Date of Defense 2007-11-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractThe ABC transporter P-glycoprotein (Pgp) and membrane permeability are determinant factors for absorption and disposition of xenobiotics. These studies investigated the effects of potential modulators of Pgp and/or membrane function on the disposition, bioavailability and bioaccumulation of environmentally relevant pharmaceuticals, tetracycline and ivermectin, and the carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene in catfish. The pesticide dieldrin and surfactant linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) were selected as mixture components thought to have potential interactions with these determinants of disposition. Initial in situ experiments demonstrated dieldrin and tetracycline both significantly inhibited biliary excretion of Pgp prototypic substrate Rhodamine-123 in isolated perfused livers. Further, dieldrin (20µM) reduced movement of 3H-tetracycline (8.8nM) into bile (55%) to a greater extent than Pgp prototypic competitive inhibitor verapamil. In contrast to inhibitory effects in situ, a 4-week dietary dieldrin preexposure (0.1mg/day/kg body weight) increased plasma clearance (17%) and reduced tissue concentrations of 3H-tetracycline equivalents (parent and metabolites) for a single intra-aortic administration of 3H-tetracycline (8.31µg/kg body weight) in catfish. A 23% increase in the immunoreactive Pgp level in the hepatic membranes following chronic dietary dieldrin exposure was correlated with in vivo changes in disposition. Additional in situ studies demonstrated LAS treatments (1, 5, and 20µM) reduced movement of Rhodamine-123 (1µM) into bile in isolated perfused livers (18.6, 38.1 and 66.7%, respectively). Fluorescent anisotropy measurements of the corresponding hepatic membranes showed a 29.7% decrease (increase in membrane fluidity) at the 1µM LAS concentration, with little additional change evident at higher concentrations. In sequential in vivo experiments, following six daily diet administrations of 3H-ivermectin (10 µg/day/kg body weight) or 3H-benzo[a]pyrene (40 µg/day/kg body weight) starting on day 7 during a twelve-day waterborne LAS exposure (0, 100 and 300µg/l), 3H-ivermectin and 3H-benzo[a]pyrene equivalent remaining in catfish and their blood and tissue concentrations increased in a dose-dependent fashion with increasing LAS concentrations. The first study indicates dieldrin inhibited Pgp transport at the high concentration with the inductive effect upon Pgp expression predominating at the low concentration exposures in vivo. Findings of the second study suggest that LAS at environmental concentrations altered membrane permeability and/or transporter function so to increase bioaccumulation of other xenobiotics from the diet.

Fall Decorating with Dried Beans: Cheap, Easy, Cute!
I saw this post from last fall at My Heart's Desire and thought what an awesome idea! For reasons I won't get into I have an exorbitant amount of dried beans, so this was perfect for me. I picked up these tall vases at Walmart for around $4 each (if you live on the mainland you should be able to find them for cheaper) and a bag of cheap popcorn kernels for about $1.50. Everything else I had on hand. Even so, a few bags of beans should only set you back a couple bucks!
From the top down is: black beans, navy beans, pinto beans, popcorn kernels, and green lentils.
I played around stacking the bags on top of one another until I found a color scheme I liked. I love the colors!
I grabbed a cheap bag of raffia too and mixed up the green and yellow. I gave up on a bow and just went for a knot.
That's it! Pour the beans in one color at a time and then decorate with a bit of twine or raffia. This project is so simple, you can really play around with it!
The beans also gave me an idea for where I keep my spatulas and spoons. I use a vase that used to have some really ugly beads in it. I love this mix of black eyed peas and pinto beans!
Easy peasy! If you give this a try let me know! I'd love to hear about your adaptation!

I'm going to try this! I have a ton of vases that I was saving for decorations, but I didn't know what I was going to do exactly. Thanks for sharing! I'll let you know how this turns out!ReplyDelete
These are beautiful! I am going to make some this weekend, thanks for the idea!ReplyDelete
this is so pretty! I definitely need to make some of these for my tables!ReplyDelete
I do love these if only I could get the rest of the junk off my tables!ReplyDelete

YouTube Reinstates Metal Gear Video Konami Took Down, Warns Konami Not To Be Jerks
from the solid dept
This time, however, is different. Super Bunnyhop challenged the takedown with a notice to Google and Google responded by both reinstating the video and warning Konami to stop screwing around. After reinstating the video, here is what YouTube sent to Konami.
It's a standard notice Google sends out when takedowns aren't on the level, but it's still nice to see. Not only does the letter let Konami know YouTube is concerned over the bullshit takedown, but it also helpfully gave the company a quick primer on fair use. There is some polite language requesting additional information should Konami still want to claim the video to be infringement, but any cursory glance ought to be enough to know that the whole thing falls under fair use. YouTube also sent Super Bunnyhop a notice that the video had been reinstated.
"This may be the first time YouTube has quickly stepped in and reviewed a bogus copyright claim for a gaming video," [Super Bunnyhop] said to me over email. "If that's the case, then my situation may be breaking new ground, and this could be good news for YouTubers everywhere."Yeah, there's actually no real new ground being broken here. YouTube sends these letters out all the time and it reinstates videos like this when the takedown is crap as well. That said, every fair use victory is a step in the right direction and it's worth reminding everyone out there that the takedown doesn't have to be the end of the story for non-infringing videos. Sometimes intellectual property is used for censorship and there is little anyone can do about it. But that's not always the case and it's important to fight it wherever possible.

@plushpinkallure fills us in on what's new from Two Faced Cosmetics. . .
For those of you who aren't already infatuated with the magic that is Too Faced Cosmetics, prepare yourself as its new spring collection jump starts your addiction! The line includes 5 new compacts and beauty's newest craze — the beauty balm. Every girl's goal is to look glamorous, yet natural. The Natural at Night palette in particular caught my eye.
The mix of 9 warm, shimmery and matte tones give eyes that seductive allure for a night out on the town without looking overdone. As always, included with the kits you will find easy-to-follow "how to" cards to help with color combinations during application. Girls, how helpful are these?!
In keeping with demand, Too Faced has also created a new "BB Cream" in 4 shades ranging from light skin tones to deep. It is oil free and has a chemical free SPF 20 UVA/UVB sunscreen. Able to be worn on its own or under foundation, the anti aging balm helps to promote cell health and improve skin's elasticity. No doubt, Too Faced has us covered this spring — with a natural look of ease and simplicity. Whether it's a sophisticated matte eye, or a shimmery yet natural gloss — the line offers several of the season's crush worth looks.

