While Braves president of baseball operations John Hart acknowledges that he has focused on improving the club's long-term future with the flurry of moves he has made this winter, he remains optimistic that his team will be competitive this upcoming season. Thus, it was not surprising when he shot down the notion of moving Kimbrel when asked on Thursday morning.
"We love our core group," Hart said. "We have added quality players around this group to allow us to compete while strengthening the farm system. We've added (Nick) Markakis, (Jason) Grilli, (Jim) Johnson, A.J. (Pierzynski) and others to help us compete this year. We have never entertained trading (Kimbrel) and have had zero conversations with any clubs about Craig. I want him finishing out a World Series win."
Even if the Braves struggle this upcoming season, they believe some of the prospects they've acquired this winter could begin providing value as early as the 2016 season.
Kimbrel is signed through the 2017 season and has a $13 million option for 2018.
With the start of Spring Training a little less than a month away, the Braves are still talking to a few clubs that had shown interest in Evan Gattis during the early portion of this offseason.
As USA Today's Bob Nightengale first reported, Gattis traveled to Houston on Wednesday for a physical with the Astros. But the Braves are currently talking to at least one other club about a potential deal that would involve Gattis.
If Gattis is traded, his most likely destination would be to the American League, where he could be utilized as both a designated hitter and catcher. The Astros, Rangers and Royals have been among the clubs that have shown interest this winter.
While the Royals now appear to be out of the mix, the Astros and Rangers might still have some interest in the right-handed power hitter, who has already tallied a pair of 20-homer seasons, despite not playing more than 108 games during either of his first two seasons at the Major League level.
There was a point when the Braves were hoping to land a Major League-ready starting pitcher or outfielder in exchange for Gattis. But it appears their most recent discussions have provided reason to believe they would be more likely to gain a crop of prospects if they deal the 28-year-old slugger, who will not be eligible for free agency until after the 2018 season.
Gattis is currently slated transition from the catcher's position to starting left fielder in Atlanta. While this would create the potential to compile approximately 150 additional plate appearances over the course of the season, it also creates some concern about his lack of experience as an outfielder.
A Major League source said Lester and the Braves will meet on Thursday. There is a chance this meeting will simply enhance the demand for the veteran left-hander, who is also drawing interest from the Red Sox, Cubs and Blue Jays. But at the same time, there is now further reason to believe the Braves are prepared to make more trades in order to create the financial flexibility necessary to significantly impact their need for starting pitching.
By trading Jason Heyward and Jordan Walden to the Cardinals on Monday, the Braves improved their rotation with the addition of Shelby Miller and also took approximately $11 million off a payroll that is expected to rest around $110 million again this year. To get in position to afford Lester, who is expected to gain a $20 million-plus salary, Atlanta would likely have to trade Justin Upton, who is owed $14.5 million before becoming a free agent next year.
There has long been reason to believe the Braves would trade Heyward, Upton and possibly Evan Gattis at some point this winter. Given that he has one more arbitration-eligible season remaining, a trade involving Gattis would not create any immediate financial relief. But the right-handed slugger could draw a nice return from an American League club that could use him as a catcher and designated hitter.
Lester's draw to the Braves might be rooted in the fact that his Peachtree City, Ga. home is located approximately 25 minutes from Turner Field. The 30-year-old southpaw produced a 2.46 ERA and 2.80 Fielding Independent Pitching mark while combining to make 32 starts for the Red Sox and A's last year.
Atlanta's rotation currently consists of Julio Teheran, Mike Minor, Alex Wood and Miller. Given that David Hale is the only other Major League-ready starting pitcher in the system, the Braves are expected to target more starters over the next few weeks.
Seitzer spent this past season as the Blue Jays hitting coach. The former All-Star third baseman will fill a vacancy that was created when Greg Walker resigned as Atlanta's hitting coach at the conclusion of this past season.
Braves president of baseball operations John Hart said last week that he would like to continue using two hitting coaches like the club did the past two years with Walker and recently-dismissed assistant hitting coach Scott Fletcher. It has not been revealed who might fill the role Fletcher previously held.
Before being hired by the Blue Jays around this same time last year, Seitzer served as the Royals hitting coach from 2009-12. He also served in this same capacity for the D-backs during the 2006 season and the first half of the 2007 campaign.
Seitzer has ties to both Hart and Braves president John Schuerholz. He concluded his career with the Indians, while Hart was serving as Cleveland's general manager, and made his Major League debut in 1986 with the Royals while Schuerholz was serving as Kansas City's GM.
This has been a busy week for interim general manager John Hart, who met with manager Fredi Gonzalez on Wednesday morning to discuss the coaching staff and a roster makeup. Hitting coach Greg Walker's resignation stands as the only current change among the coaches. But there is certainly reason to believe at least a couple more changes will come that could open the door for Porter, who served as Gonzalez's third base coach with the Marlins.
Given that the Braves have not yet hired a permanent GM to fill the role vacated by the recently-terminated Frank Wren, it remains to be seen who will serve as Blakely's boss. But Blakeley's addition confirms that assistant GM John Coppolella does have some additional power within this new front office makeup.
Dating back to their days together within the Yankees organization, Blakeley has always stood as a mentor to Coppolella. Now the veteran scout will have a chance to work with his prized pupil and more importantly attempt to help the Braves on international front as much as he did the Yankees. Robinson Cano, Jose Contreras and Orlando Hernandez are among the players he was credited for signing while he was with the Yankees.
While Hart has taken on an active role over the past couple weeks, there still has not been clear indication that he wants to fill the GM role on a permanent basis. Thus there will continue to be speculation about the potential return of Royals GM Dayton Moore, who seemed to be an obvious candidate even before Wren was officially terminated. But with the Royals still in the playoffs, Moore's focus is currently elsewhere.
Before getting into specifics, I think it's safe to say that while this year's Hall of Fame experience in Cooperstown was wonderful, the Braves did not want a celebration of the past to be this year's most memorable occasion. Coming in a close second might be the three-week stretch this past winter when a flurry of long-term extensions gave hope for the future.
However you want to look at it, there hasn't been much reason to be excited about the present for the Braves, who are expected to make significant changes once this season concludes. The only question is whether general manager Frank Wren and all of the members of the coaching staff will survive what has been the most disappointing season the Braves have experienced since the 1980s.
Coming off a 2-7 road trip that concluded in embarrassing fashion in Texas, the Braves now sit four games behind the Pirates and 2 1/2 games behind the Brewers in the battle for the National League's second Wild Card spot. Needless to say, with 13 games remaining, the odds of passing both the Pirates and Brewers are slim.
