3 Days of Peace & Music
From the critics
Community Activity
Add a CommentSeen both the original and most recently the "Director's Cut". I was too young to attend but got some sense of the excitement and importance of the event at the time through the media.
I found the camera work disappointing with too many close up shots and the tendency to focus on certain musicians-usually the vocalists. Pete Townshend and Keith Moon were just as important, if not moreso than Roger Daltrey in The Who! I also would have liked to seen all the bands who played (even if it was a single song) and just more music versus the people/activities shots. Decisions had to be made editing and what's done is done. Possibly a reason to release a long version music only (if the original film exists)?

Heat Related Illness Video For Coaches and Athletes
A new training video, informing coaches of how to protect their athletes from heat-related illness, is being filmed Tuesday and Wednesday of this week on Cabot Public School's football field.
With temperatures reaching the triple digits, everyone is at risk of dehydration or even heat stroke. Athletes are especially vulnerable, but Dr. Dirk Haselow, an Arkansas State Epidemiologist says anyone spending any time outside should be careful.
"Heat stroke is a life threatening illness where the core body temperature continues to rise, the body is unable to regulate the temperature, and they quit sweating. Because of that, their core temperature can rapidly increase to over 106 or 108 degrees Fahrenheit. In that situation it is life threatening and people absolutely need to get out of the heat," said Haselow.
The video will educate coaches on the dangers of high temperatures, and what to do if one of their students is ill.

Autodesk Inc., and NASA Ames Research Center are collaborating to research and develop new technology that can monitor and optimise the operational life-cycle of high performance buildings. Researchers from Autodesk Research and NASA will implement Autodesk Project Dasher technology at the NASA Ames Sustainability Base, a 50,000 sq ft office building and showcase for technologies enhancing efficient resource utilization, including those developed by NASA for its space and aeronautics missions. Autodesk Project Dasher is an experimental Building Information Modeling (BIM) based platform that can provide building owners and operators with insight into full life-cycle real-time building performance.
With its specialized sustainability features, and because it was designed in-part using Autodesk software for BIM, the NASA Ames Sustainability Base was an ideal choice for this research project. On-site power generation from photovoltaics and a solid oxide fuel cell provide more electricity than the facility requires and contribute excess capacity to the NASA Ames local grid. Sustainability Base also uses landscape design solutions, remediated ground water, and water reclaimed using NASA technology designed to reduce its potable water footprint by 90% when compared to a traditional building of comparable size.
"NASA Ames operates Sustainability Base not only as an attractive workspace and a high-performing facility, but as a dynamic laboratory for advancing technologies for the built environment. An accurately detailed building information model, accessible and useful to facility operators, is a critical component to managing buildings effectively. Through our collaboration with Autodesk and implementation of Project Dasher, we hope to optimize the lifecycle operations of, and achieve unprecedented operational efficiencies with, Sustainability Base while helping to contribute to industry best practices for use of BIM in building performance management," said Dr. Rose Grymes, Technical Lead for Sustainability, NASA Ames Research Center.
Autodesk Project Dasher is designed to provide the interactive building management capabilities that will enable the on-going optimization of facility function that is critical in high performance buildings. Autodesk researchers are currently engaged with NASA Ames architects, planners, researchers, and facilities engineers to develop and test the visualization and analytical tools inside Project Dasher to better address the gap between design and operations. This collaboration is part of a Non-Reimbursable Space Act Agreement between NASA Ames and Autodesk, Inc.
"Our collaboration with NASA Ames is offering a unique opportunity for Autodesk to develop, augment, test, and validate the use of BIM as a process for building lifecycle management," said Jeff Kowalski, Autodesk chief technology officer. "Through this cooperation, we are actively improving and modifying the Project Dasher technology so in the future, facility owners and operators will be able to take a more integrative approach to maintaining the complex balance between energy-saving measures and occupant comfort."
Autodesk Research developed Project Dasher in response to the growing need for tools that can help to continuously evaluate and verify building performance. The goal of Project Dasher is to go beyond existing building dashboards to represent a comprehensive framework for monitoring building performance. Project Dasher acts as a visualization hub where collected data from various sources is intuitively aggregated and presented in 3D. This can enhance the ability of building owners and operators to infer more complex causal relationships pertaining to building performance and overall operational requirements. Autodesk Project Dasher is not currently available for commercial use.

