I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping the oven looking decent with just wipe downs, but it's becoming time and I don't have any oven-domination theories or ideas. My oven is not blue porcelain and not old. I kinda used to like easy-off. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I use Easy-Off Fume Free Max in our Wolf AG range. It actually need so be cleaned. If you want to practice on mine before tackling yours.....! LOL |

cat_mom, my manual says not to use oven cleaner. I can't imagine why they would say that ... how else are we supposed to clean them? They recommend soap and water ... yeah, right! |
If I recall, we either read or were told we could use it in ours. |

I was staring at "Good Luck Industrial Oven Cleaner" at the asian grocery but left without it. I'm not sure if that was a good choice or a poor choice as I could use the luck part right now. The lucky feeling evaporated when I realized that I couldn't read the instructions or even recognize the exact language. So I took the vietnamese ramen noodles (59 cents!), made using "authentic Japanese Process" instead. It was shrimp singing to dried chilis flavor with 4 mystery packets inside. The oven instructions said to build your way up the chemical chain - starting with the least chemically treatment and then go up a step when it doesn't work. I can't see myself trying to clean it 15 times. Vinegar, dish soap and pinesol didn't work. Neither did warming a slightly damp oven. Thanks for the laugh, cat_mom. Perhaps we shall be sisters of the can. |
In the old days --- uh-oh, there's the chronic old fart warning klaxon -- we used to heat the oven to warm (about 200F), shut it off, put in a bowl with a cup of ammonia, and leave it sit over-night. Then, toss the ammonia down the sink, and scrub the walls etc. with a scrubby and dish detergent. There were commercial (i.e., restaurant and institutional grade) oven cleaners but they were incredibly caustic and a big problem for anything that was not stainless steel. (Old fashioned Lutefisk might have smelled worse, but it was a pretty close call!) The instructions for my NXR say not to use "commerciaL" oven cleaners and I'm pretty sure (and have been told) that this means the actual "commercial" products not the residential grade stuff like Fume-free Easy Off, I've used the latter several times with no apparent ill effects (basically after the massive cooking marathons of Thanksgiving and Christmas). "No ill effects" means that I have not stripped the shine off the oven lining. As I understand it it, the warnings about not using "commercial" oven cleaners refer to the restaurant/insitutional grade products, not the "residential" products like Easy Off. (Do be aware, however, that some Easy-Off products are pretty d@*& strong. So, during your stove's warranty period, you want to use the "gentler" stuff like Fume Free rather than the Extra-Strength. What I do most of the time is a modified version of what Whirlpool calls "Acqua-lift."Basically, I get the oven very hot and let a bunch of water vapor in. (Typically, by putting a CI pan of water in the bottom of the oven when I'm baking bread.) Once the oven walls have cooled past the too-hot-to-touch stage, I scrub the walls using Dawn and blue scrubbie. That usually takes care of the problem. When it does not, I use the Fume Free Easy-Off. |

Hi! Trailrunner suggested baking soda and boiling water for baked on char. It works on pots, so should work on ovens. Method: sprinkle densely with soda, lay paper towel over, pour just enough boiling water to wet thoroughly, and walk away. Overnight is good. You can also make a paste of baking soda to slather on vertical surfaces, though that's not quite as efficient. If there was a big accident, it might need repeating. This is how I got a big layer of oops off my pizza stone, which can't be scrubbed (I let it dry for a very long time (weeks) to make sure there wasn't any trapped water). I've recently been inspired by lemon juice on stainless. I'm going to try it on my racks, next. I don't know that it would be different than vinegar, but possible. Did you try heating the vinegar in the oven, the way JWVideo said about ammonia and water? |

Hey, girl! Nice to run into you. I haven't tried "fuming" with anything, but it sounds good. I use vinegar a lot with cooked on grease and foods on pots - fill article with really hot water, vinegar and a little dish soap and let it sit a few hours to overnight. Generally, whatever it was comes right off. I've used a razor blade (paint scraper) on the pizza stone. So, I'll try the pan of vinegar solution, heated to mist, wipe out after cooling a bit and see what happens. Right after I give the gods a sacrifice of pears, or something, as a preventitive. Because Bad Things® seem to be frequently connected to oven cleaning. I'd be interested to know if the lemon works on racks. |

Energy Policy, Vol. 33
Issue 4, Pages 451-465 March 2005
A difficult and persistent issue in the discussion of Clean Development Mechanism is estimating a carbon emissions baseline, against which tradable permits may be certified. This paper examines the proposition of adopting sectoral, as opposed to project level, baselines by conducting case studies of the electricity industry in three Chinese provinces. We find that complicated central planning, financial and institutional factors have been behind the declining trend of carbon intensity in electricity generation and its provincial variations.

