Australian entertain South Africa at the ANZ Stadium in Sydney this weekend looking to extend their recent dominance over their Tri-Nations rivals.
The Wallabies have won three out of the last four meetings between the sides with their most recent success an historic 49-31 victory in Bloemfontein last year. Australia have also won all four previous games at Saturday's venue with a late try from Mat Rogers and cool conversion from Stirling Mortlock just enough to claim a narrow 20-18 win in 2006.
However, the Springboks hold the historical advantage over the Wallabies with 41 Test victories to their rivals' 29 since their first meeting in Sydney in 1921 - won 25-10 by the visitors. The Boks' record in Sydney as a whole is a little more favourable with six wins out of 13 matches but the last of those wins was a 19-12 success at the Sydney Football Stadium in 1993.
Australia are the current holders of the Nelson Mandela Plate - named after South Africa's former president who turned 93 this week - thanks to their two victories in their three Tri-Nations clashes last year.

Replaced damaged element exercising the care suggested in repair comments by previous customers. Old unit had screws connecting the broiler element to the stove's electrical supply wires, which were difficult to remove due to old age. Just took a little extra care to ensure that supply wires were not damaged during disconnect and after reconnecting the new element the broiler tested OK. It is once again broiling steak to perfection

Into this mix now comes the Soulard Coffee Garden, a place to sit and sip and nibble -- upstairs or down, indoors or out -- in one of the wonderful old buildings that give the neighborhood such character. It's part coffee shop, part lunch-and-dessert counter, part salon, with the somewhat cluttered first-floor space -- a display case, an order/cashier counter, a coffee-bean rack and a enter island of brewed-coffee carafes, with a half-dozen tables shoved against the far wall -- counterpointed by an airy second-floor room stocked with books and board games. (Indeed, the fine folks of Metropolis have staked the place out as their weekend game gathering, including those guys-and-dolls' version of what may be the oldest established permanent floating euchre game in St. Lou. Check out the calendar at www.mstl.org for updates.)
As would be expected, there are some mean coffee drinks at the Soulard Coffee Garden, and smoothies are also a specialty. But I was especially taken with the made-to-order sandwiches, which feature stuff like roasted portobello mushrooms, garlic-roasted eggplant, fresh spinach and sun-dried tomatoes in various permutations and combinations. A full breakfast menu is served weekdays until 10 a.m., and you can get brunch until 2 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday; an evening menu is expected to be announced soon.

Naked Ambition: 20 Bare-It-All Music Videos (NSFW)
Blink-182, "What's My Age Again" (2000)
Pop-punk pranksters Blink-182 forget their gym shorts and take a leisurely, naked jog through the streets, encountering a memorable cast of characters along the way. The boys were actually wearing thongs during most the outdoor scenes, but they let the cameras capture it all in the studio shots.
Britney Spears, "Womanizer" (2008)
Britney got her sauna on during the filming of her 2008 comeback clip, which allowed her to show off her re-buffed bod. The song quickly became Brit Brit's first No. 1 hit in nine years. Coincidence?
NSFW: The Flaming Lips & Erykah Badu, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" (2012)
Erykah Badu and the Flaming Lips' extremely NSFW short for "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" made waves when it dropped -- much to the dismay of a very publicly-angry Badu -- in June. The footage switches between shots of the singer and her sister Nayrok Udab, fully naked in bathtubs, covering themselves in glitter and bodily fluids while Badu chants raw, haunting vocals. The video has since been removed by the Flaming Lips, but Lips frontman Wayne Coyne said that it might be remade, featuring Amanda Palmer.
Pink, "So What" (2008)
In this anthem for the scorned woman, the fiery singer tosses aside her dress on the red carpet as paparazzi bulbs flash, trying to capture the risque moment. Strategic black bars shows that Pink can still be classy, even when she's publicly parading in the buff.

"From my close observation of writers...they fall into two groups: 1) those who bleed copiously and visibly at any bad review, and 2) those who bleed copiously and secretly at any bad review."
Related quotes
"people have lost the true meaning of writing to write is not just to write something and get paid for to write is a special talent that a few people have when you have a gift and you have a dream money and all those extra things don't matter living your dream and being a true writer is the best dream you can live"
"To know a man, observe how he wins his object, rather than how he loses it; for when we fail, our pride supports us - when we succeed, it betrays us"
"A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others"
"Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative observation.' Creative viewing."

