St. John Fisher College Receives Grant to Support Community-Based Service-Learning Efforts
St. John Fisher College received a $5,000 grant from the Gannett Foundation in partnership with the Democrat and Chronicle Media Group to support the College's Community-Based Service-Learning initiatives.
The funds will support student-led projects and will cover programmatic costs to implement three after-school programs that will benefit at-risk youth from the Rochester City School District. The programs will take place at The Center for Youth After-School Program at James Monroe High School, the YMCA Greater Rochester Monroe Teen City, and the American Red Cross Next Generation Leaders Program.
Fisher students will provide project development support for the programs through research, mentoring, and teaching. The long-term goal is for the students to develop relationships with area youth, and positively engage them through the programs.
According to the Blueprint for Change: School Age Youth, which was published by the United Way of Rochester in 2010, Rochester has the 11th highest child poverty rate among all large American cities. In addition, 37% of Rochester's children aged six to 17 live in poverty, compared with 5% of suburban children. In 2010, the graduation rate for Rochester City high schools was 46%. The United Way developed the Blueprint to evaluate current strategies and assess long-term goals.
"I'm excited that we now have an opportunity to pursue projects that were just in the beginning stages at each of these after-school programs," said Dr. Lynn Donahue, Service-Learning Initiative Program Coordinator, St. John Fisher College. "These funds will allow the College and Fisher students to deepen relationships with programs that we've worked with for a couple of semesters, and will give Fisher students the chance to be leaders and apply what they are learning in new ways. The teens will also benefit by working directly with our students and learning how to lead a project."
James Monroe High School's program, started in 2010, is an academic-based program that also aims to increase the social and emotional health of its students. The funds from this grant will allow Fisher students to conduct research and provide education and program support for a greenhouse project developed by students in the program. The greenhouse was built two years ago, but has been underutilized. Fisher students hope to re-establish and help maintain the existing greenhouse and vegetable garden, with the long-term goal of helping the high school students harvest and sell the crop at the South Wedge Farmers Market. In addition, they will provide support through tutoring and with activities including games and arts and crafts.
The YMCA's asset-building approach to their program helps teens develop the skills they need to become successful through programs that build social, emotional, physical, and leadership skills. The funds will allow Fisher students to support a new Youth Entrepreneurship Program that will provide opportunities to educate and model healthy living, collaborate with community resources, and support leadership development. The youth will take a leadership role in a "business" and fundraiser that will provide healthy snacks to YMCA members. They will name the business and manage all functions from the budgeting and marketing, to the packaging and distribution of their product. Fisher students will be providing research to youth to help them get started, and will provide education on healthy eating habits. Additionally, they will help lead gym and craft activities at the Center during after-school hours.
Lastly, the Fisher students will work on a project with the Red Cross' Next Generation Leaders Program that will help youth establish Red Cross clubs at their schools. The goal is to have the clubs implement service-learning opportunities, including blood drives and fundraisers. The grant will allow Fisher students to support training, where they will lead group meetings with the youth, guiding them with service-learning best practices. They will also provide research and education to support the implementation of the new project.

The Old Field House owners, Linea and Rod and their staff are very gracious, friendly and accomodating. We recently stayed in a beautiful condo unit with a fireplace and jacuzzi. The unit was beautiful and clean. It was also private and very nicely decorated. The price is very reasonable for the accomodations that we had and it is located just a short distance from North Conway in the most ideal location one could imagine. Breakfast was included and it was delicious. The dining area is very clean and quaint with huge skylight windows and a very cozy atmosphere. The coffee is great and there is a big selection of cereals, pastries, muffins, oatmeal, and other breakfast delectables. The best was the waffles that Rod made for each guest upon order. The owners are so nice. They treat their guests as if they are all good friends. Very friendly and comfortable treatment by all.
The staff went out of their way to make sure that we had a relaxing time and also provided us with information on surrounding events. We chose the horse drawn sleigh ride and Linea actually called and made the reservations for us. They also advised us of an eating estabishment that was fantastic. I can't express enough that the Old Field House is in the perfect location for everything fun to do and the owners are very comitted to making sure that their guests are very well taken care of. We will stay here again for sure. You will not be disappointed as long as you enjoy a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff , a great breakfast, and the warmth of the wood stove. It seems also that very nice people choose this country lodge. Good people attract good guests. They feeling is definitely........good karma.
Thank you Rod and Linea for a very relaxing time. T&M Smollett

