A clean surface will have a nice, shiny appearance free of any cracks, crevices, scratches and major pores. These "perfect" surfaces will reflect most of the incoming light in one direction and will not allow industrial fallouts — acid rain and other contaminants — to penetrate from the outside layer (clear coat) to lower ones. Thus, the surface provides protection for the rest of the vehicle's paint.
From a physical point of view, polishing and waxing reduce the surface area by leveling, i.e. moving toward the perfectly smooth surface. Polishing cuts off "peaks," waxing fills up "valleys." The result is a smooth, glossy surface.
Newer surfaces with minimal damage do not need extensive polishing or waxing. A good cleaning followed by a quick polishing (buffing) or the application of a spray-on type wax (express wax) either manually or automatically, online or after the carwash, can save lots of labor and generate extra income to detail shops and carwashes.

Unbelievable. Barack Obama called Libyan President Mohamed Yusuf al-Magariaf today to thank him for his support.
This is the day after US Ambassador Stevens was murdered at the consulate.
And, the Islamist killers may have been tipped off by elements within Libya's security forces.
On 9-11, radical Islamists attacked the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya with rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire.
They murdered US Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Islamists dragged the dead body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens from the consulate after he was murdered.
The radical Islamists attacked the embassy with rocket propelled grenades and machine gun fire.
Al- Ahram
The ambassador's body was was missing for five hours after the attack.
WTH! And our Ambassador was NOT just murdered. He was RAPED! On top of that, the internet was crawling with pretty specific warnings for days before – back as far as September 4. Worse, even though Benghazi has been threatened before and even attacked, there was NOT ONE US MARINE!
You remember that 3 AM business from Hillary? Well quite apparently neither Obama – who had not attended his national security brief in a week prior – nor Hillary, who had direct responsibility for the security of our embassies, is up to 3 AM or even 12 NOON in broad daylight.
Way to put a spin on the call. . .anyone believing these "lies"?
And what about this ?
Horror!… Lebanese Reports: US Ambassador Raped Before His Murder
According to the Lebanese news organization Tayyar.org, citing AFP news sources, U.S. ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens, who was killed by gunmen that stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on Tuesday, was reportedly raped before being murdered. A google translation of the report says.
A news report made by the Libyan Free Press is also reporting that Ambassador Stevens was sodomized before he was killed:
Obama hasn't had a national security briefing since 9/6 Doesn't have one on his schedule today which begins at 10:15 a.m.!!! This A hole doesn't care about us, his employers. He's interested in keeping his skinny A$$ on AF1 and Mooch in the White House! Paging Congress! Oversight please!!!
'I have a hole in my heart': Mother of U.S. ambassador killed in Libya pays tribute to the son who loved his role'
Chris Stevens, 52, died with three other US officials in attack on US Consulate in Benghazi on Tuesday night
Appointed as ambassador in January after 21-year foreign service career
His mother Mary Commanday has spoken of the loss of her son saying 'this was his passion'
Mr Stevens: 'I want peace in this part of the world'
Married father-of-two Sean Smith also killed in attack; Hillary Clinton called him 'one of our best'

'I sure do feel animosity toward those nuts who got in there and did this, (but) it had nothing to do with the politics of Libya. They were not insurgents, they were Islamic fanatics.'
Remember that Libya is owned by Obama. Remember how he worked to get Kadafi thrown out of power. When the Obama Administration got involved it was a shock to a lot of people.
When will it dawn on the American people that this president truly hates our country and everything we stand for?
Perry blasts, blames Obama for Benghazi, Cairo attacks and Ambassador Chris Stevens death
"Muammar Qadaffi was an evil oppressor who murdered innocent Americans. But in the naïve belief that America could "lead from behind" in the operation to remove him, this President allowed Libyan rockets and artillery to be scattered to the terrorist winds and had no plan to secure the country. Now we have these brazen attacks on our mission in Benghazi, and the violent death of our ambassador.
"Combined with President Obama's shameful lack of leadership in Egypt that culminated in the burning of our flag in our own embassy in Cairo yesterday, it is no wonder our enemies in the region are emboldened and our allies are afraid.
"All Americans join together in mourning the tragic loss of our Foreign Service personnel in Benghazi yesterday, and extending our deepest sympathies to their families. We must now act decisively to secure our surviving people in the region, prevent further senseless bloodshed and defend American interests abroad."
Perry's statement goes much further than the Romney campaign has gone on the matter — in a statement last night and at a press conference this morning, Romney and his campaign have slammed the White House for "sympathiz[ing] with those who waged the attacks."
Romney's remarks were based around a statement put out by the U.S. Embassy in Cairo hours before protesters overran one of the walls protecting it. The statement was put out in response to an anti-Islamic video supposedly posted by an American that had begun to gain traction and generate anger on the 'Arab Street.' And hours after protesters at the embassy in Cairo overwhelmed some of its defenses, an armed group launched a coordinated attack against the American mission in Benghazi, Libya.
The attack against the U.S. mission in Libya killed four American diplomats, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.[...............]

