This page highlights the planning process for the new College of Art and Design, including the approvals process with the City of Cambridge, the architectural designs of Bruner/Cott and the approach to restoring the historic 19th century church for a new purpose that has preserved the building as a treasured Cambridge landmark.
The Lesley University College of Art and Design has
relocated from Kenmore Square in Boston to Cambridge, bringing a community of artists
and creating a cultural center in the heart of Porter
In conversations with both Lesley and Cambridge community groups, neighbors and city
officials, plans centered on transforming the historic former North
Prospect Church into a new center of learning, art making, public
exhibition and arts-related events.
The new College of Art and Design is a prominent and significant member of the already-vibrant Cambridge
arts community. On a site adjacent to Lesley's University Hall, in a
bustling city square with an eclectic mix of retail and dining options, it provides new art galleries, an arts library and
well-designed gathering spaces.
The new
location affords Art and Design students increased exposure to and interaction with
a community that has a storied tradition of supporting the arts as an
important component of urban life. The College of Art and Design also brings to
Cambridge a new resource of artistic partnership, art exhibition, and a
year-round program of guest artists, lectures and symposia by artists of
local, national and international renown.

Tampa, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Tampa Bay Lightning announced on Wednesday that goaltender Ben Bishop will not play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals against the Montreal Canadiens.
Bishop is still not ready to go, having missed the remaining three games of the regular season after suffering an apparent wrist injury.
The University of Maine product exited an Apr. 8 game with the Maple Leafs less than six minutes in after he landed on his left wrist diving for a deflection.
The 27-year-old posted a 37-14-7 record in 63 games this season with a 2.23 goals-against average and a .924 save percentage.
Anders Lindback, who stopped 77-of-79 shots since his installment as starter in Bishop's absence, will get the call for the series opener.
Lindback has participated in only one previous postseason contest, a 13- minute, nine-save stint in 2011 for the Nashville Predators.

Local chapter of American Culinary Fed. holds tasting party in Eliot
Tuesday, January 29, 2013
ELIOT, Maine — Sunday was a good news — good news day in Eliot, Maine as the Piscataqua Chapter of the American Culinary Federation held its annual Great Chefs Tasting Party.
Visiting Chefs Bryant Alden of The Chef's Market of North Conway and Lisa Somerville of Vintage Baking of Glen were serving up saut�ed wild mushrooms on homemade brioche toast, much to the delight of diners. Alden and Somerville are members of the White Mountain branch of the ACF.
One of the benefactors, the Common Table in Portsmouth has a long relationship with local chefs. The Common Table takes place at St. John's Episcopal Church in Portsmouth every Thursday at noon.
Stratham's Judy Roberts, one of the church's team leaders for the Common Table explained, "we started in 2000 as a good thing to do for people in the community. We serve homeless, low income, elderly and pretty much anyone. We started with about 60 guests and now we serve approximately 160 each week." Local professional chefs assist as well as more than 50 volunteers from around the Seacoast.
Judy's husband Lew described it as "reaching out to the Seacoast. We even have Easter Seal kids come in the day before and make cookies for the next day."
Some offerings needed a little describing. Amy Linnehan of Hampton Falls was overheard getting an explanation for suppli which is a form of rice ball stuffed with cheese.

2. Equally Obstinate (Aragorn)
prompt for December 2 - 23 obstinate oliphaunts
Equally Obstinate
One oliphaunt was daunting. Aragorn rapidly counted the animals milling in the valley below him. A herd of twenty-three... he swallowed hard.
To get the job, he had to find the lead oliphaunt, take hold of the red ring on her head and lead her out. The rest would follow. Red? It had sounded like red.
Shouldering past a curious youngster not much larger than a horse, he grabbed a red ring and tugged. She rolled her eyes. Planting his feet, he tugged harder, and found himself on his back with the herd leisurely heading away. He stood and followed.