Doggie Style Bowtique keeps four-legged fashionistas prancing with customizable accessories and homemade pet treats. Like finishing school or cautionary Homeward Bound marathons, leashes and harnesses ($32) prepare pups for polite outdoor adventures. Customizable canine collars ($30) come straight from the haute couture hands of more than 20 local designers. Pet owners can pamper pooch's taste sensors with a variety of homemade bakery goods, such as Northern Holistic wild boar treats ($12.95) or Addiction venison treats ($8.95). When canines complain of eco-anxiety, the Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff RecycleBone ($14) eases environmental fears, complements toy collections, and distracts mutts from unearthing time capsules. Fulfill feline fantasies with the upscale Katty Korner, which features enough treats, toys, and collars to make a kitten wake up for more than three hours a day.
The vets at Animal Medical Center have looked after the health of furry family members since 1947. Continuing this legacy, the center's current crop of medical professionals treat cats and dogs to services that range from standard checkups to vaccinations to life-saving surgeries. They also continuously look for new treatment options, such as therapeutic laser therapy, which can alleviate canines and felines of conditions such as chronic pain. Pet owners may also treat animals via a discounted health plan offered through the center.
When not dishing out medical care or filling prescriptions at the in-house or online pharmacy, Animal Medical Center's crew looks after pets with boarding and grooming services. They also assist owners in recovering lost pets by letting them display posters and all their pets' known aliases within the medical center.
Yappy Hour Pet Resort's 11,000-square-foot facility provides a home away from home for pups of all shapes and sizes. The climate-controlled indoor play area is scattered with pet-friendly mats and dishes of cool water but is still large enough for rambunctious canines to romp and play ironic games of Red Rover. During overnight stays, individual kennels can be decorated with your four-legged friend's favorite bedding or toys, or energetic dogs can relax in an extended 10'x30' room, which features plenty of rolling-over room. Boarded dogs get all-day access to the play area and a complimentary bedtime treat made in Yappy Hour Pet Resort's onsite doggy bakery.
• For $30, you get two full cat groomings (a $60 value). • For $35, you get two full groomings for dogs under 25 pounds (a $70 value). • For $45, you get two full groomings for dogs that weigh 26–45 pounds (a $90 value). • For $59, you get two full groomings for dogs that weigh over 45 pounds (a $120 value). • For $59, you get a 3-week puppy socialization course (a $120 value).
Good Pup founder and owner Patty Homer, who touts 20 years' experience in dog training, gets tails wagging with personalized, private lessons for all breeds of canines. Pooches learn to master commands such as sit, down, come, heel, yodel, and stay, and owners learn techniques that ensure results can be re-created outside the vacuum of Good Pup's training facility. Each of the obedience-training sessions can be scheduled at the owner's convenience, providing dogs ample time between sessions to play tug of war, go for w-a-l-k-s, and upload home videos of their owners chasing squirrels in their sleep.
Every year more than 6,500 animals enter Wayside Waifs, incapable of surviving on their own. They're injured or sick, mothers with babies, or orphans too young to feed themselves. But the shelter takes them all in. It even outsources?entrusting the youngest and most vulnerable to foster families who care for them and dote on them until they're old enough and socially ready to seek adoption.
At that point, the animals move back to the shelter. There they enjoy all the privileges of an adopted pet: dogs go on lengthy walks around a 50-acre campus, hear soothing spa music indoors, and play in a 5,000-square-foot fenced-in agility park; while cats lounge on towers in the sun room, sleep on plush beds in cage-free kennels, and play iPad games with a volunteer. As a result of this loving treatment, the animals are happy and healthy once it's time to move in with new families.

This perfume smells great, but it fades off by the end of the day. It reminds me of Bobbi Brown Beach, at a fraction of the price.
More reviews by hellokittyfan1974
I was really excited about this scent when it first came out about a few years ago. The scent on me was a nice coco nutty scent I liked at first but towards the end of the day it was more musky on me and not in a good way.
Rating: I put it on at a locker break and my old friend came up to me waving at me, she's like awwww I love that smell! What is it! Very nice smell, and with every scent, hard to describe, good for summer!
Price: $20 not bad
Packaging: Love the design! It always falling over though, but it never breaks
I'll buy it again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Great rendition of this type of scent. Smells almost identical to, the now discontinued, Estee Lauder's Azuree Soleil but at a fraction of the cost. I hope Avon decides to keep this product in its seasonal line of fragrances. Will definitely repurchase.
This is a fun scent on warm summer days. I bought a bottle two years ago and still have half left... I like it but not all the time. Nice coconut smell!
I have the regular Instant Vacation from last year, which I like on hot, summery days. However, when I smell Instant Vacation Greek Isles on the scented pages, I can almost retch!
I recently received this as a sample and had to buy the full-sized bottle. I like the coconut smell to it, but it reminds me of another fragrance I can't quite put my finger on...still a very fun scent for the beach.
i love instant vacation! smells like yummy suntan lotion and coconuts on me. i can't wait to wear this once it gets warm out!
More reviews by yearoftheliger
It smelled like an intriguing suntan lotion on everyone else. It smelled like bugspray on me.

