I just pulled the old Ice bucket assembly out and replaced it with the new one. Couldn't get any easier.

CustomerJOHN from KINGSFORD MI
I removed the ice drawer,dumped out the ice and found the front end of the clear plastic auger and the crusher housing cover were broken. To dissassemble the auger system, I removed the phillips head screws that hold the crusher-dispenser onto the drawer, took off the washer and extrernal snap-ring from the auger shaft end. After removing the auger assebly, I pressed in on two plastic catches (on the dispenser housing) and gently pried the dispenser from the drawer with a small flat screwdriver. Then I removed the plastic nut from the end of the auger. Ass'y was much easier once the parts arrived. This repair would probably be too much for the average homeowner.
CustomerGary from Spring Hill FL
We ordered the basket with auger and all I had to do was take the old one out and slide the new one in. EASY !
ToolsPliers, Screw drivers
CustomerPhil from Loomis CA
Repair was simple; unscrew and unsnap the various pieces, and snap-and-screw it back to together. But what a disappointing design. Between replacing seized solenoids (twice) and plastic parts, this through-the-door dispenser "feature" is a maintenance money pit. Sure glad that PartSelect can provide the parts quickly.
CustomerJaci from Grand Island NE
Shipping service was great> Ordered on a Friday, received it on Tuesday. Slipped out the old one and put the new one in and it works great
CustomerSteve from Georgetown TX
Replaced entire ice bucket and auger assembly (one piece).
CustomerMario from Glenmoore PA
CustomerBonnie J. from Las Vegas NV
I took the ice bucket out and looked at it carefully. The auger was breaking apart little by little. I went on-line to find what part I needed. I came to Part Select and they had a diagram telling exactly what part would solve my problem. I ordered it online and it arrived, nicely packed about four days later. I took out the old ice bucket with the broken auger and replaced it with the new one (which I washed out before installing). It was so easy and I didn't have to pay a repairman to do it. The price was reasonable, too. I have this site bookmarked in case anything else needs to be replaced. It's amazing what you can do yourself!
CustomerDavid from Punta Gorda FL
pulled out broken bucket and auger assy. and slid in the replacement. works great so far. The easiest part was ordering the part and it didn't take very long at all to get it. Customer Service was very good at getting the job done. Thanks
CustomerMichael from Las Vegas NV
Repair was as easy as could be...All I had to do was slide out the old bucket and slide in the new one. The only problem was Partselect initially shipped the wrong bucket/auger unit. Upon being notified of the error, they shipped out a new one and I received it three days later. The quality seems the same as the original part, and the Partselect price was almost 35% less than from the mfg. I would definitely order from them again!
CustomerVictor from Houston TX
I replaced the ice tray with a new one. Could not tell what was broken in the tray, so I just purchased a new one, as the repair man service charge is 60.00 and then you have to pay for the part.
CustomerGeorge from Brighton MI
Remove the ice dispenser bucket and auger assembly from box. Washed the assembly. Opened freezer door. Removed old assembly. Slid new assembly into place. End of problem.
Customerrobert from troutdale OR
Open freezer door, remove old drawer, insert new drawer (after washing), close freezer door. Saved old drawer for possible spare parts.
CustomerJerry from Henderson TX
The first repair 2 years ago was due to the plastic auger that moves the cubes forward had broken. Recently we had began to notice small piece of plastic in our ice water. Finally the plastic piece that keeps multiple cubes from falling through the chute broke. I decided this time just to replace the whole auger and bucket assembly. Pulled the old one out... put the new one in, and alot less agravation than replacing parts.
CustomerJames from Elmhurst IL
Removed old ice dispenser Bucket assembly and installed new by hand. No tools needed. PartSelect is a great place for repair parts. Super fast delivery.

Please note that having an assessment does not always mean we will give you a service.
What happens next?
If we cannot offer you a service, we will tell you about other people who might be able to help, like health services and other organisations.
If we can offer you a service, we will:
Your individual budgets
Your individual budget is the money we can give you if you have had an assessment that shows you need social care support.
For more information, we have an easy to read leaflet called 'An easy guide to individual budgets'.

