Gia Wolff, a Brooklyn-based architect, designer, and instructor, has won the 2013 Wheelwright Prize, a traveling fellowship reintroduced by the Harvard University Graduate School of Design this year.
Wolff, 35, won the $100,000 travel grant to support her proposal to study the design of parade floats around the world. Her proposal, "Floating City: The Community-Based Architecture of Parade Floats," was selected from more than 200 proposals from 45 countries around the world.
"The award is not the typical tour where you go and make watercolors and come back," Wolff says. "It's trying to get at certain questions in architecture and the synthesis of creation and how we make things in this day and age."
Harvard GSD announced the launch of the Wheelwright Prize last Decemberweaetxdyvaydzcwq as an extension of the Arthur W. Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship, which was established for GSD alumi in 1935. The former Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship enabled such architects as Paul Rudolph and I.M. Pei to study outside the U.S. at early points in their careers. The expanded Wheelwright Prize is available to young architects from across the world who have graduated from an accredited architecture institution within the last 15 years. Wolff, who happens to be a GSD alumnus, is the prize's inaugural winner.
The Wheelwright Prize will send Wolff to festivals in Rio de Janeiro; Goa, India; Nice France; Santa Cruze de Tenerife, Spain; and Viarreggio, Italy. In Rio, for example, she will visit the 12 community schools that compete to build and design the notorious Carneval floats, which reach multiple stories in size. "Each of the schools are made up of community members, so for me it's interesting to see how the schools work and compete," Wolff says. "That's one component of it. The scale of these projects in the city, how they talk about mobile architecture, is another."
Wolff received her master's degree from Harvard GSD, where she created "Stargazer"—a planetarium in which simulated starlight provides direction through a labyrinth—for her master's thesis project. Since receiving her degree in 2008, Wolff has worked for a number of prestigious architecture firms, including Acconci Studio, Lot-ek, Adjaye Associates, and Architecture Research Office.
Her interest in mobile and performance-oriented architecture is evident across her career. Wolff has worked as an architectural designer alongside set designer Jessica Grindstaff for productions for New York's Phantom Limb Company. In 2011, she designed and fabricated "Portaali" (Finnish for "portal"), a 25-foot-diameter installation exhibited in Sunset Park in Brooklyn.
Presently, she is an adjunct instructor at the Cooper Union, where she teaches a first-year drawing class with Archigram's Michael Webb, and at the Pratt Institute, where she teaches a first-year core studio as well as an advanced studio. She says that she will likely take a leave of absence to study Carneval preparations during the spring semesters of the next two years.
A seven-member jury of award-winning architects and designer selected Wolff for the prize. The jury's members include Mohsen Mostafavi, Yung Ho Chang, Farès el-Dahdah, K. Michael Hays, Farshid Moussavi, Zoë Ryan, and Jorge Silvetti.
The Wheelwright Prize "speaks to a new way of working, of practicing architecture, that is collaborative and global," Wolff says. "I'm personally interested in mobile architecture, and at the same time, my practice is mobile. This [award] opens a lot of avenues for experimentation."

If it is in good shape I would grab it. They are very pricey in my area
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If it is in good shape I would grab it. They are very pricey in my area
I got a fantastic deal on my FW it is like new in case with everything there even the old tube of oil, of course it was dried up, for $200, yeah $235 is a buy it price!!!
I just want to thank everyone again. Yesterday my H and I went back to check out the FW. I took a needle and fabric...I knew how to thread it because of the advice given on this board. So it is in really good condition! My H got it for my birthday present! We came back to our RV, cleaned it and just are amazed at how good she looks! I have given her a name...Quinny, for the Latin word for 50...in honor of our 50 anniversary this year. Today she will get polished. Will post picture...when I learn how! Thanks again Carol aka Reba
Congratulations on buying Quinny! You'll love sewing on her. I bought mine (Emily) several months ago and she is a joy to sew on. I've gotten very attached to the little gal.
I paid 250 for mine off Craigslist and it came from the original owners family. All others sell in this area for much more. This person didn't know what it was called or I'm sure it wouldn't have been waiting for me. Got it for my birthday last year.
Congratulations! I'm happy for you!
If you Google the words: Singer Featherweight, many sites will come up. Browse through and explore. The Featherweights have a huge following of fans. There are sites that will help you date your machine, clean your machine, repair your machine, find accessories and parts for your machine, and even some that will help you learn to use your machine. I found a site that allowed me to download all the manuals for my machine. Happy Googling!
I managed to get one on ebay in the uk for £191. It is in really good nick and sews beautifully.
Flat side to the left is correct. A FW repairman, at Paducah, says that is the most common concern he sees. Also, he recomments half a cake of Safeguard soap, still in the box, placed inside the case. Don't let the soap itself touch anything in there. It does help and can be replaced as it gets old. I have used Irish Spring in my fabric storage boxes and it keeps musty smells away. Cases that look facded and thready, can be painted with black auto spray paint. This is a last ditch method though. Mine was coming off in a few places and the paint helped hold it in place. When dry, it was like new. It saved me $50 for buying a new, repro. case. Be sure to mask the handle, latch and hinges with painters tape though before painting outdoors. I know, poor folks have poor ways, but it looks great and gave it a new lease on life. Rubber feet for the case were obtainable on ebay for about $1 each. Saves your table.

