Avon, CT — Representative Nancy Johnson (R-5) and The Century Council, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers dedicated to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking, brought a life-saving lesson about the dangers of underage drinking and drunk driving to students at Avon High School and Cheshire Public High School today. To highlight the back to school season, Representative Johnson welcomed Brandon Silveria, a young man who was involved in an alcohol-related crash at age 17 just before his high school prom, and his father Tony who will speak to students about the importance of "making the right choice" about alcohol — and if students are under the age of 21 — the only responsible decision is not to drink.
"I am so pleased that Brandon and Tony Silveria could visit
Connecticut again this year, particularly at the beginning of the
school year," said Representative Johnson. "Twenty seven youths under
the age of 21 died in alcohol-related traffic fatalities in Connecticut
in 2002, a decrease of ten percent since 2001. We all need to work
harder to keep teens alcohol-free and save lives this year."
"The good news is that over the past 20 years, the number of underage drinkers has decreased. For example, underage drinking among high school seniors has declined 29% proportionally from 70% in 1982 to 50% in 2001, according to government surveys. More work needs to be
done, which is why I'm pleased Representative Johnson invited us to give two presentations today," said Jay Hibbard, regional field director for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility.
During the program, Silveria told students his wrenching story of how as a high school student he had everything a teenager could want — a job, girlfriend and plans for the future — until he had a few drinks at a party and chose to drive home. After falling asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and crashing into a tree, Brandon was left in a coma for three months and spent several years in rehabilitation. Silveria was so badly injured that basic motor functions such as walking, talking and swallowing had to be re-learned. He has permanent brain injury and suffers from dangerous seizures. Brandon's presentations continue to receive standing ovations from students across the country.
"What you become depends on the choices that you make," said Brandon Silveria. "When I was seventeen, I had a job and a girlfriend. Because of my crash, I lost both of them. My hope is that by sharing my experiences with other young people, I can prevent others from being hurt or killed."
Through educational efforts such as the Silveria lecture and video program, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility educates students across the country about the hazards of underage drinking and driving. Since Brandon and his father Tony have become spokespeople for The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, they have addressed well over one million high school students nationwide and have been featured on such television programs as "Rescue 911," NBC's "Today," and "Leeza."
To request a free copy of "Brandon Tells His Story" or for more information on the Silveria program call (800) 431-4499. The 30-minute video, which won an award from the American Medical Association, is accompanied by supporting curriculum materials and can be used with large or small groups of teens.

Herring, Atlantic – U.S.
In the U.S. and Canada, Atlantic Herring range from the Labrador coast to South Carolina.
Herring support a substantial bait industry for lobster, blue crab and tuna fisheries. They are also sold as steaks, kippers and are one of many species sold in the U.S. as canned sardines, although technically they are not considered to be sardines.
The U.S. population is considered healthy. However, because Herring are an important food source for many fish, marine mammals, and seabirds, there are concerns that not enough fish are being left in the ocean to feed these predators. As well, the fishery catches large numbers of non-target fish, some of which are species of concern.

Release dates for Abercrombie's Red County
I admit that I am just very eager but....
Why the big difference in the release dates for this book? These dates my have changed since I looked last but at one point the release dates were October 18 in the UK and November 20 in the US. I read books, I enjoy books, but I have almost no knowledge about the publishing end of that business. Some of you really do... so... Why the big difference in the release dates?

Bummer. Hopefully it will be a cleanly copy-edited version when it comes, maybe it otherwise wouldn't have been.
Looks like Iain M Banks owns October now.

Got mine pre-ordered on Amazon. Love the pre-order automatic download.
I didn't think I'd love eBooks, but I was wrong.

Thanks for the info! The to Abercrombie's blog was very helpful.
What I still don't fully understand is what has to be done to the manuscript and in the other steps of publication after that that takes longer in the US than in the UK. Someone mentioned that the additional time might result in a 'cleanly edited' book when it is finally released, but does that mean the version released a month earlier in the UK won't be properly edited? I am so far from educated on the publishing end of these books that I love to read. Thanks for trying though folks! I do appreciate the responses.

My understanding, Twinner, is that usually there's not much editing, if any, between dates/continents, but the difference in date is more to do with how the publication of the book fits into publisher's schedules in their respective territories, not to mention who has publication rights and where.
Obviously the publisher wants the book to do well and to give it time to publicise it properly, not to mention to release it at a time when it will sell most. If it's released at the same time as a mega-book such as a Pratchett, a Rowling, a Weeks, then that might not do the book you're publishing any favours.
On the positive note, generally the differences between dates and the US/UK are getting better/closer. There was a time when Steven Erikson had the first few Malazan books available in the UK and not at all the US, for example...
September 19th, 2012, 02:51 AM #8
The text between the UK and US editions is identical. The US take the finished, typeset files from the UK publisher. But then they set them again their own way. Not totally sure why they choose to do this - their own house style, differences in paper stock and hence page count, slightly different traditions in the text size and spacing. They then check their setting over, there's some number crunching involved in getting the files ready for the printer, apparently. The physical distribution also takes a fair bit longer in the US, the distances are far greater and the supply chain more complicated, so it takes a lot longer to get books from printer to bookshop stock rooms ready for them to go on the shelves everywhere at once. So the US need a good deal more lead time, basically.
In this case we'd worked out a schedule that would deliver the final UK files to the US publisher in time for them to hit the date, and my editors and me worked to and hit that schedule. But some cock up had occurred somewhere in which the US people were given the wrong date, and although the book was well finished from my standpoint by that date, the final set, proof-read files weren't actually available until a couple of weeks later. By then, evidently, it was too late for them to get all their setting, printing and distribution done in time for their publication date, so they had to drop it back. Once you've missed the date, you can't necessarily shift it back a few days, because you've got to re-organise any promotions and such like and you may also have other books coming out you don't want this book to clash with. So the nearest available slot was three weeks later. That's actually pretty good. Often if you miss a publication slot it can be months before the next one comes up.

