Kenmore side by side. Freezer way too cold, Fridge is barely cold
How can I fix this Kenmore side by side
Condensing coils have been cleaned. Fans are running.
The freezer is so cold that the defrost water freezes befor eit drains completely.
The fidge side is so so coldish.
Thanks for any suggestion.
is there a frost build up on the evaporator coil cover?
Frost on Evaporator cover
The problem or one problem was fixed: The difusser ( actually an air shutter ) at the top left
of the refrigerator connecting to the freezer. The plastic shutter was broken and to get it going I fixed it with an additional plastic beam held with epoxy for plastic. So far t is working.
and now I have a nice cool refrigerator.
On the freezer side there is no frost build up but the freezer is was (or is) so cold that the defrost water
freezes before it drains completely. It then pools at the bottom of the freezer.
This problem is likely to be related to the diffuser.
The diffuser failed almost closed, the refrigerator side was calling for cooling, and the freeze just got all of it. I still have to fully defrost all of the freezer and then wait for the next defrost cycle to see if the problem is resolved.
By the way I saw that the diffuser was redesigned after my fridge serial number.
The section of plastic that failed was just too thin, say stupididly thin.
Im not a domestic frige guy, but seems like there should be a heater in the drain pan.
It sounds like your drain line is just clogged. The water is probably not making it out of the freezer because the line is clogged and then it's freezing in place. Try to defrost all of the ice and either blow/suck the line out with a vacuum or blow it out with compressed air if you have it.

Bearcats Look to White Out Rutgers, Seton Hall
Oct. 4, 2012
CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati volleyball team will host BIG EAST foes Rutgers and Seton Hall this weekend at Fifth Third Arena in conjunction with the university's homecoming white out promotions. The Bearcats will take on the Scarlet Knights at 3 p.m. on Fri., Oct. 5 and will meet the Pirates at 2 p.m. on Sun., Oct. 7. Fans are encouraged to wear white to both matches to support UC homecoming.
The Bearcats also will host a post-match volleyball clinic after the match on Sunday. The team will go over drills and technique with all fans ages 14 and under. The clinic will take approximately 30 minutes. Please wear athletic shoes if you wish to participate.
Cincinnati enters the match with a 4-13 overall record and a 2-2 BIG EAST mark. The team is coming off a tough 3-2 loss to crosstown rival Xavier on Oct. 2.
The Bearcats are led by a strong cast of six seniors, including two with nationally-ranked statistics. Jordanne Scott (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence North) ranks second in the conference and 20th in the nation with 4.43 kills/set. Also ranking among the nation's elite is Rachel Rohlfs (Cincinnati, Ohio./Grand Valley State) who sits at third in the conference and 30th in the NCAA with 11.18 assists/game.
The Bearcats are 9-3 all-time against the Scarlet Knights and 7-0 since joining the BIG EAST Conference in 2005. Since becoming league foes, Cincinnati has won by a total margin of 21-2, only dropping single sets in 2005 and 2011. In the last match between the two teams, UC downed RU 3-1 in Oct. 2011 in Piscataway, N.J. Jordanne Scott recorded a match-high 13 kills with a .435 hitting percentage.
Rutgers has recorded a 15-4 record this season and is 1-3 in conference play. The Scarlet Knights got off to one of the best starts in school history, winning 14 of their first 15 games, including a streak of 12-straight victories to close out non-conference play. RU is led offensively by freshman Alex Lassa with 3.74 kills/set. Stephanie Zielinski is currently leading the BIG EAST with 11.47 assists/set while Tracy Wright paces the team with 4.45 digs/set.
Cincinnati holds the all-time advantage over Seton Hall 5-2, with all matches coming since 2005 when Cincinnati joined the BIG EAST. The Pirates swept the Bearcats 3-0 last season in a match played in South Orange, N.J. The loss was the first of conference play for the Bearcats and one of only two they would suffer in 2011. Emily Hayden led the Cincinnati effort with 11 kills and a .471 attacking percentage.
Seton Hall has compiled an impressive 15-2 record this season and are ranked eighth in the NCAA with a .882 winning percentage. The Pirates also have produced a solid 3-1 conference record thus far and are led offensively by a pair of sisters. Stacey Manthorpe leads with 2.94 kills/set while Shelbey Manthorpe tallies 7.77 assists/set. Alyssa Warren leads the team, and ranks third in the conference, with 5.40 digs/set.

Growing Like a Read (GLAR)
Problem StatementLike many public libraries, Pioneer Library System has designed its baby and toddler story-times to include best practices – telling stories, reading aloud, talking and listening, singing together and separately, looking at illustrations and playing together. But how can libraries go the extra yard in showing parents how to create the very best pre-literacy experiences that librarians cannot: repetition, ritual, and personal connection.
With generous funding from the Inasmuch Foundation of Oklahoma City, the children's staff at Pioneer Library System has developed the GROWING LIKE A READ concept to assist parents of young children to easily learn and adopt activities that target early literacy skills acquisition.
Parents who enroll receive a tote bag that includes: 1) a piggy bank that impresses the concept of early literacy as a wise investment; 2) a stand up spiral-bound flip book designed by PLS that is sturdy enough to stand up on a table, floor, or lap. These flip books include age-appropriate songs rhymes and finger plays. Some Spanish content is included; 3) eight charted activity logs, one for each six-month period between birth and age four. Each chart contains developmentally appropriate activities that reflect the six pre-reading skills. On the reverse side, characteristics of that developmental stage and information about the pre-reading skills are listed. As parents complete activity logs, they receive a series of incentives, including a board book for their home library, a CD of nursery rhymes, songs and finger plays produced by library staff, and the opportunity to enter their child's name in a drawing for a savings bond donated by local community banks. Oversized Posters with stand-up book content are used by Pioneer librarians who model activities to parents/caregivers in story times.

