Thank You, Bret by David - 07/08/2010
I came in to get a part that my son had asked me to get for him. I didn't know much about the part at all but knew about where it went. Bret took over and worked on finding the part. I finally called my son and let him talk to Bret. Bret worked until he found the part. He worked on it for about 30 min. I really appreciate the time he took to find the correct part. It had to be ordered but he worked until he found it. Thank You, Bret for your time and your effort. I really appreciate it.

Iowa View: Transmission Line Will Connect Iowa's Wind to the World
January 14 -- I have been farming most of my life. I understand the value of owning, farming, and living on some of the most fertile soil in the world. I also understand how important it is to have a mechanism to bring our products to market. Without a farm-to-market route, the bounty of Iowa's abundant natural resources would not be able to help feed the world, and farmers would not be able to enjoy the fruits of their labor.
Iowa has another natural resource in abundance that needs to get to market: wind. With the seventh-best wind resource in the country, Iowa is poised to lead the fastest-growing electricity production industry in the world. However, you may have noticed wind turbines are standing still. That is because the necessary infrastructure to carry wind energy to market has not kept pace with the demand. >>View Article

January 14 -- Despite similar climates, both political and meteorological, Georgia and Alabama could not be more different in their approach to solar power. While Georgia's conservative leaders have moved to foster this increasingly robust industry and the many jobs and consumer benefits it provides, Alabama has seen no similar leadership.
The difference isn't due to weather. Both states are comparable in terms of solar power potential, among the sunniest in the nation. The difference is in policy - while Georgia's policymakers see the value in promoting the state's clean energy economy through cost-effective solar investments, Alabama has shown no similar inclination and has even erected solar-killing barriers. >>View Article

Pitfall in Sputum Cytology:
Protoctista Resembling Adenocarcinoma Cells
Rafael Martı ´nez-Giro ´n, M.D., Ph.D.1*and Andre ´s Ribas-Barcelo ´, M.D., A.P., C.P.1,2
The existence of various microorganisms, eukaryote in struc-
ture, that lack certain characteristics expressed in other King-
doms (animals, plants, and fungi) has resulted in the appear-
ance of the Protoctista Kingdom.1This Kingdom comprises a
diverse group of eukaryote microorganisms, grouped in vari-
ous Phyla, among which there are certain classes of algae,
such as Chlorophyta. The order of volvocales,2formed of
colonies of spherical cells (from 8, 16, 32, 64 up to 128) em-
bedded in a clear gelatinous matrix, belongs to this kingdom.
Each triangular-round cell contains a nucleus, more or less
central, a pyrenoid, and a contractile vacuole into which are
inserted two flagella. Freshwater colonies are widely distrib-
uted in pools, ditches, reservoirs, and lakes.
We describe in a sputum smear stained with the Papanico-
laou technique, and corresponding to a 68-yr-old-man who
presented various episodes of hemoptysis and with COPD
clinical antecedents, the presence of a contaminant, a proto-
ctista structure, catalogued as a Chlorophyte alga (presum-
ably Eudorina sp.). The moruliform disposition of the cells,
with very striking nuclei and the nonvisualization of the ge-
latinous capsule (Fig. C-1A), resembles certain types of Ade-
nocarcinoma. Under greater magnification, the existence of a
capsule and the presence of flagella in two cells (Fig. C-1B)
are suggested. To confirm the existence of the capsule, the
preparation was discolored and restained using the Peryodic
Acid Schiff (PAS) technique, evidencing the existence of a
PAS (+) structure surrounding all the cells in the form of a
capsule (Fig. C-2).
To catalogue this structure as a contaminant, the pres-
ence of inexistent structures in human cells such as con-
tractile vacuole, flagella, and a gelatinous capsule were
considered. Furthermore, with a careful microscopic exam-
ination of two consecutive samples corresponding to the
same patient, similar structures were not found.
We postulate that this peculiar contaminant came from
tap water used during staining procedure or due to a con-
tamination of the sputum in the oral cavity.
This case highlights the importance of considering
uncommon findings in cytological smears (artefacts and
contaminants) to avoid false positives and, with a care-
ful evaluation, establish a correct cytodiagnosis.