While disappointed its been pushed back, I'm okay with it as I have a few books to get through before I can even get to it, so it's a mixed blessing for me.
Thanks Joe for stopping by and updating us, my book is preordered.
September 19th, 2012, 04:26 PM #10
Thanks Joe and everyone else. I have learned several things in this thread thanks to the info provided by all of you.
I guess part of my problem is that I have moved in the direction of E-Books and Audible books so much that I don't even think in terms of type-setting and physical distribution. Spoiled? Yes... I am.
Thanks for chiming in with the helpful info and do keep up the great work!
I'm just going to 'read/listen' to Best Served Cold again while I wait.
All the best -

There may well actually be more work in preparing the e-book than the physical. Lots of different formats and vendors to prepare for. You may well think it's a simple matter, but believe me, when you see a crappy conversion you know it.
Also the publisher is probably (hopefully from where I'm sitting) putting a lot of effort into making the book available everywhere at one time to make the maximum splash and get the highest possible sales in one week in the hope of hitting bestseller lists and etc. - so even if you could bring the e-book out sooner you may very well not want to.
September 20th, 2012, 04:30 AM #13
OK, bit of a fantasy staple I know, but I for one often refer to in-book maps repeatedly, and it is one of my only gripes with ebooks that this can be a bit of a ballache.
Anyhow, pre-ordered Red Country (in ebook format) and looking forward to it Joe. How's the map?

My pre-order copy from Amazon now says delivery on November 16, so who knows?
September 20th, 2012, 02:49 PM #15
I ordered from amazon UK not for the early release, which is a bonus, but for the cover art.

Well my trip out today was ended early by a nasty storm.
Since the water was crazy choppy as the storm rolled through, I dropped the wife at the dock and had her back the trailer (she is still learning how).
Usually she holds the boat at the dock, but the waves on the lake were breaking up onto the dock, so I thought it would be best for her to back the trailer.
As I was watching her (trying to signal her to help her out), I didn't notice how far the storm had pushed the boat. When I looked, I was right over some huge rocks near the shore. I tried to move off of them, but it was too late. The boat got hung on the rocks, and the waves bashed it up and down.
I jumped out and pushed as hard as I could, and finally got it loose. It was pure misery hearing it bouncing on the rocks with each wave.
The prop is now trash, but it saved the rest of the back end from damage. The starboard side now has 30+ deep gouges in the black gel coat right below the waterline. It is heartbreaking to see.
I will be fixing the gel myself, and will post a how-to thread for you all, and I have a new prop sorted with the help of a forum member. After what felt like thousands in damage, I will be able to fix for around $500.
Thanks again Moomba Forum!

I have gone over the boat with a fine toothed comb. There is no damage to the strut, tracking fins (other than a few scratches), or rudder.
Once I finish the gelcoat repair, I will check the drivetrain alignment at the shaft coupling. As straight and true as the strut is, I am sure it is fine.Nate

I hear ya and glad it didn't turn out worse. The dock we used back in NJ was a disaster and the tide whipping through fast as hell when it was changing didn't help any. I have a few ugly gel coat scratches (black) on my white hull so I'm interested in seeing how you fix it. I don't have a clue how to. I've just sucked it up and realized its just a boat and sh*t happens. I'll be on the lookout for your DIY.2008 Supra 21V
You have it all in perspective for sure. It sucks and I'm sure you were pretty hot at the time but in the end it is fixable and no loved one was injured.
I would have been furious at the time of the incident for sure and your thread made me instantly think of the Paul Thorn song:

