Hot answers tagged arcmap
that's nearly it, but the referencing of the field should be done on the field list, not the field name fieldList = arcpy.ListFields(r"C:\your.shp") for field in fieldList[19:]: print field.name
Instead of import sys.arcpy, try import arcpy
I would suggest creating a new field and then using 'select by attributes'. Do this for each of your three categories and populate your new field with some common value (ie. 1, 2, or 3). You could then base your symbology on this new field and properly show your three different symbols. Bit of a work around but that is how I would approach this problem.
Parcel Fabrics add a lot of overhead to manage. I would say it is worth it IF: 1) you need to manage the legal descriptions of the properties 2) you need the accuracy to be survey grade (which it appears you don't) 3) you need to manage parcel changes over time (subdivisions, boundary line adjustments, etc.) From a county government perspective, it is ...

Wine 1.7.4 Continues With The D3D Command Stream
Published on 11 October 2013 02:05 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
20 Comments
Wine 1.7.4 has been released as the latest bi-weekly development release of the open-source program to run Windows applications/games on Linux and other operating systems. This latest release continues focusing work on the Direct3D command stream changes.
Published in early September was work on
Wine Direct3D performance improvements
that could yield 50~100% performance improvements for Direct3D improvements. This work by Stefan Dösinger offloads work onto a separate command stream / worker thread for WineD3D. These Wine Direct3D improvements are really to benefit CPU-limited games right now running in Wine.
Some prep work on the Direct3D command stream support was
pushed into Wine 1.7.3
and now additional changes have landed for Wine 1.7.4. Hopefully in the releases ahead we will see the actual WineD3D command stream changes land and begin boosting the performance for many Windows games on Linux.
Other changes for Wine 1.7.4 include support for the Cocoa-style full-screen mode with the Apple Mac driver, Winsock improvements, and various bug-fixes.
More details on the Wine 1.7.4 changes can be found via

Multivitamin Anyone?
I know that this is a herbalism forum but I'll bet someone here will know the answer to my question about multivitamins. I take one every day. I think that the supplement facts on the back of the bottle are pretty much standard. Couldn't help but notice while most of the listings are 100% DV, phosphorus was only 11% and potassium was only 2%, why is that? Also, what kinds of foods, or herbal supplements are rich in phosphorus & potassium?
It's extremely hard to be phosphorus or potassium deficient ... the stuff is everywhere.
Potassium: potatoes and Morton's "Lite Salt"
Phosphorus: dunno, I've never heard of anyone except a kidney dialysis patient having problems with it. Bones and red meat, probably.
If you eat a varied diet, heavy on the fresh (or frozen) fruit and veggies light on the junk food and sweets, it's hard to be deficient in anything.

Small businesses like mine need health care reform so we can do our part to create jobs and get the economy back on track. We need Congress to stand up for small businesses and get health reform passed this year.
Maude Varela
New Orleans
"Health reform helps business"
The News Star
November 17, 2009
As a small-business owner, I have struggled in vain for more than 22 years to find a way to provide health insurance for my employees.
Health insurance providers tell me I have too few employees to make a group. Or they tell me that some of my employees have pre-existing conditions that exclude them from a group and that would make the group too small.
The kind of highly educated, experienced people I prefer to hire nearly always have pre-existing conditions. Who doesn't have a pre-existing condition by age 30?
Because my business can't provide good health benefits effectively, I am restricted to hiring people who are covered by their spouse's medical insurance.
I hope and pray our representatives and senators soon pass federal legislation to help the really small businesses of America.

From the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" to gay marriage coming to New York, 2011 was an incredible year for the LGBT community.
In honor of the year that was, we asked some of our favorite LGBT celebs and allies to tell us their favorite moments of the year.
Have a look and then tell us your own favorite moments of 2011 in the comments section below.
For more on the best of 2011, visit AOL's Best of 2011.
1. Song of the Year: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" (I'm gaga for Gaga) 2. Films of the Year: "Shame" (Michael Fassbender for best actor -- talk about range!) "The Help" (Extremely moving ensemble -- acting at its best) 3. Television Shows of the Year: "Modern Family" (Still the best comedy on the box) "True Blood" (still sexy as hell) For more from Bruno, visit his official page on ABC.com's site.
1. My trip to Australia in November because I haven't been back in two years. It was great to see family and friends. 2. My book tour across the US was overwhelming because of all the support and kindness everyone showed me. 3. The Alexander McQueen exhibition in NYC -- truly breathtaking, motivating and genius. For more on "Tabatha Takes Over" -- which premieres on January 10th on Bravo -- head to the show's official website.
1. Coming out on live television. I was scared to death, but it was the best thing I've ever done. It liberated me from even my own draconian thinking that being gay was something I shouldn't be open about. Like many other gay and straight people, I had rationalized that notion for years. So once I realized that at the base of "keeping it private" was shame, I decided to be transparent. I'm not ashamed of being gay. So, why would I, or anyone, want to keep it private. Almost everyday my mom tells me how much she loved my dad. Is she flaunting her "straightness" by doing that? Not at all. She's just sharing a part of who she is as a human being. You get the point. I wish more high profile people would come out. 2. Having the opportunity to see "The Normal Heart" on Broadway and meeting Larry Kramer. I cried through the whole play. I came of age in the 1980's. I moved to New York City in the early 90's. I lived through that fear. And while I was lucky enough to survive that era, many weren't. The play not only renewed but reinforced my belief that much of life is about having the courage to take a stand. And although they seemed radical at the time, imagine if people like Larry Kramer and Dr. King hadn't stood up to the establishment? Not an enticing thought, is it? 3. A couple of TV moments. One was the surprise segment "The Daily Show" did called, "CNN Anchor Don Lemon Appears Not to Care for CNN." It turned out to be an extremely flattering piece on me. Thank you, Jon! Another moment was having the opportunity to work with Stephen Colbert on a segment he did with me on vampires. I learned more from Stephen in one afternoon than I learned from years in the news business. Stephen is a genius. I'm forever grateful. And the last but certainly not the least of my favorite TV moments was having the privilege to fill in for Joy Behar on "The Joy Behar Show." Joy's rockin' producers allowed me to take risks and make history with some of our segments. Google it. Thank you Joy! Not only are you funny but you are extremely generous. We'll miss your presence in primetime. For more from Don, follow him on Twitter.