President Barack Obama visited Cannes, France, this week for the Group of 20 (G-20) economic summit. The conference brings together leaders from wealthy and developing nations. They meet twice a year to address problems that affect the world economy. This week, Greek tragedy stole the spotlight, and leaders focused their efforts on ways to rescue Greece from its debt crisis.
President Obama urged European leaders to help solve the crisis. "There's no excuse for inaction," Obama said. "That's true globally. It's certainly true back home. And I'm going to keep pushing it."
For years, the Greek government has borrowed and spent more money than it brings in. Now Greece must figure out a solution for its debt or it may go bankrupt.
A Plan to Solve the Crisis
Greece is part of the European Union (EU), an association of 27 countries that are trading partners. Greece is also in the eurozone—a group of 16 countries that use the euro as their currency. Fearing that Greece's money problems would spill into other countries, the EU agreed to help the struggling nation. Greece has been bailed out twice by the EU in the past two years.
The EU has been working on a plan to help Greece repay the money it owes. On Monday, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou announced he would put the debt plan to a referendum, or public vote. After backlash from European leaders, Papandreou cancelled the referendum. Many people in Greece are protesting for Papandreou to resign.
The prime minister thinks the EU plan will be hard on the Greek people. It means the Greek government will no longer be able to decide how much money it can spend on things the country needs. But the leaders of France and Germany want Greece to accept the EU's rescue plan because Greece must repay debts to other countries. If Greece does not repay them, those countries will have trouble paying their debt back too.
Problems Spread
Because the eurozone countries share a currency, they are linked through economies. Eurozone countries are looking to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to rescue Greek's debt crisis from spreading to large economies like Italy and Spain. Those countries are important to the eurozone because their economies would cost too much to bail out.
An estimated 7,000 protestors held anti-government rallies outside the Greek Parliament today. Public polls show that the Greek public is fed up with tax increases, job losses and Papandreou's leadership.
Tonight, Papandreou was put up to a confidence vote, which decided if he should stay in power. Papandreou won the vote. If he hadn't, he would have had to resign, allowing for an early election for a new leader.
Before the vote, Papandreou told the Greek Parliament, "I am not interested in being re-elected, but just in saving the country."

Hello Everyone,
I hope your all in a good start for the season and are up in almonds this season (I heard prices are up and the bloom is late???).
Has anyone here been trying the coconut oil in the use of varroa Control?? has anyone done or heard of any efficancy rates in using the oil, proper dosage of oil, residual/how often to apply/ and when to apply?? I done so once in a 1 x 1 inch paper towel, and I had mite drop in some hives but not all, even with varroa present in most hives, one thing I did notice is that hives with fewer bees 4 to 6 frames had a good mite drop because the oil/towel was in place, but as for my stronger hives +9 frames, the bees simply removed the towel/oil out to the entrance thus resulting in low to no mite drop, but are doing quite well. Most of my hives that gotten PMS(Parasitic Mite Syndrome) in Fall/Early winter are recovering slowly/lagging to build up.
These were based on visual observations, but will continue to try the oil using screened bottom boards/sticky cards to get accurate number of mite drop. Treated(Coconut Oil)/Control hives
I've also tried the menthol for Tracheal mite in 2011 and that forced my bees out of the boxes to the point that they left the brood/bearded in front of the hive, anyone else observed this as well??? I got a box of 10 to 15 packets/pouches if you want them(FREE).
Thank you for your time and any knowledge you can share on this topic.

Hi Food Revolutionaries!!
My wife and I are very poor financially.
She's a vegetarian, and I'm a cardiac patient.
I'm looking for recopies that are healthier for me, and that I can leave meat out of 1/2 of for her.
We have a small garden plot, and like to grow our own veggies, so I'm looking to expand the types of veggies we grow and cook ethnic foods (especially the "peasant foods") from around the world.
Recently I had been studying Korean cooking (I make my own Kimchi, Chigae, and a few other things), and now I'm getting curious about old style European cooking styles.
I'm also really getting into doing traditional fermented veggies such as brine cured Sauerkraut, Kimchi, and various types of pickles.

Re: Hi Food Revolutionaries!!
Sadly I have just seem this post as I think we might have neem able to help , this forum member has not made a post since February but I think that it's a good topic ...
Vegetarian food with a meat eater in the family !
When all my family were home I used to cook mainly meat based meals and me being the only vegetarian in the family used to mostly eat the veg that came with the meals .. (Don't worry. , that was plentiful and interesting ! ) sometimes we would have vegetarian meals but mostly I cooked meat.
Now with all having ' flown the nest' , I find I cook differently , basing the meal on vegetarian dishes and with often but not always a meat addition for my darling .
For example .. Yesterday we had some fried ,spiced vegetable rice with a chickpea curry stirred through at the last minutes of cooking so the rice still retained its texture and indervidual grains and also for my daylong I cooked belly pork with a ginger and redcurrant glaze ( knowing that otherwise he would have heaped mango chutney onto the rice ) .
This was not the meal I had originally planned to do but was one that just happened as there was cold indian-spicy rice in the fridge , I say the rice was fried but I used minimal oil to 'fry ' it in ,and used the frying pan to cook it so many of the rice grains had a slightly crisped edge , great contrast with the softer vegetables , also cooked in the frypan and the end result not at all greasy !

I was thinking that we should begin compiling the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and maybe til Christmas. There are 6 fewer shopping days for Christmas this year and some vendors are starting to add a few sales here and there. It might even be a good idea to make this a "Sticky" through the holidays where we can add links to online sales and store chains with firearms, ammo and accessories for sale. Just a thought. I am sure even our listed vendors will have some great sales coming along as well and we can highlight them here.
I'll start off with one sale I found so far:
For example, Optic Planet again has the Aimpoint PRO on sale - limited to stock on hand and one per customer.
One coupon per order, apply coupon "11YAYBD" for 11% OFF Sitewide - The Aimpoint Patrol Rifle Optic 30mm Red Dot Sight. Cost $363.12 shipped.
I have a couple myself.

