Sahm's...do you have a life outside of your kids?
Mother to Aiden Zane 1/4/03
Mia Korynn 6/11/09
I'm one of the lucky ones. I have a best friend that is also a stay at home mom that's been my best friend since we were ten. We've literally known each other over half our lives. It helps to have her to talk to whenever we get the urge.
I also have several hobbies that occupy my time. TV shows and books occupy my brain and allow me to detox from the day in the evening.
I'm sure the time will come where I need some me time but it hasn't yet.
We've been out a few times, with DH, my mom, and my best friend. The only thing I've done alone was go and vote last night, lol. Other than that every time I go out I have one or both kids. I'm not bothered by it :)
I wanted desperately to be a SAHM, going back to work when DD was born almost killed me. So I'm still feeling like the luckiest woman on the planet now that I am living my dream of being home :)

I am a SAHM to a 3 yo and a 2.5 week old. Luckily, I have a photography business on the side. I think I'd be lost without it. I love doing it and it gets me out of the house. Plus, I get to make a little bit of money to help with bills. Also, DH and I think it's important to have date night. So we often go on date night and spend time with friends (with and without the kids). Find something to do for you or you will go crazy!
loving wife to my Navy vet Ben, SAHM to my funny man Mason and the happiest baby Larkin!
nope. i work at home and have a disabled dh ontop of it, so i don't have much time for a life.

in response to Robert Shaver
But if I push and hold the voice-over button to start the recitation of the playlists and podcasts
Yes. That's what it should do.
the function of the Next/Fast-Forward button will no longer let me navigate to the next track in a playlist.
Yes, that sounds correct as well. Once you press and hold the VoiceOver button, you are in the mode where you need to select next PLAYLIST you want to use, not select the next song.
This article says, "When you're listening to the playlist menu, you can press Next/Fast-forward or Previous/Rewind to move forward or backward in the playlist menu."
The "playlist menu" is the list of playlists (and podcasts) that VoiceOver is reading off, not a list of songs on a the current playlist. So, once VoiceOver starts reading off the list of playlists (and podcasts), pressing Next and Previous buttons lets you move quickly through the list of playlists (and podcasts) to find the one you want to use. Then, pressing the Play/Pause button (when VoiceOver says the desired playlist name) lets you select that playlist. After the playlist is selected the Next and Previous buttons will again let you go to the next and previous song (on that playlist).
So, based on your description, I think it's working normally...

The PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW reports how some ex-NFL stars are still cashing in on their popularity through endorsement payments to the players' union.
Over $117 million has been paid by companies to the NFL Players Association to use their stars to hawk their products. For example, Peyton & Eli Manning received a combined $4 million for their selling success in 2005-06.
Yet, you don't have to be an active player to get such money from the NFLPA. Former Cowboys RB and "Dancing With The Stars" champ Emmitt Smith tapped in $757,000, while John Elway snapped up $616,000 and Joe Montana struck gold with $556,000 in endorsement payments.
Even gridironers who have gone to that Great End Zone In The Sky can still rake in the dough. Ten dearly departed players earned over $500,000 combined from beyond the grave, paced by Walter Payton's sweet take of $267,000.
But not everyone is happy with their payout. A group of former athletes led by ex-Browns DB Bernie Parrish claim that the NFLPA is skimping on some of the promotional payments to many retirees with medical problems, and pocketing a large chunk for themselves.
Union chief & Hall of Famer Gene Upshaw was given $2.4 million from the promo fund, while players like concussion-strained Merril Hoge only got about $6,000.
Still, it could be worse. O.J. Simpson has received the same amount from the NFLPA that most of you reading this have gotten in your mailbox - zero.