It seems like someone has put Morgan's pick-up tips to good use. Reid (Matthew Gray Gubler) will get a girlfriend on Criminal Minds' upcoming eighth season, executive producer Erica Messer tells TVGuide.com.
"It's finally happening! He's gonna have a love interest," she says. "It will be a little arc and it's gonna be good."
The lucky lady, who has yet to be cast, will be introduced in Episode 4. "They met because of a love of an author and they're both fans," Messer says. "I would say the idea of her is introduced first and we go from there."
But how will everyone's favorite, socially inept genius fare when it comes to matters of the heart? Not very well, if you ask Gubler. "I don't know much at this point, but I'm dubious about all of this," he says. "Could you imagine Reid dating? I'm curious to see where this goes. He doesn't know how to date!"
Though that may be true, Messer believes it's time to go there with Reid, who shared a pool smooch with actress Lila Archer (guest star Amber Heard), whom he was protecting, way back in Season 1.
"I can promise you this," she says, "It will be like no other relationship on TV."

Stopped at the Souper Jenny in Brookhaven. I ordered Dad's Turkey chili and it was great. It is cold raining day in Atlanta and the chili hit the spot. I also got the bussell spout salad and glad I did. Great prices.

Have been coming for years. Great soups and salads. Wonderful eclectic restaurant with fresh local food. Great staff
Went for the first time this spring when I had a bit of a cold, and ordered the chicken soup! It was so tasty and nourishing. Can't wait to go back. Parking is a drag in Decatur, but try the parking deck right behind it.
Although I have been to Souper Jenny's about a dozen times, today was exceptionally yummy! Brunswick stew and fresh fruit rounded up today's delicious and healthy delights. As one with food allergies (including gluten) I am always impressed with the ease of finding gluten and other allergen-free options each time I visit. Soups and salads vary daily, as do sandwiches...
This place is a gem in Buckhead. With great seasonal flavours and well-paired ingredients, this is a perfect lunch spot. Highly recommended - and dine-in to enjoy the cute homely restaurant atmosphere.
I am not a health nut, but my wife is. She enjoys the food at this restaurant, but I do not. I don't hate the food here, but I do not prefer it. I especially do not enjoy the more traditional soups. For example the chili tastes very average and not remarkable at all. So my recommendation would be to...
I visit the Souper Jenny a few times a month. The menu is made up of a daily rotation of soup, sandwich and salad selections, with soup also available for larger take out orders. Everything is fresh, prepared with a healthy vibe and served on colorful pottery. It's a go to place for the Buckhead crowd, making the atmosphere casual/high...
What better day to eat delicious soup than a rainy, dreary Saturday. The choices were great and the salad options were as well. I had a Thai soup and my daughter had a spinach butter bean soup. We couldn't decide which was better. We both had a delicious avocado/spinach salad. The avocado was a generous amount mixed with delicious spinach,...
Love going to Souper Jenny! Great soups--turkey chili, Senegalese chicken and awesome Turkey with pepper jack and raspberry jam sandwich. Just remember cash or check.
What a magical little cafe' to lunch at with girlfriends! On a sunny Saturday in January we each had the "pick 2" and tried a variety of salads, quiche and sandwiches on the outside deck. My favorite was the quiche of the day with wild mushrooms, spinach and parmesan with a flaky crust! I've heard the Sunday brunch is yummy...

- I'm betting Gillis views Lu's deal as the same. He should know, he offered it.
- What's better? Taking on a short term albatross or having to take on no cap dump at all? If there's a chance _any_ team picks up Luongo on waivers, it will be tried before Komisarek/Connolly are touched.
Lastly, in a league "dominated by cap management", Gillis has been at the forefront of signing his players to efficient contracts. Lu's may be the best of all, especially if they aren't allowing BDCs anymore... It's clear you and I have very different viewpoints on what constitutes and "albatross".
I have a serious question for you about the "value" Lou's contract is. If, note I said if, Bettman gets his way and those "cap friendly" long term deals are now the exact hit for the entire contract regardless of retirement during the phantom years, still a good contract? Espacially if that hit is only to the team that signed the player to the deal, as lets face it there is more then just Lou's out there like that. This is not a shot at Lou, just a serious question about these type of deals.