In my last blog I blog, I began the discussion of chronic pain. My friend and colleague, Peter Blum, of Woodstock, New York (who actually does everything, including hypnosis, and is a Buddhist, Jewish, Native American priest of sorts who married Barbara and me) had important things to say.
Peter said, "This is a topic that has been particularly significant in my life, and I would like to weigh in on this discussion. As a hypnotherapist, I have addressed the issue of pain management with numerous clients over the years. As a practicing Buddhist, I have read and studied and meditated for many years on the "Four Noble Truths" - the essence of the Buddha's teaching - which deals with the nature of suffering and attachment. And perhaps most importantly, as a recovering drug addict, I have had direct experience with the cunning, baffling, and seductive nature of what is currently often viewed as the "disease" of addiction.
"In your article, I loved what you said about the "seeking system", and that "seeking has been found in studies to be more rewarding than finding". That would be validated by many addicts, who speak of the "high" of the hunt... the actual physical/emotional thrill of figuring out ways to get more of whatever it was they were addicted to. I was a bit surprised at the revelation, in your article, that in patients receiving prolonged opioid therapy, there is an increase in production of one of the body's endogenous opiates.
"Years ago an acupuncturist (who was explaining how acupuncture was beneficial to people who were in the process of detoxing from opiate addiction) used the metaphor of the body having little "factories" which produced the endorphines and enkaphalons, the feel-good neurotransmitters, which also regulate pain control. When a person starts "importing" external opiates, such as morphine, heroin, codeine, etc., on a regular basis, these little factories shut down. So a person's natural ability to manage pain, and regulate mood, is impaired and becomes dependent on continuing to receive these "imports".
"It was heartening to read of others who responded to your posting on this thread speaking of utilizing mindfulness meditation as a tool in helping clients understand the working of mind/body, and find other ways of coping with or alleviating pain as an alternative to synthetic opiates. A recent issue of "The Buddhist Review Tricycle" (Fall 2012) contained an insightful article by Andrew Olendzki, entitled "Pinch Yourself - A Physical Sensation Becomes An Experience To Be Explored". To quote briefly, in the opening paragraph, Olendzki, a Ph.D., and senior scholar at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, says "Pinch yourself. Go ahead and give yourself a good hard pinch on the arm or the back of the hand. Now, according to Buddhist psychology, you should be able to distinguish at least three different components to the experience: the touch, the pain of the touch, and the aversion to the pain of the touch. Our mind if very good at merging these all together, but there are actually three different processes - synthesized by three different brain systems - that are then synchronized with one another and interpreted as a unified experience."
"Our culture continually bombards us with media advertisements encouraging us to immediately turn to the pharmacy to deal with the slightest pain. So before we even sit with the touch, and the pain of the touch, we are proceeding instantly to aversion to the pain of the touch. What if, instead, we were to center ourselves and allow ourselves to sit with the pain. My experience, in hearing the stories of many who use opiates, is that the "cover story" of needing them to deal with physical pain, is frequently masking the deeper, underlying story - of inability or unwillingness to deal with metaphysical pain. Some of the therapeutic guidance we can give, is to encourage a person to actually feel their pain - emotional, psychic, etc. To be willing to take a look at the pain of their lives, and look at the situational reinforcements of isolation and obsessive/compulsive behavior that, unless addressed and ameliorated, will bring a person cycling back over and over again to the same lonely and desperate places.
"It was particularly heartening to read your last paragraph: "For all these reasons, I believe we need to work together to create communities of pain sufferers, to change their brains through social interaction (the social brain hypnothesis) and to help each other to live better lives with or without pain." This reinforces the hochoka project - of having community healing circles. Many have found the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous to also fulfill that function.
"But whatever it is, it is a pervasive and rapidly growing problem. Many are probably aware that prescription pain-killers are the drug of choice these days recreationally among many high school and college age folks and are overtaking heroin and cocaine as a cause of death by overdose; hospitalization for complications, and treatment in detox and rehab facilities. Not to be overlooked in this discussion is the mega-bucks of the pharmaceutical industry, and their continued investment in pushing more pills. Thank goodness we have some independent thinkers amongst our prescribing physicians who are willing to explore other, healthier and more wholistic ways of helping clients deal with pain."
In our pain group, we are attempting to create community with people who have been trained to avoid community. Our American culture trains people who are in pain to isolate which only serves to increase their pain. So often, I hear people in pain say, "I hate other people." We have to make them come to the group at first in order to get their narcotics. They must come twice per month. Some eventually come more often. Some eventually begin to find that they enjoy coming to group and come more often. Slowly the stories we tell in group begin to diffuse into the people. Some begin to feel that they could have an influence by what they do on how much pain they feel.
No correlation exists between the perceived severity of chronic pain and tissue pathology.1 Chronic pain is diffuse and often spreads well beyond the original area of injury. The measures that are successful in treating acute pain rarely work for chronic pain. This is because chronic pain is manufactured in our brains as a modifying response to acute pain. Chronic pain is very much a phenomenon of our brains and must be addressed as such. It's something we invent after an acute pain. This is why we need each other to manage our chronic pain.
Eighty million Americans suffer with chronic pain and nearly one-third obtains little or no relief from conventional approaches to pain.2 Therefore, new approaches are needed besides the conventional model of writing prescriptions. We need to combine medicine with physical therapy, family therapy, cognitive/behavioral therapy, biofeedback, support groups, and more. In addition to caring for the chronic pain patient, the entire family is affected and needs to be involved in the recovery process. Care needs to involve all the stakeholders in the chronic pain patient's life.
Treatment with opioids alone is not enough for chronic pain.3 For some people, opioids may reduce chronic pain to a more tolerable level. However, they should not be prescribed with the expectation that they will completely alleviate chronic pain, treat depression or a sleep disorder, or completely relieve suffering. For other people, opioids are ineffective. The deeper issue is, as Peter Blum puts it, how can we allow ourselves to feel what we don't want to feel? Our culture is formed from stories that teach us to avoid pain. We are full of magic potion stories in which a substance takes that pain away. Unfortunately, the stories don't seem to fully work. They are incomplete. The pain doesn't leave. The magic potions are not fully effective. What are we to do in those cases?
Specific regional gray matter decreases correlate with duration of chronic pain, its intensity, and the interaction between duration and intensity4-6, suggesting that being in chronic pain changes the structure of the brain. Distinct chronic pain conditions have differential impacts on brain anatomy. These brain changes are reversible with pain relief .7-9 Apparently, some of the brain changes are a direct consequence of the presence of the pain, and most likely the underlying mechanism is based on synaptic plasticity that tracks the impact of the pain on the brain. Structural brain changes can be observed at early time points from initial injury as well as after long periods from injury, best illustrated in 2 animal studies.10,11
People with chronic pain rarely just feel pain. They have a myriad of other symptoms, including fatigue, poor sleep, depression, anxiety, migraine, and so many more.1. Persistent stress alters neuroendocrine rhythms. Chronic pain quickly becomes a comprehensive mind-body-community-spirit phenomenon. It must be addressed from all those levels.
"We found that of the people who have tears in their discs [between the vertebrae in the spine], some manage well with it and some manage poorly with it," said Dr. Eugene Carragee, associate professor of functional restoration at the Stanford University Medical Center in California. Carragee and his team compared the results of magnetic resonance images and vertebral disc tear tests among 96 patients who had known risk factors for disc degeneration. Such tears have traditionally been thought to directly cause lower back pain, with ruptures in the discs that cushion contact between the vertebra bones resulting in painful pressure being placed on sensitive nerves.
The researchers were surprised to find that those patients with disc problems were only slightly more likely to have back pain then those without any disc degeneration. They also noted that 25% of those who did have disc problems had no lower back pain at all. Carragee and his colleagues concluded that torn discs are not always painful, and not all lower back pain is a result of a torn disc.

