narrow guest bathroom layout help please!
We are about to re-do our kitchen and I realized that while I am having all this work done I should really re-do our existing guest bathroom. Problem is it is extremely narrow and nowhere near up to current codes. It is 42" x 100", and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get a toilet, sink and shower back in there and get the 24" code clearance requirement.
It is a 1936 Cape Cod style house, and right outside the bathroom is a narrow landing to the stairs so I can't widen it at all unfortunately (the guest "suite" is on its own small floor) The bedroom is already quite small so cutting into it feels unwise.
I know I want to convert the bathroom door to a pocket door to make the most of the space. I've looked at wall hung toilets but they still seem to take 22" off the wall, leaving only 22 inches of clearance instead of 24. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Since it's existing, you may not have to bring it up to code. Otherwise, I don't see any alternative to stealing a little space from the bedroom. I'd certainly prefer that to having a cramped bathroom. And do yourself a favor, don't even get started with ideas about corner toilets and tiny sinks.
Is there a reason that someone would need to use the laundry room when someone was using the bathroom? Could you instead, have the bathroom door be where your laundry room door is and just leave it at that? Of, if you want separation of spaces, put another door for the laundry under the stairs, but beyond the current bathroom door, thereby allowing for more front-of-toilet space (by making the bathroom somewhat L shaped)?
Alternatively, is the laundry room up for remodel as well?
Yes, the laundry room is on a different level so not an option for borrowing space.
I didn't realize fixtures could share space for code clearance. So if I turn the toilet onto the guest room wall, have a 18" deep vanity, and put in a pocket door-- that would make it to code? I would be thrilled with that setup. Thanks for the ideas!

Electrolux Icon E30EW85GSS Double Wall Oven issues
I bought a new Electrolux E30EW85GSS double wall oven that was a floor model from an Electrolux dealer that also installed. After install, the racks slide into the oven on their own & I burned my arm on the rack trying to get a hot casserole out. Called dealer/installer & they came out & stated everything was OK, it was a problem w/my kitchen cabinet not being plumb (not true). After a few weeks, part of the LED lights on the time display went out. Elux repair guy from VIA appliances came out, said he had to order part & would come back. 2 wks later he came back out, fixed the LED lights & could not get the oven back in. He told us that it was installed improperly, that the junction box in the back at the bottom was sticking out too far from the back wall so the upper part was flush to the cabinet but the lower part was sticking too far out and the screws put in during install were cockeyed. Left the oven sitting out & told us to get ApplianceLand installers to come out & install it correctly. Installers came out & stated that there was nothing they could do because the wires of the double oven were too short for them to seat the junction box further back & Electrolux would not allow an extension or it would void the warranty. Now we are left with an oven that will never go back in when the Electrolux VIA guys come out to fix it (I haven't even used self clean yet) & will require a 2nd visit from dealer installers to put it back in. After my warranty expires, I will need to pay double for any repairs. After reading forums, I called Electrolux CS and told my tale to Jasmine in Georgia, who said, "Sorry, your warranty does not cover improper installation." I said, I purchased a new oven from an Electrolux authorized dealer & paid their installers, so it should. Installers blame Electrolux design, Electrolux VIA repairman blames installers. I asked to return the oven & buy another brand right after the LED lights went out, but ApplianceLand said, "No, your 30-day return window has elapsed." What can I do?
What I would do, is wait till you get a few more responses to your thread, and then send the URL for the thread to Electrolux.
There is a "TREMENDOUS" amount of competition among ovens. Electrolux enjoyed being one of the favorites here in Garden Web.
There were a few "Early" porcelain problems with the Electrolux, but we have seen no problems with ovens made since 2012 or so, and those that were replaced , we saw no complaints about the replacement ovens, (unlike Elux's Expensive Competition).
Now Bosch has a new oven out, and things "Seem to be" swinging in the favour of the Bosch Ovens, here in Garden Web~~~~~hopefully Electrolux is smart enough to know that posts , (such as yours), wlll only be an asset to Bosch, whilst at the same time a "Liability" to Electrolux.
I've had my Electrolux Icon for 8 years now. No problems "WHATSOVER'!!!!!!!, but if I keep seeing more posts, (such as yours), well I "might"~~~~just "Might", jump on the "Bosch Band Wagon", Toooooo!!!!!!
I mean, you are getting more "Runaround" than the Ferris Wheels and carousels at the Circus!!!
Send them the Thread~~~~They need to "Smarten Up"!!!!!!
That is a disturbing story, given that your problems are with the Electrolux oven that I was planning to purchase. Still have time, though, so will do more research...
I was just on AJ Madison and Goedeckers web sites looking at the ELUX double wall ovens. I had been at Best Buy last week where they have a Pacific Sales showroom and looked at them in person and have been planning on ordering them over the Memorial day holiday (when they are supposed to be better priced). I will wait to see how this turns out as the Bosch ovens were definitely in second place for purchase by me. Price is not the most important consideration. Warranty and customer service is and I know Bosch service in my area is good.
Companies need to learn the good will toward a customer, especially one who posts on gardenweb, earns them much in the way of business. Stand behind your product or help a customer solve an issue and your customer base expands. Try to escape your obligation or treat a customer poorly, and your base shrinks.
Pay attention to your customers and their needs.
Thank you for the Facebook suggestion, I just did that. If you go to the Electrolux FB page (URL BELOW) and in the center of its FB page right under the cover photo, hover your cursor over "Highlights" & then select "Posts by Others" it is alarming to read the posts that people have left. I wish I had looked there before I bought the oven.
I was told that Bosch ovens were popular but I did not see any Bosch double wall ovens when I went to ApplianceLand and HHGregg.

