The Promise of Cryotherapy in Prostate Cancer
The Promise of Cryotherapy in Prostate Cancer
This is an expertly written summary of the experience with cryotherapy as primary treatment of prostate cancer and the rationale for proceeding toward more limited, organ-sparing approaches with this procedure as focal treatment for low-risk cancers. Growing evidence of overdetection and overtreatment in many men with low-risk tumors has resulted in the recognition that alternatives to conventional treatment strategies are needed. Observation, a laudable and appropriate approach, appeals to relatively few patients.
Focal therapy is conceptually an attractive option that may offer effective ablation of the detected cancer with diminished side effects, relative to radiation or surgery. A number of technologies with the potential to achieve these goals are available or under development, each with advantages for use in this setting. Thermal tissue ablative modalities include high-intensity focused ultrasound, cryotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation. Nonthermal approaches include photodynamic therapy and electroporation. While all these techniques may be effective, comparison of their side effects and limitations will prove difficult outside of well-defined clinical trials with clear criteria for patient selection and definition of endpoints.
Pretreatment Assessment
Accurate pretreatment assessment of tumor location and extent is necessary to confirm that subtotal gland treatment does not result in subtotal tumor treatment. It is not clear who should be treated with focal treatment and how they can be identified. As referenced in the current paper, retrospective studies of radical prostatectomy specimens have identified roughly 15% to 20% of men who have unilateral or unifocal tumors amenable to focal treatment.
Unfortunately, standard-template transrectal biopsy techniques, developed to diagnose cancer, perform poorly in accurately staging or localizing all sites of tumor. As confirmed by Barzell and others, 50% or more of suspected low-volume tumors will be discovered as either bilateral or with higher volume or grade when repeat prostate biopsy is performed using transperineal stereotactic mapping biopsy.[1] At present, this biopsy approach appears to represent the best means by which to evaluate each individual who might be considered for a clinical trial in an experimental treatment with focal therapy.
Appropriate Endpoints
Similarly, posttreatment endpoints remain to be defined. As focal cryoablation remains a new experimental treatment, evaluation should include repeat biopsy data in all subjects to confirm adequate tumor eradication at the site of treatment as well as the absence of progressive disease at other regions within the gland. Discrepant results will be expected, requiring means of interpreting outcomes when cancer is found outside the treatment zone.
The use of prostate-specific antigen dynamic changes such as the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) or Phoenix criteria, devised for total gland treatment using radiation, are not validated for use with focal treatment, and their application in that setting is unjustified. Repeat biopsy at 3 to 6 months following treatment would be an appropriate interval, based on prior studies of cryobiology. Urine sediment studies such as PCA3 may also prove useful but require validation. Standards with criteria for functional and quality-of-life assessment, adverse events, and cost need to be addressed along with other related details.
Focal therapy holds great promise for the future of prostate cancer care if it is applied appropriately. As trials are designed to assess these techniques, it is imperative that the urologic community work together to ensure that patients are appropriately selected, adequately treated, and undergo confirmatory posttreatment evaluation of outcomes. This is particularly critical in men with favorable tumor features, where an experimental therapy could adversely affect curability with more conventional therapies.

Yet, in the article there are headers being put on?I'm all for do-it-yourself budget builds, tech and feature trucks.Mr. Rizzo has done some awesome budget tech articles in the past that are usually easily duplicated by the average builder in a moderately equipped home garage.Please do more tech articles Jim!Grant's builds were a little more ambitious and a lot more interesting, I miss his highly detailed tech articles and fab skills. Even if he did screw up, he showed how to fix it.Something I've never seen in any other publication.I feel that I learned from his articles, I think he was pushing himself to become a better fabricator/contributor and we, the readers, benefitted greatly.Thank god for Ron Covell. That shining light at the end of the magazine.I realize there are all types of readers, at all different skill sets. (Perhaps there are others that share my opinion).I also know that there are schedules and deadlines that will always interfere with producing your best work.The May issue was like reading that other truck magazine.I've come to expect better from CT.