Under other circumstances, why hasn't he been impeached years ago. He should have and hopefully there will be some charges coming after November because there has been much leadership.
hasn't been, correction
The parade of incompetence coming out of Obie's administration has got to be…unprecedented.
Conservatives rally on embassy attacks
Conservative foreign policy hawks, outraged at the media's circle-the-wagons reaction to the attacks on two embassies, are speaking out in defense of Mitt Romney.
Former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton tells Right Turn:"The perception of American weakness that provided the foundation for these attacks is largely because of Obama administration mistakes and lack of resolve. A repetition of 1979 in Tehran is nor fetched, especially given the weakness of Obama's statement this morning." He dismisses the media storyline as pure boosterism: "The press criticism of Romney's statement is so clearly at the administration's behest that they are giving lapdogs a bad name."
The reaction of the Obama administration, for those who lived through it, is eerily reminiscent of the Clinton administration when a series of bombings (the 1993 World Trade Center, the Khobar towers in Saudi Arabia, the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and the U.S.S. Cole) were treated as discrete events without a significant U.S. response. This, the 9-11 Commission and others concluded, was a dangerous misstep and set the ground work for the 9-11 attacks. The repetition of this ominous pattern on the 11th anniversary of 9-11 shouldn't be overlooked. It is the quickness to excuse Islamic violence and the lack of a forceful response that is deeply troubling to critics of the administration. We may be in the middle of a campaign, but the national security concerns are real and valid.
The Republican Party is blaming Romney for his statements? This is where the Chit hits the fan.
They better kept their Damn mouth shut, for the good of American and the republican party.
If we take America back they aren't acting like it. I suggest if the want to lose America forever SHUT THE HELL UP.
Obama slams Romney, says GOP rival 'didn't have his facts right'
"It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks," Romney said in a statement released shortly before the end of the day Tuesday.
But the statement from the embassy was issued some five hours before protesters began gathering outside. And, in additional excerpts of the CBS interview provided by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, President Obama seized on this apparent inconsistency to slam Romney.
"I think most Americans, Democrats or Republicans, understand that there are times where we set politics aside, and one of those is when we've got a direct threat to American personnel who are overseas," the president said. "And so I think that if you look at how most Republicans have reacted, most elected officials, they've reacted responsibly, waiting to find out the facts before they talked, making sure that our number-one priority is the safety and security of American personnel."
you would expect it from a leader with no leadership abilities but the Republicans piling on?
They maybe putting a nail in the Career.
Ghosts of 2008 coming back to haunt
Biden "We are going to have an international crisis. A GENERATED crisis to test the mettle of this guy" He goes on to say in the same speech that it WON'T BE APPARENT THAT OBAMA IS DOING THE RIGHT THING

Tie Rod Assembly/Parts Needed
I need to replace all my Tie Rod components, Does anyone know where to find the best/Cheapest parts? I also need all new shocks but unsure of how to tell if there is a lift kit on this truck as everything looks factory (no blocks or body lift but sits higher than most 1500 ex-cabs i have seen around )
My tir rods are so sloppy I am all over the road and plan to get this all done on the 15th.
Also what are the biggest meatiest tires i can fit on my factory16" rims without any issues?
I have a 97 1500 4x4 5.9 360
Thanks eveyone for all your help on this issue.....
For your year truck I'd go to NAPA or any other auto parts store that carries the Moog line. They aren't the cheapest parts but they last.
Check to see if there isn't some metal "donuts" or rings sitting on top of your springs. That would be a level kit.
A 265/60 is a good size for your truck and wheels.
Thanks Maddog... Yes I know Moog is the best as I have gotten them before for my 88 GMC Jimmy, O'Riely's has MOOG and Rare Parts which range from $90's-$197 and the same parts at AutoZone in their brands run half of that... Both come with Limited lifetime warranty's. I want to stay cheap but I know it is some important components under alot of stress 100% of the time driving. I was hoping to find somewhere to buy the MOOG parts cheaper if possible because i am looking at $400-$600 for just the Inner Right
Inner Left
Outer Right
Outer Left
Track Bar
Steering Damper
Then another $400-$1000 just for new shoes, geeze when does it end...lol
All good reasons to not scrimp on parts! You can go cheap on parts but then you will end up doing it again and spending more money before you would with the good stuff.
So true, Been there/Done that ! I just checked out NAPA and the track bars go for as much as $300+ Hope theres some gold in those...lol Have anyone heard of the RARE PARTS brand parts? They are damn near doubled/trippled in price to MOOG parts.
Agreed on Moog. Sometimes cheaper isn't always better lol, but I've not had a problem with their parts on other vehicles.

Drastic Increase in Computer Viruses, Fake Antivirus Scams, and Spyware for 2012 Reported by OnlineVirusRepair.com
OnlineVirusRepair.com reports a drastic increase in virus and spyware activity for 2012, along with the popular fake antivirus scam.
San Luis Obispo, CA (PRWEB) December 19, 2012
Computers are an essential part of our lives. They provide us an endless amount of useful information, communication, and simplicity. When computers stop functioning properly, it can create a huge headache and greatly impact productivity. OnlineVirusRepair.com, an online virus removal company based in San Luis Obispo, CA has noticed a drastic increase in new viruses traveling around the internet. This comes as no surprise as more people turn to their computers for holiday shopping instead venturing out to local stores. Many computer users fail to have a computer checkup before engaging in online business or shopping.
One of the most popular virus infections of 2012 is a new type of virus, classified as ransomware. Many of these viruses use a scare tactic to fool unsuspecting users into sending them money in order to have access to their computer. Some infections even claim to be part of a government branch, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the United States Department of Justice. Dan Steiner, Co-Founder of OnlineVirusRepair.com states "We´ve had quite a few people calling us asking if the FBI has blocked access to their computer, or if they should send money online to the government. It´s important that people understand the government will never demand money online. The FBI Virus and the United States Department of Justice Virus have been a huge problem, and these types of viruses will continue to spread for some time until antivirus companies can catch up."
Another common type of spyware infecting computers is known as the rogue fake antivirus family. This type of spyware looks like a legitimate antivirus program installed within a computer, and may even pop up with alerts about threats and scan results. Using names like Win 7 Antispyware Pro 2013, or Microsoft Antivirus 2013, it´s easy to see how an unsuspecting computer user may fall victim to this scam. The goal of this type of spyware is to trick you into purchasing a license to remove threats. However, the program is entirely fake and paying for a license is dangerous and will not remove the problem.
To help prevent these types of scams and viruses from spreading, OnlineVirusRepair.com offers a computer checkup and virus scan at no charge. Computer users are urged to take advantage of the service and ensure their computer is clean before shopping or inputting any sensitive personal information that may become compromised.
OnlineVirusRepair.com is an American based company specializing in online virus and malware removal for individual computer users and businesses. The company was founded in 2012 by Dan Steiner and Brent Sarkison with headquarters in San Luis Obispo, CA. Customers with infected machines can call or chat with OnlineVirusRepair.com technicians to have viruses, malware, and spyware removed remotely without the hassle of taking their computer "into the shop." Technicians are able to remotely remove threats even without the client being at their computer; often in 30 minutes or less.

