January deadlines are nearing for EQIP applications
By MICHELE F. MIHALJEVICH
Indiana Correspondent
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Indiana officials will have more than $26 million to share with farmers who participate in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), according to state conservation officials.
While producers may apply any time to participate in the program, the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) occasionally sets deadlines in order to prioritize requests, officials said. Upcoming application deadlines in Indiana are Jan. 18 and March 15.
EQIP is a voluntary program that offers funding to farmers who agree to implement conservation practices on their land in order to protect natural resources. Eligible practices include nutrient and pasture management, field buffers, cover crops and reduced tillage. EQIP also provides technical assistance.
In fiscal year 2012, Indiana received $17.4 million in funding, though that figure is preliminary, according to Jill Reinhart, acting assistant state conservationist for farm bill programs. In 2011, the state received $19.1 million.
That the Hoosier State will receive increased funding in fiscal year 2013 shows "we have an interest in conservation in Indiana," Reinhart said. "Whatever dollars we're allocated, we put into the ground. One of the questions is, are they able to spend the money they're given? As a state, we've been very successful."
The state NRCS has worked with the Indiana Conservation Partnership, enabling officials to reach more producers, Reinhart noted. One of the top successes in fiscal year 2012 was the adoption of cover crops, she said.
When allocating funds, USDA officials look at several factors, including the number of producers and resource concerns, plus past performance, she said. EQIP was created as a part of the 1996 farm bill and funding was most recently reauthorized in the 2008 farm bill.
Nationally, almost $918 million will be available for the program, she stated. In addition to Indiana, other states in this region have announced deadlines and the amount of funding available for fiscal year 2013: Illinois, Jan. 18, March 15, May 17 (more than $11 million); Iowa, Feb. 15, April 19 (more than $25 million); Kentucky, Jan. 18, April 19 ($12.3 million); Ohio, Jan. 18, Feb. 15 (more than $13 million).
Although deadlines have not been set in Tennessee for 2013, an NRCS spokeswoman urged producers there to apply, as the state will receive more than $16 million for EQIP projects.
Michigan officials set a Jan. 18 deadline, though the state's funding allocation for 2013 had not been finalized. Last year, it received more than $14 million.
EQIP is designed to assist producers and not hinder them, said Adam Heichelbech, Indiana's EQIP specialist. "They're protecting their natural resources and EQIP helps them do that while they're still growing crops," he said.
"EQIP helps our producers financially be able to protect our natural resources," added Reinhart. "It helps alleviate the financial burden. It's a working land program."
Anyone who is an agricultural producer involved with crops or livestock is eligible to apply and there is no income threshold, Heichelbech said. The payment schedule is based on the type of conservation practice involved, Reinhart explained.
Historically, NRCS has paid 75 percent of the cost of various practices, but that may change, as a regional system is now in place to provide more consistency state to state, she noted.
For example, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and Ohio are in the Corn Belt region. Higher incentives are offered to some audiences, such as the socially disadvantaged, new farmers and those with limited resources, she noted.
EQIP also offers funding for four specific initiatives: high tunnels (or hoop houses), air quality, on-farm energy and organic. In addition, money is available under the Mississippi River Basin Healthy Watersheds Initiative.
Interested producers should contact their local USDA service center, Reinhart said.
"Planning comes first," she added. "They'll walk the farm with the landowner and develop a conservation plan. A farmer may think a buffer strip is a good idea, but (USDA) may offer suggestions on other practices that may help too."