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/539,946 having filing date Jan. 29, 2004 for SAW Duplexer With Enhanced Isolation Performance, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, all being commonly owned.
The present invention generally relates to surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, and more particularly to a SAW duplexer.
A duplexer is generally known to be used to appropriately select a desired frequency band of transmitted and received signals in a communication radio. By way of example, and with reference to
A SAW duplexer may perform the selection of the desired signal band through a frequency filtering process comprising two SAW filters operating at different frequency bands. By way of example, the duplexer may have a received filter covering a passband from 869 MHz to 894 MHz and a transmitted filter covering a passband from 824 MHz to 849 MHz for a Cellular CDMA radio. For the personal communication services (PCS) CDMA radio, the received filter is generally set to cover the band from 1930 MHz to 1990 MHz while the transmitted filter covers the band from 1850 MHz to 1910 MHz. Thus, the SAW duplexer typically enables the simultaneous receipt and transmittance of the communication signals. In addition to providing the filtering selection of the appropriate signal band, the duplexer must also provide a desirable isolation between the received and transmitted channels. The received filter allows the receipt of the incoming signal and at the same time it must block any interference from the transmitted signal. Similarly, the transmitted filter allows the signal to be transmitted and simultaneously must block the interference from the received signal. Isolation is a measure of a desirable performance requirement in a duplexer. This is particularly the case for the CDMA mobile phone transceiver. In this type of transceiver, the incoming signal may be very weak, while the transmitted signal is generally very strong typically, 26�30 dB. Any leakage of the transmitted signal to a received channel could easily over-load the low noise amplifier. Therefore, a phase matching network is commonly used in SAW duplexers to provide isolation between the transmitted and received bands. While the transmitted and received filters of the duplexer are designed to be around 50 ohms, the phase matching network provides an impedance transformation at the outer band of the filter, and without a significant impact on the degradation of the passband characteristics. For example, while the impedance of the received filter is matched to be approximately 50 ohms across the passband, the impedance of the received filter should be very large at the transmitted frequency band. A microstrip line is generally embedded into the SAW duplexer package to perform the impedance transformation through phase shifting. To transform such a large swing of impedance, it is not uncommon to find devices with a strip length in the order of a quarter wavelength. The microstrip is generally embedded along the boundary edge of the package so as not to interfere with the SAW duplexer performance.
By way of example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,859,473 to Ikata et al. discloses two SAW filter die assembled in separated chambers of a multi-layered ceramic package. The separated filter die has the advantage that it minimizes any coupling between the transmitted and received filters. However, as the demand for miniaturization of SAW duplexers is enhanced, there is a need to have the two SAW filters incorporated into a single monolithic chip. Maintaining sufficient isolation between the two SAW filters is then complicated by a single chip implementation of the SAW duplexer. U.S. Pat. No. 6,466,103 to Iwamoto et al. discloses a SAW duplexer with a monolithic chip with a dimension of about 5 mm (width)�5 mm (length)�1.5 mm (height) and an arrangement of the phase matching line pattern at a position that is connected to bonding pads that are situated at a maximum distance from each other to reduce the interference between the two filters coupled through the matching line pattern.
To meet the demand for further size reduction of the SAW duplexer to a dimension of 3.8 mm (width)�3.8 mm (length) and 1.5 mm (height), as the SAW filters are laid closer together, the problems associated with maintaining an adequate isolation become even more complex. With less room to implement a phase matching line pattern that has to be approximately a quarter wavelength in length, it is more difficult to minimize the coupling between the filters through the line pattern. Furthermore, with the further shrinkage in the die size, second order effects have been discovered which degrade the isolation in both the transmitted and received bands of the duplexer.
By way of further example and as illustrated with reference to
One embodiment of the invention is herein described as a miniaturized SAW duplexer including two SAW filters carried on a monolithic piezoelectric chip, which chip is mounted inside a multi-layered ceramic package. A phase matching stripline may be embedded diagonally and between two ground layers of the multi-layered ceramic package, and is surrounded by a wall of via holes for significantly minimizing coupling between the transmit and receive filters by providing an improved ground shielding of the phase matching stripline. Further, teachings of the invention provide a miniaturized SAW duplexer that suppresses coupling within the same filter and coupling between the two SAW filters, thus providing an enhanced isolation performance.
Embodiments of the invention are described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
The present invention will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which embodiments of the invention are shown. However, this invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.
With reference to
The phase matching stripline 34 provides an impedance transformation through phase shifting between the transmitted and received filters 20, 18 to reduce passband degradation. Thus, the phase matching stripline 34 enables the received filter 18, while operating approximately at about 50 ohms at the received band, to provide a very high impedance at the transmitted band, thereby reducing the interference of the transmitted signal at the received band. The phase matching stripline 34 may be embedded between layers L4 and L5, as illustrated with reference again to
With reference now to
With reference now to
The vias 48, 49, also referred to as via holes, are generally composed either of tungsten, copper, silver or its alloys. In known SAW duplexer, as traces or striplines commonly meander along the edge, the via holes cannot completely surround the stripline and therefore cannot provide significantly good shielding to radiation thereby providing a coupling path for the filters. The stripline 34 will generally be implemented with a preselected length (approximately � of the wavelength) to provide a desirable phase shift for impedance transformation. The grounded walls of vias 48, 49 enable the phase matching stripline to be implemented in a meandering fashion diagonally along the package and directly underneath the SAW filter pattern allowing for further a desirable shrinkage of the duplexer package size.
As the SAW duplexer die size becomes smaller, it becomes easier for energy coupling between the transmitted and received filters. Additionally, there is coupling between the resonators within a filter itself that could degrade isolation performance of the duplexer. With reference again to
To further illustrate, and with reference to
The insert 70, as herein described, disproportionally perturbs the propagation of the waves and thereby eliminates resonance. By way of example, the metal wedge may be made of Al or Al alloy and may generally be of the same metal thickness as that of the duplexer filter pattern. The isolation performance of the SAW duplexer 10, herein described by way of example for an embodiment of the present invention, including the insert 70, as metal wedges inserted between the resonators 66, 68, is illustrated with reference to the response curves of
Many modifications and other embodiments of the invention will come to the mind of one skilled in the art having the benefit of the teachings presented in the foregoing descriptions and the associated drawings. Therefore, it is understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and that modifications and embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.

