* Dollar pulls back from 2-month low versus yen
* U.S. budget impasse continues, but signs of hope emerge
* Still seen under pressure until a U.S. deal is reached
By Jessica Mortimer
LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - The dollar edged higher onTuesday, pulling away from a two-month low against the yen assigns emerged that U.S. lawmakers could come to an agreement toavoid a default.
However, analysts said the U.S. currency would remain underbroad selling pressure while a U.S. budget standoff continuedand kept alive the possibility that Republicans and Democratsmay not agree on the debt ceiling before an Oct. 17 deadline.
On Monday, President Barack Obama said he would accept ashort-term increase in the nation's borrowing authority to avoiddefault. An influential senator was also said to be floating aplan to cut federal spending and reform the U.S. tax code aspart of a broader deal.
The dollar was up 0.4 percent at 97.10 yen, havingdropped to 96.55 yen, its lowest since Aug. 12. It thenrecovered to trade back above chart support at 96.73 yen, its200-day moving average.
"There are a few signs of willingness from the White Houseand Congress to open up to more constructive discussions, whichsupports the view that some kind of deal will be reached and hascalmed investors' fears," said Niels Christensen, currencystrategist at Nordea.
But he added: "The risk is to the downside for the dollar aslong as we don't have an agreement ... There may be some moreeuro buying if it goes above last week's high."
The euro was down 0.1 percent at $1.3568, pullingaway from an eight-month high of $1.3645 touched on Thursday.
The dollar index, which measures the U.S. currency'svalue against a basket of currencies, was up 0.1 percent at80.026. Last week it hit an eight-month low of 79.627.
China and Japan, the United States' biggest creditors, areincreasingly worried the U.S. government shutdown and standoffover the debt ceiling could wreak havoc on their trillions ofdollars of investments in U.S. Treasury bonds.
The impasse has distracted investors from what hadpreviously been their main preoccupation: the timing of the U.S.Federal Reserve's reduction of its stimulus, which should liftthe dollar.
"No one wants to be caught short if there's a suddenresolution of the fiscal impasse, so every time the dollar takestwo steps down, it tends to take one step back up," said aresearcher at a foreign exchange market research firm in Tokyo.

Back pain after having an epidural
I recently had my third child and chose to have an epidural instead of doing it natural like in my past birthing experiences, has anyone had an epidural and experienced back pain several weeks to months later?

I have had moderate to severe pain in my back since i had an epidural 12 years ago when i had my daughter. The doctor had told my family that if i didn't have one then they would have to do a c-section because my daughter was going back in when my contractions would stop because i was in so much pain. So i decided to have one ,wish i never would have, just because i was scared of a c-section. Since i had it i have had back problems and all the doctors i have been to since says it's not related to the epidural but i know better. I didn't have back problems at all till i had gotten it. They say they can't find anything wrong with my back but i live in pain everyday.posted 06/07/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I recently had my 1rst child he's 2months now and i would say at least every 4 to 5 days i have EPIDURAL pain in my back they start like period cramps slowy spreading through your rib cage to your spine you feel sharp sting pain that leads to your back leaving you short of breath for 5 whole minutes and what the longest 5 minutes ever try to stay still and take deep hard breaths pain relievers don't work fast enough i tryed pain was still going some of these pains stay longer then 5 minutes just pray yours dont but want the pian is gone what relief i mostly start having pain 5am 6am or round 8 am i neva had them doin the day or at night ok thank for reading hope i was some type of help to youposted 05/20/2011 by boshamesha
My epidural pain disappeared after 5 years.My first epidural in 2002 caused my back to lock up completely if I rolled onto my stomach while sleeping. (I'd literally have to call for help to roll over!) I also felt fragile, achy, and had nerve pain, like many have described, just doing what I do. After my 2nd epidural, the same issues appeared, although they sort-of snuck up on me months later. I also developed neurogenic bladder, but it occurred 8 months post delivery. This is the only 'injury' to the spine I've incurred, so it's the most most likely source. As for long term pain, Sisters, I hope for all of you that it is short lived. My experience proves that it can go away. But my second experience also proves that sometimes more than pain is at stake when they place an epidural.posted 05/10/2011 by oumrayan
I had my daughter 3 years ago and I asked for the epidural and it was a horrible experience. I was overweight and they say that makes it harder to determine where teh needle needs to go, but they had to keep poking me. They did it like 3 or 4 times and the final time they got it, but he did it too high up on my back. The dr did it right above where my bra strap it. Because it was so high up it was numbing my upper body instead of my lower body and they had to take it out. They said it could have eventually suffocated me. Anyways so right before I had to push they put some kind of pain med in my iv and made me feel loopy, but i felt everything. Now 3 years later the spot where the epidural was hurts a lot. If I am on my feet too long it will hurt very bad like someone is poking me with a needle. Also I get a tingling sensation in the spot a lot. it almost feels cold.posted 04/24/2011 by alissa16
I had an epidural with my first pregnany (hearing all the stories and watching to many tv shows about birth had me scared) and that was 4 years ago now and I still get back pain ALOT! I get the pain from the spot where it was done all the way down. Some women are different and don't get any pain afterwards. I am now pregnant with my third child and I plan on doing this one naturally.posted 11/05/2008 by babesreverything0406
i had my son vaginaly and got the epidural, i had back pain right after i had him and i thought it would just go away, wen it didnt at my post partum i told my dr and they decided to wait a little longer and see if it gets better, and it didnt, my son is now 5months and if i change his diaper while sitting on the bed i have to hurry cause if im there too long my back will kill me, i cant pick stuff of the floor, well i can but if its too much stuff that will make me bend over and over i wont do it, my husband has to do it.posted 04/10/2011 by sooadorable03
I am glad I am not the only one experiencing this. My son is almost 4 yrs old. I had an epidural with him, the first Dr. was a newbie and wasn't able to get my epidural in, he attempted several times and ended up rupturing the sac. After he screwed up he called in a more senior Dr. to do the epidural. I ended up having emergency C-section after trying for 5 hrs. Because the newbie screwed up, I ended up with spinal headaches, the first 2 weeks of my son's life I was confined to bed because I had serious headaches. Last year I started having serious lower back pain, there were times that I couldn't even stand for more than 2 minutes before my legs would give out. I've been to the Chiropractor with no help. I recently had an x-ray of my back done and just as I had expected, it shows nothing is wrong with my lower back. I would love to have another child but don't know if my back or mysellf for that matter could take it.posted 04/08/2011 by janderson3
Had my daughter 5 weeks ago. I planned on a natural delivery but I was tlaked into the epidural when I did not take the membrane rupturing too well - I was told that if I have such a low pain tolerance level, I should deifintely go for epidural. I am beginning to regret it. My back hurts at the exact spot - it is not a strong pain but it is still painful and annoying and makes all the bending and lifting much harder. I am also scared that it will get worse...If it wont subside soon, I'll see a doctor about it.posted 03/24/2011 by mokbelm