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is a squad-based shooter set in the XCOM universe
If you're an XCOM fan, your years of waiting for a shooter set in the wonderful world of post-extra-terrestrial-invasion-Earth are over. That's the only absolute positive, however. On the flipside, you were (most likely) spoiled by last year's XCOM: Enemy Unknown from Firaxis and 2K Games, which is arguably one of the best turn-based strategy games ever made, and a wonderful reboot of, and spiritual successor to the classic. Therefore, the latest squad-based shooter, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified will have one of two effects on you. One, you'll see it for what it is — a shameless attempt at milking the franchise for what it's worth, piggybacking on the success of last year's game. Or, alternatively, just the game you were promised and have been waiting for all these years — a shooter that stays true to the franchise, incorporating all the best elements you know and love, all the while satiating that itchy trigger finger you've kept tucked away.
But which is it? Let's go over what developers 2K Marin have done to make things interesting. First, they got rid of XCOM's near-future setting, opting instead to explore the XCOM initiative's origins during the Cold War, because, the Cold War just comes packaged with free mystery, conspiracy theories and awesome hats. So, in The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, you play the role of William Carter, a CIA agent, whose mission requires him to deliver a special package to Myron Faulke, the Director of the Bureau of Strategic Emergency Command, a division of the government set up to guard against invasion from the Soviets (who, it must be pointed out, really get their thunder stolen). Of course, when all hell breaks loose, the division is rechristened "XCOM" and begins handling matters of an extra-terrestrial nature.
Going back to our protagonist, Carter, who is now ambushed and loses his package, but is expectedly curious about everything that's going on after having to fight his way through a minor alien invasion, first on his own (with you, the player given full control in third person), and then with squad mates who can be given orders. This is where the second interesting addition from the developers comes in: squad control delivered via the "Battle Focus" mode. Combat slows down to a crawl where you will be able to give orders to your squad members — activate special abilities and buffs or simply move to a strategically advantageous position on the battlefield. Additionally, you will be able to use your abilities as well, but unlike XCOM: Enemy Unknown, combat is not turn-based, so you can still get killed if you or your squad are not hunkered down while Combat Focus is active. There's a character progression system in place as well — score kills and earn XP by completing missions, and unlock class-specific abilities (support, scout, commando and engineer). You will also be able to send recruits on their own missions so that they can level up, ensuring their survival in the game's core missions.
Weapons are not dissimilar to those in Enemy Unknown either — you'll start off with Cold War era gear such as the M14 rifle and pump-action shotgun, subsequently graduating to scavenged alien hardware like the Laser SMG. The other preserved signature element (although a part of this is determined by your chosen level of difficulty) is that your squad members remain dead after missions — how you deal with this is up to you, but if you're a true fan, you'll mutter a prayer and move on.
So, let's sum up by breaking down the parts. The setting and conspiracy-laden plot twists are a definite positive, as is the combat. The squad command system, while not perfect, gets the job done if you're able to overcome the slightly unintuitive interface. It's decent from a graphics standpoint, with new character models and facial animation adding much-needed believability to the over-the-top setting. And quite significantly, the game remains available at the now-forgotten standard prices of Rs. 999 (PC) and Rs. 2499 (PS3 and Xbox 360). You should probably get this if you're a fan of XCOM, squad-based shooters, or hats from the 1960s.

Detroit chief vows to find gang member who issued death threat
The death threat against Detroit Police Chief James Craig was made through social media by a gang member who is likely part of a criminal narcotic network
By Marlon A. Walker
Detroit Free Press
DETROIT — The death threat against Detroit Police Chief James Craig was made through social media by a gang member who is likely part of a criminal narcotic network, Craig said Sunday.
"We need to clap him out," Craig said the man wrote, which is slang for shooting someone to death.
During a news conference to address the matter, Craig said the threat will not deter the work that has been done to curtail crime in the city, which includes an average of 35 weekly raids on confirmed drug dens.
He said criminals are not happy with him because of the raids that have taken place in Detroit since his arrival last summer. Shutting down drug dealers shuts down revenue streams for some of these groups, he said.
On Sunday, Craig issued a warning to the man who made the threat on his life:
"We will find you," Craig said, "and we're going to dismantle your criminal enterprise."
Craig said his department became aware of the threat Friday. He gave few details on the threat's origin, only saying it came in through social media and others were commenting on it. The others who supported the message also were being sought, Craig said.
"No way will we back off," he said. "You don't get to threaten a police chief. You threaten a police chief, you threaten every member of that police department. You threaten a police chief, and you threaten every member of our community. That's not acceptable.
"This reiterates that we're doing the right thing."
The FBI is investigating the threat. Craig said officials from the Michigan Attorney's Office, the Michigan State Police and the Detroit Crime Commission also were assisting efforts to uncover the criminal network behind the threat.
"We're going to dismantle this narcotic network," he said, adding that the effort "will extend beyond the borders of the city of Detroit."