Pequot Lakes City Council adopts updated comprehensive plan
About three years after work began to update the city's comprehensive plan, the Pequot Lakes City Council adopted that plan Tuesday, Feb. 5.
Council member Jerry Akerson cast the sole dissenting vote. The plan required four of five council members' votes to be adopted.
That requirement blocked the plan's passage in December 2011, when Akerson and former council member Tom Ryan voted against adoption.
The 2013 council includes newcomers Scott Pederson, who worked on the plan as a former Planning and Zoning Commission member, and Tyler Gardner.
Pederson and Gardner voted for the plan, along with council member Dave Sjoblad and mayor Nancy Adams, both of whom also voted for passage in 2011.
The process to craft an updated comprehensive plan began in 2010. The last time the comp plan was reworked was after the city and Sibley Township merged in 2002. That plan was adopted in 2004.
In June 2011, the planning commission recommended the council adopt the new plan, but the council tabled the recommendation for several months to give Akerson and Ryan time to bring concerns to the planning commission.
December 2011 was the last time the plan was addressed at the city council level.
Look for a complete story in the Feb. 14 edition of the Lake Country Echo.

My question is, how can they prove that the concussions causing the brain injuries happened while playing in the NFL, and not pee-wee/high school/college football?
22. The NFL caused or contributed to the injuries and increased risks to Plaintiffs
through its acts and omissions by, among other things: (a) historically ignoring the true risks of
MTBI in NFL football; (b) failing to disclose the true risks of repetitive MTBI to NFL players; and
(c) since 1994 deliberately creating false scientific studies and spreading misinformation
concerning the cause and effect relation between MTBI in NFL football and latent
neurodegenerative disorders and diseases.
3. The published medical literature, as detailed later in this Complaint, contains studies of
athletes dating back as far as 1928 demonstrating a scientifically observed link between repetitive
blows to the head and neuro-cognitive problems. The earliest studies focused on boxers, but by the
1950s and 1960s, a substantial body of medical and scientific evidence had been developed specifically
relating to neuro-cognitive injuries in the sport of football.
90. As a result, the NFL unilaterally assumed a duty to act in the best interests of the
health and safety of NFL players, to provide truthful information to NFL players regarding risks to
their health, and to take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure the safety of players.
99. Thus, since its inception, and continuing into the present, the NFL has been in a
position that affords it a special relationship to NFL players as the guardian of their health and safety.
For that reason, from its inception and continuing into the present, the NFL owed a duty of reasonable
care to keep NFL players informed of neurological risks, to inform NFL players truthfully, and not to
mislead NFL players about the risks of permanent neurological damage that can occur from MTBI
incurred while playing football.
NFL's done, it's over
the procedural/standing/peremption issues are going to take like 10 years to sort out before we even know what kind of case this is
This is why Goodell hammered the Saints.
quote:the part about the NFL hiding it is part of the claims of the players' lawsuits.
How do we know this?
Are the former players bound by the terms of the CBA that they played under?
And what about if an individual player played under multiple different CBAs?
And what about the Players from different eras who all played under different ones?

|HE4t Washer Error messages F11 and Fdl

|1st Post
|I have a 1+ year old Kenmore HE4t washer. Model # 11045992400. Over the past couple of months I've occasionally had the washer stop (apparently during the spin cycle) with an error code of F11. I was able to just hit start again and it would complete. A couple of times I couldn't tell whether it had gone thru rinse so I would run the rinse/spin cycle.
In the past week, I'm starting to get the F11 code with every load - big or small. And occasionally, I'm getting FDL. I called Sears and was told about resetting the machine. I did that but now it's getting worse. Is there a connection between the two codes? Do I have a serious control panel problem?
Help - I have a very smelly 15 year football and hockey player...