i have been trying to do research on my back pain, and when I came across this..I was so happy to see more people like me. Now I know I'm not crazy!! :) My lower back painn started about three years after my first son was born. I was up cooking lunch and all of a sudden I fell to the floor. Felt like I was paralyized. I had to tell my three year old to bring me the phone so I could call my husband to come help me. My pain comes and goes. After our 2nd child he was a natural delievery I didn't have epidural with him. but our third one I did and something went wrong I had that killer headache then they gave me a coke to drink to help. it;s been since 1998 and I have had chronis pain with my back ever since. I've been to dr. for muscle relaxers, pain pills, just went last week for a steroids shot..nothing has helped.I have done several floor stretches, I've done heat and ice. I'm ready to stop hurting!!!

Can someone please explain to me why it is starting to seem impossible to get pregnant! Its not that hard of a concept...have sex when you ovulate and POOF! a baby! I guess not! It took me 8 months to get pregnant with my first. I SWORE that with this one I would just let it happen and wouldnt worry. Well, after 6 months and a m/c im about DONE! Then last night I get a text from a friend that she is pregnant! She was told after her first that she probally wouldnt have any more because of her medical history! she got pregnant oon the first try!!! Then my 39 year old friend got married last month...POOF ..just found out last night shes pregnant! What am I doing wrong! I guess it bothers me that people whoe dont exacally have odds going for them are getting pregnant easerir than me! I realize its just not my time and it will happen when its suppose to blah blah blah..but im tired of this
in need of a rant!

i understand complelty what your going thru. two of my friends have kids already. both were not planned at all. my husband and i have been tryin for our first only for 3 months but it still gets tireing. one friend got pregnant the first time she ever had sex. then other got pregnant by accedent. i love my friends and their kids but i want one of my own. YOUR NOT ALONE!
thanks ladies! it really is noce to be able to get on here and not feel alone.
I understand how you feel completely. Before my SIL got her tubes tied, it seemed like all someone would have to do is look at her and she would be pregnant. She already has 2 beautiful kids and its not fair that some women have it so easy to conceive and then there are women like us who want to be mothers so badly and are having such a hard time making that dream come true. Its just so unfair!
Good Luck