VANCOUVER — A month after his party suffered a shocking electoral upset, B.C. New Democrat Leader told party members that he takes responsibility for the debacle.
Adrian Dix faced the party's provincial council on Saturday, at a meeting to be almost completely dominated by a post-mortem of the May 14 election.
"We had expected, we wanted, we were told we were going to win, and we didn't and that is a devastating and heartbreaking thing," Dix told the council.
"It is a heartbreaking loss, and I am the leader of the NDP and I take fully responsibility for that loss.''
Dix said the New Democrats must embrace the lessons of the failed campaign — a process that has been going on for weeks and will continue at least until a general convention in November, where he will face a leadership review.
Though his political future has been the topic of much speculation since election night, Dix remained determined that he will stay at the helm unless members decide otherwise this fall.
"I could have been better in the campaign, and that will stay with me for a long, long time,'' Dix told the dozens of deflated regional representatives gathered in the basement of a downtown Vancouver hotel.
He blamed the Liberal victory on the loss of good-paying, blue-collar jobs under their governance.
"When you lose 40,000 forestry jobs in 10 years under the Liberals, it actually helps the Liberals win elections because those people who have been the bulwark of NDP support, particularly in the Interior, are not there,'' Dix told delegates.
But he acknowledged that some of the blame must be directed in-house, including a failure to make their case during the campaign that the Liberals were not worthy of another term in office.
The New Democrats didn't communicate their vision in a direct-enough way, and their campaign didn't resonate with those who would have benefited from the changes they planned, he said.
"The positive message that we put forward about change did not resonate with those that it needed to resonate with, and we have to acknowledge that,'' he said.
He also offered a mea culpa to the council members for announcing his opposition to an oil pipeline proposed by Calgary-based Kinder Morgan, saying it took away from a core focus the party had been planning for months around creating family-supporting, good-paying jobs.
"Our better agenda for jobs was lost somewhat in the debate around Kinder Morgan, and ... because of the way we handled the issue, we didn't actually have the debate that British Columbians needed to have about pipelines,'' he said.
Dix received a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Outside the meeting, which was closed to the media, Dix said his focus will be on an effective Opposition to B.C. Premier Christy Clark and her Liberal government.
The Liberals were elected on a platform "steeped in duplicity," he said, vowing to hold the government to account for their promises as soon as the legislature resumes next week.