But it would be easy to just continue harping on the negative. We've been doing that as the Braves have gone 58-67 going back to April 29. To put this in perspective, the Braves have matched the Mets during his span, played a half-game better than the Astros and one game better than the Cubs.
Sorry about that, I meant to get back into positive mode. If you want to hold out hope for a miraculous turnaround that would earn the Braves a playoff berth, you can look at the fact that the Pirates will play three games against the Brewers this weekend and then come to Turner Field for a four-game set that might have plenty of postseason intrigue.
Of course in order for their to be some drama surrounding next week's Pirates series, the Braves will first have to take care of business against the Nationals and Mets. And since we are focusing on positives, it seems fitting to point out that Stephen Strasburg (0-4,4.98 ERA in past nine starts vs. Braves) and Gio Gonzalez (0-6, 5.53 ERA in his past seven starts vs. Braves) are both scheduled to pitch this week in Atlanta.
While the Braves long ago bid adieu to hope of defending their division crown, they now have to win two of these next three games against the Nationals to prevent a National League East title celebration from taking place on their home turf. The Nationals managed to avoid this embarrassment when the Braves put them in the same position last year.
Obviously the offense has been the primary problem throughout this frustration-filled year for the Braves. But long before scoring became a nightly struggle, this organization started to experience some of instability that seemingly marked the start of the struggles that have followed.
Highly-regarded scout Dom Chiti and notable pitching guru Dave Wallace both left the Braves to join Buck Showalter's coaching staff in Baltimore. While both benefited financially by going to a Major League coaching staff, Wallace had indicated in the past that he was not interested in going back to the big leagues. But his mindset changed as he butted heads with members of the front office.
Then of course, the Braves nearly made the mistake of allowing pitching coach Roger McDowell go to the Phillies. President John Schuerholz stepped in at the last minute to keep McDowell, whose value extends far beyond what he does for the pitching staff.
A few weeks later, when Schuerholz hired his good friend John Hart to serve as a senior advisor in the baseball operations department,there was obvious reason to wonder about Wren's job security. There is still reason to wonder a year later. But it does seem like Hart like his other ventures, especially as an MLB Network analyst, to assume the position on a full-time basis.
This past offseason's most significant development centers around the departure of Tim Hudson. While for more than a year it had been assumed Brian McCann would depart after the 2013 season, there was at least some reason to think Hudson would remain close to his family by continuing to play in Atlanta as he faced the uncertainty surrounding his attempt to return from a fractured right ankle.
This mindset changed last September, when he said he had not had any conversations with the Braves about sticking around. Then of course came the early November revelation that the Braves had essentially offended him with an initial one-year, $2 million offer that included an option for the 2015 season.
Though the Braves' offers improved, they would have never matched the two-year, $23 million offer Hudson received from the Giants. But as another disappointing September elapses, there is at least reason to wonder how beneficial Hudson's clubhouse presence might have been this year had the Braves at least reached out last September and made him a respectable offer that he might have accepted.
As Hudson has spent the past few months experiencing an All-Star selection and aiding in the development of Madison Bumgarner, the Braves have lost three rotation members (Kris Medlen, Brandon Beachy and Gavin Floyd) to elbow injuries. While it's never easy to overcome this kind of damage to a rotation, the Braves can't say pitching is the reason they are now on the brink of being eliminated from the postseason scene.
If the Braves end up going on an incredible run and making the postseason, some of the struggles experienced over the past year will be forgotten. But in the midst of extended disappointment, there is no choice but to wonder how things might have been different if so many of these things had not gone wrong.
Instead, it might be time to accept that this offense is either an underachieving group or one that proved deceptive enough last year to be grossly overvalued entering this year.
If former NFL coach Dennis Green was currently serving as the Braves manager, I wonder if this would have been his reaction following Monday night's 2-1 loss to the Nationals:
Reporter: What did you see from your offense as it was held to one run or less for the sixth time in the past nine games tonight?
Green: The Braves are who we thought they were.
Let's not forget that while winning 17 of their first 24 games, the Braves hit .245 compiled a .705 OPS and averaged 3.7 runs. The Pirates, Cubs, Cardinals and Padres were the only NL clubs to average fewer runs per game during that period.
Since getting off to that 17-7 start, the Braves have gone 57-63. In the process, they have hit .242, compiled a .669 OPS and averaged 3.7 runs. Given that the average runs total is identical within these differing sample sizes, it must be the pitching that has been different.
Well, of course it has. No sane individual expected Atlanta's rotation to maintain the ridiculous 1.57 ERA it produced during the season's first 24 games. The pitching staff as a whole produced an incredible an unsustainable 2.04 ERA during that stretch. <p>
While winning just 57 of the 120 games that have followed, the Braves have seen their injury-decimated starting rotation produce a 3.84 ERA. The staff as a whole has a 3.59 ERA during this span.
The Pirates have produced an identical 3.59 ERA going back to this same date. But while going 65-52 during this stretch, Pittsburgh has been 9 1/2 games better than the Braves in the standings. The Buccos have made up this ground while hitting .266, compiling a .749 OPS and averaging 4.3 runs within this span.
Consequently, the Pirates would earn the National League's second Wild Card spot if the season ended today. They are 1 1/2 games in front of the Braves and Brewers.
The Pirates will host the Brewers (Sept. 19-21) and then come to Atlanta for a four-game set that might determine which of these two clubs will earn a playoff spot.
Three weeks ago, it did not seem like these two teams would be in their current positions. When the Braves took the first two games of a series in Pittsburgh, they extended their winning streak to five games and handed the Pirates their seventh straight loss. But the tide turned in that series' finale, during which Jordan Walden's command issues and a lack of communication between the Upton brothers led to a bad loss for the Braves.
Going to back to that final game in Pittsburgh, the Pirates have won 11 of 17 and the Braves have lost 10 of 18.
Though Atlanta's offense has been a problem throughout the season, its current stretch of futility has been quite troubling. Along with being limited to one run or less in six of the past nine games, the Braves have hit .211 and compiled a .582 OPS while averaging 2.3 runs in their past 15 games.
There is still a possibility that the Braves will turn things around in time to gain a playoff spot. But as every day elapses, there is more reason to begin assuming these guys simply are who they have been most of this season.
I found that before preserving his eight stellar innings in Sunday's 1-0 win, the Braves had lost six of the previous nine games in which the young lefty had allowed less than three earned runs and recorded at least 21 outs.
That's mind boggling. But those of you who have closely followed this team and its oft-slumbering offense were likely at least prepared for the numbers to not be pretty.
This led me to check the Braves' overall record whenever their starting pitchers complete seven innings and allow two earned runs or less.