I am taking a trip over Christmas and will be visiting both Beijing and Hong Kong. I want to do some shopping while I am there, and am not sure where to go.
I am looking to purchase good quality, inexpensive designer clothes, jewelry and accessories. I really want a Canada Goose Coat, Isabel Marant sneakers, and Marni jewelry. I'm coming from NY and want to find stuff that's different from the typical Canal Street knock off fare.
Does anyone have any advice?
Shopping- Beijing or Hong Kong?
17 Replies | Jump to last reply |

Good quality designer clothes that are inexpensive? This is a bit of a contradiction in terms!
Shopping is generally better in HK (in part due to lower taxes). Chinese actually go to HK for shopping for brands. Beijing is one of the most expensive cities in the world to shop (except for a few things)
Report Abuse
Beijing and Hong Kong also have many up and coming designers that are selling great clothes -- stylish and well made -- at prices that are much lower than NY.
Report Abuse
Brand -for-brand, we found prices in Hong Kong to be pretty much exactly the same as in the US.
Report Abuse
It has been many years since you could buy designer items for less in Hong Kong - decades, in fact. And why go all that way to buy western goods? Take a look at some of the local designers in Hong Kong.
Report Abuse
I can't comment on how prices compare to U.S. prices, but all of the women I spoke with in China last month said that they shop in Hong Kong.
Report Abuse
I agree with all of the above. One of the reasons mainland Chinese go to Hong Kong to buy branded goods is because they can be sure they are buying the real thing. There are so many fakes in the PRC, even in high end shops, that one never knows.
But in any event, whenever I am on Canal Street I hear so much Cantonese that I have no doubt where the stuff you see is coming from. I don't think you will find very much different about the knock-offs in the PRC (or Hong Kong if you find them).
You will find all the brands you mention above in both places. However if you want the authentic article, IMO you are better off looking in Hong Kong. It probably will not be any cheaper; but you may, with lots of looking, find it in an outlet. Some suggestions are below.
If you want to buy fake versions of the above, then I would stick with Beijing. Down jackets in particular in winter you should be able to find quite easily.
"Inexpensive good-quality jewelry" is an oxymoron to me. Jewelery is not a good buy in the PRC or Hong Kong, other than cultured Chinese pearls. Or go to the Hong Qiao "pearl" market in Beijing and buy fakes (get them custom strung in colours and lengths you want). You can find some lovely jewelry here in Hong Kong, but I would not say it is especially cheap. I do have a pair of "knock off" Gabriele Sanchez pearl earrings, which cost me US$350 from a reputable jeweler, not sure if this is what you would consider inexpensive. This is a bargain when measured against the US$2700 or so Ms Sanchez charges for them at Barneys.(But given the price of pearls these days, Ms Sanchez - or Barneys - are clearly overcharging by a huge margin.) The jeweler is K. S. Sze & Sons, and they have two outlets on in the Mandarin Hotel. http://www.sze-jewelry.com/index.php/cms/aboutUs. Closed Sundays.
I would agree with the poster above who said that there are lots of somewhat unknown Hong Kong (and PRC) designers with shops. Try the Gough Street area and SOHO above Central, as well as the Bowrington Road Sharp Street area of Causeway Bay (the end near Happy Valley). The World Trade Center in Causeway Bay (the Victoria Park end) has many Japanese boutiques that have items you most likely will not see in the US. Including the wonderful MUJI which I don't think it is NYC (just San Francisco).
Hong Kong Outlets
1. Lane Crawford Warehouse – 25th Floor
Max Mara Outlet 27th Floor
Horizon Plaza
2 Li Wing Street
Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong Island
(near Aberdeen)
This is in a huge warehouse of mostly furniture/antique stores. Lane Crawford is an upscale Hong Kong department store and has a good size discount outlet here. It can be very hit or miss, but bargains are there are designer goods. Max Mara also has an outlet shops here and has a small but good selection, prices are quite good as well, about 1/3 of their retail store prices. You need to take a taxi, will take about 20 minutes from Central and cost about US$20. This is close to the Prada designer outlet at Space (see below), would be about 5 minutes by taxi and cost about US$3. The Max Mara outlet is closed on Mondays.
2. Space
Marina Square East
2nd Floor Commercial Block
South Horizons
Ap Lei Chau, Hong Kong Island
This is the Prada designer outlet for all its lines. You also need to take a taxi, would be about 20 minutes from Central and cost about US$20. They do have a lot of stock. You have to be a bit patient and look.
3. Citygate Outlet Mall
Lantau Island
(near the airport and the Big Buddha)
This is in Tung Chung, near the airport, and is reachable by the subway in about 25 minutes. I don't know that their prices are lower than any outlet malls in the US.
If you want to buy second hand but authentic handbags like Louis Vuitton, Prada, etc, try the Milan Station shops, there are several located in Hong Kong. Take a look at http://www.milanstation.com.hk/b5 for locations, there are several on Hong Kong Island and several on the Kowloon side. As far as I know, these bags are genuine (at least the police don't raid them while they do raid the night markets...) Prices here are only about 20-30%% of the original prices, so still pricey, but a real bargain compared to the original prices. (The bags are sold to the stores by the tai-tais of Hong Kong who would not, literally, be seen dead with last year's bag....) Bargain very hard, don't pay the list price ever, as the list price is close to the brand store price for current models, and you are buying last year's model.