Communication between the Central Control Unit (CCU) and the
Motor Control Unit (MCU) cannot be sent correctly.
A Door Lock Error occurs if the door cannot be locked. It will try to lock
it six times before displaying the error code.
This is from Your tech sheet found under the top of the unit... Need to check your warranty, some of these parts may still be under warranty....like the CCU...
This unit was made by Whirlpool, but since it has the Kenmore name on it..........you will have to deal with Sears..

|Hope this can help you; I just spent some quality time today with the repairman over this same issue. Hopefully it can save you a $55 service call.
First he removed the top of the machine. This is done by pushing it back slightly, about 1/2 inch, so that the tabs come unhooked, and then lift it off. (I know I'm not explaining that well, but I'm sure there's a diagram or post on this board that would explain it better.) Near the back of the machine on the right hand side is where all of the wiring hooks into the computer portion that controls the door lock (and other things) is located. The pink wires control the door lock. They are inserted and removed in a manner similar to a phone jack.
Here's the solution: Make sure the wires are all inserted tightly; I guess with all of the jarring during the cycles, they sometimes loosen. He just took the connection out, looked at it and put it back in and now it runs fine---so far at least. He also check the connections on the other end of the wires. I'm keeping my fingers crossed; it is after all still day 1 of the "repair".
As an addendum: He came to this conclusion after I told him I was not going to spend another $269 to replace the "control board" on a lemon. I told him that the "sensor board" was covered for 2 years. His reply, "This is the control board." When I pulled out my owner manual, I realized it was the same thing. My husband then called and wanted to talk to him. Amazingly enough, during the conversation with my husband, the problem went from replacing the control board to a possible loose wire!!! And sure enough, that seems to have been the problem--amazing!!!
I also was chided for not purchasing a "protection agreement". And he also tried to sell me one before he left. I just said if I have any more problems, I'm just going to toss the machine and cut my losses; $1000 is enough to spend, I'll just get a new lower tech one.
He was actually a pretty nice guy that was just doing his job, but I still resent the whole "hard sell" game.
Hope this helps,

|I just purchased an HE4t and could not get it to start, either. After emailing Sears to find out what the code meant, I got the reply that the door was failing to lock (however, I didn't get the info on what to check).
Thank you very much for your post. I went right to the washer, got the lid off, (after taking off the three hex-head screws on the back), pushed in the various connections, started it up, and off it went! Hooray!

|All of my home remedies have failed--wiggling the wires isn't working that well anymore. Well, we're making one last ditch effort to save our investment. I'm having the repair guy come out and replace the Sensor Smart control board. I don't know if that's what the issue is, but if that doesn't work, we're pitching our machine. Does anyone know what part # the Sensor Smart control board is, just so the guy doesn't try to scam me when he gets here?
If anyone knows of any recalls or legal action about this machine, please post them here!!
Here's my latest "device" to get through a load of laundry: duct tape to the resuce again....looks real classy.

|Glad that it helped some. As I said in another post, the "wiggling" method isn't working as efficiently as it used to for me. But I recently called Sears back to have the "Smart Sensor" board replaced. Since my machine is over one year, but under two, it is the only part still under warranty. When they asked if I knew that was the problem, I told them no, but since it's the only thing still under warranty, I wanted it replaced. If it fixed the problem--great; if it didn't, I was pitching the washer.
Then one of the most amazing things happened: an honest repairman showed up!! When he saw the top missing from my washer he asked if someone was working on it; I told him no, this is how I have to do laundry and told him the whole routine: 1. Start laundry 2. Hear annoying beep 3. Swear like a drunken sailor as I run downstairs 4. Wiggle wires 5. Repeat several times for each load.
He said he's had several complaints about the same issue and there seems to be a bad solder or something. Whatever it is, the connection in the "SmartSensor" board doesn't work right. Replacing it should solve the problem. He looked on the computer and saw that the last guy just listed the problem as "Loose connection" and asked if it was for the same issue. I said yeah, and he (the first repairman) told me I'd have to fork over $269 + labor to replace the part. He shook his head and said, "No, and since you already paid for one service call, I'm going to credit your $55 toward the installation of the part." (I also didn't get charged for this call, I should add.)
So, the part is supposed to be delivered the June 12th, I have to call and schedule someone to come out and put it in. Installation would normally cost around $125, but since he credited us $55 for the first (useless) service call, it will run us around $70. It almost seems too good to be true--I'll have to see how this all pans out.
As a sidenote--this part may or may not be easy to install, but I'm going to let them do it. A woman I work with has a Calypso washer and had it serviced by someone who wasn't an "authorized" Calypso repair service and they did a fine job; she had no complaints. However, when they had the recall on the Calypso washers, she wasn't eligible for any sort of reimbursement or compensation because she didn't use an "authorized" repair guy. If they do any recalls or anything on this piece of work they call a washer, I don't want the same thing to happen to me.
Best of luck,

It is often said that pets can be beneficial to human health. Walking a dog certainly can't hurt, but is there any truth to this statement? A number of studies have in fact found that pets have positive effects.
"The dominant research approach for decades was only socio-psychological and examined certain effects of pets on their owners," said Detlev Nolte, general secretary of the Bremen-based research group Pets in Society.
The conclusions were based mainly on surveys and observations, so the findings were not very robust. Gradually, however, scientifically based research approaches have been developed as well, he said.
Ample evidence is now available that pets benefit their owners in many ways. There are physical benefits, for example, one of which is rather obvious but important nonetheless: exercise.
"According to a study by US scientists, 150 minutes of exercise weekly is enough to have a positive effect on the cardiovascular system," noted Ralf Jordan, chief physician at the Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention Clinic in Duisburg, Germany.
Dog owners are more likely to reach this number than the dogless.
Studies also show that people who are physically active outdoors daily have a stronger immune system.
"A dog forces you to go outdoors regularly," remarked Udo Kopernik, spokesman for the German Kennel Club. "People who own or look after a horse have to leave their home often, too."
You don't have to step outside to enjoy the health benefits of pets, though.
"It's been proven that the mere presence of animals, and above all petting them, greatly helps to lower blood pressure and heart rate," Jordan said.
The sympathetic nervous system is less active, he said, so the body releases fewer stress hormones such as adrenaline. This applies less to goldfish than to dogs, cats and other domesticised animals.
"A number of scientists have also found that physical activity has a beneficial effect on chronic illnesses like diabetes, cancer, hypertension and chronic bronchitis," Jordan said.
Having a pet can promote physical activity, he pointed out, thereby helping to keep such illnesses subdued and reducing the number and intensity of attacks, as in the case of bronchitis.
Pets can be psychologically beneficial, too. Various studies have shown that a person who lives alone, but has a pet, not only feels less lonely but also makes friends more easily. "Pets can serve to break the ice and make social contacts easier," Nolte said.
Someone is more readily approached when walking a dog than when hauling shopping bags home. A person with a budgie in a home for the elderly is more likely to have visits from fellow residents. A pet cat may pique the curiosity of neighbours in an otherwise impersonal block of flats.
"Pets provide a innocuous opportunity for a conversation," Nolte said. "To get talking, you can simply ask how the person's bird is doing."
Then there is the warm feeling of being needed by the pet. "That does everyone good," Kopernik remarked. Particularly retirees and parents whose children have grown up and moved out often enjoy having a pet, he noted.
People who are ill may receive a similar boost. "Numerous studies indicate that pets can provide added motivation for them to get back on their feet," said Kopernik, who likened pets to children that have to be cared for.
Pets can also alleviate unhappy situations. "Our research group once did a study on dogs' effects on children whose parents divorce," Nolte said. It found that dogs could serve as a kind of neutral third party, "listening" to the worries without responding.
"Dogs clearly had the function of comforter and listener,"
Adults, too, often feel happier with pets, he added.
"The mere presence of a pet, or touching it, can be pacifying."

