Miele W4842 Owners - Program Settings Advice
Hi All, assuming I don't choke and cancel my Miele order tomorrow, my machines will arrive on Tuesday and the installers will be here Wednesday.
I have A LOT of laundry to do ... so ... I would like some user advice to avoid too much trial and error on my part (although I know there will be some). I assume you've all found a system that works for you (some of you working around the Normal setting with no heater).
Could you please provide advice for washer programs to use (temps and spin speeds if different from default), as well as, dryer programs for the following:
1. bath towels - all white - Egyptian cotton
2. tea towels - cotton/linen - I've never done these with a heater so would you use sanitary? Would you do that each time or once in a while? If not every time, what would you do between sanitary washes?
3. bedding - mostly all white sheets. Supima and Egyptian cotton.
4. kids' bedding - currently flannel sheets (white with a dark blue pattern on them)
6. kids' clothes (plus a few of husband's casuals) - mostly cotton - nothing too dirty
7. husband's dress shirts - cotton - I know there is a dress shirt program - assume I would use that?
I'm scared of these high heat washes. If I choose Extra White for white cotton sheets or white towels will they shrink?
Also, I get $50 in complimentary Miele Care products (part of the 10 year warranty upgrade). Any products in particular you would recommend trying - knowing that I don't like too much scent. Larsi, I know you like the Delicates Wash so I may give that a try. It smells of rose to me - which I like.
Thanks for your help/direction.
Hi Livebetter,
I have a W 3000 series and a W 5000 series Miele washing machine. This is the way I wash the loads you talking at in mine.
1. I use 60�C Cottons wash, this would be the Extra White cycle so it engages the heater. I use Water plus option so it would the same as the 'Sensitive' option on yours.
2. Teatowels again on Cottons 60�C or 75�C depending on how soiled they are. If you use 'Sanitary' you can drop the temp to hot.
3. Really good bedlinen, I would use Wrinkle Free with hot setting if they are white, with Sensitve option. You will notice the water level on this cycle is higher than others, besides Delicates.
4. Kid's bedding on very warm on Custom so the heater engages, Sensitve if you like
5. Kid's clothing or polos and shorts in general I wash on Wrinkle Free
6. Business shirts on shirts programme warm setting with sensitve option
I hope this helps.
I use only powder for whites and all coloured clothing I use a liquid detergent for coloureds. HE of course
I LOVE the Miele Care Collection Delicates wash. I've never thought of it smelling like roses, but maybe a little now that you mention it. Here in CA, it retails for $20/bottle, and the bottle is not very big. I do LOVE, LOVE it for sheets. The sheets feel like silk and look virtually ironed. I do ALWAYS use a cap of Downy with a little water for EVERY load I wash! I DO NOT like the Miele Care color or universal powder or liquid. I find Persil is much, much better. The MieleCare Fabric Softener is quite good though, and yes...the smell is light and very gentle!!
For sheets I almost always use Wrinkle Free, with either warm or very warm water. Spin speed High (Wrinkle Free will not allow you to select Max Spin). I've found Wrinkle Free to be the ideal sheet cycle.
For our clothes and our son's clothes, I use Normal, with either Warm or Very Warm water settings OR I use Custom with Warm or Very Warm. Custom will utilize the on board heater, so water temperature will be very consistent and maintained! Normal will just use water from your home water heater.
I no longer have any whites. I used to only buy white towels and white sheets...but I grew tired of the look and blandness of white. I have recently been on a chocolate brown and Cape Cod blue kick! But when I had white, I used Extra White ALL the time. No shrinking or fabric damage!
I CANNOT recommend enough having the dryer adjusted right away. Have them set the Normal Cycle to not allow as much moisture & set it a little warmer. Also, have them activate the extended cool down / extended reverse tumble. Clothes and sheets come out wrinkle free, cool and SO fluffy! 99% of time I just use Normal + the Gentle Option for everything I dry. Flawless everytime. Gentle just regulates how quickly the dryer heats up...it's easier on clothes, elastics, prints, etc...
I have my machine set to Water + / Extra Rinse. Having the higher rinse levels really makes the clothes feel softer and fresher. Just remember the Water+ will not work for any Custom Cycle...just the pre set buttons and Master Care cycles. The Comforters setting is AMAZING and I use the Beach towels on my son's school clothes, before I wash his clothes using either Normal or Custom. The Beach towels cycle, removes any sand or debris. Great cycle!
Do NOT canel your order!! You're gonna FLIP how amazing Miele washers and dryers are!!!
Thank you! This is a great place to start.
I had my current machine down to a fine science so I'm a little nervouse about starting from scratch.
