I hope it's Tom Browning so he isn't the one responsible for giving pitching advice. I've heard some bad things about him condoning bad mechanics and things like that.
Wow, that's weird. He seemed like he was really excited aout trying his hand at managing. I don't think the minor league managers and coaches make a ton of money, perhaps the AAA salary was just too good to pass up.
edit - after seeing article, it was all about the commute.

Good riddance, hope you had the time of your life
If this was really about the commute, I think it's kind of interesting because Carolina isn't all that far away. Didn't he have the opportunity to stay as manager of the Mudcats?
No, he was previously hitting coach of Carolina. Obviously if he was offered Manager at AA versus Manager at Low A he would have taken AA.

Dragons lose new manager
By Marc Katz
Staff Writer
Wednesday, December 24, 2008
DAYTON Jamie Dismuke, who was to manage the Dayton Dragons this summer, has instead taken a job as hitting coach for the Class AAA Gwinnett (Ga.) Braves in the Atlanta Braves organization.
"It's a better situation for me," said Dismuke, who lives with his family in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he has spent the last few years as hitting coach (and the final month of last season as manager of the Class AA Lookouts). "Gwinnett is an hour and 45 minutes from my home. It's perfect for my family, plus it's a Triple-A job."
The Reds have not announced who will take over the Dragons after letting go of Donnie Scott, who managed the team the last two seasons.
Leon Roberts, a former minor-league hitting coordinator with the Reds, was announced as the Dragons manager for 2007. However, before the season, he took the same job with the Braves that Dismuke is taking, when the franchise's AAA team was in Richmond, Va.
Now Roberts is the Braves' minor-league coordinator, and he helped pry Dismuke away from the Reds.
Dismuke spent the last nine years in the Reds' organization, and said he told Cincinnati player development director Terry Reynolds the move had nothing to do with dissatisfaction with the Reds or the job in Dayton.
"It wasn't an easy decision," Dismuke said. "It wasn't about money or anything. Terry understood. He's a class act." Reynolds could not be reached Tuesday night.
Dismuke was to be part of an all new Dragons field staff, including hitting coach Todd Benzinger and pitching coach Rigo Beltran.
Yes but did not have an opportunity to stay as manager.

Dragons want new manager in place soon
By Marc Katz
Staff Writer
Thursday, December 25, 2008
DAYTON Cincinnati Reds director of development Terry Reynolds said he hopes to hire a new manager for the Dayton Dragons by the first of the year, but, "It won't happen this weekend, so you can relax," he said with a laugh Wednesday, Dec. 24.
On Tuesday, the Braves organization announced the hiring of Jamie Dismuke as their hitting coach at Class AAA Gwinnett (Ga.). Dismuke, who had been with the Reds organization for nine years, had been scheduled to manage the Class A Dragons.
"I was surprised by the timing," said Reynolds, mindful that most minor-league jobs are secured by now. "But I'm happy for Jamie. He has a passion for hitting, and he'll be close to (his Chattanooga) home."
Reynolds said he is in the process of interviewing candidates for the Dayton job, open because the Reds told Donnie Scott they would not rehire him after 19 years with the organization five as manager of the Dragons, including the past two seasons.
Reynolds would give no reason for the Scott departure, only wishing him well.
"At some point, we're going to have to add a person to our staff, but I don't know if we'll move someone we have now into the Dayton job or bring someone in from outside," Reynolds said. "We are going to look at some people from outside."
The Reds went outside their existing staff to hire David Bell to manage their new Class AA team in Carolina. Last season, Chattanooga was the Reds' AA affiliate, and was where Dismuke coached (and managed the last month of last season) for several years.
Dismuke said his leaving the Reds organization had nothing to do with dissatisfaction, but mainly with a chance to take a job much closer to his home.
Todd Benzinger has been named the new manager of the Dragons.

DAYTON Todd Benzinger best known for recording the final out of the 1990 World Series for the victorious Cincinnati Reds today, Dec. 31, will be named the fifth different manager of the Dayton Dragons.
Benzinger, a first baseman during his nine-year major-league career with Boston, the Reds, Kansas City, L.A. Dodgers and San Francisco from 1987-95, was originally hired by the Reds to be the hitting coach for the Class A Midwest League Dragons. However, early last week, Jamie Dismuke, who was supposed to manage the Dragons next season, accepted a job as hitting coach for the Class AAA team of the Atlanta Braves.
"We had a pool of 3-4 names," said Reds director of development Terry Reynolds, "and Todd was on top of that list.
"I've had dealings with him in the past and had him to spring training as a guest instructor. He has a great personality to teach and instruct."
Reynolds also promoted hitting instructor Tony Jaramillo from rookie Billings to be the hitting coach at Dayton. Rigo Beltran remains the Dayton pitching coach.
Reynolds said he has yet to fill the Billings hitting position.
Dismuke had been with the Reds organization nine years, the last five with Class AA Chattanooga. He was asked to replace Donnie Scott as manager of the Dragons after Scott was not retained following 19 years in the organization.
Scott completed two terms as manager of the Dragons, covering five years.
Freddie Benavides, Alonzo Powell and Billy Gardner also managed the Dragons.
Benzinger, who also coaches the girls basketball team at Lakota East High School, was born in Dayton, Ky., and will be 46 in February. He was a fourth-round draft pick by the Red Sox in 1981, making it to Boston during the 1987 season.
I remember meeting Benzinger in high school about ten years ago. He had a very positive attitude and seemed surprisingly wholesome for a professional athlete. I don't know anything about his beliefs on baseball strategy, but as far as personalities go, I think he could be a very good addition for Dayton. Because of the local ties, he could possibly become a very long term solution, too.
His brother is a terrible baseball coach at New Richmond high school.

I saw one thread through a search that had any bow with a top IBO speed over 290 was considered a hard cam. But since the Infinite Edge was designed as a youth/beginners bow I wanted to ask. Thanks.