People in the Muslim world are often quick to believe in sinister Jewish plots that seek to control the world since to many, there is an entity known as "Jews." No such entity exists anymore than a "Muslim" world is present in our lives. Within each group of humans, there are differing views and factions. A boat named, Irene, will carry activists from Europe and Israel from Turkish Cyprus toward Gaza in defiance of an Israel blockade. Reuven Moskowitz, a Holocaust survivor,(the one President Ahmadinejad claims never occurred) said he was duty bound to attempt the voyage even at age 82. "It is a sacred duty for me, as a (Holocaust) survivor, to protest against the persecution, the oppression and the imprisonment of so many people in Gaza, including more than 800,000 children." Members of the party have promised not to physically respond to any Israel action. What does this journey tell the world? It makes clear there are many Jews who disagree with actions of the Netanyahu government in relation to the blockade of Gaza and refusal to halt settlement construction.
I wonder how the Israel government will explain the presence of Holocaust survivors in those fighting for the rights of Gazans.

About U.S. Natural Gas Pipelines - Transporting Natural Gas
based on data through 2007/2008 with selected updates
On the interstate pipeline grid, the long-distance, wide-diameter (20-42 inch), high capacity trunklines carry most of the natural gas that is transported throughout the nation. In 2007, more than 36 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (Tcf) was transported by interstate pipeline companies on behalf of shippers. The 30 largest interstate pipeline systems transported about 81 percent (29.8 Tcf) of the total. In many instances, natural gas must be routed through several interstate pipeline systems before it reaches it final destination.
The interstate portion of national natural gas pipeline network represents about 71 percent of all natural gas mainline transmission mileage installed in the United States. The 30 largest interstate pipeline companies own about 77 percent of all interstate natural gas pipeline mileage and about 72 percent of the total capacity (183 billion cubic feet) available within the interstate natural gas pipeline network.
Some of the largest levels of pipeline capacity exist on those natural gas pipeline systems that link the natural gas production areas of the U.S. Southwest with the other regions of the country. Sixteen of the thirty largest U.S. natural gas pipeline systems originate in the Southwest Region, with four additional ones depending heavily upon supplies from the region.
Today, almost every major metropolitan area in the United States is supplied by, or is the final destination of, one or more of the major interstate pipeline companies or their affiliates. For instance,
New York City is a major delivery point on several
of the largest pipeline systems, including:
In the Midwest, Chicago, Illinois, is served by:

Discovered Toilet Flange is Missing
Hello I'm working on retiling my bathroom floor and when I removed the toilet I found that it was not bolted to the ground. I also came to find out that the flange is completely missing! The previous homeowner installed the toilet with nothing but the wax ring.
I can't ignore this problem so I'll be replacing the flange today but it looks like my pipe is pretty corroded, is this something that is going to bite me in the butt if I put a flange in it and call it a day? See attached pictures. Corrosion seems to be at the 9 o clock area.
It is a problem question is how long before the problem becomes a problem, i would have the complete system inspected Via camera before you invest money on remodeling, at some point that cast iron is going to have to come out.
I have a customer that bought a foreclosed home last year,, beautiful house built in the 60's gutted it and went through it from top to bottom,spent a fortune on it, only thing over looked was the drainage under the floor. long story short they finished moved in and a week later stoppages, we inspected the lines and found that all the piping under the slab is bad and needs to be replaced, talk about a guy flipping out, :furious::censored::cry::wallbash:
That CI is in really bad condition, and will hinder flow severely. I would Replace it.

Lloyd, captain of World Cup-winning teams in 1975 and 1979, has been appointed a consultant to coach Bennett King and Lara during the 10-nation event, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said in a statement on Tuesday.
"He has agreed to make himself accessible to captain, coach and manager to assist in any way which will build morale, strengthen performance and encourage a stronger culture of professionalism and discipline," the statement said.
Lloyd, 62, quit the game in 1985 after scoring 7,515 runs in 110 Tests and 1,977 runs in 87 one-day internationals. He led the West Indies to a record 36 wins in 74 Tests between 1974 and 1985.
"Lloyd will serve the dual purpose of WICB representative, to explore opportunities for additional games next year as well as to make his vast experience available to the team," the statement added.
"It is something we've done before and we know that Clive's vast experience in leading victorious West Indian teams in the past would be an additional asset to the touring team."
The West Indies, who slipped in rankings after winning the 2004 Champions Trophy in England, play Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe in the qualifying rounds this time.
They meet Zimbabwe in their first match on October 8 in Ahmedabad.
The top two sides will advance to the main draw that features world champions Australia, India, England, South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan.
The tournament opens on October 7 at Mohali with a match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

After defeats against Uruguay and Ghana, England needed to beat Uzbekistan convincingly and still hope other results went their way.
But they only edged a 1-1 share of the spoils – thanks to Alex Nimely's late leveler.
However, Eastick insists valuable lessons have still been learned.
"To play in a World Cup is a tremendous experience for any young footballer," he said
"I believe that all of the players who have been here will go back to their clubs as better players because of it.
"Since our preparations in Cyprus, their application has been good, they've conducted themselves very well and worked very, very hard.
"The players that were here have played to their maximum. I think we could've done better in creating more and I do think we lacked a bit of cutting edge."
Eastick also insisted he has 'no complaints' about England's exit, following their previous performances.
"Ghana and Uruguay are without doubt the best two sides in this group and they've rightly progressed," he added.
"I asked the players for a better performance against Uzbekistan and that's what we got."