Questions & Answers
Low Price Guarantee
Lightweight design with sleek new light-alloy buckle system, made in our very own Italian factory, this boot will perform. On the track or on the trails, you will enjoy the comfortable GX-1.
Comment: Very comfortable.. sizes are correct.. very light boots.. love the buckles.. shipping from jafrum was very fast
Dee Thomas
Olney Illinois
Gaerne manufacturers some of the best motorcycle boots available, and their
flagship models in both the street and off road categories rival the best in the
world. Gaerne is unique, though, in that they pay as much attention to their
entry level models as they do they're flagship models. The features of the
GX-1's aren't as fancy versus the SG12's, and they don't have quite the level of
all out comfort that the SG10's possess, but the quality of workmanship and
attention to detail is uncompromised. These boots are real nice.
FYI for our overseas customers, like the React boot, the GX-1 is available with
a Goodyear welt type sole. While there is also a molded sole version and soles
with heavier tread available abroad, they are not available here in the US.
The GX-1 is available in a black or a white color way, and in sizes seven to
thirteen. As per Gaerne's usual, the fitment is accurate to a professional grade
foot measuring device, like one found at a shoe store. I found these narrower,
though, than Gaerne's other three models. Not just in the foot, either, but up
passed the ankle, as well. So, if you have wider feet, or more pronounced ankle
bones, you're going to want to step up to one of gaerne's hinged and pivoted
models for sure.
The biggest noticeable difference between these boots and the others in the
Gaerne line up is the ankle system. The GX-1's don't have a hinge type mechanism
like the other models do. The ankle reinforcement is cleverly designed though,
and is only connected on the medial side of the boot at the ankle bone
protector. The panels of material in the negative space are arranged in a way
that the boot is still really flexible.
Another difference is in the toe area. The toe box is left open on the medial
side of the foot, as opposed to being completely covered in TPU. The toe box is
still very rigid, though, and offers plenty of protection for recreational
Protection is also found in the way of a TPU shin plate and metal toe cap.
Opening up the GX-1 exposes the muck shunning gaitor and the moisture wicking

I'm pretty sure the trade rule is that 10 points is the maximum that you can trade.
na, one points not that big of a deal
Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
Trell don't take the one less point and I can give you the PF you want!
I offered five picks and a good and young PF, just for Oneil and 2 points!

Wow a single league point may nix this very good trade for the.lakers

He keeps saying other offers sucked but i offered him stromile swift straight up for baron davis.and he didnt take that but he is okay with this one.
Anyway, again. Trell, if you like the trade and would take it for 10 points still, then speak up. If not, contact Balls and work it out.
Also, I know some owners commenting in this thread didn't like when others commented about the "fairness" in their own trade threads. So let's keep that in mind before we continuously blast and beat a dead horse.

What's funny is the majority of the people complaining, are ones that "offered way better deals". I offered what I thought were way better deals than deals i've seen go down, never said a peep.
The only bad part about that trade was the Mavs first. I should have gotten a better first rounder.
Can only trade 10 points.

I personally don't like when people give their opinion of a trade before its been approved by both parties by someone not even involved in the deal. I don't like that part of how the trade threads work. but i guess that's how it's going to be unless CP3 changes it.

Figures. After month of holding out, I finally caved-in and installed Flash this week. And now this...
Phoronix: Lightspark 0.5.6 Brings New Flash Features
In light of Adobe killing Flash for Linux, there's a new release of the open-source Lightspark Flash Player. Lightspark 0.5.6 is the new release with a number of noteworthy improvements...
Figures. After month of holding out, I finally caved-in and installed Flash this week. And now this...
Could you install one more version of flash to bump lightspark to the next level again please?
I think GNASH is around for a long time, also.
Seems like Flash developers should star avoid "Latest and greatest" requirements for their Flash products
and treat Flash as legacy technology - that still needs to be supported for some time.
Also I hope developers will not have their Flash compatible project Linux-only, since it is easy to forget portability and other platforms like BSDs and Solaris/Illumos.
And yes, it is important to to be tied only to Intel/Amd x86-64 architecture.

Now what does Firefox 10 mean? There is FF 11 out for some time now. Is that already supported? Because if not, umm, I know Mozilla was going crazy with the versions and numbers, but then, if there is a security issue I quickly emerge / install a newer browser version.
Hopefully Gnash and Lightspark will come along quickly since Adobe seems to drop that flash support completely. And as long as there is inevitable flash content on the web we need something to deal with it.
Well, 5 years of any support is still better than nothing. We'll see what future brings for us.
Start hitting up sites to support HTML5 and WebM. Also get on Google's ass for not pulling the trigger on forcing support for WebM via Android and via Safari and Internet Explorer plugins offered during the install of any of Google's software like Earth and Picasa. Why waste all that money and everyone's time with WebM if they aren't even going to leverage it? Come on, WebM support should be mandatory for licensing on all devices shipping with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, especially since pretty much every DSP that can accelerate H.264 can also accelerate VP8/WebM.

