REMEMBERThe ALAMO
Remember the Alamo Lyrics
"Remember the Alamo" was written by Kennedy,
Gordon Scott / Kirkpatrick, Wayne.
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
A line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
"The man who would fight to the death cross over but he who that would live better fly,"
And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy-nine
Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo
Jim Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry
From flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply
And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin'. The challenge was fierce in his eye.
For Texas and freedom, a man more than willin' to die
Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo
A courier sent to the battlements, bloody and loud
With words of fare well in the letters he carried were proud
"Grieve not, little darlin', my dyin' if Texas is sovereign and free
We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be!"
Hi! Up! Santa Anna, we're killing your soldiers below
So the rest of Texas will know and remember the Alamo
Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo! Remember the Alamo

The head of Idaho's Department of Administration says he's requesting more time to decide if the agency will try to recover money paid out under the illegal $60 million broadband contract.
In early March, the Idaho Supreme Court agreed that a statewide contract for broadband in public schools was void. The justices said the law required the state to try to recover the money already paid out under the voided contract, but held off from officially ordering state officials to seek repayment.
Department of Administration spokeswoman Diane Blume said Tuesday that Attorney General Lawrence Wasden asked the department to submit a decision by April 6.
However, Blume says that...

After meeting with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Fulton County Judge Curren Everett announced FEMA will award the county road department $21,000 as reimbursement for money the county spent during the December ice storm.
Everett met with Roger Stiles of FEMA and Joe Halsey of the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management in the NAEC Orange Room Jan. 21 and Jan. 28 to prepare a project worksheet for damage assessments and scope of work performed by the county.
Damages were incurred because of heavy ice buildup on trees located through the county. Around 1,500 miles of county roads were affected, Everett said.
State Sen. Paul Miller of Melbourne announced that President George W. Bush ordered federal aid to supplement state and local recovery efforts in the areas struck by the Dec. 3-4, 2002, ice storm.
Miller said federal funds are available to local governments in Fulton, Izard and Sharp counties on a cost-sharing basis for the repair or replacement of public facilities damaged by the storm.
FEMA appropriates money if a county has spent over $1,000 for removing debris from county roads, Everett said. Fulton County would be reimbursed for money spent on salt placed on paved roads, he added.
County employees hauled and spread 65,340 pounds of salt and 1,116 cubic yards of pit run gravel on asphalt-surfaced county roads. The work was performed as an emergency measure to make roads passable for local traffic, Everett said.
The judge said storm debris was hauled and chipped at the county dump site and made available to county residents for mulch.
Everett said the road department worked Feb. 8 and a partial crew worked the following day blading more snow from the roads that fell during the snow storm Feb. 6.
"I'm very happy with what we are going to receive. We didn't have the ice like the other counties south and east of Fulton County," Everett said.

Recognizing the past is often the only way to move forward, and, unfortunately, since both sides have a past and not-so-distant past of committing horrific atrocities on each other in the name of their religions and in the name of humanity, both sides will have to come out and face that openly and squarely if there is to be peace. Israel must withdraw her troops and settlements from West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, stop the housing demolitions, the abuse of Palestinian civilians and the deprivation of food, water, electricity, incomes, education and medical care. An independent, sovereign Palestinian nation-state must be allowed to emerge in West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip....NOW! They must either dismantle the settlement housing or hand it over to the Palestinians to do what they will with it. All of the above said in this paragraph would be the high road that Israel could/should take. It would be soul-cleansing for Israelis and uplifting for Palestinians

