was full. Showers take a few minutes to warm up. Dog wash is still $5.00 which is a good reason to stop and wash a large dog. Food Maxx is within walking distance. Highly recommend to anyone in an RV. - saturn7

Excellent check in service. Campground has 16 overnight sites according to their website. Mostly long term residents. We had a long level pull thru 50 amp site for $12.50 with 50% Passport America discount. Easy access to I-5. Good for an overnight stay. If you have children there are no activities to keep them occupied. We would probably stay here again. - lstaff

A lovely park. Easy access to I-5, but not noisy. Pull through sites with full hook ups and 50 amp service if you need it (for $4 extra per night). Clean with small grassy areas at each site. Cable and free WiFi. The owners were very helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we were in the area. Nice park with a lot of amenities at a reasonable price. - RV Wizards
Paid extra for the 50 amps because it was so hot. Good pull-through, though having all utilities in the back makes it hard with car being towed. Quiet because you are away from the highway. Have stayed before and will probably stay again going up or down I-5. - PugetSound
Excellent park!! Close to the freeway, but very quiet at night. Beautiful grounds - very well maintained. Restrooms and showers are exceptionally clean. There is a rather new Dollar General next door that is very convenient for travelers. This is our favorite spot in this area, and we will definitely stay here again. - HappyCamperAlso

This pleasant US National Forest-run campground is set in a wooded park near the Sacramento River. There are sites for small rigs, and pull-through semi-circle sites and some back-ins for larger rigs. Some have complained about the tight squeeze, which mostly means you have to drive over some grass to make the rig fit, but nothing too arduous in our experience with our 35-ft 5th wheel. It is a treed park, so only a couple of sites will get satellite. There's no Wi-Fi or cable TV, but our Verizon 4G worked well and there were several TV channels that came in over the digital antenna. A gate to the park closes 10PM-6AM, so late arrivals should get the gate code in advance by calling the number shown on this listing and have them give you the camp host phone if they don't know it. We had a pleasant stay, and it was a weekend, the only noise coming from a family reunion that took up 3 sites. The cost is $25 for RV hookup sites, and those with the US senior citizens or disabled National Parks passes get half off. That was confusing because signs say "Lands Pass" is accepted, which is the common $80 America the Beautiful" National Lands Pass. But, alas, no. They need to change the signs to avoid confusion; or I guess until they change the signs just take the discount and don't ask the camp host to clarify it like we did! The campsites offer water and electric (we had 50 amp at our pull-through that worked well, no voltage problems). We did not use the restroom/shower facility. However, the fatal flaw of this campground is there is no sewer or dump station. A sign at the entrance mentions a nearby fairgrounds with $8 cost, however, without specific instructions of where to go to dump we didn't want to drive in and get stuck, so we ended up dumping along our route at a Chevron mini mart (found on sanidumps.com) in north Redding, 5425 Mountain View Drive, for $5 (free with $100 gas purchase they said). The RV parks in town were all going to charge $10. So, add that to your cost of staying here as well. A series of paved paths lead through a beautiful oak woodland/meadow in a loop, and along a flood bypass of the Sacramento River, which was dry when we were there. The main river channel also passes the park, and there is a boat launch facility where you can boat downstream of the large diversion dam. The paths total about 4 miles and allow bikes except for one nature trail. We rode the trails to the north trailhead, which leads to the quiet Sales Road that accesses the park, and then rode on sidewalks across the flood channel, I-5 and the main channel (a scenic view from that bridge) into historic Red Bluff. It's a very pleasant town, with restored shops on Main Street, and a few blocks of Victorians on Washington Street. We rode along the river for a bit in the Red Bluff City Park, and up a stream channel, doing a loop through downtown, for a total of about 10 miles including the park trails. All in all, we would return, but it's not the deal that we were hoping for based on other reviews, especially taking into account the cost of dumping elsewhere. - User361
Normal rate for a W/E site would be $25, but the annual pass for the National Parks gives you a 50% discount! Sites are paved and level but a little on the small side. Our rig is 51' combined and filled the pull through site completely. Hookups in good shape. Just a few miles from the interstate exit but very quiet at night. Verizon signal was good. Very nice hiking and biking trails right off the campground. Unbeatable value for money deal. We'll be back whenever travelling through the area. - TheSchweitzers
This is a nice federal park and the rate was $12.50/night for power with the federal geezer card. It is right next to the Sacramento River and has some extensive bike and hiking trails that run through the park. The roads and sites are paved. We grabbed one of the electric sites and found that it had a bad leg on the 50 amp, and no ground (be sure and always test before you plug in). We moved to another electric site and it worked fine. The problem was fixed a couple of days latter. Verizon Wi-Fi works sort of. It seems to do OK in the morning but gets extremely slow at night. The showers have a code that you get from the host and cost 25 cents for 2-3 mins but the water is hot. The area is pretty quiet and it's a pleasant campground. If you have a boat, the ramps are very close. All in all, this is a nice spot and the only down side I see is that there is no dump station. I'd stay here again. - pumper9x9