Ten Tips for Healthier Living
Don't Smoke
Smoking is the only activity that can kill you just by using it as directed. Smoking claims the lives of approximately 400,000 Americans every year. Of these, approximately 130,000 are due to lung cancer, 115,000 to coronary heart disease, 27,000 to cerebrovascular disease and 60,000 to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Despite warnings, 54 million smokers in the United States continue to smoke and spend billions of dollars annually to support their habit. Why? Most habitual smokers are addicted to the nicotine in cigarettes which creates an almost immediate "high."
Here are some interesting facts about smoking:
- Each cigarette you smoke makes you lose about 7 minutes of your life.
- There are over 4,000 chemicals in cigarettes.
- Nicotine is deadly in high doses. One drop (70 mg) will kill an average man within a few minutes.
- Cigarettes contain the following ingredients: paint and fingernail polish remover, a poisonous gas, a preservative for dead bodies, an insecticide, 401 poisons and 43 known carcinogens (cancer causing substances).
There is nothing good about smoking. But if you quit, its harmful effects can be lessened. Within 12 hours after you've stopped smoking, carbon monoxide, tar and nicotine levels in your body will decrease as will your risks for heart disease and certain lung diseases, although the risk of lung cancer can take up to seven years to go away.
Use Sunscreen
Tanned skin used to be considered a sign of good health -- now we know better. Sun damages your skin forever, and it could also kill you. One out of every 500 Americans will develop skin cancer this year. Melanoma is the most common (and deadliest) form of skin cancer in women under the age of 35.
Sun exposure prematurely ages skin and is the chief cause of skin cancer. Doctors say that one severe sunburn can double the risk of developing melanoma. Reaction to the sun's light can cause changes inside skin cells. These changes, over time, produce wrinkles, loss of skin elasticity, mottled skin color, enlarged blood vessels and precancerous and cancerous skin growths. Sunlight is more harmful to younger people because their skin cells multiply more rapidly and over a longer time span. Most people experience 80 to 85 percent of sun damage to the skin before the age of 20.
The best way to avoid sun damage is by minimizing exposure to ultraviolet radiation:
- Avoid sunbathing and tanning parlors. Limit the time spent outside between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun's rays are strongest.
- Wear protective clothing such as hats, long-sleeved shirts, jackets and gloves.
- Use sunscreens which help keep sun damage to a minimum by absorbing and deflecting ultraviolet rays.
- The SPF (sun protection factor) in a sunscreen indicates the level of protection it provides. Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen at least one hour before going outside and reapply after swimming or perspiring heavily. Don't be fooled by overcast days - harmful ultraviolet rays can penetrate through clouds. Being in the water is no protection either because the sun's rays also cut through water.
Get a Good Night's Sleep
Sleep is a basic part of life. You'll spend approximately one-third of your life or about 3,000 hours a year sleeping. While an average night's sleep is seven to eight hours, one in four people get less. Studies have shown that if you don't get enough sleep over a long period of time, your ability to think and function rapidly decreases.
Sleep allows your body to recharge itself. While you sleep, your body gets rid of skin waste and circulates minerals, vitamins and hormones in the skin.
It is also the time when your body produces the most amount of infection-fighting substances. That's why bed rest is so important when you have a cold.
Here are some tips to help you sleep better:
- Avoid caffeine six hours before bedtime
- Don't use alcohol or depend on sleeping pills to help you sleep
- Exercise in the late afternoon or early evening only
- Avoid eating a heavy meal of spicy foods within two hours of going to sleep
- Drink a glass of milk about a half-hour before going to bed. Milk contains a natural sleep inducer
- Keep your bedroom cool
- Sleep in comfortable clothes
- Try to keep the same sleeping and waking schedule
Eight Glasses of Water
The average adult body weight is between 55-75 percent water, which is about 10-12 gallons. Water does many things for your body such as regulating body temperature, carrying oxygen and nutrition to cells and cushioning joints and organs. Humid climates, higher altitudes, pregnancy and breast feeding increase your need for life's greatest nutrient. The American Dietetic Association recommends drinking eight cups of water a day and adding one more cup per hour of activity. Drink water before you feel thirsty because if you feel thirsty, you're already dehydrated.
Exercise Regularly
Regular physical activity helps condition your heart and lungs so that they function efficiently by doing the same amount of work with less effort. At the same time, you can improve your muscle tone and lose excess fat. Exercise also:
- Helps reduce your chances of developing coronary disease
- Decreases your weight and cholesterol level
- Helps improve your sleeping habits
- Helps improve digestion
- Increases your flexibility and keeps bones strong
- Helps you cope with stress and relieves emotional and nervous tensions
The healthy, normal fitness standard for exercise is 45 minutes of cardiovascular work followed by 15 minutes of weight training at least three times a week. However, 80 percent of the population still do not exercise regularly, citing a lack of time. Also, many people who are out of shape feel intimidated by the thought of exercise. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the American College of Sports Medicine suggest 30 minutes of accumulated physical activity five or more days a week. Activities can range from walking the dog and raking leaves, to running a marathon. This new recommendation does not replace the earlier standard, but it helps those that do not have a regular fitness program to start one.
Eat Right Without Dieting
Throw the word "diet" out of your vocabulary. Instead of starving yourself or limiting yourself to "good" foods, eat a variety of foods in balance and moderation. A balanced and healthy diet includes foods from each of the four basic food groups -- meats, fish and poultry; milk and dairy products; fruits and vegetables; breads and cereals. Here are some eating guidelines:
- Eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
- Keep total fat grams under 20 per day. Avoid foods high in fat (read labels) and choose lean meat, fish, poultry, dry beans, peas and tofu as your protein sources.
- Eat at least 1,200 nutritious calories per day and eat frequent servings of vegetables and grains.
- Consume two low-calorie snacks per day. If you're still hungry, carrot sticks, broccoli florets and dry grain cereals are good snack foods.
- Drink at least eight to 10 glasses of water a day. It will help keep you healthy and has no calories.
- Avoid foods that contain large amounts of sugar. These foods -- usually referred to as "empty calories" -- provide little or no nutrition, but are high in calories.
- Alcoholic beverages are also high in calories and low in nutrients. Long term, excessive alcohol drinking can cause cirrhosis and other liver diseases, disorders of the heart and nervous system and throat cancer. To avoid that "beer belly," drink in moderation. Remember, never, ever drink alcohol and drive.
- If you want to "splurge" on a meal, keep tabs on your fat, sodium and calorie contents and adjust the other meals of the day accordingly.
- If you are trying to lose weight, remember that the only way to lose those pounds is by burning more calories than you consume, so continue to eat sensibly and exercise regularly to burn away those extra calories.
Wash Your Hands
Hate getting a cold? The best way to avoid a cold is to wash your hands often. That's right. It isn't high tech, but it works. Your hands can carry a multitude of germs which can make you sick when you touch your mouth, nose or eyes. Hand washing is considered the most important single procedure for preventing the spread of germs.
The generally accepted correct hand washing time and method is a 10 to 15-second vigorous rubbing together of all lathered surfaces (including between the fingers, under the nails and the top of the hands) followed by rinsing in a flowing stream of warm water. If you are using liquid soap, the dispensers should be cleaned thoroughly before they are refilled. If you are using bar soap, use a rack-type dish that allows the soap to drain.
Use a Seat Belt
It's easy to buckle up. Seat belts, which strap you to your seat across your lap and shoulders, can protect you better in all collisions (front, side and back), while air bags protect you only in frontal collisions. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that seat belts dramatically reduce traffic deaths. If you're afraid that the seat belt might trap you in one of those rare accidents in which a car catches fire or goes underwater -- don't worry.
Seat belts actually improve your chance of survival in these types of accidents because a person who isn't wearing a belt can easily be knocked unconscious even in a minor collision. Unconscious people rarely escape from burning or submerged cars.
Avoid Stress
Stress is a part of every day life. Often associated with negative things such as a divorce or waiting in a long line, "happy" things such as taking a vacation or planning a wedding can also be stressful.
Stress is your body's reaction to the stimuli or situations you encounter every day. As you encounter these stimuli, your body responds by increasing the production of certain hormones which creates changes in your heart rate, blood pressure and metabolism.
If stress is controlled, it can actually improve your performance -- when you direct stress positively, you direct all your energy toward the challenge you are facing. However, continued exposure to stress can be destructive if it is not controlled. It can lead to mental and physical health problems such as anxiety, indigestion, muscular aches and pains and even death.
Some stress can't be avoided, but you can reduce it by following these tips:
• Set realistic goals. Develop short-range goals to help you achieve long-range goals.
• Remove yourself physically from the cause of your stress. Take a break.
• Learn to relax a few minutes every day. Turn off the radio or television, take a leisurely bath, unplug the phone, practice deep breathing.
• Release your emotions by talking with a good friend or loved one.
• Ask yourself if the situation warrants your stress. Is it really going to matter in a week, a month or a year? Refuse to take responsibility for things you have no control over or cannot change.
• Create a routine. Use your time and energy more efficiently.
• Be optimistic about your life. Be positive and focus on the good things you see in yourself and others.
• Exercise regularly to help redirect pent-up energy in a positive way.
Take Care of Your Heart
The heart is a hard-working, efficient muscle that beats approximately 100,000 times a day while moving 4,300 gallons of oxygen-rich blood through your entire body. It pumps blood through 60,000 miles of blood vessels at 60 to 80 beats a minute -- continuously, each and every day. Many of us take our hearts for granted . . . until it breaks down.
You can reduce many of the risk factors of heart disease by modifying your lifestyle, participating in a health maintenance program and having regular check-ups by your physician. Improve your chances of avoiding disability or premature death from heart disease by following your doctor's advice about taking medicine and changing your diet and health habits, controlling stress, quitting cigarettes, eating well and wisely, and exercising regularly and sensibly.