You find posts like that on all companies, on all kinds of websites. I challenge you to find a competitor to Electrolux with a Facebook page that does not have complaints. Consumers have realized that social media is the most effective way nowadays to get their problems resolved.
The first Electrolux oven (a single) we had wouldn't fit in the cabinet. The cabinet hole was square, but the oven was not. The box looked fine,but the whole thing was racked. We had our contractor take it back and we ordered another one. We were there when he unloaded it. Box looked fine, When we opened the door, both corners of the box down by the hinge had an alarming amount of distintively-blue "powder"-- fine glass shard from the enamel. We couldn't see visible cracks,but that was just too scary after reading about the blue enamel issues of the past. Took that one back, ordered a third. Were starting to think that maybe a whole container got dropped onto a dock or something. Something stressful had happened in the door hinge area.
Third time, we unpacked the carton ourselves on the loading dock at the warehouse. There was some blue dust, but not nearly as much as before. We accepted this one, and now counters have been installed over it and work is marching on, but it hasn't been used yet, so only time will tell if we should have accepted that one or just moved on.
We were also considering a Bosch as a contender. Then just recently, I read here about one catching on fire. You can always get a lemon, but it's not like there are some 100% reliable options out there. Fingers crossed for both of us!
Don't use self clean for the entire session they tell you to use it for unless you want more problems.
Most jurisdictions have some sort of laws along the lines of "products when sold and correctly installed must be capable of satisfactorily performing their given function as intended."
You could look into how a Small Claims Court action would be brought in your area if you really can't get their attention any other way.
Well, the posting to Facebook along with the URL link to this forum at GardenWeb yielded only a response from Electrolux. They emailed me with the name of yet another Electrolux installer that I would need to pay to come out to reinstall the oven. Electrolux suggested that these installers could keep in contact with them & maybe the problem would be solved. Ha! The 1st installers did precisely that. We have exposed shims & no trim around the oven to keep the oven level. Haven't used the clean cycle at all yet. 1-yr warranty expired & now found out extended warranty is covered by a 3rd party, NSI. Electrolux warranty repair man told me he never uses the clean cycle & that dirty ovens make better tasting food. Yikes!
I have had my Electrolux ICON for almost 5 years and my biggest complaints were the same as what I am reading here. I started searching and found this site, because my oven is being replaced by my master protection agreement. I considered replacing my oven with another Electrolux thinking they are making them better now and I thought it would be nice to keep the match to my Electrolux gas stovetop. The first time I used my self cleaning option after I owned it a year, the paint was ruined on the bottom of the oven. It looks cloudy gray. I know I should have tried it sooner. I owned one before this and the blue coating looked so much better. My current oven looks like it was spray painted and has drips and uneven color. I wanted to return it but my husband said no. Also I have also burned my hands many times as the glider rack moves way too easily, which has caused me to spill a dish or two all over the hot glass door. Needless to say it is very difficult to clean up. So I decided to use the basic rack but it barely moves when the oven gets hot and it goes crooked and gets stuck and my food sloshes all over.
I've been waiting for my reno for 5 years, and we're planning to start this spring. Until about 2 years ago I had planned on using Electrolux ovens because people here were so happy with them and they were reasonably priced. Now, however, I'm planning on Bosch. This thread definitely reinforces my decision.
RRichardson, I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this. I hope you get satisfaction through small claims court if Electrolux continues to refuse to help you. Thank you for posting.

Simple validations for node and the browser.
A DOM-independent validation library for Node.js, io.js and the browser.
It supports both sync
It allows you to seamlessly validate full javascript objects, defining custom messages, labels, and validations, with full support for asynchronous validations with promises. It supports conditional validations, and has powerful, consistent error structuring and utility methods for manipulating your errors' output any way you can imagine.
var mainRules = Checkitrules; mainRules runobj then console.log'The fields: ' + _keysvalidatedFieldsjoin', ' + ' were validated!'; caughtCheckitError $"#errors"htmlerrmap return '<li>' key + ': ' + valfirstmessage + '</li>'; join''; ;
npm install checkit
The easiest way to use the library is with webpack or browserify
Checkit(validators, [options])
The main
Checkit constructor may be called with or without the
new keyword, taking a hash of fields/rules for these fields to be validated.
Used to specify the default language key for using a particular language file, currently en and es are supported.
Specifies labels for use in error messages for specific keys
Adds specific messages for individual errors
checkit.validate (alias)
var checkit = firstName: 'required' lastName: 'required' email: 'required' 'email'; var body = email: 'email@example.com' firstName: 'Tim' lastName: 'Griesser' githubUsername: 'tgriesser'; checkitrunbodythen console.logvalidated;catchCheckitError console.logerrtoJSON;
checkit.validateSync (alias)
var checkit = firstName: 'required' lastName: 'required' email: 'required' 'email'; var body = email: 'firstname.lastname@example.com' firstName: 'Tim' lastName: 'Griesser' githubUsername: 'tgriesser'; var err validated = checkitvalidateSyncbody // ...
Checkit.check(key, value, rules)
Checkitcheck'email' email 'required' 'validEmail' catch console.logerrmessage ;
Checkit.checkSync(key, value, rules)
// ES6... var err resp = CheckitcheckSync'email' email 'required' 'validEmail' if err else // ...