The reason the Chinese want to shop in HK is not a question of fake vs real, there is just a big price differential due to higher taxes in China. In some cases it can be a factor of 2 to 1.
Report Abuse
That's not what I heard JP. We were astonished by the number of Chinese shopping in Hong Kong, particularly for fine jewelry, and we're told by several people that they trust what they buy in Hong Kong, and not what's for sale in China.
Report Abuse
Iwant to buy cultured Chinese pearls,south sea pearls,fresh water pearls & having a difficult time deciding where to buy it. I don't want to come home to find out I bought fakes.
I love the pieces on www.rupeipei.com.cn but their prices are high. I want to shop somewhere the pieces are as stunning as displayed on rupeipei but I want to make sure I shop at a reputable store-would you buy in shanghai or hong kong.
many thanks

One more thing-any suggestions as to reputable jewellers aside from K.S. Sze & sons?
Report Abuse
If you don't want fakes, don't buy in mainland China. Opt for Hong Kong. As above, even many Chinese will only buy jewelry in Hong Kong.
Manila is usually considered the best place to buy pearls at reasonable prices.
Report Abuse
Without a doubt pearls are the best bargain in Manila. So many Fodorites don't visit the Philippines (why escapes me).

I just took a class on selling on eBay. The instructor buys Coach handbags very cheaply at a local outlet store (30% discount coupon at the door, 60% off table at the back). She resells on eBay, and says that many of her purchasers are in Asia. So some of that merchandise you are going to Asia to buy may be available more cheaply at home on eBay.

<<<even many Chinese will only buy jewelry in Hong Kong>>>
When we were in Hong Kong, we were shocked by the number of "fancy" jewelry stores, their hours, and the fact that they were busy, even at midnight on a Friday night (seriously). The answer I got here is that wealthy mainland Chinese people do not trust mainland Chinese goods/dealers so they come to Hong Kong to shop for luxury goods.
Report Abuse
Hong Kongers stopped going to the Phillipines for leisure in 2010, and now Taiwanese wouldn't be going either. Manila is not helping their tourist industry.
Report Abuse
Sadly rkkwan is correct. The Philippines has much to offer but alas they do not invest in their tourist infrastructure as the other neighboring Asian countries. There is far too much corruption. Still there are many things to do and see in and around both Manila and some of the islands.

Another caution about buying anything in Beijing:
Note the kicker at the end - you might want to be careful what you eat in Shanghai.
Off to take a magnifying glass to the silk scarves I bought in 1997.