I know there's some way to translate those stamps. How does that one break down? I'll have to check my bottle to see what the stamp on it says....
If you have anything Michter's or Pennco and would like to sell it or share it with me, please let me know.
I thought it broke down as 12 = 2012 109 = 109th day 10:03 = 10:03am dont know what the letters mean though.
Tico - That could be possible, I tried to look through with a light but didnt see anything. did think it was weird that it wouldnt have one.
I just checked a Fall 2011 VEFRR and there is no code; the 20 from the same release has one of the old versions.
I have a bottle from 2008 that has a code. Wonder what was different in 2011.

Meeting focuses on multifamily housing in agricultural zones
Wednesday, February 27, 2013
ROCHESTER — During their joint meeting on the comprehensive rezoning project, City Councilors and Planning Board members discussed multifamily housing in agricultural zones, and discussed upcoming meetings to seek public input on the project.
Fontneau said that multifamily developments, such as apartment buildings, haven't been permitted in agricultural zones for many years.
City Manager Daniel Fitzpatrick said that when the deal was signed to have a manufacturing plant move into the city — to be a colocation of Safran USA and Albany Engineered Composites — his thought was that Rochester needs more housing. Without available mid- to high-income housing, he said employees moving from other areas of the country, or even from Europe, may choose to move to Dover or Portsmouth rather than to the Lilac City.

The Sierra Music Festival opens this week at Cerro Coso College, with plenty of strings attached.
Actually, there are just four strings, but they are attached to a violin painted by Lady Jill Mueller and signed by Dave and Roma McCoy.
The instrument will be an item in Chamber Music Unbound's Fifth Annual Auction after the opening Mammoth Lakes Music Festival concert at the college, with opening bids beginning at $1,000.
It is not the first time the chamber group has auctioned a violin. Impresario Brian Schuldt said previous auctions of violins have raised an average $1,500 a piece over the years.
All the auction items can also be viewed, and bids began to be received July 2 at www.ChamberMusicUnbound.org.
Auction proceeds support the Music Festival and the concurrent Sierra Academy of Music.
This year's unique piece depicts the view of Minaret Vista on the face, and the lake basin of Rock Creek Canyon on the back.
Mueller has been a professional artist for 34 years and has a large following in the Eastern Sierra.
She said moving to the mountains from Southern California in 1971 allowed her to explore the Sierra Nevada. In 1983, she moved from the California side of the border to the Nevada side to live in the rugged terrain there.
The instrument itself is not particularly noteworthy, said Schuldt, who characterized it as a "student" violin.
That's hardly the point, though.
This is more of a display piece of art rather than a working instrument, and that piece of information is the last string attached.

Prime World
Prime World is a MOBA developed by Nival set in a world stuck in a state of conflict between two warring nations. Jump into the boots of one of many dozens of characters with a wide variety of powers and customizations at your disposal. Between battles, return to your castle where you can build, expand, and acquire new talents in order to boost your combat abilities. In Prime World, the progression endures beyond the scope of the match.
Publisher: Nival
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Medium
Type: MOBA with RTS Elements
EXP Rate: Medium
PvP: Match-based
Filesize: 1.25 ~ GB
Pros: +Novel mix of city-building and MOBA. +Vivid, colorful graphics and design. +Visually thematic and different factions. +Tons of interesting skins. +Interesting and tactically important native land mechanic.
Cons: -Talent system feels clumsy and awkward. –Some heroes have limited amounts of skills. -City building is limited. –Lack of in-game equipment.
Prime World Overview
Prime World is a MOBA by developer Nival that brings some interesting variation to the formula that we know and love. In essence, the top-down strategy aspect is only part of the game, the other one being a village-building experience focused on unlocking and improving your repertoire of characters. There are two visually different but functionally similar factions who share the same heroes (with some exceptions) with different skins, one of them embodying technology while the other embodies the forces of nature. Prime World also adds some interesting mechanics, such as the native lands, which reward you for activating your skills on familiar terrain, or the sex-based mechanics which grant special effects when used on members of the opposite sex. Whether you're looking for an enjoyable, progression-intensive experience, or simply a variation on the classic MOBA gameplay, Prime World has something to offer.