Memo to Marissa: It's A-OK to WFH.e_darrellj | Feb 25, 2013
In case you missed the latest hoopla, Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer has gotten herself in a wee-bit of hot water from a recently-leaked memo. See story
The note, issued through the company's HR Department, explains that beginning this summer Yahoo!'s over 11,500 employees can no longer work from home. Period.
Even if the cable guy is coming!
This includes not only staffers near the Yahoo! HQ who WFH in their plaid pajamas on the occasional Fridays, but also employees who live hundreds of miles from the nearest Yahoo! office. Which means these workers will have to unplug their modems and relocate to a new city just to keep their jobs.
And, after all this turmoil and expense, these Yahoos won't even be able to get cable TV. Because who's going to be there to let the cable guy in? Yes, we're talking about the fall of civilization here.
But in all seriousness, needless to say, the backlash has been swift. Since we're not one to swoop down on a person when they're having a tough go of it, we would simply like to let Marissa know that, thank you very much, working from home works.
If you're reading this Marissa, rest assured that freelancers and businesses alike on Elance are quite happy with the whole online working arrangement. In fact, our own studies (and many, many other studies) prove that people who work from home are happier, more productive and do a better job. Just browse our most-recent global business survey or global freelancer survey for a quick glimpse of the future of work. You'll see why people at Elance Work Differently and how it enhances their lives and livelihood.
Ironically, Maynard Webb recently wrote about this very subject in his book Rebooting Work. Why is this ironic? Because Maynard sits on the Yahoo! Board of Directors.
Hmmm? Maybe with so much happening at Yahoo! it's hard for Marissa to hear what's coming through loud and clear to the rest of us. Online work is here to stay, so enjoy it and embrace it.
Thanks for listening Marissa. Have a nice day, and feel free to WFH tomorrow. You deserve it.

Yarn-bombing is now a popular pursuit across the country, but it usually involves decorating things like streetlamps and railings with bunting.
However, some very different guerrilla knitting has popped up in part of north-east England - and it has caused great delight and hilarity among local people.
Employees of the Sunnyfield House Community Centre in Guisborough arrived one morning to find a host of knitted gnomes in the facility's gardens, the Gazette Live reports.
However, they weren't fishing like your average garden gnome. Instead, they were doing naughty things like baring their derrieres and karate chopping each other.
The display was a mystery for a short while, but it was soon revealed that the Guisborough Knitwits were behind the yarn-bombing after they owned up.
Member Pam Wilson explained that they had done a teddy bears' picnic for the community centre last year and got a lot of satisfaction from it.
"We wanted to do another one and make sure that it was something cheerful for the summer - and something a bit cheeky," she added.
The project took a few weeks to complete and each Knitwit put their own stamp on the gnomes, using different needles and coloured yarn for a distinctive effect.
Pam hopes the high-profile prank will encourage more crafters of all ages to join the Guisborough Knitwits.
Meanwhile, up in Scotland, knitters have also embarked on an initiative to create woolly characters - although theirs are not a secret.
Fisherrow Community Centre is holding a unique Knitted Boat exhibition in May and it is inviting East Lothian residents to make knitted herring and other sea creatures to go alongside it, the East Lothian News reports.
Workshops will be taking place so people can get together and do their projects, or characters can simply be dropped off at designated venues for collection.
To find out more and join in yourself, visit customshouse.co.uk/followtheherring.
We'd love to see pictures of the characters you're knitting this spring!

Exhaust pipe distance
I have a natural gas furnace and a NG hot water heater. The 2" ABS exhausts are going to have to move a little before I put up the new deck. One option is to bring both out through a common joist bay. Is there any rule for minimum distance between two exhausts?
Depends on the manufacturers install directions but generally the problem only occurs if there is an intake for the furnace involved. Then there is the possibility of the exhaust from either of them being sucked into the intake and damaging the furnace. 2 exhausts won't fight or harm each other but the real answer is with the install manual info as that is what the inspectors refer 2 now.
You mean 2" 636 PVC correct? white 2" pipe... Two exhausts like Yuri said shouldnt be an issue. If you also have to re-route the intake though it needs to be at least 12' away from the exhast pipes
Thank you.
Its all ABS original to the house. A quick search explained to me that S636 is now normally required. Its will likely be easier to replace what is there rather than modify it, so I can take this opportunity to upgrade to the S636.
there is a special ABS to 636 transition glue you must use to attach to the piece at the furnace. I saw 3" 636 at HDepot but not 2". check yours.

As Oscar night approaches one of the questions that has kept coming back to me is this: "Is a social network a spiritual network?"The answer is not a simple one and perhaps it isn't a question that has an answer that will work for all time.

Is a Social Network a Spiritual Network?
One of the prevailing problems for all of us spiritually is that our experiences define and delimit our understanding of the spiritual life.

Best Cheap Ranges
Published on By Elizabeth Sheer
GE JBS55DM Review
(From $495.00 Best)
Best Electric Range. With its smooth cook-top and extra-large manual-clean oven, this budget range is feature rich. Users say it cooks and bakes evenly, and they appreciate the light indicating when a burner is still hot, even when turned off.
For a low-cost electric range, the GE JBS55DM (starting at $495, Amazon) delivers a lot. Chief among the notable features is the smooth cooktop. According to GE JBS55DM reviews, most home cooks wouldn't have it any other way. Several reviews posted at Lowe's mention the ease of cleaning and others commend the aesthetics, saying the ceramic glass surface looks far more attractive than the traditional (and some would argue, unsightly) electric coils. One user notes in a review at Home Depot that it's easy to forget this budget range is an appliance and to treat it like a countertop. (Note to consumers: This is not a good idea.) The cooking chops of the GE JBS55DM also earn a fair bit of praise, with many reviewers reporting that the controls are responsive (both boiling and simmering are easily achieved) and the oven browns and bakes evenly.
Some GE JBS55DM reviews, however, are somewhat muted. Detractors say the cooktop scratches easily and food takes a long time to cook, ostensibly because the heating elements don't get hot enough. A few reviews at Consumer Reports say the oven is slow to preheat and others assert it doesn't come up to the desired temperature. Grousing about the need for flat-bottomed pans and special cleaning solution occasionally pops up in reviews.
In addition to the flat cooktop, the GE JBS55DM boasts several appealing features. The oven is a large 5.3 cubic feet and sports a broiling element at the top that can be set to variable temperatures, a large window in the door, and a Sabbath mode setting, which keeps the oven going beyond the usual 12-hour safety shut-down. (The oven is not self-cleaning, a deficiency that slightly disappoints some users.) There are two 6-inch elements (1,500 watts each) and two 8-inch elements (2,000 watts each) and a hot-surface indicator light. The GE JBS55DM also features a digital temperature display and clock. It's available in white, black, stainless steel, and "clean steel" finishes and comes with the standard one-year warranty.
You won't find many bells and whistles on this electric range, but consumers are impressed with the overall quality and usability. For the price, it's hard to beat.
Frigidaire FGF348KS Review
(From $539.00 Best)
Best Gas Range. A five-burner gas stove with heavy, cast iron grates is a surprise at this price. The oven is on the small side, but consumers thrill to the extra oval-shaped burner, even cooking, and simple electronic controls.
The Frigidaire FGF348KS (starting at $539) is a relatively snazzy gas stove with a comparatively frugal price and estimable performance. Frigidaire FGF348KS reviews at Lowe's give this model points for the heavy, continuous cast iron grates; an oval, fifth burner at the center of the stovetop; accurate oven temperatures that yield evenly-baked foods; and steady heat output from the burners. Although one review quibbles that the high-power burner is insufficiently hot for Asian cooking, another says the flames burn hotter than the coils on an electric stove the reviewer had used previously. The sealed burners and grates (dishwasher safe) are easy to clean, assert reviews, and pots don't slip and slide on the cast iron. Cooks say the oval fifth burner is handy for breakfast items, stove-top barbecue, and oddly-shaped cookware.
The glitz of the stovetop is partially offset by a few compromises on the Frigidaire FGF348KS's oven. The oven on is only 4.2 cubic feet, which will require some juggling when feeding a hungry crowd, and there's no self-cleaning mode, although Frigidaire FGF348KS reviews assert oven cleanup is easy enough. The digital touchpad for the oven offers lots of settings (temperature levels can be moved up or down in 5-degree increments) but the timer beeps irritatingly until it's turned off; one review at the company website laments the absence of an automatic shut-off. The broiler is located in a low drawer beneath the oven, which may necessitate a lot of deep-knee bending.
The burners, meanwhile, offer cooks lots of versatility. There are two standard 9,500-BTU burners, one power burner with 14,000 BTUs, a simmer burner with 5,000 BTU, and the middle, oval burner with 9,500 BTUs. The Frigidaire FGF348KS also features a Sabbath mode. This model is available in white and stainless steel (the latter often priced beyond the Cheapism ceiling) and comes with a one-year warranty.
The Frigidaire FGF348KS is much admired by users, especially given the budget pricing. If you're looking for a cheap gas range and white matches the kitchen decor, this is the model to choose.