In an effort to learn more, I headed to the incongruous environs of the Palm Jebel Ali, a wilderness of cranes and half-built bridges. Yet there was something poignant about the fact I was about to experience one of the UAE's most ancient pastimes in such surroundings.
Our bus pulled up to a scenic beach hut: we slipped off our footwear at the door and filed inside. We were greeted by a huge flatscreen TV, next to which stood an equally well-proportioned Emirati gentleman. This was Major Ali, our guide for the day and a descendant of a family with a proud pearl-diving history.
I was surprised to be handed a white cotton hoodie and a pair of baggy trousers: these traditional garments, we were told with no hint of humour, were to protect us from jellyfish (often found in Dubai's waters during the warmer months, although I was assured they don't usually sting).
Once we'd changed and trudged down to the beach, we boarded the waiting dhow to the sound of a fisherman's chant. The air was still and the water calm, so instead of hoisting the sail and letting the wind take us out to sea, we were towed by the rescue boat. (I can only assume Major Ali deemed us physically ill-equipped to row; a shrewd decision, admittedly.) Disappointed to have been denied my Spartacus moment, I wandered the length of the dhow, admiring the rather public squat toilet beneath the captain's bunk, the barbecue where six plump fish were grilling, and the craftsmanship of the sleek bow. Even with our crew of 15 the dhow felt full, so it was hard to imagine 70 men crammed onto the deck, as they once did.
We laid anchor and, like all good captains, Major Ali was the first in the water, checking for oysters as well as demonstrating how to use the weighted rope that lowers divers to the sea bed. I've never considered myself the strongest of swimmers (note: you do have to be able to swim to participate) and the idea of tying myself to a weight wasn't too appealing. However, in spite of my speedy descent to the bottom – which initially took me by surprise – I found the contraption saved on energy that would otherwise have been used to swim to the sea bed. Getting my bearings as best I could (aided by a not-so-traditional scuba mask), I groped my way along the bottom, feeling for the rough, hard texture of oyster shells. The average adult can hold their breath for about 30 seconds, but it felt as though only milliseconds passed before my lungs started burning. Just as a mild panic began set in, I chanced upon three shells and shot back to the surface, victorious and gasping for air. On the advice of Major Ali, my second and third dives proved equally fruitful; after placing my spoils in a wicker basket, which was hoisted onto deck, I clambered aboard to examine my riches, exhausted yet excited.
There's a one in 10 chance of finding a pearl in an oyster and, having scooped up more than 10, I was already envisaging a life of fast cars and fur coats (divers are allowed to keep their finds, though realistically, don't expect them to be worth more than Dhs100). Major Ali demonstrated how to shuck the oysters, though after prizing open one after another, it soon became clear that my underwater exploits had been futile. It was a bad day at the office for all of us – not one pearl was found – though the experience itself was more than worth it.
As we sat down to lunch with Major Ali, I looked out at the huge, slug-like barges that had been laid to rest on the shore, and the flaming towers of the aluminium plant in the distance. The Dubai of Major Ali's ancestors was very different to the one I know, yet I was pleased a little piece of it remained within the confines of the small bobbing dhow.
The pearl diving experience costs Dhs700 (adults), Dhs500 (children under the age of 12, who can participate in all activities except the diving itself). Tue-Sat 9am-3pm. Meet at Jumeirah Beach Hotel (04 406 8828).

From breezy runs to cozy paddles, it's been a gorgeous holiday week here in the great
white golden north.
Happy holidays from me and mine to you and yours!!
The first time I saw my grandma making poached eggs I didn't know they were eggs at all.
Wet and slippery, with sprawling tentacles and bubbling air pockets, they looked more like a sea creatures than the ketchup smeared scrambled eggs I was used to. But over the years I've grown to love poached eggs more than any other breakfast food. Their delicate, velvety texture. The moment of breaking into one as though it were a creme brûlée. Poached eggs elevate my morning routine and make me feel more sophisticated. As though I just might subscribe to The New Yorker after all. And when I do I just might read more than the comics.
In any case, since I know preparing poached eggs can be intimidating I wanted to share how I make them. Perhaps it will inspire you to do the same.
Poached Eggs on Toast
It's hard to keep your wits about you this time of year. The sun sets at what feels like 3pm. The wind chills. Sickness pervades. The stretch between now and December holidays feels longer than the rest of the year combined.
But I've found that leaning into to a few cold comforts is the only way to get by. For me this means:
To help with that last one, here's a recipe I've been making and enjoying a lot lately. Simple, tasty and perfect for November mornings.
Pumpkin Spice Granola
inspired by the Minimalist Baker
I can't pinpoint exactly when feelings went viral, but it happened.
And now we're surrounded by posts, memes, snaps, grams and vines that talk all about feels: catching feelings, having feelings, knowing feelings, getting hit in the feelings. You get the idea. Most of this feelings-based content hinges on the fact that it's detached and irreverent. Feelings are the punchline.
But lately I've been wondering, since psychoanalysis taught us that humour is often a window to our unconscious, what are we really talking about when we talk about feelings online? Based on some very unscientific twitter, tumblr and instagram trolling I have learned that, most of the time, we are talking about 1 of 3 things:
Okay…then what aren't we talking about?
I'm not breaking ground when I say that social media places a high value on positive emotions and experiences. An instagram post with you looking happy and full of joie de vivre will get you likes. But what happens when you're not feeling so hot? The trouble is that with so much value placed on appearing positive, fun, outgoing and excited online we devalue and deny our negative emotions. And moreso, in our desire to connect and "be social," we forget be alone with ourselves which gives us less time to identify and express those difficult emotions.
I think ultimately our fascination with feels and feelings is our attempt to experience and contend with emotions we're uncomfortable with. Experiencing the intimacy of male friendship? Post a pic of you and your bro #feels. Struggling with the relationship between you and your mother? Post a review of the new Meryl Streep movie #feels. It's our attempt to go there without really going there.
And yet, safely expressing difficult emotions allows us to identify what's causing them and to address those causes. This is an important – essential – coping skill that contributes to our overall mental health and well-being.
So, to wrap up this touchy feely post about feels, here are a few ways to express negative emotions…positively:
And once you've done those things? Learn from them. Make positive changes. And release them. Through exercise, dance, cooking, writing, painting, or (if you prefer) as hit records….like Drake 🙂
Halloween has never been my favourite October Holiday. I'm definitely more of a root-vegetables-and-pie kinda gal. But lbh any occasion that allows me to binge-watch movies while eating chocolate and playing dress-up is okay in my books. That said, as I get older I have found that some aspects of Halloween begin to change particularly the things I want to eat/do/wear/go home with. So here are some of the lessons I've learned over the years to ensure I have a great time on Halloween and don't hate my life come November 1st.
DO's and DONT'S of Adult Halloween
Last night I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner as an adult. It broke tradition in many ways. I shared the meal with my friends, not my family. No turkey was present. We ate on the floor (who has space for a dining room table?) But there as candlelight, cuddling and conversation that wasn't about work or kids or real estate. It was the Thanksgiving I've been wanting to have for years.
Your friends are the people who are there for you every day. Who take care of you when you falter, which in my case is more often than I'd like. Who get your jokes and make you laugh so hard you spill your wine. Nothing against my incredibly loving and supportive family, but on this occasion it felt so good to sit with the people I share my life with, get drunk and eat pumpkin pie.
Here's what was on my menu:
Every season has two opposing sides for me, feelings-wise.
In the wintertime I waver between self-acceptance and depression. Spring is an insufferable combination of optimism and restlessness. Summer is liberation and crippling FOMO. And fall…well fall is the season of wistful introspection and harsh self-criticism.
Questions I'm plagued with between September and November:
In an effort to help those of you who may be struggling with these and other soul-crushing questions, I thought I would share a few of the strategies I've developed to help survive my pumpkin-spiced feelings:
Let's face it. The first week of work in September is always a slog. Summers over and you never did get to that cottage. Fall is in the air and you start thinking…maybe I should go back to school (probably you shouldn't). Regardless, there's no way any of you are going to be productive after 3pm today. So here are some links to keep you occupied…
These drawings by Aiden Koch.
Karly's defense of Tinder and hookup culture.
This scathing inditement of positive affirmations.
This sweet reflection on the benefits of traveling solo.
When I'm lucky enough to be gifted a bunch of flowers, I secretly look forward to them dying. Okay wait…that sounds bad. I look forward to them drying. Ever since I was a little girl I loved dried flowers almost more than the real deal. Their muted colours, their antique qualities – they seemed like the kind of thing that should be hanging in the house of an eccentric aunt (which it's my lifegoal to become).
The problem is that in my apartment now there's never anywhere good to hang them. I end up awkwardly taping flowers to the wall where they inevitably fall down or hanging them from my bedposts (which houseguests have informed me makes me look definitively crazy). So last weekend I designed this minimalist flower drying rack so I could always keep beautifully preserved dry flowers in my home without coming off like a Sanderson sister.

