Decorah Public Library is hosting a book discussion about New York Times bestselling author Sarah Addison Allen's second novel, "The Sugar Queen," Thurs. May 28 at 7 pm. Copies of the book are available for check-out at the front desk of the library. The discussion is open to all ages and refreshments will be served.
About "The Sugar Queen:" Twenty-seven-year-old Josey Cirrini is sure of three things: winter in her North Carolina hometown is her favorite season, she's a sorry excuse for a Southern belle, and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her hidden closet. For while Josey has settled into her mother's house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each night… Until she finds her closet harboring none other than local waitress and Della Lee Baker, a tough-talking, tenderhearted woman who is one part nemesis- and two parts fairy godmother.
With Della Lee's help, Josey begins to step outside herself little by little, and discovers a world where the color red has an astonishing power, passion can make eggs fry in their cartons, and romance can blossom at any time- even for her. Brimming with warmth, wit, and a sprinkling of magic, here is a tale of friendship, love- and the enchanting possibilities of every new day.
Author Sarah Addison Allen lives in Asheville, North Carolina. She is also the author of bestselling "Garden Spells" and the forthcoming "The Girl Who Chased the Moon," due out in early 2010.

If you are serious about learning Japanese, it is essential that you learn hiragana, the Japanese phonetic alphabet. Hiragana is one of three character sets used in the Japanese language, the other 2 are katakana and kanji.
Each hiragana character or letter represents a single vowel or sound, and unlike kanji, the letter itself has no meaning. The basic Japanese language is composed of 46 hiragana letters, but it doesn't stop there, you'll also need to learn additional letters. Those letters are modified hiragana characters and represent additional sounds: 20 dakuon, 5 handakuon and 36 youon.
In the hiragana chart found in the following pages, you'll have access to the whole hiragana list of characters along with their sounding equivalent and 2 word usage examples. We hope that our free hiragana chart will really help your journey to learn the Japanese alphabet.
With our easy to use hiragana chart, you'll learn to write and read Japanese in no time and see that hiragana is not too difficult to master! Are you ready to start learning the first 46 hiragana letters?
Dakuon are basic hiragana characters, but with two small dots or "dakuon marker", thus forming a new sound. Visit this section for a complete access to our easy to use dakuon chart.

1. American Sail Inc.
if you're looking for small sailboats, daysailers or catamarans you have come to the right place. Our specialty for over thirty years has been making fun family sailboats from 8 to 18 feet. American Sail got its start in 1976 with the purchase of the Aqua Cat catamaran that has now been in production over 48 years and was recently inducted into the National Sailboat Hall of Fame. Over the years, we have grown to offer many more sailboats in our line including a larger version of the Aqua Cat, the Dink line of yacht dinghies, and four daysailers that are the Aqua Finn Daysailer, Pennant Daysailer, American 14.6 and 18 Daysailers.
2. Aquarius Sails Inc.
For over 15 years Aquarius Sail has been utilizing carbon fiber in the construction of their high performance catamarans and the spars that are used on them. Carbon spars are available in two cross sections and lengths up to 50 feet. Smaller spars utilize a solid carbon fiber construction while the larger spars typically utilize a hybrid carbon fiber - foam core construction which produce unequaled weight and stiffness/bend characteristics that are optimized for you application.
3. Catamaran sailboat manufacturers
Catamarans are one of the most popular light, sailing vessels amongst sailors and manufacturers of sailboats. They are usually known as pleasure boats and are remarkable for their speed and power. Manufacturers have also made efforts to keep the popularity of catamarans high on the list of sailors by creating a wide range of models. Some catamarans are as small as fourteen feet and some larger than 35 feet. They could also have a capacity of hundreds of people on its deck. However, as international catamaran manufacturers now make them, catamarans are power boats and not paddle boats. There are a few wood models still around, but most of the new ones are made of fibre glass or PVC.
4. Baltic Yachts
Baltic Yachts is a company which constructs advanced and luxurious sailing yachts. It is located in the municipality of Larsmo in Finland, where it also is the largest employer.The sailing boats constructed are between 50 feet (15 m) and 197 feet (60 m). Advanced and light materials, such as carbon fiber and Kevlar. carbon fiber consist of extremely thin fibers about 0.0050.010 mm in diameter and composed mostly of carbon atoms. Kevlar is a strong para-aramid synthetic fiber and is the registered trademark for a light.
5. Pacific Seacraft Corporation
Pacific Seacraft Corporation is a Washington, North Carolina based sailboat manufacturer specializing in fiberglass monohull cruising boats. Pacific Seacraft is best known for producing the Crealock line of sailboats. These are heavy, overbuilt offshore cruising designs designed by William Crealock. Crealocks are distinctive due to their overhanging canoe sterns, traditional lines, and lack of bowsprit. Pacific Seacraft sailboats have been featured in both volumes of Ferenc Máté's The World's Best Sailboats and are considered to be among the highest quality sailing yachts still in production. Fortune Magazine twice selected Pacific Seacraft as a producer of America's 100 best products.