Welcome readers and listeners! This is The Common Contributor Podcast from The Common magazine. Every other month, we invite our contributors to read and discuss each other's work. This month, we discuss two essays from Issue 06: "Well-Armed" by Rowan Moore Gerety and "Geology Primer (Fogo, Cape Verde)" by Eleanor Stanford.
Troy, Michigan by Wendy S. Walters & Don't Go Back to Sleep by Timothy Liu
J. Mae Barizo reviews two poetry collections: Troy, Michigan by Wendy S. Walters and Don't Go Back to Sleep by Timothy Liu.
Wendy S. Walter's Troy, Michigan chronicles municipal and personal history in this elliptically elegant collection of sonnets. This book swivels gracefully through eras in the city of the title, alluding to its mythic namesake while divulging the narrator's observations on industry, race, and the tug of the natural world.
It's Thanksgiving Day across the Atlantic in Massachusetts, where I live. There, among my American family and friends, it's a quiet, contemplative day, but here in the Chiado, the heart of downtown Lisbon and the city's oldest shopping district, everything is bustling, as if the Portuguese are scurrying to get a one-day head start on Black Friday. It's a raw, drizzly day, a sign of winter's approach, and the cobbled sidewalks are slippery. I've walked these hilly streets for 35-plus years, often darting from one bookstore to the next—new, used, rare—flipping through the pages of everything from current bestsellers, to obscure dime-store colonial-era comics, to rare folios of brightly-colored, highly inaccurate antique maps. That's what I'm doing today, I'm book shopping.
Richie Hofmann reads his poem, "The Harbor," from Issue 07.
We are standing in front of Mark Rothko's Black, Red Over Black on Red at the Centre Pompidou.
"I love Rothko," says my companion. "I am not crazy about modern American art, but Rothko is different." A painter himself, my companion is a talkative man behind whose frail body and white hair is an energetic, sometimes erratic mind. "Look," he says, as he moves closer to the painting, the guard keeping a polite watch over us. "The way he has layered the painting—as if he were breathing it."

Relative to what? Relative to itself, it hasn't traveled at all. And since we don't know the mechanism for time travel, there's no reason to use any other reference frame. Really, until we understand how they are supposed to travel through time we can't discuss the interactions of reference frames across time skips.

Can you image how annoying it would be to have light flickering around you all the time from your communicating devices? One of the primary advantages of the various bands we use (radio, infrared, etc.) is that they don't interfere with our normal operations: they're invisible.
We've got plenty of bandwidth that doesn't interact directly with the human body. Why don't we stick to that instead of trying to use something that does?

Koryu-ji : Michelin's recommendations
Dating back to 1165, Koryu-ji's kodo (sermon hall) is one of the oldest structures in Kyoto. Inside it is a statue (9C) of the Buddha Amida, the Buddha of the Pure Land. Behind the kodo is the taishido, dedicated to Prince Shotoku Taishi (574-622), who spread Buddhist teachings in Japan. Shotoku Taishi is said to have given to the founder of Koryu-ji the beautiful Miroku Bosatsu (7C), a delicately sculpted, red-pine statue of the Buddha, which exudes a contagious sense of serenity and has been on display in the Treasure Room ever since.

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Authorities in Amsterdam warned Friday that potentially lethal white heroin is being sold as cocaine in the city after three Danish tourists became ill this week.
Three people died and 17 became seriously ill with breathing problems late last year after inhaling heroin in Amsterdam, a city whose reputation as a center of free-wheeling drug culture draws tourists from around the world.
City officials said that a major public awareness campaign linked to those earlier cases will be resumed.
The campaign, which targets tourists, involves large signs around the city warning in flashing lights that "Extremely dangerous cocaine is sold to tourists" in the area, as well as posters and flyers in bars, pot-selling cafes and hotels.
Police launched a major investigation into the heroin sales last year, but never arrested a suspect. A 15,000 euro ($17,000) reward for information leading to the arrest of the dealer selling the drugs is still available, authorities said.
Police are investigating whether the heroin sold to the Danish tourists came from the same batch that caused deaths and injuries last year.