If this is something everyone would like to partake in again let me know, because this time I looked at the old posts from members of previous contests of mine and would like to have 3 U.M. members to vote with me on the winners and discuss the challenge before it is officially started.
If you want to be a part of the judging panel, please P.M. me! I will keep this thread updated... Now on to the challenge...
Here's the Gist:
We've all seen pictures on the internet depicting paranormal phenomenon. The goal for this contest, is to create a realistic photo-manipulation depicting said paranormal phenomenon. Some members here have gone to lengths to "Debunk" such photos as hoaxes and manipulations. I want to use this thread for submissions of said "photos" to test the creative abilities of our members!
Here's the challenge:
~ These pictures/photo-manipulations must be original to this contest. (No posting a previously made photo by someone else as your own material, or any other photo made by yourself previously in other contests.) I.E.: You cannot re-enter a manipulation made in a previous contest on U.M. if you didn't rank in the top 3 or honorable mentions. This also applies to contests outside of Unexplained-Mysteries.
~ I will allow only 2 submissions per person. This will limit the amount of pictures on this topic and allow the judges to select evenly.
~ You can use any form of digital manipulation tool in your creation. (Photoshop, ect...) I liked the idea of writing "Fake" or embedding it in the photo. It clarifies that it is indeed fake, and could prevent it for being passed as real.
~ If you are using photos by someone other than yourself (for backgrounds, characters, nuances..) try and obtain permission to use copyrighted works if you need to use any, or obtain free stock photos where you can online. You can credit source material, although it's not necessary.
~ All submissions are copyrighted to their creators. Please do not distribute, display, or use these pictures anywhere else other than this thread, unless approved by their creator(s).
~ Try and have fun with what you make! They don't have to be masterpieces of artwork.
With all that stated, lets see if anyone would want to participate, and potentially judge the THIRD PARANORMAL PHOTO-MANIPULATION CHALLENGE!
*As stated in my previous challenges, this is not to make fun of paranormal sciences; I believe in it wholeheartedly. This is merely for fun, so don't post flames on how this is a mockery....*
Edit: Rule clarification.

I had to scrub mine with just a little basic H (Shaklee) because it sticks like tar! ;)
Posted 12/19/2012
No, you don't have too. But then again that depends on wether or not stains on your diapers bother you. I always rinsed mine immediately and two years later of cloth diapering 95% of mine still don't have stains. And the 5% that do have stains is because I bought them used off the swap and never got around to sunning them.