The Fat of the Land
In the earliest days of the U.S., the frontier was a tough place to live. Surely more than one pioneer, upon reaching the rushing and roiling Mississippi river, turned to his wagon-mates and said, with a wave of his hand, "yeah, this looks like a nice place to settle, let's call it a day."
Whatever heartiness allowed people to settle successfully in the West may have been diluted by internal migration during the past two centuries, but to get an idea of how much different states vary in their residents' fitness levels, MainStreet looked at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention State Indicator Report on Physical Activity, 2010.
The report addresses a number of characteristics related to fitness – both behavioral indicators (how often you exercise) and environmental (how many parks and playgrounds there are in the area, etc.) – but boils down the principal ranking to the "proportion of adults in the state who achieve at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity or 75 minutes a week of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity or an equivalent combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity."
Here we look at the 10 states at the bottom of that list, so that the couch potatoes can go about addressing the problem.
As the CDC says, "When state officials, health professionals, nonprofit organizations, urban planners, parks and recreation representatives, school staff, transportation officials, and community members work together, their efforts can increase the number of Americans who live healthier lives, by creating communities that support and encourage physical activity."

Reports of drone sightings near other planes, helicopters and airfields are reaching the government almost daily, say federal and industry officials.
WESTMINSTER, Mass. (AP) - A proposed first-in-the-nation ban on sales of all tobacco and nicotine products has bitterly divided this small community, and health officials are bracing for an onslaught of opinions as they consider the move.
WELDON SPRING, Mo. (AP) - Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said Tuesday that law enforcement officials have been working around the clock to make sure residents and businesses are kept safe once prosecutors announce whether a suburban St. Louis police officer will face charges for fatally shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown.
NEW YORK (AP) - Americans marked Veterans Day on Tuesday with parades, speeches and military discounts, while in Europe the holiday known as Armistice Day held special meaning in the centennial year of the start of World War I.
NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market eked out another all-time high on Tuesday, but the gains were slight as investors awaited more news to give them an indication about the strength of the economy.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Let's say President Barack Obama gets his way and high-speed Internet service providers are governed by the same U.S. regulations imposed on telephone companies 80 years ago.
ATLANTA (AP) - With the walloping Republicans gave Democrats in the midterm elections, the GOP stands one Louisiana Senate runoff away from completely controlling Southern politics from the Carolinas to Texas. Only a handful of Democrats hold statewide office in the rest of the Old Confederacy.

Isn't all of this just a result of home computer internet access? Prior to that someone had to personally show you in their kitchen. You had to attend a classroom demonstration or buy a book. First Video cassette tapes arrived, then DVD's, now free flowing unlimited inexpensive internet.
Shanter's got a good point. People here often mistake honesty for "meanness." When they ask for 'feedback' they really mean "Give me Flattery."
If no one else is going to do it, I will be the one to start the "sloww clap". Anyone care to join me?

RN to BSN w/o Microbiology or Chemistry?
0Feb 21, '13 by lulainI am looking for an online RN to BSN program that doesn't require Microbiology or Chemistry. Does anyone know of anything? Thanks!
0Feb 21, '13 by klone, BSN, RNI would be suspicious of any program that doesn't require Micro or Chemistry (or at least Biochem) as a prerequisite. The materials learned in those classes are essential basic knowledge for nurses to have, IMO.
1Mar 3, '13 by BSNbeDONE, BSN, RNIf you have never taken Microbiology and have an RN license, then I would suggest American Sentinel University. Their only pre-req is an active, unemcumbered nursing license. It's all nursing courses which are 8 weeks in length. If time is the only issue, then like BrillyD said, Excelsior College has an exam-based Micro exam that you can study for and test for credit when you are ready for the exam. I did anatomy and micro this way with Excelsior. If you hope to go further than a BSN one day, American Sentinel does require Statistics with the MSN. I dare to assume that at some point, your transcripts will have to reflect micro as you climb the ladder, though. All of Excelsior's general pre-reqs are study at your own pace exams. I'm doing their RN-BSN program instead of ASU simply because I've already completed most of the general eds while I was doing their ASN program, with one more exam to go. At the time that I started this, ASU wasn't accepting financial aid as they do now and my job was not as steady with hours back then as it is now, or else I would have gotten my degree from them. But EC is great for the BSN since I was able to get Statistics done from an outside source (also at my own pace) that they accepted.
Anyway, good luck!Last edit by BSNbeDONE on Mar 3, '13 : Reason: typo; added commentlulain likes this. -
0Mar 5, '13 by lulainThank you for all the feedback. I found a college in my region (King College Online) that doesn't require micro and chemistry, and will probably go that route as they have a cohort starting soon. If it doesn't work out with King, I will check into American Sentinel for sure. Good to know there are other options. Thanks again.

Oh, sweet, sweet summertime. We love the few months of out of the year where the sun is out, weather is warm, and the Live Riveted adventures are endless. Summer is a time to take a step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and get out there and explore! Spending time with family and friends, making memories and seeing new places are all vital components of a successful summer. We love that Airstreamers get out and see this beautiful country of ours even more during the summer months, so we decided to make a monthly challenge out
The mixed CD that's a compilation of music by "divas" begins with a tune by Billie Holiday. I am in the car with my mother and we're driving to my sister's house on a back road. She brightens at the idea that we've got this female vocalist vibe going. We chat a little, but then she realizes the tune playing is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and she stops. "Is it Judy?" Mom asks over the noise of the wind coming in the windows on this gorgeous day. And then Judy Garland belts out the next line and Mom smiles. Judy's
One day back in 2002, or maybe it was 2003, I was taking a power walk down at the waterfront promenade in Hoboken, N.J. It was a gorgeous day and I stared longingly at the boats going by. Ah, to be on the water, I thought. And then it occurred to me there was no reason the ferry had to be a commuting vessel. I could just go for a ride. At this point I was literally walking next to the storied old ferry terminal. Uh, hello. Holy obvious, Batman. My sneakers led the way and I hopped on. It