I will speak with the installers about some of the program changes and see what's involved.
I guess we know what I'll be doing Wednesday and Thursday this week :)
@livebetter... My recommendation would be NOT to change any factory settings until you've had a chance to use the machine in its factory specified condition. Every person's needs are different, so while I may like higher rinse levels due to having a whole house water softener, others who do not have one may not find a need to increase the rinse levels.
With regards to changing your dryer settings, I would definitely recommend against doing that for the time being. If the dryer is lacking, adjust only where it is lacking. For instance, I tried the extended tumble but found that the clothes came out a little too dry for my taste. I like to feel a tiny bit of residual moisture in my clothes - it's good for the fabrics and helps keep them soft. The default settings are designed to deliver optimal drying with some residual moisture without OVER drying. But again, different people have different preferences and tastes. On those rare occasions when I want the load to tumble a little longer, I simply turn on the 15-minute no heat setting and have the best of both worlds.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A day after the Connecticut elementary school massacre, a senior congressional Democrat on Saturday called on U.S. lawmakers to pass sweeping new gun control measures including banning assault weapons and high-capacity clips, saying, "Politics be damned."
Representative John Larson, chairman of the House of Representatives Democratic Caucus, gave a list of specific policies he wanted the U.S. Congress to vote on quickly after the mass shooting in his home state of Connecticut.
U.S. lawmakers have not approved a major new gun law since 1994, and they let a ban on certain semiautomatic rifles known as assault weapons expire in 2004.
Hours after Friday's rampage at Sandy Hook Elementary School, President Barack Obama called for the federal government to prevent mass shootings "regardless of politics," but did not offer details on policies he would seek. He reiterated his commitment to "meaningful action" during his weekly radio address on Saturday.
Twenty-eight people died in the incident - 20 schoolchildren and six adults shot at the school, one woman at another nearby site and the gunman.
The incident put renewed pressure on Obama and other Democrats to reverse their years of caution about gun control laws and address the easy availability of firearms. However, gun control supporters face a Republican-led House that could block such measures.
"There may not be a single cure-all for the violence in our nation, however we must start the process and begin the deeper and longer conversations that need to take place. Politics be damned," Larson said in a statement.
"Of the 12 deadliest shootings in our nation's history, half of them have happened in the last five years. And there is not a single person in America who doesn't fear it will happen again."
Larson said Congress must quickly vote on measures that include requiring background checks for all gun sales, closing "loopholes" on the terrorist watch list and banning assault weapons and high-capacity clips.
Other Democrats, including Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal, New York Representative Carolyn McCarthy and California Representative George Miller, are calling for stricter gun control after the shootings.
Blumenthal and Miller said they believe the nation should have a "conversation" about gun control, but Blumenthal declined to discuss his ideas at depth so soon after the shootings, saying he wanted to show respect to the families of the victims.
McCarthy, whose husband was killed by a gunman on a commuter train in 1993, said in a statement: "I agree, now is not the time to talk about gun laws - the time for that conversation was long before all those kids in Connecticut died."
McCarthy and other Democrats, who traditionally support gun control, voiced skepticism about the call Obama made for "meaningful action," mostly because of his lack of specificity.
"I'm not sure if the president meant it or if it was just more rhetoric," a senior Democratic congressional aide said on Saturday. "But if anything is ever going to happen on gun control, now is the time. He is in a perfect position to act."
The aide said Obama should take advantage of having just won a second term, which means he can act without worrying about voter repercussions in the polls or donors withdrawing dollars.
Faced with intense lobbying by the National Rifle Association and other gun groups, and fearful of a backlash from gun-owning voters, most Democrats have stopped trying to pass new laws.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the NRA did not donate money to Obama during this year's presidential election but sent funds to his Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
In total, it donated $634,146 to Republicans during the 2012 election and $85,450 to Democrats.