1. The End of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell": A landmark step in our quest for equal rights and a benefit to our armed forces and national security. 2. The Protest Movement in Wisconsin: A powerful, on-going, grassroots movement in support of Midwestern values, workers' rights, and democratic principles in the face of radical, right-wing state governance. 3. The Green Bay Packers' Super Bowl Victory: In a state so often divided, the Packers bring us together. For more from Tammy Baldwin, visit her official website.
1. Without a doubt, the launch of my art collection with Penny Lane Publishing and the launch of my bedding and bath collection with 1888 Mills. Both have been dreams come true and definitely two of the most fabulous highlights of my year! 2. I just finished my very first art exhibit with my team, in celebration of Art Basel at The Z Ocean Hotel in South Beach, Miami. The theme was "Body, Money & Death," the three things people worry about most in life. I have always dreamed of having an exhibit, and this three day event was a huge success for me both personally and professionally. A huge amount of work and preparation went into this event and it was all worth it. I am so proud! 3. I have to admit, I had never seen a Broadway show until this year. My assistant got us all tickets for "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" while we were filming in NYC this year. Can I just tell you -- fabulosity at its best! I fell in love with the show! I laughed so hard I almost puked! Love, Love, Love! 4. This year I went on a gorgeous vacation with my partner, Jeff, and all of our friends. We started in Paris for two days, then went to Barcelona for one night and then took a cruise around the Mediterranean. After the cruise, Jeff and I ended the vacation in Sitges for 3 days. Fabulous! I adore my friends. We do one big trip together every year. 5. So proud of New York this year -- legalizing marriage for gay and lesbian couples was a remarkable moment. Everyone should have the right to love someone and legally be recognized in this country with the same rights as every heterosexual couple. It really irritates me when I hear that legalizing gay marriage destroys family values and the sanctity of marriage. Really? Really? Is getting married on a Tuesday in Vegas and divorcing the following week sanctified? Or how about throwing a multimillion dollar wedding for the world to see with all the diamonds and satin to go with it, only to end bitterly months later. Perhaps this is America's version of a sanctified marriage? I think not. Wake up people and re-define your version of values! The beautiful state of New York has set an example for the rest of this great nation. We should all have the right to marry the one we love and be recognized: gay, straight, black or white. Love is not something that is to be voted upon, it's our right as humans! For more on David, visit his official website and the website for "Color Splash."
1. Marriage Equality comes to New York I was never prouder to be a life long New Yorker then I was that day. New York reclaimed its spot as a leader in the advancement of equality. 2. Being a part of the "Woman Who Rock" exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum To be included in this special exhibit of amazing women who help craft the world of rock and roll means so much. Plus, I got to perform with the incomparable Mavis Staples at the event to unveil the exhibit -- it does not get better than that. 3. "Home for the Holidays" concert at New York's Beacon Theatre On Dec. 4 we held our first big event for the True Colors Fund, which I co-founded in 2008 in part to help homeless gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender homeless youth. It was an inspiring and sold out night of music and comedy -- with many friends joining me on stage like Norah Jones, Lou Reed, Linda Perry, Wanda Sykes, Carson Kressley, Chely Wright, Alan Cumming, Cassandra Wilson and so many more -- to help these kids out. For more from Cyndi, visit her official website here.
This has obviously been a whirlwind year for me filled with some crazy and cherished moments, and to pick three isn't the easiest feat... but here goes: 1. Performing my LaQuifa stand up comedy routine as the opening act for the original Queen of Comedy, Mo'Nique, at Milwaukee PrideFest in June. 2. Being invited by Nicki Minaj to perform as Nicki Minaj at the debut event for her and Britney Spears's "Til the World Ends" remix in Los Angeles. She's a huge fan of "Drag Race"! 3. Being named as one of "America's 100 Most Compelling People of 2011" by Out Magazine. This honor not only recognized my journey from "Rupaul's Drag Race" to network television, but also represented to my fans that no matter how much you're looked down upon, never giving up does pay off. Can I get a Halleloo! For more from Shangela, visit Shangela.com
1. Moving into my new home in NYC 2. Being an executive producer on "The Help" 3. By the time this is published, I will be planning a fantastic getaway with family for the holidays. For more from Nate, visit his official website.