Earlier today, the Tennessee Titans released a revamped concessions menu and location alterations for L.P. Field, their regular season home a short distance from Bridgestone Arena. Partnering with foodservice company Aramark, the new additions include:
Six gourmet burger stands across the stadium (aptly named "Nashgrille"), including two signature burgers – The Nashburger (Angus beef with pimento cheese, apple wood smoked bacon and pickled green tomatoes) and The Big Daddy Burger (Angus beef, Benton's Smoky Mountain Country Ham Mac & Cheese and barbecue sauce)
Four stands offering the new Music City Meatloaf Sandwich (Homemade meatloaf with crispy, fried onions and chipotle mayo)
Four stands offering BoJangles' Chicken Tenders and Fries
Six stands offering Petro's Chili & Chips
Four stands offering the new Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich (Spicy, hand-breaded chicken breast with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and a side of blue cheese.)
With these new offerings, it begs the question as to which of Nashville's two major sports franchises now has the better concession menus? Over the last two seasons, the Predators have done their best to completely reinvigorate their stale offerings with new life thanks to Chef Wade Gnann. Of the items the Predators have introduced their fans, they include Chicken and Waffles, Glazed Asian Pork Wings, Bacon-on-a-Stick, and own version of Nashville-style Hot Chicken, just to name a few.
With Aramark and the Titans pressuring new and higher-quality food options across the river, will the Predators attempt to solidify their menu again by introducing more new options?

Tried and True Remedies for Poison Oak
March 31, 2014 by Cynthia Baum · 2 Comments
Best Ways of Surviving Poison Oak—most recently tried and found to be true. With summer right around the corner and more outdoor time being scheduled—here is a little warning for those who want to avoid a red, swollen, itchy, uncomfortable, pus-filled, raised and blistery rash that lasts about a week (and oftentimes longer). Pay close attention since these plants (poison sumac, ivy, and oak) grow everywhere in the United States (with the exception of Hawaii, Alaska, and some desert areas of the southwestern United States) and look different depending on the region. First off, Avoidance Is Key! Look out for these three-pronged leaves that tend to grow near creeks, streams and riverbeds. They sometimes have little white flowers and often grow in shaded areas of trails. Also, the leaves tend to change color in the fall, from yellow to red. If you know you will be in an area where it grows, wear protective clothing that covers skin where you could come in contact with plant. First... [Read more...]

Outer Banks Restful Retreats
March 26, 2014 by Cynthia Baum · Leave a Comment
Ready for a break from your life? Want to get away for a while? Kitty Hawk and Manteo offer just the right combination of blissfully natural settings, historic venues, rolling dunes, and endless beaches. On the northernmost beach of the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Kitty Hawk is a charming town that offers a quaint, relaxing environment that boasts a traditional village, cottage-filled beach community, and the Kitty Hawk Woods, a massive maritime forest. To this day, the origin of the name of the town is a matter of local debate and happens to be where the Wright brothers opted to perform their aviation experiments.

Today you can visit the Wright Brothers National Memorial Park and Museum, where for four years they experimented and finally perfected the art of soaring and controlling an aircraft, back...