Brixx gratifies its guests with a menu of casual but carefully constructed fare highlighted by a selection of artisanal pizzas. Begin the belly-filling fun with an appetizer of bruschetta ($5.95), which forces garlic crostini to shoulder a load of marinated roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and feta (add blackened shrimp for $4). Or kick things off with the savory triple shot of wood-fired pita chips with three varieties of hummus ($5.95), providing the taste-bud equivalent of getting three birthday presents from the same forgetful grandparent. An array of finger-friendly sandwiches and a quartet of pastas set the stage for a variety of pizzas.
The carpenters of circular sustenance at Jolly Ollie's Pizza and Pub furnish guests with a varied menu of cheeseworks and more. Feel free to fill abdominal aquariums with the fish and chips appetizer, a platter of three lightly breaded cod filets flanked by steak fries ($5.99). Or commemorate cartoon ocular conditions with the Popeye pizza, which sails spinach leaves through rivulets of olive oil anchored by feta and mozzarella. Meanwhile, the Maui WoWee pizza boasts a doughy archipelago of pineapple, mushroom, and canadian bacon swathed in the warm embrace of melted cheese ($9–$17). Diners looking to bookend their ingredients instead can nosh grinders such as the tangy barbecue chicken ($6.95) and the veggie supreme, which comes drizzled in italian dressing ($6.95). Like Little League games or small-claims court hearings, guests' activities are best supplemented by a goblet of domestic beer ($2.25) or premium suds such as Fat Tire, Sam Adam, and Yuengling ($3; alcohol must be paired with a food item).
The family behind Fox's has furnished their community with Italian-American comfort food since 1971. Whether dining at the restaurant or chowing down at home with the help of delivery, take-out, or catering, customers sink their teeth into pies made from scratch. San marzano tomatoes transform into a saucy potion to prime pizza crusts for toppings. Next, pecornio romano cheese imported on a dough raft joins mozzarella and specialty cheeses such as cheddar in upping each pie's savory quotient. Guests can choose from classic toppings, such as beef or jalapeño, or opt for a specialty pie, including the double-meated Deluxe and the aptly named Steak Rancher, which includes both steak and ranch dressing. In addition to stromboli and sandwiches, non-pizza options include wings.
Castrillo's Pizza surrounds its kitchen with open boxes, ready to pack up its signature pizzas for takeout or delivery transit. The staff make traditional hand-tossed and thin crust dough before topping it with a variety of toppings. 10" gluten-free crusts are available. The menu also includes customizable calzones, chicken alfredo lasagna, and honey-barbecue chicken wings topped with brown sugar, barbecue sauce, and slices of pineapple. Patrons can carry their meals straight home or settle down to eat in the courtyard just outside Castrillo's front door. For lunch, patrons can get individual pizza slices from 11am to 2pm every day. Although not valid for this Groupon, patrons can order online for delivery.
The founder of Bria Bistro Italiano teamed up with an executive chef to create a menu of Italian fare with seasonal ingredients. In the kitchen, chefs bake Italian favorites, such as lasagna stuffed with ricotta cheese, and prepare eggplant parmesan with housemade mozzarella and fire-roasted red peppers. Personal culinary flair is added by providing apricot-chutney accents, drizzles of white-truffle oil, and sides of herbed polenta fries. Servers pour glasses of wine from the extensive wine list to pair with entrees, including everything from bold reds to floral whites as crisp as a freshly dry-cleaned apple.
Michaelangelo's Pizza's cooks put a little art into every pie they make. They offer standard fare??pepperoni, sausage, ham, or all three plus beef and bacon on their meatlover's pie??alongside specialty pizzas that recreate philly cheesesteaks or chicken alfredo. They also let customers build their own pizzas, or get their cheese, sauce, and up to four toppings folded within a calzone, the baked envelope of dough ideal for mailing yourself dinner. They also offer salads and sandwiches, but for dessert they return to what they're best at: satisfying sweets cravings with a cherry dessert pizza. \

Taylor Momsen: 'I'm a Legal Adult'
Momsen, who turns 18 on July 23, tells Kerrang magazine (via Ocean Up) that, thanks to her accelerated education and a quirk in the New York legal code, she's considered all grown up. Asked if her parents are required to go on tour with her because of her young age, Momsen replied,
"No, I'm a legal adult. Whatever that means! (Laughs) I graduated high school two years early, so I'm responsible for myself under some weird New York state law."It's nice to know that Momsen is buying all of those cigarettes legally—even if her lungs aren't biologically adult.
Do you think that Momsen could actually benefit from a bit of parental supervision on the road? Share with us in the comments section.