A look back at cold weatherPublished 1:52pm Wednesday, January 8, 2014
People from "up north" might not think so, but for Alabamians the past week has been a very cold one. Despite the absence of modern technology and such, our grandparents and great-grandparents had ways of coping with it. It was mostly—but not always—viewed in a negative light. Little was possible in the way of weather forecasting. Great reliance was placed on old folk maxims and signs in the natural environment.
July 3, 1895—The cold weather of this past winter ought to mean a healthy summer, while the abundant snows experienced throughout the county should mean good crops this season.
Jan. 16, 1904—The grand jury of Lawrence County has examined the county jail and reports that it is not suitable to contain a human being. First, the sanitary condition is horrible; second, there is no way of heating the cells whereby the prisoners might be kept comfortable.
March 5, 1907—(Decatur, March 4)—Word was received here this morning of the death of County Commissioner S. P. Lovelady (father of Hartselle's famed Dr. W. H. Lovelady). Mr. Lovelady died yesterday at his country home near Danville.
He had been in bad health for some time but the immediate cause of his death was due to a severe cold which developed into a case of pneumonia.
Jan. 17, 1910—On account of the severe cold and rainy weather, work on the county turnpike roads has been almost suspended until spring. However, some grading is being done and rock is being crushed. The work will be pushed as rapidly as possible just as soon as the good weather opens up in the spring.
Oct. 23, 1910—As a result of the storm on the Florida coast, Hartselle has experienced a banana famine during the past few days. The dealers here who receive bananas in carload lots have been unable to get any fruit on account of the storm.
Oct. 23, 1911—A cold wave struck this section of the state at an early hour this morning. The thermometer dropped from 70 to 45º, with a cold wind blowing out of the north. There was no frost.
Feb. 8, 1912—The thermometer here (Lacon) registered five degrees above during the recent cold snap. There was considerable suffering among the stock of the country.
May 15, 1914—The thermometer fell several degrees last night, almost reaching the frost point. Farmers say this weather will injure the cotton to some extent, as much of the cotton is up or just coming up out of the ground.
Dec. 1, 1915—A. S. Bynum, city, is getting ready for colder weather with the purchase of a new union suit for 80 cents and a pair gloves for 45 cents.
Oct. 19, 1916—The honking of thousands of wild geese here tonight indicated the coming of cold weather, according to amateur weather prophets. It is said that the geese go south with the passing of the warm weather.
Dec. 28, 1924—Sportsmen report that the hunting of wild ducks within the last few days has been the greatest sport of this kind in years. More ducks than have ever been seen before were on the rivers and ponds and the reason for this is said to be unusually cold weather in the north which has compelled these flocks to migrate south in order to find food.
Dec. 15, 1955—A low of 15 is expected tonight. No snow is expected to accompany the frigid temperatures, however.
Dec. 12, 1957—It is very cold in Hartselle. The low this morning was 10 and the thermometer is not expected to rise above the 20s during the day. Many Hartselle residents are reporting that their pipes have frozen.

Read an Excerpt
When I traveled around the country talking to readers about my last book, A Room of Her Own: Women's Personal Spaces, I was struck by how many women told me they had created--or yearned to create--a personal space, a private sanctuary for themselves in their homes. The concept of a personal space struck a deeply responsive chord with so many women, which seemed to cut across all demographic boundaries--age, geography, whatever.
But as I talked to people, it also became increasingly clear to me that the need for a haven, a retreat, is a universal one. Families, couples, and singles--regardless of gender--share this almost primal urge to have what began to take shape in my mind as a "getaway." Suddenly, and with a sense of energizing enthusiasm, I was on to a new project--Getaways.
As I do with all my books, I got on the phone, sent out letters, and faxed friends and designers asking them if they had or knew of a getaway, a special place that offered a sense of sanctuary. I was thrilled to receive a huge and enthusiastic response to my queries. Some wrote eloquently about their homes on the water, whether this was the ocean, a lake, or a small harbor. Others submitted wonderful photographs of shacks in the mountains or secluded cottages. I found that a getaway did not have to be a second home: many had created one in their primary home or apartment right in the midst of the city.
Toni Morrison, the Nobel Prize-winning author whose home I was privileged to photograph, eloquently captured the essence of a getaway. "It's a vision of a place you've had in your mind," Toni told me, "and when you find yourself there, you recognize it." I discoveredeye-pleasing spaces that came in a dazzling variety of guises, from the Donahue family's charming boat basin in Rye, New York (which has been in the family for three generations), to actor Michael Keaton's fishing shack in the Rockies to Los Angeles designer Lynn von Kersting's secluded pool and pavilion snuggled above the clamor of Sunset Boulevard. Katie Couric let me photograph her elegantly relaxed home in upstate New York, where she and her daughters escape on weekends from her hectic schedule at NBC. I traveled out to the end of eastern Long Island where Walter Iooss, Jr., the well-known sports photographer, and his wife Eva opened their incredible home to me on the Montauk cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
A very talented designer, Sarah Smith, gave me and my photographer access to several exquisite getaways on a small island off the Connecticut coastline, where three or four generations of families gather each summer. The design philosophy there was very much one of relaxed comfort. Sand-filled Top-Siders and water-soaked golden retrievers were welcome in any room of the house!
The discovery of a getaway, I found, often has the characteristics of an epiphany. Renate McKnight and her artist-husband, Tom, owned homes in New York and Palm Beach but were visiting friends in bucolic Litchfield County in Connecticut when they drove past a stately old Colonial house on Litchfield's Main Street. As Tom told me, "We both knew it was the house we wanted." They contacted a local real estate agent and have now lovingly restored and renovated this wonderful home.
Jennifer and James D'Auria told me a similar tale about the discovery of their getaway. New Yorkers through the week, Jennifer is an actress and James an architect. They had a small weekend house on eastern Long Island but both had a very clear vision of the house and property they yearned for. One night, while driving in a wild rainstorm, Jennifer spotted a For Sale sign on a piece of land. As Jennifer said, "The country road was right, the hills were right." She drove back, got James, and, as you'll see, created an exquisite home in the potato fields of Amagansett.
Time and again, the owners of the spaces I photographed reiterated the sentiment that Toni Morrison had expressed to me, that feeling of "coming home." Whenever we find this place--whether at the beach, in the country, or in our everyday homes--I know that we can add a richness to our wondrous but sometimes hectic lives by following our vision and creating a getaway of our own.