Kenmore 70402 Review
(From $360.00 Good)
Good Gas Range. This basic gas stove features a broiler in a drawer underneath the oven and four standard burners. It appeals for its simplicity but presents with some irksome design issues.
As a consumer once said about the Kenmore 70402 (starting at $360), this gas-fired model is no sleek foreign car, but a basic domestic that gets you where you need to go. Indeed, Kenmore 70402 reviews posted at Sears commend the simplicity and ease of use; who needs all those confounding features and buttons, anyway? ask several reviews. Users say the stovetop burners give out plenty of heat and the oven warms up quickly, although a few say the top part of the oven gets hotter than the bottom (a common critique of low-cost gas ovens). Cleaning, apparently, is a no-struggle affair.
But for all its positive attributes, several design elements drive consumers to distraction, according to Kenmore 70402 reviews. One is the placement of the oven vent, directly behind the burners and smack in the middle under the controls. Reviews contend it's easy to burn yourself when you need to change a setting while the oven is on. Another complaint concerns the burner grates, which users say are slick and high, so that pots slide around and a lot of heat is wasted. And finally, the broiler: located in a drawer below the oven with a tray that's difficult to adjust when the broiler is hot.
The Kenmore 70402 is relatively light on extra features. The oven requires manual cleaning and is just 4.2 cubic feet, a size that may present a challenge when preparing a large holiday meal for a crowd. There are four 9,000-BTU burners with pilotless ignition, a digital display clock, a timer, 105 oven temperature settings between 170 and 550 degrees Fahrenheit, and a beeper that signals the oven is fully heated. This stove is available in white, black, or stainless steel, and even the latter finish is priced within the Cheapism range. The Kenmore 70402 comes with the usual one-year warranty.
The awkward design elements give us some pause. If you can get past these irritants, however, the performance of this simple gas stove won't disappoint and the price will make you happy, indeed.
Where to buy
Hotpoint RB757DP Review
(From $404.00 Good)
Good Electric Range. This electric model stands out for its large self-cleaning oven, timed and delay bake, and even performance.
Hotpoint RB757DPWH reviews generally agree that this budget electric range is a worthy buy in terms of features and performance. A consumer products testing organization commends the heating abilities of both the electric coils and the oven, noting that water comes to a boil in short order, temperature-sensitive foods simmer without burning, and the oven browns foods evenly; the self-cleaning cycle also wins points for wiping out traces of sticky, gooey foods. Home users' reviews at Home Depot are likewise laudatory. They say the oven is devoid of hot and cold spots, such that pie crusts don't need to be wrapped in aluminum foil to assure a golden finish. The cooktop controls are responsive, according to reviews, and can hold stews and sauces comfortably below the boiling point.
On the other hand, a few Hotpoint RB757DPWH reviews grumble about the thin oven racks, the hard-to-clean drip pans beneath the electric coils, a storage drawer under the oven that must be pulled open from the side, and oven temperatures that don't rise to the desired setting.
Although the Hotpoint RB757DPWH (starting at $404, Amazon) is considered a basic, no-frills stove, it comes with several noteworthy features. There's a self-cleaning cycle, a timed- and delay-bake function, electronic oven controls, and a bell indicating the end of the pre-heat cycle. The oven cavity is a generous 5 cubic feet and the door sports a see-through window; the broiler is located in the oven. The cooktop holds two 6-inch (1,500 watts each) and two 8-inch burners (2,600 watts each). This model is available in white and bisque, both with black oven doors. It comes with a one-year warranty.
The consensus opinion of the Hotpoint RB757DPWH: a good, reliable electric stove at a good, affordable price