Helen Thomas: Go home to Europe, Jews
posted at 4:10 pm on June 4, 2010 by Allahpundit
Tony Snow once accused her of stating "the Hezbollah view" in her questions during the Israel/Lebanon war. Little did he know how right he was. Or maybe he did know: Watching this, it occurred to me that an 89-year-old reporter who's moved in elite D.C. circles for decades has probably let slip her preference for Judenrein in the Holy Land once or twice whilst among colleagues. And yet, if she's suffered even a single repercussion for it, it's news to me. Such is the state of the left that one of their journalistic patron saints can spend years during the press briefings belching up anti-Israel propaganda and inveighing against a "deliberate massacre" that hasn't even been investigated yet and, aside from a few righty blogs, no one bats an eye. I'll be surprised if even this ode to a one-state "solution" draws much heat. If, as the world's intelligentsia insists with varying degrees of candor, Israel is the basic problem in the region, what could be more logical than Helen wanting to excise it? That's how you treat tumors, isn't it?
Speaking of which. To put this in proper context for you, compare these comments from the grand dame of the D.C. press corps to those of another prominent critic of Israel offered five years ago. The Hezbollah view indeed:
Iran's hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that if Germany and Austria feel responsible for massacring Jews during World War II, a state of Israel should be established on their soil…
"You oppressed them, so give a part of Europe to the Zionist regime so they can establish any government they want. We would support it," he said, according to a transcript of his original Farsi-language comments given to AFP.
"So, Germany and Austria, come and give one, two or any number of your provinces to the Zionist regime so they can create a country there which all of Europe will support and the problem will be solved at its root," he said.
"Why do they insist on imposing themselves on other powers and creating a tumour so there is always tension and conflict?"
Some of you will want to e-mail the White House or Hearst after watching to demand that she be kicked out of the daily briefings going forward. Resist the urge. Drudge has picked up the video so the powers-that-be will surely see it. If, absent public pressure forcing them to act, they're untroubled by it, then fine. Let her sit there and ask her questions, and whenever you see her onscreen, take it as a reminder that there really are ideological tumors growing out there.

SearchAll Refuges
Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge is managed as part of the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. A National Wildlife Refuge Complex is an administrative grouping of two or more refuges, wildlife management areas or other refuge conservation areas that are primarily managed from a central office location. Refuges are grouped into a complex structure because they occur in a similar ecological region, such as a watershed or specific habitat type, and have a related purpose and management needs. Typically, a project leader or complex manager oversees the general management of all refuges within the complex and refuge managers are responsible for operations at specific refuges. Supporting staff, composed of administrative, law enforcement, refuge manager, biological, fire, visitor services, and maintenance professionals, are centrally located and support all refuges within the complex.
Other refuges in the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex include: Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, Ellicott Slough National Wildlife Refuge, Farallon National Wildlife Refuge, Marin Islands National Wildlife Refuge, Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge, and San Pablo Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The Refuge Complex headquarters is located at 1 Marshlands Rd, Fremont, CA 94555.

Associate Professor of Biology and Neuroscience
Director of Neuroscience Program
Druckenmiller Hall - 130E
Hadley Horch
Examination of the molecular control of neuronal structure and function. Topics include the molecular basis of neuronal excitability, the factors involved in chemical and contact-mediated neuronal communication, and the complex molecular control of developing and regenerating nervous systems. In the spring of 2017, students enrolling in Molecular Neurobiology have two choices for the lab. They may enroll in a traditional weekly lab (LAB 2 offered on Tuesday), or enroll in an intensive 8-day lab (LAB 1) to be held during the first half of spring break at Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory, in Salisbury Cove, Maine. Participants will stay in dorms and focus solely on lab work for the duration of the lab. This experience will completely replace weekly labs. The focus of the lab will be learning Bioinformatics and running quantitative-PCR experiments. All expenses (transportation, room, and board) are covered. Signing up for either lab section (weekly Tuesday labs--CRN# 20059, or the intensive 8 days over spring break --CRN# 20058) completes the laboratory requirement for the course.
The Horch lab uses the cricket model system to examine the molecular neurobiological basis of a number of areas including regeneration, behavior, and development. Mainly, the lab will focus on the regeneration of interneurons in the auditory system of the cricket. Removing one ear induces auditory interneurons to sprout new dendrites, grow abnormally across the mid-line, and form synapses with intact auditory neurons from the opposite ear, both in developing as well as adult crickets. This is one of the most elegant and complex examples of neuronal regeneration known. Techniques such as dextran backfills, immunohistochemistry, and confocal microscopy will be used to understand the molecular cues involved in this phenomenon. Other projects include examining the role of octopamine on male cricket aggression and attempting to create transgenic crickets in order to examine the development of individual neurons.