The amount of CoQ10 your body absorbs is key to your cardiovascular health
CoQ10 Advantage helps to…
- Maintain normal blood pressure levels
- Support overall cardiovascular health and function
- Support healthy blood vessels
- Maintain normal levels of the blood marker Lp(a)
- Increase cellular energy production in the mitochondria
- Support physical energy and stamina
- Maintain cellular membrane integrity
- Support immune health
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant and a vital coenzyme. It resides in the mitochondria of your cells and plays a critical role in your body's ability to create cellular energy.
One of your body's largest concentrations of CoQ10 is in your heart, which is one reason why this nutrient plays such an important role in the functioning of your cardiovascular system.
But, CoQ10 is a large molecule and it can be difficult to absorb.
Thankfully, science has discovered a form of CoQ10 that has been shown in human clinical studies to be "universally absorbable." This means that it is easily absorbed by everyone.
It's called MicroActive® CoQ10 and it's what I used to formulate my CoQ10 product, CoQ10 Advantage.
MicroActive CoQ10 is actually CoQ10 surrounded by beta-cyclodextrin molecules. Cyclodextrins are linked sugar molecules that provide a stable environment for the CoQ10, helping to improve its bioavailability. I believe it to be the absolute best form of this nutrient available today and the research proves it.
A simple once-a-day dose gives you the researched dosage of CoQ10 I recommend
Because MicroActive CoQ10 is far more bioavailable and long-lasting, you can take two CoQ10 Advantage pills together, just once a day. That's a lot easier than the twice-a-day dosage you're probably used to taking. And you don't have to time it with meals, either!
Anyone over 40 should supplement with CoQ10
While it's true that your body makes CoQ10, it makes less of it as you get older. That's why everyone over the age of 40 needs to supplement with it.
Ingredients and Dosage
Doctor's Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules once daily.
Serving Size: 2 capsules
Servings Per Container: 30
|Amount Per Serving