June 30 (Bloomberg) -- South Africa's trade deficit narrowed to 1 billion rand ($147.5 million) in May as exports of commodities, vegetables and vehicles increased.
The deficit, which was in line with the median estimate of 10 economists surveyed by Bloomberg, contracted from 2.4 billion rand in April, the Pretoria-based South African Revenue Service said in an e-mailed statement today. The shortfall narrowed to 8.5 billion rand in the year to date from 13.5 billion rand the year earlier.
The smaller gap "was underpinned by higher commodity exports, specifically precious and base metals," the revenue service said.
The trade deficit has narrowed even as the rand's 39 percent gain against the dollar since the beginning of 2009 constrained exports and made imports cheaper. The effect of the stronger currency was partially offset by increases in the price of gold and other metal exports.
"Exchange rate over-valuation has exacerbated pressure on our current account deficit and increased our vulnerability to future shocks," Deputy Finance Minister Nhlanhla Nene said in a speech in Cape Town yesterday.
Current Account
The shortfall in the current account, the broadest measure of trade in goods and services, expanded to 3.1 percent of gross domestic product in the first quarter from a revised 1 percent in the previous three months, the central bank said in its Quarterly Bulletin released on June 21.
Exports rose 9 percent to 56.3 billion rand in May from the previous month as shipments of precious and semi-precious stones and metals increased by 1.82 billion rand, or 14 percent, the revenue service said. Base metals exports rose 1.16 billion rand, or 15 percent, while vegetable product shipments surged 660 million rand, or 40 percent. Exports of vehicles, aircraft and vessels increased 532 million rand or 13 percent.
Imports gained 6 percent to 57.3 billion rand over the same period, mainly due to increased purchases of machinery, electrical appliances, equipment components, base metals, plastic and rubber.
Trade figures are often volatile, reflecting the timing of shipments of commodities such as oil and diamonds.

Deadline approaches to sign up for ACRE, DCP
Producers are being reminded that enrollment for the 2012 Direct and Counter-Cyclical Program and the Average Crop Revenue Election Program ends on June 1.
"We want producers to know that DCP and ACRE are still available for enrollment," said Bruce Nelson, Farm Service Agency administrator. "Producers who want to participate in DCP or ACRE must enroll their eligible farms. We encourage them to take the time to sign up before the deadline. Electronic DCP (eDCP) is a great option for enrolling during this busy planting season."
Producers who choose to participate in either the revenue-based ACRE safety net or the price-based DCP safety net must enroll their farms each year. All owners and operators who will share in the DCP or ACRE payments on the farm must sign up by June 1.
Since 2009, producers have had the option to participate in DCP or ACRE. A producer who initially chose to remain in DCP has an option to switch to ACRE during the current enrollment period; however, producers who chose to enroll in ACRE cannot switch back to DCP.
Producers can make use of the electronic DCP automated website to sign up, or they can visit a nearby FSA county office to complete their 2012 DCP or ACRE enrollment form.

If you have the time, quickly brown the fish filets in a separate pan for added flavor. I dredged chilean sea bass filets in flour, and a little salt and pepper, and quickly seared them in olive oil 2 minutes each side then added to the sauce for poaching. Absolutely delicious!
This is a great weeknight meal. Simple and inexpensive ingredients, quick and easy to prepare with a delicious and healthy final product. Served with steamed broccoli. Fantastic!
I would definitely make this again. I work full time (plus!) and don't have a lot of time to cook, but I LOVE to eat delicious food. This recipe fit the bill for me. It was easy, and extremely flavorful. The sauce was a perfect compliment to the flakiness of the halibut. Highly recommended!
Tasty and quick. The capers are really the back- bone to the recipe as there is not a lot of seasoning. Loved it!
I couldn't believe how tasty this recipe was, given how easy it was to make! We used tilapia because we had some in the freezer from Trader Joe's and served over plain couscous. A tiny bit of harissa REALLY made it (but it was still great without). This will definitely be a regular weeknight meal for us from now on.
This sauce is worth having the ingredients on hand for lots of recipe springboarding. I loved it and made it for a dinner party. I chose to broil the fish and then add to the sauce for serving. I used cod because that was all that was available and it was a hit.

"Wow! They are so soft and yummy! More like little cakes than cookies. My mom and stepdad said they were some of the best cookies I have ever baked :)"
"They were ok. We ate them the morning after I made them and they seemed a little tough to me. They were better after we put them in the microwave for 10 seconds though. My family liked them."
"Really awesome soup if you're on a diet. Its on the spicy side, which is good because it makes you feel more satisfied. I'll definitely make it again"