Pyre (焔 Homura?, "Blaze"[1]) is a base eres that appears in Tales of Legendia.
[show]Arte Description and History
When this arte is used, the character thrusts his dagger into the ground and concentrates on the enemy. After a delay of approximately two seconds, fire bursts from the ground, and the dagger flies back into the character's hand. Although this is a powerful eres, Pyre has a long activation delay that enables enemies to escape the effect range of the attack easily, or to cancel the attack before it activates by attacking the character.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A major Yahoo Inc. shareholder is recruiting company co-founder Jerry Yang to join a crusade to oust Chairman Roy Bostock amid the upheaval triggered by the recent firing of CEO Carol Bartz.
LOS ANGELES (AP) – An activist investment fund disclosed Thursday that it has bought a 5.2 percent stake in troubled Web portal Yahoo Inc. and called for sweeping changes to the board.
In February 2010, Taylor Berger's wife introduced him to the concept of self-serve frozen yogurt.
Within half a year, he and partner Mike McCaskill had opened two YoLo Frozen Yogurt stores – one in Collierville's Historic Town Square and one in East Memphis in the Erin Way Shopping Center. By the end of this summer, the pair plan to have nine more up and running.

Another Daily Mirror promotion imminent?
Posted by Huw,Brickish Association member Jonathan visited a Toys R Us today and spotted boxes marked "Daily Mirror/LEGO" which would tend to suggest that there's another promotion imminent. The boxes he identified were of Tractor 4899, Road Roller 30003 and Lizard 7804. It may well start this weekend or next, so keep an eye out. If it's anything like the last one, you'll be able to pick up these sets in TRU and W H Smiths.