Available Validators
|Validation Name
|The value must be yes, on, or 1. This is useful for validating "Terms of Service" acceptance.
|The value must be entirely alphabetic characters.
|The value may have alpha-numeric characters, as well as dashes and underscores.
|The value must be entirely alpha-numeric characters.
|The value must be entirely alpha-numeric, with underscores but not dashes.
|The value must be a javascript "arguments" object.
|The value must be a valid array object.
|The value must be a base64 encoded value.
|The value must have a size between the given min and max.
|The value must be a javascript boolean.
|The value must contain the value. For a string, it does an "indexOf" check, an array "_.indexOf" and for an object "_.has".
|The value must be a valid date object.
|The given field must be different than the `fieldName` under validation.
|The field must be a valid formatted e-mail address.
|The value under validation must be empty; either an empty string, an empty, array, empty object, or a falsy value.
|The field must have the exact length of "val".
|The value under validation must not be undefined.
|The value under validation must be a finite number.
|The value under validation must be a function.
|The value under validation must be "greater than" the given value.
|The value under validation must be "greater than" or "equal to" the given value.
|The value must have an integer value.
|The value must be formatted as an IPv4 address.
|The value must be formatted as an IPv6 address.
|The value must be "less than" the specified value.
|The value must be "less than" or "equal to" the specified value.
|The given value must pass a basic luhn (credit card) check regular expression.
|The value must exactly match the value of another `fieldName` under validation.
|The value must be less than a maximum value. Strings, numerics, and files are evaluated in the same fashion as the size rule.
|The value must have a length property which is less than or equal to the specified value. Note, this may be used with both arrays and strings.
|The value must have a minimum value. Strings, numerics, and files are evaluated in the same fashion as the size rule.
|The value must have a length property which is greater than or equal to the specified value. Note, this may be used with both arrays and strings.
|The value must be NaN.
|The value must be a natural number (a number greater than or equal to 0).
|The value must be a natural number, greater than or equal to 1.
|The value must be null.
|The value must be a javascript Number.
|The value must have a numeric value.
|The value must pass an _.isObject check.
|The value must be an object literal.
|The value must be a javascript RegExp object.
|The value must be present in the input data.
|The value must be formatted as an URL.
|Passes for a validly formatted UUID.
Conditional Validations
Sometimes you may wish to require a given field conditionally, for example require a field only if another field has a greater value than 100. Or you may need two fields to have a given value only when another field is present. Adding these validation rules doens't have to be a pain. First, create a
Checkit instance with the main rules that never change:
var checkit = firstName: 'required' lastName: 'required' email: 'required' 'email';
Then use the
maybe method to add additional rules:
.maybe(rules, handler)
The first of the
maybe method is the hash of validation fields / settings, similar to the main
Checkit object. The second argument is a function, evaluated with the object being validated, and if it returns explicitly
true or with a promise fulfilling with
true, it will add an additional validator to the
Checkit object.
This method makes building complex conditional validations a snap.
// In this example, the "authorBio" field is only required if there are // more than 5 books specified in the input object checkitmaybeauthorBio: 'required' 'max:500' return inputbooks > 5;;
Advanced & Custom Validators:
First, and simplest, you can specify a function on the validation array for a property. For example:
email: 'email' return knex'accounts'where'email' '=' valthen if resplength > 0 throw 'The email address is already in use.'
You may also specify an object in one of the validator slots, specifying at the minimum a rule, and optionally params, label, and message.
email: rule: 'email' label: 'Email' first_name: rule: 'required' message: 'You must supply a first name value!!' rule: 'minLength:3' label: 'first name of this application' arr: rule: 'contains' params: 10 // Number => Different behavior than "contains:10"
You may also use the
context parameter passed to
run when using a function on the validation array of a property. This can be particularly useful if your validation function needs to execute within a transaction:
email: var query = knex'users'; if context && contexttransacting querytransactingcontexttransacting; return querywhere'email' '=' val andWhere'id' '<>' thistargetid then if resplength > 0 throw 'The email address is already in use.'; ;
Second, you may add a custom validator to the
Checkit.Validators object, returning a boolean value or a promise.
return knextablewherecolumn '=' valthen if resplength > 0 throw 'The ' + table + '.' + column + ' field is already in use.'; ; email: 'email' 'unused:accounts:email'
Checkit Errors
One of the main features of
Checkit is the error handling; By extending the error object with utility methods from underscore, the errors are even easier to work with.
The main Error object,
Checkit.Error is returned from the has several helper methods & properties, as well as a number of utility methods:
The "errors" property of a
Checkit.Error object is a hash of errors for each of the fields which are considered "invalid" in any way by the validation rules. The keys in this hash are the invalid fields, and the values are Checkit.FieldError objects, which in-turn have an
errors attribute, an array containing errors for each failed rule.
get method returns the
Checkit.FieldError object for a specific key, or
if one does not exist.
Useful for debugging, the
toString method converts the
Checkit error into a human readable representation of the failed validation. If the
flat argument is passed as a "truthy" value, it will output only the first
ValidationError in the
FieldError; otherwise it will output each validation message in a comma separated string.
Converts the current error object to a json representation of the error, for easy use/refinement elsewhere. For other methods, such as map, reduce, each, see the utility methods section.
FieldError is an error that contains all of the sub-errors for the validation of an individual item in the validated hash.
errors property of a
FieldError is
ValidationError is the result of an individual error in the field rule.
Error Utility Methods
The following methods are underscore methods proxied to the
Checkit.Error and
Checkit.FieldError objects, for easy manipulation of the
.errors object contained in each.
shared (Checkit.Error & FieldError)
Checkit.Error only
Checkit.FieldError only
Other Helpers
Checkit.labelTransform method takes a function that receives the field name and returns a human-readable label for use in error messages.
Change Log
- Minor bugfixes
- Major internal refactoring, using when.js to shave bytes in the browser build.
- Added sync api with runSync / checkSync / validateSync
- Alias
CheckItis now renamed
- Flipped the
targetarguments, so the syntax is now
Checkit(validations).run(input)rather than
Checkit(input).run(validations), allowing for re-use of the validation objects.