This is part I of an ongoing series about home curing fresh olives. Last month I told you all about a cool olive company called Penna- Great Olives and directed you to take a look at their products. I was also chosen to do my own home curing with a box of olives they sent to me. I received that box yesterday and began the process of home curing.
Look at this box of bright green fresh olives!
I had never seen a fresh olive until the day this box came. Now for an idea of how large these olives are, take a look at this next photo.
Some were even larger than the olive in the photo. I think the box weighed about 2.5 pounds and I really don't know what the cost would be if you were to buy them yourself but I am certain you could contact Great Olives for information on pricing.
The first step in curing olives at home is deciding on the method you will want to use. There are several that can be used and I chose the one that seemed easiest to me, since this is my first time trying this. Penna gives three methods at their blog. The one I decided to use is for Mediterranean Partida Style olives using fresh green olives.
The second step is to wash the olives in clean cool water.
Sort through the olives to be sure there aren't any with spots from little bugs that enjoy making a home inside the olive.
The next step is to break open the flesh of the olive so the very bitter flavor in the raw olive, something called oleuropein can leach out. This substance is water-soluble and as you daily change the water, slowly the bitterness will come out by osmosis. Who knew this would be a very scientific process? Most cooking and baking is scientific because there are chemical changes going on in every recipe. More about that in another post. Onto the olive curing process. I began the next step by having the plastic container I would use for the water curing next to the board I was preparing the olives on. I sliced into each olive instead of using a mallet as the instructions suggested. I decided to consult a few other blogs for olive curing and decided that bruising the olives with a mallet would not be smart, so I sliced them.
Next I placed all the sliced olives into the bowl, making sure all of them were submerged in water. They will begin to oxidize and discolor if they are not in the water. I put a plate in the container to keep them down. I happened to have a bowl with a lid that fit the olives and water perfectly so there isn't much room for them to float up.
Each day for the next month or so I will be changing the water daily to remove the bitter oleuropein. Afterwards I will begin the brining process. Stay tuned.
Again I need to thank my son Jake for taking all of these photos except for the last one. Can you see a difference? He knows how to use our camera much better than I can.
Be sure to visit Penna- Great Olives on Facebook and at their site for more information about home curing.

HTC has come to a deal with Dropbox, the popular cloud storage company, and is going to be able to allow users to utilize the service with some of their new phones. They will be offering up to 5 GB of free storage on unlocked HTC (Sense 3.5) phones that are sold. This deal shows a new strategy for Dropbox, one that relies heavily on targeting specific phones for launches.
This should be added incentive for users to sign-up with the company and to also get the new phone from HTC. Adding additional deals like this definitely make her a more popular and will help the company continued to grow moving forward into the future. This new deal probably will not make it their highest selling phone of all time, but it will undoubtedly give consumers another reason to purchase the device.
The first device that is going to be released that is going to have this new feature it is going to be the HTC RHYME. There is no current concrete release date for this device you can just expected to become available at some point in the very near future. The deal between HTC and Dropbox is one that will probably be duplicated at some point in the very near future with other devices. It shows that both companies are looking to expand and are looking to make deals with other providers in order to add incentives and value to their products.
The HTC and Dropbox deal it's going to be over-the-top and will allow them to put together a good plan for users. They're going to have to quickly and efficiently market this to possible consumers in order to be able to draw more users to their new devices. HTC has positioned themselves as one of the top providers for high quality smart devices.
PureMobile carries wide range of cell phone accessories and unlocked HTC phones such as HTC Sensation, HTC Inspire, etc..

Hi guys,
I've been attempting to improve my strafe and circle jumping recently. Previously I was content with just being able to pass qztraining and lane 1 of raztrainql but I wanted to improve upon that considerably. So with a bit of practice I managed to clear lanes 2 and 3. The improvement was due to faster flicks when changing strafe direction.
I cannot however get past lane 4. I can reach ~500 ups on the circle jump and reach about 1050 ups right before I impact on final ledge but it's just short of allowing me to reach the other side. I can't see what I'm doing wrong so I'm hoping you can look over the demo and tell what I'm missing (besides the ledge :P )

--Tis a shame we can't simply appreciate the effort, even if we don't completely understand it or wouldn't be interested in doing it ourselves.--Well said.Anyone know the SKT (Slowest Known Time) for the JMT? I'll bet that person knows how to enjoy a view. Adam
Is it wrong to try and break a Fastest Known Time on a trail, run a mile under 4 minutes or break the world record in the mile, be the first to hike a long route (ala Skukra), climb a new route on a Big mountain, climb a new route on a Big rock, or be the youngest person to complete the Triple Crown of long hikes?It is this competitive nature in people that often leads to breaking new barriers. It shows what can be done, when most say it cannot. Speed hikes may not be of interest to the majority of members of BPL (myself included), just as doing the PCT with a SUL kit is probably not of interest to most here, or even doing the entire PCT in 6 months is not going to be done by most here. Should we disparage PCT hikers who take a break once a week and go into a town or even for taking several months out of life to hike it?These guys hiked the entire JMT (or maybe ran part of it). Did they miss something that someone who hikes it in 3 weeks will experience? I don't know, or even care. Everyone gets what they want out of their own hikes. Speed hikes are of little interest to me, but it is not my place to pass judgement on those who want to do them. But it is backpacking -- they carried a pack with all their food and gear, slept in the wilderness, and got home safely. I do each of these 3 things on all my trips. They just covered more miles per hour than I do.
Did they bring pencils?
Adam R. - "Anyone know the SKT (Slowest Known Time) for the JMT? I'll bet that person knows how to enjoy a view." Maybe not the record, but she probably does know how to enjoy the view.