Prime World Review
Full Review
By Gui
The still young MOBA genre has had the chance to be the recipient of much attention from fans and developers alike, with new titles popping up left and right, some even braving the field with new innovations. As you might've guessed, Prime World is one such title. Developed by Nival and released a few years back in Russia where it was a success, it crosses at last the Atlantic to give American audiences a taste of its colorful, hybrid style gameplay. If you've ever wondered how the MOBA genre could be expanded and widened, then read on, as Prime World might've just begun answering that question.
Technology & Magic
For a start, you might've seen already through the screenshots that Prime World is a colorful, vivid, and lush looking game, with a thematic approach oriented on the duality between technology and nature. Your choice of faction (Imperium or Keepers) will determine the "palette" of your castle town and your choice of heroes. This is a graphically polished title, to say the very least – the interfaces look clean and streamlined, the characters look different and have loads of personality, and while the player cities are nothing impressive, there are enough character skin varieties to easily compensate for that tiny downside (mostly considering you won't spend a lot of time in the city, but more on that later). There are some oddities related to technical aspects, such as incapacity of taking some aspect ratios, but this most likely won't be an issue for most, and we found the entire experience to be relatively bug free. As soon as you start, you're given a series of tutorials on how to get around – nothing crazy, but enough to get you started. Prime World is not a very complex experience until you get into the competitive aspects, but some areas do require a bit of clarification.
Prime World is a fusion of two games, one of them being the castle building, "Farmville" style gameplay I've mentioned earlier, and the other being the traditional MOBA game we all know and love. They're not exactly styles that complement each other, but Prime World does it in such a way that it functions well, and sometimes even shines. You're first introduced to the castle building aspect with your choice of faction. The principle is simple; you build resource generating buildings, whose resources are then used or refined into silver pieces or critically important Prime crystals for a variety of purposes ranging from buying talents, to upgrading buildings.
Character skills, known as talents, can then be purchased, upgraded, and modified through the use of this system, and new heroes purchased. In essence, the role of the castle building is to support, prop up, and give a sense of long term progression to the MOBA aspect, which it manages to do fairly well. There is even a quest system implemented, though it feels a bit simple and tacked-on. The downside of this system is that it's just not all that interesting, and feels more like an interim to matches and an attempt to squeeze some tiny additional character boosts, than a genuine attempt to make Prime World a more entertaining experience. The talent system is also awkward and confusing to comprehend, and does not contribute to the experience in any significant way. It does however give a much needed bit of customization to the progression.
Home Advantage
The MOBA aspect is essentially where most of the fun and innovation is at. At its core, it's what you would expect from a MOBA – players on two teams duking it out over a two-sided map, using heroes with a variety of roles ranging from damage dealers, to support. Each team has to push to the other team's base in order to damage their barracks, unlock upgraded troops, and eventually overwhelm the opponent's base. Where it gets interesting however, is through a new mechanic called "Native Land", which has you capturing points placed at different intervals along the lane. These points advance your home terrain forward, enabling you to use upgraded versions of your powers, some of which are insanely powerful. This makes native land far more important than towers, and can very easily mean the difference between victory and defeat. Your character progresses during the game by unlocking a variety of character-specific and generic talents using prime, acquired in the classic method of MOBA games – killing creatures and opponents. There is a significant downside however, which is that there is no such thing as purchasable equipment in Prime World (consumables aside), and the progression focuses ENTIRELY on the player's selection of talents, causing the experience to feel a little bit too simplistic. This is a crucial design choice, and while it was not at all to this reviewer's taste, some might enjoy the tactic rather than progression focus.
Odds & Ends
Another oddity is the lack of traditional skills, instead replaced by a skill bar whose talents can be swapped out between games. Oh, did we mention the mini-game? That's right, there is a mini-game inside each team's bases (during the game), that has you matching little spheres of color, awarding you a bit of prime, and if you succeed, a scroll you can send to one of your team mates. The downside? Well, while you're playing peggle back in your base, you're not in your lane fighting the enemy. This is definitely one of Prime World's weirder features, and we can't help thinking that there might be a better way to implement a team support activity than through a mini-game. It IS however pretty fun, and is an interesting touch of innovation. The cash shop follows (to some extent) the League of Legend model, with gold allowing you to purchase some truly incredible character skins. It also allows you to speed up the various processes (production, refinement, etc.) happening around your castle town. Thankfully, it does NOT allow you to have an in-game advantage on the adversary (barring being able to unlock characters earlier).
Final Verdict: Good
Prime World is a breath of innovation in the new but thriving genre of MOBAs. It integrates the gameplay that we know and love with a somewhat awkward but interesting progression system. There is a lot to love, and if you can look over the sometimes odd design choices, then Prime World might just be the title for you. It has the character, the guts, and the flashiness we like to see in free-to-play titles. We're uncertain if Prime World is the future of MOBAs, but one thing is sure; it takes a very adventurous step in that direction. We hope that other developers will take example, and do the same.