I will have to look for that when i go to town to try and get the brickmaster pirate book.
I have deleted all posts that contain rants and raves about these sets not appearing in the US. You don't see complaints from other Brickset members located in different countries who also don't have access to this promotion. Suggest you take it up directly with LEGO themselves.
I'm not sure that the Daily Mirror would do another lego give away so close to the other star wars give away. Maybe its going to be a monthly thing?:-) If it is true than i'll be getting all of them
also, theres nothing on the Daily Mirror website at the moment, probably because they're already doing another give away at the moment.
Is this the wrong place to ask, but has anyone received sets from the last promotion yet, i was away on holidy so had to mail off for them? Either way i have been wondering how i was going to get these sets -so this would be fab...its always difficult to collect city when they have all the little promo sets, but they are so good i just need to keep trying!
I wonder if its more like the darth vader promotion, spend x amount on lego and get a free set. My reasoining is that in my Norwich TRU lego is sold on the back shelves, but recently they have been making a huge lego promotional display in the main entrance area where in the past they have promoted star wars and then transformers stuff, so I think lego are going to get pride of place.
Also have you seen the lego gift shop http://shop.lego.com/HolidayShop/festivefun.aspx we are going to be able to buy something each week. Dont know if this is going to be new 2010 sets or promotional sets.
simonskluk - my package of LEGO Star Wars sets arrived yesterday morning.
Can't wait to see what other promotional sets will be included in this new Daily Mirror offer! I guess the Mirror enjoys the surge in sales they get when they do these things :-)
My package of 6 sets plus carry box arrived about a week ago, so you should hopefully get yours soon, simonskluk.
Regarding a new Mirror promotion, I agree with voyanui8768I that it seems a bit soon after the last one. Perhaps it's like buses - you wait for ages and then 2 come along at once ! That having been said, I bet the Mirror sold double the usual numbers during the Star Wars promotion, so that's a big incentive to do something similar again. I don't think a Lego City giveaway would create quite the same buzz, but it'd still shift extra papers.
Dr. D.
I've received one of the two I sent off for on Wednesday this week so it looks as if they are trickling out now.
@DrDave, I would agree about the timing although if it is popular and successful for them it makes sense to get another promotion in now just before Christmas; it was this time of year last year they did the one before Star Wars, wasn't it? [Edit... yes it was, a year ago this weekend: http://www.brickset.com/news/article/?ID=172]
Yes my TRU in Edinburgh has a huge lego display as well but no lego in it yet...will have to keep an eye out for that i think keithkram is right....lego should do a special for brickset members!
This is almost the same time the City/Creator one last year occured. I hope there are only a few good sets, as I don't want to spend another £8 on buying the whole collection, especially seeing as it is the Mirror. Were it the Mail or Sun I might be more inclined, but the Mirror is awful...
By the way, by Star Wars one came earlier this week. I didn't get the sticker sheet or poster, annoyingly. At least I got the actual Lego, though.
@legoguysw, the stickers and poster were in with the paper on the appropriate day hence not being included in the pack.
@keithkram, thanks for the info on the holiday shop. I hadn't noticed that. I wonder what the deal is? Wonder why the dates are in the wrong format on the UK shop? :-)
@keithkram and @Huw, regarding the holiday shop, the way I read it, it's not going to be models available to buy just links to ideas of models to build with your bricks - the link to get to that page on the LEGO site states 'Download inspirational ideas to make the most of your LEGO bricks!'. http://shop.lego.com/HolidayShop/
@atkinsar I see what you mean, thats a a lot of fuss for nothing on their web site.
I don't think this promotion will start this weekend - with the Star Wars one there were adverts on the tv and pictures all over the mirror website. Some people in U.K. may be disapointed but hopefully it might happen next week.
Ah, thanks Huw. I had presumed the stickers and poster would be send-offs too. Not that it matters, I'm more interested in the actual models.
This new promotion looks interesting, I'm especially interested in the tan Fedora in the Tractor set.
Nothing in today's paper, only some boring Beatles book or something. Hopefully next week, then...
@Huw, 'boring Beatles book'? Do you mean to say that you dislike the Beatles? I live in the US and I love the Beatles!
''Help! I need somebody...''
The Beatles are great, I must say.
Strange, this things been pretty quiet over the last couple of days. I hope more information will come soon...
The Christmas giftshop 'surprises' seems to have just been a series of PDFs :-(
Starts this Saturday, 24th October, apparently:
Thanks freston :-)

The Cleveland State softball team said goodbye to their sophomores on Friday afternoon at Lady Cougar Field as they split their doubleheader with Southwest Tennessee in the regular season finale.
After the teams split a pair of games on Thursday, the Lady Cougars took game one by a final score of 6-1 while the Lady Saluquis used a late inning comeback in game two to take a 2-0 win and salvage a split for the day and the series.
The Lady Cougars struck first with a pair of runs in their first turn at the plate. Sara O'Rear started the rally with a double and later scored on a sacrifice fly from Emily Huston while Perry Hindi doubled in a run for a 2-0 lead.
The Lady Saluqis got one of those runs back in their half of the second as Alex Stanford singled in a run, but after that it was all Cleveland State.
Hindi doubled in another run in the third while four singles in the fourth pushed two more runs across as O'Rear singled in both runs for a 5-1 advantage. Huston put the finishing touches on game one with an RBI triple in the fifth as the home team secured the win.
Ida Watson tossed a gem for the Lady Cougars (21-27, 16-20) scattering six hits along the way to pick up the win. Taylor Thomas took the loss for Southwest Tennessee (12-42, 6-30).
Game two was a good old fashioned pitcher's duel as Kayla Wright for Southwest and Kelsey Haley for Cleveland State took turns hanging zeros on the board through the first, five innings.
Southwest Tennessee finally broke the ice in the top of the sixth as Dallas Chipman put her team in front with a long home run over the left field fence. Alissa Rice added an insurance run later in the frame by getting plunked with the bases full of Lady Saluqis for a 2-0 lead.
That would be all the run support that Wright would need as she quickly finished the game to get the win allowing only three hits while tossing the shutout. Haley suffered the loss while Allison Conley pitched in relief.
The Lady Cougars will now get ready for the Region VII Conference Tournament starting next weekend at a site to be determined.