Financial news channel CNBC's effort to make the world of business more, well, rock'n'roll has taken a new twist as it plans to run an in-depth interview with Jon Bon Jovi of the eponymous Eighties rock band, famed for Living On A Prayer.
The shaggy-haired singer, who is interviewed by CNBC regular Tania Bryer, has made a name for himself recently with an attack on Apple and its iTunes music service. He argued it was damaging for iTunes to sell individual songs as it upset the integrity of a full-length studio album. "A work of art needs to be presented as a work of art," he says.
"I spend six, eight or 10 months in a recording studio slaving over snare drum sounds or every background vocal being perfect and for what?"
Bon Jovi has also set up the Soul Foundation, now in its fifth year, a philanthropic organisation which supports housing and cheap quality food. "We're creating jobs, we're creating volunteers," he says, showing Bryer around his Soul Kitchen restaurant. "That's where I wash dishes," he jokes. "The most famous dish-washer in America, that's me." The full interview is broadcast on CNBC tomorrow at 10pm.
Barrow's old house: Row rumbles on
Colin Barrow may have resigned from Westminster Council over his parking proposals fiasco, which wasted about £300,000 of taxpayers' money, but his financial legacy goes on.
Estates Gazette reports that the Bank of Scotland is suing property consultants DTZ, claiming that their negligence cost it more
than £1 million on a Grade II* listed Suffolk country house once owned by Barrow and one of his former partners.
The Bank loaned the pair more than £2.7 million towards the £3.6 million purchase of Darsham House in 2006, but was only able to sell it for £2.3 million in 2010 after it was repossessed. The bank alleges that DTZ was not reasonably competent when it valued the home at £3.5 million in February 2006 and reported that refurbishment works under way would increase the value to almost £3.8 million.
It claims it should have been obvious to the valuer that the "refurbishment" works were in breach of listed building consents and would seriously erode the house's character.
In 2008, the local authority issued an order preventing use of the property for residential purposes as a result of the breaches of listed buildings consent.
A year later, an attempt to prosecute Barrow over the refurbishment works failed, but the property was repossessed over mortgage arrears.
*Gemstone CDO V Ltd files a stock market announcement, headed "Summery Report". Do we get to see Springy, Autumny and Wintry too?
*The tabloid critics who used to dismiss Peter Bazalgette as the broadcasting chief responsible for dragging British television into the gutter with reality show Big Brother have got him all wrong.
Recently knighted Sir Peter is now chairman of the English National Opera and is evidently relishing the role.
"I've just been to the Coliseum for the wonderful revival of Puccini's Madame Butterly," he tells friends.
Everyone knows opera is one of the best ways that City folk like to network. As well as Baz, the ENO board includes Espirito Santo investment bank chairman Anthony Fry, top headhunter Ffion Hague (wife of Foreign Secretary William), former PricewaterhouseCooper vice-chairman Glyn Barker and Kate O'Neill, managing director of investor relations at Lloyds Banking Group. Fun times!
*An old timer from the pub trade laments the rise and rise of the gastro pub: "In the old days we took the view that we could sell them lager in a pigsty. We have to spruce the place up a bit these days."