Skip to comments.Craig Ethics Complaint Backfires on GOP
Posted on 10/12/2007 1:34:20 PM PDT by SmithL
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Larry who?
Now that scandal-tinged Idaho Sen. Larry Craig has reneged on a pledge to resign this fall, his fellow Republican senators act as though they hardly know him. They want voters to forget him, too.
But they privately acknowledge that an earlier strategy to drive Craig from office has backfired, sticking them with an open-ended ethics investigation likely to keep the issue before the public for months.
Senate Republicans demanded the Ethics Committee inquiry into his sex-sting conviction last summer in hopes of forcing Craig to resign. He essentially called their bluff this month when he reversed his decision to resign Sept. 30 unless a court let him drop his guilty plea.
Now Republicans are powerless to stop a process almost certain to do more political damage to the party in general than to a retiring senator.
"I think they were a little fanciful" in urging the Senate's Select Committee on Ethics to take up the matter, said Stanley Brand, a Washington lawyer for Craig. He called the strong-arm strategy "ethical waterboarding," referring to the controversial interrogation technique.
Some senators had pointedly warned Craig that any ethics committee hearings might be public, and probably televised.
While public hearings are possible, lawyers and Senate staffers familiar with the committee say closed sessions seem more likely. The last public hearings were held 17 years ago, in the "Keating Five" case. The "Keating Five" case was a congressional scandal involving the widespread failure of savings and loans institutions.

Not in this case. They have to drag homosexuals through the muck as well.
Except they celebrate perversity!
Yeah but we aren't supposed to talk about it. They are good dressers who are sweet to old ladies and sponge paint their living rooms. They don't hang out in rest rooms and parks playing "Hide the Salami".
sometimes even politicians do something simply because it's just the right thing to do.
Tap dancing around the issue.
This whole episode of Craig tapping his foot in a men's toilet is beyond simpleminded.
I think of the cop who has nothing better to do than to sit enclosed in a toilet stall all the while smelling the odors that emanate from stalls whose occupants never heard of a courtesy flush. What kind of life or career is that?
He probably got really excited when Craig began tapping his foot and you'd think the cop would have seen the earphone and realized that the senator was merely keeping time with his IPod.
And the last remaining tainted senator is still in office, unabashedly and repeatedly trying to close the barn door after the horses have left. The MSM has helped him to resuscitate his name and career that he is now running for president, again.
The Lavender Mafia has been pushing for decriminalizing the acts that Larry was supposedly motioning for using non-verbal communication.
They feel that such laws unfairly target people who suffer from same sex attraction syndrome.
Perhaps they should be pushing for an end to segregated bathrooms instead. One door for men and women. Everyone gets a stall.
No. Probably they had received a lot of complaints about sexual behavior in the restroom. A restroom that kids use.
The low life who wrote this can't imagine that the GOP would bring and press the ethics charges against one of its perverts because it is the RIGHT thing to do. In his/her ethically cloudy mind EVERYTHING is about political power and nothing is about doing what is right.
Imagine the *toe-tapping* you'd have then...
Who in their right mind would send a child into a restroom unaccompanied?
Craig is a PERVERT.
Most of the Republican "leadership", including GWB, also put their own interests ahead of the party and the nation. That does not excuse Craig, but he is one of many.
Who said they were unaccompanied?
I guarantee there won't be any hearings on this. The Dems have too many skeletons in the closet. If Craig is investigated, then what about Barney Frank and his own prostitution related scandal? Plus all the other leftist homosexuals who undoubtedly have a lot they don't want exposed. Believe me, the Democrat Party is going to come out of this looking a lot worse than the GOP.
When public men's rooms become gay cruising spots and pretty much unusable to the rest of the public, somebody has to clean them up.
Who do you propose do this job?
Let's say you are a man, and have your daughter with you.
What do you do when the kid has to use the toilet???
He put his hand under the partition separating stalls.
About like Dingy Hairy the Repubs made a critical mistake throwing one of their own to the Democrats Dogs.
"He probably got really excited when Craig began tapping his foot and you'd think the cop would have seen the earphone and realized that the senator was merely keeping time with his IPod."
Is that the defence? Really? If the GOP keeps this up, we will have President Hillary with all the additional executive powers the Dick and George have accumulated AND a filibuster proof Senate majority. Good thing changing the constitution requires consent of the states and not congress or we might have a President for life.
Actually the entire posted response was intended to be satiric.
In the old days I'd take my (very young) daughter to the men's restroom as back then the chances of running into a queer were about as slim as meeting one in the shower while in the U. S. Army.
Most unfortunately times have changed drastically and queers run unfettered throughout our polite society.
I wonder why someone would put their hand under the partition between them and a perfect stranger?
I realize that homosexuals are weird, but this entire situation is patently ridiculous. Next thing will be the homosexuals in their marvelous agenda will demand separate restrooms for perverts.
I'm for giving all of them an island where they can exercise their unusual, unholy and unhealthy methods of achieving orgasms until the world ends.
I would say that they have created their own little hell within their society. They belong together, but away from normal people who consider their actions an abomination.
We should insure that the island remains remote, however. Shark infested waters would be a definite plus.
Not who, but how.
The penalties for filthy behavior in a public restroom should be severe. Of course I believe that the penalties for buying or selling drugs should be death which would end our drug problem quickly.
We're going to have to see, or hear, something more substantial than the tapping of one's foot to attract another pervert's attention. Further, the public needs to be re-educated to the fact that homosexual behavior is not only an untidy way to achieve one's jollies, but is contrary to the laws of God. We have stood by while so-called educators have invited practicing queers into classrooms to explain how beautiful their lives have been as they have been wasted worshipping another's backside.
The facts need to be published. Homosexual activity involves the ingestation of fecal matter, which as one could imagine is indeed unhealthy.
Too, homosexuals have committed the majority of the mass murders in the world. They are, literally, unhinged!
Now that's something I didn't know. Or is it shouldn't know?
Having the benefit of an advanced education I have read extensively about the evils of homosexual behavior, but didn't know how they contacted each other when the urge came upon them to play with other perverts.
You'd think they'd want to see the person whose backside they're interested in, wouldn't you?
No wonder so many homosexuals end up being murdered by other homosexuals.
Ok. Sorry. I am in Germany. We arent exactly known for a well developed sense of humor.
Why doesn't Larry just announce he is a "gay American". Oprah will be begging for him afterwards, and he can become a Democrat and be re-elected forever.
I wouldn't say that.
Many are still laughing over the hilarious escapades of that Austrian post-card painter.