- Tons of other internal changes, probably too many to list, pretty much a rewrite from 0.1.0
Initial release

Best Nostalgic Roller Coaster (2005)
The Cyclone
Amusement-park aficionados who feel pukey when confronted with the theme-park fluff of Six Flags Elitch Gardens should head to Lakeside and settle their stomachs on Colorado's most venerable roller coaster, the Cyclone. But don't expect to experience the gliding G-forces of today's modern steel rides: Built in 1940, the Cyclone clangs and jerks passengers through the dives and crests of the weatherbeaten wooden superstructure, making for some serious air time as thighs strain against the meager restraints and rears slide across the seats. Appropriately, the Cyclone is ranked as one of the few remaining classics by the American Coaster Enthusiasts, a group with over 8,000 active members.

Wideband wireless channel is a time dispersive channel and becomes strongly frequency-selective. However, in most cases, the channel is composed of a few dominant taps and a large part of taps is approximately zero or zero. They are often called sparse multi-path channels (MPC). Conventional linear MPC methods, such as the least squares (LS), do not exploit the sparsity of MPC. In general, accurate sparse MPC estimator can be obtained by solving a LASSO problem even in the presence of noise. In this paper, a novel CS-based sparse MPC method by using Dantzig selector (DS) is introduced. This method exploits a channel's sparsity to reduce the number of training sequence and, hence, increase spectral efficiency when compared to existed methods with computer simulations.

Heritage Bluffs is a Dick Nugent championship design that plays to 7,171 yards, 74.1/138, course/slope ratings from the tips, and three shorter tees. It's located about 45 minutes south of Chicago near the intersection of I-55 and I-80.
The golf course is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, and has good elevation change throughout, part open links style and part parkland, with tree lined fairways. The landing areas off the tee are open and forgiving, the greens receptive in the front, mostly guarded by bunkers or water on the side. Bentgrass from tee to green make for a good consistent lies, the fairways are somewhat rolling, there's water in play on 5 holes, and only 50 sand bunkers on the course, without homes or development along the holes
Very reasonably priced course for the quality it's just such a hike from just about everywhere, otherwise I'd definitely play this course more often. After a fairly routine opener, the course has a good mix of tight wooded holes and open meadow/marsh-type holes. Overall the Bluffs is a fair, strong test, especially from the tips.Conditions excellent, pace of play was 4.5 hours.

JULIA Gillard has seized on a call from big business for a more collaborative attitude to put forward a concrete proposal for a ''consensus'' approach to economic reform.
Last week, Tony Shepherd, president of Australia's main big business organisation, the Business Council of Australia, urged a return to the co-operative spirit on economic reform that marked the ''Accord'' days of the Hawke government.
Ms Gillard has written to Mr Shepherd and the secretary of the ACTU, Dave Oliver, asking them to join her in a national economic reform panel to build consensus for important economic reforms.
She says in the letter that she expects the panel ''will be added to with important contributions from civil society groups''.
''This group will deliver community consensus and concrete outcomes as the government implements the Australia in the Asian Century white paper,'' she writes.
''Hard reform requires co-operation with all aspects of the economy, dedication towards the task of reform and respect that we all seek a common goal - a secure and better future.''
She says that Australia's greatest asset is its people and ''our success depends on ensuring we have the right settings for human capital formation.''
Ms Gillard points out that this is a shared priority of the government, the ACTU and the BCA ''and I want this to be the initial focus of the reform panel''.
The BCA's call for greater co-operation between government, unions and business contrasted with the Australian Industry Group's tough criticism last week of the government for being too pro-union in its industrial relations changes. The industry group called on the government to redress the balance with changes to make workplace relations more flexible. Ms Gillard's invitation to the BCA can be seen in part as something of a wedge for business.
Ms Gillard writes that the government is pursuing a modernising economic agenda, including investments in skills, innovation and clean energy, infrastructure and technology, tax reform and competition and regulatory reforms.
''In delivering on our plan, we have engaged in a collaborative approach through a range of consultative groups and gatherings,'' she writes.
She points to groups on tax, jobs, the digital economy, business tax, the economy, manufacturing deregulation and workplace relations, among others.
Treasurer Wayne Swan on Sunday harked back to the Hawke-Keating years, likening them to today's period of change. ''There will always be those who pretend things don't need to change'', he said in his weekly economic note.
''In reality, the role of government is not to prevent change, but to lead Australians through it. That was something the Hawke and Keating governments understood to their core.''
Today's changes were equal in magnitude to any we had witnessed in Australia's history - the shift in global economic weight from West to East, the ageing of the population, the transition to a clean energy economy and the digital revolution. ''We need to keep managing the changes and bending them to our advantage.''

Louisiana Vote Inquiry Focuses on Gambling and New Orleans Politics
By KEVIN SACK
Published: June 10, 1997
NEW ORLEANS— Given that this is Louisiana, where politics and corruption blend like red beans and rice, few doubt that last year's narrow election of Mary L. Landrieu to the United States Senate may have been something shy of stainless.
The charges that Ms. Landrieu stole the election through a vast and varied pattern of voting fraud initially prompted a collective yawn from Shreveport to Slidell, along with catcalls of ''sore loser'' and ''crybaby'' aimed at her opponent, Louis (Woody) Jenkins.
But seven months later, Mr. Jenkins's dogged pursuit of the case has started to win some adherents, at least among his Republican partisans in Washington. And while Mr. Jenkins is far from proving that Ms. Landrieu won because of fraudulent voting, he has succeeded in focusing scrutiny on two powerful forces in modern Louisiana politics: gambling money and the Democratic machine in inner-city New Orleans.