1. The Harvest Festival: I was lucky to go on a 10-day tour of Australia with The Harvest Festival this past November, alongside TV On The Radio, The National, The Flaming Lips, Bright Eyes, Portishead, Emily Autumn and more! Performing at music festivals are my favorite performances because festival goers are usually musical connoisseurs who pride themselves on knowing who is doing what in the music world. The Harvest Festival was filled with these kids who were dying for good music, as well as the musicians who were giving it to them in heapfuls. I got to take a step back and realize that I am finally being seen and respected for being a musician first and the label of transgender isn't seeming to matter much to those who love music as much as I do. Definitely the highlight of my year. 2. Legal Federal Gender Change: Last year, the White House announced a new policy regarding gender change on passports for transfolk. It used to be that the government only recognized persons who went through sexual reassignment surgery (SRS) as "fully" transitioned. But it seems like lawmakers are on the up-and-up and are acknowledging that what's between our legs doesn't determine our gender. Transgender people can now have our genders changed on our passports without SRS, therefore able to be legally internationally recognized as the sex of our choice, no matter if we decide SRS is right for us or not. It was one of the proudest days of my life when my doctor handed me a letter declaring under oath that my transition is now COMPLETE. Now, off to get that new passport! 3. "The Book Of Mormon": AIDS, Africa, Jesus and the creators of "South Park." The best thing I've ever seen on stage. For more from Our Lady J, visit her official website.
O'Donnell, who intruduced and led the bill that made marriage legal in New York State for gays and lesbians, offers his favorite moments from 2011: 1. The moment the Secretary of the State Senate called the Marriage Equality Act "by Member of the Assembly O'Donnell" to the floor for consideration, shortly before it was finally passed by the Senate and signed into law. 2. Marching in the NYC Pride Parade the Sunday after Marriage Equality became law and hearing people cheering my name while we danced our way down 5th Avenue. There was a euphoria running through the crowd I'll never forget. 3. When my partner of 31 years, John Banta, and I decided that January 29th, 2012, would be our wedding day. For more from Daniel O'Donnell, visit his official website.
1. Taking a holiday this summer at my dear friend's heavenly estate in the Hamptons, luxe apartment in Paris and idyllic chateau in Chantilly. Making this statement is just as much fun as the trip because I just LOVE how absolutely pompous and ridiculous it sounds! 2. Getting slapped across the face by Joan Rivers on "Fashion Police." You haven't lived until you've been clocked by an icon. 3. The birth of my niece Ava. She is "Gerber baby" cute. No, seriously she is. I would totally say it if she wasn't. For more from George, visit the official website for "Fashion Police."
1). Don't Ask Don't Tell being repealed. I love that the people that caused a fuss were largely politicians and Fox News. As for the average man or woman on the street, it was a non-issue. Progress!!! 2) The Alexander McQueen exhibit. True talent never dies. 3) Venice, Italy with Alessandro. Enough said. For more from Rose, follow her on Twitter.
1. My 10 year anniversary: Celebrating 10 years with my boyfriend Gary, the same year Gay Marriage was passed in New York. Such an incredible feeling. 2. My first year styling on my own and being lucky enough to work with such amazing women. I also feel lucky to work with such great magazines and artistic people. 3. Concert of the year: Getting to see Adele perform on my birthday. I can't think of a better way to ring in my 34th year. Find out more about "It's A Brad, Brad World" -- which premieres January 2nd on Bravo -- by visiting the show's official website.
In 2011 I had many favorite, and not-so-favorite, moments. Here are three favorites from the face-to-face conversation category: 1. The two-pronged wedding hounding by our NY neighbors. First the six-year old, "So are you getting married?" Me: "Not so much." Then the follow-up from her four year-old slightly whining brother, "But why?" Once they were pestering us in the elevator, and the elevator guy chimed in, "I hear wedding bells." I told him it was the lobby call bell. 2. We were consoling my niece on a recent breakup from a guy we all loved. We were like keening for-hire funeral aunties. She interrupted, "But I am dating someone." I said, "Who is the lucky guy?" She said, "I think you'll like her." We give large cash prizes when someone comes out in our families. I worry that one relentlessly straight, under-employed nephew might come out for the cash. 3. After a large Indian meal, I was being extensively grilled about transsexuals by my galpal's eighty-four year-old father. He genuinely wanted to understand. It was surreal. As I answered, I flashed back almost wistfully to when our families shunned us. For more from Kate, visit her official website.
1. My mom surviving breast cancer! 2. Getting my first Emmy nomination 3. Forming a dance company, "Shaping Sound," with my best friends For more from Travis, visit his official website.
1. Playing #Occupy Over the course of the fall, my ukulele and I played at seven different #Occupy sites on both coasts. I learned a shitload about my generation and got a beautiful and first-hand picture of what was actually being created in each city. 2. Getting naked at Boston's Museum Of Fine Arts I did the voice narration for the MFA's "Degas and the Nude" multi-media guide. When they invited me and [husband] Neil [Gaiman] on a private tour of the exhibit, I stripped and modeled nude for Neil while he sketched in pastel... amongst some of the most priceless Degas drawings on the planet. Definitely an unforgettable moment. 3. Borrowing Other People's Children At the start of the year, Neil Gaiman and I eloped in writers Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman's living room, and borrowed their kids for flower children. Soon after, my two best friends in New York, the philospher Joshua Knobe and the writer/musician Alina Simone, gave birth to little baby Zoe. Since this kid may be the closest thing I'll ever have to a child of my own, I've been taking extreme pleasure in watching her do things like puke, drool and grow teeth. For more from Amanda, visit her official website.
1. Marriage equality passing in New York 2. "Watch What Happens Live" getting picked up as a five-night a week show 3. The Cardinals winning the world series For more from Andy, visit his official blog.