Campus Crusade for Christ International is planning to change the name of its U.S. ministry, including nixing the use of "Christ" in its title.
Starting early next year, Campus Crusade for Christ's work in the United States will be done under the name "Cru." The new name doesn't apply internationally.
"In the U.S., 20 percent of the people willing to consider the gospel are less interested in talking with us after they hear the name. We are changing the name for the sake of more effective ministry," the group explained on its website.
CCC leaders said the word "campus" in the group name doesn't "adequately represent" all of its ministries in the U.S., and is even confusing to potential partners.
They added that "crusade" is also offensive to some Christians and now carries "negative associations."
"There's only one reason we'd change. We want to do a better job of connecting people to God's love and forgiveness," they said. "It's all about helping people experience the good news that Jesus offers."
The ministry insists "Cru" is not to eliminate "Christ" from its name.
"Our mission has not changed. Cru enables us to have discussions about Christ with people who might initially be turned off by a more overtly Christian name," the group added.
Leaders say "Cru" was already a popular shorthand for the ministry.
Many campuses have already dropped the "crusade" language from their chapters.

[GAMES 10] Interview with Tim Stokes, Sony Gulf
Tim talks to us about GAMES 10 and the PlayStation Move.
September is a significant month for PlayStation. In gaming terms, they've managed to pull off a great feat this month — that's launching the PlayStation Move in the UAE before the rest of the world. Now, they're at GAMES 10 showcasing their new motion control technology as well as one of the year's most highly anticipated titles, Gran Turismo 5. We caught up with Tim Stokes, Marketing Director of Sony Gulf to talk to him about GAMES 10 and what his company has in store for us in the coming months.
MEGamers.com: Tell us about GAMES 10.
The event is in its third year now and the concept originated three and a half years ago when we joined forces with Pluto, RED and Microsoft to organize this event. Instead of doing small events individually, the wanted to join forces to put together a much larger event. Initially, the idea was to hold a big media and trade preview show with a small consumer event. However, the interest in GAMES has grown so much that the consumer event has become much bigger.
The timing for this year's event couldn't be better as the PlayStation Move has just been launched and Gran Turismo 5 is set to release in Ocotber.
This event is perfect to showcase a platform like Move which really has to be demonstrated to people. For us, it's much better to do an event like this where people can try the new games and technology for themselves than invest in billboard ads on Sheikh Zayed Road.
MEGamers.com: Tell us about the PlayStation Move
We've launched the PlayStation Move with three online and four disc-based first party titles. Those are all Move Required titles which means that you'll need the PlayStation Move to play these games. The games include Sports Champion, EyePet and KungFu Rider on disc and four PSN titles including Echochrome II and Tumble.
There are also a number of "Move Featured" titles releasing which includes support for the PlayStation Move but doesn't need you to own the device to play the game. These include Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11, Socom 4, Killzone 3 and Heavy Raid Move Edition.
The beauty of the Move is that it will appeal to both regular gamers with games like Killzone 3 as well as more social/family audience with games like Start The Party and Singstar Dance. The technology is highly evolved with great depths of accuracy with three axis of movement which means that when playing a game like table tennis, you can play slice, spin and smash shorts. You also get a great deal of accuracy in games like golf.
MEGamers.com: The Move launched in the UAE before the rest of the world. How did you manage to pull this off?
We were first to launch the Move on 9th September in the UAE, with Saudi, Qatar and Kuwait having launches the following week. Sony has been very flexible in allowing us to launch the Move in this region.
We've focused on a number of mall events and the feedback has been great. The Move Starter Pack is priced at Dhs269 which is roughly the price of a regular PlayStation game. Move Required games are also very affordable at Dhs129 to 159 each. You can also buy standalone controllers for Dhs169 each.
The extra controllers are great if you want to play Start the Party with four players or table tennis with two players. Games like Archery and The Fight make is of two controllers at once.