The Consequences of Easy Credit Policy, High Gearing, and Firms' Profitability in Pakistan's Textile Sector: A Panel Data Analysis
Hussain, Ijaz, The Lahore Journal of Economics
This study uses panel data on 75 textile firms for the period 2000-09 to examine the consequences of an easy credit policy followed by high gearing, increased financing costs, and other determinants of corporate profitability. Five out of nine explanatory variables-including gearing, financing costs, inflation, tax provisions, and the industry's capacity utilization ratio-have a negative impact, while the remaining four variables-working capital management, asset turnover, exports, competitiveness, and devaluation-have a positive impact on firms' profitability.
Keywords: Easy credit, energy crisis, corporate profitability, textile sector, panel data, Pakistan.
JEL Classification: L78, L69, F14.
(ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.)
1. Introduction
Both the nonfinancial corporate sector (private and public enterprises) and financial sector play a critical role in a country's economic growth, because they produce goods and services for local as well as foreign markets, create job opportunities, contribute to government tax revenues to finance public expenditure on economic and social infrastructure, and sometimes also to foreign exchange reserves, thus playing an important part in the forward and backward linkages of the value chain.
Figure 1 shows that the profitability of Pakistan's textile sector has varied substantially across firms and over time, declining from almost 10 percent in 2000 to near 0 percent in 2009. This study examines the factors responsible for the variability of firms' profitability in the country's textile sector during this period.
As Figure 2 shows, the sector's gearing ratio peaked in 2005 due to the negative real interest rate followed by an explosion in its financing costs, which, along with the removal of the textile quota and acute energy crisis, later hampered the sector's profitability and ability to repay its debt and financing costs.
The State Bank of Pakistan (2010, December) reports loans of PKR 705.2 billion to the textile sector by the end of 2009, of which nonperforming loans accounted for PKR 171.5 billion, which constituted 31.3 percent of all total nonperforming loans. The gravity of the situation is evident from the fact that there were 189 textile firms in existence in 2004, which number fell to 164 in 2010 with the closure of 25 companies. This makes it important to understand the consequences of an easy credit policy followed by high gearing, increased financing costs, and other determinants of corporate profitability for textile firms in Pakistan.
The paper is organized as follows: Section 2 provides a review of the literature. Section 3 describes the data sources used, variables, and methodology. Section 4 presents our findings, and Section 5 puts forward a conclusion and policy recommendations.
2. A Review of the Literature
The empirical research on the determinants of corporate profitability can be classified into two categories: (i) structure-conduct performance models, and (ii) firm effect models (Mauri & Michaels, 1998; Schmalensee, 1989; Stierwald, 2010). The first explain profitability based on industry effects (concentration) while the second explain profitability based on variations in firms' characteristics (Stierwald, 2010). As noted by Bain (1951), a high industry concentration allows firms to exercise higher monopoly power in the market and makes collusion possible between firms, and thus gives them an opportunity to earn more profits. Barriers to entry of new firms allow existing firms to earn higher profits (Bain, 1956).
Lambson (1991), Jovanovic (1982), and Bartelsman and Doms (2000) highlight the persistent variation in firms' productivity. Demsetz (1973) points out that there is substantial variation in firms' characteristics, and that firms with higher productivity or efficiency earn higher profits. Ammar, Hanna, Nordheim, and Russell (2003) note that small, medium, and large firms differ significantly from one other in terms of their profit rate-profitability drops as firms grow beyond USD 50 million in sales. …

Ok this project was SO fun to mess with. Photoshop is the best thing to mess with when one is supposed to be working on other projects...I know alot of them look similar but I promise the color balance and other tiny things are different on them...there are so many because they look awesome but when I was grouping them they would look better with more green and such...but I think they stand well alone too. (these are all done by layering fractal pieces and changing colors and such)

Whereas "Salafists originally are supposedly not violent," and the Salafis whom Gilles Kepel encountered in Europe in the 1980s were "totally apolitical", by the mid 1990s he met some who felt jihad in the form of "violence and terrorism were justified to realize their political objectives". The combination of Salafi alienation from all things non-Muslim—including "mainstream European society"—and violent jihad created a "volatile mixture". "When you're in the state of such alienation you become easy prey to the jihadi guys who will feed you more savory propaganda than the old propaganda of the Salafists who tell you to pray, fast and who are not taking action."
According to Kepel, Salafist jihadism combined "respect for the sacred texts in their most literal form, ... with an absolute commitment to jihad, whose number-one target had to be America, perceived as the greatest enemy of the faith."