How tall do Rozanne Geraniums grow for YOU?
Hi everyone. I'm going to be planting 'Rozanne' Geranium next spring. I was just wondering how tall it grows for you all. I've read both 12 inches tall and 20 inches tall, but then some people say it has grown to 3 feet for them! Thanks in advance for any input you can give.
~ Jennifer
It depends on where you are going to plant her. Rozanne grows from a central crown then sprawls. If she is planted in a sunny open area with room to spread she will form a large mound about 12-15 inches tall. If she is planted close to other plants she may weave her way through them, as she has done with my rose bush, or grow more upright with the support of plants around her, as she has done with my boxwood. She will grow into a dense mound in the sun, and will be more spindly in the shade. Regardless, you will be rewarded with blooms from June to Frost.

'Elysium': Neill Blomkamp's 'Dirty,' 'Cheap' Sci-Fi Debuts With Matt Damon, Jodie Foster
The cast and crew of Sony's late summer thriller stepped out to celebrate the premiere.
Elysium descended upon Westwood's Regency Village Theater on Thursday as Matt Damon, Jodie Foster and filmmaker Neill Blomkamp stepped out for the premiere of Sony's sci-fi thriller.
"If you see a great movie, it can't be made by accident," Damon told The Hollywood Reporter on the gray carpet as he made his way into the theater. "When I saw District 9, I just knew there was a great director behind it with an original voice, so I just put him at the head of the list of people I wanted to work with."
The feeling was mutual for Blomkamp, who said he was always hoping to cast Damon in the role of Max, a poor citizen of Earth who fights his way up to Elysium -- a man-made space station created to house wealthy and privileged humans.

"I was looking for Matt," Blomkamp said of casting the project. "There wasn't really anyone else. All I wanted to do was meet him and make sure he wasn't going to be a Hollywood diva, but he wasn't, so he's perfect."
In an age where budgets are scrutinized by the media -- which has recently been blamed for dooming projects before they are even released -- producer Simon Kinberg praises Blomkamp's ability to deliver a low-budget, high-quality film.
"This film is a lot cheaper than a lot of the other summer tentpoles, largely because Neill has such a clear vision for what the film is, so there's not a lot of reimaging while you're shooting," Kinberg told THR. "This film was made probably for half of what it would have been made for with a different filmmaker in a different situation at another studio."
Blomkamp puts it in simpler terms: "[I'm] just a dirty, cheap filmmaker," he said. "My style is hand-held cameras and dirty, natural light. It's not overly slick."
Elysium opens nationwide on Aug. 9. The film was reportedly made on a $90 million budget and is projected to bring in a $35 million-plus debut in its opening weekend.
The film is a sophomore effort for Blomkamp, whose Peter Jackson-produced debut, District 9, opened in 2009 and has earned more than $210 million to date worldwide.
"It was as close to a perfect film as I could imagine," said Foster of District 9. "I wanted to be a part of whatever his next movie was. He could make a film that is so entertaining and has great structure to it, but still has this real heart and drive."
With Elysium, Blomkamp drew on a frightening real-life experience in Mexico.
"I got arrested in Tijuana in 2005, and I was on the other side of the border where the police dropped us off," he said of his inspiration. "We had to walk back for about an hour, and I could see the U.S. border floodlights -- this movie is basically that."
But to hear actress Alice Braga tell it, Elysium should be an all-encompassing crowd pleaser. "It's the perfect combination of an action, sci-fi, futuristic film with a message."

2000 Mercury Sable Review
It's a safety cage with wheels, good gas mileage
It doesn't attract women in the least
Out Of 4 Stars I Give It A 1.5 — My car is a P.O.S. It is good for getting me two and from work is all. It doesn't have a lot of cargo space, It doesn't look cool, it doesn't drive fast, and women don't like it. it looks like an old person car.