My husband is undergoing chemo treatments and is very weak. At Doctor's appointments sometimes the room is so full there is no place to sit. This is a good walker- sturdy, the seat is comfortable and wide and can be folded up when not in use but doesn't get in the way even if you leave it down. Has adjustable height and states it holds up to 300 pounds. No assembly required- pull it out of the box and you're done. Very lightweight and easy to push. I would recommend this to anyone needing a walker. I also believe in leaving feedback so others can get an honest opinion before they buy.Read More
The Drive Clever-Lite Rollator Walker is lightweight and easy to use. The price was below other walkers of comparable quality. Construction was excellent quality. I would highly recommend this walker.Read More
I am not sure if I just overlooked it or wasn't paying attention, but clearly the walker was way too wide to get through doorways. I had to return it because my elderly aunt could not go into the bathroom area of the house. As a home builder myself I know that most houses are built with 2' wide openings leading to bathrooms, whether it be new houses or older houses. Especially older homes. Not everyone lives in a new house and a lot of high end new homes may have homes built with 2'6" wide door openings. However, my house does not have doorways that would allow for this walker to get through so she would have to go through sideways to accommodate this walker and she would never be able to do that especially with the larger wheels on this item either. Also, the wheels on this product were very sticky on our tile. We have marble throughout the house and the wheels may have worked better on tile that was more rough but on a smooth tile they did not want to swivel as easily which caused the wheels to get stopped up side ways instead of going forward. I finally just locked them in place like a normal walker would to make it go straight all the time so she wouldn't trip, but it didn't matter, due to the door way issue it was not going to work and had to be returned. It is really too bad because the whole reason this walker was so great was that if she got weak while walking she could sit down and rest for a minute and then continue on. We were so excited about it and were willing to pay the high price for that one great feature (the seat).Read More

Check Out Muay Thai Combat Episode 7 Featuring Saenchai
- Written by Dave Walsh
When you think about Muay Thai and some of the best over the past few years, without a doubt the name of Saenchai should come to mind as he has fought all over the world while still staying close to his home base in Thailand fighting in the top stadiums. His style is really second-to-none and against non-Thais he has been known to fight as high as 147lbs, over 15lbs above his natural 140lbs weight class.
In the latest episode of Muay Thai Combat, episode 7, Stefania Picelli, the mastermind behind Muay Thai Combat as well as Yokkao Extreme, takes us inside of the Saenchai seminar in Italy, following the wild, breakthrough success of the latest Yokkao Extreme event. Stefania finds a way to not only stay busy, but to keep bringing some of the best muay thai content around the world, which is hard not to applaud. Go ahead and check this out here.
So after watching that, what are the chances that you'd like to attend a seminar from Saenchai? Yokkao are looking at the possibility of getting Saenchai back out to the United States to fight again and maybe even hold a seminar. They want to hear who you would want Saenchai to fight in the United States and where you'd like to see a seminar from him. I know for me, personally, I'd love to see Kevin Ross get another shot at Saenchai.
So send a tweet to @YokkaoBoxing as well as @LiverKickdotcom with who you'd like Saenchai to fight and if you'd like to see a seminar!

The Vacation at Balangan Beach was very nice, we had a nice bungalow with pool and breakfast include. The Beach is very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Die Anlage mit nur 6 Bungalows und einem Pool ist gepflegt und schön angelegt. Leider sind die Zimmer nur spärlich eingerichtet und das Badezimmer hätte eine Sanierung nötig. Beachten: Bungalow mit Klimaanlage buchen..Das Frühstück ist knapp genügend. Der Strand Balangan ist fussläufig erreichbar und sehr schön.

Everything fine :) Really nice staff, always helpful and friendly!
Nice location (beautiful Jimbaran beach, close to places of interest in the South of the island and not too far from Kuta and Seminyak). Better to have a scooter.
Alex pays close attention to his guests. Very convenient.
Casual breakfast. Clean room. Wifi ok.
Thanks Bali.
What a wonderful accomodation! A little piece of paradise in Bali. I stayed for 3 nights and it was a perfect start of our holiday in Bali. Great food is beeing served in the restaurant and it's really cheap as well. The staff is very friendly.
It has a nice pool with comfortable sunbeds and the cabin is very romantic and comfortable. I stayed in Bali for 2 weeks and stayed in 5 different hotels in which Flower Bud was my definite number 1! I would definitley go back!
Amazing very happy! Thank you so much

Dershowitz: The charging instrument filed against George Zimmerman is "unethical" and will never make it past a judge
posted at 9:05 pm on April 12, 2012 by Allahpundit
Four and a half minutes of brutal criticism for prosecutor Angela Corey, whom he accuses straight-out of grandstanding for political gain. It'll take you 30 seconds to read the entire charging instrument but I'll save you 20 and post the critical bit:
Second-degree murder under Florida law is defined as:
The unlawful killing of a human being, when perpetrated by any act imminently dangerous to another and evincing a depraved mind regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual
Dershowitz's point: There's nothing in the charging instrument that suggests probable cause to believe Zimmerman had a "depraved mind regardless of human life" when he shot Martin. On the contrary, he notes, the facts as stated are consistent with self-defense. (Tellingly, there's also no reference to Zimmerman's injuries.) The prosecution can amend the affidavit to strengthen its case if the judge throws it out, but then you're left wondering why they didn't submit a more detailed affidavit in the first place.
I don't understand Corey's strategy in charging him with murder two. Maybe she thinks Zimmerman will plead to a lesser charge, but if it's anything less than manslaughter she's going to take tremendous heat for having gone too easy on him. That's a weird predicament for a politically-minded prosecutor to put herself in. She'll take some heat even if she gets him to cop to manslaughter, in fact, since manslaughter is a crime of simple negligence and people who want him prosecuted believe Zimmerman's far more morally culpable than that. (This is all assuming he'd be willing to make a deal, which, given the weakness of the charging instrument, he probably isn't.) In fact, I also don't get why she insisted on filing an affidavit of probable cause instead of taking the case to a grand jury. If they refused to indict him, she could have blamed them for him getting off and claimed she'd given it her best effort. As it is, if Dershowitz is right, her own affidavit's about to be tossed by a judge and then she'll have to answer for why she couldn't even get to first base on a conviction.
Maybe her plan is to use the judge here as a get-out-of-tough-cases card? She probably knows she can't get Zimmerman on murder two, but she also doesn't want to be the one to have to break that to the public. She also doesn't want to have to try to prosecute him on murder two if the evidence isn't there, which would be a risk if the grand jury did indict him. So instead she's taking the middle path: Go directly to the judge with a weak charging instrument and rely on him/her to throw it out. Then come back with a new affidavit listing a lesser charge — manslaughter or murder three — and say that she has no choice but to prosecute Zimmerman under that because the court stymied her on murder two. I'll be curious to see what the fact pattern in those affidavits looks like because, frankly, if it's as thin as the excerpt I posted up top, I'm not sure she'll get the court to sign off on those charges either.