I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 2.5 years. The only time I've ever missed meat is when I'm pregnant, which I am right now. So far I've been able to remind myself of all the reasons I don't eat meat, and it wasn't bothering me too badly, but all of a sudden I really miss meat. We live in an area where "happy" meat is easy to come by, and the other day DH bought a fresh chicken at a farm and I'm coming up short on reasons not to have some, lol. I keep hoping the meat cravings will pass, because by this time in my last pregnancy they were gone, but so far, no luck. I've doubled the number of eggs we're buying, tried increasing protein and iron in case the cravings stem from a deficiency, even bought some Boca "sausage", but the option of local, organic, free-range meat is still haunting me.
So my question is, when the meat comes from animals that lived decent lives, were afforded as dignified a death as possible, and have not been fed hormones/antibiotics/other yuckies, why do you still say no?
Mom to DD (5/07), DS1 (02/10) and DS2 (11/11) !
I have had cravings for meat too when I'm pregnant and/or breastfeeding. I liked the smell of stew when I went over to my parents' house. Sometimes I even dreamed about it.
However, I still always say no for two reasons:
1. I believe that it is wrong to take away another creature's agency. It is wrong to control another being's choice of where to live, when to have babies, what to eat. In my opinion, it is wrong to force another animal to have babies and to take away the babies after they are born. I think it is wrong to "harvest" another creature when it is time to eat it with no fair hunt or fight.
2. The whole idea that somehow "grassfed" cows and freerange chickens are environmentally sound options for meat eaters is incorrect.
Unless you live somewhere grass grows year round, cows are not grassfed in the winter. They are fed alfalfa and dried grass which must be raised in fields during the summer. This uses a HUGE amount of water. In my backyard, a big river flows during the months when alfalfa can't grow. When the alfalfa fields are being irrigated in the summer and fall, the river completely dries up, taking with it lots of wildlife - frogs, fish, insects, birds...
Additionally, the grassfed cows wreak havoc on the water supply. They both consume large amounts of this scarce resource and they pollute it with their bodily wastes. I like to take my kids swimming in the little streams in the mountains near our house during the summer. It is very hard to find one that is not clogged and stinking of manure from these creatures. They compact the ground with their hooves. Plants cannot grow where there are many cows. It's sad to see what once must have been beautiful meadows on public land, now made into manure soaked, compacted ground.
Freerange chickens may be a little better environmentally than the cows; they use less water and food. However, like farmed salmon, they can pass diseases to thier wild cousins. They also can act as a vector for wild bird diseases that are then passed to humans. Flocks of chickens need to be carefully managed to avoid these problems. The example of a freerange chicken flock I have witnessed consisted of closely packed, stressed birds living in not so clean conditions. They were very close to ducks who were in contact with other wild waterfowl. Poor plan, I think.
Anyway, that's why I don't eat farmed meat. I don't eat other meat just because I don't need to. When I have a craving for meat I just remind myself that it's healthier not to eat it anyway.
Free-range chickens are usually raised in groups far too large to establish a pecking order, and they go crazy. I've seen this used as a pro-battery cage argument, but it argues for vegetarianism even better.
Because the chicken doesn't/didn't want to be eaten.
Created an instant family (7/89 and 5/91) in 1997. Made a baby boy 12/05 adopted a baby girl 8/08. Ask me about tandem adoptive nursing and living as gluten, dairy, and cane sugar free vegetarians. Homeschooling and loving it.
When you became a vegetarian all of those meat options were available to you, so there had to be a reason you decided not to eat it then. What has changed, besides having a craving?
Thanks for everyone's opinions. The impulse has passed, as I knew it would, it just got me to thinking. We lived in a different state when I stopped eating meat, and free-range meat wasn't as readily available (and we were flat broke), so it was never an option that I truly considered, if that makes sense. When I had to choose between factory farmed meat and vegetarianism, it was an obvious choice. Where we are now, though, a lot of my friends order meat from small, local farms, and the conditions at the farms I've seen are nothing compared to what was described above. Small herds/flocks of healthy, happy-looking animals. It just got me to thinking that, really, except for the last couple of minutes, these animals have pretty good lives. That last couple of minutes is a bit of an issue for me still, though.
Also, I've always kind of thought that any demand on even the free-range, local, organic meat industry is still demand for meat, in general, and in some small way has a trickle-down effect and puts demand on the industrial meat industry. As in, if I buy this chicken from the farmer, down the road somewhere there will be a person who goes to the grocery store and buys their meat there because the farmer was out this week.
(Hormones do funny things. I can't wait for this part of pregnancy to pass....)
Mom to DD (5/07), DS1 (02/10) and DS2 (11/11) !

Wow sweet pics man. I like the rsx too, it is almost the exact same color
What kind of camera are you shooting with?
Compositions aren't bad, but they're underexposed and need some more saturation in my opinion. A circular polarizer would be real helpful too.

im using a panasonic fz7. im still learning. i got this camera a few weeks ago, and plus it was a really cloudy day. thanks for the critque i appreciate it
+1 It looks like your camera tried metering the sky as a mid-tone and underexposed everything else. You could try bracketing your shots and maybe doing an HDR stitch with Photoshop CS2. Or maybe get a set of graduated or split neutral density filters to help with the exposure on days like that.Originally Posted by Verdugo
Turtles are nature's suction cups.
i think you should take the dealership plates off and use a longer lens for some of the shots. It compresses the picture and adds an element of layering thats pleasing to the eye