Awesome — very nice acceleration and awesome handling. Brakes kind of need some help but they do their job. nice interior with $500 sound system. It's a fun car to drive. Really fun to drive around sharp turns and curvy roads. pretty fast for a used car and no cruise control.

2000 Mercury Sable GS Review
Roomy,Sun Roof,16 inch tires, Never failed to crank 124,000 miles, and 8 years later.
Heater takes a while to warm up.
I Have Loved This Car Since The Day I Bought It. — I became a divorced young woman and I was driving a mini-van. I needed something that was dependable, would carry myself and three children, but still look young and hip. My daughter who was 6 when I bought the car thought Mama had a cool car and she loved the sun roof. Now 14 years old, still thinks her Mama has the coolest car ever. We both love the stereo and love the way the car handles no matter what speed your going.

2000 Mercury Sable LS Wagon Review
Great Car
Mostly unattractive, soft handling, numb handling feedback
2000 Mercury Sable, Ls Wagon Premium, 24 Valve Dohc, 5-sp Auto — Wonderful value family car or commuting car. I am selling my truck to make this car my daily drive. I bought the wagon so I can throw stuff in the back like I would my truck. What I can't fit in the back I'll throw in a utility trailer that I'll haul behind the wagon. This is one of the last remaining rear facing seat wagons. The only manufacturer still making REAL wagons (meaning there is a matching sedan) with 3rd row seats that are rear facing is the mercedes E class.

2000 Mercury Sable LS Premium Review
Good-sized; carries up to 5 passengers comfortably; very good trunk/cargo capacity; strong 24V V6
Not particularly sporty; no heated seats; I don't like the column shifter
A Very Competent All-arounder, With Emphasis On Luxury — Compared to my previous car, this is a gem. Very spacious inside, with a lot of top-end goodies, like leather seating, 6-disc CD changer, power-adjustable pedals, automatic thermostat-style AC, nice alloy wheels, automatic headlights, and the best V6 offered for this model at the time. It is reasonably quick, but not sporty; however, it does handle well for a car of its size; much more confidence-inspiring through the twisties than my previous Saturn SL. Despite a somewhat anonymous appearance, I can't help but kind of like the appearance on the outside. The 2-tone dash is a nice touch on the inside. Cost of ownership has been reasonably low so far since I purchased it in April 2010.

Has Pep and good handling
Cost of Maintenance (11yrs old)
Really Nice Car — This is a fun car to drive. I love the sun/moon roof and look of the car. The color took a while to warm up to but thats just me. It has a lot of pep and power. It is a pretty ecconomical car to drive.

homemade whipped coconut oil body butter recipe I love that this recipe only requires one (yes, one!) ingredient. Anything else is completely optional. It also only takes a few measly minutes, and you'll have enough whipped body butter to last at least a month or two. In fact, if you get carried away, put some in an attractive jar and it makes a great gift! It feels sinfully luxurious as a moisturizer, and yet an entire jar of it costs less than $2 to make.

Add cornstarch to clear polish to get matte finish; easier than paying so much for matte nail polish. So smart! Pour a bit of your nail polish color of choice onto a piece of wax paper or foil, and add just a pinch of corn starch to the paint. Mix with a toothpick and apply to your nails how you normally would!

Way to upcycle a too-big shirt...absolute diy - this is an awesome idea! (NOTE: I repinned this from another site and discovered that the linked image took me to Banana Republic, where, of course, the item is no longer available). So, this particular shirt is NOT diy but it *can* be done, which is why I pinned it. I'd probably just use 2 buttons. Another idea might be to use a decorative button or jeweled piece and sew in place.
Way to upcycle a too-big shirt...absolute diy - this is an awesome idea! DEB: Love this idea. I have seen many mens shirts I liked better.The buttons look so much nicer than the string thing. And you can press that bottom part STIFF starch maybe? to help the bottom stay looking nice. "Sizing" might be a better option. Belts work great to though, these days.