On November 30, 2013, the comparable numbers were $11.79 trillion, $5.43 trillion, and $17.21 trillion, an increase of over $1 trillion a year in both marketable and total national debt.
President Obama and most Democrats believe that annual budget deficits since the financial crash of September 2008 have, if anything, been too small. They would have preferred larger deficits than actually transpired to stimulate the economy.
Most Republicans prefer smaller deficits, balanced budgets, and ultimately paying down the national debt or at least substantially reducing it.
It's easy to explain this difference. It depends on who might have to pay the debt.
Voting by Race and Ethnicity
In the 2012 presidential election, 95% of African-Americans, 72% of non-White Hispanics, and 67% of single women (inclusive of single mothers) voted for President Obama. In contrast, a majority of men and White married women voted for Republican candidate Romney. (According to the 2010 Census, Whites were 72%, Hispanics 16%, and Blacks 13.3% of the population.)
How might the U.S. government go about paying increasing interest and paying down principal on the rapidly rising national debt? One recourse is a wealth tax, either a one-off measure or an annual levy. Another option is higher tax rates on upper-income households.
Wealth by Race and Ethnicity
There is a large wealth gap between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. In 2009, the median net worth of White households was $113,140; of Hispanics, $6,325; and of Blacks, $5,677. The ratio of White-to-Black wealth was 19:1, and White-to-Hispanic 15:1. A wealth tax would overwhelmingly be borne by Whites. Only a small fraction of Blacks and Hispanics possess sufficient wealth to be subject to a wealth tax.
Income by Race and Ethnicity
There is also a large income gap between Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics. White median income in 2009 was $62,545; of Blacks, $38,409; and of Hispanics, $39,730. For family income exceeding $100,000, Whites were 27.0% of all White families; Blacks, 12.1% of all Black families, and Hispanics 12.4% of all Hispanic families. For family incomes below $35,000, Blacks made up 55.3% of all Black families, Hispanics 46% of all Hispanic families, and Whites 33.8% of all White families. Low-income Blacks and Hispanics are a much larger fraction of their respective communities than are low-income Whites. An income-tax surcharge or increase in tax rates would largely affect White taxpayers.
Racial and ethnic differences overlap education levels, full-time work status, and marital status. Whites are better educated, disproportionately work full-time, and are more likely to be married, all of which are strongly correlated with wealth and income. (Asian-Americans are omitted from these comparisons because they constitute a much smaller fraction of the U.S. population, and because they are divided into many nationalities–Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, and 12 smaller nationalities of East- and Southeast Asians–which vary in income and wealth (e.g., Chinese-Americans vs. Laotian-Americans).
To summarize, Republican voters will largely pay any wealth and/or additional income taxes that are levied to pay interest and principal on the national debt. Democrat voters will pay little. It should come as no surprise, then, that President Obama and most Democrats in Congress care little about large deficits and the expanding national debt as their constituents will bear little of the additional tax burden.