The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Despite triple-digit temperatures in the Central Valley of California, twenty-five members of Peace Fresno and Peace Madera joined nationwide demonstrations for an hour this morning to "Restore the Fourth." Groups were stationed at the four corners of a busy Madera intersection about fifteen miles north of Fresno. They held these and other signs:
A sign first used in a 2006 demonstration:
For details about demonstrations elsewhere, see this diary by Bleuz00m: This July 4th, Restore The 4th Amendment. A rally in San Francisco today is described in Restore the Fourth protesters stage rallies against NSA surveillance, subtitled "San Francisco protest targets Senator Dianne Feinstein as part of demands for reform of Patriot Act across the US."
More information about the Fourth Amendment, its roots in English law, and its many interpretations by different U.S. courts can be found here.
Professor Juan Cole wrote yesterday in How Unreasonable Searches of Private Documents Caused the American Revolution:
We need a privacy law in the United States that would settle these issues for electronic papers and reinforce the plain language of the Fourth Amendment, which is by now almost a dead letter.Cole points out that one reason for the NSA snooping is the fear of terrorism, but he notes:
there have only been 100 terrorist plots on US soil since 2008 and the NSA only claims to have disrupted 10 of them through electronic surveillance. There have in those 5 years been 25,000 terrorist attacks worldwide, of which the NSA claims to have foiled 50 through electronic surveillance. So they are not actually so effective that we should be eager just to abrogate a whole amendment to the Constitution over it. And, moreover, there were 70,000 violent fatalities in the United States during this period since 2008, and 20 of those were owing to terrorism.

Improved cookstove designs reduce the use of firewood in rural communities, countering deforestation, soil erosion and food insecurity. They also ensure cleaner combustion than in traditional open-fire cooking, reducing harmful indoor pollution.
CHEMA Programme, a Tanzanian NGO that works in the rural Kagera region, develops stoves that are designed to be a good match for available fuel resources and local people's cooking habits. It aims to preserve the environment, produce energy from organic waste and empower women and girls by alleviating their daily tasks.

(From Stephen Vitiello's "Reed Scores.")
Does art make what you eat taste better? As part of its community outreach, on March 30 the Warehouse Gallery hosted students from Seymour Elementary School and Fowler High School to meet with sound artists Stephen Vitiello and Andrew Deutsch. "Sound Scores: Paper, Wood, Stone and Glass" officially opened later that week. But while sound and video installations still seem inaccessible to some art patrons, Deutsch finds young people a natural, even easier audience.
"We are all born into a synesthetic world," said Deutsch, 41, by phone earlier this week from Hornell in the Southern Tier, where he teaches sound and video art at Alfred University. "All the senses are connected to one point in our brains when we're born, so everything happens at once. They start separating at about six months. Smell is the first to separate, then probably taste and hearing. Seeing is last! Not everybody separates fully. So it's very natural, and we say music has a 'rough shape' or that a high pitch is 'bright.' Now some people are trying to get that capacity to come back."
Vitiello, 45, is an electronic musician and media artist who teaches kinetic imaging at Virginia Commonwealth University. Last Friday, speaking from Richmond by phone, Vitiello recalled the Seymour and Fowler students.
"Andrew introduced themes and I would talk about the technology. I recorded the third graders and I showed the high school students some free programs they can download. You know, they wrote us these beautiful thank-you notes and every single one of them mentioned the juice and cookies they had."
Vitiello and Deutsch first met in 1993 and have collaborated since 1999 by visiting each other's campuses for projects and exchanging sound files for their CDs. For their first joint gallery exhibition, they came a week early to set up. Syracuse University's contemporary art curator, Anja Chavez, based in the Warehouse Gallery, first invited Vitiello to exhibit at her previous position, Wellesley College's Davis Museum.

UPDATE: Battalion Chief Tracy Freeman told WVEC.com that neighbors reported seeing a light on in one of the apartments last night and that there were signs of squatters overnight.
The fire was put out in about 10 minutes
A woman who lives next door suffered a cut when windows in her home blew out.
The cause of the fire is under investigation; investigators are working to determine whether there was an active gas line to the complex. Virginia Natural Gas officials say there doesn't appear to be an issue with their system in the area.
VIRGINIA BEACH -- Va. Beach firefighters are on the scene of an apartment fire.
Authorities tell WVEC.com that calls came in about fire and a possible explosion at 315 15th Street around 6:50 a.m.
So far, no injuries have been reported and crews are searching each floor to make sure no one was inside.
People who live by the building say it was vacant because it's undergoing renovations.
One woman said she heard an explosion and then saw smoke coming from the first floor.
Crews also have secured the gas line to the building.
Meantime, 15th Street between Arctic Crescent and Pacific Avenue is closed for the firefight and investigation.