We just replaced the ancient dishwasher that came with our house with a new Whirlpool. It takes SOOO much longer than the old one, yet it's an Energy Star. Does anyone know why cycle times are so much longer in 21st century appliances? |
Follow-Up Postings:
To get the dishes clean? I was thinking about this. If you soak a dish in water long enough, the food washes away easier. That's my take on it. |
Dishwashers nowadays have smaller pumps and lower spray volume than the water-guzzlers of the past. Longer cycle times, coupled with enzyme detergents to dissolve food soils, are thusly required to maintain cleaning performance. Smaller pumps and less aggressive spray is also a factor in promoting quiet operation. Even with longer operating times, less energy is used than older units. |
Thanks dadoes. That's good to know. |
Dishwashers need 5 elements in order to clean Time Temperature Water Chemical (detergent) Mechanical action If you lessen one of the 5 elements you need to increase one or more of the others. |
It takes a certain amount of time for a dishwasher to heat up the incoming water, especially for a "sanitizing" wash. -Roger |
I don't use the heated dry on our KA DW - us Left Coast greenies are conditioned that way, LOL - and the cycle on the KUDS30IVSS for a normal wash is 1 hr 15 min, which is only 15 min longer than my old (and terrible) 1989 Kenmore/GE. I also notice that even without heated dry, the new DW uses the residual heat to dry the dishes quite well anyway, which is nice. |
my asko take an average of 1hr 27 min to do a full load. dishes come out sparkling clean. Leave it over night and they are pretty dry. i dont waste electricity drying plastics... |
mom270, good question! I've wondered the same thing. dadoes & jakvis, good answers :) Seems backwards tho. Seems like with newer technology it would take 1/2 as long instead of 2x as long :o Monica |
You have to think of it this way. Let's say the old D/W motor used 150 watts per hour to run and to make the math easy lets say the old D/W had a 1 hour cycle. Total power used = 150 watts Now say the new D/W has a 50 watt motor. The 50 watt motor doesn't spray as hard so the manufacturer makes the cycle 2 hours. Total power used = 100 watts This means the old D/W used half again more power than the new D/W. The old D/W had more mechanical action (harder spray) and the new D/W had less mechanical action (softer spray) so it needed more time to do the same job but the motor was so much more efficient it used less energy. There's more to it of course with flow through heaters verses ring heaters, less water vs more water, etc. etc. but the above is the simple explanation. |
When it comes to math, my brain appreciates "simple" :) |
I am curious about the long wash time too. But I must say that any dishwasher I've had in the past didn't really clean the dishes... it just made them hot. Our newer dishwasher actually cleans dirty dishes. Older dishwashers would only clean dishes that were already cleaned a little bit by hand first. There is a thread about commercial dishwashers. They only take 2-4 minutes to run. But they don't clean, they only sterilize. So I guess watching TV or reading for 2 hours is better than hand washing dishes for 20 minutes. ~Jay |
One reason is that older dishwashers were designed back when hot water heater tanks were routinely kept at 140░F - pre-1990s dishwashers relied on hot incoming water and rarely heated the wash water themselves (several DWs had "sani rinse" options that heated the final *rinse* only, ostensibly to sanitize the dishes). More recently, recommended hot water tank temperature was dropped to 120░F, primarily to prevent scalding injuries at faucets and showers, but also to save energy. 120░F is hot enough for showers and usually for washing clothes, but insufficient for washing dishes in a dishwasher. So newer machines internally heat the water during the wash cycle, and sometimes during the prewash, and often during the final rinse to facilitate drying - all increasing cycle times. As with clothes washers, this is another instance where U.S. 120V/15A electric circuits have become problematic - the feeble power supply stifles the heating elements and results in *slow* water heating - taking about 15 minutes to heat the water 20 degrees, as well as longer drying times. European-market dishwashers running on 240V power heat the water so quickly that many of them draw water from the cold water line rather than the hot, and still wash and dry the dishes faster than 120V machines sold in North America. |
It takes a certain amount of time for a dishwasher to heat up the incoming water, especially for a "sanitizing" wash. -Roger |
I can't accept any of these responses as they are simply excuses to me. The thing that really disappoints me is that I don't have a choice to run a short cycle. Frankly, I rinse my dishes before they go in the dishwasher so a 10-20-minute cycle is what I want. A five minute wash and a five minute rinse would work best for me. I worked at a hotel year's ago and the Concierge suite had a dishwasher that had a cycle of a minute or two. |
I can't accept the responses as well. I have a dishwasher with a quick wash of 28 minutes, and it works just fine. The commercial washers use a much higher water temperature so it is quicker, but there is absolutely no need for 1 or 2 hour wash. Wear out the dishwasher fast? seems like it might be the only reason, no wonder appliances dont last very long any more. |