More 12v Troubles and ?'s
I am currently working on my '83 Mac 25's wiring system. I have never really understood what I was looking at till I purchased The 12 Volt Bible for Boats by Miner Brotherton revised by Ed Sherman (second edition), which really helped me understand the electrics on my small boat.
The running lights have never worked since I have had the boat and currently dont still after fiddling with them today. My FM/CD player was hooked up straight to the battery so I rewired it to my control panel(this was the first thing that I have done correctly in my vast trials with electricity).
My wiring system (I think) is not normal. The + and - coming off of the battery run directly to an approximatly 4x12 peice of thick plexiglass with 2 narrow copper sheets running parrell down it lengthwise (one is for + and one for -). This has about 4 seperate + and - studs on it for various items. From one of them is wire leading to my control panel. Also off of it are wires leading to my bilge switch and bilge, and my VHF radio. I dont think this is a good thing but I am not sure. Do my bilge and radio need to be ran to my control panel? If anyhting what is so bad about my switch and fusesless plexiglass control panel?
The main panel works and I wired my FM/CD to it today and it works well. I have a total of four ummmm... switches? to wire different applications too. BUT there is only a place for ONE ground????? I dont get it, shouldnt it have 4 different places to ground things?????? A freind and home electrician told me to splice wires together and ground all the applications on the one ground. Is this correct?
On my control panel, the ground is a copper strip with a ground wire attached that runs to the - point on my battery. I guess that being so then everything that I ground (on the panel and the plexiglass panel) is then grounded to my battery. Is this alright? Should I make a ground that is on my swing keel winch or something?
Do I need a master battery switch for only one battery? My assumption is that the master switch is only there to eliminate anything that may use the battery even when it is not turned on. For example, a VCR still draws a little power when switched off for the clock. Is this needed?
I have a good freind who is an home electrician by trade and good at what he does but I am not sure what he knows about boats. (he is the one that wired up my FM/CD to the battery) I knew that wasnt good but it worked at the time.
Sorry its long but I worte down these questions today as I was working. Thanks for all replies!!!!!!
As for the bilge pump, having that hard wired isn't necessarily a bad thing... but I don't see why you'd have the VHF wired directly to the battery.
As for the switch, are you talking about the big rotary battery switch? Also, can you post a photo of the plexiglass control panel, since that could describe a lot of different things. BTW, the photo posting on sailnet basically blows chunks. Get yourself a photobucket account and post the photos to that, and then link to them using the http://www.sailnet.com/forums/images...nsertimage.gif icon.
1) You have to use marine-grade tinned stranded wire
2) All connections should be made using marine-grade tinned crimp connectors
3) Any terminal connections should be captive type terminals—preferably ring terminals
4) Solid wire and wire nuts have no place on a boat
5) All circuits, with the possible exception of a bilge pump must be on a breaker, and the breaker should be of smaller current rating that the wiring attached to it
6) The wiring should be supported every 18" at a minimum, if it is not running inside a conduit to prevent work hardening of the wiring
7) Most of the marine 12 VDC wiring is much heavier in gauge than the 110 VAC home wiring due to higher amperage requirements
If you don't have two batteries aboard, it might be wise to get a Blue Sea Dual Circuit Plus Battery Switch with ACR and a second battery to use as a dedicated starting bank.
If you need a circuit breaker panel, you could get this, or get a fused switch panel, like this.
Hope this helps.
Thanks SD for the great and lengthy reply.
No, the wire I am using is standard outdoor wire, I have asked ferinds about marine wire and they have never heard of such a thing. Where would I go about finding some? It is stranded though.
Have plenty of battery and take care of them. Running out of battery out in the middle of the water is not fun. Particularly if it's nighttime.
All of these are good answers. Regarding the pump and radio... if you're talking about an entertainment radio, it should be switched too, with the exception of the memory connection as has been mentioned. In either case, direct connect or not, you MUST have overcurrent protection (fuse or cb) on anything connecting to the battery. A lot of people connect their bilge pump to the batteries directly..sometimes to both batteries through diodes so as not to cause one battery to discharge the other..somewhat like the charging 'isolator'. The pump must be fused however you do it. Interestingly, the only thing that doesn't have to have overcurrent protection is the starter motor itself.

Ok, this is my "fuse panel" with the copper strips for the hot and ground wires to be attached too. I am not sure but it may be plated of covered with something else.
This is my "plesiglass panel" as you can see. The two on the right are coming from my battery and the others go to my fuse/ bilge pump/ VHF.
The wiring in the boat may be the original wiring for all I know but is it some sort of "lampcord" looking wire. With the earth and hot wires connected together with the rubber coating.
Originally posted by SEMIJim: (not sure how to do that correctly)
Thanks Yall, what great help!
Most stereos that require a memory or clock maintenance lead, will have a separate lead with a very small, usually 1 amp, fuse for it. This should be connected directly to the battery for the reasons stated above... but the radio's power lead, with a much larger fuse, should be switched and overload protected in some way.
As for bonding... bonding them to each other can be a good sign, but it often isn't necessary or wise to do so. Galvanically isolated metal throughhulls may not benefit from bonding. It really depends on the specific boat setup.
BTW, the copper on those bars looks like it is starting to corrode. I am willing to bet if you were to put the leads off an ohmmeter on them, it would register some resistance, rather than pure short due to the oxidation on the surface.
The bigger problem is some of those lousy termination crimps and some of the wire.