Buying Guide
Frugal consumers won't sacrifice much by opting for a cheap range. To be sure, more money spent on top-end labels such as Viking, Electrolux, and Bosch will get you more powerful and specialized burners, more precision controls and electronics, more oven racks and rack positions (and perhaps a convection mode for the oven), and lots more heft (as in weight). But even at the lower end of the market, there's value to be had in terms of features and performance. The big names in this segment include GE, Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Frigidaire, and Hotpoint, and users of the best of these inexpensive ranges are more than satisfied with the meals produced, the ease of use, and the set of features.
Cheap Ranges Buying Guide
If you're in the market for a cheap range, the first and most critical decision involves the type of heat. Assuming you have a choice -- and in many homes, you don't -- there are two options: gas or electric. In our search for the best cheap stoves, we scoped out both types. Gas ranges usually cost more upfront but are cheaper to operate and give cooks more precise control over the heat under the pots and pans. Electric ranges are often easier to clean, especially if they have a smooth cooking surface, and oven temperatures tend to be more even.
Regardless, there's no need to spend more than $600 for a good inexpensive range. The winners are all basic models that give consumers value for their money. Our top electric stove picks include the GE JBS55DM (starting at $495), with its smooth cooktop, huge oven, and good price-to-performance ratio; and the Hotpoint RB757DP (starting at $404), the opposite of snazzy but a stalwart performer, nonetheless. Among gas stoves, our favorites are the Frigidaire FGF348KS (starting at $539), another solid yet simple range that gets the job done but is burdened by a few design quirks. We kept an eye out for low price ranges that truly disappoint consumers and ultimately decided to forgo that quest because there was no strong consensus among reviewers. (Note that model numbers/letters may vary slightly from those indicated in our buying guide depending on the color, or the finish, of the unit you're looking at.)
Although budget ranges are short on frills, there is some product variation. Take the finish, for example. Stainless steel is a big seller but adds about $100 to the bottom line -- plus, it's harder to keep clean. Cheaper options are black, white, and bisque, the latter two colors less prone to tell-tale streaking and smudging.
The stove-top burners are another distinguishing characteristic. Four burners are standard for budget stoves, but occasionally a model features a fifth. The very best cheap gas stoves come with a high performance burner and/or a simmer burner, but most provide four all-purpose burners. The burners on gas stoves are either open or sealed, the latter arrangement simplifies cleanup by preventing spills from seeping under the burners. Electric ranges almost always come with two small and two large burners that suit cookware of different sizes. The biggest divide among electric ranges concerns the heating element: coiled and situated atop the stove's surface or ribbon-like and sealed underneath a flat ceramic glass surface. The price gap between these two electric modes, once quite wide, has narrowed considerably and smooth cooktops are increasingly consumers' technology of choice.
One factor that frugal consumers won't have to agonize over is the outer dimensions of the stove. The standard width of a stove is 30 inches, and How Stuff Works notes that most kitchens are designed to accommodate stoves of this size. If you need to go smaller, good luck; stoves narrower than 30 inches are hard to find. If you prefer a larger model, be prepared to shell out bigger bucks; most are priced deep into the four-digit zone. The interior dimensions of the oven on a stove, however, are up for grabs. Ovens with at least 4 cubic feet of cooking space are the norm in the budget segment, and on some cheap stoves, the interior cavity exceeds 5 cubic feet. Some low priced stoves now come with a self-cleaning cycle, but this feature may add to the price.
Ranges are available in several configurations, including freestanding, drop-in, or slide-in. (Professional-style ranges attempt to replicate the cooking performance and appearance of restaurant ranges but are way, way beyond the Cheapism niche.) But here, budget-minded shoppers don't have much choice. Freestanding stoves with fully finished sides and a backsplash holding the controls are the cheapest, and all the models we researched are freestanding. Slide-in ranges lack finished sides and fit flush between two cabinets, and cost more than double what you'd pay for a freestanding model. A drop-in range has no backsplash and sits atop a cabinet baseboard for a very built-in look; drop-in ranges are also priced far higher than the cheap ceiling.
Features Comparison Buying Guide continues below table
Range Reviews
Finding the best cheap stoves proved quite a challenge due to the paucity of range reviews for current models. As with most major and minor appliances, manufacturers discontinue models and introduce new ones all the time, although many replacements differ from their predecessors by little more than a tweak here or there.
This relatively short product cycle complicates the hunt for the best cheap stoves. We found that cheap stoves with lots of consumer feedback have disappeared from vendors' inventory and widely available newer stoves aren't yet the subject of many range reviews. We also noted that big-box retailers exhibit a fair amount of brand loyalty, such that Lowe's sells Whirlpool but Home Depot doesn't, and Sears is the exclusive on-the-ground purveyor of Kenmore ranges (although you may find a unit here and there online); local, independent retailers may be equally brand-centric. As a result, range reviews posted online are both limited in number and tend to cluster under the umbrella of just one or two sites.
Because range reviews for easy-to-find models are in short supply, our conclusions are based on a smaller number of user comments than we would otherwise prefer. Even so, the small sample of reviews suggests that consumers are relatively satisfied with their purchases: They like the value pricing and the overall performance. A few users even assert that their budget stoves compare favorably to upscale models. Chief among consumers' expectations are stoves with consistent and easy-to-control heat. Reviews also reveal that thrifty consumers favor ovens and electric burners that heat up quickly (gas burners reach the desired temperature almost immediately), oven temperatures that are true, and stoves that are intuitive and a breeze to clean. The stoves on our list hit all these notes, at least most of the time.
Based on the range reviews we read, the smooth-top electric GE JBS55DM (starting at $495) is a star performer. Consumers' comments at Best Buy cite even cooking and baking temperatures, the two high-powered 2,000-watt heating elements, and food that simmers without burning as supporting evidence. A few reviews posted on other sites, however, gripe about slow heating with the smooth ceramic glass cooktop and oven temperatures that run colder than the setting. Our second choice electric range pick, the Hotpoint RB757DP (starting at $404), earns kudos for what reviews at Home Depot describe as responsive controls, coil heating elements that actually keep food at a simmer, and perfectly baked desserts and casseroles. A consumer products testing site also notes that a large pot of water set atop one of the 8-inch burners quickly comes to a near boil. Another electric model we researched, the Kenmore 90112 (starting at $391), falls short of the other two. Range reviews at Sears consider its performance average, with some saying it heats evenly and quickly and oven temperatures are accurate, while others report that preheating takes forever and heat from the coils is uneven; the broiler, however, apparently produces a mean steak.
We identified two stand-out gas ranges, as well. The Frigidaire FGF348KS (starting at $539) wins over users with what they describe as precise controls, accurate oven settings, and heat a-plenty; one user claims a pot of water reached a boil in 90 seconds (no details on the size of the pot), although another gripes in a review at Lowe's that the flames aren't up to the demands of Asian wokery. Enthusiasm for the Kenmore 70402 (starting at $360) is a tad cooler, largely due to design issues that are discussed below. Range reviews at Sears say the oven and burners do what they should within the time specified in recipes, and for the price, it's hard to complain. The Amana AGR3311WD (starting at $385), another no-frills model we researched but didn't add to our list, disappoints some consumers. Several reviews, including one at AJ Madison, grouse that the heat can't be turned down to a simmer although other users seem to like the powerful burners.
Self Cleaning Ovens
Range reviews reveal that consumers appreciate user-friendly ranges. In other words, they don't want to feel as though they need a private tutor to figure out how to operate their stove. The models on our list generally pass this test, probably because bells and whistles are rare at the budget end of the market. Purchasers write of ranges for vacation homes or rental units (little can go wrong), for aging parents (intuitive operation), and for themselves (little time for, or interest in, fancy meal prep).