2014: 29-16
2013: 33-9
2012: 31-8
2011: 32-4
2010: 30-7
2009: 29-15
I chose to go back to 2009 because that was the last year in which the Braves would not have qualified for the postseason under the current format which allows for two Wild Card entries from both leagues. In other words, they would have qualified in 2011 had the two-team WC format been in place.
If the Braves are going to return to the playoffs this season, they will obviously need their maddening offense to provide some form of consistent production over the next four weeks. Since totaling 28 runs over a four-game span (Aug. 18-21), the Braves have totaled 23 runs in the 10 games that have followed. They have scored more than three runs just twice during this 10-game span.
This troubling trend is nothing new for the Braves, who count the Padres as the only Major League club they have scored more runs than this year.
The .680 OPS produced thus far would be the lowest recorded by the Braves since the glorious 1988 (.646) and 1989 (.647) seasons.
LEADOFF SPOT: Whether or not you view Jason Heyward as a leadoff hitter, it is hard to argue against the belief that he is the best option the Braves have. My only argument would be that they could get away with putting Emilio Bonifacio in the leadoff spot in games they're facing a left-handed starting pitcher.
Heyward has batted .301 with a .366 on-base percentage in the 18 games he has played since moving back to the leadoff spot on Aug. 13. He has reached safely on a third of his plate appearances against lefties during this span. This latter stat was obviously aided when he walked in his first two plate appearances against the erratic Cole Hamels on Monday afternoon.
REMAINING SCHEDULE: As mediocre as the Braves have been over the past few weeks, let alone the past few months, they have to feel quite fortunate that they stand just 1 1/2 games back in the battle to claim the National League's second Wild Card spot. Their most likely fellow combatants in this battle will be the Pirates, Brewers, Cardinals and either the Giants or Dodgers.
With six games remaining against the Nationals, the Braves can hold on to a glimmer of hope that a miraculous September will allow them to defend their division crown. But they might be better off focusing on the Wild Card chase which could be significantly influenced when the Pirates come to Atlanta for a four-game series (Sept. 22-25).
By the time the Pirates arrive in Atlanta, they will have completed their current three-game series against the Cardinals and the three-game set they'll host against the Brewers (Sept. 19-21).
The Cardinals and Brewers are scheduled to square off seven more times. The Dodgers and Giants have six more matchups as they battle for the NL West crown.
So, the Braves can hope that the NL West and NL Central clubs (Pirates, Cards and Brewers) beat up on each other over the next couple of weeks. But none of that will matter if the Braves do not halt their offensive woes in time to prevent going into this offseason with an empty feeling.
Last year was different simply because the Braves got off to a hot start and held a division lead of at least four games every day after May 20. But some doubt crept in on July 25 when they dropped to 19-21 over their previous 40 games. More importantly, they had lost Tim Hudson to a season-ending ankle injury less than 24 hours earlier and the NL Central-leading Cardinals were coming to Atlanta the next day.
Instead of being burdened by doom and gloom, the Braves showed their resiliency by producing an incredible streak that enabled them to celebrate a special season. Though, this previous sentence was in reference to last year, there is a chance it could apply to what is transpiring this season.
Or as tonight's starter Aaron Harang will attest, some of these same words could have been used to describe what he and his 2002 A's teammates experienced when they produced a 20-game winning streak that took them from being 4 1/2 games back on Aug. 12 to 3 1/2 games up on Sept. 4.
"We have the team that can do that," Harang said. "When that happened (with the A's), we got multiple guys all producing all at once and pitchers all were trying to feed off each other. One of the guys would go out and throw seven or eight innings of one run ball or no runs and the next night the guy would come in and say I'm going to one up you. You just kind of feed off of each other when you get in that situation…Every night, it was somebody else who was getting that big hit."
When Harang toes the rubber at PNC Park tonight, he'll attempt to add to the recent success of Atlanta's starters, who have allowed three earned runs or less in five of the past six games. The only rotation member to be part of a loss during this span is Harang, who had another forgettable afternoon outing against the Dodgers last week.
Harang will not have to deal with the afternoon elements that have existed during two of the three occasions he has allowed more than four earned runs this year. But it looks like he will have to deal with reigning NL MVP Andrew McCutchen, who is expected to come off the disabled list tonight. McCutchen went 3-for-3 with a double against Harang last year.
Meanwhile, the Braves will have to adjust to the oddity that Francisco Liriano presents when he takes the mound for the Pirates tonight. Liriano will become just the 25th different left-handed starting pitcher to face the Braves this year. STATS, LLC. says this is the lowest total for any club in the Majors this year.
This fact jives with what Jason Heyward said on Monday when he was asked about his struggles against left-handed pitchers this year. He has batted .157 with a .228 on-base percentage against LHPs and .306 with a .391 OBP against RHPs.
"It's just nice to face (left-handed starters) again," Heyward said. "I feel there has been some inconsistency in regard to when we face them. It's tough to face shut-down lefties out of the pen regardless. But when you have to face them without getting any at-bats off of starters, it makes it that much tougher.
Liriano, who has produced a 1.89 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break, is the second left-hander the Braves have faced within the past three days. A two-run homer by Justin Upton helped them beat southpaw Jon Lester and the A's on Sunday night.
Speaking of the younger Upton, Elias says he is batting .388 (19-for-49) against pitchers who were selected for this year's All-Star Game. Matt Adams (.476) and Jose Altuve (.441) are the only players who have compiled a better batting average with at least 40 plate appearances against this group.
Adding to the misery of this marathon event was the fact that the Braves lost for the ninth time in their past 10 games and lost the momentum they had gained with a win in Friday's series opener against the first-place Nationals, who sit 4 1/2 games in front of the Braves.
"We got some momentum going last night," B.J. Upton said. "For us to sit around for virtually four hours when it's been raining all day and kind of force the issue, it kind of blows my mind, especially when we could have gotten an extra day to build on things. I don't think we saw that coming, for us to start a game at close to 11 o'clock and then get out of here at 3 o'clock. I've never seen it. I haven't been around the longest, but that's definitely a first for me."
According to Stats Inc. the 10:51 p.m. ET start time for Saturday's game was the latest for any Major League game since the Braves also opted to wait until 10:53 p.m. ET to begin a June 17, 2013 game against the Mets.
"From a player's aspect, it was kind of shocking a little bit," Freddie Freeman said of the late start. "It's definitely tough to get hot and then sit down for four hours and try to get re-hot again, but it's our job and we still went out there and gave it our all."
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez did not think the late start had an impact.
"I didn't think anything about the particular starting time," Gonzalez said. "You've got to be ready in the Major Leagues to play. And sure, we wanted to start at 7 or 7:05, but it's Mother Nature and you can't judge what's going on."

