Progress Down 10%: Sees FYQ4 Below Estimates
Shares of Progress Software (PRGS) were halted at 4:27 pm, Eastern, just before the company reported fiscal Q3 revenue and profit ahead of estimates but forecast this quarter and the year below expectations.
The stock is expected to start trading again at 5 pm, Eastern. It closed up 42 cents, or 2%, at $19.39.
Revenue in the three months ended in August fell slightly, year over year, to $128.4 million, yielding EPS of 31 cents, down roughly a third from the year-earlier level, excluding some costs.
That was better than the $128.05 million and 29 cents the Street had been expecting.
CEO Richard Reidy remarked that the company's results were mostly held back in the division called Enterprise Business Solutions, or ESB, where companies were frozen with uncertainty about the direction of the economy.
"The challenging macroeconomic environment in August, particularly within financial services, led some customers to postpone their purchasing decisions," he said. "With our focus on solution selling, delays in closing larger deals have a material impact on our quarterly results. Though we have greatly improved our sales capabilities over the last year, we are not consistently performing at desired levels."
For the current quarter, fiscal Q4, the company sees revenue in a range of $130 million to $134 million, and EPS of 30 cents to 33 cents. That is below the average estimate of $145 million and 42 cents.
Update: Progress shares have resumed trading and are down $1.89, or 10%, at $17.50 in late trading.

Monte Vista High School student Ale Pineda has been awarded the John Madden Family Scholarship to attend prep school at Choate in Connecticut. Ale played a key role on the Monte Vista football team but was injured in his sixth game against the Cal High Grizzlies. Although his season ended early, he was offered eight college scholarships to play football; he decided to apply to Choate for a post graduate year and was awarded the John Madden Family Scholarship.

…It's a damn hate crime! Sometimes, I can't stand BET's news reporting online. I really can't.
BET, This should not be the title of a post about what happened to James Anderson in Jackson, MS. All of the details noted in the article point to an obvious hate crime. Sure, sure allegedly. Sprinkle the word "allegedly" around. Fine.
Mess. Hot Trailer Park Mess.
Call it what it is.

The best thing i appreciate about Redeye isnt' just the video's, its his general love for the DRAFT.. We talk about these guys yr round, basically starting next months, sure theres alittle more dead time in here leading up to the season, but hes one of the real hard draft fans, and goes yr round, nad dosen't just stop by to diss peoples opinions during the draft.. Some people don't understand how much thought goes into these forums during the yr leading up to the draft, as they just come here during the actual draft, and it bugs me when they pop in and have nothing but negativity if someone dosen't agree with the pick.. Redeye is one that keeps these Draft forums alive during the season, when there is very few posters chiming in...
The meat and potatoes of the draft forums if u will... Shoot, we've been chatting about some of these guys for 2-3 yrs now.... Also, u can debate with redeye and disagree, and have a FUN debate, without getting sarcastic remarks and name calling.. That we could use more of on these boards...
The draft forums would be half what they are without Redeye.
Thank you for everything!

Sent Jedi a PM about this exact topic. I'm sure you could find plenty of people on other team's forums that use these videos. Influential to my understanding of prospects and the game itself. Thanks for what you do Jedi!
I am actually gonna expand on this a bit...
During the weeks leading up to the draft tons of people find their way to the draft forum. But, there are a good few posters who spend a lot of time here year round and I want to thank all of them(you know who you are). Its a fun discussion. The most fun discussion (for me) that goes on in the Giants boards. People debate and discuss all sorts of happening in college football and potential draftees.
Those of you who are college football fans and don't come here more often are missing out.
So thanks to all. You are all fun to discuss/ debate with, even if you are always wrong when debating me.
Another shout out. If I see you've posted in a thread, I'll be reading it for sure.
agree with this thread, thanks bro. You make home scouting reasonable for all of us.

I arrived in Bass Harbor Maine last Wednesday 5/24/06. Bass Harbor is on the same island as Bar Harbor which is surrounded by the Acadia National Park. Thursday was an exciting day. I stayed at the campgrounds and did laundry (yes you really needed to know this).
Friday I went to Bar Harbor and explored the area. I looked into taking a sea kayak tour and then had lunch at a place called Geddy's. After lunch I walked around town and stop in one shop call Cool as a Moose (www.coolasamoose.com). They and some really cool T-shirts and other stuff there. I broke down and bought myself a T-shirt and (if you are reading this in front of my youngest nephews skip the rest of the sentence) I bought my youngest nephews T-shirts for the birthday
Saturday I drove into Acadia National Park and the weather was beautiful. I finally got to put shorts back on instead of wearing jeans. Anyhow, I drove up to the highest point in Acadia called Cadilac Mountian. Another highlight was a place called Thunder Hole. It is a spot on the water where the water rushes in and sprays the area. The higher the tide the higher the spray. The tide was pretty low so it wasn't spraying to high but it was neat to watch and I went back on Sunday and got some better pictures. Another spot is call Bubble Rock, there I got out and climb to the top of the rock and got some good pictures.
Sunday was another beautiful day and I went back into Bar Harbor to take a sea kayak tour. While I was waiting for the tour I had lunch at a nearby restaurant and had fresh lobster for lunch. The lobster was excellent. The sea kayak tour went from 2-4, the first 20-30 minutes were an instruction period as none of the people in the tour had ever kayaked before. I was paired up with a woman that was taking the tour by herself. They had given me the option of taking a single person kayak or pairing up with someone and taking a two person kayak. I was glad I decided to pair up because I knew I was going to get a good workout. We left the harbor and crossed over to an island called Bar Island
Monday I took a drive up into Maine looking for part of the Appalachian Trail. It took me a couple of hours to get to Monson Maine and once I got there I drove right by it. It went to the next town and got directions and headed back to Monson and drove right by it again. Once I finally found the sign and parking area, I took a short hike on the Appalachian Trail. I didn't go very far, but I can now say I have been on the Appalachain Trail. Maybe someday I can get to do some real hiking on the Appalachain Trail, maybe I'll even cover the whole 2100 miles.
Anyhow that has been the highlight of the past week. I'm now heading towards Michigan for a graduation. On the way I plan to make 3 stops. One stop is the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown NY, the next stop will be the Frank Llyod Wright house Falling Water in PA and the Rock and Roll hall of fame in Cleveland. From the to my parents. That will probably be the next time I update everyone on my travels.

I drew that cartoon you see there over a decade ago (probably evident by the look of the computer), mostly as a reminder to myself to get outside more often. A dozen years later and I'm still in need of that reminder: even without a full-time job that requires me to be online or in front of a computer, I still spend a hefty portion of my day sitting at a desk, gazing at this window into a digital world instead of the real window next to me.
Now, don't get me wrong: I'm not going to preach about how the Internet Is Bad and how the world was a better place back in the good ol' days before Google and Facebook and Twitter. Moderation is key, and I'm still figuring that out myself.
After writing the two posts about tactile digital play, both about some new digital toys and a couple app-based board games, I thought some more about the way we incorporate technology into the way we play. It occurred to me that this is nothing new; the only thing different is the type of technology. Currently a lot of this focuses on digital technology and the capabilities of smartphones, because that's what we've got. They're types of technologies that are widespread and have a lot of potential for creative (and not-so-creative) use, from augmented reality toy guns to an smartphone-powered talking monkey.