Siiri Sampson 2011. If only this were today . . . Sun, why do you hate us?
With all the buzz on Seattle-centric news outlets yesterday about the grand 78 minutes of summer Seattle has seen so far, getting outside isn't looking all that promising. However, if the sun ever shows its face again, you'll want to be prepared for the next 78 minutes of glory. All that aside, Seattle natives are known for loving the outdoors, come rain or
Siiri Sampson 2011. If only this were today . . . Sun, why do you hate us? shine rain. So regardless of the forecast, you'll want to know the top five best parks for a picnic around the city.
From Sandpoint to the Magnolia bluffs, the Emerald City's got some of the most scenic views to be had. Even when a storm comes in, watching the clouds roll up into the Sound is an event not to be missed. On that note, go get your dusty picnic basket out of storage, throw together a few finger foods, and grab your parka--by God, we're having a picnic!
5. Olympic Sculpture Park & Myrtle Edwards (2901 Western Ave.)
Urban escape + runners' paradise? Done and done. Before the Olympic Sculpture Park came along, Myrtle Edwards Park was sorely underused by city dwellers due to obscured access and poor parking. With a renewed layout, interesting, oversized sculptures, and even a little parking, the new Olympic Sculpture Park has re-energized Myrtle Edwards and given it a whole new user base. This little piece of grass amid railroad tracks and waterfront piers is great for the spontaneous Sunday picnic of friends, coffee, and doughnuts. Rather than pulling up a seat on the gravel steps overlooking the wavy bronze-colored statues, get your breakfast to go and meander past the grain mill and the partially burned out P-I globe for a relaxing in-city getaway.
4. Kerry Park (211 W. Highland Dr.)
If ever there were a romantic cityscape to take a date to--day or night--it's Kerry Park. Perched atop Queen Anne's south-facing hillside, right along Highland Drive and looking out over the waterfront, smoochers and runners alike can watch the city go by. Kerry Park has a quaintness about it that is steeped in the history of the Counterbalance and the powerful families of Seattle like the Dennys. While small, it never feels crowded, and you can easily keep your back to the large, obtrusive metal sculptures that dot the park's brick walkway. While most people are relegated to simply getting this view during a transitional scene of Grey's Anatomy, we're lucky enough to have it just sitting there, waiting for an impromptu picnic dinner.
Laurel Mercury
3. Gas Works (2101 N. Northlake Way)
Two words sum up this iconic hillside locale: quintessential Seattle. Only in the city of green, where people wear their REI shells to the opera, will you find a defunct crude-oil plant turned city park with a sundial, hazardous sediment, and access to the Burke-Gilman Trail. Atop the windy path and rolling hillside, you'll find college kids playing a game of cornhole, families flying kites, and, every Tuesday, a perfect view of the Lake Union Duck Dodge. Bring a blanket for your picnic, as there are no tables. But what it lacks in dining surfaces, it makes up tenfold in ambience. Gas Works is of course the site of July 4 fireworks viewing, but the everyday view of the water, boats, and sunsets are just as amazing.
Vintage 1965 aerial shot.
2. Magnuson (7400 Sand Point Way N.E.)
All aboard the Ultimate Frisbee and BBQ train! It's headed to Magnuson Park on the double--every day of the year. This place may be a bit off the beaten trail for anyone not living in the U District/Laurelhurst/Sandpoint area, but you'd never know it by the looks of things. Between the off-leash dog-park area and the rocky beach with public launch and swim access, this park pleases the masses. There are ample parking, picnic tables, and people-watching to be had. The perfect picnic for this Northwest gem should include something from at least one of your favorite local take-out joints, some coffee from nearby Gretchen's, and a pint or two of the local cherries being hawked across the street from the main entrance. Just be wary of all the off-leash critters, tiny tots, and boat trailers just waiting to run out in front of your car.
1. Discovery Park (3801 Discovery Park Blvd.)
By far the all-time best park in Seattle, and the most historic, Discovery Park (formerly Fort Lawton) has an expanse of acreage (534 to be exact), trails, and viewpoints. Besides the amazing views and frequent wildlife sightings, this park takes you from the bluffs to the beach within a matter of minutes, and was named the 2010 Best In-City Hiking Trail. From its military history, complete with missile battery construction, to its Native American cultural center, no park has more to offer. Pack up your 2.4 kids and the dog, and get ye to a grassy knoll for the amazing sunset.

Oestrogen increases the activity of oestrogen receptor-negative breast cancer stem cells through paracrine EGFR and Notch signalling
IntroductionAlthough oestrogen is essential for the development of the normal breast, adult mammary stem cells are known to be oestrogen receptor alpha (ER) negative and rely on paracrine signals in the mammary epithelium for mediation of developmental cues. However, little is known about how systemic oestrogen regulates breast cancer stem cell (CSC) activity.
Methods: Here, we tested the effects of oestrogen on CSC activity in vitro and in vivo and investigated which paracrine signalling pathways locally mediate oestrogen effects.
Results: CSC-enriched populations (ESA+CD44+CD24low) sorted from ER positive patient-derived and established cell lines have low or absent ER expression.
However, oestrogen stimulated CSC activity demonstrated by increased mammosphere and holoclone formation in vitro and tumour formation in vivo. This effect was abrogated by the anti-oestrogen tamoxifen or ER siRNA.
These data suggest that the oestrogen response is mediated through paracrine signalling from non-CSCs to CSCs. We have therefore investigated both epidermal growth factor (EGF) and Notch receptor signals down-stream of oestrogen.
We demonstrate that gefitinib (EGFR inhibitor) and gamma secretase inhibitors (Notch inhibitor) block oestrogen-induced CSC activity in vitro and in vivo but GSIs more efficiently reduce CSC frequency.
Conclusions: These data establish that EGF and Notch receptor signalling pathways operate downstream of oestrogen in the regulation of ER negative CSCs.