Each year the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) sponsors a statewide campaign to raise awareness in the Hispanic community about the dangers of drinking and driving and to promote sober driver designation. Over 30 percent of the state's population is Hispanic.
Alcohol-related crashes are a serious problem in Texas. In 2013, there were 25,158 DUI-alcohol crashes. About one third of all the state's annual traffic-related fatalities are caused by drinking and driving. Among young male drivers, ages 17 to 34, Hispanics accounted for nearly half (47 percent) of all crashes where drivers were under the influence of alcohol. We also have a growing Hispanic population in Texas that may not be aware of our drunk-driving laws.
TxDOT's public service announcements remind Hispanic Texans that drinking and driving is a serious offense:

Do you have any heroes? My Dad is my hero. He marches to his own drums and I hope I can keep making him proud.
What does it mean for you to fight in the UFC? I know it is cliché to say, but it means everything. This is the pinnacle of MMA and to be the best you have to be a part of the best organization. I am really excited to have the chance to leave my mark in MMA and especially to do so inside the UFC.
Did you go to college and if so what degree did you earn? N/A

1. Bree-land News - Special Edition
The floor of the local inn, The Prancing Pony, collapsed last night due to 'extreme structural pressure' according to Bree Building Inspector, Cob Brownlock, brother to Nob, Ostler of the establishment owned by Barliman Butterbur.
When asked what precipitated the collapse, Cob said, "'Twere them twenty-four dancing dwarves! Ya can't have twenty-four of 'em all dancing at the same time, in the same space. Some of 'em were climbing on top of each other. Putting stress on the building."
Barliman Butterbur himself was found under the rubble, having gone to the wine cellar for a patron.

Need a Quiet Wall Oven
After a great deal of research, I recently (1/2013) purchased a Whirlpool Gold double oven. When I turned it on for the first time, I could not believe how loud the exhaust fans were! It is a convection oven, but this was in bake mode. The vent ran for 45 minutes after I turned the oven off!! I called Whirlpool customer service and they said they had heard their new models were louder than previous models and "they are working on it." Well, I cannot keep these ovens in my kitchen. They are simply TOO loud. So I am now looking for a replacement. I am leaning toward the Bosch 800 series but really want to hear from someone who actually has one to see if they have the same noise issue. Any input and/or suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it!
How quiet something is will be subjective. There is no objective standard measure that will tell you how two different ones will compare. Some will find the oven that you have just fine, and others will not. It's a crapshoot, and only you will know your own sensitivity level. It's you are very sensitive, you may not find any the will work for you. All ovens will have fans that cool their electronics, and there are very few showrooms with ovens actually hooked up for you to hear. If you found the Whirlpool noisy, then I sugget you avoid all of it's sisters, the Maytag, JennAir, KitchenAid and perhaps investigate some of the higher end products.
We have an Electrolux wall oven. The fan starts to hum once you turn it on. It's not particularly loud to my ears. When the oven it turned off, the fan continues to blow until it's cooled off. As the oven is well insulated, this takes tens of minutes. I shorten this by opening the oven door. This vents the hot air within minutes.
Thanks for the input. I realize all ovens have fans these days to keep electronic controls cool. The one I replaced did as well, but the Whirlpool was truly obnoxiously loud. Even my husband agreed, and he is not noise-sensitive at all! Again, their own rep's confirmed the issue. I guess I just want to hear from someone with a Bosch before I purchase one...does the noise bother you? Do you notice it particularly? Or does it fade into the background?
Thanks again for the input!!
I have a Bosch 500 series single wall oven (mounted under the cooktop). I haven't found the noise to be an issue at all - very quiet in fact. I'm probably aware of the cooling fan, when I've stopped cooking, simply because I think "did I turn off the oven?", but that's the only reason I notice it. Our kitchen has no door and opens off the sitting and dining areas, yet we don't hear the oven in those rooms. Hope this helps
I also have the Bosch 500 series wall oven and am sensitive to noise. On regular mode or convection, this oven is extremely quiet with the fan on. The fan runs for about 10 to 15 minutes after the oven is turned off.
" Posted by deeageaux
The quietest ones will be the ovens with triple glass doors.
Wolf L Series and Gaggenau. "
There is more to it than that. I have my Wolf range, with triple glass next to my Electrolux, double glass and the Electrolux is quieter. It is probably due to the fact it has dual fans, but for some who are noise sensitive, even the pitch of the fans can make a difference. My Electrolux and Wolf both shut off when you turn them off. The only way you can know what is best for you is to hear it but this would be almost impossible to do. If you buy from the right retailer, some have a two week window for return, but make sure you understand the terms for that.
The Thermador ovens my in-laws have at home are crazy obnoxious loud. The Wolf ones they have at their vacation home are nice and quiet, even though when you open them they are super loud. I agree the noise is awful. Would it help to insulate the oven cabinet with foam or something?
Deeageaux is right on the money, my gaggenau ovens are super quiet; the doors are amazing on another point: you can open the door while baking and the inside of the door is cool, not hot -- truly amazing engineering. In cleaning mode, the oven fans are quietier than most.
Very happy - It's been in place almost 5 years (where does the time go?) now with no problems. I make 3 loaves of bread at least once a week, if not twice, and roast on Sunday (I'm so English :) ), plus lots of other usage.
Mostly, I use True Convection, broil, and warm. I'm still unconvinced about the merits of some of the different settings, having been used to "all convection, all the time" in the UK for years, but that's just me.
I've only used the self-clean twice, I think, and only for an hour, which was adequate. Roast duck makes quite a mess . . .
GromitinWA - note that Gaggenau while owned by Bosch Siemens is completely independent from them, including and most importantly Gaggenau engineering, manufacture etc. There is categorically no comparison between a Gaggenau and a Bosch or Thermador (also owned by Bosch)-- not by a long shot.
@clarygrace - I would be astonished if there were not some common mechanical and electrical parts. Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda and Lamborghini are all part of VAG and you'll find some common parts between the vehicles that they make. It is simply uneconomic to do otherwise.
If anything, Bosch may use some Gaggenau engineered parts -- still, the products are completely different -- in terms of performance, quality there is truly no comparison.
I know because I have used both. It's like trying to compare a Rolls Royce to a Mercedes, trust me.
Whilst we are happy that clarygrace is happy with the
Gaggenau oven, one would appreciate a little more
"Factual Knowledge" about the Gaggenau's engineering, manufacture etc.
While I do admit it does take some time and research to come up with "Truly Factual Information", I feel we owe it to our readers here,, rather than "Shooting from the hip"
You have "No Need" to be "Astonished", GromitInWA.
Here are just a few examples of common parts between the Bosch and the Gaggenau ovens,
(this is just information for some model Gaggenaus and Bosches),
---I am not claiming it is an "Enclusive List", and it is "Possible" that there are some "Gaggenau Only" parts.