The essence of Mr. Jenkins's case, which is being investigated by the Senate Rules Committee, is that Louisiana's nascent gambling industry bankrolled dubious efforts by a political organization affiliated with New Orleans's popular young Mayor, Marc H. Morial, a Democrat, to turn out the vote for Ms. Landrieu.
Mr. Jenkins says the gambling companies and Mr. Morial's group, the Louisiana Independent Federation of Electors, or LIFE, may have violated laws that prohibit corporate contributions to Federal candidates.
And if Senate investigators find widespread voting fraud, the Senate could declare the seat vacant and call for a new election, or even vote to seat Mr. Jenkins. The Senate, which has the ultimate authority to seat its own members, has invalidated election results five times in the past because of improprieties.
Since mid-May, Senate investigators have bombarded parish courthouses with subpoenas and have received a commitment of assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Senate officials expect the inquiry to last at least two months, and to cost from $250,000 to $500,000.
Ms. Landrieu, a moderate Democrat, defeated Mr. Jenkins, a conservative Republican, by 5,788 votes out of 1.7 million cast. Since the night of the election, Mr. Jenkins has complained to the Senate that Ms. Landrieu won with the help of vote-buying, multiple voting, fraudulent voter registration and voting machine manipulation -- all, he says, orchestrated by LIFE.
In one of several audiotapes collected by Mr. Jenkins's aides, an unidentified woman complains about not being paid as much as she said she was promised for voting in three different precincts. ''The agreement was, we was supposed to get $25 each place,'' she said. ''All I got was $25, and I don't appreciate it.''
Because Mr. Jenkins's suspicions are directed at LIFE, a predominantly black group, Democrats have taken to criticizing the investigation as a Republican effort to suppress voter participation by black New Orleanians. Those voters have insured that Louisiana, alone among the states, has not elected a Republican to the Senate since Reconstruction.
Mr. Morial, a 39-year-old Democrat and the son of the city's first black Mayor, Ernest N. (Dutch) Morial, said the Republicans were intent on ''damaging one of the last remnants of the old black-white Democratic coalition in the South.''
Ms. Landrieu, 41, the daughter of former Mayor Moon Landrieu, said in an interview that the Republicans' true goal is to ''suppress African-American voters.'' She described the effort as ''veiled racism.''
Mr. Jenkins scoffed at such charges, noting that the losing candidate for district attorney in New Orleans, Morris Reed, a black former judge, has also complained about fraudulent voting. ''It's not about black and white,'' said Mr. Jenkins, a State Representative from Baton Rouge with strong ties to the Christian Coalition. ''It's about green.''
In April, the Senate Rules Committee, under pressure from conservatives, ordered a broad inquiry into Mr. Jenkins's charges. In doing so, the committee, whose chairman is Senator John W. Warner, Republican of Virginia, rejected the recommendation of two lawyers it had hired to analyze the case.
Those lawyers -- one Republican and one Democrat -- had dismissed many of Mr. Jenkins's claims as not meeting the necessary burden of proof, and had suggested a limited inquiry into several other charges. Now it is unclear whether Senate leaders feel they can unseat Ms. Landrieu simply by finding a general pattern of fraud, or whether they must actually find enough tainted votes to have changed the outcome of the election.
''We know there's corruption,'' said Bernie R. Pinsonat, a Baton Rouge pollster. ''What we don't know is if there's 5,788 votes worth.''
Mr. Jenkins has yet to link Ms. Landrieu or her campaign to his allegations. But he has pointed his finger at LIFE, calling it ''a rogue political machine.''
In the years since the Voting Rights Act gave power to blacks in this city, political life in New Orleans has become dominated by a hodgepodge of Democratic clubs.
Known by snappy acronyms like BOLD, SOUL and COUP, the organizations have nurtured aspiring black leaders and provided a point of entry for white candidates seeking support in unfamiliar black neighborhoods. On Election Day, the grass-roots groups show their strength by turning out the vote with bullhorns, door-to-door canvassing and neighborhood parades, where slate cards are passed out like Mardi Gras beads.

Tuscaloosa School Board Challenge May Chart New Legal Waters
EDITOR'S NOTE--- The judge in the case has ruled that Horwitz has met legal requirements and the case can proceed to trial. Pat D.
Tuscaloosa Board of Education incumbent Kelly Horwitz may set new a legal precedence with her formal challenge of the District 4 school board race in Tuscaloosa, assuming she wins her case. Her legal team argued before a Tuscaloosa County judge that 397 votes were illegally cast during the August election. Judge John Carroll is Dean of The Cumberland Law School at Samford University. He says it looks like Horwitz' legal strategy is to get the votes set aside, which may be difficult…
"The questions being raised in this case really have not been answered in any way, shape, or form, by the Alabama Supreme Court," says Carroll. " I think it's difficult to say. There are very, very serious allegations being made about what happened in the Horowitz allegation. But, again, I think basically, you're in uncharted waters."
The vote generated statewide attention when members of University of Alabama fraternities and sororities offered limo rides for student members who wanted to go to the polls. Further, these student groups reportedly offered wrist bands for free alcoholic drinks at a nearby bar. If true, this act could be in violation of an Alabama State law against incentives for votes. Cason Kirby was declared the winner of the race against Horwitz. He told al.com that her charges are unfounded.
"What Horwitz is trying to do is disenfranchise an entire class of student votes based on supposition and not evidence," Kirby told the website. "The irony is that Horwitz has testified that she went to the same sorority and fraternity houses actively seeking votes from the same students she now claims as illegal votes."