Man has a suicidal instinct - this is one of the latest discoveries by psychoanalysts and other psychologists - just as there is a deep lust for life. One wants to live - and people are living in such conditions; just go around Bombay and see the beggars, see the people living in slums. Somebody is blind, somebody is crippled, somebody is starving; somebody has no medicines, is sick; somebody is old and still dragging, there is no point in living. But why do these people go on? There is such a deep lust for life that one can tolerate anything.
It happened.in an Egyptian monastery, a monk went into a coma. But it was misunderstood by the other monks and the chief monk; they thought he had died.
The monastery had a graveyard, underground. They simply used to open the door.and it was a deep hole, sixty feet deep, with miles of tunnels inside, because the monastery had been there for thousands of years. All the monks who died were dropped into the underground tunnel.
This young man was also dropped - and the door was sealed, because it was not something to be opened every day. Once in a while, somebody dies.but the man was not dead. After a few hours, his consciousness returned. He could not figure out where he was. By and by, he became accustomed to the darkness, started groping, and then stumbled against corpses. Then he understood what had happened, they had misunderstood: "I have fallen in a coma."
It was a disease he had suffered since his childhood but it came only once in five or six years, so he had never mentioned it to anybody. But now it was too late. He tried his best - shouting, screaming - but in a sixty-foot hole, completely closed, who was going to hear him? It is difficult to hear even if the person is sitting in front of you; who is going to hear this dead fellow?
After a few efforts, he dropped it, but he could not drop the lust for life. But how to live in that graveyard? - no sunlight, no fresh air.it was disgusting. The smell of thousands of bodies which had become rotten.but man has the capacity to survive, to adjust in any kind of situation.
For a few days it was difficult, but slowly, slowly he started eating the rotten flesh of the corpses. The hunger was too much; it was not a time for being a snob, for saying "I cannot eat this."
From the gutters of the monastery, water used to leak down the stone walls of the graveyard. He knew it was from the gutters, the dirtiest water in the monastery, but there was no other way. He started drinking from that water. And slowly, slowly he forgot about the bad smell, he forgot that the water was dirty. He even forgot about the monastery and the world; he had found a new business, a new life. First his business was to find a corpse, in the early morning, for his breakfast.
And in Egypt, since the ancient days of the pharaohs, this has been the convention. You must have heard about the mummies of the queens and kings of Egypt. Their bodies are preserved, covered with gold. And when a king or a queen died, it was not a single death. It was the death of almost fifty persons, because all the people who were taking care of the king - his physician, his masseur, his cook - everybody who was taking care of the king had to be buried with him in the graveyard because he might need them at any time, and much money, gold, precious stones, so that he's never out of money. If he needs some money, he has enough.

I am changing a small bedroom into a new craft/office/laundry room. I have a ten foot wet wall which will hold the washer, dryer, water softener and water heater. I am considering using a triple track sliding door system to enclose all of them. I assume that the softener and heater can sit back far enough so that the door covering them would be the "back door" and the other two could slide across it when I do the wash. The picture I have in my head is that I can completely expose the washer and dryer all the time if desired and keep all three doors stacked on the right third of the wall. Bifolds or regular hinged doors don't seem to be a good option for the layout because they will block a window and a pathway in and out of the room. Has anyone used a set-up like this? I'm looking for advice before I make any decisions.My husband hates sliders but I don't think he'll be using these very often! |

I have th exact same situation on my basement...how do I hide my washer/dryer/slop sink/water heater and water softener. I have not find a tripple track I could go 9 feet and use three 36" wide doors on a doubletrack....Right and Left doors sit on the rear track and Middle door sits on the fron track. I am not sure it would look good though. I am thinking of one or two sets of Vertical blinds...they are not really much more expensive. |
Johnson Hardware has the tracks but I'd like to find someone who has actually used them and pictures would be even better. |