Will the spot of bad luck that plagued the Congress-NCP combine in the Lok Sabha polls with opposition Shiv Sena-BJP sweeping over 220 assembly segments in Maharashtra, continue well into the assembly elections?
The present trend coupled with the honeymoon period of the soon-to-be sworn in Narendra Modi-led BJP government in Delhi may make things tougher for the state ruling coalition that is smarting under a defeat that saw the saffron alliance sweeping an unprecedented 42 of the 48 Lok Sabha seats.
The crunching of numbers for the 48 Lok Sabha constituencies in the state indicates that the saffron alliance was ahead in 231 of the 288 seats covered (Shiv Sena 89 and BJP 131) with the Congress-NCP at a poor number two with 43 (Congress 17 and NCP 26).
Others like Swabhimani Paksha led by Hatkanangale MP and farmer leader Raju Shetti (9), RSP (3) and PWP (2) make up the remaining.
In Mumbai, Shiv Sena-BJP decisively trounced Congress-NCP with leads in 16 and 17 constituencies as against two and one for the Congress and the NCP in the 36 constituencies in the metropolis. MNS, AAP and Samajwadi Party have drawn a blank.
In an indication of the anti-incumbency mood sweeping the state, influential state ministers like home minister RR Patil, forest minister Patangrao Kadam, industries minister Narayan Rane, revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat, agriculture minister Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil, rural development minister Jayant Patil, labour minister Hasan Mushrif, PWD minister Chhagan Bhujbal and his son Pankaj, and minister of state Uday Samant, have seen candidates of their parties or allies trailing in their assembly segments.
Influential politicians like speaker Dilip Valse Patil (Pune), former union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's daughter Praniti (Solapur), former chief minister Vilasrao Deshmukh's son and political scion Amit (Latur), former minister Babanrao Pachpute (Ahmednagar), Bala Nandgaonkar, Nawab Malik and Nitin Sardesai (Mumbai) have fared similarly, indicating that the almost vice-like hold of regional satraps and sugar daddies on state's politics may be slipping.
The Modi wave seems to have swept away all smaller players in the state, converting the Lok Sabha election into one that was fought between the two main fronts—Cong-NCP and Sena-BJP—with candidates of smaller and sub-regional players like MNS and Bharatiya Republican Paksha-Bahujan Mahasangh (BRP-BMS) failing to garner lead in the assembly segments represented by their party.
In Nashik, where MNS has three of its six MLAs, the party's candidate, Dr Pradeep Pawar, had to face the ignominy of losing his security deposit like his counterparts from the party who contested elsewhere.
While the BRP-BMS has two MLAs from Akola, its party chief and former MP Prakash Ambedkar, who is Dalit icon Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar's grandson, trailed in these constituencies.
Sena-BJP have swept all assembly segments in Mumbai North (Gopal Shetty), Mumbai North East (Kirit Somaiya), Mumbai South Central (Rahul Shewale), Mumbai North West (Gajanan Kirtikar), Beed (Gopinath Munde), Nagpur (Nitin Gadkari), Ratnagiri Sindhudurg (Vinayak Raut), Sangli (Sanjaykaka Patil), Latur (Dr Sunil Gaikwad), Thane (Rajan Vichare), Jalna (Raosaheb Danve), Wardha (Ramdas Tadas), Gadchiroli (Ashok Nete) and Chandrapur (Hansraj Ahir), a fact which may send shivers down the spine of local Congress and NCP legislators.
Some like Rane, whose son and sitting MP Nilesh was in the fray from Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg, Praniti Shinde, whose father lost from Solapur, Independent MLA from Badnera, Ravi Rana, whose wife and actress Navneet Kaur Rana was contesting as a NCP candidate from Amravati, could not ensure lead in their assembly segments for their kin.
BJP spokesperson Madhav Bhandari said though the leads in the Lok Sabha polls may not exactly mirror the likely scenario in the assembly polls, the voting pattern reflected the mood of the electorate. "This mood will certainly be carried forward," he added.
However, Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant pointed out that voter behaviour varies in state and LS polls and pointed to how while the Congress was trailing in Risod assembly segment in the Lok Sabha polls, its nominee, Amit Zanak, won the by-poll held at the same time.
"The trend will not continue," said Sawant, adding that the opposition was bound to suffer reverses in the assembly polls as "it lacked a face, haven't been able to work well as an opposition, failed to tackle questions facing the state and Shiv Sena president lacked control over his organisation and lacked a programme."

Does your washer dance around while spinning a small load of laundry? Do you find strings and sometimes whole articles of clothing wrapped tightly around an agitator? Tired of wiping dirt and grime from the top lip of your washers drum? Are you irritated that your clothes are done washing but your dryer hasn't finished? Always buying laundry detergent? This one washer solves all that! I purchased it in August of 2013 and have four months of use out of it. It is without a doubt the best washer I have ever owned in my 41 years of existence. I can wash clothes quickly because of this washers large drum size. I like that the washer automatically adjust the the time it washes a load on the fly. Often the load is done in much less time then the digital display says it will take at the start of the cycle. We have the washer in our basement. The humming noise of the fast spinning drum is not even audible from upstairs. And speaking if fast spinning drums, even at a high speed the washer would barely cause a bowl of Jello to jiggle if set on top of it. The clothes come out dry enough that it takes longer to wash a load than dry it. Very impressive. It uses very little water and we only use one to two tablespoons of powder detergent per wash load. The clothes come out smelling fresh and clean. Speaking of smells one of the things we were concerned about from reading reviews about front loaders was that they developed a smell. We have not noticed any smell at all. The washer has a large rubber seal in front that a tiny bit of water collects in. We leave a rag sit on top of the washer and dab out the seal when we are done washing for the day. It takes about 5 seconds. We also leave the door ajar as recommend when not doing laundry. I'm convinced that anyone who says the washer developers an oder simply does not take care of their machine.