CBI champ Oregon looks to follow VCU's lead
David Fox
Rivals.com College Basketball
If recent history is an indication, a win in the College Basketball Invitational, despite being a footnote during March Madness, can mean big things, even if it comes by the thinnest of margins.
Matthew Knight Arena's near-invisible halfcourt line helped Oregon win the CBI title this season. The Ducks' new arena has a gaudy floor design, but the halfcourt line does not stand out. In the CBI final in Eugene, a Creighton player inadvertently crossed the thin line for an over-and-back violation. The turnover led to a winning shot with one second left by forward E.J. Singler in a 71-69 victory that sealed the Ducks' title.
Dana Altman and Oregon, playing the postseason in relative obscurity was worth it.
"Our decision to play in the CBI was, 'If we're going to do this, we're going to win it,' " said Singler, the younger brother of Duke star Kyle Singler. "We came across that we wanted to play and try to get as much experience as possible."
Despite the anonymity of the CBI, the champion deserves a second look. Or a first look for viewers without HDNet, the broadcast partner of the tournament.
Last season's CBI champion -- a title decided in a best-of-three series -- followed up with a trip to the NCAA tourney's Final Four this season.
VCU swept Saint Louis in the 2010 CBI, the first indication coach Shaka Smart might have a knack for winning in the postseason. VCU may have been one of the last teams into the NCAA tournament as a member of the First Four this season, but the Rams took advantage by defeating USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas on the way to the Final Four.
Victories over the College of Charleston, Boston University and Saint Louis in the CBI last season were key building blocks for the team that eventually lost to Butler in a national semifinal.
"We were still getting to know each other," Smart said before the Final Four. "When we played in that tournament, it gave us a phenomenal opportunity to continue building and learning and playing a lot of our young guys."
While the CBI isn't the NCAA tournament, it is an extra two weeks of tournament basketball and, more important, an extra two weeks of practice.
"We knew the CBI wasn't the caliber of the other tournaments, but we went in with a good mindset," Singler said. "If you have a good mindset, you come out with wins."
Beyond the CBI itself, VCU and Oregon have a few things in common. For starters, both teams won the CBI with a coach in his first season. In addition, both teams lost their best player after the CBI.
After defeating Saint Louis, VCU star forward Larry Sanders decided to turn pro a year early and was a first-round pick. But nearly every other key player from the CBI team -- Joey Rodriguez, Bradford Burgess, Brandon Rozzell and Jamie Skeen -- returned in 2010-11.
Oregon is losing Joevan Catron, the Ducks' top scorer and rebounder. The Ducks also are losing senior guard Jay-R Strowbridge, while starting point guard Malcolm Armstead has announced he will transfer and attempt to play his senior season closer to his home in Florence, Ala. Armstead played two seasons with the Ducks after transferring in from Chipola College (Fla.).
But the Ducks will have Singler back, along with forwards Jeremy Jacob and Tyrone Nared and guard Garrett Sim.
"The momentum will be important if they use it and work their tails off," Altman said after the CBI title game. "They have to invest in the program like Joevan has these past five years."
There's also a solid recruiting class on its way to Eugene. Five-star guard Jabari Brown, the 26th-ranked player nationally, headlines a class of four high school signees, Minnesota transfer Devoe Joseph and junior college transfer Carlos Emory.
USC and Washington.
Oregon players also will have a better comfort level with Altman, who won 327 games and went to the NCAA tourney seven times in 16 seasons at Creighton. Altman wasn't the program's first choice as coach, far from it; reports indicated Oregon first tried to lure Mike Anderson, Tubby Smith, Jamie Dixon, Billy Donovan and Tom Izzo, among others, in a coaching search that lasted 41 days.
While Oregon was picked in the preseason to finish at the bottom of the Pac-10, the Ducks went 7-11 in league play and won more than 20 games for just the second time since 2003.
"It was difficult for our team to get with what he was trying to preach to us," Singler said. "We started playing better ... midway through the Pac-10 season. A lot of teams didn't want to play us."
Now, Oregon hopes the CBI experience, winning a tournament and extra practice will pay off next season like it did for VCU.
"We want expectations," Altman said after the CBI final. "Next year the league is going to be tougher and we're going to have to get a lot better. Higher expectations are a good thing. It just adds to the work we have to do as a team, for the players and as the coaching staff."

This is a great drugstore tanning product, bottom line I would repurchase and I would recommend this product for someone who needs an easy, quick and affordable tanning option.
Color: I have tan skin but no longer spend any time in the sun so it is now pretty washed out looking, I probably would buy the medium-tan version of this next time. The color is pretty subtle, the idea is that you build it up as you want, I find this great and it flatters my skin tone, but if you are very very pale with pink undertones it may lean a bit orange on you.
Formula: The foam formula is wonderful, super easy to use and dries VERY fast, no more waiting for your self tan to dry naked in the living room unable to sit on your own couch for fear of leaving tanner everywhere. There is no offensive scent and no worries about missing spots, as it blends out so easily. This formula is amazing!
The only negative I really have is that I don't find this to be overall very moisturizing, it feels nice for sure, but not enough to use in place of lotion.
I picked this up at CVS for less than $3 (sale), so for that price I am very happy.

I live in a cold northern climate where I don't get much sun, so I've used many gradual tanners. I've never had any problem with discoloration. But this one turned me as orange as a carrot after just two applications! I am outraged at how bad this product is. Also, it does have a bad smell, even though it claims it doesn't.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Black
Pros: lightly moisturizes, does add some color, the foam comes out well.
Cons: color didn't get dark enough! It doesn't look like a full tan like what it shows on the bottle, it does have an odor, splotches and streaks.
The product isn't terrible but it didn't really do it's job. I expected a dark tan but this just made me a tiny bit darker, and the streaks look like a burnt orange. Won't be rebuying.

I gave this 2 lipsticks because it is moisturizing and it smells pleasant. I am natually extremely pale (like corpse pale) and in an attempt to look more lively, I bought this.This product really didn't work for me. It looked streaky and splotchy, even though I was very careful while applying it. It was very orange and unnatural. It was very disappointing, because I thought Jergens was supposed to look natural on all skin tones. I guess not. I won't be buying this again.

I'm an extreamly pale individual. The lightest shade of mac is overly dark on me. For some reason my body just doesn't tan, if I stay out in the sun I'll just get burnt and after the burn goes away nata, same old ghost. This product gives me a nice tinted glow to my skin that makes me look a little more alive. It makes it a lot easier to use the kinds of foundations I want to use so that my skin will match them. I'll always have this as a staple item. It doesn't streek, doesn't look orange, and doesn't cause any side-effects to my sensitive skin.

I just bought this today.It is my first self tanner and I'm super excited to try it out! The sun really isn't so great for you in the long run so I figure fix the problem before it arises! (It also came with the facial moisturizer which I have a separate review for.)
I took a shower around 4 today. Did my normal thing in the shower; shave, exfoliate etc. got out put on bath and body works lotion and worked this really well into my skin. Then I washed my hands. I love that it doesn't have that nasty self-tanner smell and it dries super quick! It's now around 9:30 and my mom asked me if I had been in the sun at all today! This stuff is working super fast!
Granted I have only used it once so I will come back in a week and do a quick update on how everything is going!