DIY Facial Mask for Gorgeous, Decongested Skin! The amazing Aspirin and Aloe Vera Face Mask
DIY Facial Mask for Gorgeous, Decongested Skin! The amazing Aspirin Mask! You'll need: The cheapest generic aspirin you can find. If you can get your hands on uncoated aspirin grab it! Or you can use aspirin powder but this is more costly than a giant bottle of generic. 100% Pure, No artificial dye or fragrance added Aloe Vera Gel (available at any drug store, Target, etc) Sturdy spoon to crush the aspirins. Piece of wax paper, plastic wrap or a pinch bowl like the one in the pic to crush and mix up the mask. To make the mask: Simply take 5-8 aspirin depending how much of your skin you'll be masking. If you're doing just your nose or chin you'll only need 2 or 3. Take one aspirin at a time on your wax paper, pinch bowl, etc and crush each one into a powder with your spoon. Then add a few pea size drops of Aloe Vera Gel and mix into the aspirin to get a smooth paste. Make sure not to use too much of the aloe vera gel which will result in a very running texture that will drip off your face. Start with a small amount of aloe vera gel and add more if needed. Finally, apply the mask where needed! Be careful not to get it too close or in the nostrils as it can cause sneezing but using the aloe vera gel will help elminate this.

Kuntz goes from worrisome to placing 7th
Since Mason Kuntz's birthday is in October, the 12-year-old from Dickinson was forced to compete in the 13- to 14-year-old age group in Hershey's track and field meets.
She was worried about qualifying -- let alone placing -- in the Hershey's National track and field meet.
"I felt like there was a small part of me that knew I could make it," Kuntz said.

Technical Papers and Presentations
Coupling Forced Convection in Air Gaps with Heat and Moisture Transfer inside Constructions
M. Bianchi Janetti[1], F. Ochs[1]
[1]University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
Introduction: The simulation of coupled heat and moisture transfer in constructions is becoming even more important in the last years. COMSOL Multiphysics represents a powerful tool for this kind of simulations as shown in [1,2,3], although applications in this area are still rare. For the realistic prediction of the heat and moisture distribution in building elements exposed to external climatic ...
Stochastic Diffusion of Calcium Ions Through a Nanopore in the Cell Membrane Created by Electroporation
O. Henao[1], V. Gómez[1], I. De La Pava[1], J. Sánchez [1]
[1]Grupo Fisiología Celular y Aplicada, Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira, Pereira, Risaralda, Colombia
We simulated the diffusion of calcium ions through a nanopore created in the cell membrane by electroporation, in presence and absence of the external electric field responsible of the membrane permeabilization. First we solved the set of coupled differential equations that describe the process of ionic diffusion in a 2D nanopore model using the AC/DC Module and the Transport of Diluted Species ...
Fresh Produce Safety During Hydrocooling: An Engineering Model
A. Warning[1], A. K. Datta[1]
[1]Department of Biological & Environmental Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA
Hydrocooling is the process by which warm produce is chilled with water. The chilling of warm produce generates a negative pressure differential between the produce (warm) and (cold) water due to the condensation of water vapor inside the produce which forms a vacuum and can pull in contaminated water through an opening. A porous media based model of water infiltration was developed using a ...
Model of Heat and Mass Transfer with Moving Boundary During Roasting of Meat in Convection-Oven
A.H. Feyissa[1], J. Adler-Nissen[1], and K.V. Gernaey[2]
[1]Food Production Engineering, National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
[2]Department of Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Kgs. Lyngby, Denmark
A 2D mathematical model of coupled heat and mass transfer describing oven roasting of meat was formulated from first principles. The current formulation of model equations incorporates the effect of shrinkage phenomena and water holding capacity. The model equations are based on conservation of mass and energy. The pressure driven transport of water in meat is expressed using Darcy's equation. ...
Computational Building Physics using COMSOL Multiphysics
A.W.M. van Schijndel
Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
This paper presents a first modeling guide for the modeling and simulation of Heat, Air & Moisture (HAM) transport of building constructions using COMSOL with Matlab. The aim of the paper is to provide a relative easy access to HAM modeling and simulation for people who have only minor experience with Matlab and COMSOL. --------------------------------- Keynote speaker's ...
Effect of Bed Diffusion and Operating Parameters on Char Combustion in the Context of Underground Coal Gasification
S. Mahajani, and G. Samdani
Indian Institute of Technology Bombay
Mumbai, India
Char combustion is one of the most important reactions in the process of Underground Coal Gasification (UCG). Experiments are performed in a boat reactor under near isothermal condition to demonstrate effects of heat and mass transfer and bed diffusion through ash layer. To obtain a complete overview of boat experiments and to further get insights, CFD analysis of boat reactor is performed using ...
Modeling Heat and Moisture Transport During Hydration of Cement-Based Materials in Semi-Adiabatic Conditions
E. Hernandez-Bautista[1,2], D. Bentz[1], S. Sandoval-Torres[2], P. Cano-Barrita[2]
[1]National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD, USA
[2]Instituto Politécnico Nacional/CIIDIR Unidad Oaxaca, Oaxaca, México
The process of accelerated curing of pre-cast concrete has a significant importance in the thermal behavior of concrete. A multiphysics model that describes hydration and heat and mass transport in cement based materials was developed. The hydration reactions are described by a maturity function that uses the equivalent time concept, thereby describing the change in the degree of hydration based ...
Watching Paint Dry: A 2D Model of Latex Film Formation
W. Vetterling
ZINK, Imaging Inc.
Bedford, MA
In this work we have constructed a 2D COMSOL model for the drying of Latex. It is based on a prior 1D model of Kiil, but also includes the effects of a flowing air stream, which is necessary to remove the evaporated water vapor. The model illustrates several features of drying that are not accessible to the 1D model, in particular the a profile in the air/water interface that forms near the ...
Simulation of the Coalescence and Subsequent Mixing of Inkjet Printed Droplets
M.H.A. van Dongen[1], H.J. van Halewijn[2]
[1]Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Expertise Centre Thin Films & Functional Materials, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
[2]Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Coalescence of droplets is a widely investigated phenomenon. In inkjet printing micrometer sized droplets are deposited on a substrate which when positioned close enough to each other will coalesce and mix. Little is known about the flows and mixing behaviour within these small droplets. In this investigation we follow the time evolved coalescence of two droplets with volume ratios ranging from ...
Transport of Cadmium through Molten Salt to Argon Cover Gas in Electrorefiner
K.Revathy[1], S. Agarwal[1], B. Muralidharan[1], G. Padmakumar[1], K. K. Rajan[1]