In fact, the certification was probably why I got my new job. I'm doing a lot of troubleshooting log files and quite often, we'll have to look at an actual capture to see what exactly is wrong. As they say, packet's don't lie.
Laura is a good teacher and the course materials are extensive and clear. She repeats important topics several times so it really makes it easy to remember. It's not topic specific like a SANS course. It's apples and oranges. It covers all the major protocols and all the different ways wireshark can analyze a problem. For 700 it's not a bad deal. I can't remember exactly how many hours of videos it was but I seem to recall about 40. I don't think you will be disappointed but as always YMMV.

"The vast majority of patients with significant pulmonary valve stenosis are having valve dilation in the catheterization lab, precluding the need for surgery. We are fortunate to have excellent catheterizers with high success and safety ratings, as well."
--Susan Saleeb, MD, Assistant in Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital
Audrey Marshall, MD, is the director of Invasive Cardiology at Boston Children's Hospital.
If your infant or child has been diagnosed with pulmonary valve stenosis, a basic understanding of the condition will help you to cope with this congenital (present at birth) heart defect.
Pulmonary stenosis is a narrowing of the pulmonary valve, which normally lets blood flow from the right ventricle into the lungs.
The condition is congenital (present at birth)—and is the second most common congenital heart defect (5 to 10 percent of all cases).
Severe stenosis in newborns causes signs and symptoms of:
Symptoms in childhood are rare and may include:
The experienced heart specialists in Boston Children's Catheterization Lab, Congenital Heart Valve Program and Cardiac Surgery Department understand how distressing the diagnosis of pulmonary stenosis can be for parents. You can have peace of mind knowing that our specialists treat some of the most complex pediatric heart conditions in the world, with overall success rates approaching 98 percent—among the highest in the nation.
We use the following elements to provide the best possible outcomes for PVS:
At Boston Children's, we provide families of children with PVS with a wealth of information, resources, programs and support—before, during and after your child's treatment. With our compassionate, family-centered approach, you and your child are in the best possible hands.

Boston Children's Cardiac Neurodevelopment Program
Children who've had surgery or other life-saving interventions for heart problems as infants are at greater risk of neurodevelopmental delays and difficulties. By school age, they tend to have more academic, behavioral and coordination issues than other children. Boston Children's Cardiac Neurodevelopment Program—one of the few of its kind in the United States—provides expert screening, evaluation and care for infants, children and teenagers with congenital heart disease who are at risk for neurodevelopmental problems. Care begins soon after your child's first cardiac procedure, and continues as your child grows to make sure she's hitting her developmental milestones.

If Kris Williams didn't mess up his paper work, he would have won the fish challenge, picked his cut of pork and cooked his way in to the MasterChef New Zealand top 10.
That's what the Matakana-based builder reckons.
The first hurdle to make the top 10 seemed right up the seafood buff's alley - write down the correct name of the 10 New Zealand fish in front of you. They're all numbered. You have a minute.
Half way in, Kris realised he'd had a blow-out - he'd named the fish in the wrong order. He tried his best to sort out the mess, but there was no time left.
"If I hadn't have stuffed up I would have got nine and won the challenge and got to pick my cut of meat and safely gone through," he said.
Kris said he named nine out of the 10 fish and blamed his poor penmanship on being too tired from the hectic filming schedule.
The winner on the day - the undefeated "culinary rockstar" Aaron - correctly picked just six.
Fellow contestant Vanessa said what everyone was thinking: "Of course it's Aaron."
"I'm annoyed because I would have easily won the challenge, but that's the game we play," Kris said.
Aaron won the privilege of dishing out the nose-to-tail portions of a pig for cooking. It seemed like a potentially vindictive task, but the yoga dad divvied up the animal, pouring praise on his fellow contenders as he did so.
Kris was given a pork loin to prepare. He served up two dishes - spicy pork balls with cucumber and chilli oil and a grilled pork steak with beans, kumera and potato puree.
When time was up, Kris knew he should have made more time for cleaning up his plate and he blamed this on emotional wreck, Vanessa, operating on the bench beside him.
Judge Josh Emett looked at what Kris presented and said: "That's one of the dirtiest plates I've ever seen," reminding him that it was messy presentation which almost sent Vanessa packing the week before.
"I knew I was gonna get grilled, but what can you do? Just man up and take it," Kris said.
Emett was harsh, saying Kris didn't show any signs of improving.
"If I was to look at this I would say this person doesn't know what they're doing," he said.
Fellow judge Ray McVinnie said Kris' dishes were "under-flavoured, under-seasoned, underwhelming.
"This is another example of, 'Your tea's on the table' - the plain cooking done in the 50s or something.
Josh Emett went on: "There's nothing left in the tank with Kris I don't think."
And McVinnie finished him off: "Running on empty".
As a viewer of previous MasterChef seasons, Kris always thought it looked like a pretty easy task.
"But when you're on the show with the pressure that's on you ... I probably never cooked as bad as I have in my life."