The GE JBS55DM, an electric range, has all the necessary (i.e., basic) features, say reviews, as well as dials that are easy to read and an indicator light that lets you know the surface is hot. The large window in the oven door of the Frigidaire FGF348KS pleases cooks, but the feature most often cited in users' comments about this gas ranges is the oval, fifth burner at the center of the stove top. Consumers report using this extra source of heat for pancake breakfasts, cookout-like burgers and steaks, and homemade tortillas. Users like the audible signal at the end of the preheat cycle on the electric Hotpoint RB757DP and the automatic unlock at the end of the self-clean cycle, according to posts at Home Depot; one writer, however, grouses that the oven control requires an extra step (that is, pressing "start") after the temperature is set.
Despite an overall consensus among thrifty consumers that the no-frills stoves on our list are straightforward, grumbles about design issues that interfere with usability occasionally surface. The Kenmore 70402 is a gas stove that takes a few hits for awkward design decisions: an oven vent directly under the controls at the back of the stove that spews very hot air (one consumer stresses the importance of wearing an insulated mitt if you need to adjust the controls while the oven is on), a drop-in broiler tray in a drawer near the floor that's tricky to pull out and return while the broiler is going, and high burner grates that waste heat. Slippery burner grates, hard-to-see temperature settings on the oven dial, and the lack of a window in the oven door on the Amana AGR3311WD, another gas stove, irritate some users. And for all the appeal of the smooth ceramic cooktop on the GE JBS55DM, some consumers chafe at having to use flat-bottom pans and special cleaning products on this electric stove
Ranges Cleanup.Ease of cleaning crops up occasionally in consumer reviews, and when it does, our top picks post impressive scores. The smooth ceramic cooktop on the GE JBS55DM, with its under-the-surface heating elements, is a big draw for consumers all too familiar with the drudgery of cleaning coils and drip pans on traditional electric stoves. Most reviews of this model posted on Best Buy say cleanup is a breeze, although several claim that boil-overs bake on and require a spot of elbow grease to remove. Not surprisingly, several reviews of the Hotpoint RB757DP assert that cleaning the metal drip pans is a chore and others report they stain easily and need frequent replacement; one user recommends buying porcelain-on-steel drip pans instead and running them through the oven's self-cleaning cycle.
Self-sealed gas burners of the type found on the Fridgidaire FGF348KC and Amana AGR3311WD are a housekeeping boon. Many gas stoves now feature this design, which keeps crumbs and spills on the surface and turns cleanup into a relative picnic. Although the Kenmore 70402 features open burners, users insist it's easy to clean.
Self-cleaning ovens, once a frill reserved for high-end ranges, are increasingly common in the budget segment. Among the models on our list, only the electric Hotpoint RB757DP boasts a self-cleaning oven; one cook reports on Viewpoints that this feature leaves the oven sparkling. The other electric stoves and gas stoves we researched all require manual cleaning, but the task doesn't seem to be onerous. One user of the Kenmore 70402 writes that a dab of oven cleaner made quick work of pie filling that ran over, and a user of the Frigidaire FGF348KC writes in a post on the company website that cleanup is accomplished in a matter of minutes. Still, a number of reviewers of these models say they would have preferred a self-cleaning oven, although its absence wasn't a deal-breaker.
Range Electric controls, Size and Durability
Electronic controls are among the standard range features on most ovens, including those in the budget segment. All the cheap ovens we researched, but for the Amana AGR3311WD, feature an electronic touch pad for the oven. One virtue of an electronic touch pad is the large number of possible oven-temperature settings; the Kenmore 70402 and Kenmore 90112, for example, offer 105 options between 170 and 550 degrees Fahrenheit (as with the cheap oven in the Frigidaire FGF348KS, settings can be changed in five-degree increments). One frequent complaint about the Amana AGR3311WD is that the dial for the oven temperature is marked in 50 degree increments, which makes for lots of guesswork when a precise oven temperature is called for. Do note, though, that if the electricity goes out, you won't be able to operate any part of an electric stove, including the cheap oven; on a gas range, you'll at least be able to get the top burners going with a match.
Additional range features, such as automatic oven shut-off and time delay, give cooks lots of flexibility. But these are rare features in the bargain stove market. Among the models on our list, only the Hotpoint RB57DB boasts a timed- and delayed-bake function. Both the GE JBS55DM and Frigidaire FGF348KS feature a Sabbath mode on the cheap oven, which overrides the automatic shut-off so that the oven will stay on for more than 12 hours.
Range Size.Most kitchen layouts are designed for cheap stoves that measure 30 inches across. All the freestanding ranges we researched meet this standard.
Another indicator of size is oven space, measured in cubic feet. Experts at CNET correlate oven size with the number of people living in the home: 2 to 3 cubic feet for one or two people; 3 to 4 cubic feet for three or four people; and more than 4 cubic feet for four or more people. Even so, a small family with a big baking habit might want to opt for a larger cheap oven. The good news for frugal shoppers is that all of the 30-inch ranges on our list provide at least 4 cubic feet of oven space; the GE JBS55DM boasts the largest cavity (5.3 cubic feet) and the Kenmore 70402 has the smallest (4.2 cubic feet).
Ranges Durability.Durability rarely surfaced in the reviews we read for cheap ovens, perhaps because users were posting about newly acquired stoves. But according to the experts at ATD Home Inspection, the life expectancy of a gas range slightly exceeds that of an electric range (15-17 years compared with 13-15 years). We did, however, note a few reports about a faulty electronic ignition on the Amana AGR3311WD, which apparently sparked but didn't light the gas flame. The smooth ceramic cooktop on the GE JBSDMWW presents a durability quandary of sorts. Some consumers grouse about the high cost of replacement if it breaks -- an unlikely but occasional occurrence. One consumer reports at Lowe's that a dropped bottle shattered the cooktop and the repair almost equaled the price of a new stove.
Additional Products We Considered
Amana AGR3311WD
(From $341.00 )
There's not much beyond the basics on the gas-fueled Amana AGR3311WD (starting at $385, Amazon), and there's not much to commend it, either. Amana AGR3311WD reviews at Home Depot give it a pass for the price and the simplicity. Users say heat from the burners is consistent and powerful and food cooks evenly (including whatever is put in the oven). Reviews also indicate that cooks value the easy-to-clean sealed burners and white finish and the user-friendly, bare-bones package. One purchaser happily reported that converting it for use with propane was a simple process.
What consumers don't like, according to Amana AGR3311WD reviews, are the slippery burner grates, the awkward placement of too few temperature markings (in 50-degree increments) on the bottom of the oven dial, and a fickle electronic ignition that sometimes shoots out sparks instead of lighting the stovetop flames. A post on AJ Madison notes that the unit was returned because the burners couldn't be turned down to a simmer.
The Amana AGR3311WD is about as simple a stove as you can get. There are four 9,500-BTU burners, a 4.4-cubic-foot oven with two racks and five rack positions, and a drop-down broiler located under the oven. There is neither clock nor timer -- the only electronics are found on the ignition -- and there's no window to check the oven's progress. The controls are positioned at the front of the stove, making it ADA-compliant. This model is available in white only and comes with the standard one-year warranty.
The price of the Amana AGR3311WD falls clearly within the cheap bracket. For just about the same investment, though, you can find gas ranges with more features and more reliable performance.
Where to buy
Kenmore 90112
(From $391.00 )
Most Kenmore 90112 reviews say the quality of this cheap electric stove is passable, as is the overall value. Although some reviews posted at Sears say the oven takes a while to preheat and is not always accurate, others report it heats evenly and bakes up a storm. And without a self-cleaning cycle, a few consumers gripe that the oven is hard to clean. Carping about uneven heat on the electric coils crops up in a couple of reviews, but others say they work fine.
Aside from its low price, the Kenmore 90112 (starting at $391) draws in consumers with its simplicity (limited electronics) and flexibility (burners in two sizes). The broiling function and high and low heat settings on the stovetop earn a nod from a consumer products testing organization. One user post on Sears, however, says that any temperature setting above the fifth of 10 options leaves the coils burning too hot.
The Kenmore 90112 comes with a standard, and basic, array of features. There are four coil elements (two 8-inch elements with 2,100 watts each and two 6-inch elements with 1,250 watts each), and a (large) 4.9-cubic-foot manual-clean oven. A digital panel controls the oven, which offers 105 temperature settings between 170 and 550 degrees Fahrenheit. There's also a timer with a buzzer but no automatic oven shut-off; some users contend the buzzer beeps too low to hear from even a short distance. The broiler is located in the oven and there's a storage door underneath. This model is available in white, black, and stainless steel and is backed by a one-year warranty.
The Kenmore 90112 is one of the few stoves so inexpensively priced that the stainless steel version costs less than $500, even when not on sale. Without a strong consensus about it, however, other models may be safer bets.