Ok, here is the thing with me. I make clothes. I design them, I make the patterns and I sew the pieces. Over the last few months I have been experimenting with this and that and working on a very small collection to sell on Etsy. I hadn't yet narrowed things down but I decided to sell all the pieces I had so far since the quest for my perfect collection can go on forever if I tried. I took photos and mentioned an upcoming sample sale and everyone here has been very kind (thank you!). Last week I had a trip planned to San Francisco so about 5 days before leaving I uploaded everything onto Etsy because I knew it would be a time consuming processes. I expected the things to just sit there until I got back from San Fran at which point I would make some sort of effort at spreading the word but then the strangest thing happened..... the stuff started selling all by itself. The items in my sample sale section all sold out in a couple of days. One item in particular, the "Jimmy Dress", received the most attention and requests. Who knew???
(Jimmy Dress short sleeve version (L), tunic version(R).
At this time there are still a few things left in my shop and lots more to come. I am working on a pair of high-waisted denim shorts right now as well as a new backless sun dress that should be pretty dope. I also brought back a huge amount of fabric with me back from San Fran (go weak dollar!) which I am also really looking forward to working with.
So I would like to again, thank all my customers thus far and all the lovely people who made unexpected but very much appreciated posts about my collection.
Lastly, I want to add that the content of this blog will remain the same, however, I will be adding sewing and possibly pattern making tutorials in the future so if there is anything in particular anyone would like to learn, let me know in the comments and I will do my best to make it happen.

Steeped in poetry
Poet, author and gardener Charles Goodrich played a lead role as he read from his published work. But many others signed up to share their own work or favorite pieces from other writers.
Reference librarian Courtney Terry helped organize the series, which was introduced over the summer as part of the library's adult summer reading program. She said it met with such wide support and success the library decided to keep it going.
"The program started because I had a patron who was a poet and was looking for somewhere in the community where he could read and share his poetry," Terry said. "After searching, I found that even though there was a really supportive arts community, there wasn't a poetry reading type of community."
She said that the success of the three held so far has been both encouraging and exciting for the library, as one of its main focuses is to expand its programs beyond its own walls.
"We wanted to do programs that put the library out into the community more, because everything we do is so community-oriented and community-based," Terry said. She also noted, "We wanted to find a way to interact and collaborate with local businesses."
Those who took part often shared raw and personal writing with the group. The emotions, insights, perspectives and muses they invoked were stimulating and even therapeutic, people in attendance said.
Goodrich, who has been writing and sharing poetry for years, said he has found public readings an important aspect in his attempt to connect with others.
"Reading is a separate but related art to writing," he said. "Writing is a solitary act for the most part, so it's when you get out and share it with people that (you introduce) the community-building element."
The library is planning another reading at the tea bar on Feb. 6. For more information, visit www.maclibrary.org.

Utrecht's Manglon Synthetic Brushes (Series 239) are constructed with unique multi-colored, multi-diameter synthetic Taklon. Each filament is tapered to a fine point, dyed, and then set into black-plated seamless brass ferrules. The ferrules are securely fastened with deep double crimping on long black lacquered handles.
Manglon Synthetic Brushes are great for use with oils and acrylic paints. Known for their excellent paint capacity, these brushes have the silky feel of fine sable, an extraordinary snap-back, and great shape retention. They work well for sharp, clean brushwork and edging with medium-bodied to heavy-bodied paints.
Note — Brush sizes are not standardized. The length and width of a brush of a given shape and size varies considerably by manufacturer. Since fine art brushes are hand crafted, expect some variation even among brushes from a given manufacturer.