Did someone forget to give the gardeners their ration of rum? The new Verdant Class Baghlah looks a bit overgrown. There's something unsettling and wild about this new ship, so ye pirates will want to keep a weather eye out for indications of curses and other mischief while we take a tour.

The main deck is covered in wild flowered vines and thick overgrowth, and even the ship's wheel has been replaced by a giant sun flower. The reflecting pond in the main hold is barely visible with all the green overgrowth. Pay close attention as ye wander this ship - ye never know what's hidden among all those plants!

The rabbits say ye may want to give the order to grab a hammer and man the bilge pumps. The aft hold is takin' on water! Did ye notice, the number of rabbits on this ship has multiplied compared to the Verdant Class Sloop. Where be th' swabbies? Perhaps they've gone to the cabin to alert the captain of the excess water in the hold.

Avast, me hearties! There be an ancient curse upon this vessel causing all the crew to be transformed into rabbits! The crew don't seem too upset by this transformation, and even seem content in their current state. They'll gladly give ye a tour through their rabbit warrens and let ye take the wheel for a spin. Who knows what ye'll find down the rabbit hole....

Set a course for a hopping good time and visit yer local shipyard today! The Verdant Class Baghlah will be available through April 30, 2015.

Ye may remember the Eggnog Incidence of 2013 resulting in Yeti pets being squished into tiny boxes by the crazed developers. While the Department o' Mythical Creatures discouraged all pirates from opening Yeti Boxes, they've recently discovered the Yeti don't mind the small boxes at all. In fact, they enjoy the cozy space since it reminds them of their North Pole igloos. The Department has also begrudgingly agreed that awesome-looking Yeti wandering around the island don't have a negative impact on pirate life and add to the atmosphere of most pirate gatherings.

With the recent opening of a portal between the oceans and the North Pole, Yeti have been appearing in more locations and they've embraced the festive holiday season with red, green and ice blue hats. For each $9.99 spent in a single purchase, receive a Yeti Box! Yeti pets are still rare and elusive creatures, so these seasonal boxes also contain Ice Blue Chroma, Yeti dolls and furniture, Holiday Favors, and Ice Blue Trinkets!

A never before seen Kraken — the Frost Kraken has attacked Captain Snowbeard while transporting his cargo of toys, scattering them across the seven seas. Now Captain Snowbeard is distracted from his normal duties, solely focused on one thing — revenge!

Each ocean has been divided into 5 teams, with pirates from the same crew all being placed on the same team.

Full details can be found here.

Daring pirates from the smuggler's guild recently 'acquired' designs for a new sloop. Rumored to have come from secret facilities in the icy northern realm of the Toymakers, the Yuletide Class Sloop is based on the design by player Yoditay of Emerald. The ship is available to order from yer local shipyard for a limited time!

Could this be the ship sailed by the Dread Pirate Santa to deliver gifts to good pirate lads n' lasses? Let's step aboard and take a quick look!

On the main deck ye'll find a treasure trove of goodies awaiting delivery. Merry cannons are found on the ship to protect the bounty from thieves and scoundrels. While he's known as a jolly pirate, the Dread Pirate Santa is sure to give no quarter to anyone who'd stop his seasonal deliveries.

Below deck, there's a space where workers put together last minute gifts and apply those finishing touches. It appears the Toymakers keep their workshops carefully guarded behind a wall of snow. Only those who know the secret steps can enter this space of ribbons and bows.

See where the Dread Pirate Santa gathers with his hearties in the main cabin. The feast is set and the stocking are hung by the chimney with care. Let's warm by the fire and reminisce of yer best pirate exploits of 2014. Somewhere on the ships, there's rumored to be a direct doorway to the north pole. If ye find it, let us know what's on the other side!

Set a course for a jolly time and visit yer local shipyard today! The Yuletide Class Sloop will be available through January 1, 2015.