MIAMI -- Joakim Noah is known for being an emotional player. On Sunday night, his emotions clearly got the best of him when he appeared to yell a profanity laced gay slur toward a fan during Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Based on what happened with Kobe Bryant back in April when the Lakers' star was caught using a similar remark toward an official, Noah is looking at a hefty fine by the NBA.
"I just got caught up," Noah said after the Heat beat the Bulls 96-85 to take a 2-1 series lead. "I didn't mean any disrespect. ... A fan said something, and I said something back. I apologize."
When asked if he expects to be fined, Noah said "I don't know what's going to happen."
It was a rough night all around for Noah. He got into early foul trouble in the first quarter, and the incident occurred when he went to the bench with his second foul with more than six minutes remaining in the opening period.
After briefly arguing the call, Noah headed straight for the Bulls bench and began barking at someone seated behind him and to his right. Noah then appeared to yell a string of profanities and finished with what appears to be the exact phrase that Bryant was fined for using.

His play on the court was almost as terrible as his tongue as he finished with one point, missing all four shots from the field, with five rebounds, six assists and two blocks. He also was the primary defender on Heat forward Chris Bosh, who finished with a game-high 34 points.
"I feel like I could definitely do a better job on the boards, and I need to finish better," Noah said. "I am really disappointed in myself with the way I played."
It was disappointing for the Bulls to have Noah struggle because Carlos Boozer had his best game of the playoffs. Boozer finished with 26 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks. He had 21 points and 17 rebounds combined in the first two games against the Heat.
Boozer, who hit 8-of-19 shots from the field and 10-of-12 foul shots, said Sunday he was more aggressive on offense. He also had seven offensive rebounds. But like the rest of his teammates, he was disappointed in the final outcome.
"We did a good job of playing," Boozer said. "We just have to finish the game better."
Heading into Game 4 on Tuesday, the Bulls hope that Boozer's play can continue at this level while getting more production from Noah. Chicago has yet to lose three games in a row this year, and the Bulls will need that trend to continue to avoid trailing in this series 3-1, which would be too tough to overcome.
Boozer said he doesn't expect that to happen.
"We feel like we had chances to win both of these last two games," he said. "We are not frustrated to where we will not keep fighting -- that's not our character. We are a tough-minded team. We will be right back at in Game 4."
The Bulls need Noah to be more focused and not let the crowd or his emotions take him out of the game. He also needs to play better defense.
Bosh was dominant in hitting 13-of-18 shots and getting Noah into foul trouble. Bosh also hit 8-of-10 shots from the foul line.
"I don't really worry about who is in front of me," Bosh said. "I know they're all good defenders, especially in the post. So I just kind of play my game."
Before this series started, Boozer said the Heat have "two great players" in LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, obviously taking a shot at Bosh. On Sunday, Bosh got his revenge against Boozer and the Bulls' big men.
Boozer said "I always have respect for him," but it took Bosh leading the way in Game 3 for him to acknowledge that publicly.
"He did a good job of hitting jump shots and being aggressive," Boozer said of Bosh. "When he's hitting his jumper he's tough to defend."
Boozer can hold his head high with his effort Sunday. And if the Bulls want to tie this series at two, he will have to have similar production in Game 4 to help out Derrick Rose, who had 20 points, five rebounds and five assists.
But Noah definitely needs to look in the mirror and question his play and the way he carries himself. Maybe losing potentially $100,000 will force him to change his choice of words.
It's all right to play with emotion on the court, but he has to keep his cool off it, especially when it comes to the fans and using derogatory language.