Just the facts, Mam, Just the Facts
Well Dodge it must really make you feel good to tout your knowledge and research. Good for you. But you may want to scale back on self-righteous patronizing, it's not very flattering.
For me, I speak from my experience with two of the products being compared and again I can tell you that there is NO comparison between a Bosch oven and a Gaggenau oven -- they are engineered differently -- They perform differently. I did mention that they may share some components/parts but that's about the extent of it. ROLLS ROYCE VS. MERCEDES is a pretty good analogy, sorry if you disagree.
Jeez, for as long as I've read your posts on ovens, you have a penchant for pooh poohing anything that isn't an Electrolux oven(and btw, I also own Electrolux appliances), and they are fine products, but everyone has their preferences.
It's true, I'm a big Electrolux fan, alto not as quiet a fan that is on my oven, as Wekick mentioned, the oven is VERY quiet, even quieter than the wolf.
But in this case, The OP seems to be concentrating on the Bosch ovens, so that is what my post is about, Bosch Ovens.
I don't pooh poo anything that's not Electrolux, I have a Miele DW and would not trade if for an Elux DW. Same for My Jenn-air fridge, no way a trade for an Elux Fridge.
You went , "To Me", way out of your way to "Try to explain the Superiority" of the Gaggenau over the Bosch, sorry I'm not buying it, I can "Honestly say" I would not trade ovens with you even if you offered me an additional 10 grand.
I don't think we do our readers here a service to have them possibly "over budget", in this case, for an oven, that except for the side opening doors, is not that much different than a "Normally priced oven" and I certainly do not believe it performs any better than a "Better Bosch", and unless I see it myself, I would not believe it can out perform my Electrolux.
While a lotta folks here do not like car anologies, but since you used one, I will too, having had two German Cars, Mercedes Benzes. Heater control unit goes out on one of them. Repair guy says, So you want the "Mercedes Heater Control", it's $900, or do you want the Chrysler one, it's $300, and is the same thing. While You might tell them to put in the Mercedes part, I chose the Chrysler, and it worked just fine!!
So I at least want folks to be aware of "How the Game is Played", they want to play it, fine, it's their money!!!
But at least they will be playing "a bit more Knowledbibly", I hope, after my previous post!
I'm staying out of this one! To return to GromitInWA's question regarding Bosch oven reliability, I have had mine installed just 14 months with no problems with reliability. Mine is used primarily for baking. I have not used the self-clean feature as don't want to push my luck. I'm wondering how many Bosch owners do self-clean their ovens.
I just posted this morning about my very noisy, newest model KitchenAid KEBS277SS so am also interested in the answers to this post. Taking price and on-line comments into consideration, I am leaning toward replacing the KitchenAid with the Bosch 500 series (I have to have a 27" size). Depending on when you (meaning other posters) bought your appliance and which model # you purchased, results can vary widely. All I can say is that my newest KitchenAid double ovens are noisy, with cooling fan turbulence so loud it makes a whistling noise like a teakettle. I have had authorized repair people out and the noise is the same in or out of the cabinet. Whirlpool/KitchenAid claims the sound is normal & 'subjective' as one other person mentioned. I am grateful to know that I am not alone.
All my appliances have been Maytag so I just called Lowes and ordered a new double wall oven in my price range. It was Maytag so I knew it would be great. WRONG!!! As soon as it was installed we turned it on and the fans in the oven came on and oh my gosh! This is a very large kitchen 1k sq. ft. and we could not hear the TV at the other end of the room. Unbelievable! So I called Maytag. The service man and I got into a screaming fight on the phone until he said "Lady if you turn off the fan the oven will MELT!." That's right, that is what he said. THE OVEN WOULD MELT. I hung up and went to look at the oven. I had taken down a wall to take out the old oven and install the new one so one wall beside the oven was not there. The metal walls of this oven were from 1/4" to 1/2" thick. No wonder. It all made sense then. The oven will melt if you turn off that obscenely loud oven FAN. The walls were very thin with little or no insulation. I returned the oven to Lowes the next day and bought a Bosch 300 Series oven that was quiet and only a couple hundred more. Bosch is a VERY QUIET and wonderfully performing oven. Very good buy!
Same experience here. I think that's the reason Bosch is the oven Abt uses IN the showroom to bake cookies...if they used the other brands people would be scared off by the noise (Whirlpool et al) or by the price (Gaggennau).
The other thing we like about our Bosch 300 is it has knobs :)
Just to jump on the Bosch bandwagon:) We love our 500 series oven (thought about the 800 but given the price point and the fact that I like knobs vs electronic control panel), went with it. Very quiet. I am sensitive to noise, and in an open concept kitchen/family room where we were unable to hear the television with our last oven, this has been a perfect fit. My only complaint is that the oven does take a long time to reach temps; once there, it bakes evenly.
I am wondering whether any of you have a Decibel meter? This would be an objective measure of oven noise. (Can you tell my husband is a builder?) If you don't have a dB meter, you can download a free app on your iPhone. Decibel 10th is one app, but there are many.
We are about to replace our GE Monogram. It has been unbearably loud the entire time we have had it. If anybody is able to measure Decibels of your oven and post here, it would be most appreciated!
Well another way to measure the noise and demonstrate it to the folks here in Garden Web, is to use your video camera to record the oven noise, and in fact I've done so with my Electrolux Induction.
My wife and I can not hear anything when it is running, but another poster, listened to my video and heard the high pitch sound She does not like.
So She was not relying on "This 70 year old's Acute Hearing", LOL, She listened for herself.
I could do that for my Elux oven but since it is 7 years old, It "May NOT" reflect accurately the fan noise of the current Electrolux ovens.
Hi cmcfish,
Did you end up buying the Bosch serie 800? I am also leaning towards this one, and having the same concern as you regarding noise. I would be interested to hear about your experience. Alternative for me would be Electrolux or Kitchen aid. Thanks for advising!
My new KA Architect II wall oven was installed this morning. It replaced a 19 year old Jenn-air convection oven in perfect working order but stylistically out of date.
When the installer turned the new oven on to regular bake and I heard the fan - the one that cools the electronic panel - I was appalled. Why would the manufacturer of a 'whisper quiet' dishwasher make an oven with a noisy fan?
If peace and quiet means turning a knob rather than pushing an electronic keypad, I'll take the knob option thanks!
I wish I had been aware of this forum prior to making this purchase. I am so disappointed! Then again my good old Jenn-air is still in the garage...