Celebrities from Broadway to Hollywood are nearly unanimously in agreement with Steven Spielberg's belief that Robin Williams was a "comic genius."
There is widespread admiration and shock at Williams' apparent suicide at age 63.
Spielberg says Williams was "a lightning storm of comic genius" sustained by the thunder of laughter.
Funny man Steve Martin praised the Oscar-winner's "great talent" but also said he was a "genuine soul." Chevy Chase, who acknowledged that he too suffers from depression, called Williams "a wonderful/man boy."
Former talk show host and comedian Jay Leno says word of Williams' death made it "a very sad day."

We like coffee, and we like cold brewed coffee, and we really, really like this cold brewed coffee syrup. This all-natural thick coffee syrup is hand-roasted in small batches, cold-brewed and simmered with natural cane sugar. It's extremely sweet and intensely coffee-flavored. Just like cold brew, you don't taste any trace of bitterness. Dave's makes an original flavor (just coffee!) and a mocha flavor with a touch of cocoa powder -- you'll get one of each.
We usually drizzle it over ice cream or blend it with milk (coffee syrup and milk is the official state drink of Rhode Island!). You can also bake with it -- we add it to coffee cake and muffin batter.
Sourced from: Dave's Coffee
Refrigerate after opening.

No automatic outs among this group of pitchers
Originally Published: May 7, 2008By Jerry Crasnick | ESPN.com
In the quest to determine what it takes to be a good-hitting pitcher, we figured we'd glean some insight from an extremely bad-hitting pitcher. Luckily for us, Phillies broadcaster Larry Andersen had a few moments to kill before heading into the booth during the team's recent homestand.Andersen spent 17 years in the major leagues as a relief pitcher, but he was so lame with a bat that he once squared off against the .088-hitting Jim Deshaies in a Jayson Stark-conceived, computer-simulated hitting contest -- and lost. On the one hand, Andersen admits that he had only five hits in 12 National League seasons. By his calculations, that 5-for-12 equates to a .417 average. (In actuality, he went 5-for-38.) "The secret is not being scared," Andersen said. "They wouldn't allow me to take a dog to the plate with me. Otherwise I would have gone up there with a big German Shepherd." In reality, there are a lot more overmatched Aaron Harangs, Ian Snells, Ben Sheetses and Tom (.044) Gorzelannys out there than pitchers with a clue, which is why those hurlers with a discerning eye, some pop and hand-eye coordination tend to stand out in the crowd. In this week's installment of "Starting 9," we pay tribute to the best-hitting pitchers in baseball -- guys who step to the plate looking to inflict damage while their brethren are experiencing fear. We're calling it our "Babe Who?" edition.
Micah Owings, DiamondbacksAfter watching Mets left-hander Pedro Feliciano throw two fastballs off the outside corner to Owings on Sunday, Diamondbacks broadcaster Mark Grace observed, "I've never seen a pitcher get pitched as carefully as Micah Owings does. He gets pitched like Gary Sheffield in his heyday." If you have an instinct for self-preservation, why challenge him? Owings recently made a pinch-hit appearance against Padres starter Randy Wolf, no slouch himself with a bat. Wolf threw a 67-mph changeup, a fastball and two curveballs before inducing Owings to swing at a 91-mph fastball for strike three.