Competition is the ideal, but an audit shows that DOD often sidesteps the process. (Stock image)
The Defense Department held fewer competitions for contracts in fiscal 2012 than in 2008, declining in total by 5.5 percent during the four-year span, according to a report released March 28. The majority of the non-competitive contract awards were tagged as having only a single company able to do the work, justifying a sole-source award.
In fiscal 2012, DOD obligated $359 billion through contracts and task orders, of which $205.3 billion, or 57 percent, went to competitive awards. In 2008, DOD obligated 62.6 percent of its money through the competitive process, the Government Accountability Office found in its analysis of spending data.
The 2012 competition rate varied widely across the services.. The Air Force had the lowest competition rate at 37.1 percent. The Defense Logistics Agency had the highest rate at 83.3 percent.
Defense officials have several factors that affect their attempts to reach competition goals. The department may rely too much on an original equipment manufacturer; GAO concluded that this has been a long-standing challenge for officials. The rate also is affected when DOD buys on behalf of a foreign government.
GAO wrote that DOD does not consider such factors as it sets annual competition goals. Instead, it adds two percentage points to what it did the prior year.
Reasons given to justify sole-source contracts. (GAO graphic)
"Without identifying and tracking the specific factors affecting competition DOD cannot set meaningful goals for improving competition or accurately gauge its progress toward achieving them," GAO wrote.
In response to GAO, Richard Ginman, director of procurement and acquisition policy at DOD, wrote that he would consider such factors when setting future goals.
GAO had another issue with DOD, as it faces a high number of competitions where only a single company could responsibly handle the work: the Pentagon's procurement workforce does not keep reliable records. GAO recommended defense officials push the military branches to collect reliable data these types of contracts.
In 2010, under DOD's Better Buying Power initiative, officials considered any solicitation in which DOD received just one bid an "ineffective competition." A contracting officer would have to revamp the requirements and put the work out for bid for another month.
That policy remains in place, but the data are not there. The poor data-collection prevents officials from determining if the policy, in fact, works.
With better records, "the department could better determine the effects of its new requirement on one-offer contracts," GAO wrote. "The impact of the requirement is unknown because of unreliable data."
In an analysis of 35 one-offer awards, GAO's auditors found contracting officers had incorrectly coded 10 of the awards in the procurement database that DOD relies on to measure the impact of its new requirement. But six of the 10 awards were noncompetitive awards, and the remaining four had received multiple offers.
"As a result, GAO determined that DOD's data cannot be used to accurately calculate the amount obligated on one-offer awards during fiscal year 2012," GAO wrote.
Ginman assured auditors he would review training policies and then update guidance to improve the quality of the information entered into the Federal Procurement Data System. In addition, he wrote, officials would raise the issue at competition advocates' meetings in the future.

Two key IT modernization bills could move in Congress, despite the compressed legislative calendar and the politically charged election year.
CyTech Services, the veteran-owned small business that may have played a significant role in discovering the OPM hack a year ago, says it's never been paid for that work.
Although most agencies are on track to meet a presidential directive to archive email records electronically, a few will need more time.
Limiting the impact of open source policy to a time- and scope-constrained pilot forgoes a unique and long-needed opportunity to modernize government, argues a leading open source advocate.
Agencies can put more money on mission by analyzing accounts payable data. The former leader of the U.K.'s Government Procurement Service explains what it takes.