We used triple doors to do the same thing in our master bedroom closet, (about 8.5 ft) We had two really long sliders previously, and bifolds wouldn't work for our room arrangement. We used standard 8ft interior doors and hung them on the tracks. The company that installed them for us put in an oak base, and the doors hang from tracks on the ceiling. Rather than using the triple track, we used to double tracks that are spaced to hang the 3 doors. (The company that did the installation recommended this approach - they felt it would be stronger - and were concerned that the thickness of regular doors would prevent them from sliding readily.) One thing we didn't plan for when we did this.., We had to install cross brace 2X4s in the attic, directly above where the tracks are, because the rafters weren't in the right place to attach the tracks securely. The doors wouldn't glide smoothly until we did this. It was a bit of a pain, so I'd be sure that you have a solid way to attach the tracks before you start. The stack for the triple doors is quite thick, when they are all open. We planned for this, and it is still surprised us. We had to move lighting in the closet to accommodate the tracks. Definitely like the way that they work and look. We have a another closet that is similar size that we used 4 doors in, but kept the on a double track. You can have half the closet open at a time. (Either all pushed to one side, or the pairs of doors pushed to each side, and the middle open. We like this configuration as well, and opted for it in that room because the closet was definitely to shallow to accommodate the stack of the 3 doors. Sorry, I don't have photos...(my ds is gone for the week with the digital camera, so I can't take any) |
Thanks for the info, Queeniebeanie. I'm glad to hear that you are happy with the way the doors work. It is the best solution I can see other than just leaving my washer and dryer sit out in the open. I'll have to get my husband to check into the potential structural issues. How thick is the stack? The info I saw said 5-6 inches for a triple track wchich I don't think will be a problem for me. I'm going to try to do a mock-up in the garage to get a feel for the layout. I'd really appreciate it if you could post some pictures when you have your camera and some free time. |

If you have a gas water heater, withh all doors closed, you are going to need air circulation in the closet. This isn't mechanical, but venting typically top and bottom of the door in front or closest to the unit. Out here a 24 sq.inch vent,(minimum), top 1/3 of the door as well as one placed bottom third of the door for in and out air circulation. You might want to check up with your local authorities to see what is required in your area. |
- Posted by andrelaplume2 (My Page) on Mon, Mar 16, 09 at 13:23
I'd still consider the vertical blinds...or a double track with 3 doors...which sound like what the poster above essentially did. |

CRR decision put back as commission chews on submissions
LONDON - The Competition Commission has delayed the final decision in its review of ITV's Contract Rights Renewal undertakings to the end of February because it is still considering the "significant" submissions it has received.
The move puts back the final report, which the commission had previously said it expected to publish by the end of this year, by two months.
A spokesman for the commission said: "The reason for the delay is that we've continued to receive significant submissions, which we've having to consider carefully. Unlike other inquiries we do, this one does not have a statutory time limit, so it's difficult to call time on submissions even if they come quite late in the day."
According to the commission's review timetable, it has spent the past two months considering written responses to the provisional decision it published in September.
This ruled that the CRR regime should remain in place but that some variations might be justified. However, the commission has now admitted: "Although there may be a case for change, exactly how we do it is far from clear cut."
It called for respondents to propose variations and give their views on a proposal to widen the definition of ITV1 to include any ITV+1 or ITV1 HD channel that ITV decides to launch.
ITV's outgoing chairman Michael Grade, who is officially handing over to Archie Norman on 1 January, has agreed to make himself available if the commission holds any hearings on CRR ahead of its decision.
Grade announced in April that he would step down as executive chairman but would stay on until the end 2009 to deal with the CRR review and help the company transition while it found his replacement.