Day 49 - Oudtshoorn, South Africa
The second day of the Garden Route trip involved a lengthy drive in the morning from Cape Agulhas to Oudtshoorn. The drive was very scenic with numerous mountain passes and rolling hills. The minivan is compact but not as comfortable as the overland truck. The first activity was another wine tasting in the Oudtshoorn area, the wine was a higher quality then yesterday and the setting was stunning but I'm still struggling with the concept ...

When caught, this tortoise emits high-pitched cries, sometimes for as long as an hour after capture. This loud sound would startle a predator and it would potentially give up.

China, the fastest growing industrial nation in the world, is desperate for cheap energy. Seeking to emulate the U.S. shale gas boom that has brought turbulence to North American markets, China is striving to reach a target of producing 6.5 billion cubic meters per year by 2015, and up to 100 billion cubic meters by 2020.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
12/14/2012 (2 years ago)
Published in Asia Pacific
Keywords: China, shale oil, fracking, Texas, energy
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Experts say that these figures are a bit too ambitious given that China's nascent industry currently produces small volumes and faces a daunting list of challenges.
"This is not going to be as easy as everybody thought three years ago," founder and chief executive of Breitling Oil and Gas Chris Faulkner says. "I think it's starting to sink in that this is a huge challenge for China."
Faulkner's Texas company has helped Two of China's largest state-owned oil and gas companies, CNOOC and Sinopec, have been assisted by Faulkner's Texas company to conduct seismic surveys for shale gas.
Extracting shale gas was made possible by the introduction of hydraulic fracturing, better known as "fracking," involves the injection of large volumes of water, sand and chemicals at high pressure into the ground in order to shatter rock formations and release trapped gas.
"This was a technology that had been under development for some time. But in the last few years in the U.S., you've really seen large-scale commercial development," Alvin Lin, China climate and energy policy director at the U.S.-based Natural Resources Defense Council in Beijing says.
However -- the vast quantities of water needed for fracking is a major problem in China, given the country's current water scarcity. Two-thirds of all Chinese cities suffer water shortages. China contains only 2,100 cubic meters of renewable water resources per person, or about 28 percent of the global average. In contrast, the U.S. has 17,000 cubic meters per person.
As such, fracking would strain already-stretched water supplies in China. And the possibility of controversial fracking fluids contaminating supplies is a worrying risk in a country where 300 million people lack access to clean drinking water.
"[Officials] are aware of the reception that fracking has had in the U.S. in terms of environmental and health concerns. It is certainly on the radar, and I think it will be perhaps one of the largest barriers to developing shale gas on a large scale in China," Lin says.
Faulkner says that drilling shale well in the U.S. usually consumes eight to 10 million gallons of water. In China, that rises to 10 to 13 million gallons because of the country's shale geology.
Fracturing these Chinese deposits is tough, which have a high kerogen and clay content. Faulkner likens the task to "taking a fresh box of play dough and trying to frack it."
China's most promising shale-bearing basins lie in Sichuan province and in the remote Xinjiang region in the far west. Chinese companies have favored Sichuan as it is already a major gas production base and has pipelines in place to pump gas to markets.
The shale there is "deep and located in mountainous terrain, so therefore difficult to get out", Barnes says.
"There're very few land-based rigs that can drill that deep, that far. And that equipment does not exist in China."
In addition, fracking has been linked to small earthquakes in Canada, the U.S. and the UK. That may present a risk in Sichuan, which was devastated by a quake in 2008.
Experts assure others that the seismic danger can be mitigated.
"I don't believe fracking causes earthquakes unless you frack over a fault. You don't want to be out there fracking anything unless you understand the geologies. They need to understand the geologies to see if there're any faults," Faulkner says.

A 'White feather hosta' question?
I ordered a 'white feather hosta' from Hirtz's gardens a couple of weeks ago and it has finally started putting up new growth.
The leaves coming up are a very thick leaf with green with lighter coloring.
I called them and explained this, and they told me that the very first year, it does not grow white leaves. They told me it is common and that I should start getting white leaves once it is established next year.
Has anyone ever heard of this before? I really expected to see white leaves and instead I get green ones.
Thanks so much:-)
White Feather is an undulata. Just like H. Undulata... as the season progresses... the white will turn to green. Its chlorophyll, you know... that thing that makes a plant grow. Generally the first flush of leaves will be the whitest, most of the time pure white, then as the season progresses, the veins will darken to green and the leaves will become misty green to pure green. Sometimes your second flush of leaves will even be pure green. Also, fertilizing the hosta will magnify the greening. I ordered
mine a few years ago as TC, they weren't unfurled at the time... they did unfurl into pure white...
They were beautiful at the time... granted I don't have the biggest collection around... but I do have to say white feather is probably my least favorite... It has been a pain to grow... its a super slug magnet.. ugly for most of the season.. a hard rain will ruin most of the leaves... etc etc... truly a novelty cultivar thats best pampered in a pot...
You see. Here's the thing everyone.
It' first flush of the season is green! They are saying this is common for s new white feather hosta.
Are they lying to me and sent me a fake?
I bought a white feather and expected its first flush to be white