This must be the best self-tanner in the history of the world. Not wanting to spend time in the sun, I've tried many tanners - lotions, gels, sprays, etc. This is the only one I have found that is just about perfect. The foam goes on and disintegrates immediately, spreading easily and smoothly. The color that develops gradually is (on me, at least) completely natural without a trace of orange. Zero streaks. Freckles and moles don't turn weird dark colors. There's no yucky smell. Recommend this tanner very highly.

Originally i was going to get a different sunless tanner(something by banana boat) but they were sold out. Out of options i quickly grabbed this and i have to say its one of my holy grail products. It applies like a dream, no waiting for an hour and no obnoxious stains on your clothes. And my skin is pretty pale. I tan quite easily but call me lazy. Nothing compares to a real beautiful tan...but not everyone has time to tan,am i right? This product gives a nice believeable tan from head to toe. For me, there is no smell, a slight maple-y scent,but nothing that will send your nostrils ablaze.I do use this on my face, which is acne prone and quite sensitive.no problems. But the few problems i have that make this a 4/5 is that if you arent careful in application you will get hands that look like they just came from the jersey shore. Gloves do work well, but just a word of caution.;) and the other is that this is not a totally streak free product. Rub with circular motion and make sure spots arent left out. Of course, this can be easily fixed by applying foam to that area the following day.
Overall a wonderful product i will be repurchasing,

I've been using this for about a week, and It gave me a nice orange/bronze color. Im originally a light skinned, and I only tried this because I found it in my br closet and thought i could use some color, only about half was left and it lasted me a week, using it on my whole body. I think its a good price, and I plan on repurchasing in the darker one next time to make me even more dark orange/bronze. I like it :) Its really easy to apply once you get used to it, since its foam, it dries in like 3 minutes, and doesnt make my clothes stick to me. I've noticed a few blotches, but nothing like putting in on the next day to even it out, and so on... I would NOT recommend putting it on your face because I did twice and my pores are clogged, I only broke out once, but it leaves my face really weird and my makeup doesn't look the same because my face is so clogged with this foam. it is kind of sticky and you have to rub it in very very well before it dries for it to be even. Anyways, i like the color of my skin for the most part

Best self- tanner hands down. Even better than the lotion. This goes on super quick, dries even faster and gives the whole body a great glow! I like also how the tan doesn't look fake and it doesn't give the streaky look. The bottle also will last for about a month or so if you use it every other day, maybe more. The smell isn't that horrific. Just put it on at night otherwise you are going to get people saying "is someone wearing self- tanner?" all day long. But if you are looking for that SUPER deep tan, this isn't for you. I have very pale skin and this gives me the perfect glow, so that says something. Go for the medium/ dark skin foam.

Investing in Oil and Gas- Services
Most experienced, sophisticated and qualified investors have just three questions when evaluating a business deal, or investment opportunity. Investors want to know what the odds of losing their capital will be. Investors want to know when they will begin making money after sending funds to participate in any investment offering. This is the development time risk. Three, Investors want to know how good the profit structure is, or more specifically, how much money they will make during the life of the investment? I can add a fourth and fifth concern which would be what tax write-offs are there, and finally, what liquidity is there going to be in the investment, and what's the exit strategy, if any?
Risk is of primary concern to anyone who is expecting to make money, and the deciding of who with, and where to invest hard earned money are the key, and hard questions. Upside, downside, and everything else in between are all factors when an intelligent investor analyzes any investment, and determines how much, or little to choose to invest. There are many types of risk…I would like to list some of them based on my experience, considerable research, and of course, my successes & failures over the years.
There is a people risk…finding the right people is absolutely essential, in fact I believe this to be the single most important requirement before doing any business…bad people screw-up great deals. Finding trained, experienced, motivated people who can work together while you develop the leases, and oil & gas fields you have so carefully selected is not easy. It can make or break-you. Relationships based on years of working together is your best insurance of getting the necessary development work done in timely fashion.
Track records are important, but hard to quantify in oil & gas, simply because like the movies, you are only as good as your last picture show. Well meaning, and extremely competent people, working with great teams, and putting a great deal together can lose, or not succeed with every endeavor, irregardless of their desire to do well, or regardless of their wonderful technical abilities and experience. It's really important to keep this in mind…however, working with incompetent people, or people who don't know how to get the job done, or regularly finish what they start isn't an acceptable outcome. You need to avoid these people…and there are excellent clues to look for when trying to make this determination.
The deal is of paramount importance, but how it's structured to provide; the upside, minimize downside, permit diversification, and be achievable at the same time, and in a reasonable period of time is a significant challenge…the premise of any oil & gas deal must be supportable with history, logic, geology, engineering, and just plain has to make good sense, for both the area and the time.
Some oil & gas drilling, and developmental areas in the US are intrinsically very risky for example…the Gulf Coast is one such area, where the faint of heart should not venture…costs are extremely high, as are the technical risks. Competition is brutal, and the big boys control the lay of the land…you've heard of the expression, 'my way, or the hi-way'? Previously older areas which have historically produced millions of barrels of oil still exist, and these areas have much less, or little risk, but may not have such exciting upside…higher prices in oil & gas now support the return to these areas even though depleted of their primary or previously recovered reserves of oil & gas…all because secondary drilling and recovery methods with new technology of course, can rival, and exceed the outcomes relative to rates of return, and upside you might get in the Gulf Coast states, or with offshore drilling programs. Actually, since the late 70's most of the middle east oil field are in secondary recovery, and are being water flooded, which is the principal means of recovering the last reserves in place in an oil field.
Finally, there is the price risk, or volatility risk…oil & gas are high, particularly oil prices, and they are going-up in the foreseeable future, or within the time lines we are investing, and developing new oil & gas projects planned during the next ten years…there will be alternate energy sources discovered and developed, and conservation efforts…but demand will be greater than supply capabilities based on my research.
Email me or call with questions or comments…maybe we can do some business in the future.