I have had both 500 and 800 series Bosch ovens and, although relatively quiet, as far as I am concerned they are still annoying for any open concept living space (particularly if you have an oven (or pair of ovens) mounted high up on a wall). I am not "sensitive", but the drone of the sound of the fan cooling the electronics is not desireable. I have competed an extensive search and have not found a single oven available in the US that does not have a fan for cooling the electronics, with the exception of the AGA range. So if you are sensitive or just do not want to be serenaded by a fan whilst dining, you may need to look at the AGA. In our next build we will be putting in an AGA, but I currently have no experience with this appliance; however if a manufacturer comes out with a fanless oven then we will look at that model as well.
I have been informed that a number of manufacturers are currently working on designs and materials that will eliminate the need for a fan to cool the electronics. Hopefully some new models sans fans will be out in the near future.
I'm sorry to hear that new ovens are just as noisy as the old ones. My Kitchen Aid double wall oven with convection on the upper oven was so noisy when I first got it 16 years ago that I had the service man here two times. I couldn't stand it and couldn't believe it wasn't broken or something wasn't wrong with it. I'm very noise sensitive. Finally, I just couldn't believe it could be so loud and be normal so one day DH actually took it out, it was a huge job and he investigated the back of the oven and sure enough there was a loose screw and it was vibrating loudly right along with the running fan. That made a HUGE difference but the fan noise is still very noticeable. But oh so much quieter than with that back metal panel vibrating to beat the band.
It was never explained to me about the fan running to keep the electronics cool. Since I bought probably one of the first convection wall ovens made by KA I thought well, I'm getting the prototype and they will get better with time. It makes me sad that they haven't been able to do a better job with quieting these things down no matter the brand. It's funny today I was at Lowe's and there was a double wall over sitting there marked down as a returned new oven that had a "fan" repair but was in perfect condition. I'm thinking it was probably just normal but the owner couldn't believe how loud it was, lol. It was still $2700 as opposed to about $3300 if memory serves. I'd need a bigger discount to bring that bad boy home if I were now in the market.
I have been looking for a double wall over without convection since I think I used the convection mode one or two times 16 years ago and it didn't seem any better than regular baking so I never used it again. I don't really need to make meals really fast anyway so I wish I could ditch that feature and that would surely make the oven quieter when it's time to replace these. They still look great. Still stylish even with their 16th birthday coming up in July, everything in my kitchen is KA from that era when we built the house. I am afraid when it comes time to replace things that I won't be nearly as happy with the newer appliances with all the new regulations.
Reading about the different brands and the noise problems with them is sort of disheartening. I'm thinking the next thing I will need to update is the dishwasher and reading about those on this forum has me all over the place with what will work as well as my old workhorse Kitchen Aid.
Good luck with your appliances chooses!
Since this post appears to continue to receive new followups, I'll toss in my two cents. My wife is super sensitive about noisy appliances and we needed a new wall oven to replace the 10-year-old Thermador wind tunnel that came with the house. Being of the old analog school, we didn't know about "cooling the electronics" and fans that run all the time and continue on even after the cooking is all done.
We looked at a LOT of ovens, and talked to all our friends who had recently remodeled their kitchens. Some were happy with their oven choices and many were not . We listened to a number of installed ovens (including Miele!) and found that only one, the Bosch, was really pretty quiet.
Not satisfied with this level of subjective research, we went to several appliance showrooms with three decibel meter apps on my iPhone and tested whatever ovens they had fully hooked up. Same result - the Bosch (forget Wolf!!), with the 500 Series posting the lowest number.
We bought a 30" 500 Series single electric wall unit and I installed it. It has been great, despite the fact that much of the enclosing cabinetry has been removed because of a major mold problem (thank you, previous owner!) so it should be even more quiet when we complete the remodel. A surprise: opening the oven about 5" after the cooking job is done shortens the cooling fan run-on to just a few minutes.
It also works much better than the Thermador and has a fast-warmup setting so it's ready to cook very quickly.
BTW, we like the knobs, but realize that they only change the electronic settings. There's no old-timey direct link to any function! They are much easier to use than touch-buttons for setting temperature.
I also have a Bosch 500 oven and have never been bothered by the fan.
I'd like to add that it's not a good idea to open the oven door to "speed up" the cooling process. The reason that the fan is running is to keep the control panel cool during oven heating and cool down. When you open the door, you're blasting that control panel with hot air and defeating the purpose of the fan - which can shorten the life of the electronics in that control panel.
Thanks, skitdel, for the heads up on opening the door. Not sure if it's true, as a couple of appliance people recommended doing so, and it would seem to me that whatever reading is being made for the temperature around the electronics would be near the electronics - but that's certainly not a given. It could just be the main sensor in the oven interior. But the air coming out of the oven is rising pretty rapidly past the front of the controls and since it generally turns off in a couple minutes, I'm not sure how hot things would get.
However, it's a useful thought, I should check the surface temperature of the front of the control area on different occasions with and without opening the door. The area around the door frame will already be hot and not likely to get any hotter than it is during cooking, so that shouldn't be a factor.
One scenario that might support your comment would be if the temperature sensor that controls the fan on/off is located at the bottom of the oven. Cooler air entering the lower section while hotter air rushes out the opened door would result in a quicker turn-off while the upper area near the controls remains warmer.
But the whole oven would cool down more quickly if the door is left ajar for a few more minutes. The smart thing, then, would to leave the door open a bit longer.
If I learn anything more, I'll report back. In any case, the time the fan runs after the oven has been used and the door remains closed is pretty short anyway, so this is sort of a moot point. It's not anywhere near as long as our friend's new Miele.
I was just passing along what a Bosch repair tech had told me, which seemed to make sense since the control panel stays very cool while the fan runs but warms up a bit when the fan shuts down.
My oven arrived with the control panel DOA and needed service before it was first used. So, maybe his advice was more cautious than necessary. I haven't had any problems in the 3+ years since then.