4/29/2016 | Freeman silencing wrist concerns with surge
As his frustrations mounted during this season's first few weeks, Freddie Freeman had trouble convincing nearly everyone, including his own father, that his previously injured right wrist was healthy. But those who have watched Freeman take swings over the course of the past week certainly haven't had any reason to be concerned about the wrist.
4/29/2016 | Braves' moves point to potential Folty promotion
As the Braves near the end of the Bud Norris experiment, it looks like Mike Foltynewicz will get another opportunity to prove that he can live up to the tremendous hype that surrounded him at this time last year, when he stood as Atlanta's top pitching prospect.
4/29/2016 | Lackey, Teheran to duel as Cubs host Braves
While the Cubs have not had much reason to complain through this season's first few weeks, the Braves are certainly hoping that the next few months prove to be less frustrating than the first one has been. The Cubs will be attempting to conclude a successful April in fitting fashion on Saturday, when they send John Lackey to the mound to oppose Julio Teheran and the Braves.
4/29/2016 | Taillon, Benintendi among top prospect performers Thursday
With Jameson Taillon's impressive start to the 2016 season, you would never suspect that he hadn't pitched competitively since '13. The Pirates' No. 4 prospect (No. 51 overall) improved to 2-0 on Thursday, firing seven innings of one-run ball for Triple-A Indianapolis in a win against Norfolk.
4/29/2016 | Markakis makes mark with 4-hit game
Nick Markakis entered Thursday's season-series finale against the Red Sox at Fenway Park with just one hit in the first three games of the four-game, home-and-home series, hitting .273 for the season. But he went 4-for-5 Thursday night -- a season high in hits and one shy of his career high -- with three RBIs, raising his batting average 32 points to .305.
4/28/2016 | Mallex, Markakis lead Braves to snap skid
The Braves put together a steady offense against Clay Buchholz and salvaged the finale of a four-game series with the Red Sox by pulling out a 5-3 victory at Fenway Park on Thursday night. The win snapped an eight-game losing skid for Atlanta.
4/28/2016 | Lester seeking first Wrigley win as Cubs host Braves
Jon Lester will try for his first win at home this season when the Cubs welcome the Braves on Friday in the first of a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Atlanta will counter with right-handed rookie Aaron Blair (0-1, 5.06 ERA).
4/28/2016 | Bradley, Payano among top prospect performers Wednesday
Bobby Bradley is on a roll right now, and his hot hitting continued on Wednesday.The No. 90 overall prospect helped Class A Advanced Lynchburg to a 12-6 win over Winston-Salem by going 3-for-5 with a home run, a pair of doubles and three RBIs.
4/27/2016 | Freeman ends Braves' homerless drought
While Freddie Freeman's home run leading off the eighth inning gave the Braves their third run in a 9-4 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday night, it also provided a bit of a reprieve for the team.
4/27/2016 | Boston eyes sweep as Chacin faces Buchholz
The Braves and Red Sox will play the fourth and final game of their season series on Thursday at Fenway Park, with right-handers Jhoulys Chacin (0-1, 3.18 ERA) and Clay Buchholz (0-2, 6.33 ERA) facing off.
4/27/2016 | Catcher Pierzynski reaches 2,000 career hits
Before the Braves' 9-4 loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday night, A.J. Pierzynski said he was looking forward to getting his next hit -- so he could stop answering questions about it.
4/27/2016 | Pedroia crushes slam, solo HR in grand win
The red-hot Dustin Pedroia laced two homers, including a grand slam high off of Pesky's Pole in right field, to lead the Red Sox to a 9-4 victory over the Braves on Wednesday night at Fenway Park.
4/27/2016 | Braves call up Gant, option Weber to Triple-A
Before the Braves fell, 9-4, to the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday, Atlanta optioned right-hander Ryan Weber to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room for right-hander John Gant.
4/27/2016 | Glasnow among top prospect performers Tuesday
After he struggled in his last start for Triple-A Indianapolis, Pirates No. 1 prospect Tyler Glasnow returned to form Tuesday to fire six scoreless innings in a win against Durham.
4/26/2016 | Fredi sees all-out effort amid losing streak
The Braves opened this homestand with a fourth straight victory and closed it by suffering a seventh straight loss for the second time during this young season. Frustration has obviously continued to build over the course of the past week, but following Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Red Sox, Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said he has not been given any reason to question his club's effort.
4/26/2016 | Shaw, Red Sox drub Braves, back Price's 14 K's
David Price matched a career-high 14 strikeouts and tossed eight strong innings with the benefit of the early lead Travis Shaw provided when he highlighted a five-RBI game with a three-run, first-inning homer in the Red Sox's 11-4 win over the Braves at Turner Field on Tuesday night.
4/26/2016 | Castro's juggling act turns two, wows Braves crowd
Braves middle infielder Daniel Castro provided new meaning to "use both hands" when he channeled his inner Andrelton Simmons and produced a jaw-dropping catch during the fourth inning of Tuesday night's 11-4 loss to the Red Sox at Turner Field.
4/26/2016 | Red Sox hope to keep pressure on Braves back home
The Red Sox and Braves are shipping up to Boston for the final portion of this home-and-home series, beginning with Wednesday night's 7:10 ET contest at Fenway Park.
4/26/2016 | Braves considering changes to replay process
Some of the frustration that was aired out in the Braves' clubhouse following Monday night's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox was aimed toward the fact that a challenge was not issued after Freddie Freeman was ruled out while attempting to reach second base during the second inning.
4/26/2016 | Castro emerges, but Braves not giving up on Aybar
Over the past couple of weeks, Daniel Castro has proven that Atlanta did not necessarily need to get a shortstop in return when it traded Andrelton Simmons. But before completely giving up on Erick Aybar -- the shortstop who was acquired in the Simmons deal -- the Braves will continue to give him a chance to prove he can be much better than he has been during this season's first three weeks.
4/26/2016 | Lack of power problematic for Braves
The Braves have accounted for Ender Inciarte's absence by moving Nick Markakis to the leadoff spot, and they have attempted to help Freddie Freeman get out of his funk by temporarily moving him down to the lineup's sixth spot. Still, while these changes might provide the lineup better flow, they do not compensate for the lack of power potential possessed by the Braves, who have been burdened by this glaring weakness throughout a season that became even more frustrating during Monday night's 1-0 loss to the Red Sox at Turner Field.
4/25/2016 | Price faces childhood favorite team in Atlanta
David Price is over the rough start he had his last time out against the Orioles and is focused on making amends Tuesday night against the Atlanta Braves, the team he rooted for throughout his childhood.
4/25/2016 | Defensive struggles sending Adonis to left field
The Braves know that they are weakening themselves at whichever position they place Adonis Garcia on the field. But instead of continuing to make Garcia a potential liability at third base on a daily basis, they will soon begin providing him some starts in left field.
4/25/2016 | Rodgers, Bell, Happ lead Prospect Team of the Week
MLBPipeline.com's Prospect Team of the Week honors the best performances from the previous seven days. Any player currently on an organization Top 30 Prospects list on our Prospect Watch is eligible, including big leaguers.
4/24/2016 | Blair realizes dream with outing against Mets
After learning that he would realize his dream to pitch in the big leagues, Braves prospect Aaron Blair flew from Charlotte to Atlanta on Saturday morning and arrived at Turner Field a short time later, only to be told that he would need to experience his final hours of anticipation away from the stadium.