Nonnative Plants
NPS photo
Golden Gate has currently targeted the 22 most invasive non-native species for control. These species include: Monterey pine, blue gum eucalyptus, Monterey cypress, black acacia, thoroughwort, cotoneaster, helichrysum, Himalayan blackberry, tall fescue, European harding grass, French and Scotch broom, Cape ivy, Ox-eye daisy, pampas grass, yellow star thistle, periwinkle, gorse, capeweed, English ivy, and calla lilies. These invasive plant populations are considered under control due to a decade of volunteer, staff and grant expenditures. And despite the extensive urban perimeter around the park, only two new invasive species have established small populations within the park within the last decade.

Home > Guitars > Electric Guitars > Les Paul
The Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar is one of the most famous and iconic electric guitars of all time. Originally released in 1952 as a result of a collaboration between Lester William 'Les Paul' Polfus and Gibson guitars, the Les Paul rivalled the other popular electric guitar brands, producing an alternative to the original 'flat-top', solid-body electric guitar.
Taking influence from Gibson's hollow body guitars, the Les Paul's body was designed with an arched top and featured a single-cutaway. The original model encountered a few problems, and was modified until its winning formula was finally found in 1957 with the Tune-O-Matic bridge for more stable tuning and intonation. The body of a Les Paul Standard is made of of solid mahogany capped with a carved maple top, giving the guitar its shape and natural sustain. Arguably, the most important part of the Les Paul is its neck, which is also made of mahogany but features a rosewood or ebony fingerboard. With the neck glued in and set into the body, the Les Paul creates a natural wood tone and increased sustain.
The Les Paul has been championed by a number of iconic guitarists, including Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Gary Moore, Peter Green and Slash. Over the years, Gibson have released a number of variations of the Les Paul, like the Les Paul Standard, Studio Traditional and a plethora of Les Paul Custom models to suit different styles and eras, most notably the 1960s, with the inclusion of P-90 pickups.
With over 300 Gibson and Epiphone Les Paul guitars for sale, we are well equipped to help you find a Les Paul to suit your style and budget.

I love the quality and operation of the refrigerator. It is consistently the same temperature - it does not fluctuate and I don't have the cold spots that plagued my old refrigerator. The ice maker is a bit noisy as others have mentioned, but it does not bother me. My trick is to shut it off when it is full and then only restart when it is starting to run low. I love having the various shelves in the freezer so I don't need to constantly move items out of the way. The downside of the cabinet depth style is there is barely enough storage in the freezer for me and this is a one person household. However that is one of the pitfalls of cabinet depth and I knew that before purchasing and I love the look of the French door style.

We bought this fridge in March 2015 as part of a new kitchen construction. We began to use it around Memorial Day. By September, the left side French door was malfunctioning. The seal/bumper on the door had come loose and the guide attached to top of the door no longer lined up with the opening on the fridge, which meant that to open or close the door, you had to manually move the guide into place. The first service call resulted in a tech telling me I had put too many heavy items on the left door and that I had unbalanced the fridge. ???? I never had this problem with other refrigerators. So I moved the heavy items to the right side door, he reattached the seal/bumper that had come loose, and we were good to go. Less than a month later, the same problem happened again. Note that this fridge is used by myself and my husband and occasionally by our adult daughter and we all work full time so no one is opening the fridge during the day. I don't have teenage boys opening it 75 times a day or swinging on it for fun. The second tech said the weight on the doors wasn't an issue, but the fridge wasn't balanced evenly. He fixed that and also pulled it out a little bit so the doors didn't come in contact with the cabinets on either side. So I have had two service issues within 5 months of use. After this experience. I decided to buy a 5-year warranty on the fridge, because I have no confidence the door seals will last or perform correctly past its one-year warranty. In other respects, it is a great appliance. I like the deep, adjustable shelves and it is easy to clean. I like the bottom freezer, although it seems to me to hold less than my old top freezer, perhaps because of all the drawers. They do make it easy to find things. Given the price of this unit, I don't think I made a smart choice buying it. I am hoping I won't have any further problems with the French doors, but I am not too optimistic. I believe there was a redesign shortly after I bought this mode. Perhaps the door issue was corrected in the new model.