Flatt Lonesome to perform at Lakes Bluegrass Festival
The Lakes Bluegrass Festival will host Flatt Lonesome, a rising star in the bluegrass music genre, when the event occurs Aug. 21-25 at the fairgrounds in Pine River.
Flatt Lonesome is a six-person bluegrass ensemble made of Kelsi Robertson Harrigill on the mandolin alongside her brother, Buddy Robertson, on guitar and his twin sister, Charli Robertson, on fiddle as well as bassist Dominic Illingworth, Michael Stockton on Resophonic guitar, and Kelsi's husband, Paul Harrigill, on banjo. The Robertson siblings all share the role of vocals in the band.
Kelsi, Buddy and Charli sing solos, duets and as trios with the band. They've been performing together since starting a family band called Sandy Creek Revival with their father, Pastor Dolton Robertson, and their mother, Lisa.
Flatt Lonesome formed after the siblings' father decided his parishioners needed him to stay in one place. Kelsi, band leader, says their sibling harmony is one of their most acclaimed strengths. Perhaps this harmony is responsible for their very early success.
Flatt Lonesome made its big debut not by traveling together across the country playing venue after venue until the group was discovered. Instead, the band played its very first venue at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music Association International Band Championship in Nashville, Tenn., in February 2011. Though the band was in its infancy and at its very first stage appearance, the band took third place. The group returned in 2012 to take first place.
"It was kind of like a test for ourselves. We wanted to enter the competition to see how we would do and see where we were at competing against other groups," Kelsi said.
With the January release of its self-titled debut album, the group achieved acclaim for its recorded music as well. Favorites of the band and fans include "I'm Blue" written by Paul Harrigil and his sister, and the gospel song "Just Any Moment" written by Kelsi. The band has already received six nominations at this year's International Bluegrass Music Awards. They were to find out if they won by Aug. 14.
"We're still kind of on a high with that one right now. We've been really excited with how well it's done. So we're crossing our fingers until Wednesday night to find out how that goes," Kelsi said. "We've made it through two rounds of voting, so hopefully we can make it through one more."
The band's music was inspired by various artists. The album features not only original music, but also covers of songs by other successful artists. Among the songs that fans might recognize are "Jackson," by Johnny Cash and June. It is undecided whether the band intends to play any new musical scores during the bluegrass festival.
"We've put our own spin on Merle Haggard's 'Ramblin' Fever' so I'm sure we'll throw that one out there," Kelsi said. "We've got some new original tunes we're still going back and forth on. We don't know if we want to still keep it a secret or put ourself out on a limb."
Kelsi suggests that audience members listen for the group's original music, whether old or new, as it is what the band is most known for.
For most of the band members, the Lakes Bluegrass Festival will mark the first visit to the state of Minnesota.
"We don't have any family there," Kelsi said. "We don't know anyone there to have said, 'Hey, have these people come sing for you.' So it's great to have people like you guys who have kind of heard us and loved what we do, so it's been great."
Flatt Lonesome is scheduled to perform twice Thursday, Aug. 22, (7:30 and 10 p.m.) and twice Friday, Aug. 23 (1:40 and 6 p.m.). The group will be one of more than 40 professional bluegrass bands at the festival.

Reverse trade missions
U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA): Often, U.S. firms find that they can save time and money by attending USTDA events, where all of the key officials associated with current projects in particular sectors (such as renewable energy, electric power, and climate change) and various countries are gathered at one time.
For example, reverse trade missions are carefully planned visits to the United States to enable foreign delegates to observe the design, manufacture, demonstration, and operation of U.S. goods and services that potentially can help them achieve their development goals. These missions also present excellent opportunities for U.S. businesses to establish or enhance relationships with prospective overseas customers and clients.
Similarly, USTDA sponsors conferences on planned or potential overseas development projects that represent export opportunities for U.S. companies. These activities facilitate discussions on U.S. technology options to achieve sustainable development in our overseas partner countries, legal and regulatory barriers to infrastructure development, and financing mechanisms available for project implementation. Through these events, USTDA provides a forum for U.S. companies to highlight their goods, services and technology and have one-on-one private sessions with foreign project sponsors and other potential customers.
U.S. Commercial Service: Through the International Buyer Program (IBP), thousands of qualified international buyers and prospective distributors and trade partners are brought to the United States each year to meet with U.S. companies at approximately 35 major trade-only exhibitions. The IBP is targeting an increasing number of RE&EE-related trade shows, and interest is growing from foreign buyers who are seeking U.S. RE&EE technologies and services.
The chances of finding the right international business partner greatly increases at a trade show that's part of the IBP. Not only do companies meet more buyers, representatives, and distributors, but products and services can also be listed in the Export Interest Directory distributed to all international visitors.
U.S. exporters will also benefit from:
Access to hundreds of current international trade leads in your industry.
Hands-on export counseling, marketing analysis, and matchmaking services by country and industry experts from the U.S. Commercial Service.
Use of an on-site International Business Center, where company representatives can meet privately with prospective international buyers, sales representatives, and business partners as well as obtain assistance from experienced U.S. Commercial Service staff.
RE&EE exports in action
Here are some examples of recent reverse trade missions:
The Africa Clean Energy Solutions (ACES) Initiative, established in 2010, funds projects to develop clean energy and energy efficiency solutions to support the continent's economic growth, as well as create job opportunities for U.S. workers. Already, four grant agreements have already been signed under the ACES Initiative that are designed to open new export markets for U.S. goods and services. For example, USTDA supported a reverse trade mission of South African officials to the United States to view energy efficient building solutions that resulted in South African retailer Pick 'n Pay ordering U.S.-manufactured prismatic skylights and LED lighting from U.S. producers for its retail locations. Use of these patented prismatic skylights is estimated to reduce energy costs by 70 to 80 percent.
In 2011, the IBP will bring foreign buyers to the American Wind Energy Association's WINDPOWER expo in Anaheim, California and the Renewable Energy Technology (RETECH) expo in Washington, DC.
Where do I start?
Sign up for USTDA's eNewsletter to monitor upcoming USTDA conferences and reverse trade missions for opportunities to meet directly with key foreign decision-makers. The eNewsletter provides regular updates including a link to USTDA's Events Calendar.
View the IBP list of trade shows in the coming year to find those in the RE&EE sector. The U.S. Commercial Service project officer and trade show organizer contact can provide you with additional information on the IBP and other international sales and marketing initiatives at the show.
To receive counseling on how the programs listed here can help you achieve your international sales goals, please contact your local U.S. Commercial Service international trade specialist.

text: I have a 99 sonoma with a 4.3 v6 and 180,000 miles on it. The truck starts then dies one to five seconds later. When I depress the foot throttle the truck dies instantly. I think I have finally narrowed down to the fuel system because i put fuel in the intake and it ran for 30 seconds. The pressure is at 60 psi and drops to about 56 after the truck dies so I don't think its a leak or the fuel pump. Any help is appreciated.