Kitchen Window Treatments
- Durable products are key in this room
- Go cordless over sinks or counters
- Faux wood blinds resist heat and moisture
- Easy to clean products are smart picks
- Top down/bottom up for flexible privacy
The kitchen is the hardest working room in your home, so you'll need durable window treatments and kitchen blinds that can stand up to potential heat and moisture while still giving you the style and light control you need. If your windows are near a sink or preparation area, you will need kitchen window treatments that are also easy to clean. Shades with cordless lift are a great choice to avoid a cluttered look, add safety, and to keep cords out of the disposal. Faux wood blinds are another good choice because they will not warp or peel from the heat and moisture. Fabric shades can provide vivid color and pattern choices to match your style.

"repeat performance"

this is the 2nd window blind I bought. The fit is perfect, looks great. Love not having any cords. Will return for my next blind.View this product
"Quality at Every Level"
By BlindsFanForever from Sarasota, Fl
From the beginning process of ordering my upholstered cornice board to the easy installation of it, this purchase scored high marks every step of the way! The website itself is very user friendly, with videos and detailed instructions regarding correct measurement. Fabric quality and color were very important to me, so the unlimited free color swatches were invaluable! The finished product arrived when promised; everything was packed very well and the cornice exceeded my expectations in construction, design and value! I might add that I rarely do any kind of product review but this online shopping experience was the best ever and deserves the recognition!View this product

Popular and central

Pravee has a great garden and a good central location.
It is another fairly cramped spot but their efforts with the garden, decoration and friendly atmosphere result in more of an overall impression of intimacy than claustrophobia. Two kinds of rooms are hidden away among the manicured jungle: individual chalets and rooms in a larger block. All are well maintained, clean and come with ensuite hot showers with either air-con (newer chalets) or fan. Especially in low season they work out as a very cheap deal. Pravee is found down the same alley as, and adjacent to, Abodaya.