I swapped a few notes with Moondoggies frontman Kevin Murphy last week in preview of the band's co-headlining shows with the Maldives this weekend at the Tractor. Murphy gave me a heads up about what's happening with the band's third record, and follow up to their expansive sophomore album, Tidelands, in 2010. Here's what we know so far:
Renee McMahon
-- The album will be released on Hardly Art, the Sub Pop subsidiary that released Tidelands and the band's debut, Don't Be a Stranger.
-- The band has 30 songs in consideration for the record.
-- They plan on finishing the record this year. But ... "Don't wanna rush this one like we've done before," Murphy says.
-- Founding bassist Robert Terreberry is back in the fold after taking some time off. Jon Pontrello, a pedal-steel guitarist, who has a long, on-again off-again history with the band, is back in as well.
And that's it for now. If you're hurting for some more Moondoggies, they've posted their December show at the Neptune to their web site. And you can download the whole thing for free. You can also, of course, check them out on Friday and Saturday at the Tractor.

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Robin Gourmet Burgers Inc.
), a chain of casual dining restaurants, recently announced that it
plans to open a new restaurant in Arcadia, California on January 9,
2012. Earlier, in July this year, the company opened a new
restaurant in Lakewood, California. Currently, Red Robin has more
than 72 locations in California.
We believe that the core Californian market, which was badly hit
during the housing downturn, has begun to turnaround. The gradual
recovery in this market, which is one of the major operational
locations for the company, should be a key growth driver going
The new restaurant will come up at 400 S. Baldwin Ave. at the
Westfield Santa Anita Mall. Given the strategic location of this
new restaurant, we believe that it will drive significant growth in
the coming days. Apart from its popular offering of gourmet
burgers, entrees, salads and beverages, the menu will offer an
interesting variety for children.
Furthermore, to drive revenue at the new location, the burger
chain intends to implement a guest loyalty program called Red
Royalty, focused on retaining guests by providing dining benefits.
The company will also use a Limited Time Offer (LTO) strategy
supported with television advertising to drive traffic and create
brand recognition.
Colorado-based Red Robin primarily focuses on expediting food
orders in a colorful and family-friendly atmosphere that appeals to
women and children. As a result, 30% of its customers are aged
under 18.
Red Robin, which currently operates more than 460 restaurants
across the United States and Canada, remains on track to open 12
full-size restaurants and its first smaller prototype restaurants
in 2011 followed by 12 to 15 in 2012, including both full-sized and
smaller prototype units. We believe that small-size restaurants
will drive growth in non-traditional locations and also improve
return on invested capital.
The company is also expanding through franchise, as it reduces
capital requirement of the company and ensures a stable growth
profile. Currently, the restaurant base is 70% company-operated and
30% franchised. To further encourage franchising, the company will
also charge less franchisee fee from existing franchisees if they
build new restaurants. The company expects to roll out three new
franchised restaurants in 2011.
Red Robin currently has a Zacks #3 Rank, which implies a Hold
rating over the short term. We also reiterate our long-term Neutral
recommendation on the stock, given the company's efforts to turn
around its business in 2011 by focusing on revenue growth, expense
control by cost-cutting initiatives and capital deployment.
However, commodity cost pressure and an uncertain economic
environment resulting in lower traffic and stiff competition from
peers such as
BJ's Restaurants Inc.
) and
The Cheesecake Factory Inc.
) make us cautious.Additionally, labor expense, which primarily
hampers margin upside, is also expected to rise in 2012.

Holy Mother of God.
Let's jsut say I love (horror)games. My favorites were F.E.A.R. (first and second one), Clive Barker's Jericho, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space... I'm a gamer, but also a singer.

Hello. Nice work, indeed, but me being a musician, I don't like the music at all...
Gosh, gosh. Good! :D
Indeed, nice ideas here! Tracking.
Why don't you make a more "blocky"-one? ^^
Since it's made with Unity, I can answer my own question...
Indeed, you do ^^ but how's this game working? A first person perspective, but explorable in full 3D or is it like a point-and-click, with images?
Nice-looking. Indeed, atmosphere seems very close to the first SH, so you did a great job.
Color correction. It's quite a bit darker.
But still, nice update ;)
It's looking very very good. Hope it'll count on some succes!
Simply no idea why you downgrade him. He's making a great compliment, in fact.
It's very nice, but don't you think it's a bit too slow for a battle?
Very nice... But like a lot of people, waiting for screenshots!
I think he's using a computer...
Holy. Crap.
You guys are completely crazy, I hope you know that? And I like it. A lot.
Nice :)
Gotcha ;)
Nice concept art :)
Indeed, it's ashaming.
Great idea. Tracking!
That's not a reason to downgrade him -_- he may develop an opinion, no?
Woooh, good-looking!
That's a great idea!!
You too :)
Snow is in da house; babyyyyy!!!
So, without criticising this time. Am I the only one shocked by the number of elements stolen from F.E.A.R.1?