Definitions are the key, IMHO.Broadband is a term that technically means the quantity or speed of delivery of service. This article has blurred the definition, like most that I have read lately to equate to Internet Access. Let me compare broadband infrastructure to our highway infrastructure in a general sense. I hope to stimulate a discussion among those not in the technology world to understand the possibilities if deployment of broad band infrastructure is done in a smart fashion.(1) From my house I leave my driveway and then get on a street (or road if rural) and then drive on to a county road and possibly onto an Interstate to get to a friends house in the same community but 5 miles a away. (2) On the Information super highway I leave my house on whatever service providers connection and then travel to some unknown place (in state, out of state or out of country) and then travel through the up line provider's network and then back down through my friends service providers network to his house.This is a dramatic description but very close to the truth for every communication packet sent to friends and neighbors. A properly implemented broad band infrastructure would keep local traffic .... local and not send information outside the community unless the destination warranted leaving the community. Besides network efficiency this is also more secure as your data is not shared with the world as it travels around in cyberspace. Since locally infrastructures can carry more data cheaper, it may even foster communication with more of our neighbors. Maybe even that cute girl down the street who would rather meet someone they can see and KNOW than the anonymous person out in the ether.I agree with several of the posters that HOW this broad band infrastructure stimulus money is used will be the key to whether it is money well spent or just creates a marginal effect on the economy. BTW, for those who want to know deploying broad band properly could create a ton of jobs in the local economy where the construction takes place and then keep the jobs there because repairs and installs to a fiber optic based infrastructure can not be done form India, Mexico or anywhere else other than the good ole US of A.
Good grief!The concept of the NII or 'Information Superhighway' was much touted in the States as long ago as 1995. In 2001, I contended that ubiquitous Broadband was the single most influential breakthrough for developing a next generation techno-centric society. Here we are in 2009 still positing the question. It's not that easy to simply roll out Broadband (particularly Fibre) over all of the USA, UK and Mainland Europe etc. Africa and other less developed nations will take even longer. That's principally why it's taken so long- the sheer magnitude of the challenege. More that this, you'd be amazed at the low computer literacy of the USA compared to TV literacy! Broadband alone is not enough– TV must be replaced with computer savviness, and this will take a Herculean reform of education! This is now the right time for a full blown roll-out whatever the costs may be.
Personally I think that the "Broadband for All" aspect of the plan is being somewhat over-hyped in the search for easy headlines.
According to Ofcom, broadband is available to 99% of the UK population, and the vast majority of these locations will be able to get Broadband of at least 2Mb/sec already. So it seems that the announcement really only requires the provision of broadband to the remaining 1% who do not have broadband access now. It doesn't even commit to 2Mb rather it states "We anticipate this consideration will include options up to 2Mb/s." which is what 99% of the population already has.
Quoted broadband speeds are a highly subjective measure with most services are advertised as "Up to" with the real speed falling some way short of that, as well as being variable based on network loading etc. While welcome in filling in the gaps in broadband provision, this hardly seems to herald a new digital Britain, and will have little impact nationally on repositioning the country for the digital age.
There are many suggestions in the document that are both useful and required, but the headline grabbing "Broadband for All" is yet another example of the rehashed announcement and meaningless spin that this government has become known for.
I would just like to add a comment RE: this sentence, "Many stimulus plans appear to be long on promoting broadband and short on saying how it would be used".
I think I qualify as a "grizzled veteran" in this industry having having been in it since the early 60's. At that time there were predictions that computing power would become as ubiquitous as running water, gas, and telephone - in effect another utility. With the Internet that has come to pass, but not in a way that any of us would have predicted in the 60's and 70's. The inventions of TCP/IP protocol, HTTP language, the browser and many other important technologies have pushed, pulled and stretched the definition of data delivery to the home in varied and wonderful ways, but nobody I knew then and now could have predicted any of it in more than general terms. If the government tries to define what should be done with "stimulus" funds, the result will be wasted money. Let the money flow to universities and research labs - ah the good old days of the Bell Research Lab. Then stand back and prepare to be amazed.
The lobbing an extra investments in the broadband, probably is not a so bad idea. Everyone is happy: Customers, because have the access anywhere and anytime, and companies, because the government supports the investment in infrastructure. But the main question has never appeared: how they will use the broadband access ? Today we have only one answer: to connect to the Internet. But Internet is an unsecured, aggressive environment which nobody can regulates technically ! And how do they expect it affects on economy ?
Before starting the copy the US initiatives stop and think why the government has to do these initiatives? Probably, it is not a bad idea to create the new national network with the high-level of on-line services, which could compete with the Internet.