This is so widespread and well known that the only person in the universe who bitches about it is.... Michael from Phoronix. For everybody else, its "meh."
What about PCIe hotplug support? I've tested hotplugging on a few Intel desktop and server motherboards with an ExpressCard adapter board. Strangely I could get hotplug going on a Core2Duo board (with PCIEHP force option) but not on a Corei7 board.The change in the Linux 2.6.38 kernel disabled ASPM unless the BIOS advertised support for it, but it turns out a vast number of systems supporting ASPM do not actually advertise it from the BIOS
The only way I could get ExpressCard hotplug working reliably was using ACPI hotplugging on laptop ExpressCard slots...
as for your previous comment, if a stability regression is fixed and causes a power regression then yes they went about it the right way, of course its not nice your laptop used more power but if it was your laptop that would become unstable you would be ranting even more.
it seems to be fixed, be happy and if you can do it better and faster I am pretty sure there is a job for you waiting with the kernel developers.
I'd venture to say ASPM works fine on Windows as the BIOS in most cases is coded to hand off _OSC control to Windows only and not to any other OS including Linux. That patch is a good solution and to enable ASPM for DEVICES that support it rather than for the BIOS then that's a usable solution IMHO.
Nice work Michael!
Yes thats the solution just make it against the LAW no more talk about problems at all.
this is the new age of bug-free Linux solutions. there is no bug because all bugs are against the LAW!