1. It Gets Butter Upset by American comedians mocking Norway's butter shortage, this young man has made a demented youtube video chastising the USA for it's insensitivity. I can't tell if his outrage serious or not, so he's Norway's own Chris Crocker. And from Asia, this hilarious re-enactment video shows animated Norwegian grannies, desperate to make their traditional Christmas Krumkakes, lashing out at each other with walkers and canes over the last tub of butter on a supermarket shelf. I guess I'm insensitive because I find this whole thing hysterical! 2. Occupy Wall Street We're finally waking up to the fact that neither political party represents the vast majority of us. Sure, the Democrats are far more concerned than Republicans about the poor, minorities, veterans, women's rights, the elderly and gays. But the nation watched in horror as Democrats offered up Social Security and Medicaid as a bargaining tool in the debt ceiling "crisis" -- when they didn't need to offer anything because the debt ceiling was going to be raised anyway. Too bad we woke up so late that our government is now inching its way towards detaining its enemies indefinitely without trials thanks to the NDAA! Will these "enemies" of the state soon include protesters? 3. Cenk Ugyur Back On TV Cenk of The Young Turks quit "liberal" MSNBC when his boss demanded that he go easier on Obama. His new show on Current TV (also the new home of Keith Olbermann) is mandatory watching. Whenever I watch MSNBC, all the anchors do is bash the GOP candidates. Well, of course they deserve bashing and it is campaign season. But why aren't they letting Obama have it when he deserves it -- as he frequently does? Cenk made a fascinating point recently about how Obama had failed as a liberal or even as a democrat --except on gay issues. The reason? According to Cenk, repealing DADT was the one progressive move Obama could make without angering the banks and other big corporations which own him and the rest of our government. 4.The Kim Kardashian Backlash I'm really glad that Kim's marriage made people realize what a sham the whole Kardashian empire was. She's sexy -- I'll give her that. And she burst onto the scene with a sex tape. So porn would be a natural choice for a hot slut. I'm glad that we realized that what she and her sisters are selling -- all with voices like nails on chalkboard -- has nothing to do with entertainment. Perhaps quality entertainment might be making a comeback? That might be too optimistic, but this backlash is a step in the right direction. And if no-talent hoochies remain en vogue, I'm currently seeking work. Oh, wait! The hoochies have to be young and attractive. 5. William and Kate's Wedding I could've cared less about the royal nuptials, but the event brought back plenty of CNN contributor Richard Quest. While I find Quest's style bombastic style extremely annoying, it's a testament to CNN's forgiving nature that they still use Quest after one of the most hilarious scandals of all time. Apprehended by police in Central Park, Quest offered the information "I've got some meth in my pocket" and on further examination he was found to have a rope knotted round his neck and testicles and a dildo in his boot. So while the fairy tale romance of a prince and princess did nothing for me, this fairy's tale/tail made me giggle every time I saw him on the news! For more from Lady Bunny, visit LadyBunny.net
1. Miami Pride. I was shooting the show during New York Pride so I hopped down to Miami for a little fun in the sun...

Is the Sears 5 year fridge warranty worth the $550?
Hi there,
We recently decided to buy the Whirlpool 28 cf french door fridge with an additional pull-out drawer on the outside of the fridge plus ice and water dispenser. The fridge is normally $3000, but Sears had it on sale for July 4th for $2199. Unfortunately, we just missed that sale! (It is now $2425 online and $2699 in store.) Today a sales associate at Sears (from whom we have purchased appliances in the past) offered to honor the $2199 July 4th sale price...but only if we buy a five year warranty for an extra $550!
We are trying to decide if this extra warranty is worth that much money. In the past we have bought the warranty and never used it. However, this fridge is a french door with ice and water on the outside, and I am not sure if that is more likely to break. The fridge comes with a one year warranty, and we will get an additional year of warranty by purchasing with AmEx. That said, by getting the July 4th discounted price, that would sort of buy us 50% of the five year warranty compared to the current fridge price. Then again, maybe there will be a good sale again between now and when we need to purchase by early September?
I welcome input on the Sears protection plan. Is it worth it? How likely is it that we will need it?
Thanks so much!
Is this the dual evaporator model? If so avoid. See link for a discussion by appliance techs. It ain't pretty. More complicated fridges tend to have more issues but when someone reports that EVERY single one they've sold has failed, I sit up and take notice.
Here is a link that might be useful: Whrilpool French Door WRF989SDAF Dual Evaportors
hvtech42, it is actually a slightly different french door version with an extra exterior drawer. Do you think this one will have that same issue?
I thought we had made a decent choice, but now I am worried! We need to decide by first thing in the AM since our kitchen cabinets are going to go into production!
Many thanks,
No clue whether that will have the same problems, or whether you'll need the warranty. I was really just trying to make sure you weren't buying that particular model they were complaining about. Whirlpool has had a good reputation for fridges in the past. Normally I think extended warranties are a waste of money but it could be worth it in your situation because of the discount and the fact that it is a pretty complicated fridge. Be sure to let us know how it works out for you once you buy.
How long does Sears price match on appliances? If you really don't want the extended warranty and want to buy it now, if their price match period is long enough, you might just want to pay the current $2400+ price, then roll the dice that it'll go back on a better sale.
My last fridge was a Samsung I bought at Best Buy. It was a very common Samsung and Lowe's kept putting it on sale. I think the price match period was 90 days. Maybe it was only 30. But I went back twice and they handed me money back. Can't beat that!
This is one of the poorest warranties I've seen on any Fridge!!!!