From the Journal of the House of Representatives,
Message to Legislature. (May 15, 1913. pp. 2268-2269.)
Sir: I herewith return without my approval
House bill No. 117 (file No. 273, enrolled No. 233), entitled
A bill to amend sections 1 and 4 of chapter 2; sections 1,2,3, 6 and 9 of chapter 3; sections 2 and 3 of chapter 4; sections 3 and 10 of chapter 5, sections 2, 6, and 8 of chapter 6; sections 1, 2, and 8 of chapter 7; and section 1 of chapter 8 of Act. No. 254 of the Public Acts of 1897, entitled "An act to provide for the construction and maintenance of drains and the assessment and collection of taxes therefore, and to repeal all other acts relative thereto," approved June 2, 1897, being sections 4310, 3413, 4319, 4321, 4324, 4327, 4341, 4342, 4346, 4353, 4355, 4359, 4361, 4371, 4372, 4378, and 4379 of the Compiled Laws of 1897, as amended, and to add thereto five new sections to stand as sections 2-a, 3-a, 3-c and 6-a of said act.
There are many objections to this bill. The board of supervisors are herein empowered to dispense with the drain commissioner and take his duties upon themselves, thus making it probably in many instances the expense would be very largely increased. In fact, this bill would permit as many drain commissioners in each county as there are drains, and would further increase the expense. A further objection is that the contingent fund of the county would be seriously endangered by the provisions of this bill.
In the bill it is provided that, "at the time and place of letting and before receiving any bids, the county drain commissioner shall have the right, and it shall be his duty to determine whether the whole of the per cent of taxes to be spread for the benefits to land in the construction of such drain shall be assessed and collected in that same year, or whether the same shall be divided into two or more annual installments, one installment to be collected the first year and the other installments annually thereafter not to exceed ten years from the date of such assessment." This would do away with prospective bidders. Bidders would not consider such a proposition.
Other objections might be mentioned, but the three already stated are sufficient.

In summarising his engagement with the world of education, Lord Puttnam has described his work and his vision in the following way:
"It has allowed me the opportunity to engage with people who, every day of their working lives, are attempting to mould the 'building blocks', the
quality of which will determine our ability to secure the future.
These 'building blocks' are, of course, our children; and the people I find myself working with are their teachers. Children and young people are our single most precious asset and I want to achieve a more secure and imaginative future for them.
That requires that we become significantly more imaginative - most particularly in respect of the way in which we educate our young people. This being the case then I believe we have no choice but to embrace the equally immense power of the most recent digital technologies in learning at every level. Such technology – mobile telephony and the internet in particular – has fundamentally reshaped the way in which people of every age connect with, make sense of, and engage with the world.
We need the world of education and learning to embrace these technologies in ways that make the present rate of progress look exactly what it is – woefully inadequate."

About a month ago I saw this post and started working on a new template. Its done now and has been done for a few weeks but I've been waiting for the contest to surface.
To TF: Any news on whether/when this is going to occur?
To the authors: Any of you guys been scheming? Planning on entering?
I just wish it wasn't coded with the Prototype library. It always throws me for a split second when I see that listed when checking the scripts on a template. Picky picky, I know, but oh well.
Yea, his image replacement technique should be tossed even before you get to the CSS .
He says to use:
Company Name
and we all know non-semantic markup is bad. boooo to empty spans when they aren't explicitly needed.
I've been submitting a theme or two in the past few days so I've been watching the upload number and it seems like there are about 10 uploaded per day. I'm sure a bunch of those get shot down but a couple per day are still making it through, which seems like a decent pace.
screw the $70, I'll be participating for the spot of excellence in footer of the future website. That sounds totally prestigious.
Oh, I read that wrong. I thought you meant the query_posts was working but ruining the rest of the page.
Here is the exact snippet from my template that shows how I do it. I don't have time to troubleshoot your code, but if you compare it to this you should be able to find the problem:
(it looks like you dont both need IF have post and WHILE have posts)
When you use query_posts it affects the loops that come after it. You need to preserve the original loop if you still want to use it. Look up info about rewind_posts(), that should help…

Did they drop Vanilla Coke already? I thought that was still around.
And about Pepsi Blue:
When they finally decided to quit selling it somehow my friend got an invite to come pick up a truckload of the stuff straight from the distributor. He borrowed a truck and made the trip and came back with cases and cases and cases of the stuff.
My fridge was filled with Blue for months.
On that note, who remembers Crystal Clear Pepsi?
what all do you need edited?

- There is a need for more people from Black and Asian communities to join. On average only a third of people from these communities give permission
- You can join the register and tell your family your wishes
- You can also become a donor when registering for a driving licence or at a GP surgery
Transplant week: "if you're prepared to receive you should be prepared to give."
Lynne Holt is transplant coordinator at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, she says everyone needs to have a conversation about whether they want to be a donor.