Reviews for Dinner Rolls
"I would like to know how to get a smooth top on yeast rolls"
"These rolls turned out really good and they looked just like the picture! I will definitely be making these again. Thanks!!!"
"quite good and light! Nice recipe!"
"Good and easy to make, but not quite what I was hoping for. I may have overworked the dough. They turned out tougher than I wanted."
"I made these rolls for my family last Friday, substituting stick margarine for the butter and soy milk for the milk. I also omitted the tsp. sugar in which to dissolve the yeast. These were simply outstanding! And dairy free to boot! Already my wife and kids want me to make them again!Avram Herzog"
"these are easy and so yummy they taste just like they are from a restraunt"
"These were so great for Thanksgiving! I didn't do the second rise and they turned out with a little heavier feel that was perfect. I will definitely make these again."
"Love the taste... will definitely make it again"
"Delicious rolls! My family could not stop eating them. :)I substituted organic raw HONEY for the sugar. I used 1 tsp. honey combined with the yeast. Additionally, I used 2 1/2 Tablespoons of raw honey for the 1/3 cup sugar. Excellent, tasty results.I definitely will be making these again."
"My mom has had problems making rolls. Something always goes wrong. But when I made these, even my picky dad said they were good! They went great with our lasagna!"
"These were the best rolls I've ever made! Rose high with a beautiful golden crust. A lovely addition to my Easter dinner."
"This recipe is one that will prob. become a tradition around our house, the flavor just dances on your taste-buds and the guests cant get enough of them!"
"These were yummy! When I rolled mine into the balls I couldn't get mine to look smooth though. My son told me however that they were the best rolls ever so I will definately make these again!"
"These smell great and taste wonderful!"
"I made these for our Sunday dinner and they are wonderful! Just the greatest!"

Henrich Wilhelm Muenck
|Burbach, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
|Died in New York, United States
|Immediate Family:
Son of Johannes Antonius Muenck and Maria Magdalena Roehligs
|Managed by:
|Michael David Miller
|Last Updated:
Immediate Family
About Henrich Wilhelm Muenck
From http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=ckmonk&id=I03278
Military Service: BET 1777 AND 1784 Private in Butler's Rangers in Revolutionary War
Emigration: 1774 North America, Maryland
The surname Monk has evolved over three hundred years due to the change from the German spelling to the Anglican form. Henrich Wilhelm Monk and his ancestors have been found with different name spellings such as Muench, Muenck, Monck, Munck, Munk and Monk. Records are difficult to find since they were sometimes recorded phonetically or transcribed incorrectly due to the poor condition of the original writing. Also since the first name was often the "Saint" name such as Johannes, Heinrich, Christopher or Maria, it was common to list the middle name on the church and other records. In their marriage record, Henrich Wilhelm Monk's name was found recorded as Wilhelmus Mook and his wife, Maria Esther Friederich recorded as Hester Frederik.
Henrich Wilhelm Muenck emigrated from Germany to the Mohawk Valley region of New York about 1774. It appears that he may have fought in the Revolutionary War as a Private in Butler's Rangers sometime between 1777 and 1784.
Henrich Wilhelm Monk and his family are found living in Watervliet, Albany County, New York in the 1790 census. Living next door in the same town is Maria Esther's father, Stephen Friederich. Also living nearby in Watervliet are Maria's brother, Michael Friederich and her uncle Dewald Friederich. In the 1800 census report, Henrich Wilhelm Monk and family are found living in Cobleskill, Schoharie County, New York. Also living in Cobleskill is his cousin, Christopher Monk. In the 1810 census report, Henrich Wihelm Monk and family are found living in Carlisle, Schoharie County, New York. Living nearby in the same town is his son, Stephen.
Henrich and his wife Maria, being United Empire Loyalists, moved from Schoharie County, New York to Williamsburgh, Ontario, Canada about 1810 and were still living in Williamsburgh as of March 1819. It appears that Maria is living with her son Stephen and his family in Carlisle, New York in the 1830 census. It is unknown if Henrich Wilhelm Monk died in Canada or returned to New York with Maria.
The following information is from the "Extracts From the Early Lutheran Parish Records of Williamsburgh, Ontario" and is part of the collection of the Loyalist Resource Center in Morrisburg, Ontario, Canada. The information was contributed by the descendants of Matthias Monck & his wife Elizabeth Hanes, Ted and Lily (Monck) McNairn, circa December 1988. It reads as follows: "George Read and wife Catarina had a daughter Esther, born 15th March 1819, baptized 16th March 1819.
Sponsors: William Munk and wife Mary Esther". It is very possible that this George Reed is the same one living near Henrich Wilhelm and Maria Esther in Watervliet, Albany County, New York in the 1790 Census. It is suspected that Esther Reed was named after Maria Esther and that the Reeds and Monks were close friends in New York and moved to Canada at about the same time.

University of Ohio baseball player Andrew Shisila has been charged with a first degree misdemeanor count of gambling. He was charged with former Ohio player Brent DeCoster who played with the Bobcats during his freshman season. Both of them are accused of running a gambling ring out of their residence. The investigation started in November when head coach Joe Carbone and Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt received an anonymous tip. They immediately contacted Ohio University police who started investigating the charges. They found three additional Ohio baseball players were involved in placing bets with the duo and they have been suspended from the team indefinitely with Shisila. The full release from Ohio Media Relations is available here.