I purchased this to place in the kitchen for use as a plant stand. It was easy to assemble, but you need 2 people to do it. I liked the fact that my recycling bins fit perfectly under this and that was something I was specifically looking for. I didn't want to spend a lot of money or get real wood in the event that the plants leak when watered. I am happy with the purchase and it was a pefect fit for what I was looking to use this for.Read More
Questions & Answers
Ordered before, making larger desk with these pieces.
Will this desk support a sewing machine place near the front of the desk without tipping forward?
Hi Sewing Desk, unfortunately, we do not weight test our items. The legs are the same width at the top under the desk top as they are at the bottom on the floor. I do not see tipping being an issue. Thanks for shopping with us! Sherri R.
I'm pretty sure it would. It's a heavy piece. My husband piles tons on it, including his forearms!

What would Muslims like you to know?
"Mahad saneed!"
That's "thank you" in Somali—just one of the phrases volunteer John Dunham has learned to connect with students at our Open Door Learning Center - Northside. Many of John's advanced ESL students are from East Africa.
Last month, he posed a question to the class: "What do you wish all Americans knew about Muslims?" As students conversed, John took notes. He was moved by their passion and call for peace. John compiled his students' words with his thoughts, and his Op-Ed piece was published in the Star Tribune. Take a look to see what our Open Door students shared about being Muslim.
Mahad saneed, John, for using your own experience in our classes to demonstrate that bridging a divide of culture and language between us simply takes acknowledgment of another human being.