The design of this machine is impressive. It is beautiful to behold, the blue lights are gorgeous, and the musical tones of the buttons are lovely. The machine fails though to do the basic job of a washing machine. The detergent cup: this cup is used to add powder or liquid detergent, softener and bleach. the selector for powder or liquid detergent is awkward, but one can live with it. Never had a problem with detergent dispensing. Softener on the other hand is a problem. Rarely does the machine dispense all the softener. The dispenser cups also remain filled with water even after the wash cycle is complete. This causes moisture to remain in the area and leads to mold. We have to clean this frequently. The inside: good capacity, nice stainless steel inside, I like that anything that makes it into the machine (coins, pins, etc.) makes its way under the gasket instead of in the tubes/lines. Washing performance: horrible. I cant figure out why, but the machine does not wash well. I have tried many different settings, only to always find uneven soap or water distribution and uneven cleaning results. a few times I have had some items not even washed or wet at all. there's something in the design that prevents the detergent and water and cleaning from reaching all clothes equally. The Normal wash cycle just doesn't wash. We have had to settle on a bizarre combination of settings to get our clothes acceptably clean. The spin cycle is impressive, and when clothes do wash, they spin very well and leave little moisture, saving time and energy with our dryer. the inside does get moldy very quickly, so always leave the door open, and NEVER leave a washed load in there for more than 30 minutes. I also wish there would be a rinse-only cycle. In short, this machine was largely designed by a marketing team or amateur engineers since the washing performance is so poor.

Great Features & Cleans Clothes Excellently
By Kaner
from Chicago, IL, United States
Comments about Whirlpool Duet Chrome Shadow Steam Front Load Washer:
I was a bit intimidated at first with all the features as this is my first HE washer but found it was very user friendly. Washes the great & was everything I expected. The only thing I don't like is it takes a long time to wash & you have to make sure that you clean it at least once a month. I also wipe down the seal, door, & soap dispenser after each use to avoid mold as I was told HE front loader washers are susceptible to getting & then your clothes will smell.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Recently purchased this model. It was my first front loading washer. It was hard to spend so much on a washer, but it works so much better than any other washer I've had. I actually enjoy using it because of all the features and the alarm tones are so pleasant compared to others!

POMEROY — The second person charged in connection with the rape of a juvenile and a methamphetamine lab in Middleport last August has pleaded guilty to lesser charges.
Brenda A. Stewart, 43, of Middleport, entered a guilty plea to one count of illegal possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine and one count of child endangerment. Both charges are felonies of the third degree.
Stewart was scheduled for a jury trial next week.
Per the plea agreement, the remaining charges of rape and illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, both first-degree felonies, will be dismissed. Case 13CR164 will also be dismissed. Stewart was originally indicted under that case, but was re-indicted to clarify the charges against her.
Victim's Assistance Director Theda Petrasko addressed the court, stating that the victim was in agreement with the plea and did not believe her mother had knowledge of the rape taking place.
Stewart did not address the court other than answering direct questions from the judge.
Judge I. Carson Crow sentenced Stewart to the maximum of 36 months on each of the two counts, to be served consecutively for six years total.
Joseph Stewart, 39, entered a guilty plea to three of the eight counts he was facing in connection with the case during a hearing Feb. 6.
He pleaded guilty to illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the third degree; rape, a felony of the first degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree.
Stewart was indicted last year on five counts of rape, each one a felony of the first degree; one count of illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the first degree; illegal assembly or possession of chemicals for the manufacture of methamphetamine, a felony of the second degree; and sexual battery, a felony of the third degree.
In accordance with the plea agreement, five counts of the indictment were dismissed, along with case 13CR163. Stewart was originally indicted under case 13CR163, but was re-indicted to add additional charges and clarify the charges.
Joseph Stewart was sentenced to 17 years in prison and must register as a tier III sex offender for life.
The Stewarts were arrested Aug. 21 following the discovery of a methamphetamine lab at 60 1/2 Cole St. in Middleport.
At that time, deputies, along with Department of Jobs and Family Services-Children Services workers interviewed a minor female who alleged forced sexual abuse by her stepfather, Joseph G. Stewart. After interviewing the minor child's mother, Brenda A. Stewart, along with the stepfather, it was determined sexual abuse had occurred, according to law enforcement.
Middleport Police Chief Bruce Swift and Meigs County Sheriff Keith Wood have said officers with both departments responded to the residence, following up on a tip received through Meigs County Children Services regarding a methamphetamine lab and possible sexual abuse of a minor at the residence.
The Stewarts live in an apartment at that address, according to Swift.
While searching the residence, deputies allegedly located a one-pot reactionary vessel and white powder that tested positive for methamphetamine, along with chemicals used in the production of methamphetamine.

Against 4.0 to 3.5+ it's effective enough to get me into the point. Against weak 3.5 and below it's a weapon.
Of course, when everything gets stronger and the hand/wrist heals fully, then I want to try to do some things (which will probably involve experimenting with a slightly higher toss) to improve it that I can't really do effectively now. Ie., bend into the court, point (bring feet together), knee bend, and extending more (maybe even jumping a little) into contacting the ball.
Yes, toss is too low and too far to the side. Should be more one o'clock versus two o'clock like yours. You simply slice the serve now. There is no pronation (and, as you mention no leg drive, etc). The question is how good to you want to get and how much time do you have to put into it. Your forehand is a 4.0. The serve is 3.5 to maybe 4.0 and same with your backhand. To get to 4.5 you would have to re-work you serve and backhand to get top spin on both to go all with your slices on both.
You play pretty smart and well for your level.

what is the best soft, last long multi string?