First of all is this a photo you would share with the world, and second, when is it not appropriate to be naked as an adult with a child? The kid is a toddler but I am wondering why an aunt needs to be naked with him? And then post it? Doe she shower with him to? Is family nudity always ok? Are we too prudish as a society?

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
As if Tom Brady hasn't had a hard-enough start to the month after losing the Super Bowl this past Sunday…he now has to deal with the fact that his little sister Julie is marrying a hot-head with a weird last name, also known as Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis.
Boy, Thanksgiving is going to be very interesting at the Brady household!
According to the Herald's Inside Track, Youk popped the question recently.
Youk and Julie spent Super Bowl week together, and have been dating for more than a year. While no one spotted Youk all week, the slugger was actually in Brady's family luxury box for the game.
Julie already has a 5-year-old daughter, and the two will be moving in with Youk on the West Coast before Spring Training.
They will likely marry somewhere on the West Coast in the offseason.

Addressing Long-Term Recovery From Irene
12/08/11 7:34AM By Susan Keese
| Download MP3
(Host) Two of Vermont's most storm-damaged communities, Waterbury and the Wilmington-Dover area, have been picked for a special FEMA program.
The program aims to help devastated communities envision their futures and bring those visions about.
VPR's Susan Keese visited the program's local kick-off this week in the Mount Snow Region, and has this report.
(Keese) The Federal Emergency Management Agency's long term Community Recovery Program got its start shortly before Hurricane Katrina. Since then it's gotten a workout in disasters around the country.
FEMA's Steve Wade, the program's manager in Vermont, says it's about long-term community recovery rather than individual needs.
(Wade) "We're about the needs of the community and rebuilding based on the community's vision, from 18 months to a kind of ten year time frame."
(Keese) Wade says sites were chosen based on the severity of damage and the communities' ability to marshal resources for recovery.
Waterbury lost nearly 200 buildings in the August floods. And Wilmington lost much of its business district.
Wade says the effort pulls in broad expertise to help communities re-think their future after a disaster.
(Wade) "We have team members from across the U.S. and they have various different areas of specialization. We have housing people, we have economic development we have engineers we have architects, we have graphics design people."
(Keese) Ultimately, he says, the projects people come up with are unique to each town. Communities have worked on highways, schools, community centers. One hurricane-prone Texas town used the process to develop a water park to enhance tourism.
The program doesn't offer grants, but Wade says the FEMA team helps identify funding sources that can help, once a community begins to define what it wants.
Waterbury had its first brainstorming session last week.
This week's kickoff event in the Wilmington-Dover area focused on economic development. The two towns produced a joint economic plan in 2009.
(Colvin) "And we're going to look at that 2009 report and see if in fact there's anything that's changed as a result of the flood."
Bill Colvin is an economic development adviser to the two towns.
(Colvin) "Are the priorities we identified in 2009 still the priorities? Are there new ones?"
(Keese) Colvin says the process is just beginning. But if everyone gets involved he says it could be a way to turn a disaster into an opportunity.
For VPR News, I'm Susan Keese.

U.S. chides UNESCO for putting Jewish exhibit on hold
By Louis Charbonneau
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States on Friday criticized UNESCO, the U.N.'s cultural arm, for postponing an exhibition about Jews and the Holy Land due to complaints from Arab member states.
The U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, based in Paris, issued a statement saying it would hold off on the exhibition, which was to be called "People, Book, Land -- The 3,500 Year Relationship of the Jewish People to the Holy Land," because of concerns that some aspects "might be perceived by member states as endangering the peace process."
The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, urged UNESCO to rethink the decision on the exhibition, which UNESCO was organizing in cooperation with the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
"UNESCO's decision is wrong and should be reversed," she said in a statement. "The United States has engaged at senior levels to urge UNESCO to allow this exhibit to proceed as soon as possible."
"UNESCO is supposed to be fostering discussion and interaction between civil society and member states, and organizations such as the Wiesenthal Center have a right to be heard and to contribute to UNESCO's mission," Power said.
UNESCO said its secretariat received a letter from 22 states -- the Arab Group -- expressing their concern that "the planned exhibition could impact negatively on the peace process and current negotiations underway in the Middle East."
"In this context, regrettably, UNESCO had to postpone the inauguration of the exhibition," UNESCO said.
Negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians on a "two-state solution" in which Jewish and Palestinian states would exist peacefully side-by-side broke down in 2010 in a dispute over Israeli settlement construction. Peace talks have shown little sign of progress since their revival last year. Continued...