Visible Sounds and DNA Songs with Composer Stuart Mitchell
in Paranormal
Stuart Mitchell was born in Edinburgh and began to learn the piano at the age of five. His father is the jazz pianist and composer Thomas J. Mitchell, and this influence and guidance has been invaluable to Stuart's music. By the time he was 15, Stuart had discovered a whole new world of technology in keyboard synthesis which interested him greatly and this led to developing new sound textures and performance abilities to his music. In 1986, he signed his first record deal with Red Bus Records, London, for five years as a producer and writer. 2005 saw Stuart's first major classical CD release of his score Seven Wonder Suite for Orchestra, performed by The Prague Symphony Orchestra, The Kuhn Mixed choir and conducted by Mario Klemens. Stuart's work in cymatics, which is the study of visible sound and vibration, allowed him to break the code of the cubes carved in the ceiling of Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland and play the ancient song preserved there for hundreds of years. He also has developed a method of interpreting DNA into musical notes which make up a unique song encoded in every living thing. Stuart was commissioned to translate a MTDNA sequence of Ludwig Van Beethoven's ancestry and produced a composition called Ludwig's Last Song. Stuart's websites are:

Diverse deformation patterns of Aleutian volcanoes from InSAR
- By:
- Z. Lu, D. Dzurisin, C. Wicks Jr., J. Power
- The Publications Warehouse does not have links to digital versions of this publication at this time
Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is capable of measuring ground-surface deformation with centimeter-to-subcentimeter precision at a spatial resolution of tens of meters over an area of hundreds to thousands of square kilometers. With its global coverage and all-weather imaging capability, InSAR has become an increasingly important measurement technique for constraining magma dynamics of volcanoes over remote regions such as the Aleutian Islands. The spatial pattern of surface deformation data derived from InSAR images enables the construction of detailed mechanical models to enhance the study of magmatic processes. This paper summarizes the diverse deformation patterns of the Aleutian volcanoes observed with InSAR and demonstrates that deformation patterns and associated magma supply mechanisms in the Aleutians are diverse and vary between volcanoes. These findings provide a basis for improved models and better understanding of magmatic plumbing systems.Additional Publication Details