India Buildings Collapse Killing 22 People
Two separate buildings have collapsed in India, killing at least 22 people and trapping around a dozen more.
An 11-storey building under construction on the outskirts of Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu state, came down, killing and trapping construction workers, during monsoon rains.
Police said 28 workers had been pulled out so far and the search was continuing for more than a dozen others.
Four of the workers were killed instantly and another seven died of their injuries later in a hospital, said police officer George Fernandes.
Another 13 injured workers are in hospital, while six others were allowed to go home after medical attention.
Police said two directors of the construction company, Prime Sristi, have been detained for questioning as authorities began investigating the cause of the collapse.
Balaguru, one of the builders, said the structure collapsed possibly due to lightning.
"Usually, once the construction gets over we install the equipment to prevent the building from a thunder strike. It was nearing completion," the Press Trust of India news agency quoted Balaguru, who uses one name, as saying.
Nearly 300 policemen and fire service workers worked overnight, looking for survivors in the debris.
Earlier in the day, 11 people, including five children, were killed when a four-storey building fell in New Delhi.
It is believed the collapse of the 50-year-old block may have been triggered by nearby construction work.
A local resident said he helped pull people from the debris before the emergency services arrived.
Ifikhar Ahmed said: "We ourselves pulled out seven people. Others have told us that they also rescued two to four people. To begin with, local residents rescued the victims and later the officials came."
Deputy Commissioner of Police Madhur Verma told reporters an investigation into the cause of the New Delhi collapse had been launched.
Building collapses are common in India, where high demand for housing and lax regulations have encouraged some builders to cut corners, use substandard materials or add unauthorised extra floors.
In April last year, 74 people were killed when an eight-story building being constructed illegally in the Mumbai suburb of Thane caved in. It was the worst building collapse in the country in decades.
A politician from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) tweeted that action was needed to stop more people dying.
Vijay Goel said: "Building collapse in Delhi brings forth need to adhere to safety requirements."

Hello all--My husband and I are embarking on a budget kitchen reno in an old farmhouse we bought. We've settled on bamboo, but I have very low tolerance for formaldehyde, etc offgassing. Can you recomend a good source for me(and I hope the answer is not "go with tile") :) Many thanks in advance! |

We used Teragren Synergy bamboo floors in our bedrooms when we renovated a couple years ago and never noticed an "off-gassing" type smell (like some of the bamboo samples we brought home). Even when we opened up the plastic wrapped boxes, we didn't notice anything. This is from Teragren's website: Teragren floors are certified by FloorScoreďż˝, which ensures the quality of indoor air for high performance schools and offices and meets stringent standards for 78 volatile organic compounds, including formaldehyde. All Teragren panels are SCS Indoor Advantageďż˝ Gold-certified, which means they've been tested to meet emissions standards, including formaldehyde, and comply with the California Special Environmental Requirements Specification 01350, which is designed to ensure health through good indoor air quality. It is also one of the United States' most stringent indoor air quality standards. I'm not sure if that's really what you're looking for, but I thought I'd share our experience with it. |

I just had about 650 square feet of Teragren Synergy delivered today (that's 2 tons, for anyone counting). DH and I moved all the boxes from the driveway where they were left into the living room where they're going to stay for a couple of days. Once there, I did notice a bit of a smell but not necessarily formaldehyde-ish. We didn't have time to take the plastic off all the boxes but will do that tomorrow. We're not living in the house. Floors will be installed in 3 days. Some of Teragren's marketing literature implies that it's formaldehyde free, but a close look at the box says that the glue they use meets or exceeds formaldehyde standards. Having said all that, my flooring guy says Teragren is the best brand out there so we'll see how it goes. |

We used these guys: Anbient Bamboo Floors. I have not smelled any offgassing, but perhaps would not. I didn't do the research on this myself, but trust it's OK -- we liked dealing with the company. |

Our floors are Plyboo strand. No formaldehyde, floorscore certified. They smelled like brown sugar when first delivered! They're super hard. Our old oak floor scratched and dented way more easily, but the blemishes blended in well. (Not so well for the bamboo.) I still love the bamboo, though. FYI end and flat grain bamboo seem wimpy to me - lightweight and very easy to scratch. Happy floor shopping! |

Sony has confirmed that NGP is still on track for release this year.
According to audio site Phile-web (via Andriasang), the company said on an earnings call today: "Regarding NGP, we're progressing with preparations towards a release at the end of the year."
There wasn't any fresh information on which territories will get the portable first, or whether it'll receive a global launch this year.
Sony has sent out some mixed messages about NGP's release so far, with PlayStation US boss Jack Tretton claiming it could be delayed because of Japan's earthquake disaster, before the company backtracked on his statements.
We expect to hear a lot more about NGP at E3 in a couple of weeks.

Where in the world can you find a ventriloquist's dummy? (there may be more than one - but I have a specific one in mind)
My gut reaction tell me that number one, I need to lose weight, :-P, and two, that it may be the Great Movie Ride.

as far as the question at hand... I agree with it being in MGM... but I was thinking it was a prop in one of the stores near the entrance. -- but I might be a bit :nuts:
Ok - you guys are in the right park - but not quite there yet...
Marty - is it in One Man's Dream?
nope - keep trying. I can give hints if you want....
It is in that place, I actually don't even know if what I'm talking about still exist......when you exit the Backlot Tour you go into that Prop Warehouse place, there were Oscars in there and things from movies......maybe in there?
I sound even more clueless than I actually am!! :dunce:
Darn it - I thought I had it with One Man's Dream.
How about MupetVision 3D?
There are quite a few dummies in MuppetVision 3D :-D but that's not what I'm looking for!
Like I said, there might be more than one place. I'm not saying there isn't one in One Man's Dream (there might be) - but it's not the one I'm thinking of.
Marty - is it in an attraction, eatery, store, or elsewhere?
It's in one of the basement exits in the Tower of Terror. It's from one of the episodes of The Twilight Zone.
He Shoots, He Scores!!
DzneyNut - that's exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you, marty!
Where in the World can you find a barber pole that is not part of an attraction or a barber shop?