Hotpoint Aquarius FDF Dishwasher Fault Codes
- Details
- Hits: 26046
Fault or error codes used in Aquarius range dishwashers produced Hotpoint that have a model number starting with FDF however, these error codes may apply to a few other dishwasher brands as well.
These dishwasher fault codes will displayed as a binary code, exactly as you will see below, using the LEDs in the panel or display on the dishwasher door.
Please remember to support our site by buying Hotpoint spares from our store here and, if you decide that you really need an engineer please support the local repairers that help make this site possible, you can search for a local Hotpoint dishwasher repairer using our engineer seach facility.
Hotpoint Aquarius FDF Dishwasher Fault Codes
Like other fault codes these written for dishwasher repairers and not for the general public by Hotpoint and they assume a certain level of competence on the part of the user in diagnostic routines. We may have added some notes to try to assist you in determining the nature of the fault you have but, you will still need to investigate each failure on its own merits. For more help and advice on fault finding on a dishwasher please refer to our basic fault finding guide from this link before you begin.
Please check that any dishwasher spares recommended are suitable for use on your particular model and production code or serial number. If you are unsure about the suitability of any spare part please ask to ensure that you get the correct spares for your washing machine. Please, don't guess or assume as spares can be altered on a production run with the same model number having several different alternative components used.
A-1: Overfilling
A-2: Water inlet valve error or turbine error, dishwasher not filllling with water
A-3: Dishwasher times out when draining - water will not drain
A-4: Error detected on thermistor circuit
A-5: Circulation pump blocked or faulty
A-6: Water inlet times out, dishwasher not filllling with water
A-7: Turbine faulty - electronic module has detected no turbine rotation
A-8: Heating phase has timed out - dishwasher fails to heat the water
A-9: Software recognition error - EEPROM error
A-10: Heating circuit error detected
A-12: Communications error between control boards
A-13: Non-operative electroniuc control module
More Hotpoint Aquarius FDF Dishwasher Help, Advice And Guidance
Should you need more help and guidance please use the links from this article as most of them will help you to understand your dishwasher a lot better and probably very much help you in diagnosing the fault you have. Of course there are many other articles on the site that will also help you do this.
In addition you can post in our forums after registering but please do pay heed to the information below before doing so and read the guides, they are there to help you. But if you are in any doubt at all or don't think you are up to diagnosing the fault yourself please the engineer search.
You must understand certain things before you begin or attempt any repairs on your own and we want to make these points very, very clear to anyone that decides to investigate one of these or any other dishwashers:
- We are not responsible for your safety, you are and by using this guide you accept that and accept that any damage that you may cause and work undertaken is entirely at your own risk.
- We will advise the common causes of the fault codes but we cannot guarantee that any parts or work recommended will resolve the issue. It is entirely your responsibility to diagnose your particular problem and resolve it.
- We are not responsible for you buying spares that do not resolve the problem, this is down to your own diagnosis not ours.
- No warranty is inferred, implied or given.
Please do note that manufacturers can and do change fault codes without notice and we cannot guarantee that these error codes will apply to your particular model as all codes apply to a wide range of appliances and not normally any one specific model. To determine if these fault codes do apply to your particular Hotpoint dishwasher model please post a request to confirm this in the forums.
Applies To Dishwasher Models
These fault codes may apply to models not listed.

The industry's most scalable family of applications processors is shipping now in volume quantities, paving the way for new levels of embedded performance and energy efficiency in a wide range of fast-growing applications.
Integrating one, two or four ARM® Cortex™-A9 cores running up to 1.2 GHz, Freescale's i.MX 6 series combines outstanding performance with optimized power consumption and unmatched scalability. The series includes five devices: the single-core i.MX 6Solo and i.MX 6SoloLite, dual-core i.MX 6Dual and i.MX 6DualLite, and quad-core i.MX 6Quad applications processors. Together, these products represent the industry's only ARM-based applications processor series featuring software, power and pin compatibility across single-, dual- and quad-core implementations.
"The i.MX 6 series is distinguished by the sheer breadth of the offering, in terms of scalability, price/performance ratios, and the flexibility to support multiple applications," said Geoff Lees, senior vice president and general manager of Freescale's Microcontroller Group. "Its broad adoption across many different vertical segments, combined with strong ecosystem support, makes it the platform of choice for years to come."
i.MX 6 series applications processors have been selected to power a broad range of highly innovative products across applications including automotive infotainment systems, display-based industrial equipment, IPTV solutions, medical equipment, eReaders, market-specific media tablets and more.
Redefining state-of-the-art for applications processing
Integrated multimedia accelerators, power management capabilities, a vast array of market specific I/Os, and pin and software compatibility across families reduce overall product complexity, system cost and development investments. The i.MX 6 series offers OEMs fast time-to-value, enabling the rapid creation of complete end-product portfolios that can adjust and scale to meet evolving market demands.
Product capabilities include dual-stream 1080p H.264 video processing for 3D class video decoding, Freescale's Triple Play graphics architecture consisting of console-style 3D graphics with 200 MT/s for exceptional display resolution, separate 2D BLT engine for UI acceleration and separate 2D OpenVG engine for vector-based graphics.
Other notable features found in many of the i.MX 6 series processors include:
- Display support for up to two (dual QXGA, 2048 x 1536) or four (dual WUXGA, 1920x1200 + dual HD1080) simultaneous displays
- Display interfaces such as LVDS and HDMI
- Support for E Ink and Sipix low-power display technology
- Camera interfaces
- Optimized peripheral sets such as PCIe/SATA/GbE, USB/SD/MIPI, CAN controller/MLB150 bus tailored to service, automotive infotainment, consumer and industrial markets
- A 64-bit memory bus for optimal performance, and memory interfaces to support DDR3, DDR3L and LP-DDR2
- Advanced security features such as High Assurance Boot, cryptographic cipher engines, random number generator, and tamper detection
- Integrated power management to simplify design and reduce the number of external components
- 0.8 mm pitch BGA packaging and consumer, industrial and automotive grade products
- Longevity of supply
Freescale's i.MX 6 series features outstanding power efficiency made possible by intelligent system design, dedicated hardware accelerators, and the power-efficiency of ARM Cortex-A9 core technology. The i.MX 6 series can deliver up to 24 hours of HD video playback and 30-plus days of device standby time. Integrated power management capabilities reduce external components thereby lowering system cost and complexity.