Seeing The Best UK Art By Car
When art is all around us, what's the best way of accessing it? While there are museums all over the country conveniently tucked in to our cities, there are some pieces out there that take a little effort to get to. That doesn't mean you should give up on going to see some the UK's most incredible works. Here are four pieces of art across the country you can only reach by car.
Snapshots of Christmas
Cold days. Colder nights. Fires lit and glowing lights dotted all over the room. It's a picture that's all over the world. It's a picture perfect way to describe Christmas in the evening.
When A Fire Starts To Burn
Fire. Its the most powerful element in its ability to stun and entertain anyone willing to standby and spectate.
The Art of Comics
Comics have been a popular medium for artist for most of the last century. Almost everyone has at some stage read a comic and can name a number of comic book characters with ease.
The Beauty Of Abandonment
Whereas our last post centred around stunning photos of large cities that are overgrown and overpopulated, there are places in the world there are devoid of life and have been abandoned.
Brand Image – Advertising or Art?
The term 'brand' or 'branding' has somewhat negative connotations in the art world.
Portrait Of A City
Sometimes an image can encapsulate more about a city than locals would ever admit to. Taking a dramatic image of a city relies on a number of variables.
Turning Food In To Art
For the last three years, the Experimental Food Society has showcased ways to make food look desirable in a completely ridiculous manner.
A Print to the Finish
The world of print is a vast one and you can see examples everywhere from the world of business to advertising to art.
Comic Books Heroes Like Us
Halloween may have been and gone for another year but that doesn't mean there aren't people in the world who take dressing up very seriously.

Converse have been courting musicians heavily over the last decade as representatives for the brand. It's not uncommon to see your favourite musician decked in a pair of chucks but it's quite rare
Getting A Portrait Of The Big Day
It was common for newly married couples in the early 20th century to get a wedding portrait together.

Lawyer, abolitionist, radical, friend of liberty, one of the most fascinating figures in American history: that was Spooner. A ferocious opponent of slavery, he supported the right of secession. An ardent enemy of statist legislation, he was a brilliant jurist who put his faith in the law. An eloquent foe of prohibition of alcohol or drugs, he offered a moral defense of liberty.
Includes "Vices Are Not Crimes," "Natural Law," "Trial by Jury," "Letter to Thomas Bayard," "No Treason," and the eulogy for Spooner by American individualist-anarchist publisher Benjamin Tucker. -- Tom G. Palmer --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Somewhere, sometime a person will open this book not knowing what to expect, but curious about a man with the curious name of Lysander Spooner. I envy that reader, for that was me nearly twenty-five years ago when I encountered No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority.
I could scarcely believe my eyes. Here were ideas radical yet commensensical, subversive yet quintessentially American. Spooner challenged and excited me. Such experiences are rare because truly original thinkers are rare, and you can discover them but once. Alas, my days of innocent discovery are over, the casualty of too much reading. I have read libertarian writers so obscure that even obscure libertarians have never heard of them. I doubt if my future holds many surprises, but it does hold many pleasures. This is one of them: introducing others to Lysander Spooner.

Kizer: Hernandez Test Showed 'Elevated' Testosterone
By Ryan Maquiñana
Super middleweight Andrew Hernandez's Nov. 10 technical knockout win over Rudy Puga Jr. is in danger of being changed to a no-contest after the winner's prefight drug test revealed excessive levels of testosterone.
Hernandez, from Phoenix, Ariz., scored a second-round stoppage of Puga on Top Rank's Vanes Martirosyan-Erislandy Lara undercard at the Las Vegas Wynn Resort. However, it was later discovered that Hernandez's testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio surpassed the 6-to-1 cutoff allowed in Nevada.
"He did show elevated testosterone levels," NSAC executive director Keith Kizer told BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com about Hernandez's drug test. "[The ratio] was somewhere between 10-to-1 and 20-to-1. We're still trying to get a quantitative number on that. [Hernandez] will have time to respond to the allegations and the commission will have a hearing."
Puga, a native of Salinas, Calif., signed with Top Rank earlier this year and won his first bout with the promotional giant, a second-round knockout of Thomas Turner in July.
"Top Rank and [matchmaker] Brad Goodman told me about what happened," said Rudy Puga Sr., who is Rudy Jr.'s father and trainer. Goodman confirmed the news with BoxingScene.com/CSNBayArea.com via email.
"Fighters put their lives on the line whenever they get in the ring, and this is my son out there. I hope the commission bans [Hernandez] for life," Puga Sr. added.
Hernandez's publicist, Emily Pandelakis, issued a statement:
"We can't really comment until Andrew is able to appear in front of the commission. We are all shocked at the news...Andrew is a good kid, does a ton of work in the community with valley homeless and at-risk kids, and he's always been a humble, hardworking fighter. Hopefully in the near future, he can get back to those things."
As it stands currently, Hernandez's record is 5-0-1 with one knockout, while Puga is 3-1 with three knockouts. If the failed drug test is upheld and the result is changed into a no-contest, Hernandez's ledger would revert to 4-0-1, and Puga's to 3-0 with three knockouts.

Are there any saddle clubs or horseman groups in the area?Posted Sunday, September 7, 2008, at 10:52 AM

The Exterior of Tang Chi Ngong Building
The building which was built in 1929 with a generous donation from Mr. Tang Chi-ngong, father of Sir Shiu-kin Tang, was a home for the School of Chinese of the University. Its official opening by Sir William Peel, the then Governor of Hong Kong, took place on 28 September 1931. Chinese studies and other Arts subjects were taught in the building until the early 1950s. It was used as the Centre of Asian Studies from 1982 to 2012 and now houses the Jao Tsung-I Petite Ecole.
The symmetrically built, three-storey, flat-roofed Tang Chi Ngong Building is of Neo-classical style. Windows are arranged in regular pattern aligned on vertical axes through three storeys for all four sides. The Shanghai plaster surfacing is grooved to resemble ashlar masonry with a horizontal band of Greek key pattern fretwork between the ground and first floors.