I'm a newbe here so I hope I'm in the right place. I have been a bee haver off and on for about thirty years and am trying to become a real beekeeper. I decided since I have the tools i will now build my own hives. I have access to some lumber from Germany and am trying to find out what it is. It resembles pine a lot due to the knots but it seems to be somewhat harder. Does anyone know what it may be and is there any reason I shoulden't use it for hives and frames.
Thanks, Jim

[quote user="heavyhitter"][quote user="Redeyejedi"][quote user="heavyhitter"][quote user="titwio"]There's two definite possibilities....Either Dwayne Allen or Coby Fleener. Fleener is 6'6 and bigger than Allen. He would probably be more on the Giants radar IMO but I don't think there's any way the Giants take him in the first.[/quote]What about Michael Egnew (Missouri), 6"6, 245 lbs. Could possibly be around in the 3rd to 4th round range. Thoughts?
[/quote]Egnew is way to soft and nowhere near as explosive as Fleener very similar to Chase Coffman.[/quote]Realize Fleener has got much more to offer in terms of talent, but he's also projected as a what, late 1st, early 2nd rounder. Do you think the Giants are going to target at TE that early in the draft?
[/quote]Depends who is on the board. I think its a possibilty. I just dont think there that similar besides size.Egnew isnt fluid like Fleener. He is a fineese TE without an explosive element to his game. I would take Ladarius Green before him

My son and I planned to inspect our single hive and thought I'd better get a medium to add since their numbers were good and there was a lot of evening traffic.
Almost all the frames were drawn last time we looked. Saw a good amount of capped honey too, but held off the temptation.
We decided the morning was too cool as did the bees because they weren't flying yet. We decided to take a trip to the dump to give them some time to get up and out.
We returned from the dump only to find a seventy foot high swarm right in front of the hive, they were swarming. I was watching my one hive swarm!!
After a few minutes they moved about twenty feet east and settled on a nice shade tree about 8 feet off the ground. A quick dash to the garage to set up a SBB, deep and medium quickly leveled and a sprayer full of sugar water, I was ready to catch my first swarm, my own!!
I shook them off the branch into a box, introduced them to the new hive and shut the lid. I left quite a few on the tree because when I went back, they were particularly feisty. After some minutes, they made their way to where the queen was and I now had two new hives. Nice how they can make our minds up for us.
I inspected a few days ago and didn't see any capped honey so I added a feeder which they're taking in slowly. I didn't now see either queen or any capped brood in either.

The apartment has been furnished mostly in art nouveau style. The art nouveau style is very wide spread in Prague, the city giving the name to this apartment. The apartment has been furnished with original antique furniture with a fine decoration taste. In 98 square meters the guest will find two double bedrooms, a living room as well as a big kitchen with dining area and a spacious bathroom. There is also a wide hall on entering the apartment. The apartment can accommodate up to eight guests.
Both bedrooms are equipped with majestic bedroom sets, original works of master carpenters of French and German origin in the early twentieth century. In the master bedroom there is a double bed (200 cm x 140 cm) together with a very nice wardrobe, a chest of drawers and a bedside table, all original pieces in German art nouveau style. This bedroom is very bright having a 3 meters x 2 meters big glass window. In the second bedroom the guest will find a very nice set of furniture in French art nouveau style including a double bed (200 cm x 140 cm), a wardrobe and two bedside tables. Tasty paintings and illustrations on the walls together with appropriate ceiling and table lamps round the delightful atmosphere.
The living room has a large sofa that offers a comfortable sit place to the guests. It can eventually be converted in the sleep place for up to two persons (200 cm x 160 cm). A 32" flat screen TV with local and international channels can be watched in this room. A blue-ray-player is also the guest's disposition. The living room is also very bright having a 3 meters x 2 meters big glass window
The kitchen is excellently equipped with oven, microwave, four hobs, fridge, coffee machine, toaster, kettle, dishwasher as well as a complete set of dishes, glasses and cutlery. In the dining table there is place for up to 8 guests as well as a sofa that can eventually converted into the sleep place for two children. There is also a wall TV in the kitchen.
The apartment has a modern bathroom with a spacious shower, a big sink and a comfortable toilet. There is a hairdryer at the guest's disposition. The bathroom walls are made of a nice marble in a brown tone.
The floor is wood parquet in the whole apartment (except the bathroom). The apartment has central heating. The building dates back to early last century and has a beautiful facade. The apartment is in the courtyard, so it is very quiet. First class bed sheets as well as towels will be provided.
There is WiFi Internet access in the apartment included in the apartment's price. Up to four free bicycles are also available upon request.
The apartment is located at the Prinzregentenstrasse 93, 81677 Munich, Germany. This is just 50 meters from the famous Prinzregentenplatz (Prince Regent Square) in Munich, which is also a subway and bus station. With the subway you are in 10 minutes in the Marienplatz, the central square in Munich. It is a privileged location in the prestigious Bogenhausen quarter of Munich. All shops and facilities for daily needs are within walking distance. The atmosphere in the Prince Regent Square with its many recreational opportunities such as Prince Regent Theatre, Prinzregentenbad, English Garden and the renowned galleries and quality restaurants ensure the continued attractiveness of the neighborhood as a favorite of Munich.
The apartment does not have a private parking or garage available but the apartment's area (Bogenhausen) is a free parking area. You can park with no cost in almost any street in the area. The parking availability in the area depends on the day hour, but it takes no more than 5 minutes in average to find a free lot. If you are planning to move around, outside Munich, it is not a bad idea to have a car. For movements inside Munich it is probably not a very good idea (there are lot of paid parking areas in the city).

Reviews of this property
Beautiful centrally located apartment. Metro connection just a few meters from the apartment. The facilities were as described. Communication with the owner was easily, and we all felt very comfortable. We were surprised how quiet the apartment is, and in the central location.
If we go back to Munich, I already know where I want to live. Many thanks to the owner!
Schöne zentral gelegene Wohnung. U-Bahnanschluss nur wenige Meter von der Wohnung entfernt. Die Ausstattung war wie beschrieben. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war problemlos, und wir haben uns alle sehr wohl gefühlt. Überrascht waren wir wie ruhig die Wohnung ist, und das in der zentralen Lage.
Wenn wir wieder nach München kommen weiss ich schon jetzt wo ich wohnen möchte. Besten Dank an den Vermieter!
A very tidy, clean apartment with lots of space for our family of four. Easy to access the apartment & return the key. In a terrific location with an underground station very close by. It also had a nice courtyard with a swing set if you have small children. We had a very enjoyable stay.
Apartment we found as described. Very good service. Very central quiet and safe residential area. Inexpensive! Apartment Features fits the description - very high quality and comfortable. The only drawback are the beds - beautiful and antique - but only conditionally suitable for restful sleep.
Wohnung haben wir wie beschrieben vorgefunden. Sehr guter Service. Sehr zentrale ruhige und sichere Wohnlage. Preiswert! Wohnungsausstattung entspricht der Beschreibung - sehr hochwertig und auch komfortabel. Einziges Manko sind die Betten - wunderschön und antik - zum erholsamen Schlafen allerdings nur bedingt geeignet.
Smooth handling, top apartment. Gladly again
Problemlose Abwicklung, top Appartment. Gerne wieder