Rope seal on pellet stove door
I have a Quadra Fire Santa Fe pellet stove and the rope seal around the window in the door is badly frayed. I have a new rope seal, but don't know how to remove and replace it. Can anyone help?
In preparation: Make sure you have the proper size and type rope for your stove. Most people buy the wrong type and length the first time. I used to sell gasket kits that came with a pre-cut length of rope and the gasket glue. They had instructions on them too. I am assuming this is the door gasket and not the glass gasket which is different.
#1 Take the door off the stove and place it on a non-scratching stable counter or bench. The door should lift straight up from the hinges. It may require some moving from side to side while pulling up, but it should come off with no major difficulty.
#2 Get a flat-head screwdriver and scrape the old door gasket out. Most of the time it comes out easily. Make sure you get out all of the old cement out of the groove.
#3 Use door gasket glue (not the gasket cement that is widely found-gasket GLUE!)and put a nice bead all around in the door gasket groove but not too much so that it will spill out when the new gasket material gets put in.
#4 Press the new gasket material firmly in the groove. Do not leave any gaps and cut to fit. Do not stretch the rope. Let it fall in place naturally. Wipe away any excess glue.
#5 Let it sit for a day or until dry.
#6 Put the door back on the stove and shut the door.
OK. Now that I reread your post it says the glass gasket. I guess I wasn't reading things right.
#1 Remove the door.
#2 Use a phillips screwdriver or a nut driver (depending on your needs) and gently remove the glass by removing the retainers.
#3 Remove the old gasketing. It should just peel off. Many times they just fall off.
#4 Remove the paper backing and stick the gasketing around the edge of the glass.
#5 Replace all the screws and retainers.
#6 Replace the door and you are done.
If you don't have a sticky tape on the gasket material when you bought it, then you probably don't have the correct one. Glass gasketing materials are different that the door gasketing materials.

Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course Part 2: Money Management "Money Management Secrets --The Ultimate Edge of Winning Traders" By Dave Gagné Author of TradingMasterPlan.com eLesson #2 of 5 in the mini-course... "5 Critical Things You Must Know to Make Money in the Stock Market" Important Notice: Don't Miss a 6-Minute Trading Video at the End of this Lesson Dear Fellow Investor, Welcome to Part 2 of the "Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course", where you'll learn "5 Critical Things You Must Know to Make Money in the Stock Market". Today we've got a really, really powerful concept for increasing your trading profits. We're going to examine, "Money Management Secrets -- The Ultimate Edge of Winning Traders." First Let's Answer The Question, What is Money Management? Money Management is a simple set of rules that tell you when to enter, how much to risk and when to exit a trade. Without these rules you are trading blind. Professional traders have been doing it for years. They know that you can't always be right. So professionals have developed trading rules that they follow without fail. How can you expect to win against professionals with years of experience, resources and solid money management rules; when you can't even decide when and how you will enter a stock? Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course Part 2: Money Management Money management once firmly in place is like a safety net that will save you from disaster. Many people buy a stock in hopes of making a profit, but they become frozen like a deer in the headlights when that trade goes against them. When the stock falls dramatically these people become married to that trade and hold it for long periods of time in hopes that it will someday come back to break-even. Does that sound familiar, has that happened to you? Well, some very simple money management rules would prevent that from ever happening to you again. The sole purpose of money management is to minimize your losses and maximize your winners. This is accomplished by using a variety of simple rules that will show you where to enter, how much risk to take on, how to manage the trade and how to exit the trade. "The Fact is if You Can Be Right Only Half The Time You Can Build Enormous Wealth in The Stock Market!" All you need are some dynamite money management rules and the discipline to follow them. How is that possible you say? Easy its simple mathematics if you only win 50% of the time. But you make 2, 3 or 4 times the amount you lose when you win, you will be extremely successful in the markets. Many successful traders have win ratios between 30% and 50%. They aren't successful because they can predict prices well; they are a success because their profitable trades far exceed their losses. For example if I have ten trades with a 3 to 1 risk to reward ratio and I win only five times out of those ten trades I will still make money. If I make $600 on my winners and limit my losers to $200 I will have five winners' times $600 for a total of $3000 and five losers for a total of $1000 for a total net profit of $2000. That is being wrong half the time! Actually with a ratio like that you could even lose more often than you win and still be profitable. Think about that for a moment! All this time you have been focused on being right and had limited success. All you really need is to focus on money management rules and accept being wrong half the time or more and still make money! Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course Part 2: Money Management "Are You Starting to See the Power of Money Management Yet?" Once you have these rules in place it becomes much easier to trade. Why? Because you simply have to follow the rules and not worry about unknown factors. Company news or analysts on TV can easily influence your trading decisions when you don't have a plan. The reason for this is that you are looking for validation and guidance in your trading. With solid rules in place you let the market decide who is right and wrong not some talking head on the television. You just need the good judgment to follow the rules you have laid out in your plan. Here are the money management rules you need to implement in order to compete with professional traders: Determine your starting trading balance. First you will need to determine your trading account value. This will be your starting trading float and is important so you can determine how much to risk on your trades. Most Professionals agree that risking 2% in any one trade is an acceptable amount to risk. So if you have a trading float of $50,000 you would be risking only a maximum of $1,000 per trade. Determine your STOP LOSS Next, before you enter any trade it is imperative that you determine your STOP LOSS. A stop loss is a price that you use to sell your stock. You admit you were wrong and "throw in the towel" before any major damage can be done to your trading capital. The price point used for your stop loss is a very difficult number to establish. You can use a variety of methods for deciding on this MANDATORY trading rule. One common area to set a stop loss is just below an area of support. Another popular stop loss point is a predetermined number (ie $0.10, or $0.25) below the previous or sometimes the entry day's low. (Of course the reverse would be true if you were short selling. Your stop loss would be somewhere above a resistance point.) Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course Part 2: Money Management Decide on your position size. Most traders take on way too much risk. They buy large numbers of shares expecting a big payoff. What really happens is they have taken on a position that can potentially crush their account! Even with a STOP LOSS in place these large positions can be very damaging. That is why it is important to take trading positions based on the amount of money you're willing to risk. For example, if you have determined that you will risk $1000 on a trade, and you know that your stop loss is $2.00 from the current price. Then you would buy 500 shares of that stock. This ensures that if the price does fall to your STOP LOSS point the most you would lose is the $1,000 you are willing to risk. This is a simple but very effective technique for managing risk! Use a trailing STOP LOSS. The trailing stop is a way of slowly locking in your gains over time. The key to a trailing stop is that you need to continually make adjustments to make sure that the stop is moved in your favor. Once the trailing stop is above your entry price you have effectively locked in a winning trade. As with a regular stop loss, the trailing stop loss can be set and tracked a variety of ways. One common method is to raise your stop loss to a number just below the low of a new high bar. For example, if the stock closed at $50 and had a low of $49 you would raise your stop loss to $0.25 below the low or $48.75. My personal trailing stop method is to use a volatility based trailing stop. The reason why is that this type of stop will measure the average volatility of a stock over a period of time. This volatility would be the average movement of that stock. I would set my stop loss at a point just outside the normal volatility. That way if the price did reach that price it usually means there is some reason for doing so, such as major news or an emotional shift in traders. Trader Secrets™ Mini-Course Part 2: Money Management There, now you have some great money management rules that you can use in your trading right now! Inside Trading Master Plan™ I delve deeper in money management and give you a list of more than twenty-three trading rules that I use in my own trading plan. I also teach you two very powerful trailing stop methods. One for exiting when the price reaches your stop loss, and one for exiting when the price reaches an extremely high level. Just these two rules alone will blast your trading results to a new level.

unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Repository access
Many sites have a link to view the repository such as:
Source code repository http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=cl-semantic
however, I can't find any place that describes how to convert that link into something that can be used to actually check out the source code. I'm very suppressed this hasn't been an issue before.