NEW YORK ( TheGoldAndOilGuy.com) -- For the first time in over 30 years, talk of a return to the gold standard has become part of mainstream politics in the U.S. It became part of the official Republican policy at the recent Republican convention and the party supports the creation of a new commission to look at reestablishing the link between gold and the U.S. dollar. No doubt that plank was added to soothe supporters of Texas Congressman Ron Paul.However, gold bugs holding gold bullion or even those holding gold ETFs such as the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) shouldn't hold their breath in anticipation of the gold standard returning. There was a similar commission -- the Gold Commission -- set up in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan. After a lot of "commissioning," the decision was made to go with the status quo of using fiat Federal Reserve dollars.

Can I just say, right off the top, that I love working a job where thinking about superheroes is a legitimate use of my professional time? It is so awesome that I can tell my wife – with a reasonably straight face – that yes, reading this Superman comic right now IS IN FACT professional development. My goodness. What a time to be alive.
But it's not JUST readin' comics. There is some heavier mental lifting involved. Take this wonderful book that I just finished: Jill Lepore's The Secret History of Wonder Woman.
Lepore is a Harvard history professor and her dig into the cultural history of Wonder Woman took her deep into the Harvard archives. Woman Woman was created by the American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston. That much I knew, but there is a whole Iot that I didn't know.

The Little Red Hen
Saturday, June 4
Wranglers, ropers, cowboy hats--the urban Seattle eye is unaccustomed to viewing such rustic country duds displayed in full regalia. But Greenlake's Little Red Hen is where urban cowboys and girls can go for their honky-tonk fix, and anyone who's ever seen them will tell you there's never a better night to go than when Knut Bell and the Blue Collars are playing. Saturday night was no exception. The band's upbeat covers of beloved country songs, ballads, and anthems mixed with some of Bell's own kept the packed dance floor twirling well past midnight.
Bell is an imposing figure--broad-shouldered, barrel-chested, with a deep baritone to match. But his stage persona is good-natured and inviting, and as soon as the set began promptly at 9 p.m., dancing couples were out on the floor. Things were already in motion for an evening of casual, low-key entertainment, but the Blue Collars were in fine form and kept the energy up, easily complementing Bell's smooth twang with rich, reverby pedal steel and a steady, driving drum beat.
In between a good dose of Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash covers, Bell threw in his hometown pride anthem "Skagit Days" and the Jennings-esque "Wicked Ornry Mean and Nasty," along with some David Allen Coe and Bob Dylan songs. It was a variety bag of folk, rock, and country, all dressed up in what Bell calls "honkahillyrockabilly"--and a blast at that. Dancers were visibly drunk and couples were getting elbowed and nudged on the dance floor, but Bell--and nobody else--didn't seem to mind. After a few rockabilly versions of "Happy Birthday" and friendly reminders to the crowd to tip their bartenders, the band was still playing when I left around 12:30, just as hard-working as their name implies.
The Scene: Packed, lots of beer drinkers, two bars. Urban cowboys, 20-ish singles, single old-timers, dancing couples old and young. Fun-loving, easy-going scene.
Overheard in the crowd: "If you see the hunky bassist, that's my dad."
"It's un-Seattle, I love it. There's 70-year-old guys in their Wranglers and cowboy hats."
"Ken--he's the best in the state." --Knut Bell, on his pedal steel player.

Team Ireland spent two days in Seoul City participating in the Host Town programme at Seoul's Women's University. The team, comprised of eleven men and three women, charmed their hosts so much that 5 students from the University got on a bus at 4.30 am in the morning to make the 3.5 hour journey to PyeongChang to see their boys in green compete in Division 2 in floorball. They arrived just in time for the first match at 10am against Austria which was won 11-7. Austria then fought back at 6-5. But the Korean students witnessed history in the making. After a tough day of competitions with many highs and lows and that called on the boys to bring out their fighting Irish spirit, a bronze medal was secured with a 11-1 win against Korea. This was the first time for Ireland to be represented in floorball in an international competition - a victory all the sweeter because it was shared with new friends.