Thresher sharks were observed using their tails to create a shockwave in the water off the coast of the Philippines, a predatory technique that stuns or kills several smaller fish on contact. This hunting strategy has been observed in dolphins and killer whales, but not sharks. A study found that more than one-third of the shark's attempts using the slap method were successful -- better than when it attempted a face-first hunting approach.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy -- Who Can't File?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eligibility depends on the means test and other rules.
In order to be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you must meet several criteria. Your income cannot be over a certain amount, and if it is, you must pass the "means test." In addition, the court will dismiss your case if you have filed a previous bankruptcy within a certain period of time, or if the court believes you are cheating your creditors. This article explains the situations in which you won't be eligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
You Have Enough Income to Repay Your Debts
Prior to 2005, the bankruptcy judge had the power to dismiss a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case if he or she thought the debtor had sufficient disposable income to fund a Chapter 13 repayment plan. There were no hard and fast rules dictating when a judge should dismiss a case on these grounds -- it depended on the facts of the case and the attitude of the judge.
Now, however, there are clear criteria that dictate who will be allowed to stay in Chapter 7 bankruptcy -- and who will be forced to use Chapter 13 bankruptcy if they want to file. Disabled veterans whose debts were incurred during active duty and people whose debts come primarily from the operation of a business get a fast pass to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. (To learn more, see Exceptions to the Means Test.) All others must meet the requirements set out below.
How High is Your Income?
Under the new rules, the first step in figuring out whether you can file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is to measure your "current monthly income" against the median income for a family of your size in your state. Your "current monthly income" is your average income over the last six months before you file. If your income is less than or equal to the median, the law presumes that you are eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (assuming you meet the other Chapter 7 eligibility criteria listed below).
If your income is more than the median, however, you must pass "the means test" -- another requirement of the new law -- in order to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. For more information, see The Means Test & Other Chapter 7 Eligibility Issues.
Do You Have Enough Disposable Income to Repay Some Debts?
The purpose of the means test is to figure out whether you have enough disposable income, after subtracting certain allowed expenses and required debt payments, to repay at least a portion of your unsecured debts over a five-year repayment period.
To find out how a free online calculator can help you figure out whether you pass the means test, see The Bankruptcy Means Test: Is Your Income Low Enough for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?
For much more information on these new requirements, including detailed worksheets that will help you figure out whether you can use Chapter 7 bankruptcy, see How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, by Stephen Elias, Albin Renauer, and Robin Leonard (Nolo).
Get step-by-step instructions on filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Nolo's How to File for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
You Previously Received a Bankruptcy Discharge
You cannot get another Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharge if you obtained a discharge of your debts in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case within the last eight years, or a Chapter 13 case within the last six years. (Learn more about when you can file for bankruptcy again.)
A Previous Bankruptcy Was Dismissed Within the Previous 180 Days
You cannot file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy if a previous Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 case was dismissed within the past 180 days because:
- you violated a court order
- the court ruled that your filing was fraudulent or constituted an abuse of the bankruptcy system, or
- you requested the dismissal after a creditor asked for relief from the automatic stay.
You Defrauded Your Creditors
A bankruptcy court may dismiss your case if it thinks you have tried to cheat your creditors or concealed assets so you can keep them for yourself.
Certain activities are red flags to the courts and trustees. If you have engaged in any of them during the past year, your bankruptcy case may be dismissed. These no-nos include:
- unloading assets to your friends or relatives to hide them from creditors or from the bankruptcy court
- running up debts for luxury items when you were clearly broke and had no way to pay them off
- concealing property or money from your spouse during a divorce proceeding, or
- lying about your income or debts on a credit application.
In addition, you must sign your bankruptcy papers under "penalty of perjury" swearing that everything in them is true. If you deliberately fail to disclose property, omit material information about your financial affairs, or use a false Social Security number (to hide your identity as a prior filer), and the court discovers your action, your case will be dismissed and you may be prosecuted for fraud. For more information, see Nolo's article Filing Bankruptcy? Disclose Everything, Hide Nothing.

I was looking through old newspapers for articles about periodical cicadas. I found an article in the Taiban Valley News from April of 1919, titled "17-Year Locust" Due This Year1. The Taiban Valley news was published out of New Mexico, which does not experience periodical cicadas aka "17-year locusts", so I guess the story was supplied to its readers as a curiosity — just something oddball/interesting to read. The text of the article was supplied by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (possibly C.L. Marlatt himself), and the main image of the article is an illustration that appeared previously in U.S. Department of Agriculture documents and is attributable to a Miss L. Sullivan2.
97 years ago people called periodical cicadas "locusts", just as they do today. I quote, "It has been so long miscalled by the name of locust, however, that there is no hope of divesting it of that incorrect appellation". "No hope"! Even today, about half the people I meet call them "locusts".
Human lifespans were a lot shorter 97 years ago
The next fact — and this startled me — is how short the average human lifespan was 97 years ago. I quote: "The fact that it appears in countless numbers one year, then is not seen again for half the average lifetime of human beings and then suddenly appears again in countless numbers".
Half the average lifespan of human beings? Back in 1919 the average life expectancy was just 55. At most a person could expect to witness 3 emergences back then, and since babies and toddlers really don't remember things, 2 times makes sense. Today (2016) life expectancy is around 79 years in the U.S., which means the average person will only get to see 4. I've seen 9, but I travel around.
Vermont still had periodical cicadas:
Back in 1919, Vermont still had periodical cicadas: "with some Isolated colonies as far northeast as upper Vermont". Since then, they must have gone extinct.
Brood 18?
The article talks about Brood 18 emerging in the same year as Brood 10 (note, the article does not use Roman numerals). I believe the Brood 18 the article they refer to is what we now call Brood 19 (XIX) today. The article describes Brood 18 as having a 13-year life cycle, and occurring in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. The only brood that matches that is Brood XIX (see the map).
If it is indeed Brood XIX, the article is likely incorrect about the coincidence of Brood XIX and X emerging in 1919. While Brood X definitely emerged in 1919, Brood XIX would emerge in the following year 2020. Interestingly enough, the now extinct Brood XI emerged in 2020 (in Connecticut).
The rest of the article is less remarkable, but still a fun read for "the most interesting insect in the world".