Virginia Tech Hokies (12-7)
@4 Virginia Cavaliers (15-3)
Sunday, January 22
John Paul Jones Arena
Attendance: 14,021
Virginia Tech
4 Virginia
Charlottesville, VA (Sports Network) - Erick Green scored 15 points, helping Virginia Tech pull out a 47-45 victory over No. 15 Virginia at John Paul Jones Arena.
Dorenzo Hudson totaled 12 points, including a three-pointer in the closing moments that made it a two-possession contest and helped the Hokies (12-7, 1-4 ACC) pick up their first conference victory.
Virginia Tech had lost to Wake Forest, Florida State, Boston College and North Carolina to open its ACC schedule.
"We took a step forward in terms of playing through adversity," said Hokies head coach Seth Greenberg.
Mike Scott, Jontel Evans and Joe Harris all had 10 points for the Cavaliers (15-3, 2-2), who were coming off Thursday's victory at Georgia Tech.
"We struggled to shoot the ball. We struggled from the three. We even missed some layups," said Virginia coach Tony Bennett.
"I told our guys, what else can you do but take those shots? They showed tremendous heart trying to get back into the game. Even with all of that cold shooting there were still opportunities for them to win this game."
Hudson and C.J. Barksdale connected on back-to-back jumpers at the end of a close first half, giving the Hokies a 23-19 lead at the break. Green then drained a three to open the second half, but Virginia battled to go back in front later in the period.
Evans made 1-of-2 from the line near the midway point to close an 8-0 run and give the Cavaliers a 33-32 edge.
It was back-and-forth down the stretch, but Virginia Tech put together a key run. Five consecutive points, capped by a jumper by Hudson, gave the Hokies a 44-41 edge with just more than a minute to play.
Evans followed with a jumper, but after two timeouts, Hudson canned his three- pointer with under half a minute to go for a 47-43 lead. Virginia followed with a layup by Harris, then got the ball back after the Hokies' Robert Brown missed a foul shot. However, Harris turned the ball over to end the game.

You might want to go to houzz.com and search for kitchens with similar cabinetry. You might also want to post on the home decor forum....lots of helpful people there who love to suggest color schemes.... I would suggest that what you have now is very neutral and that you look for an inspiration piece....a piece of art, a plate, a fabric, whatever....that you like and around which you can build a scheme. |

Hi, I have to replace my 6-yr old LG Tromm gas dryer (it was just okay) with a new electric. I've read a lot about the new "steam dryers" with mixed reviews. Some people on this site also seem to like Speed Queens a lot. Q: What's the best overall dryer and why? Thanks! Hal |

Hal, Lots of elements to best. Questions to ask youself: Durability, ease of service, part availability: Speed Queen (it dominates college dorms, apartments, laundromats). Not low cost, white is only color option, no flashy styling, large capacity (not mega), thermostat control. My SQ works fine, I'm on a second set, gave up a flawlessly functioning one to my Mom about 8 years ago that still runs from 1991 for her second home I did put a new belt, rollers, and glide pads at the time, not because they failed, but it was easy to do for about $60, and I knew it would add more life to it. Most others: mixed reviews, but probably still OK as dryers are about the simplest appliances there are. Just not that much to them. |
I have different views for other appliances, like washers, but for dryers, the best in my opinion are the simplest. You do not need all these features and electronics. All you need is a timer and a thermostat. Speed Queens are good but very expensive and I'm not so sure they're worth a price premium just for the dryer. Check out the Whirlpool 29" with the lint filter on top. Excellent performers, reliable design, easy to work on. |