Babolat xcel
My favorite multi has to be the Babolat xcel string(16 gauge). This is the most popular choice of string for the customers I string for and I get nothing but great feed back. I also tested out this string @60 pounds and was very pleased.
Even at 60 pounds this string still was very soft and offered arm friendly play. This string had tremendous feel and played with great control. As I continued to play throughout the week these strings held there tension and continued to play great. I played for 2 hours with this string each day and by the end of the 2nd week they began to fray and that allowed amazing spin control. 3 days into the 3rd week they broke but I hit with a lot of spin and break strings very often and these held up longer then other multis I have played with. Although they are a bit expensive they played the softest had the most feel and control throughout the strings life.

Western Carolina University, College of Business Appoints New Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Western Carolina University (WCU) announces the appointment of Zahed Subhan, PhD., as Director of the University´s Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. Dr. Subhan brings expertise in company formation and development, biotechnology and pharmaceutical innovation.
Cullowhee, NC (PRWEB) June 25, 2012
Dr. Subhan comes to Western Carolina University following a 27 year career spanning leadership roles in the multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. Dr. Subhan´s experience includes fundraising and new company start-ups, corporate development and successful "exits" by both initial public offering and merger and acquisition.
"I am privileged to be joining Western Carolina University at such an exciting time in its history. In particular, the College of Business has grown in stature in recent years and now includes one of the nation´s highest-ranked entrepreneurship programs," said Dr. Subhan.
"My principal ambitions are to improve the quality of innovative thinking in the western North Carolina region and to stimulate entrepreneurial skills in students, faculty members, WCU alumni and the general entrepreneurial public. Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking. Understanding how to translate ideas into realities, transforming companies to greater heights, or simply helping a non-profit do more with less"¦being inspired, inventing and innovating to add value is at the heart of entrepreneurship," added Dr. Subhan.
Dr. Subhan holds a PhD. in Experimental Psychology from the University of Leeds, UK; an MBA in Marketing from the University of Bradford Management Centre, UK, and an LLB (Law) degree from the University of London, UK. Dr. Subhan also previously served as Adjunct Professor of Entrepreneurship at Philadelphia University School of Business Administration.
"We are absolutely thrilled to have such an engaged colleague as Dr. Subhan. His presence is already being felt by a number of organizations with which he has begun to collaborate in the region, and I have no doubt in his capacity to increase the visibility and impact of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation on a national, if not global scale, given his substantial international experience and expertise," said Dr. Robert Lahm, an associate professor of entrepreneurship in the Center´s distance Master of Entrepreneurship Degree Program.
The WCU College of Business´ Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is designed to serve as a catalyst for the creation of successful entrepreneurial ventures. The center provides educational support for aspiring and current entrepreneurs, and fosters cross campus and inter-institutional collaboration on the inclusion of entrepreneurship theory and practice for all disciplines. Faculty and staff of the center provide expertise to other organizations that work for economic development, including the SBTDC with which it shares offices.
Through its distance and residential undergraduate and master´s level programs in entrepreneurship, WCU´s center offers practical hands-on education and service-learning activities facilitated by a faculty of experienced entrepreneurs. The center endeavors to provide students with the skills necessary to think creatively, to successfully launch their own businesses, or to work with an employer in launching and growing an entrepreneurial venture.
For more information, contact Dr. Robert Carton, head of WCU´s Department of Entrepreneurship, Sales and Marketing, and Hospitality and Tourism, at 828-227-3984 or rcarton(at)wcu(dot)edu.

Gold's GymRead MoreSince its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates along to the pulsating soundtracks of Les Mills routines. Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.41 Mercedes WayEdgewood, NY US
Blink FitnessRead MoreBlink Fitness strives to make habitual exercise a natural, necessary component in its clients? daily lives. It does so by designing clean, practical gyms stripped of gimmicks and frills, stocked with sleek green equipment, and staffed by welcoming, motivating trainers. At each location, guests can choose from more than 150 Life Fitness and Precor machines that dream of boosting someone's strength and cardio capacity.

For those who want an inspirational push and a targeted program, 30-minute personal-training sessions can be booked one at a time or in 5- or 10-session packages.480 Suffolk AvenueBrentwood, NY US
La Espiguita Soccer AcademyRead MoreIn the right light, you can almost see how the 8,500-square-foot indoor soccer field, with its high ceiling and vast depth, was once a movie theater. Back then, it must have taken a lot of imagination to foresee the space as it is now—with painted stadium murals on the walls and competition lines drawn on the floor—but that's just how owner Miguel Garzon envisioned it. Today, the space is home to youth soccer lessons as well as adult leagues and tournaments. After all the soccer balls are put away, the facility spends some time each week as a salsa dance hall and a private event space for birthdays, club nights, and office parties.1795 Brentwood RoadBrentwood, NY US
New Image GymnasticsRead MoreThough there are many apparatuses inside the gym, the most employed tool at New Image Gymnastics is invisible. That's because it's positive reinforcement—the trainers rely on supportive comments and cheery attitudes as the key source of their students' motivation. This approach applies whether they're coaching toddlers through a padded obstacle course or helping teenagers perfect a competitive routine. Their classes welcome 18-month- to 18-year-olds, and the fully trained staff monitors each student as he or she builds strength, balance, and self-esteem.111 Wilshire BoulevardBrentwood, NY US