Why We Love the Hobbit
By Corine Gatti
The Hobbit is a story of good overcoming evil. Courage versus fear, exploring a world outside our comfort zone and stepping out in faith when it's rather uncomfortable. Bilbo Baggins just wants a quiet life at Bag End.
Although, not a recluse, Baggins goes with the ebbs and flows of life, sucking on his pipe, enjoying good food and drink outside of Hobbiton. Gandalf, an old wizard, challenges Baggins to join him on a journey and reclaim a treasure from the dragon Smaug of Middle-earth with a group of dwarf militants.
The storyline of The Hobbit is something we all can identify with at some point in our lives. Here are just a few reasons why we (I) love the Hobbit.

Phillies and Nats chasing history
The NL East rivals could both be the lowest-scoring playoff teams ever
Despite being two games under .500 through the first week of May, the Philadelphia Phillies are still projected to make the playoffs. Their rotation boasts five effective pitchers, with three elite starters at the front, and they employ the best active closer in baseball. Pitching was always going to be their ticket to the postseason this year.
That sentiment rings true now more than ever, as the offense is scoring only 3.6 runs per game. Runs are much tougher to come by without Chase Utley and Ryan Howard in the lineup, but slow starts from counted-on contributors like Jimmy Rollins, Hunter Pence and Shane Victorino have rendered the offense anemic quite often through its first 28 games.
The Phillies rank 10th in the National League with 101 runs, but their per-game rate ranks 11th. Obviously, scoring runs and winning games are strongly correlated -- the more runs scored, the better the odds are of winning the game. However, this Phillies team is interesting in the sense that its starting rotation is so effective that it could still make the playoffs with a poor offense, which leads to the million-dollar question:
If the offense doesn't improve and the Phillies make the playoffs, where would they rank among historically low-scoring playoff teams?

So disappointed
When I received the ring, I loved it! It was gorgeous, no problems with the ring changing colors, all it took was a little polishing each morning and it looked great. However, the one band that had the stones all the way around lost a stone within a couple of weeks. I just put it aside and continued to wear the engagement ring and other band. About a month later, both bands had missing stones, so they are all now laying in the bottom of my jewelry box. Would be so bad if they had cost a little less, but $**? Oh well, guess you get what you pay for.Read More

Customer Reviews
Can't access microphone :-(
I've been a loyal user of SoundHound for a few years now. The app is been really great and I've really enjoyed using it. Unfortunately a recent update has broken access to the microphone. I used the link in the app to go to the microphone settings but it sent me to the wrong part of the settings. I navigated to the correct place on my own and it said that the app never requested access to the mic. I tried restarting the app and I tried restarting my phone, both with no change. Then I took to the Internet looking for a solution. About the only advice I could find was to reset privacy and location settings. Did that, but still no joy.
Even so, I'm leaving a 4-star rating since the app has been nothing short of amazing throughout the years that I've used it. But unfortunately, not being able to use the microphone is kind of a big deal with this app. I hope to see this remedied in a future update.
Great app
I rarely write reviews unless it's a bad app but SoundHound is the exception. I actually had Shazam for a while b4 SoundHound even came out. Someone told me about SoundHound so I tried it. I liked it so much that I bought the paid version for around $2.99, I think. Idk it was a looong time ago. SoundHound. Worth it!
To the developers, to take this app to the next level, make it possible to use SoundHound while listening to a video or audio recording that is playing on the same device. In other words, while watching a movie on Netflix on my iPhone I would like to use that same iPhone to use SoundHound to look up a song playing in the background of a movie or audio file or video file.
Possible Improvements & A Few Problems
This app is great, but I think the biggest thing that could help it is if there could be a way to organize the songs you have searched into groups so that if the song name or artist is forgotten we can find the song again by genre of music or even instruments included. Please consider!
Update: I'm having a problem on the iPhone 5. The app is functioning very slowly and I'm having trouble staying signed in. My history and favorites are not loading properly. Some are listed as "Unknown Song" and I can't access the song I searched. Also, some of the songs I search cause the app to crash, resulting in it forgetting the song I searched. The app is crashing much more in general, like when I sign out or favorite a song. Please fix!