I thought of a few more questions?
If it is so hard to please this plant in the ground, exposed to all these bad elements such as slug, cold, and rain, how many prefer to grow these in containers? Is it a better idea? Is there any disadvantage?

Carrying on a conversation with yourself? lol
You see. Here's the thing if I had White Feather I would give you my experience, but I don't. A couple have responded, and since you haven't received the Exact Response you wanted in only a day and a half - perhaps you might be a bit over anxious - give it a week or so and give people a chance to respond. This forum is very active, but most probably don't grow White Feather - that may tell you something.
This is the only hosta my DH has ever bought on his own. He was so excited to see the white shoots emerging from the pot. I didn't want to burst his bubble and let him know that the white was going to be short lived.
Here's a picture of our's last season when it emerged:
Like I said in an earlier post, it came up green this year. You can tell it's White Feather though, from the white streaks in it's leaves. My DH put it in a pot last year in a prominent spot, but it's slowly worked it's way into the back of the garden.
It is possible that you didn't get a White Feather, I don't think they are lying and have sent you a fake though. Tags do get mixed up.
If you have some white streaking in your leaves, you probably do have a White Feather.
I don't think it's very attractive and the leaves have no substance. As our garden fills up, it will probably be one that we give away.
There is another hosta which has the white between the veins and green veins, and it is Tony Avent's Hosta White Wall Tires. I don't know anything else about it, but it looks nice to me.
Over this last year of reading the forum comments, I've backed off wanting a lot of white in my leaves. They are too much trouble, and I'm not that albescent fixated. I've made some weird (i.e.inappropriate) choices for my garden, and I count it as the price of my education. Then again, I'm really pleased with some of the "bonus" plants chosen for me by the places I order from. Sort of steering me in the right direction, is the way I look at it, and I take heed.
When I get GOOD at this hosta growing, then I might try the whiter leaves. Until then, I can offer no help with their culture.
I had to chime in on this one as H. White Feathers has always been a controversial hosta. When its good it's great...when it's bad, it's really bad! I have had mine in the garden for over 8 years ( picture was taken May 18), I have never moved it ( have taken many divisions), it gets a fair bit of sun and some fertilizer. The leaves are to emerge pure white at the start of the season, then as said earlier they get a misted green. Your plant should emerge white, if it's green now I would return it. This is the one hosta in my garden that is 'high maintenance' out of the 800 I have but for me it is worth the show in the spring. I also agree that White Wall Tire is an excellent replacement, mine is still white.
I really appreciate all your help everyone!
First, I am sorry my post got posted twice. That was an accident and I was at work trying to get off the net.
Also, I thought I would show you a picture of what it is since pictures speak a thousand words.
I called them and they said this is what happens to white hosta when it is first planted. I am in doubt about this since those of you that own one say they first emerge as white.
Again, I will call them and try to figure this out. By now they are all sold out.
I suppose they will exchange it for a true one.
Again, I really appreciate this fine group of people:-)
I'll bet you these ones are a feast for SLUGS for those of us that won one.
Here is what is looks like
That is what I got as a white feather hosta from hirts gardens. When it started to open , I questioned them on it and they swore to mr it was a white. It is the only one they sent me. :(
I was so looking forward to the real thing said I recieved. They told md to wait until next spring and after should grow white. Not sure about that.
I spent 20 dollars for this baby.
You guys are a good support. I am calling them again and I will keep you all abreasted. :)
These are my White Feathers, took the picture today. They are small, sad little hostas, despite being planted at two or three years ago. They have never come up green.
The second picture is next to what I believe is fortunei Albopicta. The White Feathers are only about 6 X 8.
First, I must say you have posted some mighty fine looking plants everyone! Wow.
Now, I have an update.
I called them again and now they are telling me that the vendor got the tags mixed up and sent them the wrong plants in which they sent mine wrong too.
So they will refund me and dozens of others once I send a photo and resend the white one if they ever get them.
You were right.
You have all been very helpful and nice to get to know. Of it is ok, I would live to join in the group. It sounds fun. Who would of thought I would catch the Hosta fever. They never use to interest me until I saw the many colors you can get
Thanks so much everyone for the information on this post. I was thinking of buying white feather hosta and white astilbe to reflect light and brighten up a shady spot in my yard. Sort of to give the illusion of things glowing in the shade of these two trees. But given all that I have read here, I will be going for a hosta that is heavily variegated with white instead. Thanks again!
I'm really late chiming in to the White Feather Hosta question, but thought I'd throw in a pic of mine, which I really like only because it's so unusual at the beginning of the season. Yes it goes green as the spring ends and summer begins and yes slugs and rabbits might like it as much as I do, but what the heck - it gives me a few weeks of "AHHHH" so I'm rooting for it.
Hostanista, this is another shot-in-the-arm for the forum tonight! You have a beautiful plant there, delicate as spun sugar!.....
We all accept that hosta are beautiful but need their beauty rest in the winter. We accept that they show their beauty, in many growing zones, for much less than half a year. Yet we are faithful tending their growth and quick to applaud their beauty. This particular hosta, White Feather Boa, is a very special kind of hosta beauty, to be appreciated by the most patient and faithful of all hosta lovers. Because, this hosta needs the most beauty rest, the most careful of nurturing, and deigns to reveal her beauty for a matter of weeks only, if she so chooses.
I'd suggest an alternate name for this hosta, which might be recognized by the Brits coming here, more familiar with the implications of the title:
"She Who Must Be Obeyed" or SHE......as in Rider Haggards novel written in 1906 if I recall correctly. One of my favorite expressions, and hotly contested at my house. :)