Gwinnett Daily Post
LOS ANGELES — Howard Stern and his agent are suing Sirius XM Radio Inc. for failing to pay stock awards they say are due for helping it exceed subscriber growth targets on its way to becoming the dominant satellite radio service in the country.
The New York-based company, which just signed Stern to a second five-year contract, said it was "surprised and disappointed" at the suit and said it had lived up to the obligations of their previous deal. In the suit filed Tuesday in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Stern's production company, One Twelve Inc., and his agent Don Buchwald said that Sirius made an initial bonus stock award after Stern started in January 2006 but failed to do so over the subsequent four years. Chris Brown accused of destroying dressing room NEW YORK — Chris Brown trashed his dressing room at "Good Morning America" and broke a window with a chair Tuesday after co-host Robin Roberts asked him about his attack on Rihanna, according to a person familiar with the show. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Security was called, but not police. Brown was on the ABC morning show Tuesday to promote his new album, "F.A.M.E.," released the same day. During his interview with Roberts, she asked him about the 2009 attack on his then-girlfriend — preceding her questions by noting he had been "very good" about talking about the attack. "It was very serious what you went through and what happened," she said. "How have you been able to ..." A clearly agitated Brown tried to deflect the line of questioning, saying he was past that and wanted to focus on his new CD. "This album is what I want them to talk about and not what happened two years ago," he said. Roberts laughed and thanked Brown for letting her discuss that matter with him, and after the interview, Brown performed. But instead of performing another song for the online audience, as he was scheduled to do, he went to his dressing room and started smashing things, according to the person.More like this story