"For one year from the date of purchase, when this major appliance is operated and maintained according to instructions attached to or
furnished with the product, Whirlpool Corporation or Whirlpool Canada LP (hereafter âÂÂWhirlpoolâÂÂ) will pay for Factory Specified Parts
and repair labor to correct defects in materials or workmanship that existed when this major appliance was purchased. Service must be
provided by a Whirlpool designated service company. YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS LIMITED WARRANTY
SHALL BE PRODUCT REPAIR AS PROVIDED HEREIN. This limited warranty is valid only in the United States or Canada and applies
only when the major appliance is used in the country in which it was purchased. Proof of original purchase date is required to obtain
service under this limited warranty.
First note, no extended warranty on the "Sealed System"
(Compressor, Condensor, Evaporators valves~~etc.
2nd Note that it says:
SHALL BE PRODUCT REPAIR AS PROVIDED HEREIN. This limited warranty is valid only in the United States or Canada and applies"
So if they can't fix it, You are "Stuck" (no offer of a replacement).
That's enough to "Scare Me Off"!!!!!!
TJMWine, I would love more info on how the HD warranty differs from the Sears one. It would be nice to have a warranty for around the $150 price; do you know what that covers? This would definitely be an incentive to buy from HD vs. Sears.
cal_quail, that is a good suggestion! One thing that is scaring me about Sears is that I can't get a "middle ground" extended warranty. It is $550 or nothing.
Gary, thank you for taking the time to look at the warranty that comes with the fridge! I think I assumed all of the initial one year warranties were similar. It sounds as if this one is really bad. Would a company like HD or Sears be able to offer protection beyond that manufacturer's warranty if we bought a plan? Also, do you think LG or Samsung offer something better? LG in particular has a similar style fridge that we could consider, but I thought their service was iffy too. Am I wrong on that?
Wow, this appliance purchase process has been more stressful than anticipated! Whew.
I can't thank you Gardenweb posters enough! :-)
Ouch yeah, that is a bad warranty. My GE french door which cost about the same has 1 year full warranty, 5 years on the sealed system.
The thing is, even the ones with extended sealed system warranties are often parts only, not labor. Sealed system repairs are often labor intensive and take a long time, and most people do not have the tools or skills to DIY them. That compressor replacement will still be extremely expensive unless you have an extended warranty, even though the manufacturer is paying for the compressor itself.

hvtech42, you seem so knowledgeable. Do you have any advice. Our goal is to have a very large capacity fridge for our family of five: 28+ cf. In the past, we returned a french door fridge since our freezer was disorganized, and the kids were opening the upper doors too often. However, it is also very hard to keep a deep side-by-side organized. We loved this Whirlpool model since it has an exterior fridge drawer for high-use kid stuff plus THREE pull-out shelves on the bottom for organizing the freezer. I think the only other brand that offers the three pull-outs in the freezer is LG. The GE and Samsung pull-out freezers have just two drawers (although Samsung does offer versions with the pull-out extra fridge drawer.) The Whirlpool fridge has everything we want, but I don't want to buy into a horrible warranty or fridge. Would you buy the Whirlpool and get a particular type of warranty with it? Or would you consider one of those other brands? If the other brands, which ones? Finally, which "big box" store would you try for a reasonably priced extended warranty? We were thinking of Yale, but the service there has been pretty awful. The salesmen just never get back to us via phone or email, and it is a very long drive to get out to Dorchester.
Many thanks in advance for any opinions! :-)
What I would do, Sara, Assuming you "must have" that Whirlpool fridge, is to "Check Out" local service companies in you area. Find the name of a "Prospective" Appliance Service Repair Company in your area. Then google the name of the company along with the word "reviews".
If you find some that check out to your satisfaction, then "Ring them up" and see if they will offer to sell you an after market warranty on that fridge.
A "Plus" for the fridge is the parts should be easy to get and "relatively" inexpensive compared to some of the fancier fridge makers in here, (Miele, SZ & Liebherr) for example.
When I was having trouble with my Jenn-air fridge, I looked on the net, and I could find parts galore and most at pretty decent prices. But more important than that was the Service company. I called Jenn-Air, they gave me the names of 3 companies, 2 of the 3 had Horrific reviews!
#3 had great reviews, and I called them. They diagnosed and fixed it "Straightaway" and for a really great price.
I'm so happy with them, that "IF" in the future I need to replace any appliance, I will be sure that it is one that service company will service!!!
As mentioned, it's not the parts that will destroy your wallet but the labor to put them in~~~~so a good, honest and reputable service company should be your "FIRST ORDER of business!!
"To me", at least, I've read far too many post about the time required and the difficulty of getting parts for both the Samsung and LG fridges, that "I, Myself", would shy away from them.
One other thing about the fridge you are looking at, most of the complaints center around its ice making ability (or lack there of) as well as it making ice where it should not~~~~so something to consider too!
My advice would be to stick with your original plan and get the Whirlpool with the extended warranty, especially since you get the discount.
I really like my GE french door, no problems yet in the couple years I've owned it. But IMO they don't have good double drawer offerings, and I doubt you'll be able to find one for as good of a price as you're getting on the Whirlpool.
Thank you to both hvtech42 and Gary! Gary, it sounds as if you are suggesting finding a good appliance repair shop that offers a five year warranty after-market. Interesting idea! hvtech42, would you go with that five year Sears plan for $550 because it offers more comprehensive service than a place like HD or Lowe's? The price on that is SO high, but maybe it is worth it. And you are right about the low sale price helping to cover that big warranty price tag.
I feel relieved to think that I can still get the Whirlpool fridge, and I guess I now just need to figure out a way to balance costs with getting proper warranty coverage. At least I am narrowing down the issues! ;-)
Thanks once again!