Do you know what part you need?
Have you ever done a repair like this before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS304364
This water valve and bracket assembly comes with both the primary and secondary valve. This is a redesign from the original, but will still work and function the same. Contains a new quick connect style, just cut off old plastic nuts from tubing and push them into the valve.
NOTE: If original wiring harness doesn't work, then you must order is separately.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
This part has one port and 2 solenoids and comes with a mounting bracket. The water valve is a solenoid-operated switch located at the bottom of the refrigerator. When it is energized by electrical power, water is released from the supply line through the water valve and into the compact icemaker mold.
*Please note, this part is a substitute from the original. The valve is a new quick connect. No nuts or connectors are needed, just cut the old nuts off of the tubing and gently push them into the valve.
1) Shut off water source.2) Unplug Refrigerator.3) Remove screws on bottom rear panel.4) Disconnect water connection at valve assembly.5) Remove single screw holding valve assembly.6) Transfer electrical connections from old valve to new.7) Transfer all water connections from old valve to new. Push in ring to release tubing.8) Replace rear panel. Reconnect water source. Plug in refrigerator. Turn on water source.

I unplugged the refrigerator and removed the black fiberboard panel at the back of the unit. I turned off the water at the wall and disconnected the copper water line from the unit. One bolt holds the valve assembly in place. Once the bolt is removed you simply pull the unit out of the refrigerator. I took the time to mark all electrical connections and water lines (1, 2, 3, etc.) and wrote the corresponding numbers on the new valve unit. I unplugged the electrical connections and removed all water lines by gently squeezing them with the pliers and pulling them out of the old valve. After everything was disconnected I connected the new valve. The numbering system made it easy to know exactly which plug/line went where and it was reconnected in less than 2 mins. I slid the unit back, replaced the single bolt holding the unit, reconnected the main copper water line, turned it on, placed the fiberboard back in place and was done. We had an estimate from a refrigerator repairman of $275 to change this valve, parts & labor. We thought it was ridiculously high and decided to attempt the repair ourselves. Best decision we ever made and saved a fortune.This is definitely an easy fix. Go for it!
First, I moved the refrigerator out from the wall, unplugged from the electrical outlet, disconnected the copper tubing to the refrigerator, removed screws holding the cardboard backing, removed the nuts holding the assembly to the refrigerator and pulled it out. At that point, I disconnected the tubing units and wiring connectors from the assembly one by one attaching to the new assembly as I went. However, this was not possible in the case of two wiring connectors. Evidently, the replacement part was made differently than the original. I had to rewire the replacement part as it allowed and then put the reconnected assembly back in place. I then placed the cardboard panel and reattached the copper tubing. Everything is working and no more leaks!
1. Unplugged fridge & Removed bottom left black access panel2. Removed 1 screw with nutdriver which was holding the valve/bracket assembly in place3. Pulled out valve assembly and disconnected electrical connector.4. Pushed in retaining rings around each of the water lines and pulled water lines out5. Replaced cracked water lines by cutting off bad section. Connected new 1.4" &5/16" OD tubing using quick connect couplers (ACE hardware).6. Insert water lines into new valve assembly7. Connect electrical connector to new assembly8. Installed valve assembly back into fridge and put the single screw back in.9. Put the back panel back on10. Plugged fridge back in.
The problem of an icing dispenser and water leaks under the refrigerator is usually a valve problem. On this particular model there are two water valve solenoids. On investigation of the valve, unplug the refrigerator and turn off the water suppply valve FIRST.The valve was leaking from the 5/16" quick-connection on the secondary solenoid, probably an o-ring failure. I replaced the entire valve assembly which involves sequentially reinserting the water hoses into the proper openings and replacing the wire harness.I re-ordered another secondary valve and installed it on the old valve assembly as a spare. The 5/16" quick--connect has a slight variation from the original and appears to be an upgrade.

Costumes for sale- Katara and SerahJournal Entry: Tue Jul 9, 2013, 10:03 PM
In order to pay for my medical bills, as well as fund upcoming costumes, I've decided to part with a few costumes.
So far, I have listed Katara (eskimo parka) and Serah on Ebay: www.ebay.com/itm/Katara-cospla… and www.ebay.com/itm/Serah-Final-F…
I am considering selling others, but I haven't finalized that yet. As usual, here is a link to my Etsy www.etsy.com/shop/ichigokitty?… and storenvy ichigokitty.storenvy.com/ where I have Chii ears (exactly like mine), prints, cosplay accessories, and some costumes.
I hope you enjoy!

Thats never fun. Hope you feel well!
Costume looks great. Good luck with the sell.
Good luck with the sale.
the katara cosplay looks interesting.....too bad i dont have enough money
Such amazing costumes. Too bad they are too small for me.
I've tried losing some weight, so I could maybe fit into a medium (instead of large, extra large and extra extra large in some cases) and be more confident in myself and my cosplay, and to be healthier.... But that didn't go so well... Long story short I was really disgusted with how my local gym behaves.
But yeah, hope you find a buyer for them because they are awesome!!
The Katara coslay is really amazing... Good luck... ^^
Hope all goes well with the sale! Medical bills really suck, especially after all you go through.

by Amish Patel - September 26, 2011

He wrote, "Might need surgery #2 on my knee this week, need to go back in & reinforce the pcl ( Posterior ligament) Shouldn't b bad,hopefully!1 luv 619"
Mysterio blew out his knee while attempting a baseball slide during a match against Alberto Del Rio on the August 15 episode of Raw.