Carlos Zambrano, CubsZambrano hit his 13th career home run last week to tie Ferguson Jenkins' record for a Cubs pitcher. He won a National League Silver Slugger Award two years ago with six long balls, the most by a pitcher since Mike Hampton belted seven for Colorado in 2001. Phillies broadcaster Gary Matthews, the Cubs' hitting coach in 2003 and 2004, recalls how Zambrano loved to sit on the breaking ball, find one that suited him, then tee off. Zambrano's personal motto was, "If they hang 'em, somebody's gotta bang 'em." "He always wanted to come out for extra hitting," Matthews said. "He thinks he's a regular player." Zambrano isn't just a big lug at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds. He played soccer growing up in Venezuela, and he's shown some moves while taking part in scrimmages with Major League Soccer's Chicago Fire. "Obviously he's a good boxer, too," said Matthews, in reference to Zambrano's 2007 dugout slugfest with Michael Barrett.
Livan Hernandez, TwinsIt's a form of sport to poke fun at Hernandez for his girth. But like David Wells, he's a natural athlete who just happens to be heavy. An American League scout recently glanced down at the infield during pregame warm-ups and saw Hernandez taking ground balls at short, and was bowled over by his agility. "He looks like he could play middle infield in the big leagues," the scout said. "He's so limber and has those natural actions." The Baseball-reference.com Web site cites Rick Rhoden, Don Robinson, Bill Swift and Early Wynn among Hernandez's closest hitting comparables. Hernandez won a Silver Slugger Award in 2004, and he's surpassed 20 hits in a season four times. He hasn't forgotten the lessons he learned as a teenage third baseman in his native Cuba. "Not too many pitchers swing down on the ball," Tony Perez, Hall of Famer and fellow Cuba native, said of Hernandez in 2001. "They're trying to lift the ball all the time. That's why they're not good hitters. But Livan swings down. He's got a short swing, and he likes to hit." After signing a one-year, $5 million deal with Minnesota, Hernandez will have to settle for being the best-hitting pitcher in the American League. That's sort of like being the most talented surfer in Nebraska.
Dontrelle Willis, TigersWillis was a two-way ballplayer at Alameda (Calif.) Encinal High, the school that produced Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins. While he was taking aim at the outfield fence at Willie Stargell Field, opponents made a habit of walking him or shifting three infielders to the right side. More than any pitcher on this list, Willis looks like a threat as he stands in the box and loads up on his back foot. In pinch-hit appearances with the Marlins, Willis came off the bench ready to attack the first hittable fastball that came his way. In 2005, then-Marlins manager Jack McKeon batted Willis No. 7 in the order. He became the first pitcher to hit seventh since Montreal's Steve Renko in 1973. "He's a guy who drives the ball," said a scout. "He can get you a double or a triple as opposed to just chinking one in. He's very aggressive." Willis is also aggressive on the bases, and the switch from the National League to the American figured to be a boon to his health. Naturally, he slipped on the mound in his second start, injured his knee and has yet to return.
Brandon Backe, AstrosMicah Owings isn't the only pitcher who's been making noise in the batter's box. In his most recent start, Backe drove a Manny Parra curveball into the Crawford Boxes to jump-start the Houston offense in a 6-2 victory over Milwaukee. Backe amassed a .770 slugging percentage and all sorts of slow-pitch softball numbers as a third string All-America at Galveston College in Texas in 1998. Tampa Bay selected him as a second baseman in the 18th round of the draft, and Backe had his moments in the low minor leagues before his inability to distinguish fastballs from changeups prompted the Rays to convert him to a pitcher. After hitting his first career homer with Houston in 2004, Backe told reporters, "It was my big dream to be a hitter in the big leagues. I never thought I'd be a pitcher." Backe's career as a pitcher has been stalled by injuries, and he has yet to surpass 150 innings in a season. But he's a .245 career hitter in 98 at-bats and a threat each time he steps in the box.
Adam Wainwright, CardinalsSt. Louis has a long-standing tradition of good-hitting pitchers, from Dizzy Dean and Bob Gibson to Bob Forsch, Omar Olivares and Woody Williams. Wainwright's 87 career at-bats make for a small sample size, but he definitely knows what he's doing. Bernie Miklasz and Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently combed through the records and found that Wainwright's career slugging percentage (now .471) was easily the highest by a Cardinals pitcher with 50 at-bats or more. How good is Wainwright? St. Louis manager Tony La Russa called on him five times as a pinch hitter last season, and Wainwright delivered three singles for a .600 average. Wainwright grew up in Georgia watching Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz pitch for the Braves, then spent his first four professional seasons in the Atlanta organization, so he was schooled in the organizational philosophy of doing the little things necessary to win games. He led the Cardinals with nine sacrifice bunts in 2007.
Tim Hudson, BravesAfter going to Atlanta from Oakland by trade in 2004, Hudson hit a feeble .117 (15-for-128) in his first two seasons with the Braves. All Hudson needed, it turns out, was some time to shed the rust he accumulated in six years of sitting in favor of a DH. Hudson tied Zambrano for most hits by a pitcher with 20 last season, and showed flashes of the all-around player who wowed them at Auburn University in the mid-1990s. In his senior year with the Tigers, Hudson posted a 15-2 record as a pitcher and hit .396 with 18 homers and 95 RBIs as a center fielder to win the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year award. Hudson is only 1-for-10 this season, but he dazzled onlookers in Washington by hitting several balls over the fence during a recent round of batting practice at the new Nationals Park. "It goes straight to being athletic," said a scout. "He can field his position, get a timely hit or lay down a bunt against a real tough pitcher. He's a baseball player."
Jason Marquis, CubsMarquis channels his hypercompetitive approach into both his pitching and his hitting. He peaked with 27 hits and a Silver Slugger Award with St. Louis in 2005, at which point his batting average proceeded to drop and his yearly ERA began to rise. Marquis can run the bases as well as hit, and both Tony La Russa and Lou Piniella have employed him as a pinch runner. He counts 24 doubles, two triples and three homers among his 81 career hits. "He uses the whole field, and he understands what hitting is about," said a National League scout. "He takes a pretty good hack."
Jake Peavy, PadresPeavy sneaks onto our list because of his pronounced improvement at the plate. In his first full season as a starter, he managed four hits in 55 at-bats and looked as if he didn't know which end of the Louisville Slugger to hold. Last year, he ranked fourth among pitchers with 17 hits. "He's notorious for having terrible eyesight, yet he barrels everything up," said Padres pitcher Chris Young. "I don't know how he does it." At heart, Peavy is just an Alabama country kid who just loves to compete. He can run a lick, is tireless in the weight room and, according to Young, hits the ball long and straight off the tee and has a delicate touch around the greens on the golf course. Peavy's two career homers came in 2006, off Philadelphia's Scott Mathieson and his good buddy, the Dodgers' Brad Penny. Does he remind Penny of the home run when they see each other? "Absolutely," Peavy said.
Honorable mentionMike Hampton, Braves: Those five Silver Slugger awards are impressive, but it's hard to rank him among the elite when he hasn't had a major league at-bat since 2005. Jason Jennings, Rangers: He might have topped this list in 2004. Then he hit .127 (16-for-126) over a three-year span and moved to the American League with Texas. Kip Wells, Rockies: Just ask Odalis Perez if Wells can hit. On April 25, 2003, Wells hit a Perez fastball an estimated 457 feet off the center field batter's eye at PNC Park.