Always a day away
You don't even have to pay me to howl those words at those who happen to pass by me. I'll do it for free. That's how good this book is. Wait; let me back up a bit.
Change arrived by way of subtle shifts in nature. The arctic terns became confused and no longer flew to the Antarctic, instead content to make their homes in Paris, France. Even though there was little to pollinate, a few short months later the world's bee population up and migrated to Chicago. Next, the butterflies became confused, flying to the freezing north instead of their typical hibernation destination of Mexico. People began to panic. Was the world coming to an end?
Of course we live in on a planet where our bees are slowly disappearing from something called colony collapse disorder. If they die completely we'll find ourselves in some trouble as they're responsible for pollinating 1/3 of the food we consume. Douglas Coupland imaged a world surviving without bees, only to see them suddenly return in his novel Generation A. In Magnason's however, they not only thrive, they rule an entire city. Why?
The prevailing theory in the world of LoveStar (and the one that was originally embraced and then dismissed as the real life cause for the decline of our bees) was that world was becoming too inundated with waves. Cell phone towers, satellites, all manner of transmissions were jamming the airwaves, confusing the animals, making it impossible for them to communicate with one another. A replacement system was needed. Enter LoveStar. Enter the world's first cordless modern man.
LoveStar, a corporation founded by a man who calls himself LoveStar, figured out how to transmit messages between human beings using bird waves. Oh the possibilities for mankind! Especially once LoveStar understood how to control a person's speech center. Just think of all the new advertisement opportunities.
People could work off their debts or earn some extra cash by being forced to "howl" things. "HAVE A COKE!" "SHOP HERE!" LoveStar also learned how to control the bodily functions of others. They could pay people to become AdTraps. Why stop at making a person howl when you could make them urinate themselves in order to sell diapers or openly weep in order to promote a new movie?
Why stop at all? Keep progressing LoveStar! Next they would unlock the secrets of love. Matching each person in the world with his or her true soul mate. They would unlock a new, cleaner death. Why bury people in the ground when you can send them into space via rockets and turn them into shooting stars? Puffin tastes too fishy and you feel guilty eating it because it's so cute? We'll make it taste like turkey and squawk "eat me" at you to alleviate your concerns.
In Magnason's world those in power take technology and continue to advance it and abuse it under the guise of creating a better, simpler, freer world without ever stopping to consider the possibly profound ramifications their actions will have on the world as a whole. Sound familiar?
My grandfather was born in 1919, at Oddsstaɗir in Melrakkaslétta. He may have belonged to the last generation in lceland living in full harmony with reality. People of his generation considered themselves rich because they were not hungry. –Andri Snaer Magnason, Dreamland
But when you've conquered human desire, love, and death, what's left for you to control? Aren't you a God? Not quite yet…
What happens when you continue to make technological advances in the name of freedom only to enslave those whom you desire to make free? Technology becomes its own AdTrap. Promising things it could never hope to deliver. Isolating us from one another. Slowly destroying the world and all of its natural resources.
Equal parts Vonnegut and Calvino, but never truly derivative of either influence, Magnason's novel takes a sometimes scathing, sometimes humorous look at what happens when we are willing give up our freedoms in exchange for the promise of a better tomorrow that never arrives.
Progress is necessary, but at what cost?
:: Aaron
The world that Andri Snaer Magnason imagines in LoveStar may be in the realm of science fiction, but it isn't so far from the truth. In this alternate universe, technology is personified and specifically catered to the individual. "Howlers" are programmed to shout out personal ads to the public, such as "PRETTY DRESS! YOU WERE SMART TO BUY SUCH A PRETTY DRESS!" Love is calculated so that individuals can find their perfect match, and death is no longer carried out through burials. Instead, the dead are shot up into space where they fall back to the earth in the vision of a comet or falling star.
All of these activities are designed and implemented by LoveStar, an organization that researches human patterns, brain waves, and emotions to allow humans to live more productively and harmoniously. The problem with these utopian ideas, however, is that they are usually one step away from dystopia. For Indridi and Sigrid, the benefits of LoveStar are fast becoming a horrible nightmare. The happy couple has just found out that they are not a match. They keep telling themselves (and each other) that it doesn't matter – that their romance can withstand LoveStar's doomed diagnosis of their relationship, but the pressures of a society that relies on statistics and calculations soon begin to poison their happiness.
But more than love, romance, death, and advertisements, LoveStar serves as a horrifying warning to readers that when life and human emotion is left in the hands of technology, the world truly becomes a cold and lonely place. Magnason's novel presents a bizarre and curious alternate universe that may at first seem far from the realm of possibility. But upon closer inspection, the realities of LoveStar are not that far from our own. Western society is one that is programmed to believe that life cannot exist without technology, and don't get me wrong, technology is great. I love my iphone, I love social media, and I love that technology is making huge leaps in the fields of medicine, science, and space exploration. But at the same time, it's easy to see how dependent we are on technology. A life unplugged is a life of naivete and loneliness, right? But if we allow the possibilities of technology to enter the realm of our emotions and instincts, well, that's a whole different can of worms – and not only has Magnason opened this can, but he has allowed the futuristic worms of possibility to explore whatever they choose – and the scenarios are far from ideal.
LoveStar asks readers to consider how far we will allow technology, calculations, and statistics to go. Are we advancing as a society, or are we creating a breed of humanity that is incapable of making emotional and intimate choices with whimsy and instinct? Do we instead rely on the possibilities of outcomes that science has taught us to rely on? And if we rely on them for basic decisions, how long until our lives are completely controlled by machines that falsely claim humanity and morality? It's a lot to consider, and some of it may seem outlandish and dooming, but still, it's worth considering.