The Inland Revenue has given a 14-day extension to people who experienced technical difficulties in submitting self-assessment tax returns online before the 31 January deadline.

Demand for the service running up to the deadline delayed the Revenue's attempts to send out validation to those filing tax returns online. The Revenue admitted that those who failed the validation might not have had time to rectify the return because of the delay and waived the £100 late penalty in those circumstances.
A spokeswoman for the Revenue said, "The systems were not running as fast as usual because of the volume of traffic. Nine million tax returns were issued in April. We would not be able to say how many would choose to return online in the run-up to the deadline."
The Revenue said that by 31 January the problems had been resolved and it had records of all who had sent returns before then. In the days leading up to the deadline it was receiving up to 30,000 returns each day. The spokeswoman could not say if there would be an enquiry into the problems, or if the systems would be upgraded before next year's deadline.

Just wanted to share the diary entry for my brofur Buddee on his paw. He wants effuryone to know he appreciates and loves them. Here's his entry:
I just want to say thank you once again to all that have been purring and purraying for me to get better!!! I am almost back to normal with my foot. I still favor it a bit and will hold it up or fold it under when I'm sitting or eating. I still am limping a bit, but nowhere near as badly as I was and sometimes it is not even noticeable unless you look closely.
I owe effuryone a huge thank you and want you all to know that me and my Meowma and furamily love you all!
Purrs and Love,
Meowma and my earth brofur, Buddee, would like you to all read his latest diary entry. He could use some purrs and I am sprinkling some healing angel dust for him as Meowma types this for me.
Thank you all!

I'm watching my two remaining fursibling sisfurs as they celebrate their 10th birthday today! I would have been 10 too if, well, we won't go there on this happy day for Blaze and Little Blaze. If anyone wants to know about me and my brofur and other two sisfurs all they have to do is read my story.
In any case, the angel dust I sprinkle is for my sisfurs on earth and Meowma who so dearly loves us. Happiness is all I wish for them and the peace and contentment they so deserve.