Yakuza: Dead Souls
Minor complaints
I really wish they gave us an option to adjust the control scheme to our liking. The camera on the right analog stick is making me irritated since it doesn't control so well. Other than that, as much as I love Akiyama I think Tanimura should of been in this game instead of him from Yakuza 4.
http://thejapanesepage.com <--- "Best place to Learn Japanese Online for Free"
Pretty much sums ups my thoughts of this entry in the Yakuza/Ryu ga Gotoku series.
http://thejapanesepage.com <--- "Best place to Learn Japanese Online for Free"
well at least you can change the shooting scheme
I think once you try to play it like Resident Evil 5, it comes off a lot better.
I sort of enjoy pressing L2 to auto lock and get some headshots.
Also, Tanimura isn't in it because he's the likeness of Narimiya. For this installment, we've got Kuriyama Chiaki.
Complaining about the control scheme is okay but adapting to certain situations requires skills and patience which neither the TC has, literally you cry over spilt milk.
The guy who made that video has absolutely no idea what the plot of the game is... It's painful to listen to him try to make comments on the plot of the game when he clearly has no idea what he's talking about and makes up some stuff instead.
As far as choosing your own control scheme goes... I haven't played any games that really allow you to do that in a while...
Btw, you can invert the camera control scheme.
Serously, how can it be catered to your "Control Liking" when it will be akward to my preference? Please elaborate further..