Now I maintain old code and do systems admin type work as well. I used to do X(dec,free86) on occasion. I also used to do security, and I tend to be a walking caffeinated unix hardware reference. (Not to mention able to teach C, assembler, packets, exploits, and other fun stuff at a moment's notice provided a whiteboard or some cigarettes...)
The "debugger" I cooked up works for acquiring stack traces out of stuff with memgrep, and parsing/looking up -after- the snapshot has been taken works so far. Two more main things - setting up a dumb script to do snapshots on intervals, and a quick program to find process's children so that those can be debugged quickly.
This inspired by a giant pile of spaghetti code which gdb and other more normal tracing tools run too slowly to be useful.
I cooked this up for one of my clients just now, and I wanted to put it in a public place. Feel free to comment over on my regular weblog.
Basic gdb:
To get gdb to start a program do either: $ gdb binary OR $ gdb <stuff> (gdb) file binary
You'll need to start the program now, with any arguments if it takes them: (gdb) run [arguments]
To run gdb on a core file gives you roughly the same stuff as getting the program to crash while the debugger is running. Run: $ gdb binary corefile
To use gdb to attach to a running process, find the pid of the process you want to debug. Do either: $ gdb binary pid OR $ gdb binary <stuff> (gdb) attach pid
This stops your process, in order to continue it immediately do: (gdb) cont
Otherwise you may want to look at a stack trace of where we are right now, and maybe some of the values of variables.
Stack Traces: (gdb) where OR (gdb) bt
This numbers the stack frame as well, and by default you are at the deepest level.
Printing Variables: (gdb) print myvariable
This works on values within the current scope - by default they are in the deepest frame on the stack, but you can change frame by: (gdb) frame 10
Breakpoints and Stepping:
You can at this point continue the program to get where you want it to go, or you can set up some breakpoints to make the program stop at a specific line. (You can also make the program stop with ctrl-c) (gdb) break foo.c:400 (gdb) cont
You can also step line by line from your current location. 'next' executes the next line, and 'step' executes the next line but steps into the next line if it is a function call. Both take numeric arguments so you can say 'next 10' and it will try to execute the next ten lines. (gdb) next 2 (gdb) step
When a program crashes in the debugger, it will stop in gdb (generally - given we are not set up to operate within a subprocess - which you can look up in the online docs) and you can do any of these commands except executing further.
Anything else and specifics on these commands you can look up by doing 'help' at the gdb prompt (gdb) help
Public service announcement:

I finished up some contract work that got arranged after the first time they decided they didn't want to pay me, and am still having problems getting paychecks.
Technical stuff? what's that?

Since its recognition as a distinctive region in the late 19th century, Appalachia has been a source of enduring myths and distortions regarding the isolation, temperament and behavior of its inhabitants. Early 20th-century writers focused on sensational aspects, such as moonshining and clan feuding, and often portrayed the region's inhabitants as uneducated and prone to impulsive acts of violence.The story as depicted in this collection begins in the colonial era, describing the bloody warfare as migrants from Europe and their American-born offspring fought and eventually displaced Appalachia's Native American inhabitants. It depicts the evolution of a farm- and forest-society, its divided and unhappy fate during the Civil War and the emergence of a new industrial order as railroads, towns and mining industries penetrated into the mountains. Diaries, journals and narratives of explorers, emigrants, military men, Native Americans and travelers are complemented by accounts of the development of farming and mining communities, family histories and folklore.

Fashion Forward on South Beach
The Hotel of South Beach • Miami Beach, FL
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Designer Standard Room
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Five Nights
Getting dressed up for a night on the town is one of the best parts of vacationing in South Beach. And there's no reason your digs won't look as sharp as your duds with this Escape to The Hotel of South Beach.
Built in 1939 and formerly named The Tiffany, The Hotel was completely re-imagined by fashion designer Todd Oldham ahead of its 1998 debut. This AAA Four Diamond Award winner earned a spot on Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List in 2007, among a host of other accolades. "The Hotel of South Beach with rooms designed by Todd Oldham and a spectacular rooftop pool with a new adjacent club, the Spire, attracts a hip fashion-and-media crowd" says The New York Times.
Guest rooms are decked out in vibrant, saturated colors and artisanal details like mosaic door pulls and individually air-brushed bathroom tiles. Thoughtful attention to detail is evident from the lush landscaped lobby right down to each backlit room number—wherever you look, the space is dressed to impress.
Grab a drink at The Hotel's own chic nightspot, the Spire Bar & Lounge. Located behind the historic art-deco Tiffany spire on the rooftop, Spire entices guests with custom cocktails, spectacular views of South Beach, and even better people watching.
When you're in the mood for something more substantial than a slinky-smooth drink, you can snag a table at Wynwood Kitchen & Bar in Miami's Art District. Here, edgy urban art adorns the walls and Latin-inspired small plates fill the menu dreamt up by Chef Miguel Aguilar.
Your South Beach stay should be as sexy as your ensemble, so slip into The Hotel of South Beach. We'll bet it's the perfect fit.
"The aesthetic of soft browns and whites works, thanks to the knowing eye of megadesigner Oldham. The hotel's most exquisite treat is a rooftop bar, a low-key hangout where locals and hotel guests lounge under the neon light of the Tiffany sign."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Hotel of South Beach