In next month's general election, politicians — nearly all of them men — will make promises on what they will do to fix the economic morass, but very few of them will mention the role of women in the workforce.
The country's problems are well known: more older people are living longer as the workforce that supports them gets smaller, resulting in rising welfare costs and a shrinking tax base.
An influx of immigrants would boost the number of workers, but Japan has little appetite for migration on a European scale. Observers say the answer lies within —get more of the nation's women to work.
Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, said last month that women could rescue Japan's chronically underperforming economy if more of them had jobs.
A Goldman Sachs report in 2010 estimated the country's gross domestic product could jump by a staggering 15 percent if female participation in the workforce — currently at around 60 percent — was to match the 80 percent of men who are employed.
The report said seven out of 10 women leave the workforce after giving birth to their first child. And only 65 percent of women with a college-level education have jobs.
Across the board, female employees make only 60 percent of what men earn, according to labor ministry data, in part due to the larger number of women part-time workers.
Although staying at home is a positive choice for some women, commentators say it underscores a lack of opportunities for others.
Japan is ranked an embarrassing 101st out of 135 countries this year in the World Economic Forum's annual Global Gender Gap Report, down three places from last year. Its near neighbor, China, is in 69th place.
"The gender issue is really ignored in Japan," said Kaori Sasaki, president and CEO of a consulting firm named ewoman.
"Japan was strong for five, six decades after World War II because a certain group of men occupied top positions in the fields of economy, media and politics. This boys' network shared the same values and made decisions unopposed."
But its failure to adapt to the challenges of the last 20 years means Japan has stood still. Government data show women account for a mere 1.2 percent of executives at 3,600 listed companies.
Sasaki said Japanese men need to realize that closing the gender gap is no longer a rights issue.
"This is a management and growth strategy," she said, adding scandal-hit companies including Olympus, which concealed more than ¥100 billion in losses, and Tokyo Electric Power Co., operator of the crippled Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, would have better dealt with their respective disasters had they espoused more gender diversity in their senior management.
"When you try to manage a crisis, create products or design services, diversity really counts," Sasaki said.
Saadia Zahidi, the World Economic Forum's head of promoting gender parity and female leaders in the corporate world, is in agreement.
"How is innovation going to happen if you have the same people in exactly the same situation as in the past? So where are the new ideas going to come from?" she asked during the launch of the Japan Gender Parity Task Force in Tokyo on Thursday.
Masahiro Yamada, a professor of family sociology at Chuo University, said that just to survive, the country needs women to become workers and realize the financial gain that this entails.
"Unless more women work and get their own income, they cannot start a family," Yamada said. "Without women joining the workforce, the government's tax revenue won't pick up (because the population will continue to shrink)."
A lack of child care facilities makes returning to work difficult for many women. Nursery places are at a premium and in any case are only usually available during the day.
For some women, the problem is the incompatibility of family life and Japan's notoriously long working hours, where after-work socializing with colleagues is almost compulsory.
Yet there are pockets of change, said Hodaka Yamaguchi, 38, whose Tokyo-based IT employer is more sympathetic than many to the needs of its female workforce. Yamaguchi gave birth to a girl in 2009 and came back to a promotion after a 15-month maternity leave. She said her productivity has not fallen even though she is now working six-hour days.
"In this company, working women are well-protected," Yamaguchi said.
Her company allows parents of either sex to take a total of up to six years parental leave — well beyond the 18 months of maternity leave allowed by law. Although anything above the statutory period is unpaid, the employee's job is guaranteed.
Sasaki of ewoman agreed that things are better than they were, but that problems still remain.
"Many young working women say they no longer feel the glass ceiling," she said. "But I tell them it's still there. It just moved up."