In the start photo, both are wearing short socks. In the finish photo, one is wearing long socks. Are those support socks? Anti-scratch socks?
Any way you cut it, this is a very impressive athletic achievement. I also am intrigued by the mental breakdown that has been reported by many of the JMT attempts.It just too bad that folks have to pass judgement on how others choice to spend their time. But since this has headed in the judgement direction I want to share a post that Anish put on her Facebook page. For those who don't know she is very close to smashing Scott Williamson's PCT record by about 6 days if she finishes at current pace. One thing you will see in all of her pictures is that she has an ear to ear smile. But how can she smile, isn't an average of 46 miles per day misery and the wrong way to hike? Shouldnt she be smelling the flowers? You be the judge.from Anish on Facebook...."I imagine people may think I am a natural athlete, the girl who played sports all through school. The exact opposite is true. I was an overweight child, a bookworm who sat with her nose in an adventure book and daydreamed. I never exercised and couldn't make it around the track without walking. When I graduated high school I weighed 200lbs. I daydreamed of adventure, but the thing I daydreamed the most was that I would someday set a record. Not just any record though, an athletic record. I wanted so desperately to not be what I was. I hated my body and myself. I consoled myself by eating a bowls full of oreos and milk as though they were cereal. But somewhere deep inside I knew I was capable of doing something more. When I was 20 I met something that would forever change my life. A Trail. Though my first few hikes were miserable as I forced my body to work, I was enthralled. Trails took me on the adventures I craved and to beautiful, wondrous, wild places. I lost my heart and soul...and eventually 70 lbs...to the trails. Now, I am a few short days away from fulfilling my oldest daydream: setting an athletic record. I cry when I think about all the things I have overcome to get here, both on this hike and off. It makes me ever so grateful to that chubby girl who dared to dream big, audacious dreams. I am even more thankful that she grew up to be a woman courageous enough to make those dreams reality."
"what's so hypocritical is that the same people who trot out the famous HYOH are the very people who make up a large part of the slow poke snob group and criticize others who like to go fast."Art,Who/what is this "slow poke snob" club? Do they have a website? Annual dues? Where can we join?It seems more than a little ironically challenged to interpret "fastest performance of Beethoven's 9th" as ANYTHING other than a merely ironic commentary on the vastly different approaches to taking on the JMT. It was, and was intended to be, funny. It was obviously NOT a negative comment about this impressive accomplishment, or the person who did it, either by the original poster or those of us that gave it a +1. This seem to have sailed cleanly over your head sir. I know for sure I was never deprecating the achievement, and I suspect the other people who thought this comment valid/funny had not intended to do so either.In addition there were probably a dozen or so funny, equally ironic ways of responding and making your point back. Instead you chose the least interesting (and possibly most witless) possibility - to get a bee in you bonnet and comment nastily about how people you know nothing at all about never "tried to test ourselves at anything and have spent our entire lives simply smelling roses". You chose the least interesting way to reply, by setting up fictitious straw men, with made up attributes, to knock down when there was never any real slight to begin with.You Sir, are a bore. *throws down gauntlet and unsheathes rapier* ('cause that is just how we roll in the slow poke snob club)

You know, I like roses. Never remember seeing any in the High Sierras though.
"Never remember seeing any in the High Sierras though."Slow down next time. You can't miss 'em

I like smelling Sky Pilots though - and not just because it sounds like a Grateful Dead song.

Oh great sages of the Internet Hiking Forums,What is the optimum MPD to hike the JMT?I'm afraid if I hike too fast, I will not be enjoying myself.I hear many people talking about slowing down to enjoy the trail.So, the question is, what is the correct MPD to get optimum enjoyment, fulfillment and joy out of a hike?Seems a few people here know The One Correct Answer (TM).Being a poor, wandering soul, I do not posses this info. If someone could enlighten me, I'll be sure to hike the correct way.:)
The only person that speed hikes for the right reasons, is the one that does it, but doesnt tell anyone.
It isn't that I don't understand the people who try to set these records. What I don't understand are the people who actively support these runners on the trail by bringing them stuff. The whole reason I'm on this site is because I hate carrying my own stuff so I'm trying to get ride of most of it, so I have no interest in hiking over a pass to carry something for my brother, let alone a complete stranger.