That way, everything you have will be compatable and you'll have Long Lang to play with and minipulate just like the TBH.

In a test of will between the country's two most powerful institutions, the military junta sent riot police and troops into battle with the monks who led dozens of anti-government demonstrations.
Scroll down for more...
Hundreds of civilians were bludgeoned and hauled off to prison, scores were seriously injured and up to five people, including three monks, were killed.
A nurse said one young monk died of a head wound that exposed his brain after he was smashed over the head repeatedly with a rifle butt in Rangoon, Burma's largest city.
Pictures taken on mobile phones and smuggled out via the internet showed monks' shaved heads stained with blood after police charged near the Shwedagon pagoda in the heart of Rangoon.
An eye-witness said: "We saw plainclothes government thugs threatening the monks.
Scroll down for more...
"One of them was standing above a group of monks, hanging off a railing and screaming at them. He shouted: "Do you want death? If you want death, try walking down this street..."
"Just a few metres further along the road that runs in front of a gold-domed pagoda, other thugs wielding chunks of wood surrounded about eight monks and were threatening them menacingly, almost provoking them to take them on.
"A monk sat down in front of the soldiers, and was joined by a few other brave souls.
"It was an incredible scene. Some appeared to have no fear."
At one stage, civilians are said to have joined the protest in large numbers, acting as human shields in a bid to protect the monks.
A student said: "If they are brave, we must be brave. They risk their lives for us."
How has Burma, depicted to the few rich Western tourists who go there as a South-East Asian idyll of palm trees, golden Buddhist monuments, thousands of temples, ancient art and civilisations, unspoilt jungles and tropical beaches, ever come to this?
Scroll down for more...
It should be a prosperous nation, too.
When the British handed over power in 1945, it was one of the wealthiest countries in the region, rich in gems and teak and South-East Asia's biggest exporter of rice.
Recent discoveries of oil and gas have added to its natural wealth.
But no amount of tourist brochures or government propaganda can hide the brutal reality any longer.
For Burma is in the grip of tyranny, ruled over by a military junta that enriches itself, while enslaving its citizens through intimidation, imprisonment and unspeakable savagery.
Now, it seems, the people can take no more. The past week's protests, led so courageously by the nation's saffron-robed monks, were sparked by a 100 per cent rise in the cost of petrol and cooking oil, imposed by the regime on August 15. But in fact, they are the result of decades of persecution and economic stagnation from a regime that has brought the nation to its knees.
Scroll down for more...
I've covered Burma as a reporter for more than 15 years, travelling extensively through the country, talking both to pro-democracy activists like leader Aung San Suu Kyi and to top military officials.
And what I have witnessed has astonished and horrified me.
For here, away from the eyes of the world, terrible injustices have been taking place on a daily basis and, through decades of misrule, a once-great nation has been reduced to medieval poverty.
In my most recent trip for Channel 4's Dispatches programme, I walked through the jungle for five weeks with guerillas from the ethnic Karen minority whose mission was to aid villagers burnt out of their homes by soldiers waging a campaign against civilian uprising.
I then spent a month inside the main cities of Rangoon, Mandalay and Sittwe investigating the abuses perpetrated against those who were working for an end to military rule.
Out in the jungle, I met people who fled military columns where they had been press-ganged in to walking in front of the troops as human mine sweepers.
A man was fleeing with his wife and three small children after his village chief was beheaded by troops.
There was also the man whose son was burnt alive in his house as the troops raided the village.
All the man found was his little son's hand - the horror of which made him want to die, he said.
I've also heard countless stories of how the army uses rape as a weapon of war against many of the ethnic minorities who make up 40 per cent of Burma's population.
On the border with neighbouring Thailand, I met many young men who've been tortured inside Burma's prisons, shackled for days in one position, beaten, and kept in tiny 'dog-cells' so small that their inmates can only crouch in permanent agony.
Their crime? Simply campaigning for democratic rule.
One man I interviewed about the use of torture in the government's prisons was then jailed for seven years for talking to me - another senior leader of the National League for Democracy was given 14 years' jail for criticising the way the regime forces farmers to sell it up to half their rice harvest at below cost prices.
No wonder so few dare speak out.
The injustices go on and on, ranging from the military's seizure of private property to village elders being forced to provide teenage girls to military camps where they are used as sex slaves.
The regime rules by fear, employing-a network of spies, an intelligence system that tries to keep the country isolated and gangs of thugs who enforce its rule through violence ever since it gunned down 3,000 people to crush the last uprising in 1988.
It subsequently allowed an election in 1990 that saw the prodemocratic National League for Democracy Party, led by Aung San Suu Kyi - Oxford-educated daughter of Burma's independence hero Aung San - win a landslide victory, which was promptly nullified by the junta who refused to give up power.
Adored throughout the country as a symbol of freedom and hope, Suu Kyi has ever since been locked away under house arrest.
When I first visited Burma, more than decade ago, there were was a glimmer of hope to be found among the few worldly, well-educated men in the army's upper ranks.
But most of the officers who saw the value of easing control, opening up to the West, and even doing a deal with Suu Kyi, were purged several years ago and today it is a gang of ill-educated, paranoid and xenophobic generals who are running Burma.
Yet the fact that these protests are being led by monks has presented a problem for the regime and may explain why its response has, for the time being, not resulted in wholesale slaughter, because Burma's monks, who number 500,000, are deeply revered.
Whether this is now an uprising that has gained such widespread support among ordinary citizens that it cannot be stopped remains to be seen.
But many Burmese I know believe that the only hope to avoid further violence, and murder, is if foreign nations come to their aid.
The question is: do the world's leaders have the same moral courage as those brave monks who are protesting with such dignity in the face of growing violence - and in the hope of a most basic liberty?