Many in the Congress in Tamil Nadu were taken by surprise by Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad's visit to Chennai and his meeting with DMK leader M. Karunanidhi.
Mr. Azad has a programme at the Christian Medical College in Vellore on Friday and he made a stopover in Chennai to call on Mr. Karunanidhi.
He was received at the airport by former TNCC president K.V. Thangkabalu, a known pro-DMK Congress leader, and a close friend of Mr. Azad. Mr. Thangkabalu accompanied him to Mr Karunanidhi's CIT colony residence.
Even though TNCC president B.S. Gnanadesikan was informed about Mr. Azad's programme and he arranged accommodation for his security personnel, he did not accompany him to meet Mr. Karunanidhi. Neither the supporters of Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram nor those of Union Shipping Minister Vasan (both have a substantial following among the Congressmen) were aware of Mr. Azad's visit. In fact, none of the second-line Congress leaders knew about the meeting.
This article has been edited to incorporate the following correction:
Ghulam Nabi Azad has been wrongly described as Union Home Minister in the report, "Azad meet with Karunanidhi surprises many" (Jan. 10, 2014, some editions). It should have been Union Health and Family Welfare Minister.

Frozen windshield wiper fluid
Hi all,
When it gets to the single digits, and even teens, my windshield wiper fluid freezes up. I bought a new bottle of it and kept it on a covered porch, and its frozen solid too, with single digits for a couple days. That stuff shouldn't freeze though, right?
I've seen stuff out there that says "deicer windshield wiper fluid", but I think its alot more toxic than just the wiper fluid, and I have concerns over animals getting to it.
Is there a way to defrost the stuff that's in my car without having to drive it for 50 miles before it heats up?
Also....the new stuff that froze in the bottle, does that mean its defective (too diluted)?
Does windshield wiper fluid lose its ability to withstand freezing, the older it is? Thanks for your help.
I'm a Canuck living in the States!! What is the chance you purchased "summer" windshield fluid? I know its still on the shelves in some stores. 5F is -15C and most winter windshield fluid usually goes a lot colder than that.
Another problem may be that you just topped off u reservoir with the winter fluid, which already had summer stuff in it, thus diluting it!! I just keep winter stuff in mine all year round.
Thanks everyone,
I'm pretty sure it was the winter stuff. I'm always careful to buy the winter stuff in late fall. Maybe someone at the factory was asleep on the job and mislabeled the stuff? Can you ever buy some sort of fluid warmer and could easily be connected to the car's electrical system? How about those coffee/mug warmers that you plug into the cigarette lighter? haha
I suppose I could sort of scoop out as much as I could reach and put new stuff in there, bought from a different store?
You don't realize how important windshield wiper fluid is until you need it and don't have it!
I have had this happen once too. In my case it was summer grade washer fluid that I had kept in my trunk. The brand name was "All Weather" so I figured that meant all weather. Looking closer at the frozen solid bottle it showed it was only good down to 10 deg F. Went and bought the same brand again, but winter grade, rated for down to -20 deg F. I was glad I had not used any of the other stuff in the resevoir or it would probably have froze and split open. So now as a habit I always check the temp rating before buying.
Hey, you guys, you betcha by golly, it was -26F this morning in lovely Minot, ND and I accidently hit my washers when I was driving to work and it worked as always. My father had the same problem, he used a brand from Walmart in Albuquerque NM, exactly the same stuff we use up here because he had the bottle with him (he carries all that type of stuff with him...oil, power steering fluid, etc) but he came up here in November last year, hit some sub-zero stuff here and his tank froze solid, but our still worked.
Don't know what to say,maybe they have a different formula for the stuff that comes north.
Howdy Canadian neighbors.
All that you need to do is go purchase a small, cheap aquarium heater from your grocery store & drop it into the tank. Let it sit in there for a little bit & presto. Your tank & LINES are now thawed. Process typically takes about 15 minutes.
i work in a convenience store and the outside fluid reservoirs always freeze up or at best are slushy. we add isopropyl alcohol but are never sure just how much to put in. the tanks hold a full bottle of wwfluid (yes, we use the good stuff during the winter that is supposed to be good to -45).anybody got any suggestions on how much of the alcohol to use? thanks for your help!

I own a Rogue 10
Posted by: Dr_Disco on Apr-19-13 9:54 AM (EST)
and have paddled all of the competition. They all have their own tradeoff point. The Rogue and Pyranha Fusion both do better at WW and not as well in flat water compared to the other crossover boats. I haven't had any problem with the skeg although I rarely use it, even on flat water since I know how to paddle a WW boat in a straight line. I like the boat for what it was intended to do.