ICTs IN AFRICA - A CONTINENT ON THE MOVE
All analysts finally agree that the African continent offers today the most promising opportunities and perspectives for the ICT industry. While the region is characterized by its diversity, one constant factor prevails: the deployment of mobile has offered a topical response for bridging the digital divide.
Today's Africa is looking towards tomorrow. The youth, the new generations of business managers, of political leaders and of opinion makers are willing to see the continent, its economy, as well as their own wealth grow along with the domestic, regional and international markets. In other words, Africa is on the move.
Those who are not aware of this reality will miss the wide range of business and development opportunities. For sure, this is not the case of the 1000+ leaders who attended the Connect Africa Summit, and converged to Kigali, Rwanda and of October 2007 to convey a unique message: doing well while doing good.
The ITU TELECOM AFRICA 2008 Forum will explore the challenges and opportunities of this new Africa reality. We invite you to join us, debate, express your views validate your strategies, or simply get the insights of the numerous experts and leaders who will be present in Cairo.

For GE Tub Gasket (Part Number: AP3425307)
Bob for Model Number GE Dishwasher
Answer Bob, Yes, if the water level is getting too high it will cause a leak. You will also want to check to make sure that the spray arms do not have cracks in them which would cause a wave action that could cause the leak. Check around the float to make sure it is not leaking from there and check the water valve to ensure it is not leaking.
Was this helpful?
1 Answer
Al for Model Number PDW7300G00WW
Answer Al, You model has a push in style door gasket. You would simply grab the old gasket and pull it out. When installing the new one you will want to start in the top middle and fold the gasket in half and just push in working your way around both sides to make sure it is even.
Jim for Model Number PDW7880G00SS
Answer Hello Jim, If steam is escaping from around the door and not through the vent then you would want to replace the seal. You may also want to check your spray arms to ensure not clogging or damage to the spray arms that would divert the direction of the water spray. This would cause rippling of the water which would cause the leaking at the bottom of door.
Ilene for Model Number gld4406r00ww
Answer Hello Ilene, The door seal that goes around the three sides of the door requires no glue. I do recommend that if it is one that is made identically from one side to the other, to flip it over and put the fresh side toward the door liner.
Robert for Model Number gsd6200j003ww
Answer Hello Robert. The tub gasket WD08X10018 is a press in gasket and is not glued.

Improved measurement accuracy in optical scatterometry using correction-based library search |
Applied Optics, Vol. 52, Issue 27, pp. 6726-6734 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (477 KB)
Library search is one of the most commonly used methods for solving the inverse problem in optical scatterometry. The final measurement accuracy of the conventional library search method highly depends on the grid interval selected for each parameter in the signature library, and the time cost of the parameter extraction increases dramatically when the grid interval is decreasing. In this paper, we propose a correction-based library search method to improve the measurement accuracy for a pregenerated signature library. We derive a formulation to estimate the error between the expected solution of the inverse problem and the actually searched solution obtained by the conventional library search method. Then we use the estimate of the error as a correction term to correct the actually searched solution to improve the measurement accuracy. Experiments performed on a photoresist grating have demonstrated that the proposed correction-based library search method can achieve much more accurate measurement with negligible computational penalty to the conventional library search method in the parameter extraction. It has also been observed that the correction-based library search method has higher measurement accuracy and less time cost than the interpolation-based library search method. The proposed correction-based library search method is expected to provide a more practical means to solve the inverse problem in state-of-the-art optical scatterometry.

When we think about how to be successful, we often overemphasize the value of a high IQ. Did you know that the strongest predictor of workplace is not IQ (or any other largely immutable trait), but EQ? While it takes time and concentrated effort to raise EQ, there are evidence-informed strategies that can take you to the next level. Mind Works, in conjunction with Bendure & Associates CEO Business Consulting and Coaching, offers emotional intelligence training to individuals and organizations looking to improve EQ (and their bottom line!). With more than 45 combined years of experience, CEO coach Bill Bendure and Dr. Sweeton share key skills in the domains of self-awareness, social awareness, self-regulation, and relationship management!
To learn more about EQ and how it can impact personal and workplace success, check out these articles:
Chesapeake Energy Corporation has a reputation for being dedicated to employee wellness. In their "Your Life Matters" video series, they provide personal stories and information about a variety of mental health issues. In September of 2013, Chesapeake interviewed Dr. Sweeton about how to recognize the signs of post-traumatic stress disorder.
CFT is a very promising, new treatment approach that has gained popularity (and research backing!) in Europe and Australia. Developed by Dr. Paul Gilbert at University of Derby in Derby (England), CFT integrates knowledge about emotions, trauma, neuroscience, and mindfulness to help clients recover from trauma, reduce guilt and shame, and increase compassion. This brain-based psychotherapy is commonly practiced at Mind Works!