UPDATE: Man in custody after standoff in Fruitvale
POSTED: Friday, November 25, 2011 - 8:24am
UPDATED: Monday, November 28, 2011 - 2:56pm
VAN ZANDT COUNTY — 38-year-old Michael Jackson was arrested Friday morning at his home near Fruitvale on attempted capital murder charges following a 10-hour standoff in which he fired more than 100 rounds.
The standoff started about midnight when Jackson called the Van Zandt County Sheriff's office to report that someone was breaking into his home.
That's when Jackson pointed his gun at officers and fired at least 100 rounds in the house.
Officers from Van Zandt and Smith County sheriff's departments, Wills Point, Canton, Grand Saline and Tyler police departments, Texas Rangers, Department of Public Safety officers, county constables, and various fire and ambulance responders worked together to bring Jackson out of his home.
Officers shot 30 rounds of gas into the house, but it had no effect.
A friend of Jackson's arrived in an armored vehicle from the Tyler Police Department and talked Jackson out of the house.
The investigation is ongoing. Officers are executing a search warrant to retrieve the guns used in the offense.
Information from The Longview News-Journal.
Van Zandt Sheriff officials tell us the standoff has ended.
It started around midnight.
Authorities say one man has been taken into custody.
Van Zandt County Sheriff officials tell KETK, they are on the scene of a standoff in the town of Fruitvale.
The standoff is taking place at a location on CR 1906, near Hwy. 80.
Details are limited at this time, but officials tell KETK the standoff has been going on for several hours.
KETK will update this story as more information comes in.

What was the Tyler Police Department doing way up there? Don't we have enough crime in Tyler to keep them busy? Maybe we have more officers than we need!
They would have had the CIA there if they weren't already busy flying drones into hospitals in Pakistan.
Let's see if we understand; Someone unknown to the homeowner tries to gain forcible entry into the residence. The owner takes the responsible action to alert the authorities.

Charlotte Ross' Skin Isn't Indecent
A New York court saved NYPD Blue some green today by nullifying a $1.2 million fine that the Federal Communications Commission handed to ABC after the network aired an episode in which Charlotte Ross bared her backside. The court said that it wasn't "per se indecent." We agree. Baring one's buns isn't nearly as indecent as, say, bludgeoning bunnies for their fur.
Charlotte, who now has a recurring role alongside Lea Michele, Jane Lynch, and other PETA pals on the Fox hit Glee, showed that she'd rather bare her skin than wear animals' skins in this ad she did for PETA while she was filming NYPD Blue. Pretty decent of her, eh?

I noticed in my garden today what looks like some sort of small animal, well, terds, for lack of a better word. They are tiny, what I would think would be the size of a rabbit dropping, and if you look close, they are sectional, almost like a grenade looks on the outside. Its everywhere in my garden box, in which i grown tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. But I havent noticed any fruit or vegetation being eaten. DO I have cause for concern, anyone know what this might be> my garden, raised bed box,, is about 6 x 5, and is inside of my backyar privacy fence. thanks |

Sounds like rat/mouse droppings to me, suppose they could be chipmunks as well, I've never seen chipmunk poop, but rat poop is ovular, grenade-like, about half the size of a Tic-Tac candy for mice, possibly as big as a Tic-Tac for rats. Squirrels have been getting up on our deck this year, they seem to poop in a swirl, piled up in a coil, which I find incredibly fascinating. I've never actually seen them do it, but they always appear on the railings the same day that digging in our pots occurs. |

Did some more research, confirmed it was green horned tomato worm terds. Then I looked on all my plants for them, but only found one. good news is that it had already been infested w/ the parasitc wasps so I let it be. thanks/ |

this is one of those things you can be super proud about figuring out, but you can't tell any of your non-gardening friends, lest they're bound to think, "you were researching poop on the internet?" :) |