Safety question, gas cooktop
We have a dual fuel, double oven ge profile freestanding range. We have had it about 5 years.
The gas cooktop has no pilot but electric igniters. If you turn the knob quickly it does not ignite but does let gas flow. There doesnt appear to be any kind of safety mechanism. Today we found the back burner hissing but not lit. We have no idea how long this had been going on, if the dog jumped on the stove or we somehow turned it on unknowingly.
A man who came to the house recentlynto repair a dishwasher checked with 'the engineer' who said, its working correctly, that is just an on/off switch on the cooktop on that model.
Is this working correctly, ie nomsafety mechanism to make sure burner is lit. Do the newer gas cooktops work the same way, ie no safety mechanism?
Also, on today's models, is the clicky sound the only safety feature? I dont think the dog or a small child would know how to interpret and deal with that. I cannot believe with all the safety concerns we have that we have gne backwards with gas ranges.
My grandmother has a Whirlpool gas range bought less than two months ago. It functions as per myrtle_59's reference ... the burner ignitors spark ONLY at the designated position on the dial. Turn past it too quick, the gas stays on, no sparking. Truthfully, I haven't tried lighting a burner then trying to blow the flame out to see if it re-ignites. I have turned the control too quickly past the spark point and there was a strong gas odor with no sparking, although I didn't leave it that way for more than a couple seconds so I also can't honestly say if it would have eventually started sparking.
A second, less common safety mechanism turns the gas off entirely if a thermocouple senses it's become too cool even though the controls are set for the gas flame to be on, and thus the flame must have gone out. This is safer since if the clicking spark plug fails to reignite the flame, it will still pour unburned gas into your home. But if you hear hissing but no flame, something is wrong.
Myrtle's stove is functioning as designed. I recently replaced a decade-old GE dual-fuel stove (J2B900 series). It operated exactly as Myrtle described.
Some gas ranges come with a re-ignitor but many do not.
Re-ignitors tend to be features of more expensive stoves like DCS (which Weissman has), NXR (which I have), Wolf, etc.
Generally on stoves such as yours (and mine as well) you can't just turn the knob, you have to first depress it in order to turn it. I think that's considered the safety mechanism with young children. Also, presumably you're somewhere nearby if a young child is near the stove - it's actually more dangerous to the child in the short term if the burner actually lights than if it just spews out gas.

Slain Toddler's Mom Pleads Guilty To Charges
The mother of a 1-year-old Maryland boy found dead in central Ohio has pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence.
Ohio State University Police have ramped up their presence on campus after another online threat surfaced Sunday night. WOSU reports students are going about daily routines with little worry.
For the second time in less than a week, OSU cafeterias are the target of violent threats such as explosions or shootings. So far, neither threat has been carried out.
OSU Police Deputy Chief Richard Mormon said they're trying to confirm whether the threats, which were posted on an Internet chat site, are related.
"We can't say without a doubt they are the same person," Mormon said. "But they are very similar in nature, and the threats are very similar.â€
The threats have not hindered students from eating at campus restaurants, including Ohio Union Market.
Senior Abby Evans and freshman Adrienne Hennessy lunch together between their classes. Neither woman said they're very concerned.
"Since it happened last week and nothing seemed to go on, and so this second one, I'm kind of like, well, I think we'll be OK," Evans said.
Hennessy added, "I like the fact that they have police cars all over the place. It means that, you know, we're guarded. We're safe.â€
Around the corner, Junior David Walker peers out the window toward construction near the South Oval while he eats lunch. Walker sayid he thinks University Police have taken adequate precaution.
"They said it was just a chat room. I think if they felt like if it was worse than what it was they would have closed [campus]," Walker said.
Graduate student Jillian Baer, who said she has taken several courses on threat assessment, also said she doesn't think the threats are significant, so Baer decided not to cancel a meeting and lunch plans at the Union Monday afternoon.
"Not to sound naïve or overly optimistic, but if somebody really wanted to do harm on a campus or to other students, they're not going to publically explain that.â€