DENVER - AUGUST 29: Quarterback Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos warms up prior to facing the Pittsburgh Steelers during preseason NFL action at INVESCO Field at Mile High on August 29, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
The Jets bragged all week that they could handle Tim Tebow. They couldn't have been more wrong. On the biggest play of the night, Tebow beat a Jets blitz around the corner and ran 20 yards for the winning touchdown with 58 seconds left to play. Understanding exactly why the Jets, protecting a 13-10 lead, would send the house on a third and four in that situation is a question that does not have any acceptable answer. All you had to do was make sure that the Broncos got nothing more than a field goal at that point in the game and the Jets had to try for the big play instead of the smart play. And they got a 17-13 loss to a team that had no business beating them as a result. For nearly 60 minutes they crushed everything the Broncos tried to do offensively, but they couldn't make one play with the game on the line, and they lost because of it. That means they are 5-5 with flickering chances of making the playoffs because they simply cannot figure out a way to play good football on a w...

After a heated markup hearing on Wednesday, the House Natural Resources Committee voted to send four bills that would amend the Endangered Species Act (ESA) to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. All four bills were sponsored by Republican representatives, and the Committee voted almost exclusively upon partisan lines, with Republicans voting for and Democrats voting against sending the bills to the full House. One Democrat, Representative Jim Costa (D-Calif.), voted in support of H.R. 4315, voicing his opinion that "[i]t's past time for targeted reforms to the Endangered Species Act." To the contrary, Representative Rush Holt (D-N.J.) argued that there is no need to reform the ESA because the ESA "has been one of the most, if not the most, successful environmental bills over the last few decades." Environmental groups immediately criticized the bills, arguing they would put endangered species at greater risk of becoming extinct and would make it harder to enforce the ESA through citizens' suits.
As we previously reported, the bills would:
– Require online publication of the "best scientific and commercial data available" that is the basis for ESA decision-making (H.R. 4315, "21st Century Endangered Species Transparency Act");
– Require federal agencies to disclose certain expenditures, including the amount of funds expended in ESA-related lawsuits, the number of employees dedicated to ESA litigation, and the amount of attorneys' fees paid to successful ESA litigants (H.R. 4316, "Endangered Species Recovery Transparency Act");
– Require use of information provided by state, tribal, and county governments in decision-making under the ESA (H.R. 4317, "State, Tribal, and Local Species Transparency and Recovery Act);
– Impose a cap of $125 per hour on the government's reimbursement of attorneys' fees under the ESA (H.R. 4318, "Endangered Species Litigation Reasonableness Act").
The bills will now be sent to the House floor, though there is no timetable scheduled for when a vote will occur.

=== Hamilton, Rosberg rivalry continues in Canada === Montreal, QC (SportsNetwork.com) - Mercedes teammates Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg claim they have resolved their differences from Monaco two weeks ago, and both drivers are looking forward to this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix. There has been growing tension between Hamilton and Rosberg during the season, and it reached a new height in the Monaco Grand Prix. Rosberg started on the pole and led all 78 laps to win the Monaco GP for the second year in a row. After the race had concluded, Rosberg and Hamilton kept their distance from each other. There were no congratulations or handshakes. Hamilton was furious with Rosberg in qualifying for the Monaco GP when Rosberg, who held the provisional pole, ran wide and had to pull over on to an escape road. Hamilton was making his final run at the same time as his teammate's incident, but Hamilton had to slow his pace, as the yellow flags were displayed, preventing him from a possibility of winning the pole. In Monaco, Rosberg ended Hamilton's four-race winning streak. Rosberg also reclaimed the lead in the Formula One world championship standings. He has accumulated 122 points for the season, compared to 118 for Hamilton. "I would say that the feeling of having won Monaco is better than the feeling of leading the standings, as it means having broken the rhythm of Lewis - to put a stop to his winning streak," Rosberg said. Both drivers have recently spoken, in hopes of resolving their issues from Monaco. "We did talk to put that behind us," Rosberg said. "More than that, I don't want to say. I want to find a sound compromise between the interests of the fans and the team's interests, because there is always the tendency that the media blow up stories unnecessarily. Remember what frenzy was created in Monaco. We did talk about that. And now it's history." Hamilton did note that the feud between Rosberg and him has been "overblown" by the media. "We spoke after the race, and just like friends, we have our ups and downs," Hamilton said. "We've known each other a long, long time, so it's done and dusted. We look forward to working together to try to help this team win the constructors' championship." Mercedes has been the dominant team this year, with Hamilton or Rosberg winning the first six grand prix and qualifying sessions. On Friday, Fernando Alonso from Ferrari had the quickest lap in the first practice session. Alonso made a lap around Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in 1 minute, 17.238 seconds. Hamilton was second on the charts and Rosberg third. In the second practice session, held later in the day, Hamilton had the fastest lap in 1:16.118, followed by Rosberg's lap in 1:16.293. Sebastian Vettel from Red Bull was third in that session. Vettel, the four-time and defending F1 world champion, won last year's Canadian GP for the first time. Hamilton is the only active driver who has multiple victories in the Canadian GP. Hamilton scored his first career F1 grand prix win and pole victory in this race in 2007. He also won in Canada in 2010 and '12. All three of those wins came when he drove for McLaren. "I guess there are certain tracks you like more than others and this is one of those circuits I particularly like," Hamilton said. "I really like coming out to Canada, I always have a great response from the fans here." Series: Formula One. Date: Sunday, June 8. Race: Canadian Grand Prix. Site: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. Track: 2.709-mile (4.361-kilometer), 14-turn road course. Start Time: 2 p.m. ET. Laps: 70. Miles: 189.694 (305.270 km). 2013 Winner: Sebastian Vettel. Television: NBC. 06/06 16:59:20 ET