Our original built-in GE Profile Micro rusted thru the back. When cleaning, the seam from bottom to back on the inside collected food, water, etc and in 4 years rusted completely through! We searched high and low for another built in, not many options out there these days.I know GE is getting out of the appliance biz, but wanted to use the existing built-in GE frame so we chose GE again even after the previous bad experience.This microwave so far performs as good as one can expect for a microwave. 2 complaints. The door droops, the hinges were not designed well, so the door leans down. Makes it look unlevel.Second, after the first GE we had rusted through, they appear to have fixed this flaw by making the interior seamless across the back interior so water & food cant get down there during wipedowns. Except, on this unit, the very front edge was painted which would have sealed the metal lip, but there are tons of little holes in the paint. I'm afraid this one may do the same thing except at the front opening as opposed to the back. Only time will tell.

great while it lasts
By Florida girl

This model matches our other GE appliances in the kitchen, so we have continued to buy it. We're on our 4th one in less than 10 years. I really like its performance, but just wish it was built to last longer than a year or two.
Replacement for old GE of same size
By golf nut
from Irvine, CA, United States
The old one we had held up for 10 years. Did develop rust like condition around door but over-all was a good machine. This one is .2 CF larger but fits in same under counter opening. 23 7/8" wide. Do wish you had stainless steel in that width but could not find it. All seemed to be 241/4" wide. Good quality for the price.

This is an awesome microwave, just replaced and it looks better than the first one
All you really ever need in a microwave oven
By Neutron
from Ocala, FL, United States
Bought as replacement for non-GE brand unit that fried itself after less than 2 years of operation. This GE unit was meticulously packaged and secured, including the carousel and its drive carriage. Due to the very good ratings (which is why I purchase this unit), I expect to get many years service from this appliance - time will tell.
Excellent! Large capacity!
By DiDi 77

I bought this model 15 years ago and worked it to death! So glad the same size and model was still available. When something works well we want to keep using it!
perfect replacement

This model mutes the button sounds and the "ready" buzzer which is important to our household with everyone working crazy hours, the quiet is important. I don't know why this feature isn't on all microwaves
like the rounded inside, back of microwave, easier
By barb 1947
from Cleveland, TN, United States
had the microwave a week ,Really like that its quiet and does a better job thawing meat evenly than my old one that I paid $500 for only 3 years ago, the main part went out and would have cost more to repair than I paid for this one!!!! They make the one I had in our hometown, so going with another brand was a big decision, I am glad I did!!!
Excellent features

I've only used it for a week and the ease of operation is very good and the inside turntable size

Can anyone explain to be how to block Saturday and Sunday appointments? I have tried a date format of 2013-6-15, 6-15-2013, 2013, and checking never end as well as adding both date format types as an end date. I have checked both Sat & Sun in setting just one block and Sun then Sat in setting two separate blocks. For all I have done, there is no blocking at all and the block out tab always says "Weekly from Nov 30, -0001"
Thanks to anyone that has figured this out.

CNC plasma cutting systems take center stage for ESAB Welding & Cutting Products in Booth N-6129. ESAB trumpets new technology integrated into the systems, including the company's precision hole technology, as well as torch-height and cutting-cycle control. Because ESAB manufactures and integrates the entire cutting system, including gantry, plasma, CNC, height control, programming software and motion capability, the company is a one-stop shop that stands behind and supports the entire system, says Steve Zlotnicki, regional product line manager for cutting.
ESAB's patented precision hole technology is an integrated set of systems that is said to improve hole-cutting cylindricity while delivering high-edge quality. According to the company, extensive testing has shown that pure oxygen is not the ideal shield gas for edge quality, so this new technology employs a mix of oxygen and nitrogen as the shield gas, and changes the shield gas between starting and cutting to minimize pierce spatter. The result is automatic production of bolt-ready holes.
ESAB's Smart Voltage height control automatically corrects arc voltage as an electrode wears, with cutting height remaining constant even as arc length increases. This height-control technology is said to maintain cut quality. Also, unnecessary consumable changes are reduced because the torch stays at the correct height, and the electrode can fully wear without the torch cutting closer and closer to the plate. Overall cost-per-part is reduced by maximizing consumable life and reducing production interruptions.
SmartCycle technology eliminates unproductive time and motion by skipping initial height sensing where possible and eliminating the full torch retract after every cut, ESAB says. Thus, total time required to cut a parts nest can be reduced. In fact, depending on part geometry, the production rate can more than double when using SmartCycle technology versus traditional methods, the company adds.

Now is the time to register for IMTS 2016, which runs September 12-17 in Chicago, Illinois. As the show approaches, please check our IMTS 2016 Zone for new product updates.

Citroen has unveiled the newest member of its DS family at the Shanghai Motor Show. Called the Wild Rubis concept (previously referred to as the DSX), it previews an Audi Q5 and BMW X3 rival aimed primarily at the Chinese market, but being considered for UK showrooms, too.
Measuring 4.7 metres in length, 1.95 metres in width and 1.59 metres in height, the Wild Rubis concept is longer, wider and lower than the Q5 and sits on enormous 21-inch wheels. And Citroen is leaving no doubt over whether it will make production, calling the concept the "forerunner of the future DS SUV."
Picking up where the stunning Numero 9 concept (revealed at the Beijing Motor Show in April 2012) left off, the Wild Rubis features a host of striking design cues, including roof rails that flow into the C-pillars, a bold crease along the shoulder line and chrome insert in the side sill. The ruby red paintwork also changes with the intensity of the light.
At the front, a chunky chrome grille surrounds an oversized DS badge and joins up with the full-LED headlights. A similar effect is applied at the rear, where the slim taillights and twin tailpipes are both wrapped in chrome.
There are no pictures of the interior yet, but the five-door layout and dimensions mean there should be plenty of room in the rear for adults and a sizeable boot, too. Details on the powertrain are also scarce, with Citroen confirming only that the Wild Rubis is a full-hybrid featuring plug-in technology.
Rather than using PSA's new EMP2 platform, which will underpin every compact and mid-size Peugeot and Citroen in the coming years, the DS SUV will use an older chassis from the C5 and be built in China. It will be followed by a large DS saloon (previewed by the Numero 9 concept) and another smaller saloon, as Citroen bids to capitalize on the booming car trade in China.