I can't help but put things is perspective: I have grown many Hemerocalis over the years. They are mostly ugly green fronds burnt around the tips and their gorgeous blooms last only one day each.
Hostas are differnt. It is nice when their color stands out through the entire season. But if Hostanista's looks like that 3 weeks every spring I think I might try to find a place for it, that later would be dominated by others as they spread out for the season.
I have White Feather and do grow it in pots, that I sink in the ground to over winter. I think it is worth growing. This is a slow growing hosta, and definitely improves with age, as it fills in (another reason I grow it in pots).

I have seen many people say they wont mess with white feather. First thing is see what the plant looks like, ask the seller to send you a picture. I have been selling them on ebay and there is still white down here in zone 8, albeight the white babies are coming up. Give the hosta a chance, I have a stunning picture on the Hosta Librabry, make sure you also buy from reputable sellers, Hirts puts out a lot of plants each day, I can see where they may have sent another instead
Side Question about White Feather ...
is Hosta 'White Trouble' sometimes referred to as Hosta 'White Feather'? The two pictures from the Hosta Library seem nearly the same and White Trouble does not seem to be available any where thus making me think that this is (pun not intended) rooted in naming confusion.

John Clayton Honeysuckle
Just 6 to 10 feet high, this honeysuckle is ideal for smaller gardens.
These blooms are irresistible to butterflies, and simply blanket the vine, releasing a mild but unmistakable honeysuckle scent. They really stand out beautifully against the rounded 3-inch leaves of blue green, and after their huge display early in the season, they merrily repeat all summer and into fall! All of this from a carefree vine that reaches only 6 to 10 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, and may be kept even smaller if pruned after the first flush of flowers!
Evergreen in zones 8 and farther south and west, this native honeysuckle flowers best in full sun, though it will grow fine in partial shade. In late summer and early fall, while still tossing up occasional blooms, it sets thousands of small, round orange-red berries, attracting birds from all directions to long autumn and winter feasts! The berries are so handsome and profuse that they really do add another season of beauty to this vine. And if you are a birdwatcher or simply a nature lover, you shouldn't miss this splendid display.
An excellent choice for new landscapes, patio containers, or bare patches needing some vertical coverage, John Clayton takes off quickly and just keeps blooming! It can be planted in almost any garden soil and is hardy nearly everywhere in the contiguous U.S. Zones 4-9.