Mulling spices
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mulling spices is a spice mixture used in drink recipes. The spices are usually used to spice hot apple cider, mulled wine, wassail, and other drinks (such as juices) during the autumn or winter.[1] A "mulled" drink is a drink which has been prepared with these spices (usually through heating the drink in a pot with mulling spices and then strained). Mulling spices may also be added to the brewing process to make spiced beer.
The combination of spices varies, but it usually consists of cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg; and less frequently star anise, peppercorn or cardamom. It also usually includes dried fruit (such as raisins, apples or orange rind). Mulling spices can also be bought prepackaged.[2]

Prominent citizens from different walks of life on Wednesday appealed to the voters to ensure defeat of the BJP and its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.
In a statement, they urged Left-wing and anti-communal activists not to campaign for the Aam Aadmi Party. People should vote for an AAP candidate only if there was no other candidate with a good chance of defeating the BJP/NDA in that particular constituency.
Terming Mr. Modi's politics fascist, they said it was undeniable that fundamental rights and rule of law would be fatally undermined if he came to power.
Mr. Modi could not be stopped without consolidating the anti-BJP vote, and one way of achieving this would be to work for an electoral united front of all secular parties, including the Congress, and Independents.
The appeal was signed by Anil Bhatia (independent journalist), Anjum Rajabali (scriptwriter and teacher), Aruna Burte (feminist activist), Hasina Khan (Muslim Women's Rights Network), Irfan Engineer (All India Secular Forum), Javed Malick (university lecturer), Kamayani Bali Mahabal (feminist and human rights activist), Kannan Srinivasan (free-lance journalist and researcher), Manglura Vijay (author and social activist), Manohar Elavarthi (Praja Rajakiya Vedike), M. K. Prasad (Kerala Sasthra Sahitya Parishad), Pradeep Esteves (independent researcher and consultant), Ramdas Rao (PUCL-Bangalore).
Ram Puniyani (All India Secular Forum), R. Christopher Rajkumar (National Council of Churches in India), Rebecca Kurian (anti-communal activist), Rohini Hensman (independent scholar and writer), Shaik Ubaid (human rights activist), S. Janakarajan (Madras Institute of Development Studies), Subhash Gatade (New Socialist Initiative), Sumi Krishna (independent feminist scholar and writer), Uday Chandra (political scientist), Uma V. Chandru (PUCL-Bangalore and WSS National Campaign), Zaheer Ahmed Sayeed (neurologist) were among those who signed the appeal.
Keywords: Narendra Modi, prominent citizens appeal, Aam Aadmi Party

As mentioned in many of the other reviews, this hotel needs more work. I booked this from LuxuryLink without looking at Trip Advisor first (my bad), and now question why it was in their inventory (it is not luxury). The unfortuante part is that it would be an easy fix to make this place better...PROFESSIONAL SERVICE. From our arrival to... More

HOKA ONE ONE Stinson ATR Men's Shoes Lime/Black/Red Product Page
Comments: This was my first pair of Hokas after hearing the usual from friends, "why don't you try Hokas?' Yes, they look heavy but they don't feel heavy. After having knee pain, I managed to run a 20k and 80k with no pain. I had great shoe control on the trail and on the road. I have flat feet and I pronate that's one of the reasons I delayed getting a pair for a long while. However, I insert my insoles and I don't have any trouble. The shoes have about 100 miles on them now and I can't speak for durability but they look like they are going to last for at least another 500 miles or 2 months. Everyone that seems my shoes say they look like from the future, they do look different than my average ASICS GT2000.
From: Miguel, Fairfax, VA, USA. February 8th 2015
Comments: After using a pair of Mafate 3's, these are a big improvement. There are a bit narrower and that concerned me but they are working much better, no hot spots nor blisters. The only thing I miss a is some more support. The turnover is faster that one would assume. I am plannning on using them for my next 100miler.

Some women just have it, no matter what they're doing.
Jessica Alba was spotted yesterday heading into her office, looking both businesslike and gorgeous. Even digging for change to feed the parking meter, she was picture-perfect in her simple but elegant red shift, black leather jacket and matching handbag. (Okay, I'm a sucker for a good red-black combo, but still – she was spot-on.)
Later, she traded her businesslike look for a casual ensemble of turquoise pants, flats and sleeveless shirt, topped off by a long vest that matched her tote. (Raise your hand if you coordinate your clothes with your reusable grocery bag. Anyone?…Anyone?)
Daughters Honor and Haven weren't in view this time around, but they're probably enjoying a fun weekend with their parents now.
Take a look and tell us – do you prefer Jessica in business or casual gear?