by Che Guevara , Translated by Alexandra Keeble
Category: Travel & Holiday / Travel Writing
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
Publication date: 19 July 2004
Number of pages: 176
In January 1952, two young men from Buenos Aires set out to explore South America on a 500cc Norton. One of them was the twenty-three-year-old Ernesto 'Che' Guevara. Written eight years before the Cuban Revolution, these are the diaries of Che Guevara, full of disasters and discoveries, high drama and laddish improvisations. Touring through Argentina, Chile, Peru and Venezuela, his greatest concerns are where the next drink is coming from, where the next bed is to be found and who might be around to share it. Within a decade Che Guevara would be a household name. His trip might have been the adventure of a lifetime - had his lifetime not turned into a much greater adventure. More recently made into an Oscar-winning film starring Gael Garcia Bernal, 'The Motorcycle Diaries' is an extraordinary account of a hero in the making.
What the papers say:
'It's true; Marxists just wanna have fun...A revolutionary bestseller.' Guardian '"Easy Rider" meets "Das Kapital".' The Times 'What distinguishes these diaries is that they reveal a human side to El Che which historians have successfully managed to suppress...A joy to read from start to finish.' Financial Times 'For every comic escapade of the carefree roustabout there is an equally eye-opening moment in the development of the future revolutionary leader. By the end of the journey, a politicized Guevara has emerged to predict his own legendary future.' Time 'The vision of the noble loner, whether freedom-fighter or biker...gives hope to world-weary revolutionaries and non-revolutionaries alike.' Telegraph 'An extraordinary first-person account...It redoubles his image and lends a touch of humanity with enough rough edges to invite controversy.' Los Angeles Times 'Political incorrectness galore...this book should do much to humanise the image of a man who found his apotheosis as a late Sixties cultural icon. It is also, incidentally, a remarkably good travel book about South America.' Scotsman 'A Latin American James Dean or Jack Kerouac.' Washington Post 'The great thing about this book is that Che Guevara is never a bore. It satisfies both as an enjoyable travelogue and as a chronicle of the development of one of this century's most romantic figures.' Literary Review 'Politically-correct revolutionary hero? Perhaps a few years later, but in this account Che Guevara comes over as one of the lads.' Bike News
Author's Biography:
Ernesto 'Che' Guevara was born in Argentina in 1928. After fighting alongside Fidel Castro in the three-year guerrilla war in Cuba, he became Minister for Industry following the victory of the Cuban Revolution. In 1966 he established a guerrilla base in Bolivia. He was captured and killed in 1967.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Title: U.S. Makes Complex Moves In Afghanistan
Teaser: Contradictory statements coming from the U.S. Secretary of State
and the Obama administration are results of the attempt to navigate a
complicated path in Afghanistan.
Pull quote: Clinton's statement is markedly different than the one ones
that have been coming from U.S. President Barack Obama's administration.
In an interview with Reuters published Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State
Hillary Clinton said that the United States was open to the idea of a
peace agreement with the Afghan Taliban movement that involved the
controversial Haqqani network a** the subset of the Afghan jihadist
movement active in eastern Afghanistan. In response to a question about
whether the Haqqanis constituted reconcilable elements of the Taliban,
Clinton said, a**Where we are right now is that we view the Haqqanis and
other of their ilk as, you know, being adversaries and being very
dangerous to Americans, Afghans and coalition members inside Afghanistan,
but we are not shutting the door on trying to determine whether there is
some path forward."
These are some extraordinary comments. It was only a few weeks ago that
the top American military officer, U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman
Adm. Mike Mullen accused Pakistana**s foreign intelligence service, the
Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate, of officially supporting
the Haqqani network (as it is popularly referred to), including its
targeting of the U.S. embassy in Kabul on Sept 13. Those remarks led to
unprecedented levels of a spike in tensions between the United States and
Even with regards to Pakistan Clinton issue statements Clinton's
statement is markedly different than the one ones that have been coming
from U.S. President Barack Obama's administration. out of the Obama
administration. In fact, President Barack Obama himself, less than a week
ago, warned Islamabad that if it continued to have relations with
anti-American militants in Afghanistan it was jeopardizing long-term
relations with Washington. Today, however, Clinton speaking to reporters
said that the United States had no choice but to work with Pakistan in its
efforts to resolve the problems of Afghanistan.
So, the question is why Why is the Obama administration going back and
forth on Pakistan and the Haqqanis? The answer has to do with the fact
that the United States realizes that it needs Pakistani assistance in
order to reach a negotiated settlement in Afghanistan, which involves in
turn entails talking to the Haqqanis. but it doesna**t want to do engage
with either from a position of relative weakness. This would explain
Clintona**s comments highlighting the complexity of U.S. dealings with the
Haqqanis stems from the fact that the United States does not want to
engage either from a position of relative weakness.
The U.S. Secretary of State said that, Clinton said, a**it It is also
true that we are still trying to kill and capture or neutralize them. And
they are still trying to, you know, kill as many Americans, Afghans and
coalition members as they can. In many instances where there is an ongoing
conflict, you are fighting and looking to talk. And then eventually maybe
you are fighting and talking. And then maybe you've got a cease-fire. And
then maybe you are just talking." These remarks come after Haqqani network
leader Siraj Haqqani the leader of the Haqqanis, Sirajuddin Haqqani said
Sept. 17 said that he was prepared for talks. They also follow followed
by a Oct 5 a report published in the WSJ in The Wall Street Journal on
Oct. 5 that said the ISI mediated talks between the Haqqanis and U.S.
All wars end in negotiated settlements. (Is this true?) This is especially
the case where a military solution cannot be imposed. The fighting,
however, doesna**t cease just because the two sides are engaged in talks.
On the contrary., the two go hand in hand. Each side wants to persuade
the other Both sides want to be able to get the other to accept its terms.
Therefore, their forces will continue to weaken one another on the
battlefield even as their representatives are meeting behind the scenes to
reach a political settlement.
Afghanistan is no exception to this rule but the situation there is much
more complex given the fact that the than what was the case in Vietnam.
The Afghan insurgent landscape is composed of comprises a number of
different stakeholders. There is also the Pakistani factor Pakistan and
its regional interests and those state and non-state actors who oppose the
Talibs and their Pakistani supporters.
Therefore, the United States has no choice but to engage in a complex set
of moves that may appear contradictory but are sincere attempts to
navigate a complicated in effect are attempts to try and navigate through
a difficult situation.