text: Many people in Bangor headed downtown to support small businesses this weekend.The United States Senate passed a resolution introduced by Senator Olympia Snowe and the Committee on Small Business marking this November 24th "Small Business Saturday." Some businesses around Bangor have been participating for the past few years.Store owners said, even though you can save a lot of money on Black Friday deals, you miss out on the personal experience you get when you shop local. Store Manager of Mexicali Blues, Julie Baker-Leaden said "It's customer service. People are going to be treated a whole lot different in small town America's downtown communities than they will at any big box store.""This year has been a lot busier and had a lot more support behind it. You definitely see a lot more businesses in downtown Bangor going for it," said Matt Bishop, an associate at Epic Sports in Bangor. Senator Snowe added "Small businesses are more than just the backbone of our nation's economy: they are engrained in the fabric of our communities."Many of the business owners say they will continue to participate in this annual event.

I'm confused here. I think I just read in two posts about have MORE government control under Obama.
Is that the way it looks to you? As if under Obama we will be under MORE government scrutiny than we are under Bush, or would be under McCain?
Did I miss something?

Joel Hanrahan and peripheral stats
When the Pirates acquired Joel Hanrahan from the Nationals, I immediately noticed the huge discrepancy between his peripherals and his unsightly 7.71 ERA. Hanrahan struck out 35 batters, walked 14, and allowed three home runs in his 32.2 inning with Washington this year. That comes out to a FIP of 3.60, more than four runs lower than his actual ERA. I immediately liked the acquisition, as it seemed obvious that Hanrahan's absurd .451 opponent's BABIP was dramatically damaging his numbers. Superficial improvement seemed imminent, regardless of any authentic progress being present.
Fast forward to today, August 28. Hanrahan has thrown 19.2 innings for the Pirates, with an impressive 25 strikeouts, a less impressive 11 walks, and zero home runs allowed. His FIP with Pittsburgh is 2.37, and h...

Lighting and recepticles
I have two questions. I am in the process of finishing my basement. The first question is how to estimate lighting needs. I am familiar with the IESNA guidelines and would like a reliable method to calculate my lighting needs. Is there a better way to do it than trial and error with a light meter? I have to imagine so. A nice formula of sq ft, lumens and/or foot candle, and distance from light source is all I would need.
Secondly, what does code require for receptacles? I sort of remember it being one receptacles per 10 ft of wall. Is this correct? What about a 17 foot wall length? Does that require 2 receptacles?
EDIT: Found the answser to question 1
Receptacle spacing is commonly known as the 6-12 rule.
Within 6' of entering the room you need a receptacle. Then no more than 12' to the next one. Walls 2' or more wide would require a receptacle also. Fixed panels of sliding doors count as wall space.
Ok, so say I have a 17x17 room and enter in a corner. On the wall to the immediate side I would need one at 6 ft from the corner where you enter, then another on the perpendicular wall less than 1 foot from the corner? (As 6+12=18 and would wrap to the next wall) Not a convenient layout as instead of 1 foot from the corner you would likely put 2 on the same wall, but I am just trying to understand the theory. Does that sound right?
You could do that as long as there was no more than 12 foot between the receptacles. There is nothing stopping you from putting them every 2 foot if you want. Put them where you need and want them, plan for the furniture layout.
PS, the 6' in your example needs to be measured to both sides of the entry.

Keep in mind this is bare MINIMUM, please feel free to add as many more as you like.
Attachment 3029
That is a very nice diagram and notes to properly define the requirement.
Nicely done.

Comfortmaker RPJ - Bad Transformer?
As per tradition around my house, the :censored: furnance has gone out during the winter break. 4 Years running! I think I have it troubleshot, but just want to make sure.:)
The furnance doesn't turn on. Last year it would try to turn on, but then fault out. This year nothing. It's dead. I can't even hear the hum of A/C voltage at the transformer.
I measure 120VAC at the on/off switch. I jumped out the lock out. I jumped the R and W (call for heat) at the thermostat. I measure 120VAC on the line side of the transformer. I measure absolutley nothing on the load side of the transformer. I believe it's A/C in and A/C out, but it's been a long time since I've done anything with transformers.
I have pulled the transformer. It's all coroded. The terminals seem to be ok.
It is BE2674500 1##
PRI 115V 55/60Hz
Basler Electric Highland
So 120VAC in and 24VAC out.
Any other ideas than the transformer? Any idea where to pick up a transformer on Christmas morning?
Thanks to any who respond.
Push come to shove remove your home transformer from the door bell.
Gotta be careful though. Trans don't just blow by themselves. You may have another prob on top.
We suffered through a chilly Christmas huddled around the gas fireplace. A great family bonding experience.
This morning I purchased a transformer and replace it. The furnnce kicked on and we have heat.
I did find the bigger problem. The humidifier sprung a leak. It drippeddown and coroded the old transformer. So I have disconnected that and will wait for a warmer day to troubleshoot it.
Thanks for the thoughts

Putting The OneLight On Hold For Awhile
I've decided that I'm going to retire the OneLight in its current format for a year or so. There are a number of factors in this decision that I posted about on my blog. I'll still be doing some teaching but I want to change it up a bit. I have agreed to teach a few times this year; you can check out the dates section for more info.