Like hvtech42 says...Whirlpool. Very simple, very reliable, easy to work on, great performance. |
I can honestly say my Electrolux Wave Touch (70 Series) Electric Dryer is amazing!! While I loved, loved my Miele T9802 Electric Dryer.....it is great being able to actually select an exact temperature, and there are so many amazing cycles & you can select the exact dryness level you choose!! It has reverse tumble, wrinkle prevent and you can even select up to 3 hours of extra tumble in case you will not be home or able to remove the laundry when it is done! I have tried the steam function in both the washer and the dryer...and honestly I do not notice much difference!! |
Wait... Why are you replacing a gas dryer with electric? That makes no sense. Gas will almost always have a much lower cost of operation. ~$1600 for a dryer like the Elux wavetouch only makes sense if you're stacking and/or need to match the washer. I am hard pressed to think of a situation where the 3 basic temp settings of delicate, perm press, and regular aren't enough. Extended tumble is not anything special or new, dryers under $500 have it. Agreed steam is useless. Laundry has gotten out of control. I'm sure the manufacturers get much more profit out of the stupid pedestals and overpriced dryers than the washers themselves! They're selling these dryers for the same price as the washers even though they are much cheaper to build and despite a few gimmicks added on, they work exactly the same way as dryers did 40 years ago! There have been no real improvements in functionality or efficiency. |
- Posted by suburbanmd (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 13:00
Couple of years ago, I bought a Whirlpool dryer that was several hundred dollars more than the least expensive ones. Undoubtedly, part of the price was for the Cabrio styling, not important to me since I don't have a matching Cabrio washer. But it's my understanding that it also has improved "cycle termination logic", meaning it's better at knowing when to shut the dryer off. In addition to the usual moisture sensing contacts, it measures both incoming and outgoing air temperatures to figure out how much moisture is evaporating. We've been very satisfied with its performance. So even though it heats the air the same way as a 40-year-old electric dryer, it is improved in functionality and efficiency. |
^You have it backwards. Many more dryers sense temperature than sense moisture. However, neither system is new. I have seen both temperature and moisture sensing dryers from as long ago as the 70s. The moisture sensing ones were usually more expensive thus, less of them in the field than the temperature sensing ones. I actually like temperature sensing dryers better than ones with moisture sensing contacts because they are a simpler design, therefore less likely to fail andI feel they do better on smaller loads than moisture sensing dryers. Anyhow to the OP if you get a Whirlpool get the 29" model. The 27" is nowhere near as good. "Advanced dryer" is an oxymoron. No dryer on the market today is advanced. Some are utilitarian, simple, get the job done. Others are flashy and packed to the brim with useless crap. Despite all their features, they won't do a better job drying your clothes or use significantly less energy than your previous dryer. |