Has anyone attempted to build the executable from source on Precise? (the prefab binary complained about libjpeg15)
I use Ubuntu 12.10 alpha.
$ ./warsow.x86_64
./warsow.x86_64: error while loading shared libraries: libpng15.so.15: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Doesn't work.
I have to use the Windows version in Wine, then it works.

Product Description
Kenmore 5.7 cu. ft. Electric Range - Versatility
This high-performance Kenmore electric range 9420 has a ceramic glass cooktop with five elements. Dual elements fit different pan sizes, and the powerful TurboBoil element provides intense heat. The cooktop warming zone and the oven's Warm & Hold setting keep dishes hot and ready to serve. The spacious convection oven accommodates multiple dishes at once with two integrated handle racks and a step rack. Settings such as delay cook, variable self-cleaning and slow cook are accessible from the convenient electronic control panel. For versatile cooking, this Kenmore electric range can't be beat.
- The Turbo Boil FLEX element combines a single high and low wattage element to deliver rapid heat and slow warming so you can warm, boil and simmer without moving the pot.
- Warm & Hold keeps dishes at the perfect serving temperature for hours without overcooking and works with timed bake and delay cook settings, so meals are ready when you are.
- The dual element swaps from 6- to 12-inch sizes in seconds, giving pots and pans the fit they need for even heat and optimum cooking.
- Easy Set™ electronic oven controls automate temperature, timer and other features so you can bake a pie, roast beef or cook a casserole with just the touch of a finger.
- The Variable Self Clean feature lets you choose the cleaning time from 2 to 4 hours, so you can save time and energy when the oven only needs a quick touch-up.
- Durable and sleek, the ceramic glass cooktop adds a modern look to the kitchen while cleaning spills easily, fending off scrapes and avoiding damage from dropped utensils.

Got this with other applicances on Saturday. Sears delivery personel handled them with great care and had everything in and assembled everything, cleaned up and left in no time. This is our first convection oven with a glass top and I must say my wife loves it. We've only used it a few times but the ease of using it and cleaning things up is great. 3 Racks in the oven is wonderful too, now my wife makes 3 trays of cookies at once.

I did buy one of these ranges, but I would not buy another one. The range top is a basic top and works like any other electric....on....off...on. My issue is the oven. I have to amend the cooking time every time I use it. Something as simple as cookies...and I have tested this many times....I have to raise the temps and increase the time. I understand different ovens may cook differently, but this is a pain. The rest of the stove operates about like any other.

This Range is Great! The Oven operates at the temperature you set it at. Preheating is so fast compared to our previous range.For the price we paid you can not beat the features! we got it on sale and picked it up at the warehouse the next morning. Very Happy with it. Thanks Kenmore Joe

We purchased this new stove because our old one quit working. The cooktop has been great to cook on and love the Turbo Boil. We do a lot of baking around the holidays so the convection feature is an added bonus. It cooks everything to true timing and temperature. It takes a little longer than usual for the preheat, but it is well worth it.
the white enamel is wiping off the edges where the heat vents at the back of the range. Gets very hot on the dials above the oven vent. Enamel also wiping off the edges above the oven door now. When I say wiping I mean when I wash the stove the enamel wipes off onto my wet dish cloth. There is no outlet for plugging in an electric mixer to beat icings while they cook so unless you have an outlet next to the range boiled icings will be a thing of the past for you. As the unit ages the oven heats hotter and hotter the longer you have it on. When you use the self cleaning feature the fumes come up and vent out and as they do they deposit a brown stain that can never be removed. The drawer under the stove gets very hot and could be used as a warmer oven except that the drawer slides poorly and once out is hard to get in again so could be dangerous to use to keep foods warm. I keep my muffin tins in there and they are always very warm if the oven is running for awhile. I have had my range for a few years now and can say that it is OK in other respects but I will not purchase another one. Oh , and my girlfriend bought the identical one to mine about the same time, had to have it replaced a year later because of oven issues and now her second one is doing the same as mine. She also is unhappy with it and would not buy this range again. Just so you know I have a house full of Kenmore appliances, have had for years, and enjoy them all quite fine, just not this stove. A real Kenmore girl!

Just installed this range a few days ago. I am amazed at how fast the range top and oven heat up. I cannot comment on how easy/hard the glass top is to clean as I have not had the unit long enough yet. I have used the oven several times with an oven thermometer inside and the heat settings are accurate. So far, I am impressed.