Piano Concerto No.1 'The Song of Gwyn ap Nudd', Op.52 (Holbrooke, Joseph)
It is very unlikely that this work is public domain in the EU, or in any country where the copyright term is life-plus-70 years. However, it is in the public domain in Canada (where IMSLP is hosted) and other countries where the term is life-plus-50 years (such as China, Japan, Korea and many others worldwide). As this work was first published before 1923 or failed to meet notice or renewal requirements to secure statutory copyright with no "restoration" under the GATT amendments, it is very likely to be public domain in the USA as well.

Take a Carriage Ride
Try taking a horse drawn carriage tour for some great history lessons. All day long we saw these carriages around town, you can take a group tour or personal carriage tour for 2, rather romantic. There are a few companies that give the tours, here are 4
Charleston Carriage Company 14 Hayne Street PH (843) 577-0042,
Carolina Polo & Carriage Company 45 Pinckney Street PH (843) 577-6767,
Old South Carriage Company 2 Anson Street, #A, PH (843) 723-9712,
Palmetto Carriage Works 40 North Market Street PH (843) 723-8145
WaterFront Park
Charleston has many beautiful parks to explore, this is Waterfront Park near the French Quarter. This is nice clear park with lots of benches, fountains a pier and green grass along the waterfront. 1 fountain the kids can play in and the other is for looking. Lots of shade and benches to eat your lunch, hang out and watch the boats go by. Lots of do's and don't's on the sign as you enter the park so you may want to read them.
The Old Charleston Lighthouse
Don't you just love a good lighthouse hunt because I do! The Charleston Lighthouse on Morris Island was built 1767 which in fact was 1 of only 2 lighthouses to be found south of the Delware Bay after ther Revolution, the other being Tybee Lighthouse. The lighthouse was destroyed in the Civil War and work began to rebuilt around 1874 and it was relit October 1 1876 with a first order lens. The island over time eroded away from under the base due to storms, earthquakes and hurricanes it still stands but the island is long gone and sits out in the ocean about a 1/4 mile. It was replaced by the one on Sullivan's Island in 1962. If you look really close to the photo you can see just to the left of the lighthouse is the New Charleston Lighthouse on Sullivan's Island.The Old Charleston Lighthouse is only 15 to 20 minutes the other way down Route 17 South to Folly Beach just off of James Island Take the Folly beach road and turn left and go all the way to the end at the Holiday Inn turn left and go all the way to the end, park and walk about 1/4 mile out to the beach and you will find the Old Charleston Lighthouse which sits out in the ocean about a 1/4 mile. Bring you camera and tripod and lots of batteries.
The New Charleston Lighthouse From the beach
If you like lighthouse like I do go check out the New Charleston Lighthouse on Sullivan's Island, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes from Charleston, just go up Route 17 North to the other side of the bridge and you only about 10 minutes away. This is the only one of it's kind in the USA. It was built in 1962 and will most likely be the last traditional lighthouse built in th United States. It stands 162 feet tall and is the only lighthouse that has an elevator and has been fitted with a the most powerful 28 million candlepower lens in the Western Hemisphere and can be seen up to 26 miles out to sea. This has got to be the strangest looking lighthouse I have come across, it looks kind of like an airport control tower. The lighthouse on Sullivan's Island was built to replace the Old Charleston Lighthouse that is no longer in service, the island that it stands on has completely eroded away from the foundation and now stands about 1/4 mile out to sea.

since yesterday i can't see any ads on my static pages. they only appear on the homepage. i am used to see changes after a couple of minutes, but this time ads won't show up and i don't know why.
i'm only using 3 codes, so i don't think it's because i have to many.
it worked perfectly until yesterday. i don't have that much plug ins so i don't know i one of them is causing this.
thanks for your help!

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to alter the amount of downloads that are shown on the downloads page?
I have downloaded the plugin and activated it, however its only showing 4 of my downloads and I wanted it to show them all (12 in total) on the same page.
Does anyone know which template I am suppose to alter in the plugins files?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Report: Devin McCourty is back as Patriots captain
|10.16.13 at 8:48 pm ET
FOXBORO — After being stripped of his captaincy to start this season, Devin McCourty – one of the most popular teammates in the locker room – is back as Patriots captain, according to a report from Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald.
McCourty was elected as one of three defensive captains in 2011 and 2012 before not receiving the designation at the end of training camp this summer.
No official reason was ever given for the move, even to McCourty. But on Wednesday, with season-ending injuries to captains Vince Wilfork (Achilles) and Jerod Mayo (right pectoral muscle) , it left a void on the defensive side of the ball. McCourty is already considered the leader in the secondary and may have to move himself this weekend from safety back to corner with a hip injury lingering for Aqib Talib.
Earlier Wednesday, McCourty was asked about possibly filling the void of leadership once again without Mayo and Wilfork on the field.
"Everywhere outside this locker room, everyone's going to be talking about our loss, but I think we've got some guys in here that are excited about their opportunity," McCourty said. "I think the good thing this year is we have guys that prepare hard and work hard as if they were starting, and now they get that opportunity."
McCourty said it will take a group effort to replace the leadership.
"We've all got to step up and kind of be group captains now," said McCourty. "I think of it as Mayo and Vince are still our captains.
"When guys get hurt and they can't be around, guys have to step up. I've been appointed one of those guys to step up, but it's no different, guys on defense have to step up, guys like Steve Gregory, that's played a lot of football here already; [Brandon] Spikes, a guy that's a fourth-year player."
Devin McCourty has been named a Patriots captain again, according to a source. Happened after Mayo, Wilfork went on IR.