Judge Carroll thinks, at least, this case will prompt election officials to take a closer look at the student voter registration process. And as to how the allegations will pan out, that will depend on what evidence she and her legal team can present.
"I don't know what proof she has," says Judge Carroll. "The allegations in the matters that are contained in the papers I've seen filed by her lawyers indicate they have some substantial evidence that, at least in their minds that, the integrity of the process was undermined."
The judge in the case will weigh the evidence and decide whether the case can go forward.

Incorporating Magnetogram Data into Time-Dependent Coronal Field Models By George Fisher, Bill Abbett, Dave Bercik, Jim McTiernan, and Brian Welsch Space Sciences Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley Abstract: We briefly review our efforts to incorporate sequences of photospheric vector magnetograms into MHD simulations of coronal evolution, in an effort to create data-driven models of the coronal magnetic field. Such models should improve our understanding of flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and might eventually lead to predictive capabilities. How can we predict the onset of flares & CMEs? Free magnetic energy stored in electric currents JC in the coronal magnetic field is thought to drive flares & CMEs. Measurements of the (vector) coronal field BC , however, are rare & subject to large uncertainties. Effectively, coronal electric currents cannot be directly measured. Hence, current forecast methods statistically relate other data (e.g., aspects of the photospheric magnetic field BP) to flares/ CMEs. Can the essentially statistical character of current flare & CME forecast methods be improved? In his review article, "Driving major solar flares and eruptions", Schrijver (2009) notes: "Whether deterministic forecasting is in principle possible remains to be seen: to date no reliable such forecasts can be made." What capabilities must be developed before deterministic predictions can be made? Two possible developments might enable deterministic forecasting. (i) An observational signature of imminent eruption could be discovered. But observers have searched long and hard for such a signature, without success. (ii) A time-dependent model of coronal magnetic field that incorporates data could be used to identify magnetic structures prone to flares/ CMEs. Here, we review our efforts to develop such a model. NB: Key aspects of flares and CMEs are "known unknowns" (Rumsfeld 2002). • The magnetic structure of flare- & CME-prone coronal field configurations is unknown. For instance: – Are magnetic nulls essential for flares / CMEs? – Must twisted flux ropes exist prior to eruptions? • What triggers the sudden release of stored free magnetic energy in the corona in flares & CMEs? Data-driven coronal models must first be used for interpretation before we can make predictions! Key components of a time-dependent, data-driven model of the coronal magnetic field BC(x,y,z; t) are: 1. A initial state BC(x,y,z; t0) derived from data. 2. A method to incorporate observed data to drive the model forward for t > t0, such as: – measurements of the photospheric field BP – possibly, coronal EUV or X-ray observations 3. A model that can accurately simulate coronal evolution in response to driving. Step 1. For the initial coronal field BC, we use a non- linear force-free field (NLFFF), with |JC(x,y,z;t0)|≠ 0. • Some jargon: - Force-free field: JC x BC = 0; current JC is parallel to BC - Alpha: coefficient function between JC & BC, JC = αBC - Linear Force-free field: α is constant in space - Non-linear Force-free field: α varies in space - Potential field: α = 0, JC = 0; also called "current-free" Since free energy emerges with active region fields (Leka et al. 1996), a realistic initial state will, in general, include currents: |JC( x, y, z; t0)|≠ 0. We extrapolate NLFFFs via the Optimization Method of Wheatland, Roumeliotis, and Sturrock (2000). The Optimization starts from an ambiguity-resolved vector magnetogram of the photospheric field BP. Ideally, the magnetogram 29 Oct. 2003, 18:46 UT would be recorded in a force-free layer of the solar atmosphere. The solar photosphere is generally not force-free, so extrapolations from the "forced" BP might not represent BC accurately. (The chromospheric magnetogram shown here is approximately force-free.) IVM data from T. Metcalf The initial field for the Optimization Method is a po- tential field extrapolated from the photospheric Bz. AR 10486, 29 Oct. 2003 This image shows field lines from the extrapolated potential field. The input magnetogram need not be flux balanced, but no current flows on flux that leaves the box. Note that these field lines do not appear sheared --- they cross polarity inversion lines (PILs) at nearly right angles --- cf., the next figure! The brighter field lines have stronger Bz at the surface. NLFFF fields resulting from the Optimization Method differ from the (unique) potential field. This image shows field AR 10486, 29 Oct. 2003 lines from the extrapolated NLFFF. Some field lines here do appear sheared --- they do cross PILs at acute angles, and in some cases run nearly parallel to them. Note the helical character of some field lines. Step 2. We use observations of BP(x,y,0; t) for t>t0 to derive time-dependent boundary conditions to evolve BC(x,y,z; t). • Faraday's Law enables estimation the photospheric electric field E(x,y,0; t) from evolution of BP(x,y,0; t). – "Component driving" method exist to estimate E from Bz/t, e.g., ILCT (Welsch et al. 2004), MEF (Longcope 2004) – Here, we describe the "PTD" method "vector driving," i.e., inferring E from evolution of the full magnetic vector B/t • Assuming the resistive component R of the electric field E can be determined from the model's current state, Ohm's Law can be used to determine v: E = -(v x B)/c + R (7) We use a poloidal-toroidal decomposition (PTD) of the vector BP/t to derive E. A divergence-free (solenoidal) vector field can be decomposed via Ý Ý Ý B Jz (8), zˆ ˆ where the overdot represents the partial time derivative. From (8), three scalar potentials can be derived: Ý Ý 2 (9); h z 2Ý Ý 4 Jz h J ˆ Ý z ( h Bh ) (10); c Ý 2 Ý h h Bh (11). z When solving these Poisson equations, care must be