I do not "think" that hvtech42 was here when all the negative posts were here in GW about "A&E Service,(Sears).
See the helpful link at the bottom of my post to see some of these reviews.
I did goggle "New England Appliance Service" and I did find a number of "Good Possibilities" and even one store that does both Sales and Service with very good reviews~~~~perhaps you could see if they would price match "Sears".
Anyway, try the search and for even more companies just add the word company into the search string.
Here is a link that might be useful: A & E Service Reviews
You know, another option is to save the $550 and use it for a repair if necessary. The sealed systems usually do not break in the first 5 years which is why most manufacturers warrant them that long. I just had the first repair on my 12 year old KA and it was for a relay and cost around $200. I definitely wouldn't buy a Sears warranty if they plan to use A&E. I have a local repair shop that I use (infrequently) for appliance repairs. They usually show up within a day or two of when you call them.
But Sears will not give her the discounted price if she turns down the extended warranty. So she would not be saving $550.
By no means was I saying that Sears has the best service, but I assumed she needed to make a decision fast and didn't have time to shop around.
If you can find it for a great price without extended warranty that's what I would do.
Is there another Sears within a reasonable distance and could you see if they'd price match without the extortion must-buy warranty?
note: I'm not always against extended warranties, in fact I think I'm going to get them on everything in my new kitchen. But that extended warranty is more expensive than I was quoted for an extended warranty on a SZ.
NewEnglandSara Home Depot HDPP works this way for $150 you are buying 4 extra years (plan starts after 1st year) BUT the plan has a food spoilage allowance for up to $300 each occurrence and cover power surges from day one, manufacturer warranties do not have these features. Does not cover cosmetics and consumables but with the 4 year you can get 25 % rebate on water filters.
I would find their boss and see if you can get that warranty for less.
Personally, I do not do any business with sears and would only take a kenmore product if given to me free. At least this is Whirlpool.
I would specially make sure it says that it will cover the water and ice maker in the warranty
We bought a Kenmore dd refrigerator from our local Sears store and the sales lady talked us into the extended warrantee. We never had a problem until the warrantee had expired. We did get to call to do a filter replacement if we bought the filter from them. I know we had routine maintenance done annually too. Hardly worth the price except for the security we felt at knowing major problems would be covered.
Wow, thank you for so much great input! I am certainly learning quickly about all things appliance-related (although maybe not quickly enough since I was silly enough to miss those July 4th sales!) :-)
The lowest current prices on the fridge are definitely at online stores such as Goedeker's, Abt Electronics or AJ Madison. Plus, these stores don't charge sales tax, so that is an additional savings. If we aren't going to get the extended warranty, my husband is wondering if it makes sense to order online. (Shipping is free, although it isn't "white glove." However, we have contractors working at our house who could bring the fridge in.)
One nice thing Sears offers is a 30 day exchange policy; if you aren't happy with the product within 30 days, you can return or exchange it. That is nice to know when we are trying a brand-new style of fridge. Still, I am so dismayed that their warranty options are so "all or nothing:" $550 or no warranty at all.
tjmwine, I do have one additional question on the HD warranty (if you see this.) Would that cover issues that go wrong with the ice maker or is it just on the very limited items that Gary pasted in (above) from the Whirlpool warranty? It sounds as if the HD warranty might be suitable for most fridges, but the basic warranty that comes with this Whirlpool fridge seems to hardly cover a thing. :-(
I will certainly figure this all out, my the input from the his group has been truly amazing and beyond helpful!
In appreciation,
This whole deal sounds dishonest.
First, any reputable manufacturer would warantee the sealed unit and compressor for atleast 5 years. All they are doing is selling the fridge cheaper by lessening their responsibility.
Secondly, I would never buy a 3rd party warranty. If the warranty company goes bankrupt you are SOL.
This happened to a friend of mine. Years back, he bought an extended warranty on a car. When he needed work done the dealer told him that the warranty company was no longer in business. The dealer explained that yes they sold the warranty to him, but the warranty company was the one who would pay the claims!!
The warranty I posted was directly from Whirlpool.
It is in their Operators Manual, for the fridge.
We ALWAYS recommend that you download the Operators manual BEFORE buying any appliance!!!!!!~~~that way you don't get "Nasty surprises"~~~~
like this "Anemic" (to be kind), warranty from Whirlpool.
So in this case we can't blame Sears or anybody else for the warranty~~~what we can do is send inputs to Whirlpool that we aren't about to purchase a fridge with such a useless warranty.
What you want to do, is read the "fine print" on ANY "3rd party warranty", you are considering~~~does it include the ice maker, (parts and labor), sealed system~~parts & labor, etc etc.
Again as I mentioned take the time to check out the company you are considering for "3rd Party Warranty"
Goggle (Home Depot Warranty reviews, New England) for example.
Now for some good news for you.
Looking at the reviews on the link you sent for the Whirlpool fridge, it got 59, 5 star reviews and 17, 4 star.
It got only 8, 1 or 2 star reviews, so that leaves us close to a 90% rate of highly rated reviews~~~~~it would be hard to find many fridges that can match that, albeit that these reviews are from posters that have only had the fridge for a short time~~~~so it does not (necessairily) indicate the "Long time reliability" of the fridge.
Of course this is only 1 web-site, but most reviews on other web-sites seem to be positive for the fridge~~~~and remember more folks will post complaints than will they "Atta Boys"!