I am easy to work with and have a very positive attitude. I would be honored to work with new photographers to help achieve your creative vision.
I am professional and respectful and ask for the same in return. This means I will show up on time and ready to work!
It has been brought to my attention that I need to mention in my profile: I will not shoot with any new photographers without an escort. This policy is for my own safety. I guarantee my escort will not be a distraction or an issue of any sort, but I prefer to be cautious. I hope this is understood and appreciated! I can't see why any legitimate photographer would have an issue with this policy, but here it is nonetheless! ;)

|Sarah Palin
---David C. Kernell, 23, today was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for intentionally accessing without authorization the e-mail account of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin and obstruction of justice, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney William C. Killian for the Eastern District of Tennessee. U.S. District Judge Thomas W. Phillips also imposed a three-year term of supervised released. In imposing the prison sentence, Judge Phillips recommended service at Midway Sanction Center, but noted that the Bureau of Prisons would decide where Kernell would serve his sentence.
On April 30, 2010, after a week-long trial, a jury found Kernell guilty of one count of misdemeanor unauthorized access to obtain information from a computer and one count of obstruction of justice. The jury found Kernell not guilty of wire fraud. The jury could not reach a verdict on the identity theft charge and the judge declared a mistrial as to that charge.
According to evidence presented at trial, on Sept. 16, 2008, Kernell, a resident of Knoxville, Tenn., obtained unauthorized access to former Gov. Palin's personal e-mail account by resetting the account password. Evidence showed that after answering a series of security questions that allowed him to reset the password and gain access to the e-mail account, Kernell read the contents of the account and made screenshots of the e-mail directory, e-mail content and other personal information. Kernell posted screenshots of the e-mails and other personal information to a public website. Kernell also posted the new e-mail account password that he had created, thus providing access to the account by others.
Evidence at trial showed that Kernell became aware on Sept. 16, 2008, after the illegal entry into the email account, of a possible FBI investigation. Evidence showed that Kernell began a series of deletions of records and documents with the intent to impede an anticipated FBI investigation.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Krotoski currently detailed to the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) and Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Tennessee. CCIPS Trial Attorney Josh Goldfoot provided significant assistance. The case was investigated by the FBI's Anchorage, Alaska, and Knoxville field offices.