Girl [Maladjusted]
True Stories from a Semi-Celebrity Childhood
By Molly Jong-Fast
(Villard, Paperback, 9780812970746, 208pp.)
Publication Date: January 10, 2006
Shop Local
Enter your zip code below to find indies closest to you.
Molly Jong-Fast grew up in a town house with a pink door and paintings of ladies playing naked Twister. There were world-famous therapists living in her cellar, a secretary with a brain tumor, a nanny who was a numbers runner, and grandparents who revealed that they had sex on their first date.
Leading therapists agree: a normal childhood.
In Girl [Maladjusted], Molly Jong-Fast takes us on a tour of her big fat Jewish bohemian upbringing. With the same keen insight, effortless cool, and buoyant wit that won her legions of devoted readers in Normal Girl, she offers a riotous and affecting coming-of-age story that is both uniquely weird and weirdly universal.
Molly Jong-Fast is the author of Normal Girl, Girl, Maladjusted, and The Social Climber's Handbook. She has written for many newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Harpers Bazaar, W Magazine, Cosmo, The Times (UK), and Marie Claire. She lives in Manhattan. She is married to a recovering academic. They have three very small children, all of whom like to talk to her when she is on the phone.
"Jong-Fast has an unusually wry sense of humor. . . . Her life so far has, in fact, been curiously full of nutty episodes [and] colorful characters."
–The New York Sun
"A funny, sly, affectionate, nutty, beyond-irreverent tale of celebrity dysfunction and down-to-earth truths."
–Daphne Merkin, author of Enchantment and Dreaming of Hitler
"Molly Jong-Fast proves that it's never too late to have someone else's happy childhood. Molly is a smart, wickedly funny absurdity magnet. (Or is that absurdity magnate?) Run, don't walk to smell this new book, laugh out loud, and be swept up in a very specific Tasmanian devil-esque kind of madness."
–Moon Unit Zappa, author of America the Beautiful

Love the design and features
By ray77
from Monroe, LA, United States
My wife and I are very pleased with the overall capacity of the product. The drawers are so spacious. When we were looking for a new product the ice maker in the door was a great plus. We can easily remove when we need large amounts of ice. We also like the electronic adjustments we can make to the panel on the freezer door. When our other GE products expire we will replace with other Kitchenaid products.
Good unit
By Debster

Bottom drawers limited access. Very good otherwise.
Worst refrigerator we have ever purchased
By poed
from Undisclosed
In our opinion this refrigerator is cheaply constructed, especially for the price. Our icemaker has stopped making ice four times in two years. The hinges on the bottom of the door (plastic) have broken and the door will not close on its own. The silver metallic material on the inside comes off ( this is on the drawers and shelves) The drawers do not open all the way to get out your vegetables, meats, etc and even the fronts of these drawers have come off.

Very Pleased
By fancynancy

Looked at many companies and designs and kitchenaid was our choice and fits our needs.
By Elliekins
from Millersville, MD, United States
We've had quite a few problems with this refrigerator ever since we bought it, and the problems have continued through the sixth service call, which is scheduled for next week. The ironic thing is that now that it's out of warranty they are asking me to buy an extended warranty, even though the original problems keep recurring. The clips that hold the ice maker to the freezer door are designed too small, causing the ice maker to pull away from the door, and subsequently bang into the refrigerator wall every time it is closed. The ice maker stopped dispensing ice pretty soon after we bought it. Having to reach into the freezer for ice, causes the ice to melt since the door is opened frequently, and we have to empty the reservoir weekly because it turns into one giant lump of ice. Even on the "max ice" setting the ice is made at a very slow rate. The ice cubes are so small they melt rapidly in drinks, and there is no setting to make them bigger. The electronics are inaccurate, and even when we recalibrate them, they eventually revert back to inaccuracy, rendering them useless. To get the water to dispense you have to push very hard on the pad. So hard, in fact, that some guests tell me it doesn't work. The water dispenser, which we were told dispenses chilled water, only does so for the first 8 ounces - then it's room temperature. If you're pouring more than 8 ounces you must wait another 5 minutes for your next cup to chill. We got rid of our water cooler thinking the filtered, chilled water would be a good replacement, but it trickles out slowly, and it's not cold. The settings for moisture are not working properly, causing mildew to form on the inside of the refrigerator. We've tried different settings, but always with the same result. A very disappointing purchase indeed.
Love our new refrigerator!
By SHKWDM
from West Des Moines, IA, United States
Our old refrigerator had a recurring issue that was costing us over $100 each repair. We finally were fed up enough that I started looking online at new ones. Rather than buy one blindly we decided to stop in a local store that we knew would allow us to look at all brands. We found our Kitchenaid and that was it. Love the storage drawers, outside finish, and water and ice dispenser. The only reason we didn't give it 5 stars is we ran out of ice over the holidays when we had a house full. I've adjusted the settings so will have to see how it fares the next time we have a house full.