Tips on renting a dumpster in Northglenn, CO
Estimating the volume of junk or debris
It's difficult to estimate the amount of junk or debris you'll have for a particular project, such as a roofing job or household cleanout. Your best source of information in this case is your dumpster rental company. They have experience in dealing with a wide variety and quantities of waste and debris. They can help you choose the ideal container size with relatively precise accuracy.
If you choose to estimate the amount of debris yourself, you can measure it and convert it to cubic yards. One cubic yard is equal to a 3 ft. x 3 ft. x 3 ft. pile of debris. That's about the volume of a standard kitchen stove.
Estimating the weight of a load is extremely difficult, and so it's best to consult your dumpster provider to determine if your load is likely under the weight allowance for a particular container size.
How many days is the rental period?
One week is a standard rental period, although it's not uncommon to find some dumpster rental companies offering 14-day rentals included in the price. Some may even charge a daily fee for rental, which could end up being a better deal in cases where you only need the container on site for a day or two.
If you need a dumpster for longer than the rental period, you can request it for longer and pay a "late fee" of typically $5 or $10 per day. Many rental companies cap the maximum length of the rental due to inventory issues. To have a debris box picked up prior to the end of the rental period, simply call the company and request a pick-up.
5 common types of dumpsters
Commercial dumpsters – Used for weekly/monthly trash hauling services at businesses. Not for temporary use.
Roll-off containers – Dumpsters you rent for temporary use at home, construction sites or commercial cleanups.
Trailer dumpsters – An alternative to roll-off dumpsters used by some rental providers. It offers the advantage of being on wheels, which decreases the risk of damage to your driveway.
Bag-style containers – "Bagster" and similar type of compact containers ranging from 1 cubic yard to 3 cubic yards, generally.
"Lowboy" dumpsters – Roll-off dumpsters with low sides, ideal for loading heavy materials, such as dirt, concrete or masonry.

Advice on Dahlia Tubers please
For the first time ever, I overwintered some Dahlia Tubers. I re-planted the main Tubers a few weeks ago but, detached some smaller ones from the main bunch, which I put 3 in a 5in/13cm pot. I guess they should have gone into separate pots, but I was only half-expecting to get anything out of them.
You can imagine my joy when two started to spout. Don't ask me why I only put them halfway into the compost; I guess I wanted to see where they would sprout from. They obviously need to be re-planted deeper, but would the shoot/s be OK being covered with compost. I guess so, because there's no other way. I don't fancy trying cuttings, as I could lose them.
wouldnt the issue be.. whether that pot will support whatever size dahlia you have ....
so.. presuming they need a bigger pot ... i would get the new pot.. fill with media ... tip them out of this one.. root mass intact.. place it in the new pot ...at the appropriate height.. backfill accordingly ....and be done with them
i dont know why you think this is a propagation issue.. i suppose you might get more responses in the perennial.. or dahlia forum.. if there is one ..
good luck
Put them in at Least at 12" pot and make sure that where those sprouts are are covered by 6" of dirt. They will come up'. Put a tomato cage or stakes for support. I don't know how big of dahlias they are but the bigger the pot the better flowers you will get. I put one tuber each in a 12" pot, and the whole pot is full of tubers by the end of the season when I dig them up. I divide and give to friends to plant in the spring.
For future reference, the little neck where they sprout, the sprout is called the "eye." Instead of planting them with the neck and eye pointing to the sky, lie them down horizontally (rotated with the eye facing up).
Thank you for for your helpful information. The main 'bunch' of tubers have just started to sprout also. I should have started them off ages ago, but we've had a prolonged cold spring and I'm wondering whether they're going to make enough growth to actually flower.
As for the 'eyes', I can never make out where the dormant ones are. Unlike the smooth surface of a Potato, Dahlias are wrinkled and fissured.
We bought some packed tubers a couple of weeks ago which have started to shoot already, whereas my saved ones have been decidedly slower. Maybe because the varieties are different, or the conditions in which they were stored.