And it starts.....
It will be a bad year though as I lost somewhere between 40-50% of the crop due to a early bloom and one cold night. The commercial guys here have been picking for two weeks or so.
My first to ripen are Southern Belle. They lost 90% of their fruit but I only have 2 of them. The windsors though are turning purple also. Meanwhile a lot of the rabbiteye are just now blooming. The harvest is scattered over a long season from now until early June.
I don't grow it and don't give me any ideas:) This is a list of what I do have or at least close. I have not done a head count in awhile.
50 sweet Crisp
5 Gulf Coast
8 Windsor
2 southern Belle
4 millennium
14 Jewel
4 South Moon
33 Emerald
9 Sunshine Blue
1 scintilla
2 Windy (rabbiteye)
2 Beckyblue (rabbiteye)
2 Snowflake (rabbiteye)
Brightwell (rabbiteye)
Powder blue (rabbiteye)
2 Tiff blue (rabbiteye)
Austin (rabbiteye)
Well, you won't want to hear this, Bamboo, but O'Neal are superlative tasting. Better than anything else I have (until I can taste a real Sweetcrip, that is.) They are fantastic. And one of the highest-touted blueberries for us here in S. California. Sorry about your early crop. We all were afraid this was going to happen with our weird weather.
Patty S.
Such is life. I have no more room to add more unless I add another bed for them. As it is I have 6 beds allocated to the blueberries.
The lack of harvest is a bummer. I won't go wanting as there is a 25 acre field of Emeralds and Jewels 3 miles from me and I can go there and pick all I want to for free but it just isn't the same as picking your own berries.
If anyone wonders why free....when the Georgia berries come in to bearing the price drops and the Florida growers stop paying the migrants to pick as it becomes unprofitable. Some farms do a U pick but this farm down the road will just let them drop to the ground and rot. I just happen to be friends with someone who has a "in" lol.
Dang Bam, thats sucks to hear that man! At least you got the hook up though on some other fields. Its that picture of Windsor? I was looking at your Rabbiteye collection and was wondering how Powder Blue and Tift do for you? I have powder blue and so far its the latest to break buds for me here in Houston. Do you have any problems with those 2 varieties leafing out in the spring due to insufficent chilling? How many chill hours on average do you recieve?
Good eye, it is a Windsor.
The higher chill rabbits are mediocre at best. They are an effort to extend my season as long as possible. The plants grow ok here but they are very slow to leaf out and it takes it's toll. On average we get 300-400 chill hours. This year we are about 300. Those rabbits are just starting to flower now.

Deadmau5 has ripped into Madonna for her cringe-worthy intro to Avicii's set at Ultra Music Festival in Miami this week. Deadmau5 is not one to hold back and he took to Facebook to let his outrage be known.
In what seemed like a desperate attempt to connect with today's youth, Madonna said "Has anyone seen Molly" referencing to the drug MDMA.
From Deadmau5's Facebook page
Post 1
very classy there madonna. "HUR DUR HAS ANYONE SEEN MOLLY???" such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra. quite the f'n philanthropist. but hey, at least yer HIP AND TRENDY! fucking cant smack my head hard enough right now.
Post 2
yeah, i really kinda leeeeeeeeroy jenkins'd that shit huh… MDNA / Molly / MDMA / whatever .. something about a track? still seems the same to me, coz its still, in my opinion, unecciscary promotion of the shit that really held EDM down for years.
Post 3
seriously, i giveth not a fucking single FUCK for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy … i can appriciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendies? (sic) hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? fuck off you fucking IDIOT. fuck.

well if this doesnt start a fuckin flame war, not sure what will. lol.

Smoke Alarms Distributed In High-Risk TN Areas
By John Walker & The Associated Press
The state fire marshal's office says it has distributed more than 25,000 smoke alarms to homes in high-risk areas across Tennessee. Research and a risk assessment conducted by the office in 2011 showed that smoke alarms were present in only 28% of the residential fatal fires in Tennessee.
The data showed that the state has 78 highest risk communities out of the more than 1,200 census areas. Fire officials are targeting those areas, as well as homes across the state where smoke alarms are not being used. Officials noted that newly installed smoke alarms helped save the lives of 19 people in a multi-family residence in Memphis last month. Ultimately, officials hope to install 90,000 smoke alarms in households across Tennessee.