Comments about KitchenAid Architect Series II Counter Depth Black French Door Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator:
The refrigerator works fine, but there's a flaw in the design of the self-defrosting section of the freezer compartment. The outlet grommet, gets clogged and does not permit the water to drip into the the evaporator pan, causing ice to from on the deck of the freezer compartment. This is due to the rubber grommet that should stay open but with time,it gets clogged. I had contacted Kitchenaid and all they could really tell me was to contact a repair person and pay for the repairs. Since water was leaking on to my floors I had not choice but to do this and pay. It cost $130. I felt and still feel, that since this is a design flaw in the manufacture's part,they should have covered the cost The unit is only about 2 to 3 years old.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poorly designed
By Tejas
from Texas
As mentioned in other reviews, the freezer door does not close properly and ices up inside. I have had to wait 8 weeks to get a new one which arrived and didn't work. Now I have to wait another 8 weeks for another door. This all started August of 2015. It's now January 2016. Whirlpool seems to have wrecked Kitchenaid quality that once was.
Best we've ever had!

from Dallas, TX
After 47 years of marriage, and I don't know how many refrigerators, this is the BEST we've ever had, both for looks and for function. All moving parts are solid. Looks like a built in. Love the ice drawer and interior water--very cold. there's just nothing we would want different.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Perfect fit
By Debby Dietitian
from Seattle
We love the storage space and the design of our new fridge. We initially had trouble regulating the temperature with issues of freezing items on the top shelf. We think we have it figured out now. The ice machine and water dispenser is great for our family. The French doors have no issues with closing- good design. I love the produce drawers - the food stays fresher longer.

Well designed !

Had this fridge 4 months ago we love it especially the interior water dispenser, what a great idea to put it inside the door as you don't have to worry about it getting as dirty as an exterior one! Plus counter depth is the way to go if you have limited kitchen space. Good fridge, (it will be a great fridge if it last 20 years) , Eddie Staunton VA
Roomy But One Problem
By luckybuttaman

This is a nice, roomy refigerator. The only problem is that I don't like how the two doors close. The left door doesn't always close properly and has to be manually manipulated to close it properly.
A smart practical purchase
By Melinda
from Edmonton, AB
We bought this fridge a month ago and we are very pleased with our purchase. The interior water tap is exactly what we wanted, a useful option that takes up much less space than a door dispenser. The shelves are well organized, and we especially like the bottom fridge tray for eggs and cheese. The three trays in the freezer make our items more accessible, and the ice tray scoop is great. This is our first counter-depth fridge and we're never going back. We highly recommend this fridge.
Twice Nice

We installed the KitchenAid French Door refrigerator in our last home and loved it so much that we purchased another for our new home. We love the water dispenser inside because it eliminates splashes on the stainless doors experienced with models that have the exterior dispenser. The counter depth model looks great in our new kitchen. We would buy another if we move again.

After a lot of researching and planning our kitchen remodel is finally complete. Love the French door style and bottom freezer. I'll have to re-think my approach to food shopping and storage, but knew that going in (counter depth is a little shallower than the side by side we replaced),but frozen pizza boxes still fit! Very quiet and it looks fabulous. Lots of complements.