It Ain't Me, Babe
Was Dylan really terrible in the '80s—or had we just forgotten how to listen to him?
So if it wasn't really the writing and performances that explain 1980s Dylan's outcast status, what was it? I think it was deep cultural structure, on two fronts.
Rock began as music rooted in an awkward time of life, pitched to move adolescents and often made by people barely out of their teens. What sustained it and made it dominant was that in addressing teen metamorphosis, that nervy, in-between energy turned out to speak by proxy to larger shifts, such as the post-war schism of tradition and consumerism; nuclear-age existential vertigo; tensions between the sexes or among black, white, and brown in America; and much more.
However, rock had trouble assimilating the next big transitional point in most people's development—the different kind of awkwardness of middle age. As Mick Jagger guessed in 1966, "What a drag it is getting old." At least for a while. As it's turned out, rock-era figures are OK at becoming seniors—Dylan, Neil Young, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie, and many other icons wear their silvering hair with élan. The painful part came earlier, in the 1980s, when those stars hit their 40s and began to resemble the parents they once seemed born to vex.
Young, Joni Mitchell, the Grateful Dead, Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, the Who, Van Morrison, of course Dylan, and even the Clash—almost no Boomer icons escaped being tarred as sellouts and has-beens in the 1980s, often by critics barely a few years younger who expected rock gods to be exempt from time's scythe. Today, I think, we are beyond that fantasy and project less shame onto aging artists, which makes them less prone to wriggle into self-conscious updates as if they were unflatteringly tight shirts.
Beyond rock's internal growing pains, though, the '80s were a time of cultural counterrevolution, led by stock brokers, family-values preachers, and the Reagan White House, demanding the total liberation of the market and the re-regulation of private life. Liberal millionaire celebrities didn't fit on any side: They weren't down with the agenda, but they were fat cats still. A new globalized order was emerging—the one we're still living with—and the utopian platitudes of their youth didn't have much to say about it.
Yet 1980s critics still expected rock to be about resistance, and rock was letting them down, Dylan maybe most of all. Which is silly, ultimately, because aside from his brief bouts of true-believer fervor for civil rights or for Jesus (and often even then), Dylan always keeps on doing the only thing he's built to do, which is to mulch all incoming data into symbol, rhetoric, jape, and patter. In the 21st century, he's applauded for it again, but in the 1980s his audience wanted more, and Bob Dylan's never really taken requests—ask him for a shovel and he'll give you an armadillo, shrugging, "Look, man, they both dig."
And this is where the Bob Dylan in the 80s project whiffs: Mostly it just hands us the shovel. To show that these are good rock songs, it presents them as good rock songs. Which is fine at first but adds little to the originals. Aside from Finn, slipping by on sheer charisma, the exception is musical clown Reggie Watts' version of "Brownsville Girl," Dylan's 11-minute ramble co-written with Sam Shepard from 1986's Knocked Out Loaded—Watts turns it into a four-minute chunk of lovers-rock reggae, mainly singing the chorus but also rolling random lyrics around his mouth with his supple lolling tongue.*
Since one thing Dylan's never had the pipes to do is to sing very prettily, I'm also taken with a couple of the ballads—Dawn Landes and Bonnie Prince Billy's duet on "Dark Eyes" and My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel's rendition of "Death Is Not the End." Otherwise most of these versions simply seem like rote payments of respect, with the singers sounding pseudo-Dylanish, the way other actors often seem like they're doing Woody Allen imitations when they're in his movies.
Once the point's been made, why listen to a bunch of competent knockoffs when I can go back and hear Dylan himself delivering the songs with all his own messy, wrecked, cobwebbed, missing-person, bottomless-pit mystery? At least then they're part of a suspense drama in progress, not a toast at a commemorative banquet.
If you are looking for a record that freshens up some of Dylan's music from that era, seek out Gotta Serve Somebody from 2003, on which black gospel singers perform his born-again numbers. It hints that maybe proselytization wasn't motivating him so much as the urge to leave his mark on yet another of America's best musical traditions. (I'm also looking forward to Light in the Attic Records' coming reissue of 1969's Dylan's Gospel, where his 1960s standards are given the salvation treatment by the California collective The Brothers & Sisters, including Merry Clayton, whom you may know from the Oscar-winning doc 20 Feet From Stardom.)
Bob Dylan in the 80s is tagged Vol. 1, but if there's going to be a sequel, let it be a ménage of artists from varied genres, with a mandate to rip the tunes up and patch them into cockamamie alien designs. Dylan notoriously does that to his songs in concert, and he's done it to his identity and role in the culture decade after decade, even when it's garnered him only grief. As the old coot himself might drawl, "C'mon, honey, give a real tug on that skinny necktie."
Correction, April 2, 2014: This article originally misspelled the last name of Sam Shepard. (Return.)