Greetings! The Little Quilts blog tour is rolling along! This week, stop by and visit the lovely Nedra over at Cactus Needle! Woot!!
Little Quilts Blog Tour — Book Winner
Hello again! If you're following along, you'll know I have a Little Quilts book winner to announce and a new blog tour stop to mention.
It all comes down to Pam and Pam.
Pam from Quilting Is My Yoga is the winner of a copy of Little Quilts from my stop on the blog tour! Congratulations, Pam, look for an email in your inbox from me.
And this week's stop on the blog tour is Pamkittymorning! Pam is my pretend neighbor. I take over pie and she always has the coffee on. We sit on the swing in her yard and read magazines and sew. She is an excellent neighbor. When she comes over, she always forgives the mess. Which is a lot of forgiving to do. Anyway, stop over at Pam's. Tell her I said "hey." You've got another chance to win a copy of Little Quilts too!!
By the way, did you see this about a Little Quilts swap??? Take a gander and say hi to Sarah, the hostess with the mostest!
Little Quilts Blog Tour!
It's time for a little party for little quilts and Little Quilts! We are gleeful over the wonderful reception for our little (am I overusing that??) book so far, and we want the celebration to continue! Sarah and I have devised a blog tour and swap with some of our favorite people. Indeed, in the spirit of Little Quilts, we'll make and swap wee (see, I didn't say little) quilts and talk about our progress in blog posts. Our swappers don't know from whom they'll receive a quilt, so there will be mystery reveals when the mail arrives. Ooooh, tricksy, it was almost more than my summer brain could handle figuring that out (I know, it's really not that difficult…).
I've already been pondering options for my swap partner. Hmm…
Which of these lovelies shall it be? Should I make one of mine?
Or should it be one of Sarah's?
Who doesn't love the Honeycomb quilt? Surely I can manage the embroidery, yes?!
As we all ponder and make, we'll be checking in, so keep an eye out for our fabulous friends who have joined us. Here's the Little Quilts visiting schedule for the next six weeks.
September 1: Amy and Sarah
September 8: Pam Vieira-McGinnis
September 15: Nedra Sorenson
September 22: Lynne Goldsworthy and Krista Hennebury
September 29: John Adams
October 6: Katy Jones
Should you care to join us in the making (or make and then send a small quilt to a friend!) and don't (yet) own Little Quilts, you will find the pattern for Sarah's Little Red Riding Hood quilt on the Ryland Peters blog.
And befitting such a celebration, each stop will have a drawing for a copy of Little Quilts, courtesy of our spectacular publisher, Cico Books! So, if you'd like a chance to win a copy (what? you don't already own one?) from this stop on the blog tour, leave a comment (making sure I can contact you via email behind the scenes) by the end of the day on September 7 — just before the tour stops off with the ever delightful Miss Pamkittymorning.
We hope you'll join us in our continuing excitement about our book and have a visit with our lovely bloggers at each stop! I'll check in regularly too to make sure you don't miss any of the fun!
So, what's new?
Well, hello! How goes it? What's new? I have a little something new to show you. A fun little book that Sarah and I did. It just came out, and we're pretty pleased.
One makes the quilts and writes and finishes such a thing well before it is actually printed and distributed, so when I got a copy in my hands, it was brand new to me again. What a treat! It is such a sweet little book to look at. I really do smile when I flip through the pages. But then again, I may be a little biased.
We hope you enjoy it! If your friendly neighborhood Amazon is sold out, I do have copies to sell for anyone stateside. I am happy to sign it. Unfortunately, logistics prevent my getting Sarah's signature too for you, but you never know, you might run into her one day. Feel free to leave a comment if you would like to buy a copy.
The other day with the help of modern technology, Sarah and I talked about Little Quilts with Stephanie Kendron of Modern Sewciety. You can listen to the podcast over at Stephanie's lovely site.
I gave myself a pep talk beforehand. It was morning so I drank a little coffee but not too much coffee so as to induce aimless babbling. I haven't listened to it yet myself, but I will.
Sarah and I are planning a blog tour for the book toward the end of the summer. I promise to tell you all about it when we have it ready to go.
Other than this wonderful book excitement, I — like you, I'm sure — have been busy busy with life. My now 14 year old seems to be the center of the busy universe.
I hope this finds you all well! I promised to keep you apprised of goings on around here!
Hand Quilted with Love blog tour
My dear friend Sarah has written another book. Maybe you've heard of it — Hand Quilted with Love. I've horned in on her book blog tour to celebrate her talent and creativity, among her many other fine attributes.
I admit that I squeal every time I get to take a sneak peek into her latest work. Yes, I am lucky that way. So, she may have showed me some of the quilts from the book in advance. And I squealed like a little girl and once again decided that I wanted to make every quilt in the upcoming book. Seeing as I am still working on quilts from the last book….ahem…why not dive in and start a quilt from the new book too?! Frankly though, I see nothing wrong with that because, as the book's subtitle says, "Patchwork projects inspired by a passion for quilting." And who doesn't get a little carried away by the passion for quilting? And I can feel Sarah's passion for quilts in each of the designs in Hand Quilted with Love. And so I get carried away and squeal a little and decide that every one of the quilts speaks to me (and says "make me….").
In the sewing room, you will find my copy of Hand Quilted with Love duly page marked on All That and the Hatter.
You will find a stack of light Kaffe Fassett shot cotton fat quarters and a stack of Liberty Lifestyle Stile fat quarters.
You will find me puttering around with background stripe combinations and cup and saucer combinations and teapot combinations.
You might also find me squealing like a little girl over the fun I'm having with Sarah's lovely design. This one is VERY, VERY satisfying to undertake as well — put the thinking cap on on occasion, it's a good thing.
Sarah's new book also includes an incredibly special design. You might have seen it. Or been a part of it. Along with squealing, there was crying. Which is to be expected. Seeing it in print took my breath away. Not in a bad way. Just in the way that it is.
The version in the book is Anabel's quilt.
At fall quilt market, I picked up my quilt. I have slept under it every night since Sarah presented it to me. In fact, she had it on the bed at the hotel. I am still overwhelmed by your kindness and generosity and caring for us. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Please know that not a day goes by when I don't look at this quilt in amazement and appreciation. It is a great comfort to read your names and admire your fabric choices. Thank you.
In the future, I hope you will also find me making more of the quilts from Sarah's wonderful new book. Congratulations, miss! I'm thrilled for you, I admire your talents and hard work and I'm so happy to call you a friend!