This fine book sheds a devastating light on Bush & Co.'s notorious 'base, ' i.e. America's white working class, whose members have been ravaged by the very party that purports to take their side--Mark Crispin Miller, author of Fooled Again.

Author information
Joe Bageant writes an online column (www.joebageant.com) that has made him a cult hero among gonzo-journalism junkies and progressives. He has been interviewed on Air America and comments on America's long history of religious fundamentalism in the BBC/Owl documentary The Vision: Americans on America. Until recently he worked as a senior editor for the Primedia History Magazine Group. Bageant and his wife recently downsized their lives in America so that Joe could spend half the year in Belize, where he writes and sponsors a small development project with the Black Carib families of Hopkins Village. "From the Hardcover edition."
Review quote
"Joe Bageant is a brilliant writer. He evokes working class America like no one else. The account of his revisit to his Virginia roots is sobering, poignant, and instructive." --Howard Zinn, author of "A People's History of the United States" "This book is righteous, self-righteous, exhilarating, and aggravating. By God, it's a raging, hilarious, and profane love song to the great American redneck. As a blue state man with a red state childhood, I have been waiting for this book for years. We ignore its message at our peril." --Sherman Alexie, author of "Reservation Blues" "This fine book sheds a devastating light on Bush & Co.'s notorious 'base, ' i.e. America's white working class, whose members have been ravaged by the very party that purports to take their side. Meanwhile, the left has largely turned them out, or even laughed at their predicament. Of their degraded state--and, therefore, ours--Joe Bageant writes like an avenging angel." --Mark Crispin Miller, author of "Fooled Again: The "Real Case" for Election Reform" "Joe Bageant is the Sartre of Appalachia. His white-hot bourbon-fuelled prose shreds through the lies of our times like a weed-whacker in overdrive. "Deer Hunting with Jesus" is a deliciously vicious and wickedly funny chronicle of a thinking man's life in God's own backwoods." --Jeffrey St. Clair, author of "Grand Theft Pentagon" and co-editor of CounterPunch "This recounting of lost lives--of white have-nots in one of our most have-not states--has the power of an old-time Scottish Border ballad. It is maddening and provocative that the true believers in 'American exceptionalism' and ersatz machismo side with those stepping all over them. Bageant's writing is as lyrical as Nelson Algren's, and if there's a semblance of hope, it's that he catches on with new readers thanks to the alternative media." --Studs Terkel ""Deer Hunting with Jesus" is one of those rare books that is colorful, depressing, e

I bought a package to Venice from viva holidays and I must say its the most wonderful
vacation I ever had. When I first say this deal on groupon I didn't believe it but somehow found the courage and bought it as it was just a matter if £175. I was surprised to find what all I was getting I got a round trip flights from London plus 2nights stay at a 4 star property. I must say the hotel was a bit far off well connected by the local transport the hotel staff were very friendly and truly redefined "Service With A Smile" . I Shall always recommend viva holidays to all my friends and family . looking forward for more amazing deals from Viva Holidays.

Stayed here for a business trip in November. It is a lovely hotel with clean rooms and it is right on the beach as advertised. There are a number of fun restaurants and shops within walking distance. My only issue with this hotel (from a business trip standpoint) was that the internet was pretty slow at peak times and there are no coffee makers in the rooms. They say breakfast opens at 8:00am (which is a little late if your headed to work) however coffee and food was available in the lobby at 6:30am when I checked. All in all I would stay there again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Whether it's a relaxing romantic getaway, an activity-packed family vacation, a quiet solitary retreat, or a quick trip filled with shopping, food and fun with friends, the Capri Laguna on the Beach is the perfect Southern California getaway. Nestled in the quaint seaside town of Laguna Beach, located midway between Los Angeles and San Diego, the oceanfront Capri Laguna on the Beach Inn is situated directly on the sand of the Pacific Ocean with its picturesque sunsets and world-renown coastline. ... more less

I know that I haven't been around the past few weeks, and for that I apologise. It's made me realise that I need to get a little bit more serious with this blog. After 2 years, I think it's time to up the ante a little bit and see what it's capable of. With that in mind, I'll be offline until the New Year, when I hope to return with a new look for the blog, some new features and making some good headway on the TBR pile. 2012 will be that year, I hope.
I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and an awesome New Year. Stay safe and be happy. Christmas is coming ...