Each year, the direct cost of steel corrosion to the U.S. economy is $276 billion, or 3.1% of its gross domestic product. That's according to a study by Houston-based NACE International–The Corrosion Society titled "Corrosion Costs and Preventive Strategies in the United States." With so much potential to help mitigate these costs, it's expected that inventors are searching for the latest breakthrough in the science of rebar-corrosion protection.

198 F3d 169 Estate of Willie Mae Sowell v. United States of America
198 F.3d 169 (5th Cir. 1999)
ESTATE OF WILLIE MAE SOWELL, Plaintiff-Appellant,
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Defendant-Appellee.
No. 98-11066
December 13, 1999
G. Tomas Rhodus (argued), Looper, Reed. Mark & McGraw, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellant.
John A. Nolet (argued), Jonathan S. Cohen, U.S. Department of Justice, Tax Division Appellate Section. Washington, DC, for Defendant-Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court For the Northern District of Texas
Before KING, Chief Judge, and REYNALDO G. GARZA and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judge:
The Estate of Willie Mae Sowell ("the Estate") appeals from a jury verdict upholding an IRS penalty for the Estate's failure to establish "reasonable cause" for its late payment of estate taxes. We affirm.
Willie Mae Sowell passed away on December 14, 1991, at the age of 99. At the time of her death, most of Sowell's substantial fortune was consolidated in two trusts.1
Federal law required the Estate to file a federal estate tax return and pay the tax due within nine months of Mrs. Sowell's death, i.e. before September 14, 1992. See 26 U.S.C. 6075(a). While the estate owed $2,328,456 in federal estate taxes and $428,917 in Texas state estate taxes, it had only $1,000,961 in liquid assets to pay these debts because the majority of the estate was tied up in the two trusts. The Estate paid its entire state tax debt and paid the remainder, $572,044, to the IRS in partial satisfaction of its federal debt. TheEstate also filed a Form 4768 request for a five-year extension to pay the balance, $1,756,412. The IRS denied the request, and the Estate did not appeal.
The Estate did not pay the full remainder of its tax liability until November 1996. Because the Estate had paid approximately $1.7 million of its tax liability over four years late, the IRS, pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6651, assessed a late payment penalty against the Estate which, including interest, amounted to $448,585.29. The estate paid the penalty under protest and filed an administrative claim for a refund, claiming that it was not liable for the penalty because its delinquency was "due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect." 26 U.S.C. 6651(a)(2).2 The IRS denied the claim, and the Estate brought suit in district court against the United States ("the government"). A jury found that the Estate had not shown that its failure to timely pay the estate taxes was due to "reasonable cause," and the court entered judgment for the government.
On appeal, the Estate asserts that the district court erred (1) in not permitting its expert to answer hypothetical questions inquiring into "reasonable cause" and (2) in allowing the government to present evidence of events occurring after the date on which the Estate's taxes were due. We review these evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion. See Wilson v. Woods, 163 F.3d 935, 936 (5th Cir. 1999) (expert testimony); Caparotta v. Entergy Corp., 168 F.3d 754, 755-56 (5th Cir. 1999) (relevance and undue prejudice).
At trial, the Estate sought to ask its expert witness, Dean Charles O. Galvin, several hypothetical questions concerning what a reasonable fiduciary would do when confronted with facts identical to those in this case.3 The government moved to forbid this line of questioning, arguing that it would convey to the jury a legal conclusion on the issue of "reasonable cause." The district court agreed with the government, allowing Dean Galvin to testify as to the definition and general standards of conduct of a fiduciary, but forbidding Galvin from testifying as to whether the fiduciaries in this case acted reasonably.
In Askanse v. Fatjo, 130 F.3d 657, 669 (5th Cir. 1997), we upheld the exclusion of an attorney expert who sought to testify about whether the officers and directors in the case had breached their fiduciary duties. See Askanse, 130 F.3d at 672-73. We held that the proposed testimony offered a legal opinion and, as such, was inadmissible. See id. ("Whether the officers and directors breached their fiduciary duties is an issue for the trier of fact to decide. It is not for [the expert] to tell the trier of fact what to decide.").
The principles espoused in Askanse are equally applicable here. Dean Galvin sought to testify about what a hypothetical estate executor, faced with the identical facts as the Estate in this case, would do if acting reasonably. Whether the Estate was "acting reasonably" was, for all practical purposes, the only issue for the juryin this case to decide. Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding Dean Galvin's testimony as an inadmissible legal opinion on the issue of "reasonable cause." Cf. Boyle, 249 U.S. at 249 n.8, 105 S. Ct. at 692 n.8, 83 L.Ed.2d at 622 ("A number of courts have indicated that 'reasonable cause' is a question of fact, to be determined only from the particular situation presented in each particular case. This view is not entirely correct. Whether the elements that constitute 'reasonable cause' are present in a given situation is a question of fact, but what elements must be present to 'constitute' reasonable cause is a question of law.") (citations omitted).
The Estate here essentially attempted to circumvent Askanse by asking its expert hypothetical questions with facts identical to those in the case at bar rather than simply asking its expert to espouse his opinion on the facts of the case. This line of questioning, however, would implicate the same concerns present in Askanse, namely, that "if an expert were allowed to testify to legal questions, each party would find an expert who would state the law in the light most favorable to its position . . . confus[ing] the jury." Askanse, 130 F.3d at 673. Accordingly, the district court acted within its wide discretion in forbidding the Estate from asking Galvin these hypothetical questions, responses to which would constitute a legal opinion "tell[ing] the trier of fact what to decide." Id.
Before the trial began, the Estate moved in limine to forbid the government from introducing evidence of events that occurred after the date the tax was due, arguing that such evidence was irrelevant to the question of whether the Estate had "reasonable cause" for not paying before that date. The district court denied the motion.
Treasury Regulations provide that:
A failure to pay will be considered to be due to reasonable cause to the extent that the taxpayer has made a satisfactory showing that he exercised ordinary business care and prudence in providing for payment of his tax liability and was nevertheless either unable to pay the tax or would suffer an undue hardship if he paid on the due date.
26 C.F.R. 301.6651-1. At trial, the Estate attempted to prove "reasonable cause" with evidence that it tried without success to raise cash by using funds from the WMST and the AST. The Estate argued that the AST's last-minute decision not to contribute to paying the tax debt eliminated that source as a possibility, and that it exercised reasonable business judgment in deciding not to liquidate the assets of the WMST.
The Estate argues that since "reasonable cause" and "willful neglect" are determined as of the date the taxes are due, any events subsequent to that date are irrelevant and unduly prejudicial.4 We disagree. The post-due date evidence was introduced by the government to rebut the Estate's argument that it used "ordinary care and prudence" in attempting to pay the tax before it was due.5 For example, the fact that the Estate did not attempt to obtain a loan for the entire four-year period following the due date is certainly relevant to whether its failure to arrange for a loan before the due date was "reasonable." Further, the Estate's failure to appeal theIRS's denial of its request for an extension clearly affects whether the Estate's overall failure to pay on time was "reasonable." Such information is more than merely relevantit is quite probative of "reasonableness", and outweighs any unduly prejudicial effect it may have had on the estate.
Under the Estate's rationale, evidence that an executor used estate funds to purchase a fleet of luxury cars and an island in the South Pacific after the date the taxes were due would be inadmissible to prove that the executor's failure to pay the estate taxes on time was unreasonable. This is plainly wrong. Accordingly, the district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing introduction of the post-due date evidence as admissible to prove that the Estate was unreasonable in failing to pay its taxes on the due date.
Finding appellant's contentions to be without merit, we AFFIRM the judgment of the district court.
One of the two trusts, the "Albert Sowell Trust" ("AST"), was established by Sowell's husband, Albert, before his death. Under the favorable tax treatment afforded "Qualified Terminal Interest Property" ("QTIP"), the AST was excludible from Mr. Sowell's estate, but was necessarily taxable as part of Mrs. Sowell's estate upon her death. See 26 U.S.C. 2056(b)(7). In addition, a large part of Mrs. Sowell's fortune was held in the "Willie Mae Sowell Trust" ("WMST"), which had been established for Mrs. Sowell's benefit in 1984. The WMST was also part of Sowell's estate for federal estate tax purposes. See id. 2036.
An affirmative showing of "reasonable cause" excuses late filings from penalties. See 26 U.S.C. 6651(a)(2). "To escape the penalty, the taxpayer bears the heavy burden of proving both (1) that the failure did not result from 'willful neglect' and (2) that the failure was 'due to reasonable cause.'" United States v. Boyle, 469 U.S. 241, 245, 105 S.Ct. 687, 689-90, 83 L.Ed.2d 622 (1985).
The proposed hypothetical questions included the following:
Suppose that an estate has two creditors to pay, but not enough money to pay both. In your opinion, how should the estate determine which creditor to pay? Would your answer be different, if one of the creditors was the Internal Revenue Service, and the other creditor was the State of Texas?
Assume that there is a "QTIP" trust that is required to be included in an estate for purpose of computing federal estate taxes. The will of the decedent whose estate is at issue contains language directing that all taxes should be 'paid out of my estate without reimbursement from any person.' The attorney for the estate decides not to sue the QTIP trust for contribution. In your opinion, is this a reasonable decision for the estate to make?
The Estate relies on Industrial Indemnity v. Snyder, 41 B.R. 882 (E.D. Wa. 1984). Snyder, however, is inapplicable here. In Snyder, a taxpayer without reasonable cause for not filing on the date his taxes were due argued that the late penalty should stop accruing at the time he later, after the due date, had "reasonable cause." The court rejected that argument, asserting that if a taxpayer did not have "reasonable cause" on the date his taxes were due, later justifications would not stop penalties from accruing. Id. The court, however, did not assert that post-date events were irrelevant to whether the failure to pay by the due date was "reasonable"; rather, it merely asserted that post-date events did not stop the penalties from accruing.
The government introduced evidence that the Estate did not sue the AST for its allegedly illegal failure to contribute to pro rata to the estate taxes, that the Estate did not consider borrowing money from the more-than-sufficient AST, that the Estate failed to appeal the IRS's denial of its request for an extension, and that the Estate took no action in an effort to pay the tax debt for four years.