Well, there are heat-pump dryers - but, while they are popular in Europe, only LG and Whirlpool will have them available in the US later this year. My vote also goes to Speed Queen or a 29" with the lint filter on top. |
Yeah my bad I shouldn't have said "No dryer on the market today." I wasn't considering heat pump or condenser dryers at all. I would like to learn a little bit more about the operation costs of heat pump dryers. I hear over and over again about the lower cost of operation compared to electric dryers (duh), but what about gas dryers? I don't think there are many of those in Europe. I don't think a heat pump dryer would make sense for me, because I air dry my clothes most of the time. The few times I do use my dryer it's because I need something FAST and my impression is that heat pump dryers are quite slow relative to vented ones. |
I believe the premise of Whirlpool's Senseon system is that the temperature response curve is incorporated into the moisture sensing algorithms. A thermistor is used for temp control which is more accurate than a bi-metal thermostat, and allows the control board to regulate the temp within a narrower range for faster drying performance. Be interesting to know what's the model number of SuburbanMD's unit to check how many temp sensors are shown on the parts diagram. |
- Posted by suburbanmd (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 16:54
Whirlpool describes their Advanced Moisture Sensing System as follows: "Three built-in sensors read incoming air temperature and outgoing air temperature while monitoring moisture levels inside the dryer. This helps the drying cycle end when everything is perfectly dry, saving time and energy and helping to prevent overdrying." hvtech42, I doubt that you remember dryers like this from the 1970's. The next level down, their AccuDry™ Sensor Drying System, "measures moisture and temperature levels to help prevent overdrying and automatically stop the cycle when the load is dry." So that one uses both moisture and temperature, instead of having to choose one or the other. Makes sense because small loads may not contact the moisture sensing strips consistently enough to get a good reading. My dryer, a now-discontinued model, is described as having "Intuitive, built-in sensors enabled by 6th Sense™ technology [which] automatically sense when your laundry is dry and stop the cycle so you don't have to." Not a lot of detail there. Dadoes, the model number is WED5700XW. |
All dryers have an air temperature thermostat, that's not unique to Whirlpool's systems. Moisture sensors have been featured since the 1960s, those aren't new. Per the diagrams for model WED5700XW0, there is only one operating temperature sensor, a thermistor on the blower outlet housing. A thermal safety fuse is also there which kills the power to the entire machine if the exhaust airflow gets too hot (196°F). The heating element housing has the usual high-limit thermostat (295°F) to cycle the element from getting overheated if airflow is obstructed, and a thermal fuse on the element housing (325°F) as a safety for the high-limit and protection against an element shorted to ground. That is all. Nothing shown that would read the incoming air temp. |
- Posted by laundryvet (My Page) on Fri, Aug 8, 14 at 18:42
I could see how on a small load a combo moisture sensing and thermistor could be better. But for the average large load, I don't think it does anything. How does a thermostat dryer work? Most advance the timer only when the heat is not on. Most dryers add heat non-stop until just before the cycle is done, then "cycles" the gas valve on and off via thermostat, which is opening and closing the electric circuit. If you have electronic controls, one of the following is happening during the time count down: While not perfect, the latter is not a bad concept. It is possible a quick reacting thermistor could respond quicker, cycling the gas valve circuit faster, but of course all of those hot/cold cycles will tend to wear the valve/igniter etc out faster. They can only cycle so fast before it will have a negative impact on the product functional life. Efficiency The net change in entropy Gas vs electric Bottom line: old style thermostats deliver fine value for a well loaded unit. Probably more than you want to know, but we should all be educated consumers when selecting equipment for our homes. Laundry vet |
Bottom line: these $1000 plus front load/HE top load match dryers may have a slightly more sophisticated way of calculating dry time, but is it going to make a real world performance difference? No. Trust me, I own one of these dryers myself because I had to stack on top of a front loader. It does fine, but no better than the $400 Whirlpools in my rentals, and it cost twice as much. If it breaks, parts will be expensive and it will be more difficult to work on. |
One feature omitted from the short list of features is noise level, which will be important to many but not all people. I have no idea if there's any general correlation between price and noise level (hopefully a reverse correlation), but I do know that our new fancy Electrolux is incredibly quiet compared to either the low-end Maytag it replaced, or the electric Kenmore in our old home. The only reason we went with this dryer is because of the reversing tumble feature. Whether it actually works or not remains to be seen, though there are certainly many other posts with people swearing by it. But you don't need to get this model just to stack. As indicated in responses to a thread I started several days ago, you can mix and match the washer and dryer for stacking, at least with Electrolux. As for the moisture sensor versus thermostat - all I can say is that with the moisture sensor in the Kenmore at our old house (dating back to the mid-80s), at least it was predictable on all but the smallest loads. You set it to normal dry, and you could generally count on it being dry. Not so with the temperature-based Maytag that we just replaced (dating to late 90s at the oldest). It just didn't work predictably, and we had to learn that heavier loads (e.g. jeans), particularly with cold water rinsing in winter, meant setting it significantly beyond the normal dry setting. I've never heard of moisture sensors being a common source of service calls, so I think that reliability issue may be a red herring. We had to replace the washing machine during the 20-odd years we lived in the old home, but the only thing the dryer ever needed was a new drive belt. |
True moisture sensors, as compared to thermostatic sensing, are more accurate when the dryer is installed in a non-heated/cooled space, such as a porch or garage. Thermostatic sensing is affected when the dryer is run in a very cold or hot environment. Cold ambient can cause overdrying with the machine running the heat longer to reach the target temp so the timer can advance. Likewise, I recall using a 1976 Whirlpool dryer with moisture-sensing auto-dry that was installed in a garage in Texas. Summer temps of 100°F+, particularly if the dryer was run on the lowest temp for delicates (which reached only 125°F and cycled the heat back on at approx 110°F) sometimes resulted in a damp load at the same dryness setting that gave overdrying in the winter season. A true moisture-sensing system is much less affected by temperature, with the machine monitoring moisture "hits" of the clothes on the sensor bars. Most 240v electric dryers can be wired to run on 120v, with the heating capacity reduced to 25%. A thermostatic-sensing machine would possibly never be able to reach the target temp to advance the timer, but a moisture-sensing machine would be usable. |
I believe in keeping it simple. The more complex the more expensive to maintain. 6 yrs is way to early to replace a dryer IMHO. I consider a dryer at least as long lasting as a child in your home, 18 years and time to move out. A good quality gas dryer with electronic dryness control should last a long time and perform quite adequately and economically. Maybe Im too old fashioned but I still like to pay less to do laundry at home than if I did it at the laundry mat or having it cleaned for me. |