Amos Esty
Humans are still evolving, says Nicholas Wade, still adapting to their environment. For years, scientists and social scientists have been wary of research on the evolution of modern humans, worrying that it would be used for malign purposes. But Wade, a science writer for the New York Times, argues that despite the threat of pseudoscientific theories about race and human nature, it's important to study how humans have continued to evolve over the past 50,000 years.
In his new book, Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors (Penguin, 2006), Wade uses recent findings in genetics, archaeology and linguistics to trace the history of Homo sapiens from the small group that took the first steps out of Africa to today's complex societies. He discusses the development of language, the change from nomadic to sedentary societies and other important milestones in our species' history. According to Wade, it only makes sense that humans would have continued to evolve, because they faced different challenges on each continent. American Scientist assistant book review editor Amos Esty spoke with Wade in April 2006.
What interested you in the broad topic of human evolution?
It was in the course of writing up genetics papers, which is what I do at the paper [the New York Times]. Many of them were related to aspects of the human past, and I began to see, firstly, how much of the past other disciplines had managed to cover—more than I was aware of—and, secondly, how genetics seems to be a new thread by which one could make a synthesis of all the information that is out there. That's what I tried to do in the book.
Was it difficult to put all these fields together into one narrative? What did you do when you found conflicting answers in different disciplines?
Well, it was a little difficult to put them all together. But I think in a way that's the most useful thing for a reporter to do, because you'll never know more about a field than the specialists, but you can usually try to cut across fields in a way that the specialists themselves do not usually do. So it seems to be an interesting challenge to try to weave all these seven or eight different fields together and share how much you could extract from the distant human past and show how [modern] humans are a part of the tree of human evolution. I think many people think that there's us and then there's the rest of the world, to which evolution applies. But the new findings make clear how much of our everyday life has its roots in evolutionary processes.
That's one of the main points that you make, that humans didn't stop evolving 50,000 years ago or 10,000 years ago. Why was it accepted for so long that human evolution just sort of stopped thousands of years ago?
That's a very interesting question. I think probably for a number of political reasons. It was just more convenient from many disciplines' point of view to assume that evolution was something they had no need to bother about, so almost all the social sciences—psychology, anthropology—have very little to say about evolution, which is odd if you believe that evolution should be the basic theory of everything to do with human activity.
It wasn't until we sequenced the genome that there was the genetic evidence to force reevaluation of the view that evolution stopped in the distant past. It's only now that you have the actual sequences and can follow the evolution of genes that you can see in one case after another that we have continued to evolve since the dispersal from Africa.
Did you find that in fields such as anthropology and archaeology there is still a lot of resistance to the idea that humans are still evolving?
I think it will begin to fade away, but it's still a bit novel to have incorporated itself into the worldview of these disciplines. For example, it's bizarre, when you think of it, that people who wish to understand psychology in evolutionary terms need to call themselves "evolutionary psychologists." It's as if you have one group of chemists who believe in the table of elements and another that didn't—the first don't have to call themselves Mendeleevian chemists.
A related topic that you talk about is the idea of race and how it is often thought of as just a social construct. You argue against that. Why?
Well, I think the subject of race has been so difficult and so polluted by malign ideas that most people have just left it alone, including geneticists. Geneticists have gone along with the position of the social sciences that race is not a biological concept, which I must say I find very hard to understand.
Geneticists are now beginning to change their minds because there is a good reason to look at the genetics of race, and it comes from medicine. It seems that each race or ethnic group has its own slightly different genetic basis for disease, so you need to know about that to tailor specific drugs for each ethnic group. In the course of looking at such genes and in the course of doing population history, it just becomes very clear that there are genetic differences between races, and particularly in selected genes. Most genetic variation is neutral—it doesn't do anything for or against the phenotype, and evolution ignores it—so most previous attempts to look at race have concluded that there's little difference between races. I think this position is the one on which the social scientists are basing their position.
But those surveys have looked at common variation, which is almost by definition neutral variation. If you look at the genes that do make a difference, selected genes, which are a tiny handful of the whole, you do find a number of differences, not very many, but a number of interesting differences between races as to which genes have been selected. This, of course, makes a lot of sense, because once the human family dispersed from its homeland in Africa, people faced different environments on each continent, different climates, different evolutionary challenges, and each group adapted to its environment in its own way. So it's hardly surprising that some differences would have arisen, and of course we can see the result in the fact that each race looks slightly different from the others.
It seems that the problem might be, as you said, that there is so much historical baggage associated with the term race. Is there a way to get around that? Do we just need a different term than race to talk about these genetic differences?
I'm not sure how that will play out. The geneticists, if you read their papers, have long been using code words. They sort of dropped the term "race" about 1980 or earlier, and instead you see code words like "population" or "population structure." Now that they're able to define race in genetic terms they tend to use other words, like "continental groups" or "continent of origin," which does, indeed, correspond to the everyday conception of race. When I'm writing I prefer to use the word race because that's the word that everyone understands. It's a word with baggage, but it's not necessarily a malign word. It all depends on the context in which it's used, I guess.
You discuss how, even though modern humans were around in Africa by 50,000 years ago, it wasn't until about 15,000 years ago that they began settling down and giving up their nomadic way of life. Why did it take 35,000 years for sedentism to develop?
That's long been one of the paradoxes of archaeology. What I suggest in my book is that a genetic change was required in order to make it possible for people to settle down. Genetic changes take some time to evolve, and just as the earlier big genetic change—the development of language, 50,000 years ago—emerged very recently, I think settling down was the second recent major evolutionary stride. The change, presumably, was to become less aggressive, to be able to settle down in fixed communities, in large enough groups to defend the settlement against other hunters and gatherers.
One piece of evidence comes from paleoanthropology: the thinning of human skulls that seems to have taken place at about the same time. The earlier human skills are very thick, what archaeologists call robust, and then there's a thinning of the skull and the skeleton that takes place between 50,000 to 15,000 years ago. The skulls become more gracile, as if human beings were being domesticated, and this is exactly the sort of change that takes place in the skulls of animals when they're domesticated.
How would that have worked on the ground? It seems that the first human to evolve a thinner skull would, in a nomadic society, have been at an evolutionary disadvantage.
I think it's very hard for us to say at present. We can see the trajectory of human evolution, and with luck we'll be able to pinpoint when each gene changed, but many of these most essential genes may have been involved in our social behavior. Presumably we used to live in rather small tribes, about 150 members, not more, which split up as members became less related to one another, because the basis of their association was kinship. Modern societies have taken a step beyond kinship. Our contemporary societies are far larger, and we live in a world of strangers whom we trust to an amazing degree in many contexts. I assume that change in behavior has a genetic basis, so something has made us more trusting in each other and therefore able to live in larger societies. If some mutation happened that made early people more trusting of each other and able to live in larger societies, that might have given them an advantage over tribes living in smaller numbers.
Has human culture gotten to the point where it supersedes biology to some point?
I think our culture is so strong and vivid that it has blinded us to the evolutionary underpinnings of society.
So, for example, you write that altruism is difficult to explain in evolutionary terms, but you can certainly find examples of it in human society.
Well, altruism is a basic behavior that is required of any social behavior. Presumably we developed altruistic behavior very early in our evolution, as primates, and if you look at the way chimpanzee societies or bonobo societies are organized, they all seem to be following a definite genetic template. So if you argue that there's a set of genes that shape social behavior that the chimps and the bonobos inherit from their ancestors, then we, too, must have inherited a version of that template, and I see no reason why it should have disappeared in present-day society. It has simply adapted as you would expect any other gene to adapt.
Within that template, in my view, must be embedded genes that shape our behavior, our propensities for aggression, religion, trade, conciliation, altruism—and all these forces must still be acting on our behavior. I think archaeologists have maybe done us a disservice by presenting the past as if it were peaceful and the present as if it were very warlike, because they've feared sending the wrong political message if they suggested that anything about our aggressive behavior today was justifiable. But in doing so they sort of blurred the message that we might have evolved considerably in terms of peaceful tendencies since our earliest ancestors.
Along those lines, you write about the major developments that made human society possible, such as trade, language, religion, the rise of the nuclear family. It sounds like you're saying that, in evolutionary terms, the ideal human society would be religious, capitalist, and monolingual, and would promote nuclear families. Should we be taking evolutionary theory into consideration in making policy decisions?
No, I think it's a fallacy to assume that our moral or political principles should be founded on what happens in nature. Many things happen in nature, such as incest or cannibalism, that we abhor. So we shouldn't draw our principles from what happens in nature. We should base our principles on the type of society we wish to live in. But that said, one shouldn't frame those principles in total divorce from evolutionary reality. You could argue that this is where Marxism went wrong—it assumed there was a perfect man, but by ignoring human nature and the desire for property and other things, it created a society that was impossible for people to live in happily.
How do we know when something really is part of "human nature"? Do we have to find genetic evidence?
Certainly genetic evidence is the best possible evidence for saying something is part of human nature, and this is why the subject is so difficult, because we're only just beginning to identify genes that influence behavior in lower animals, and our own behavior is much more complex. So we shouldn't expect the answer to be easy. Very rarely would we expect to find a single gene influencing a single behavior in humans. There's probably a whole set of genes, and it's very difficult for us to identify them. But I think when we do, that will be the best possible evidence for saying which of human behaviors have a genetic component and which do not.
Evolution, of course, doesn't intend to take us anywhere, but you do talk about the idea of evolutionary progress and say, for example, that even if scientific research casts doubt on the idea of humans having free will, we should continue our research or else it would be a "retreat into darkness." So it does sound like you think we might be advancing toward something.
I think if you look back at the sweep of human history, from 20,000 years ago, say, to today, I think most people would say, well, that's certainly progress. It's far better to live in the kind of society we have right now than to be a hunter and gatherer leading a precarious and harsh existence.
So how can one embed that perception of progress into evolutionary theory? Well, as you say, evolution has no goal, and progress is not part of the vocabulary of evolutionary biology. It seems to me that the escape from this dilemma lies in the fact that, firstly, the human genome responds to its environment—and the most important part of one's environment is the human society in which one lives. So people adapt genetically to the type of society they're living in. The best example of that, though it's not a behavioral change, is the development of lactose tolerance among European societies that depended on cattle.
If people respond genetically to society, then it follows that society feeds back into the genome. So if people choose to live in one kind of society rather than another, if they choose a society where conciliators and traders and intellectuals, say, are able to prosper and have more children than warriors do, then you can see how it might be possible in evolutionary terms for a more peaceful society to evolve. So this could be a way in which human choice has fed into the human genome and created a more desirable society over the course of millennia. And that is why it seems to us that there has been a storyline of progress.
Finally, in all the research you did for your book, is there anything that really surprised you?
I guess what surprised me is that, as far as I know, no one had put all these things together before. Some archaeologists, such as Colin Renfrew, have called for a grand synthesis of archaeology, genetics and historical linguistics, but that's sort of a dream that hasn't come to reality.
The other thing is that the more I dug, the more I found was there. It's amazing how much of these 50,000 years, most of which are entirely sort of blank pages, you can start to fill in a few details on.