Have you ever purchased from PartSelect.com before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS334230
This is a door catch kit, and it is designed for use with your dryer. On your appliance you will find both a strike and a catch, these two parts work together to keep your dryer door closed. This kit includes two strikes, three catches, and a set of instructions. Each of the door catches included have a different tension. Make sure you use the one that matches the existing catch on your appliance. All three of these are color-coded, and have a number on the back. The instruction sheet will tell you which catch you need to use for your specific model type.
This part works with the following brands: Kenmore, Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Maytag, Inglis, Admiral, Magic Chef.
This part works with the following products: Dryer, Washer Dryer Combo, Laundry Accessories, Trash Compactor, Dishwasher.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Received your parts, Popped them both right into place, Even though only one side needed to be replaced, I wanted them to match up. It was amazing how easy this was. My husband was quite impressed I had ordered these rather then look for either a new or used dryer from some other source.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Removed some screws and partially dismantled the door so I could get the old catch out. Inserted the new catch, and put the screws back in. Saved me an $80+ service call.On the filter, I had to use pliers to remove the old one because the handle had broken off. Did that, and inserted the new one. Done. Sears had been unable to supply me with a new filter.
I can't believe I waited so long to find this part and do this. I got the package very fast, opened it, took the piece to my dryer and popped it into place with my fingers. It worked perfectly! this took all of two minutes and saved me from having to hold the dryer door closed with a stick. Thank you, thank you!!!
This repair was a cinch. Pliers to pull out the metal piece and a screwdriver to pry out the 'catch' part in the door. Both replacement pieces went right in. I cannot believe how easy and CHEAP this fix was, and I'm so glad I found this site!! I figured I would have to call a repairman and pay big bucks, so I put it off, but the door was getting worse--slamming it so hard to keep it shut. Again, thanks for this great site.
un pluged it then removed the hose took the back off took out the 2 screws out of each part replace it with the new parts , then pluged it back to make sure it would work and it did the very first time. i'm 1 happy roper owner.
use screwdriver topry plastic out plyers to pull out metal latch put new parts in
I did NOT have to repair the latch on the actual door, just the small metal piece that it hooks on (on the dryer itself) and it took about 10 seconds to.....do it myself. Just used needle nose pliers so squeeze the piece together and fit it in. thanks
I followed the tips from the repair video. Easy as 1-2-3. I changed both the heating element as well as the thermal cut off. Went ahead and repaired the door catch. Brand new dryer for the next 10 years. I do advise to pull out your shop vac and remove the tons of lint that accumulates in the bottom. A definite fire hazardous. I do attest that this web site is the best by far.
The old catch on my dryer door was gone and I was keeping the door closed using tape. I ordered the part and it arrived with no hassles in about 5 days. The repair was too easy. I just popped the new catch in place. It took all of about 30 seconds to complete using no tools. I wish all home repairs were this easy.
PartSelect sent me three different door catches with instructions for choosing the correct one. I did choose and simply inserted it into the slot and voile! All finished and it works great now! PartSelect had the part delivered the day after my order was placed. I would suggest doing business with them to anyone asking who they might contact for a part. I especially appreciated the ease of identifying and ordering from them. I was able to do all of this on-line via their website.
I used a screwdriver to remove the old part and pushed the new part in with my fingers, it was very easy. If I could do it, anyone can. I was a lot cheaper then having a repair man come to house. I am very glad I found your site online, I will definitely be using your company again.
Old door catch came out, new one slipped in. All works great.
The most difficult part of this repair was making sure I purchased the right part !!! Part Select.com has a great website with pictures of almost every part you could ever need. I was able to select the right part and from there the repair was easy.
removed the catch and the pin and replaced it. We were sent a couple different sizes so we tested the one that looked like the closest match. I think the pin was made with different thicknesses of metal. Worked great and saved us from having to get a new dryer!
I identified the correct catch of the three that were included in the package by matching its number to that on the old catch that I had pried out of the door using a flat screwdriver. I centered the new catch over the square hole in the door and pressed it into place. Then I used some needle-nose pliers to twist and remove the metal pin that fits into the catch from the main dryer housing. I replaced that with the new piece included in the kit, gently tapping it into place with a hammer. The repair complete, the door worked perfectly. Thanks for your help and for the speedy delivery of the kit.

Evolution of the microstructure and mechanical properties of eutectic Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15

The microstructure of the eutectic alloy Fe30Ni20Mn35Al15 (in at.%) was modified by cooling at different rates from 1623 K, i.e., above the eutectic temperature. The lamellar spacing decreased with increasing cooling rate, and in water-quenched specimens lamellae widths of ~100 nm were obtained. The orientation relationship between the fcc and B2 lamellae was found to be sensitive to the cooling rate. In a drop-cast alloy the Kurdjumov–Sachs orientation relationship dominated, whereas the orientation relationship in an arc-melted alloy with a faster cooling rate was \( {\text{fcc}}\left( {\bar{1}12} \right)//{\text{B2}}\left( {0 1 1} \right);\;{\text{fcc}}\left[ {1\bar{1}1} \right]//{\text{B2 }}\left[ {1\bar{1}1} \right] \,{\text{and}}\,{\text{fcc}}\left( {0\bar{1}1} \right)//{\text{B2}}\left( {00 1} \right);{\text{ fcc}}\left[ {0 1 1} \right]//{\text{B2}}\left[ {\bar{1}\bar{1}0} \right] \). The hardness increased with microstructural refinement, obeying a Hall–Petch-type relationship. The strength of the alloy decreased significantly above 600 K due to softening of the B2 phase.

Wanted to remove some stubborn fat deposits. It makes me sad to see all these recommendations; I believed them and had lipo with this Dr. on my abdomen and had really embarrassing uneven results. The result was not natural (tunneling and too much taken out of one side so uneven). When I asked him about it he said there wasn't anything he could do and his waiver I signed had said I could have uneven results. I had asked him about it when I signed and he explained that was only something he saw from 'other surgeons'... sadly for me I got it from him.
When I went back for my final appointment and the tunneling was showing up even worse he said it was becauuse I had unrealistic expectations. Made me really sad because a good friend had lipo from a different Dr. before I did mine and theirs turned out totally natural looking. The only reason I chose a different Dr. was because my friend didn't research and a trusted friend's dad who is also a PS recommended Dr. R. I also paid $2000 more than my friend and thought i'd be getting better results... sadly they were worse and of course I wouldn't let the Dr. who messed it up the first time touch my body again.
Hopefully someday I can get it fixed but I don't really trust plastic surgeons anymore as I thought i'd chosen the best in Dr. R but was wrong. Good luck everyone.