GU15: IWSL Division 'B' Champions
This winter, Northwind teams participated in Chicagoland Indoor Soccer League's inaugural season at the new PrivateBank Fire Pitch Dome. Our teams competed against competitive travel clubs from throughout the Chicago area and made strong showings across the board. Special congratulations to our teams which finished first in their divisions: U8 Boys Blue, U10 Girls Blue and U12 Girls White & Blue. We are extremely proud of their achievements.
BU9 White: NISL White Division Champions
Vision: To provide world class competitive youth soccer programs that enrich children with focus on player development.
Mission: To develop and deliver quality youth soccer programs, which promote a fun, family environment based on the AYSO Philosophies of: Everyone plays, Balanced teams, Open Registration, Positive Coaching & Good Sportsmanship and Player Development.
What is Chicago Northwind Soccer Club?
A: Chicago Northwind SC is an elite travel soccer program offered to both Boys and Girls, located along the Chicago Northside Lakefront. Northwind is ever-growing, with a current enrollment of 300 players on 25 teams, ranging in age from U8 through High School. Girls teams play in the highly competitive Illinois Women's Soccer League (IWSL), while the Boys teams compete in the equally challenging Northern Illinois Soccer League (NISL).
Who are the coaches?
A: Northwind currently has 50 licensed coaches and professional trainers. With player development as the primary focus, we have a player to coach/trainer ratio of 6 to 1 as an average. The ratios are even more favorable in the younger age groups. This ensures each player receives the highest level of attention as is possible to enable them to reach as high a level of performance as they are willing to seek.
What makes Northwind different from other travel clubs?
A: Soccer is the ultimate team sport and nothing leads to better player and team development than superior training and balanced playing time. With that in mind, each player within Northwind is guaranteed by club rule to play in at least half of every game. By adhering to this philosophy, Northwind ensures each player and each team ascend to their highest potential.
What is the relationship between Northwind and AYSO?
A: We are proud to be sponsored and supported by AYSO Region 418 Chicago Lakefront. This relationship makes Northwind the club for those players that have a true love for the game. When a player is in Northwind, they are a part of not just one, but two soccer teams. Not only are players able to compete at the highest levels of competitive club soccer, but they have the opportunity to share their love for the game with players of all abilities through the AYSO Primary Program. The game schedules do not conflict, thus players get twice the amount of soccer as compared to other travel soccer clubs.
What are the seasons of play?
A: There is a Fall season that runs September to November. In addition, there is a Spring season that runs April to June. All teams enjoy competition in not only their league games, but in both a Fall and Spring tournament.
How often do the teams train?
A: Each team trains twice per week for 90 minutes with their designated professional trainers and coaches during the Fall and Spring seasons. In addition, Northwind has both an integrated goal keeper training curriculum and a Speed/Agility/Quickness (SAQ) program for those seeking even more development. There is also a 12 week Winter indoor training program that each team participates in once per week from early January through March.
How are players selected to the program?
A: There is an active recruitment process throughout the Fall and Spring seasons, and Northwind holds open tryouts each spring to determine teams for the following Fall and Spring seasons. Many gender age groups have multiple teams, however we do not guarantee a roster spot to everyone who attends a tryout. Being there are limited roster spots available, players are placed on teams with those of comparable ability so as to allow them the best possible development and competitive environment.
What is the cost of the program?
A: The cost of the program is currently $1,500 per year. This includes uniforms, all league games, Fall, Winter and Spring training, 2 tournaments, plus the goal keeper and SAQ training programs. This fee is pro-rated for the High School programs that only participate in club soccer for half of the year. This makes Northwind one of the most cost-effective and comprehensive soccer programs in the city of Chicago.
If you have additional questions, please reach out to us directly at: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thank you for your interest in Chicago Northwind Soccer Club, and we look forward to meeting your competitive soccer needs.

James Cash to Retire From Microsoft Board of Directors
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Microsoft Corp. today announced that James I. Cash Jr., Ph.D., emeritus James E. Robison professor at the Harvard Business School, has decided not to seek re-election to Microsoft's board of directors at the company's 2009 shareholder meeting.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)
Cash, who joined the Microsoft board in May 2001, said that he has enjoyed working with his colleagues on the board, but was stepping down due to increasing pressure on his time from other professional and personal commitments.
"Jim has brought tremendous wisdom and judgment to our board, as well as keen insights into our enterprise business efforts based on his academic work at Harvard," said Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive officer. "We appreciate all of his contributions and we will certainly miss his leadership and perspective."
"This was a difficult decision. I have tremendous respect for my colleagues on the Microsoft board, and I have enjoyed the work we've done together over the past eight years," Cash said. "Microsoft has a tremendous innovation pipeline coming to market over the next two years, so the company is well-positioned for growth as the economy improves."
With Cash's departure, the Microsoft board will have nine members: Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft; Steve Ballmer; Dina Dublon, former chief financial officer of JPMorgan Chase; Raymond V. Gilmartin, former chairman, president and chief executive officer of Merck & Co. Inc.; Reed Hastings, founder, chairman and CEO of Netflix Inc.; Maria M. Klawe, president, Harvey Mudd College; David F. Marquardt, general partner at August Capital; Charles H. Noski, former vice chairman of AT&T Corp.; and Dr. Helmut Panke, former chairman of the board of management at BMW AG.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.