State installing more medication drop offs
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, in partnership with local law enforcement agencies across the state and the Tennessee Department of Health, announced its plans to introduce 14 new permanent collection bins for Tennessee residents to properly dispose of used or unwanted medication. That brings the total of permanent collection bins to nearly 40 across the state.
Through TDEC's Pharmaceutical Collection Program, the permanent bins offer a safe and easy way to dispose of unwanted medication, while creating opportunities for residents to promote environmental protection and a safer community. National statistics suggest that nearly 90 percent of Americans improperly dispose of outdated or unwanted prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
"This joint effort with local law enforcement agencies and the Department of Health is important to educate citizens on the appropriate disposal of pharmaceuticals, while increasing the number of locations for them to do so," said TDEC Commissioner Bob Martineau.
"We need to make Tennessee's citizens aware that throwing medication away with the household garbage or flushing it is not a safe method of disposal. These additional permanent collection drop-off boxes offer Tennessean's a safe and viable disposal option to keep drugs out of our water and off the streets."
As part of TDEC's new program, which was announced in 2012, permanent collection bin recipients were chosen from applications submitted by local law enforcement agencies, in return for their commitment to secure and monitor the bins.
TDEC also will require a monthly report on the total of pounds collected. A list of counties receiving permanent collection bins include:
Bradley County Dickson County Smith County
Carter County Henderson County Sullivan County
Davidson County Henry County Washington County
Dekalb County Shelby County Williamson County
"We are pleased to partner with TDEC to provide more safe places for disposal of unwanted medications that all too often have been the cause of harm from poisoning to abuse to death," said Department of Health Commissioner John Dreyzehner, MD, MPH. "Through these efforts and the efforts of our sister agency the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, there are now convenient places across our state where average citizens can be a part of the solution to this vexing challenge."
TDEC sponsors both the new permanent collection sites and temporary collection events throughout the year. For communities interested in becoming a permanent drop-off location, please contact Kathy Glapa in TDEC's Office of Sustainable Practices at 615-253-8780

Several years ago, the bandits of The Dust established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who survived were the best gyro pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the people of Pandora call it Gyro Training Camp. The flyers call it: THAT PLACE WE GO TO PLAY VOLLEYBALL.
This is of course a reference to the movie Top Gun.

Ethical Hacking Swag
I've been asked by numerous people to offer up some swag to not only help the site with small donations (and believe me reselling swag doesn't make millions ) and to help promote what we do here. I setup a quick little store through Cafe Press. I've also looked at a couple others. Still deciding which one to choose, but had this as a sample:
Let me know what you think of the name, URL, and the first couple (and very simple) designs.
Although a test, it is a live site. So if you just have to have it now, go for it.
Thanks to all who continue to support our efforts. The products we design will also speak to the professionals that we are and the legitimacy of our industry, and hopefully in a fun way.
Looking forward to your feedback,

The Legal Practice Course (LPC) is the vocational stage of training to be a solicitor that must be taken after completing a law degree or the GDL conversion course. It is a one-year, full-time (or two-year, part-time) course designed to provide a bridge between academic study and training in a law firm. It is both knowledge and skills-based, and it aims to ensure that you are able to do the work of a trainee solicitor under proper supervision when you begin your training contract.
The LPC is practical in nature and the focus is firmly on mastering relevant skills. The emphasis is on workshops, continuous assessment, independent research and group discussions. It also allows you a certain amount of specialisation through a range of optional subjects. You will find that the LPC provides a good practical foundation for your early years of practice at a law firm.
Since 2009, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has allowed course providers to split the LPC in half, separating the compulsory subjects (stage one) from the optional electives (stage two, which students have the option of completing at a later date – even during their training contracts). However, the reality is that most course providers anticipate that the majority of students will opt to take stage two immediately after completing stage one, so full-time students usually complete the LPC in the space of one academic year, before their training contracts commence.
With MyLC.N you can safely store and organise your career research, for free.

In the mezzotint, Spring, Constable and Lucas aimed to capture the dry quality of the paint of Constable's oil sketch of this subject: Spring: East Bergholt Common c.1821 or 1829 . Constable wanted his print to 'give some idea of one of those bright and animated days of the early year, when all nature bears so exhilarating an aspect' (Beckett, Discourses, p. 14), and in the list of contents for English Landscape it was called Spring. East Bergholt Common, Hail Squalls. – Noon.
In his text for the plate Constable referred to the range of colour of spring foliage and the importance of clouds in forecasting weather. He noted that:
the clouds accumulate in very large and dense masses, and from their loftiness seem to move but slowly; immediately upon these large clouds appear numerous opaque patches, which, however, are only small clouds passing rapidly before them … These floating much nearer the earth, may perhaps fall in with a much stronger current of wind, which as well as their comparative lightness, causes them to move with greater rapidity (ibid., pp. 14–15).
Lucas had probably begun work on this plate by September 1829 (Beckett IV, p. 322). He made many changes to the plate, making at least eight progress proof variations during the process, before producing the published state.