Sara, what state do you live in? We bought our refrigerator locally from a family run appliance company that has great service and a reasonably priced 5 yr warranty that we negotiated lower price due to a lower price of the refrigerator at another store.
Gary, all terrific points! I was also encouraged by the positive reviews, although I did see that they are recent since the fridge is new. You make some great suggestions about researching warranties.
Prairiemoon2, I live in Massachusetts, right outside of Boston. I welcome any suggestions if you are local!
All best,
Myself, I would google WRX988SIBM Massachuettes, and find the best price at a "Local Store" and then check reviews for them, and if the store "Checks out", (review wise), then I would buy it there, but "Your mileage may vary"!!
However, if you are looking for the lowest price, then this one would be hard to beat, (and no strings attatched)!!!!!
Go to the "Helpful link" at the bottom of my post to go to the "Appliance Connection"
To see their lowest price you have to click the "Cart" but it is an "Amazing price".
If that appeals to you, then next step is to check out "Appliance Connection", both here in Garden Web as well as elsewhere
Let me know what ya think of that price, with that much of a savings, that will more that buy you 3rd party service!.
By the way, their 5 year service plan is $179 as I recall!
Here is a link that might be useful: Best price for
1) 'So if they can't fix it, You are "Stuck" (no offer of a replacement)."
Haven't had a problem like that with Whirlpool. In fact in CA LEMON LAW applies to appliances, A Liberal state like Massachusetts would have some what the same
2) Samsung , great product ,lousy service,Very hard to deal with. So much so I do not like selling them.Tries to get out of every thing but I have heard that once people threaten to call the CA ATTORNEY GENERAL's office they cave in.
3) Home Depot warranty starts after the manufacturer's warranty and cover any mechanical function including ice makers.
Hi again,
Prairiemoon, I found your email, and I will respond right away! Thanks so much!
Gary, that is a great website to check out for good pricing!
TJMwine, I really appreciate the clarification on the HD program, which sounds like quite a reasonable option.
It is so helpful to have multiple options to consider.
Many thanks again!
Sears warranties are not worth a dime and will only invite frustration and cost into your life if my experience is any indication. I didn't even consider Sears for my new kitchen appliances because I purchased a washing machine and bought their expensive 'master protection' agreement. It has not worked in one year, all the while under warranty. It can take up to 2 weeks to get an appointment. They never, ever show up during the hours of your appointment. Except when I was out of town, I've had multiple tech appointments each month. Finally after 11 months, a tech figured out they had now put in the wrong new control board 3 different times and that was why I had not had a machine in one year...in spite of it being under warranty and in spite of approaching 20 tech visits and in spite of them spending 5 times what it's worth in parts to repair it. Multiple times I've been 'escalated' to Customer Solutions, but when I was told by Elizabeth in Customer Solutions (and later Trish) that I had already had 3 "non-functional failures" so if the tech couldn't repair it on the next appointment...and he couldn't...that would my my 4th non functional failure and it would qualify for replacement. I called and a new Customer Solutions person said their research indicated I had only had 2 non functional failures and denied the replacement. This week, I waited at home 2 days only to be stood up both days. So now, I guess that they can't repair it, won't replace it and no longer bother to show up for appointments they make. And it's always the same, until today's notes are updated, we can't do anything...call back tomorrow. Calls take forever.
So if you are even considering purchasing a Sears warranty, here's a tip: When you call for a problem and the person gives you their name, ask for their employee ID number before you even begin speaking. Make a note of it. I used to only write their names down until John denied my replacement and apologized that everyone before him had "misinformed" me. Thus far, the only thing I can see that the Sears warranty people are good at is apologizing.
I have pages and pages of notes of my ongoing saga...more than a year's worth. And my washing machine still doesn't work. It was a Maytag 4000 series, btw.
By stark contrast, I ordered my new Bosch appliances before Bosch was shipping them to the US and still they ended up coming in late. So the store manager where I purchased them offered me loaner appliances until they came in. Didn't take him up on the offer as my kitchen reno is also running late, but I am thanking my lucky stars I didn't order from Sears.
Sara - We bought the refrigerator you're looking at a couple of weeks ago and had it installed this past Saturday. We paid a bit more than $2500 at a sale at Lowes. We paid $149 for an extended 5 year warranty. There's a somewhat different sale/rebate offer going on now - but the final price is about the same. Perhaps the really low sale price you saw at Sears was offset by the high extended warranty price?
FWIW - I wouldn't buy an expensive appliance like this without an extended warranty these days. Because manufacturers' warranties are so crummy. I haven't had much need for warranty service on the appliances I have - but all the major retailers here - regardless of the warranty company - pretty much use the same couple of repair outfits. IOW - you'll get the same level of service. I thought the Lowes warranty was fine - and my husband said it was better than the Home Depot warranty. But we've never had an issue with our couple of warranty repairs no matter where we bought an appliance.
BTW - we really like this new refrigerator and the way we can organize our food. It is of course too early to tell how it will stand up - but we haven't encountered any problems so far.
Two caveats. The freezer section really doesn't have room for "large storage". Like that really big Thanksgiving turkey. We have a unit in our garage for that kind of thing - but you may not. Also - unless your refrigerator cabinet enclosure is tall enough to accommodate the door hinges - the unit will stick out a ton from the edge of the enclosure (even if the enclosure is tall enough for the hinges - it will still stick out perhaps 1-2 inches more than a 25 cubic foot or so unit because of the depth of the doors).