Dishwasher under $1000?
Any recommendations? Appliance store has an ASKO d5122xxls for $800. What do you all think? I'm open to suggestions...
I purchased a Samsung 800 series. It's quiet and it cleans the dishes. The dishes are dry and the plastic usually has some water. But the plastic is still drier than my old KA supurba with the element dryer. If you turned off the element drier in order to put plastic on the bottom, it had a tendency to leave a lot of stuff wet. The water on my plastic containers is caused by the lips on where the top connects to the bottom. So I don't blame this on the inability of the dishwasher. Last week I had a dinner party and ran the dishwasher while we were in the dining room. Never would have done that with the KA, even when it was new.
I mostly use the smart function. I do use the jet dry and have went back and forth with the little packs and the cascade powder that you measure. Both ways are achieving clean dishes. I've used the delicate function for my fine china. Also have tried the delay function and the storm wash function. This one also has the ability to take out the top rack and wash something tall.
The reviews state problems with the bottom rack being hard to keep on track. I only notice this issue if there is nothing on the rack. However, there is usually always dishes etc on the rack. But I noticed the same problem with a Bosch I was looking at. The biggest thing I noticed with all the dishwashers that the prongs are longer on the new dishwashers than what was on my old one. This makes for a different experience when you load. Before things seemed to flop around more.
The clean light goes off in about 10 minutes. It does chime when it's done. So you can't visually look to see if it has clean dishes, but it does chime (again) the first time you open it when the dishes are clean. So there is a way to know that they are clean before you aimlessly start throwing dirty dishes in with the clean.
My old KA vented out the front up by the top. This one vents out the bottom as it has hidden controls and so has a plain front. There was reviews stating that the venting was causing problems with steaming the hardwood floors. I mentioned this to the installer. The installer stated he never had that problem. But he also stated if they weren't level that might be causing people problems. I have hardwood floors and have not had any issues with steam on the floor or any other problems.
I'm very happy with it. The installer was top notch. And I actually got a great sale price, with free delivery, installation, and haul away of the old one.
We just installed a Frigidare professional last week and so far are quite happy with it. It is quiet, has tines that fold, top shelf moves up and down and has three washer arms. A big improvement from our 18 yr old one that sounded like a train moving through the house. So far cleans well. Have to be careful with high things on the bottom shelf not blocking the middle arm, but other than that, we like it
No direct experience, but my husband has an Asko at his office, (don't know the model.) Seems like everyone hates it, though maybe this one is a lemon. Everyt ime you open the bottom tray, it jumps off the tracks, for one thing. I don't know, I just know we won't be getting an Asko after this!
We have 2 of the KA KUDC10FXSS model and love them. I was worried that they would be loud (we have an open floor plan) but you can barely hear them running at all. At least 1 person on the forum experienced problems with the side vent on this DW, but we haven't had any. I do leave the adjacent cabinet door open just in case, though. I just put one of the DWs to the ultimate test--a bowl with dried on cream of wheat and a lasagna dish that DS1 decided to keep the leftovers in (instead of putting them in a tupperware) for 3 days. Those two items went in with a full load of plates, glasses, bowls & silverware. I ran it on the short 1 hr cycle with a Finish Powerball Pack (not the tabs) & everything came out sparkling clean! Cost on sale at Lowe's for Labor Day 2011 was $627 each. Memorial Day is coming up--maybe they will run a similar sale.
Hope this helps!
We just replaced a KA that turned lemon in the past few years and almost caught on fire (!!) with a ADA-compliant Bosch with a built-in water softener. I was initially worried about the ADA size after the tall-tub KA but remarkably, everything fits great. It took a little while to figure out the best loading patterns but I'm really pleased with the capacity. And the on-board water softener is a real revelation - we have rock-hard water here and after phosphates were phased out we had significant issues with scale buildup on glasses, silverware, etc. to the point that we had to add Lemi-Shine to every single load just to keep it partially in check. With the Bosch, once I added a box of Somat salt (and Somat rinse aid), I haven't had to add a single "supplement" since the day we bought it and everything comes out amazingly clean and shiny. My wife even noticed that our glasses felt "smooth" and looked like new again, and she was thinking we'd need to get new ones because they were getting roughed up from wear-and-tear. Turns out it was just just hard water build-up!
Link is below. FYI - it was -$120 when I got it so it must have gone OFF sale recently, which means it should go back ON eventually...