Big US restaurant chains get sucked into China meat scam
Jul 22 2014 , Shanghai
McDonald's Corp and KFC's parent Yum Brands Inc apologised to Chinese customers on Monday after it emerged that Shanghai Husi Food Co, a unit of US-based OSI Group, had supplied expired meat to the two chains.
On Tuesday, Starbucks said some of its cafes previously sold products containing chicken originally sourced from Shanghai Husi, a firm that was shut down on Sunday by local regulators after a TV report showed staff using expired meat and picking up meat from the floor to add to the mix.
A Tokyo-based spokes-man at McDonald's Holdings Co (Japan) said the company had sourced about a fifth of its Chicken McNuggets from Shanghai Husi and had halted sales of the product on Monday. Alternative supplies of chicken have been found in Thailand and China, he added. The company's shares briefly fell as much as 1.4 per cent to a 15-month low before closing down 0.4 per cent.
China's food watchdog said it ordered regional offices to carry out spot checks on all firms which had used Shanghai Husi products, and would inspect all of parent OSI's sites around China to see if enough has been done to ensure food safety. It said the case could be handed over to the police.
The regulator's Shanghai branch said in a statement on Tuesday it had demanded production, quality control and sales records from OSI. It added it already ordered McDonald's to seal over 4,500 boxes of suspected meat products and Yum's Pizza Hut to seal over 500 boxes of beef.
Fast-food chain Burger King and Dicos, China's third-ranked fast food chain owned by Ting Hsin International, said they would remove Shanghai Husi food products from their outlets. Pizza chain Papa John's International said on its Weibo blog that it had taken down all meat products supplied by Shanghai Husi and cut ties with the supplier.
Food safety is one of the top issues for Chinese consumers after a scandal in 2008 where dairy products tainted with the industrial chemical melamine led to the deaths of six infants and made many thousands sick. Other food scandals have hit the meat and dairy industries in recent years, and many Chinese look to foreign brands as offering higher safety standards.
China is McDonald's third-biggest market by number of restaurants and Yum's top market by revenue. McDonald's is due to report quarterly earnings later on Tuesday.
The scare has stirred local consumers and become one of the most discussed topics online among the country's influential 'netizens', with some users spreading long lists of firms thought to be tarnished.
The incident highlights the difficulty in ensuring quality and safety along the supply chain in China. Wal-Mart Stores came under the spotlight early this year after a supplier's donkey meat product was found to contain fox meat. It also came under fire for selling expired duck meat in 2011.
Starbucks said on its Chinese microblog site that it had no direct business relationship with Shanghai Husi, but that some of its chicken acquired from another supplier had originally come from Husi for its 'Chicken Apple Sauce Panini' products. This had been sold in 13 different provinces and major cities. The company added that all the products had already been removed from its shelves.
Burger King said in a Weibo statement posted late on Monday that it had taken off its shelves all meat products supplied by Shanghai Husi Food and had launched an investigation.

Gilded logo celebrates discoverer of King Tutankhamun's tomb
Source: washingtonpost.com"Yes, wonderful things."
Google 'Doodle' for May 9, 2012
Those were the reported words of Howard Carter nearly 90 years ago when the English archaeologist — asked by the Earl of Carnarvon whether he could see anything — finally cast his eyes on the tomb of Tutankhamun, and the golden objects therein.
Today, Google visually unveils some wonderful things itself to celebrate the 138th birthday of the celebrated Egyptologist, who gained lasting fame with the 1922 discovery of the tomb and the subsequent, laborious excavation. The homepage Doodle depicts just a few of the thousands of objects that were removed from the tomb — a process that took the better part of a decade and stirred the public imagination.
Carter — born May 9. 1874, in London — had been searching for the burial sites of ancient pharaohs for nearly three decades when he led the discovery of the 18th-dynasty of Tutankhamun's tomb, more than 3,000 years after the boy king was laid to rest.
Carter came to Egypt as a teenager, and was named first chief inspector of the Egyptian Antiquities Service while in his 20s, but his greatest find would elude him till November 1922, when a worker found the steps to the secret tomb.
What Carter found among those wonderful things was a remarkably intact tomb — unplundered like so many other sites in the Valley of the Kings. The Doodle suggests the sheer variety of the unearthed objects. (As an artist, Carter — the son of a painter — was also skilled at replicating these ancient artifacts.)
"In the dim light they could see the glint of gold everywhere," wrote the New York Times in Carter's obituary. "As the scene grew clearer, a whole roomful of objects came into view — couches, chairs, alabaster vases, chariots, a throne, stools and chests, all glistening with inlay and gold, and a sealed doorway leading still beyond. When the doorway was opened a wall of gold was revealed — the side of an immense gilt shrine shielding the sarcophagus of the buried king."
By entering Tutankhamun's tomb, Carter also soon entered popular culture — as his discovery minted him as a global celebrity, and his name popped up in music and, in time, on the screen. He was a real-life Indiana Jones.
Carter died in London in 1939 (of lymphoma), at age 64, his fame assured not only because of his finding the tomb, but also because Tutankhamun's artifacts continue to hold our profound fascination and curiosity.
Happy birthday, Howard Carter. Dig your work.

Newly adopted 2 yr old girl GSD cat aggressive and possibly baby aggressive
Hello! I need some advice, seriously quick.
I recently adopted a 2 year old GSD to train as a service dog. She is spayed, was very friendly with my 14 month old daughter when I went to meet her, and I was told that she had a high prey drive towards the lady's yorkie, meaning she would attack at the slightest chance. I have no other dogs, she had cats (outside), so I assumed that she could be worked with.
I brought Sissy home; when it came to meeting the cats she instantly got that prey stare, stance, and the second my cats moved she lunged and barked insanely. I've broken other dogs of cat aggression, but Sissy seems different.
Several hours later, she is following me around and we come across the cat on the table and she again lunges and barks while having that stare and tending up before the lunge, like obsession. I get in between, tell her to leave it and put her in a sit, then praise her when a moment later she ignores the cat.
Later in the evening, I'm throwing a toy for her and my little daughter falls and starts to cry. Sissy rushes over, starts to lick her, then appears to try to dominant mount her or herd her, I couldn't tell which. (if not so scary it would be funny, such a big girl trying to figure out how to "herd" the baby). I instantly pick up my daughter and see that sissy is trying to grab her pie I'm dangling a toy in front of her. (horrified at this point).
A couple of minutes later I took Sissy out, when I brought her back in , I again let my daughter play on the floor, she goes up to Sissy, Sissy licks her, again gets excited and when I pick up my daughter she again looks like she its trying to nip at my baby.
I'm unfamiliar with this dog, I don't trust her yet (if ever) around my cats, but a deal breaker and a trip back to her old owner would be child aggression. Is she trying to hurt my daughter or herd her? How do I stop this behavior and effectively teach her to "leave it" with my cats and child?
Sissy is otherwise very well behaved, she already seems attached to me, but as badly as I actually need a service dog (and truly can't afford to go through conventional methods of buying one, my options right now are self training which I have experience with or finding a donated one), I will not jeopardize my child or my cats.
Can this behavior towards my daughter be corrected? Towards my cats? Take her back?
Please help?