"I would like to learn a little bit more about the operation costs of heat pump dryers." The most efficient heat pump dryer I found dries one kilo of laundry using 0.16 kWh (full load of cotton fabric with a residual moisture content of 60%). A regular condenser dryer from the same manufacturer takes 0.59 kWh. A vented one slightly less at 0.55 kWh. Not sure what the values for US dryers are, though. It really comes down to how much you pay per kWh or (unit?) of gas. Besides, the more efficient dryers get, the longer they take. Alex |

I was talking to a Miele tech guy about something unrelated today, and heat pump dryers came up. He said there was a part on them (the compresser? condensor? I don't remember the name of the part) that usually only lasts about 5 years. I don't know if he was motivated to say that b/c Miele doesn't make them, or if it's true. I'd asked about them because I'm always interested in taking the next step in energy efficiency. But I'm wary of buying one since they have no track record in the US. And I'm tired of buying expensive appliances that don't last, with hopes that their quality will match their features. (Bosch washer/dryer with great features when they worked, but too many repairs. Getting rid of them after only 12 years. I think that's much too short a lifespan, especially given their cost.) |
Whirlpool put out a press release on their new heat pump dryer, model WED99HED. The first units should be available in the US in 4Q2014. |

(2077 quotes found)
"I have already transmitted to Congress the report of the naval court of inquiry on the destruction of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana during the night of the fifteenth of February. The destruction of that noble vessel has filled the national heart with inexpressible horror. Two hundred and fifty-eight brave sailors and marines and two officers of our Navy, reposing in the fancied security of a friendly harbor, have been hurled to death, grief and want brought to their homes and sorrow to the nation."
William McKinley
"We never felt they had a case, and the courts have shown that they didn't have a basis for it."
Len Wolman
"Our position - our case - is built on clear legal precedent. The [U.S.] Supreme Court has even ruled that paintings and art prints are clearly protected under the First Amendment. Under protected speech, I don't have to get permission from anybody, including the University of Alabama, to engage in that activity."
Daniel Moore
"White founts falling in the courts of the sun, / And the Soldan of Byzantium is smiling as they run."
G. K. Chesterton
"And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four."
"Well, ... do you have any idea when I'll be going to court?"
Timothy McVeigh
"I guess we're all excited that President Bush announced his nomination to the Supreme Court - John Roberts. Bush searched far and wide before he made the risky choice of a white guy in his 50s,"

Norman Mailer has won the Bad Sex Award! What a marvelous honor for some truly amazing writing:
So Klara turned head to foot, and put her most unmentionable part down on his hard-breathing nose and mouth, and took his old battering ram into her lips. Uncle was now as soft as a coil of excrement. She sucked on him nonetheless with an avidity that could come only from the Evil One – that she knew. From there, the impulse had come. So now they both had their heads at the wrong end, and the Evil One was there. He had never been so close before.
The Hound began to come to life. Right in her mouth. It surprised her. Alois had been so limp. But now he was a man again! His mouth lathered with her sap, he turned around and embraced her face with all the passion of his own lips and face, ready at last to grind into her with the Hound, drive it into her piety.
Wow. "Her piety." That's a new one. I hope I don't see that again.