Fernandez Lobbe hails Pumas' victory
ESPN Staff
November 10, 2012
Manuel Carizza helped Argetina to beat Wales in Cardiff for the first time in 11 years © PA Photos
Argentina's Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe hailed his teams' performance as they defeated Six Nations champions Wales 26-12 at the Millennium Stadium.
Fernandez Lobbe was named as man-of-the-match but credited his team-mates for laying the foundation for his award with another passionate and skillful performance.
"This is a great win for us. We have been searching for this win for a long time as a group," he said. "The most important thing for us was to try to get that first win. We are happy to do it against such a good team."
Wales led 9-6 at the break thanks to three Leigh Halfpenny penalties, with Felipe Contepomi slotting a penalty and Nicolas Sanchez landing a drop goal for the Pumas.
Halfpenny extended Wales' lead with a fourth penalty early in the second half, but a penalty and drop goal from Sanchez, plus converted tries for wings Juan Imhoff and Gonzalo Camacho saw the visitors secure their second win over Wales in Cardiff, 11 years to the day after their first.
Wales interim head coach Rob Howley meanwhile admitted his side had been made to look lethargic by a battle-hardened Argentina after the Pumas claimed a stunning 26-12 win at the Millennium Stadium.
The defeat puts a major dent in Wales' hopes of securing a top-four place in the world rankings ahead of next month's 2015 World Cup draw, but they can have no qualms after being exposed by Argentina. And there looks set to be further bad news for Howley with Jamie Roberts and Alun Wyn Jones picking up injuries that put their involvement in the rest of the autumn series in doubt.
"I am disappointed, frustrated and annoyed because we know we are a better side than that," Howley said. "We talked about it being an arm wrestle for 50 minutes and we were 12-6 ahead but we looked one-paced. When you play Argentina, tempo, pace and intensity are important but there is no doubt their experience and exposure to the Rugby Championship has taken that Argentina side to another level. They played the All Blacks, South Africa and Australia over a six-week period and they have certainly learned from that and we were exposed to it today and we very much came second."
Wales' medical team will have their hand full in an attempt to ensure that Roberts and Jones are fit for their next Test against Samoa on Friday. "Jamie has a bump on the head, it's a mild concussion to say the least," Howley said. "Alun Wyn has done his AC (joint) so we will have to wait on the medical opinion for that but it does not look good at this time and it will test our strength in depth and these next three games are very important."
Argentina coach Santiago Phelan agreed with Howley's view that his side's experience in the Rugby Championship played a big part in their victory, which tees them up perfectly for their remaining tour fixtures against France and Ireland.
He said: "We are very happy with our performance today. The team took the initiative in the first 20 minutes and played very well in the second half, moving the ball and keeping possession. The intensity of the game was very high, but the Argentinian players have had a good experience playing in the Rugby Championship and have learned to play at this intensity. Today was a good step forward for our team in terms of intensity and tempo and scoring points, which was one of our major goals for this game."

Two new African Lion Cubs, born at Longleat Safari & Adventure Park on 10th September, have been named "Simba" and "Nala" after the much loved characters in Disney's The Lion King. Disney will help these loveable siblings into the "Circle of Life" by helping to feed them over their first year as they grow into full-grown healthy lions.
Simba and Nala are two of four cubs born at Longleat last month to first-time mum Malaika (meaning 'Angel' in Swahili) who was also born at Longleat back in 2005. The other two cubs have been named "Enzi" which means 'Powerful' in Swahili, and "Nyota" which means 'Star'.

Fiber Optic light or ??
FollgerDecember 15, 2012
We are remodeling our kitchen and we are adding an island with a floating top. The island top will be elevated from the cabinet height top to a 42" bar top. The feet for the island are acrylic tubes that are 2" in diameter and 4.5" tall. Since they are clear acrylic, we are thinking that it would be great to light them.
We don't have any experience with Fiber optic lighting, but it seems like it would work. We have power in the cabinets that support the island and quite a bit of space at the back of the drawers. Would fiber optic work. Is there another low voltage option. The tubes are sealed on both ends.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