The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann
December 17, 2009 § 3 Comments
The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon, despite a truly horrendous cover design (compare to the Weekly World News, the sadly defunct supermarket tabloid responsible for such groundbreaking journalism as "Batboy Lives!") and titillating title, is surprisingly well written. What David Grann lacks in survival skills he compensates for with literary ability. He also has a journalist's eye for a story.
In 1925 veteran explorer Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett journeyed into the Brazilian jungle with his son in search of a mythical lost city which he called "Z". The party was never seen or heard from again. Over the following decades expeditions were mounted to find out what happened. All failed (some disastrously). The disappearance of Fawcett and the possible existence of "Z" had captured the public's imagination. As is usually the case, a cottage industry grew around the story. Some claimed the explorers went "native" and produced their white/Indian offspring (in reality albinos) as proof. Artifacts and messages from the doomed party were "discovered". Sightings were reported. Psychics became involved. As recently as 2005 the Guardian newspaper published an article Veil Lifts on Jungle Mystery of the Colonel Who Vanished claiming that:
According to previously hidden private papers, it appears that Fawcett had no intention of ever returning to Britain and, perhaps lured by a native she-god or spirit guide whose beautiful image haunts the family archive, he planned instead to set up a commune in the jungle, based on a bizarre cult.
Into this circus walked David Grann, a staff writer for the New Yorker. He was given access to journals by the family that shed light on the route Fawcett's party had taken. Based on the new information Grann decided to mount his own expedition into the Brazilian jungles – following an 80-year-old trail and with no wilderness experience to speak of. Think Survivor meets the History Channel.
It should have been a great story…a lost city, an Indiana Jones-like hero and hostile landscape. Grann was certainly equal to the task. He skillfully controls the narrative – jumping back and forth between Fawcett's life, the stories of those who attempted to find Fawcett, and his own trek into the jungle. Unfortunately, in the process of reading certain things quickly become apparent.
First – David Grann's journey was nothing like Fawcett's (in Grann's favor he never claims otherwise). Fawcett macheted his way through unexplored jungle until his animals died and his companions were too sick to continue. Grann brought a guide, handheld GPS and a Landrover. He negotiated safe passage through tribal lands prior to entering them. He had set destinations where people were waiting to meet him. I'm not trying to take away from what Grann did… or to imply that he in any way cheated or misrepresented… it just wasn't that exciting to read about.
Second – After 80 years no one is expecting a "Dr. Livingston, I presume?" moment. Take the jungle out of the equation and Fawcett would now be 142 years old. While the author never finds a pile of bones with a wallet in the pocket and a blowgun dart sticking out of the ribcage, there are numerous scenarios that have long been discussed which all point to the same conclusion: Fawcett and party died in the jungle. It's a bit anticlimactic. The reality is, Col. Fawcett made 7 expeditions into the jungle and could have died on any one of them. Between the insects, maggots, infectious diseases, piranhas, anaconda, hostile tribes, lack of food and the jungle itself – the real mystery is how Fawcett wasn't killed long before 1925.
Finally – By the people who care, namely archeologists and anthropologists, the existence of "Z" is no longer in question. Discoveries had been made and books published prior to The Lost City of Z … they just weren't calling the ruins discovered "Z". David Grann acknowledges this and points those interested in the direction of further reading on the subject. Which still doesn't change that fact that the final chapter is disappointing. Sort of like being shipwrecked on a desert island, believing you have found a tropical paradise and discovering Club Med a few beaches over.
Perhaps I would have enjoyed the book more if I'd picked it up without expectations. Portions were interesting. Particularly the present-day research being done by Michael Heckenberger, the archeologist Grann credits with re-discovering the ruins that Fawcett believed to be his lost city. Yet this is only a small part of the narrative. In the end I would have enjoyed the story more as a series of articles. As it stands, The Lost City of Z implies big payoffs that it never manages to deliver.
Weekly Geeks – Why haven't I read this yet?
August 24, 2009 § 5 Comments
This week's Weekly Geeks asks you to choose a book that has been languishing on your bookshelf and ask that age old question, why haven't I read this yet?
It's a good meme and a good question. Because the first step is admitting you have a problem. I'm a compulsive book buyer. I'm tempted to go into a long, drawn out explanation touching on my first book memory, visits to the public library as a child, the constant re-arranging & reorganizing of my bookshelf at milestones of my life – but it's probably safe to assume that most people reading this have the same problem. So let's cut straight to the chase…
The Nautical Chart by Arturo Pèrez-Reverte (current shelf life: 1 year, 1 month) – This novel was bought during a vacation on Sanibel Island last year, probably at the same time I purchased The Flander's Panel. If the bookmark stuck between the pages 34-35 is to be believed then this novel was engaged at some point. It's the story of a hunt for sunken treasure, features a down trodden hero and a beautiful woman with questionable motives. The mystery is built around a lot of clever puzzles involving nautical maps and equipment. Overall it is the kind of book I'd gobble up in two sittings.
The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann is a different kind of mystery story altogether (current shelf life: 4-6 months). It's the true account of the author's modern day attempt of find out what happened to British explorer Percy Fawcett, who entered the Amazon in 1925 and never returned. Grann researches the history of Fawcett's expeditions (up to & including his last) and examines his obsession with finding the City of Z. He also tells the stories of the explorers who went in search of Fawcett after his disappearance. All that alone would have made a good book, but Grann takes it one step further (of course he does, he's a staff writer for The New Yorker). After stumbling onto a clue to the location of Fawcett's last base camp, Grann makes his own journey into Bolivia in search of the man who disappeared 80+ years before.
Mellon: An American Life by David Cannadine (current shelf life: 1 year, 5 months) – Andrew J. Mellon, along with his contemporaries Rockefeller, Frick and Carnegie, was one of those robber barons at the turn of the century who lived life large. I love reading about these guys. They took bold risks, had fabulous homes, and left huge legacies. They were the great philanthropists of their time, making & giving millions, usually on the backs of their employees. Of that group I would argue that Mellon is the least well known and for reasons that can be easily understood. As the treasury secretary for 4 presidents leading into the Great Depression Andrew Mellon's popularity has waned (let that be a lesson to you Ben Bernanke!). His part in the 1929 economic collapse has all but overshadowed his other achievements. These included one of the greatest gifts ever given to this country: The National Gallery of Art, which is at the heart of what has become the Smithsonian Collection.
There you have it. My confession. While I'd like to say that these are the only books gathering dust throughout my house, that would be a lie. And as we all know, lying is wrong.
So, I'm interested in hearing what other books are out there being neglected & wrongfully ignored. Please feel free to leave your confession… I mean comment… below.