As I mentioned in my 2015 post, I would be experimenting with some media buying and list building. The plans are starting to come together and I decided it would be time to release those plans to anyone interested for feedback or to help with new ideas.
If you have been following me at all then you know my niche of choice is always health/fitness related due to the fact that I am involved in the field as my profession and have working knowledge. Content is not an issue with this niche and it is something that I like. Basically, I am in my comfort zone here and I think that is important to note.
The Free Gift For Subscribers
The basic premise with be three separate membership websites offering an "x number of days" free course. Each website will focus on an aspect of health/fitness/weightloss and although related I don't see each audience becoming a member of the other sites.
Now, within these 5,7,10 day courses will be have each page of content released through an email sequence for the day. This is critical to keep the email subscribers engaged and ready to open our emails. There will also be an offer (similar to a OTO) to just buy the course at a reasonable price (less than 10.00) immediately rather than wait for the entire sequence to play out.
This offers us a chance to recoup some of our initial investments from media buying and other forms of paid advertising to generate traffic. The traffic will be generated from solo ads, banner ads and Facebook ads initially as a way to get the ball rolling quickly and generate some subscribers.
Ok Great What Are The Steps?
There is a list of things necessary to get started with this plan if you were going to follow along. No, these are not affiliate offer links, in fact, I am not going to link this out at all. Just do a google search for the product if you can't find it.
- Optimizepress 2.0- I was an owner of the original product and was satisfied but the new version looks awesome. We will use this to build out both squeeze pages and membership sites.
- Webhosting- I already have numerous accounts, if you are starting you will need to buy hosting
- Domain Names- It's looking like I will be buying 4 domain names, one for each site and then the "parent company" website that ties it all together
- Autoresponder- Probably either aweber or getresponse. Does not matter to me, I'll go with whatever has the better sale at time of purchase
Moving On…..
The next step will be creating the courses, squeeze pages for opt-ins, initial articles and then finally the email sequences. I'll post more updates as this develops, I am hoping to have a lot of this done by next weekend but we will see how things progress.

The commercialisation of bioinformatics and the threat of open-source software
This study investigates the commercialisation process of a select group of bioinformatics companies and the impact of open-source software. Using the research–development–application translation model provides a framework for managers as an iterative mechanism. A Value Creation Pipeline is then introduced with five phases of the commercialisation process that provide specific financial benchmarks that can guide the firm through to successful commercialisation. Using trend and financial ratio analyses relative to returns, profitability and liquidity, the study finds that the surge in open-source licenses between 2003 and 2005 limited the sales for some firms. As for the claim that open-source software negatively impacts the success of bioinformatics commercialisation, there was little evidence to suggest a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Losses in returns, profitability and liquidity were just as common before the rise of open source as after its emergence. When firms report an overall record over a nine-year period of poor return on investment, assets and equity, there is little to attract potential investors. The lesson that can be drawn is that the innovation process and financial tracking must be integrated to ensure efficient and profitable use of investor funds.

Hot and Cold hoses reversed on Miele? URGENT
After trying to run a No Heat Cycle, I noticed glass felt warm to touch. I immediately stopped the cycle and drained the water and sure enough, water was hot.
Hoses are hooked up to the correct faucets, but it they are reversed where they come out of the back of the washer according to the owners manual.
How do I switch these? I can not tell how they fit into the back of the unit. Can I do it myself or do I need to have the installers come back out?
No wonder I was having wrinkle problems! TIA
Do you have the original grey(hot) and white (cold) hoses?
If so they are attached at the back but with a plastic nut, someone with a good grip should try and unscrew them and switch.
If you have to use pliers then be careful not to crack the plastic.
I just checked on my washer and during rinses it uses only cold water.
Thanks, Mihai!
You were right in your earlier post when you suggested they were reversed! I do have the original hoses, and the "professional" installers did not do the job correctly. They were right at the hookups, but reversed where attached to the washer.
I've returned them now to the correct order and was able to get a cold water fill. Hopefully this will help with the "wrinkle" problem, too.