64-bit vs 32-bit FAQ
- Live Versions: 8.4 - 9
- Operating System: All
Which version does Ableton recommend?
We recommend using the 64-bit version of Live on machines with a 64-bit operating system and more than 4GB installed memory. On machines with 4GB memory or less, or on machines with a 32-bit operating system we recommend using the 32-bit version of Live.
What is the difference between the 32-bit version of Live and the 64-bit version?
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to how much of your computer's memory (RAM) can be used by applications. The 32-bit version of Live (like all 32-bit applications) can use up to 4GB of RAM, which means that it may not be possible to use very large sample collections or very memory-hungry plug-ins.
In contrast, the 64-bit version of Live can use a theoretical maximum of 16 exabytes of RAM - much more RAM than computers actually have. This means you can work with Live Sets (natively, with third-party plug-ins, and in ReWire configurations) that are much larger and more memory-intensive than in the 32-bit version.
There are no further technical advantages of a 64-bit version of Live.
I have a 64-bit operating system, so I need to run the 64-bit version of Live, right?
Not necessarily. Current 64-bit versions of Windows and Mac OS X support 32-bit applications.
But a 64-bit version of Live has a better system integration and therefore performs better than a 32-bit version on my 64-bit operating system, right?
Not necessarily. There are no differences in the CPU handling between the 32-bit and the 64-bit version.
The main advantage to be gained from the 64-bit version is the ability to address additional RAM.
Does it make sense to run the 64-bit version when I have 4GB or less RAM installed on my machine?
No. The advantage of the 64-bit version is that it can address more than 4GB of memory.
What are the system requirements for the 64-bit version of Live?
You can use the 64-bit version of Live if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 on a PC, or Mac OS 10.5 or higher on an Intel-based Mac. A minimum of 8GB RAM is recommended.
Can I install the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Live at the same time?
It is possible and there are no technical issues to be expected by having different Live versions installed at the same time, but to keep things simple, we don't recommend such a setup. Please note that you will need to manually rename the application after the first installation (Mac) or choose a different installation folder (PC).
Can Ableton Live 64-bit load 32-bit plug-ins?
In short, no. A 64-bit host can only handle 64-bit plug-ins.
This said however, it's possible to "bridge" a 32-bit plug-in with a third party tool (such as jBridge or 32 Lives). In this case the bridge runs as an application between the plug-in and the host as kind of a translator. This makes the plug-in compatible with 64-bit hosts.
It is to be expected that a plug-in translated in this manner will never run as dependably as a 32-bit plug-in in a 32-bit host or a true 64-bit plug-in in a 64-bit host.
- Tutorial: How to use jBridge on Windows?
- Tutorial: How to use jBridge on Mac?
Is Ableton developing their own 64-32-bit plug-in bridge?
No. There are no plans to implement our own 64-32-bit plug-in bridge.
Can I use ReWire with the 64-bit version of Live?
Yes, ReWire (with Live as either master or slave) works properly, but can only be used when ReWired to another application that is also 64-bit.
What are the limitations of the 64-bit version of Live?
The 64-bit version of Live 8 will not support Max for Live or The Bridge. However, the 64-bit version of Live 9 does support Max for Live.
Please find info on the 64-bit version of Max 6 to be used with Live 9 here.
When using the 64-bit version of Live, it is not possible to use Serato Scratch Live for real-time control of your Ableton Live Set. Sets cannot be loaded or synced to a deck in Scratch Live, and Live's clips and tracks will not appear in Scratch Live.
Serato mixes saved in .als (Ableton Live Set) format can still be opened in the 64-bit version of Live and will work as expected.
Will my old Live Sets, Live Clips, and device presets still work in the 64-bit version of Live?
Live documents made in 32-bit versions of Live will work properly in the 64-bit version of Live, and vice versa. If the Live Sets use features which are not available in the 64-bit version, those features will be limited or disabled as described below:
- Max for Live - in a 64-bit version of Live 8, the Live document will load and play, but the Max devices will behave as if they were bypassed. In 64-bit versions of Live 9, Max for Live is fully supported.
- Plug-ins - Live documents that were created using 32-bit versions of plug-ins will work normally, but only if 64-bit versions of the same plug-ins are installed.
Does the 64-bit version sound better or different than the 32-bit version?
No. There's no difference in the resolution in Live's internal processing between the 32- and the 64-bit version.
Does the 64-bit version of Live support video?

|Well, after replacing the touch panel and control board a year or so ago, and having them go bad again last week.... combined with all the other problems I've had with this thing.... I decided it was time to send the bastard back to hell where it came from.
It was full of water, and I thought the best way to fix that was to first push it over. Then, back on it's feet, and a nice 20 minute visit with Dr. 2x4 was all that was needed to fix this machine permanently. Insulated myself, plugged her in, hit start.
The circuit board sparked and smoked nicely. I was also rewarded with one final beep from the end of cycle signal.
The motor and various other mechanical components made some very nice sounds in their final death throes.
Overall, a very satisfying experience.
I gave the corpse to a guy who tinkers with washers, he wanted the wash tub.
NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A KENMORE OR WHIRLPOOL APPLIANCE. And this isn't just cause of the crappy design, or my irritation at myself for buying an electronic model.
Mostly it's because Sears doesn't stand behind their products, and they apparantly outsource thier repair services to 16 year old mental defectives.

|Ouch! Why did you do that to the poor washer?
Your first mistake was buying a washer with all electronic touch controls. Couldn't you find one with a normal timer dial that you turn by hand?
Third, these washers are the most reliable washer in the industry. I never, ever , ever want to see somebody do that destruction to the most reliable washer in the industry.
I can understand that if you did that to a Maytag Neptune front load washer, but never to a top loading Whirlpool.