Mingming and The Art of Minimal Ocean Sailing by Roger TaylorApril 19, 2010
Roger has planned another lengthy passage this year in Mingming, the junk rigged Corribee that has already covered thousands of nautical miles of deep-water sailing. He writes:
'This year I'm due to sail in the Jester Challenge to Newport, Rhode Island. However I had already been thinking of taking the northern Transatlantic route, and if conditions are right I may possibly divert even further north to make my landfall at Cape Dyer, Baffin Island, instead. This would bring Mingming and me into the Arctic Circle to the west of Greenland, via the Davis Strait, thus mirroring last year's voyage into the east Greenland ice and the Denmark Strait.'
His second book is due to be published and has already received excellent reviews from Sailing Today and Practical Boat Owner, amongst others. It covers three lengthy voyages in Mingming, including a trip to the Azores and the northern passages. Visit Roger's site The Simple Sailor for some more information and to order what promises to be another fascinating read.
You can also preorder from Amazon here.

Picture: Joanne Froggatt, James McAvoy and Imogen Poots - UK premiere of Filth held at the Odeon - Arrivals - London, United Kingdom - Monday 30th...
The new season of Downton Abbey has opened with a controversy - fans of the period drama have complained about a rape scene featuring actress Joanne Froggatt's character Anna May Bates.
A warning about the shocking scenes was posted before the third episode of the programme's fourth season aired in Britain on Sunday (06Oct13), but that wasn't enough for at least 60 fans who officially complained to bosses at the Itv network about it.
And many more took to Twitter.com to blast series bosses for opening the new season with such a storyline.
On Monday (07Oct13), The Daily Telegraph's Katy Rink wrote, "Last night we writhed in our sofas, disbelieving and uncomfortable."
Bosses at broadcasting watchdog Ofcom have confirmed they also received a number of complaints about the show's rape plotline.

Usually it is the smaller dogs we have trouble with when we go to heartworm test or give vaccines. We use the #1 the most. It seems to fit alot of the smaller breeds of dogs.
Pros: easy to use

Saturday June 27th saw Waterford host its 4th Viking Marathon, boasting terrific entertainment all the way along each of the 3 routes for over 2,000 runners.
This year participants traveled from Kenya, Italy, Johannesburg, Sweden, Norway, all over the US and from all corners of Ireland to gather at the start line. The full, half and quarter marathons set off together at 9.00 am with a rapturous cheer and an electric atmosphere from the assembled crowd.
This year's event took in over 5 miles of the Viking city's streets before the full marathon runners made their way out to the seaside town of Tramore. It was all about entertainment, with high profile local bands and musicians in abundance over the entire route. This year's route was held over a flatter course and resulted in many personal bests, despite the strong head wind for those headed to Tramore.
First home for the day and getting proceedings underway in the Quarter Marathon was Alan O'Shea of Bantry AC in a time of 34.04. Alan, 3rd in this year's Ballycotton 10 Miler, had little challenge from locals, Noel Murphy of Waterford AC and Ruairi O'Donnell of Ferrrybank AC as he pushed the pace from gun to tape, extending a 200m lead at 2 miles to 5000 before the finish. Sandra Fitzpatrick, from Ballyroan, Abbeyleix and District AC came from behind in 3rd place to win the ladies quarter ahead of Janet Quinlan of Waterford and Melisa Murphy in a time of 46.49. Sandra was 1 of almost 40 athletes that travelled to the event from Laois having read so much about last year's event.

Our process of making decisions that involve our faith and our civic life is flawed almost beyond repair, and our focus on what we consider Christian issues instead of on doing politics in a Christian fashion has brought us to this point of division.
Every Sunday, millions of American Christians attend a megachurch that preaches a "prosperity gospel" of health, wealth and happiness. But in this era of supersized banks and corporations, prosperity megachurches have become just another organization that assumes it is too big to fail.

This question hinges on whether "Innocence of Muslims" is a form of expression that incites physical violence. That, it seems to me, is were the real argument lies.
When it comes to America's Indigenous peoples, Christianity has done much wrong. At no time should anyone have been making decisions for people in sovereign aboriginal nations. Likewise, Indigenous followers of the Jesus Way should not be presumed upon by saying they have all been brainwashed.

MSDN is a huge hierarchical doc site.
To be more precise, the content is organized in a hierarchical manner, but the URLs are not. The URL space is flat, making it look like everything is in the same directory. (In reality, there probably isn't a directory; I guess things are coming out of some other database; but that's not relevant here.)
So if you want to download part of MSDN, say, the NMake manual, you can't just recursively download everything below a given directory. Because that will be all of MSDN. Too much for your hard drive and bandwith.
But you could write a script that looks at the DOM (HTML) to then follow and download only those links contained in certain navigational sections of the document, like those of CSS
class attribute
toc_children and
toc_siblings, but not
What you'd need would be some downloader that allows you to say:
$webclient->add_links( $xpath_expression ); # or
$webclient->add_links( $css_selector );
It shouldn't be too difficult to cobble something together using Perl, LWP and XML::LibXML (HTML parser), but maybe you know of a tool that allows you to do just that so I don't need to reinvent it.
It doesn't have to be Perl, any other language is fine, too, and so is a ready-made program that has the flexibility required for this job.