I thought I would post another follow up to the nightmare that is my experience with a product under Sears warranty. Finally, 13 months later, after much persuasion from me, Sears agreed to replace my machine about a week before the 10 business days/2 weeks of tech service 'research' into the part my machine needed, which is no longer made which was known from the day it went into 'research' and still Sears continued to take that 2 weeks for 'research'.
This meant I had to go into a store to choose my replacement, which I did, as per a robo call instructions stating the credit amount and that it would include removal of old machine and installation of new machine. Delivery came yesterday. Guys did not know nor want to remove old machine. Asked me where the hoses were for my new machine. And no, they could not use the ones from the old machine.
You would think that after more than a year without a machine, even though it was under warranty the entire time, they might either inform me I needed hoses when I went to choose the replacement or include it for free. No, of course not. So they left with the new machine. No installation.
Sears left me a number to call about rescheduling delivery. It's a disconnected number. I tried calling the local store. It goes to the same endless loop of useless customer service at the national level and I've been disconnected 6 times today. I give up.
I honestly think I'm going to go into the store and create a terrible scene. I've had it. There is one thing and one thing only Sears is good at in my considerable experience of, at the very least, more than 60 hours on the phone with them in the last year...they can apologize well for their shortcomings. I should have just cut my losses and bought a new machine a year ago somewhere else.
It's now over 13 months since my washer stopped working and I still have no machine. That's my experience with their expensive warranties. They have spent at least $4000 in parts, the wrong part as it turned out, but hey, at least they have put plenty of billing on the A&E books (tech service company they partly own) which it would certainly appear is more important to them than customer service. Company store culture. Maybe they thought I would just give up and go away?
I know I am late to this thread but I bought a very expensive Kenmore 48 inch built in fridge from Sears. I had to have it serviced. I will say that Sears is the absolute worst company that I have ever dealt with. Not only are they inept, but in my opinion, the customer service people are trained to lie and deceive. To make matters worse, there is no "manager" to speak to ever. I finally gave up. In my opinion, no one should buy an expensive appliance from Sears. I do not know how a company can be this awful and still be in business.

I sent my seventeen years old boy to Rock Driving School to learn how to drive. He started with 10 hours driving lessons and after that the instructor said that my son would need to practice more with me to acquire more driving experience before his driving test. I took his advice and practice with my son. I took him for his driving test today and he passed with flying colors. Thanks for being sincere. HIGHLY RE... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I was referred to this school by a friend of mine that took some driving lessons with the owner last year. I read some reviews from different search engines about the school even though my friend told me that he's good. The reason I read the reviews is because for the past 5 years I've tried to learn how to drive but the fear of the traffic discourages me so I would terminate it. I needed someone with patience and... view moreLike this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
I cannot say enough great things about Peter, the owner of Rock Driving School. As an older driver (and after enough learner's permits to amuse the DMV), I decided to take the plunge and get an actual license. Peter was professional, patient, and had enough humor to calm my periodic fears of DC rush hour traffic. I highly recommend Rock Driving School for potential drivers of any age - Peter is simply that good.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
Very good experience with Rock Driving School. Instructor Peter was thorough, professional and punctual - and he has a very good sense of humor. I am now road ready after a decade of being afraid to drive. Definitely recommend Rock Driving School.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
Rock Drving is the best driving school I've ever used. The instruction was clear and articulate from the instructors and they made it easy to understand that driving in isnt hard at all. They also made me see that it's possible to have fun and be safe at the same time while behind the wheel. I would highly recommend Rock Driving School to all beginners and I promise you that you wont't be dissapointed.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse
My name is Daniel Lewis. I sent my son to this school and it was the best decision I ever made. He's a 17 years old and I was scared teaching him myself. After the training with Peter the owner he developed this confident that I've not seen in him since he was born. I took him to DMV driving test and he passed the first time.

Long Island Mule Palm By Kokomo JB
Erik Brown sent me this little fella last spring. It was about 2 feet tall when I got it. I love this little guy and it's toughness to this weather has been amazing. I credit Erik and his Mule Palm Nursery for growing such superior specimens. He is the only palm I have named...I call him Eeyore after the mule in Winnie The Pooh. Basically, Eeyore is the early warning system to the Pindos. I know if the mule can take it, the Pindos can as well.
This post was edited by Kokomo-JB on Fri, Dec 13, 13 at 15:38
Awesome Mule palm! I was thinking of getting a mule palm from Erik on e-Bay. What size is the one in your picture? Looks beautiful!
I hope it survives for you, it definitely looks like it's laughing at the snow and cold so far. I've always wanted to give some of my plants names, but I figure it would hurt more if it doesn't make it haha.
Thanks for sharing.
I believe Erik sent me a 7 Gallon one. Hardy and tough, already transplanted it twice-no shock at all. Erik breeds a great product and I highly recommend getting at least a 7 gallon from him. They are cheap and fun to have and possess.
This post was edited by Kokomo-JB on Sat, Dec 14, 13 at 13:14
Thank you for the clarification Erik. It was a very impressive size for a 3 Gallon.
It just went through a snow/sleet/rain storm over the past 20 hours and is looking great. As I have said, given its size, it is truly amazing to see it stand up to these weather conditions. If things remain the same, I', gonna have to have the truck make a special stop at your nursery and get me a 9 footer to plant up here!
Nice Mule! I know exactly where that Mule Palm at Epcot is, it's a really nice one!
There's another great mule palm near the Africa area.
Those 3 gallon mule palms that Erik has are really big! Hard to get pindo palms at that size and price on the internet let alone mules. I'll probably be trying one in the spring.
Thanks for sharing!