Since I have been away away away for so long, I'll include some updates. I came back from quilt market in the fall to news of another serious health concern in my immediate family. It was jarring and once again scary and it set me back somewhat. But all is now well and we've been lucky to have had the best outcomes all the way along.
I have also been keeping up with the kid. Here are some recent action shots because it seems that she is all action and I am her personal assistant making sure she is where she needs to be and she is fed and garbed.
Good kid.
:: Totally random ::
Very random Saturday morning stuff. Mental meanderings allowed by a still-sleeping 12-year-old. I'm still not used to this sleeping in business. Very recent tween development. I'll have to make some very quiet plans for this "free" time.
I'm trying to learn how to use the household DSLR. Please bear with me.
I hope to get the hang of it before I go to Quilt Market. (See you there??)
And I've added these because the outdoors at the front of my house approximates the convention center lighting conditions?
Have to start somewhere, I guess.
I believe I captured Pepper's earnestness.
I may not get the hang of it but I do know my camera will have a stylish camera strap. After I make it one.
I'm taking along my old point and shoot camera just in case. Does that mean I have to take two pictures of everything with two different cameras just in case??
Speaking of travel. I miss Dan. I miss Dan's silver Delta frequent flyer status. The free checked bag, the getting on the plane right before the general cattle call. It's the little things sometimes. I'm sure I will survive.
What are your weekend plans? No soccer game for us this weekend. Which works out because it's supposed to rain the whole time. Which also means we can't do anything fun outdoors with our free weekend. Because I would surely melt. Or freeze. But we are going to see Regina Spektor tonight. I'm sure it will be warm and cozy. Strangely enough, when I was going through the DSLR camera case this week, I found a bag of ear plugs. These would have been from a music festival Dan took the kiddo to. How handy! Taking them along to the concert tonight.
I do find it strange that in the last year, I have found things like the ear plugs just when I've needed them. They wouldn't have been things — various paperwork, for example — on my radar at any point before and weren't part of my household job description previously. I just think it's goodly strange.
Here's a couple of quilt photos just to randomly round things out.
Oh, and the Bleachers quilt which now just needs the binding sewn down.
I have been calling this quilt Dear Stella, Wear Your Grungy Little Black Dress on the Bleachers.
Good, still sleeping. If she sleeps much longer, I can get away with brunch and will only have to feed her twice today. She got lucky too, I just found this recipe for caramel and sea salt pear pancakes.
Hope you have a photogenic weekend!
Bloggers' Bar Hop Quiltalong – Block 10 Cross Bar
I was thrilled when Scott Hansen asked – despite my absence around here – if I would like to participate in his latest quiltalong, the Bloggers' Bar Hop Quiltalong. Thrilled.
Then I received the fabrics kindly supplied by Clothworks from their European Taupe VIII collection by Kinkame. You had me at taupe, Scott. Then I began to worry that someone had been snooping in my stash and would therefore know that I have been known to have a Japanese taupe addiction (NO, this is not a situation of what fabric am I NOT addicted to…stop it).
These are the fabrics I received:
A longtime admirer of the low-contrast combinations of these fabrics, I decided to be subtle and add only a cool solid grey to make my 12″ Cross Bar block.
For this block, you will need five fabrics. The block finishes to 12″. All seams are 1/4″.
Fabric 1, solid grey, cut 4 – 2 7/8″ squares and cut in half once on the diagonal:
Fabric 2, brown woven check, cut 4 – 3 3/8″ x 4 3/4″ rectangles:
Fabric 3, burgundy tonal, cut 4 – 2 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ rectangles AND 1 – 2 1/2″ square:
Fabric 4, brown floral check, cut 4 – 3 7/8″ squares and cut in half once on the diagonal:
Fabric 5, grey rose print, cut 4 – 2 1/2″ squares:
1. Begin by sewing 2 brown floral check triangles to both long sides of the brown plaid rectangle. Repeat with remaining three brown plaid rectangles.
2. Sew solid grey triangles to the short sides of the brown plaid rectangle. Repeat with remaining three brown plaid rectangles.
3. Sew burgundy tonal rectangle to grey rose square. Repeat with remaining three burgundy tonal rectangles.
4. Arrange burgundy tonal/grey rose units as shown in the photo below. Sew burgundy tonal square between the burgundy tonal/grey rose units.
5. Sew brown plaid units to both sides of burgundy tonal/grey rose units as shown in the photo below. Repeat for bottom row of block.
6. Sew block units together as shown.
There you go. I think this would make a wonderful subtle scrappy quilt. Yes, imagine it scrappy.
Here's the line-up for the remaining blocks on the Bloggers' Bar Hop Quiltalong:
October 1 Amy Ellis
October 2 Lynn Harris
October 3 Heather Jones
October 4 Jackie Kunkel
October 5 Ashley Jones
October 6 Emily Cier
October 7 Scott Hansen
October 8 Jan Peoples
October 9 April Rosenthal
October 10 Amy Lobsiger (you are here)
October 11 Cara Quilts
October 12 Konda Luckau
October 13 Alethea Ballard
October 14 Charlie Scott
You can see blocks going up at the quiltalong Flickr group page too.
Thanks for visiting and thanks, Scott, for inviting me to join in the fun!

I am married to a wonderful man named Mike. I have 3 children and they are Marissa, Christian and Eileen (Eileen has CHARGE SYNDROME). I also have 2 step children, Thomas and Trevor. I met Mike on eharmony and we got married in July of 2008. I was away from the church for awhile and my life really spinned out of control. I thank God that he never gave up on me and that I have found my way back to him. I found Godtube and just fell in love with all that it has to offer. I would definitely like to meet other Christian's out there that can help me strengthen my faith in the Lord.