3 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks Leading The Pack: BP, BPL, APU
AmeriGas PartnersDividend Yield: 7.90% AmeriGas Partners (NYSE: APU) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.90%. AmeriGas Partners, L.P. operates as a retail and wholesale distributor of propane gas, and related equipment and supplies in the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 25.29. The average volume for AmeriGas Partners has been 296,200 shares per day over the past 30 days. AmeriGas Partners has a market cap of $3.9 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 12.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Tuesday. TheStreet Ratings rates AmeriGas Partners as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year, compelling growth in net income, revenue growth, growth in earnings per share and expanding profit margins. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500.
- The net income growth from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded that of the S&P 500 and the Gas Utilities industry. The net income increased by 61.3% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$89.38 million to -$34.60 million.
- APU's revenue growth trails the industry average of 17.4%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 1.7%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- AMERIGAS PARTNERS -LP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AMERIGAS PARTNERS -LP swung to a loss, reporting -$0.05 versus $1.51 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($2.27 versus -$0.05).
- 38.42% is the gross profit margin for AMERIGAS PARTNERS -LP which we consider to be strong. Regardless of APU's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of -5.94% trails the industry average.

DisappointedPosted on 04 / 10 / 2015
I've heard amazing things about Sona, so my husband and I decided to give it a shot. From the outside, it looks horrid, but we were brave and entered.
1. The atmosphere was fine. Nothing too special, but miles better than how it looks from the outside.
2. The service was excellent, and the owner came out to ask about our meal while we ate (not in an obtrusive way).
3. The food didn't impress. I couldn't even tell you what we ate because both dishes had basically the same flavor. We are both food lovers, and the only reason we finished our meals was out of politeness. The food didn't taste BAD, but it wasn't good enough to actually make us want to continue eating.
Admittedly, my husband and I are not huge fans of Indian food, so maybe an Indian food lover would feel much differently about this restaurant, but we were not impressed at all, so we won't be returning. I'm not sure what all the rave reviews are about.
Updated from previous review on Sunday August 10, 2014
UPDATE: All of the good stuff I said above stands, but I'd like to alter the negative.
We recently went to a Meetup that met at Sona. At the Meetup, the chef created four vegan dishes for everyone to share, and through trying them, I discovered what I don't like about Indian food: curry. I love curry in Thai food, but apparently I dislike Indian curry, because every non-curry dish he brought out was a big hit with me. I especially loved the saag and vindaloo.
The rice is also great!
I'm glad we returned for the Meetup, because this restaurant is actually a gem. I'm about to visit now!

Which is exactly what this gentlemen was doing at the bus stop in front of Harborview at 8 a.m. this morning. Asking someone to turn off their music -- even if its 8 a.m. Aeorsmith -- is like asking someone to sit down at a concert. But the folks waiting for the bus were putting up with a lot this morning.
The greatest benefit of the advent of the Walkman and its mp3-playing offspring is the ability to listen to Gwen Stefani and Neil Diamond without the corresponding social stigma. But if you've got no shame, well, what's the point of ditching the boombox?

New order bookings in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $28,013,000, an increase of $10,099,000, or 56%, compared to the prior year period. Orders in the North America, Europe and Asia Pacific regions increased $2,444,000, or 45%, $4,312,000, or 38%, and $3,343,000, or 285%, respectively. For the first nine months of fiscal 2010, new orders totaled $79,213,000, an increase of $18,648,000, or 31%, from the corresponding period in 2009. Of that increase, North America, Europe and Asia Pacific orders increased $2,946,000, or 16%, $7,005,000, or 18%, and $8,697,000, or 316%, respectively. The impact of currency translation on new orders booked in the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 was consistent with the impact on sales.Hurco's gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 was 18%, compared to 28% for the same period in 2009. The decrease in profit as a percentage of sales was the result of machines sold during the period which were produced at a time of lower production levels that resulted in higher production costs per machine which increased this period's cost of sales. Also contributing to the decrease was a product mix that included a greater amount of our entry-level, lower margin machines that were in high demand in the Asia Pacific region where competitive pricing pressure also exists. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 2010 were $6,994,000, a decrease of $206,000, or 3%, from the corresponding period in 2009, reflecting the benefit of cost reduction initiatives and the favorable effect of a stronger U.S. Dollar in fiscal 2010 when translating foreign operating expenses for financial reporting purposes, partially offset by increased sales commissions.