Chicken Heart Gift questions moved to diet and nutrition
I've been gifted with a 1-2 lb block of frozen chicken hearts. I have no clue what to do with them LOL
When I first got them, I said something about cutting blocks of them, thawing and adding to meals raw. DH had a complete fit with that (old school belief that raw/blood makes them vicious - not going to change him on that).
My next thought was to cook them - boil, saute, steam? and then dehydrate them to use for training treats. Does anyone know if the hearts would hold together to do this? Is there a better way to handle them?
My next question is - will this stink the house up of better to do this outside?
Eating raw meat has made me vicious. :rolleyes:
Seriously, smoked chicken hearts were my old dogs absolute favorite reward. I bought them at a farmer's market so I don't have much advice on how to make them.
Wonder how long it would take to smoke them..something to think about.
dehydrate them from the RAW state .
My Rotten Dogs: Homemade Dehydrated Chicken Dog Treats
I have a dehydrator which I use for chicken hearts, gizzards, liver , (same for turkey) , pizzles , trachea , pig skin .
one to two pounds is not a lot , and really is not a lot of finished dehydrated treats . The meat weight is mostly water.
I don't know if you can dehydrate a cooked product because the moisture is already removed.
If this is the only time you are going to dehydrate it is not worth the price to buy a machine . Either borrow one , or use your oven at the lowest setting , 150 F (we are C metric) , and leave for the time (2 to 4 hours) until you have dry hard shrivelly chicken hearts on the tray. Is it worth the electricity charge?
didn't you oops drop them and the dog snarfed them up?
Yes, the electricity is worth it to find out if these will be as high value for training as I think they will. I am just going to have to work around Mr. Old School
If I had a cooked product I would keep it in a zip lock in the freezer until needed.
What a shame you can't give them raw, Lola and Harry love raw chicken hearts - hasn't turned them into killing machines.