I don't know Hal, but I know Mike, heck of a nice guy- congrats to both of them. Seems like there is getting to be more interest in FKT's, so it stands to reason that many are going to fall (and have fallen).Personally, I think the unsupported records are more inline with my thinking. There are a ton of places I would like to do a multi-day run/fast pack (JMT included), reading these accounts just gets the juices flowing even more :)
I used to enjoy, and be amazed by the abilities of the folks doing the big week-long adventure races. Just before I finally threw out my TV set for good I recall seeing it covered on a few cable TV shows. I haven't kept up with the sport at all since then. How is it going as a sport these days? Hopefully the participants can make a reasonable living. Seems like it would take a lot more mental toughness than any professional sport where you get to sleep in a bed every night - probably a very similar set of mental (as well as physical of course) skills to those of the people who can set these kinds of records.Do the highest ranking teams still do it on sleep deprivation, or do they have some rules to discourage this? A part of the slowpoke snob club I definitely would discourage sleep deprivation, though I have to admit it seemed to make for good TV. My naive picture is that on the last few days doing the JMT so fast you might be in a bit of a haze. I'd be worried about taking a bad fall, but fortunately I will never have to worry about it. I would probably insist on stopping for about about a 10 hour nap about the middle of the second day. I do remember some of the adventure racers more or less carrying one of their comrades in an advanced stage of sleep-deprived disorientation. Through leech infested rivers no less. Yup, damn fine TV. And yes, also very amazing. I don't see it as applicable in ANY way to MY life, but freaking amazing.

LISBON – The Town Council voted unanimously this week to support a resolution calling for the repeal of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act that passed earlier this year.
It was done without doing any research at all, Town Supervisor James W. Armstrong said.
The law is a comprehensive gun law reform package that includes background checks on all ammunition purchases and private firearm sales, the registration of guns with one or more military feature and a ban on magazines capable of holding more than seven rounds.
County Legislator Mark H. Akins, R-Lisbon, said, Its a huge Second Amendment issue. The problem with the law is that it was pushed through under a necessity bill.
Mr. Akins was referring to the message of necessity that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo placed on the NYSAFE Act, allowing it to skip the three-day aging process most bills have to go through before being brought before the state legislature for a vote.
Mr. Akin said he didnt believe a 600 page document introduced and then 20 minutes later voted on and approved was good enough for such a massive reform.
Mr. Armstrong said, They should have had input from a lot of different entities.
Im a hunter and most of my family is, Mr. Armstrong said, adding that he doesnt think the state legislature understands guns as well as they should.
Its a different area, he said of the north county as compared to urban centers.
Mr. Akin said, There are parts of it that are good and parts of it that are horrendous. Its going to make every gun owner a felon the eyes of the law.
NYSAFE does increase the penalties for murdering a first responder and possessing a firearm on school property to an automatic felony charge. It also stiffened penalties for criminals who possess firearms.
Assault weapons owned in the state prior to the passage of NYSAFE have to be registered by April 15, 2014. According to the law, anyone who knowingly fails to register their assault rifle will be charged with a misdemeanor.
Its not a hunting or safety issue, Mr. Akin said, Its a Second Amendment issue.

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- As a result of a legal settlement in November, you may start paying more to use your credit card.
New regulations went into effect Sunday that allow merchants in 40 states to pass along surcharge fees to their customers every time they swipe.
Maine is 1 of 10 states that has a law banning merchant surcharges, which means we will not see these fees here.
Massachusetts and Connecticut are included in that, but New Hampshire and Vermont are open to the new fees. That also means, if you shop online, you could be hit with the fee there.
The next thing to know is the surcharge fee can only be applied to credit cards, debit cards are off the hook.
For years, merchants have been paying a surcharge fee every time you swipe your card at their store. As a result of this legal settlement in November, merchants now have the ability to pass those charges on to you, the consumer. That surcharge fee can range from just over 1% to 4% depending on where you're shopping and the type of credit card you're using.
Just because it's now allowed, merchants won't necessarily choose to pass that fee along to the consumer. Big box stores like Wal Mart have already said they'll continue to pay it themselves. If a store does choose to charge the surcharge fee, they must display that at their entrance, the front counter, and on your receipt.
Rebekah Higgins, with the Maine Credit Union League, says she understands why a smaller business would pass along the fee, but it could scare customers away.
VISA breaks down the surcharge into more detail on their website, click here for more information.

Famous for its high-quality artisans, Thailand is the place to buy antiques and collectibles.
Bangkok likes to market itself as something of a fashion hub, and with some justification.