taken with boundary conditions! See Fisher et al. ("nearly submitted"). Faraday's Law relates the electric field E related to the PTD scalar potentials, 1 1 Ý Ý 1 2 ˆ (12) ˆ Ý E h h Jz h z c z c c 1 E c h z Ýz EI (13) ݈ J ˆ To derive (13), we have "uncurled" (12), and consequently had to introduce the (unknown) gradient of a scalar potential ψ. Since the electric field arising from ψ is derived from a gradient, it has no curl, and magnetic evolution does not directly constrain ψ – other information must be used! Does it work? Here's a comparison of B/t from the MHD data analyzed by Welsch et al. (2007). Bx/t ANMHD By/t ANMHD Bz/t ANMHD Bx/t derived By/t derived Bz/t derived 15 So the magnetic evolution is reproduced, but how well is E recovered? First, try setting ψ=0: Ex true Ey true Ez true Ex derived Ey derived Ez derived 16 Hence, B/t enables recovery of the curl of E, but recovering E itself requires accurately estimating ψ. We have investigated two approaches to specify ψ: (a) A relaxation algorithm finds ψ consistent with ideal evol- ution, (E-R)B = ψB; but this doesn't fully constrain ψ. (b) A variational method, which can also derive a ψ con- sistent with ideal evolution, as well as Longope's MEF: I 2 2 2 min dxdyW x 2 (E x ) (E y I y ) (E z I ) (14) z Further details (many!) are provided in Fisher et al. (2009) Modeling the photosphere to corona is challenging: time scales are rapid; length scales are short; radiative transfer plays a key role; temperature & density are highly stratified. Computational limitations preclude faithful modeling of all of these processes on active region length scales. Guiding question: What is the simplest algorithm that reasonably approximates the physics of these complex atmospheric layers over a large spatial domain? Goal: To obtain physically meaningful results by solving the MHD conservation equations on a discretized mesh. u 0 t u B 2 BB uu p I Π g t 8 4 B uB Bu B t Currently in RADMHD: e Red --- treated explicitly eu p u B Q 2 Blue --- treated implicitly t 4 Purple --- combination of both In Abbett (2007) we developed a semi-implicit MHD model, RADMHD, that advances the explicit portion of the MHD system (shown above) by means of a third order-accurate CWENO shock capture scheme, and solves the implicit portion of the system via a JFNK technique. Flows from Step 2. are incorporated into the model as a time- dependent force --- i.e., a source term to the momentum equation. First, define the physical contribution to the force as defined by the MHD momentum conservation equation: B2 BB Fphys uu p I g (20) 8 4 Further, define the forces implied by the data: uILCT / MEF Fdata (19) t Then in a single horizontal layer corresponding to the model's photosphere, we recast the MHD momentum equation in the following form: u Fdata 1 Fphys phys|| , (20) F t phot where the parallel and perpendicular subscripts denote the forces parallel or perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field. This seemingly underwhelming simulation result is a preliminary demonstration of feasibility of this approach. t=0s t = 741.6 s AR8210 IVM vector magnetogram timeseries t=0s t = 741.6 s Summary of recent improvements to RADMHD: We have developed and implemented a computationally efficient method of approximating optically thick radiative cooling in our RADMHD quiet Sun models. The treatment improves upon the ad hoc method presented in Abbett (2007), while still retaining the efficiency necessary to allow for large, active region-scale, convection zone-to- corona computational domains. The simulations presented here are preliminary. Time will tell whether the new RT treatment is robust, and whether it can maintain the average superadiabatic stratification necessary to sustain solar-like convective turbulence over the long timescales necessary to study the physics of the convective dynamo. However, the initial results are encouraging, and the simulations continue to progress. Conclusion: Capabilities required for data-driven modeling of the coronal magnetic field are still in development, but progress is being made. 1. We are continuing to develop our techniques for determining an initial state for the coronal magnetic field BC(x,y,z; t). 2. We are investigating innovative methods to specify an electric field, E(x,y,0;t), from the evolution of the photospheric field BP(x,y,z; t), which can be used to drive the coronal model forward in time. 3. We have also developed a rudimentary means of assimilating a time series of vector magnetograms into the active zones of an MHD model in a manner that is stable, and does not over- specify the problem. Acknowledgements: This ongoing work is supported by NASA, through its Heliophysics Theory and Living With a Star TR&T programs, and the National Science Foundation, though its ATM, SHINE, and National Space Weather programs.

Clippers pay tribute in triumph
Clippers capture Vidruk title, honor fallen teammate
Nothing they did — nothing anyone could do — was going to assuage a loss so monumental and so raw.
And so rather than trying, the Kelvin Clippers instead paid quiet tribute in triumph last night.
Having dedicated Friday night's Free Press Bowl to their late classmate, Julia Romanow, the Clippers promptly went out on a frozen field at Canad Inns Stadium and won it too, holding off a late charge by the Grant Park Pirates to capture a 31-28 victory in the final of the Winnipeg High School Football Vidruk Division (AA).
"We're a big family. The team is a family, the school is a family and we just lost one of our family members," said Clippers head coach Jon Romu.
"I think the guys played with a lot emotion, especially at the start of the game, knowing it's not just a football game. Someone's lost their life and life is more important than football. These guys came out and showed they have heart and they wanted to play and they did."
Romanow was the 17-year-old Grade 12 Kelvin student who died Nov. 1 in a car accident on Wellington Crescent when a fellow student who was driving lost control and struck a tree. The driver was charged this week in Romanow's death.
With Romanow's initials emblazoned on their helmets, the Clippers got two first-half touchdowns from running back Avery Sharpe en route to a 28-7 first-half lead and then hung on as the Pirates stormed back in the second half.
A pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns by Grant Park's Michael Ritchott — the first on a punt return, the second a two-yard touchdown run with just 11 seconds remaining — made the final score close, but this night belonged to the Clippers.
"We had her in our hearts in the game. And we truly won that game for her," said Sharpe. "The atmosphere in the school all week — it's been tough. It's good to have something that we've done for Julia in this way."
The victory was also a measure of vindication for a Kelvin program that went winless last season. "I'm proud of the guys who stepped up," said Kelvin quarterback Kristian D'Ignazio. "We were 0-8 last year and now we're on top. It feels so good."

Close to the Lowry Theatre and IWM. Handy for Old Trafford. Short tram journey to Manchester city centre. Secure, cheap parking.
Fabulous interesting building. Our room at the front of the hotel was warm, spacious, very high-ceilinged and had a fireplace. Location is great for Manchester City Centre and there are plenty of coffee shops around if you don't opt for the hotel breakfast.
-Hotel in the city centre very close to the Piccadilly Station -Staff was very very nice and polite - The room wasn't big but enough and you have everything what you need I'll be back in Manchester soon and I will book this hotel again
A nice,clean, modern hotel with easy access to the city centre via the metro system. The rooms are small but clean and functional and are extremely good value for money. The staff were very helpful and it has on site parking for £3.00 although if full there is a long stay car park next door for £5.00 per night. Limited free street parking available although this being Manchester I would be careful where you park it.
Great location close to the shops and bars in Manchester city centre. Friendly staff. Traditional British hotel.

Study: frequent incidents of racism linked to obesity
By BYP @blackyouthproj 2:47 pm March 6, 2014 Does racism make one obese? Researchers at Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Centre think so.
Far too many Black youth continue to be demonized, criminalized and murdered.
Enough is enough!
In response to this intensifying crisis, the Black Youth Project (BYP) has launched "The Pledge."
With "The Pledge," we are asking individuals and organizations to close ranks around black youth and make a commitment to take action and fight with black youth as they confront a relentless crisis. We at the BYP believe that each person can make a difference by doing something!
By taking The Pledge we not only articulate our concern about black youth, but symbolically unite our voices with others who will work to confront this crisis.
If we each take action, whether it is starting a group, signing a petition, or mentoring a young person in your neighborhood, then we all become a part of the solution.
Stand With Black Youth!

Some 'new' TS treasures
I did a little TS shopping yesterday and found several treasures, as usual.
I got 6 of the rose plates for .42c ea. at Good Will. They are Hallmark by Sakura.
The photo frame was orig. $24.99, marked down to $12.98 and I paid $1.69, also GW.
The little cup and saucer holder was .29c.
The 3 blue plastic goblets were .75c ea., both of these finds were at the Humane Society TS.
Now I need to find another blue goblet. One of them had a Walmart price tag on the bottom, so I hope there are enough out there so another will turn up.
I just love the rose plates!!
Candy, great finds! Love all of them. Cute frame and the rose plates are wonderful. The blue goblet looks like glass in the picture. Hope you find another goblet. I've seen these plastic ones at stores but never thought they were worth the prices they want.
What is the brass holder in the picture? Is it for the c & s?
Happy for you and your new treasures.
More of that beautiful pink, love it all. The frame is so cute. Seeing that the rose plates reminded me that the other day at a thrift store I was able to buy a whole set the the Sakura dishes with the stars like yours. I was so excited, they weren't as good a deal as you find though.
Punk, the silver holder is a cup and saucer holder. The original price for the goblet was $1.88, so even at full price it wasn't too expensive.
Jeanne, I have a new granddaughter due August 18, so I'm pretty sure I will find a cute picture to fill that frame!
Marlene, they had a display set up with 2 of those plates at the front of the store and I took them right off of the table and then when I got back to the plate area, there were the rest! Woohoo!! I did take 2 other plates back to replenish their display. I did find 3 of the goblets, I just need a 4th now.
Nana, the thrill of the hunt is one of the reasons I like TS's so much. I never know what I will find, but I always seem to find something.
Frou, so glad you found some of those pretty star plates. They can be used for a lot of different themes.
You found some wonderful things, especially those rose plates! I'd have snatched those beauties up for sure. The blue goblet sure doesn't look plastic.
I can't get over your GW prices. Ours here have gotten rather high the past year, even on half off day, twice a month, it can be hard to find things that cheap. Tho as you said, the thrill of the hunt is the big thing...and scoring a real bargain is icing on the cake.
hugs, Karen
More good finds, of course I love the rose plates the best. The frame is really sweet too, and will be perfect with a picture of the new baby girl. I had found one of the cup/saucer holders and love it--have it in the china cabinet. I agree, the fun of going "treasure shopping" is just in seeing what you can find. I need to get out and hit some of ours since it's been awhile--hope I haven't missed out on allot of good stuff. As Jeanne asked in another post, where are you finding to store all these new goodies you are collecting?
the GW stores here are .49c ea for dishes and glassware. Seniors can get a 15% discount anyday and 25% on Mon. They do have 2 of the 50% Sat/month, but I am usually playing golf then. Some of their other prices can be high, so it just requires careful selection when shopping.
I am so excited about her arrival, so will be a very proud Grandma showing her off!!
I have dishes in cabinets in my sunroom, garage, dining room, and of course, most are in the basement. I do have to keep rearranging to make more room, but I can't help myself when I find dishes for less than 50c ea that are so pretty. In fact, I just got some lovely lavender side plates and matching cream and sugar at GW Mon. so they were .37c ea!
Deal!! Email me a close up picture of what you are seeking as you know I have a network of stores that I shop!