We are rich nation. We could pay off our debt and stop borrowing money if we taxed ourselves using a fair and progressive tax system like we did in the pass. Talking around the subject using free market dogma is nothing but another dodge.

If all of the Presidents have adhered by the Constitution, America wouldn't be in this sad predicament today. This is just sad what's going on here. Thanks Ron for renewing a new hope for me. If Ron dont' win I just simply give up. We are just done for.

Jason Bay's regression sudden, dramatic
In 2006, Jason Bay was clearly the offensive star of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Of the eight players with 300 or more plate appearances, he ranked first in OBP, SLG, OPS, home runs and walks. He was third in batting average and second in doubles. The Pirates spent the offseason focusing almost exclusively on finding a power bat to take some of the offensive pressure off of Bay, finally acquiring Adam LaRoche in January. That filled a major hole in the Pittsburgh lineup, but still left the team with many offensive question marks. The one player that seemed dependable was Jason Bay in leftfield.
However, 2007 has not gone as expected. Bay was hitting .312/.382/.540 on June 3 when things suddenly fell apart. Among eight Pirates that currently have 300 or more plate appearances, Bay is eig...

Bar Puller Kit For Gang Tool CNC Lathes
Related Topics:
A new bar puller kit has been designed for gang-tool-style CNC lathes. Because of the limited space between tool holders on gang tool plates, interference between tool shanks can result in the loss of one or two tool positions. The new bar pull kit accommodates the company's shanks that require a minimum amount of lateral space (5/8" shank diameter, 0.84" shoulder diameter).
The bar pull kit includes 10 grippers for bar stock diameters from 3/16" to 3/4" (in 1/16" increments). These grippers mount directly to the 5/8" diameter bar puller shank. According to the company, the lightweight and self-activating bar pull has no moving parts, mounts in 60 seconds with gripper change in about 30 seconds, and does not interfere with other tools. The bar puller requires only 1/4" of bar stock engagement and pull-positions the bar stock to within 0.001".

The Cardinals' 7-4 win Tuesday
night at
Left fielder Lance Berkman, a former Astros star who hit two home runs in the final game of the series the last time the Cardinals were in Houston, drilled another a two-run homer in the first inning, running his career total to 154 homers at Minute Maid Park.
First baseman Albert Pujols, white hot after an up-and-down first two months, homered for the fourth game in a row. His fifth homer in that span and 14th of the season was a monstrous shot to deep left center in the eighth inning.
Shortstop Ryan Theriot extended his hitting streak to 20 games, longest active streak in the league, with a two-out, run-scoring double in the ninth inning. It was the second straight game that Theriot had doubled in his final at-bat and marked the fifth time in the streak he had hit safely in his last trip to the plate.
Reliever Fernando Salas, one of the biggest surprises of the season, pitched out of a bases-loaded, no-out spot in the eighth inning when the Cardinals led just 6-3. Salas, who has 11 saves in 12 tries, allowed a run in the ninth in a rare two-inning save, but the eighth-inning escape, said Berkman, "was the turning point, for sure."
But then there was a bit
of the unexpected. Cardinals starter Jake Westbrook, a .100 hitter with one run
batted in this season, drove in three runs with one swing. Third baseman Daniel Descalso was walked intentionally with two out to fill the bases for Westbrook
in the fourth. But
"That was not expected," said manager Tony La Russa.
Westbrook hadn't had a hit in nearly two months. "It was a good time to get another one," he said. The intentional walk, he said, "was a good play. I just happned to run into one."
The Cardinals, who have had an intimate knowledge of the disabled list this season, lost another player, RF Allen Craig, for an undetermined period of time. Chasing a foul fly by Houston SS Clint Barmes in the first inning, Craig suffered a bruised right knee when he banged into a metal fence in front of the box seats. Craig had three stitches and is listed as "day to day."
The victory was the Cardinals' fourth in a row, tying their season high. But their perch of 12 games above .500 is their season best, and they have the best record in baseball (37-25) with 100 games left.
RHP Fernando Salas posted the first two-inning save by a Cardinals pitcher in three years. He issued a walk to the first man he faced in the eighth after rookie reliever Eduardo Sanchez had passed two hitters in a row to start the inning. But then Salas pitched out of the jam with two strikeouts and a short flyball. "I told him, 'We'll see you next week at home,' " joked manager Tony La Russa, referring to the rest Salas will need. "That was beyond the call of duty," said La Russa. "You won't see him the rest of this series, that's for sure. He's got great guts."
The Cardinals' bullpen had some control issues but also got huge strikeouts. Besides Salas' two strikeouts in the eighth, reliever Jason Motte, after forcing in a run with a hit batsman in the sixth, struck out Houston CF Michael Bourn on a 97 mile an hour fastball with the bases loaded. Motte then got a forceout on the next play to maintain a two-run lead.