Topics on Tap: What is a Promise?
1903 Chestnut St., 2nd floor
Molly argues that when you make a promise, you are giving a right to the person receiving the promise. That is, instead of creating an obligation for yourself, you are creating a right for another person. In this session of Topics, we will discuss this promisee-centric conception of promises, and look at some empirical evidence that supports it.
Molly Sinderbrand is a Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania. She is (or should be) currently writing her dissertation on the moral motivations that push us to keep our promises. When procrastinating writing her dissertation, Molly is very active in, and really adores, the Jewish community in Philadelphia. She is the education chair of the Graduate Network Programming Board, and a member of Mekor Habracha.

Hey all!
So I'm nearing the end of my ESB Fett statue build! Its taken a couple years but the end is now in sight. Now pretty much all I need is a mannequin! I've done some looking around on the board and it looks like some/most of you have jerry-rigged your mannequins, and other have bought actual display mannequins.
I'm thinking of getting a TK Productions mannequin. I'm a fan of how posable it is, but also concerned about its free standing abilities. I don't really like how the base pole connects to it.
Amazon.com: Male Mannequin, Flexible Posable Bendable Full-size Soft -Black, by TK Products, Great for Costumes
Do you guys have any suggestions or recommendations on a good display mannequin? Thanks for the help guys!

Igloo Cake
Piped buttercream-frosting blocks transform a chocolate-vanilla ice cream cake into an igloo that sweet marzipan penguins call home. Flakes of dried coconut "snow" and a cake stand trimmed with sugar-dusted paper icicles complete the icy habitat (download the icicle template).
- Yield: Makes one 8 1/2-inch dome cake
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December 2006
- Unsalted butter, for baking sheets
- 1 1/4 cups unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more, sifted, for baking sheets
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
- 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil, cooking spray
- 1 quart good-quality chocolate ice cream
- 1 1/2 quarts good-quality vanilla ice cream
- White-Chocolate Buttercream
- 4 large marshmallows, halved
- White, pale-blue, and silver sanding sugar, for decorating
- Marzipan Penguins
- Desiccated unsweetened coconut, for decorating
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets. Line bottoms with parchment paper; butter parchment. Dust with cocoa powder, and tap out excess; set aside.
Sift cocoa, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add eggs and yolk, 1 1/4 cups warm water, the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth.
Divide batter between prepared sheets. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 16 minutes. Let cool on wire racks 30 minutes. Turn out cakes onto racks, and let cool completely.
Coat an 8 1/2-inch (9-cup) ovenproof bowl with cooking spray. Line with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang. Cut one cake layer crosswise into 4-inch-wide strips, and use to line bowl (there should be no gaps). Cut a 9-inch round from remaining cake layer; set aside.
One at a time, mix ice creams in the bowl of electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Spread 1 cup vanilla ice cream over cake in bowl; spread 1 1/2 cups chocolate ice cream on top. Continue layering ice creams, alternating 1 1/2 cups of each flavor, stopping 1/2 inch from rim. Press cake over ice cream. Wrap in plastic; freeze overnight.
Turn out cake onto a 9-inch cake board. Freeze 15 minutes. Spread a thin layer of buttercream (about 1/2 cup) over cake, and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer remaining buttercream to a pastry bag fitted with a basket-weave tip (such as Ateco #898). With smooth side of tip facing you, and starting at top of cake, pipe 1-inch rectangles all over cake. If cake begins to soften, freeze 15 minutes.
Using marshmallows, make the outline of the door. Using a smaller basket-weave tip (such as Ateco #895), pipe rectangles over marshmallows. Sprinkle sanding sugar all over cake. Freeze until ready to serve, up to 1 day. Attach marzipan penguins to cake with toothpicks, and garnish with coconut "snow."

I really like all the samples today. I did my card first thing this morning but then forgot to come back and link--duh!ReplyDelete
Enjoyed the sketch though was a little stumped to start with!
It is the first time that I post a link in Mojo, really like this sketch.ReplyDelete