|Ouch! Why did you do that to the poor washer?
Poor washer? HA! This thing has been nothing but trouble since I bought it. Go ahead, search the forum for the model #, see if you can count the number of problems I've had with it. Most I could work through, some taught me a considerable amount about washing machine repair (which, to the members of this forum, I offer my everlasting thanks)..... NONE of them should have happened to a washer less than 5 years old.
I'm not even going to talk about the number of people in the U.S. who had the same problems with this model as me. This wasn't a 'poor' washer. It was the spawn of Satan.
Actually, I take that back. It was a poor washer. a VERY POOR washer.
Your first mistake was buying a washer with all electronic touch controls. Couldn't you find one with a normal timer dial that you turn by hand?
No, my first mistake was assuming that there are qualified engineers at Whirlpool, and my second mistake was assuming Smears would stand behind it. Turns out these were both very bad assumptions. If it's my preference to push buttons, and I find the general appearance of digital controls appealing, then that's both my choice and my mistake. I can live with that. I've a Kitchen aid dishwasher with digital controls, and never have I had a problem with the electronics. I think the engineers there understand that electronic components, in the vicinity of heat, cold, and steam, as well as the type of load an AC motor creates (a very brutal environment, indeed) ... and engineered for these things.
I also tend to think that they perhaps tested their product before they threw it on the market.
I'll never forget the first service call on this thing (spins, won't agitate, unless you rap the control panel). Some nose picking high school dropout shows up, Takes the cover off, runs through the diagnostics on the checklist INCLUDED WITH the washer, scratches his empty head, and then spends 45 minutes on the phone with someone back at repair central. They couldn't offer any suggestions either. His conclusion? The motor was bad, and he didn't have one on his truck. Two problems here:
1) Seems like a motor would be something you'd want to carry on your truck. I understand you can't carry every motor for every washer on your truck... but they had the symptoms, and the model, before they showed up. Common sense says maybe the motor is bad, maybe I should put one on the truck for this call.
2) How dumb do you have to be to think the motor is bad when it spins? He was a parts changing monkey, and a very stupid one at that. I told him where to put his service call fee, politely, but forcefully told him to leave my abode, pulled the control board myself, and then fixed a cold solder joint, which was the problem.
Oh yeah..... I didn't buy the extended warranty. The terms of the standard warranty stated major mechanical components were covered for some amount of time, which I don't remember what it was... but my washer was well below the limit. Guess what? A motor isn't a major mechanical component, and isn't covered under the standard warranty. For that matter "Sears Service" isn't even owned by Sears. They outsource to the lowest bidder. I Tried to call Sears to explain and complain. Their response?
"Sorry, service isn't under our control, and there is nothing we can do to change their policies".
Finally, I consider myself to be one of the best people around with respect to my admiration for appliance service people. I usually ask if they mind if I watch while they work - NOT to see if I'm being ripped off, but to learn. If they seem the least bit uncomfortable with it, I go watch TV till they are done. Otherwise, I keep my mouth shut and watch, offer a beer or soda, and if I'm really curious.... then I'll ask maybe one or two questions.
I can't tell you how many people I've chewed out when they say something like "He was only here 10 minutes, and my bill was $250! I got ripped off!". No, ass, you didn't. You paid $250 BECAUSE it only took 10 minutes, because you got a tech who knew his stuff, and didn't spend 3 hours guessing. A good appliance repair person learns through experience - and they deserve to be compensated for it.
Third, these washers are the most reliable washer in the industry.
Then I'd really hate to see the worst ones. Perhaps Calypso... made by.... um.. who was that again?
I never, ever , ever want to see somebody do that destruction to the most reliable washer in the industry.
Go look in Ebay & Craigslist. I think you'll be surprised at the number of people who can't give these things away, because of the electronics. I'm half tempted to buy one for .50 and do the same thing again. I'll send ya pics if I do.
I can understand that if you did that to a Maytag Neptune front load washer, but never to a top loading Whirlpool.
Well, there are some things some of us can never understand. For instance, I'll never understand why there wasn't a recall on this model. Oh wait. Yes I can. Sears sucks.
I'll never buy another Whirlpool, and I haven't, and will continue to not, step foot in Sears/Kmart. Whenever talking to people who are in the market for a new W/D, I advise the same.
I'm not trying to turn this into a flame war. I appreciate the sublime intelligence of the Samurai, and would never start a fight in his dojo.
Having said that, you couldn't possibly be more wrong, with respect to this model, anyway.

|Dr.Pep.......I feel your pain.......as I have had quite a few of these over the years......the Whirlpool Direct Drive machine (which you have) is the best top load machine ever built/ last forever and when they do break down they are easy to fix (couplers,pumps,lid switches, clutches) ......the problem I have found with the machine you had is the electronic controls (dryers included) no-where near the problems with the reg. timer machines....(but it is your money and you can spend it anyway you see fit, and besides the electronic controles do look cool)
dealing with the Big S.... though is a nightmare....after they get your hard earned moolah they could care less and it's going to get worse....we are in a small market area but have 2 Se.rs stores in a 30 mile radius, and I encounter people every week who say they will never purchase from them again because of the way they were treated when needing repair (like having refrigerator down and having to wait 7-10 days- which is absurd)
thing is if it is built by human mands/robot arms for that matter and has working parts in it it will tear up eventually, no matter what the brand.........the best we can hope for is to re-search and buy what has the most proven track record, and as far as top-load washers go you had it (minus the controls).....if looking for a new machine other than a Whirlpool, the Staber that Samurai speaks of often seems to be pretty simple and bullet proof....I have no experience with them but I've read good things on them

|Poobah -
Thanks... couldn't agree more. At the time I bought it, I had wads of cash, and thought (foolishly) that top $ meant best quality. I'll agree that the mechanical portions of this machine did seem quite well built.... but from what I can tell, the design really isn't that much different from ones being built for years. So easy to get the motor out, etc, so I'll gladly conceed that point.
I'll look into the brand you mentioned. I'm trying to offload the elite dryer on ebay now, but I doubt it will sell. I'll probably give it to a charity or something.
Thanks again -

Fine work!.... Bravo!
That machine was a Catalyst model, and they do truly suck. I think it's as bad a washer as the Calypso was, maybe worse.
It was a total piece of trash. They rust, leak, vibrate, tear up clutches and drive blocks, tear hoses, dispenser failures, and motor failures. And, you know about the control issues.
Plus, they had the dumbest combination of diagnostics and tech sheet. They had these "dance key" sequences for on-board diagnostics. It was a total joke to work with.
Everyone of these stinkers deserves to get the treatment you gave yours.
Whirlpool should have to take them all back and issue a refund and apology.
You should set it on fire in Whirlpools front yard.

|Well, I did what I said I wouldn't do, and a Whirlpool W/D are on the way. I don't have the money for a new set, so I had to go to rent a center.
Not too terrible a bad deal, depending on how I manage it. Basically if I pay it off within 90 days I get the set for about $200 over retail. If on the other hand I make every payment ($78/mo); I'll pay $2045 for around a $600 set. But I can send em back anytime I want, and any repairs are covered.
Borrowing the money to go buy a set isn't an option..... I just threw a rod in my engine, and was pot committed on that car (Just spent $1500 on it 2 weeks before)...so I had to throw another 2K into it. Anyway I'm broke.
The models are:
Washer: WTW5100SQ
Dryer: WED5300SQ
Going to rent a center is never a good idea, but I don't know any appliance dealers around here that I trust enough to buy reconditioned from. AT least I didn't have to go to Sears.
Anyway I'm sure these are the low of the low end W/D, so any suggestions on wether or not y'all think I should buy 'em, or just rent until I can save the $ to buy a different set outright, please let me know. I can't find any user reviews on the google.

|I think whirlpool is the best also here, now my w\d are Ropers which are a whirlpool brand. Now i have 5 kids and one on the way now, the set is 12 years old and never have i fixed anything on them, not even the coupler. And let me tell you my wife umm, well lets just say she likes to get the most out of here wash. They are pretty inexpensive. The washer is $250 and the Dryer is $200 at lowes...you can get the set on sale for 4th of july for $399.99 with a lowes card and not pay intrest or payments for 12 months...(wow that sounded like a comercial...)

text: Every time I watch nfl networks top ten lists there's always stuff about Joe Montanna, Jerry Rice, Brett Favre, or Barry sanders. Montanna even has his own top ten list. I feel like LT gets disrespected a lot. The giants of the 80s are only number 3 in LB corps. LT is number 3 in best pass rushers and most feared tackler. I get that there are other other great players but this guy is the G.O.A.T. Yet they won't even put him at number 1 on these lists. They had LT at number 3 in the 100 greatest players ever but that's basically the only way you'd know that the network actually cares what LT did. Barry sanders is 1 on pretty much all of their lists that would include him in their category. **** Butkus hurt people but that's about all he did. Deacon Jones got sacks but he didn't really change the position like say JJ Watt or Reggie white. I just feel like if your the G.O.A.T they'd put him 1 on something