An admirable life of helping others. But then she caught a glimpse of the Miami Heat dancers and succumbed to her inner star complex. It's been downhill ever since. Before long Trista was in Los Angeles, a popular finalist on ABC's dreadful The Bachelor, in which a guy goes through 25 hapless ladies to see which one he'll marry. True love on reality TV? Many in here shuddered to think she represented, however tenuously, the best Miami had to offer. When she didn't make the final cut, her audience popularity (imagine that audience...) led boob tube honchos to give her a spinoff all her own: The Bachelorette. This time she got to go through 25 guys and dump 24 of them. Just in time for the final episode, and with commercial sponsors lining up for the kill, she picked a poetry-writing fireman. "We're still together and in love," she recently ventured, adding (to no one's surprise) that she was now looking for a more permanent TV or movie job.
TALULA, 210 23rd Street, Miami Beach,305-672-0778
They could be Best Power Couple. Andrea Curto-Randazzo and husband Frank Randazzo individually have made big waves in the culinary world. But now they're teaming up for a new venture, Talula Restaurant & Bar, and their combined talents might well unleash a tsunami. While zooming up the culinary ladder, Andrea and Frank twice worked together before tying the knot -- at the famed Tribeca Grill in New York and at The Heights (formerly Pacific Heights) in Coral Gables. Frank then launched the Gaucho Room at the Loews Miami Beach while Andrea took over at Wish, both in South Beach and both of which brought them international acclaim. Love changes everything, of course. They married, quit their jobs, had a baby girl, and now are ready to unveil Talula by the end of this month. The name? It's a simplified version of Andrea's childhood nickname, after actress Tallulah Bankhead -- an early indication of her dramatic flair.
Jimbo's on Virginia Key. A real hidden treasure and so much more than a bait shop. Pulling up by boat through Shrimper's Lagoon is the only way to arrive. It's such a cool place, the opposite of Miami's polished side. Jim Luznar opened this landmark in 1954 and it remains the best place in Miami for fresh smoked fish and cheap cold beer.
Tourists and newcomers are always told that Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road are the best places to people-watch, but those of us who live here know that the Publix on Twentieth Street is really the place. Stroll up and down the aisles and you will see everyone you know, even those you didn't think knew how to cook. Most men don't like to go grocery shopping, but Frank doesn't mind it because the scenery is so good.
Each time we drive back to Miami Beach we remember how pretty it is here. I grew up here and sometimes take the place for granted but Frank reminds me by talking about the beauty. From our balcony we get to see the cruise ships leave. It's the perfect view and it is so cool.
When we think of local flavor we think of Cuban food, and we are fortunate that Nelson DeLeon, architect for Talula and a local of Cuban heritage, took us to a place we really like -- La Casita Restaurant in Coral Gables. La Casita has a casual, friendly atmosphere where everyone is comfortable.
We were tired of the snow up north and enjoy simplicity. Miami Beach seemed like the right place at the right time. Everything is within walking distance, just around the corner. We are simple people who want a simple, laid-back lifestyle. We found it here.
Serves 6-8
1 1/2 pounds sautéed mushrooms (shiitake, portobello, oyster, and/or crimini)
2 cups calabaza, diced and cooked (approximately a quarter of 1 calabaza)
1/2 pound butter
1 large onion (diced small)
1 pound arborio rice
2 bay leaves
2 cups white wine
1 gallon vegetable or chicken stock (hot)
2 tablespoons lime zest
1 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (grated)
2 tablespoons truffle oil (white or black)
White pepper
Wooden spoon
To sauté mushrooms:
Preheat large sauté pan over medium heat. Slice mushrooms lengthwise (be sure to trim down oversize portobellos). Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter to sauté pan. When butter melts, add mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes stirring often. Season with salt and white pepper. Reserve.
To cook calabaza:
Remove skin from calabaza and dice into quarter-inch cubes, removing seeds and pulp. Place in salted boiling water and simmer until tender (about 5 minutes). Strain and cool immediately.
To prepare risotto:
Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and melt 3 tablespoons butter in a preheated rondeau. Add diced onion and sauté on medium heat until onions are tender and translucent. Add arborio and bay leaf and stir with wooden spoon until coated with butter. Add 2 cups white wine and stir, simmer until wine is absorbed. Add 1 cup hot stock at a time, stirring until absorbed. Continue adding stock slowly, 1 cup at a time, stirring very often until rice is tender and creamy. Stir in mushrooms, calabaza, herbs, lime zest, cheese, and remaining butter. Season with salt and white pepper. Drizzle in truffle oil. Serve immediately.
Ahh, the impersonal nature of banking. Sure, that ATM perennially spouting cash is convenient, and that check card can be pretty handy too (even though your account's been drained three times by retail-sector thieves). And yes, online banking means you can monitor funds and pay bills right at your desk -- just like your boss does when he isn't watching his stocks! But admit it, you yearn for the days when banks would dole out toasters and clock radios as a reward for opening a new account, when lots of smiling tellers would utter their names and mean it when they said: "May I help you," and when the darned places were open on Saturday. Because who has the time to sneak away from the job and deal with money matters during the week? Well, a number of banks have begun throwing their doors open on Saturdays. But only Beach Bank can boast Sunday hours. The official day of rest for many is a day of work for them. Located in mid-Miami Beach, home to a heavily Orthodox Jewish population, the financial institution caters to those who don't do squat on Saturdays -- by religious mandate or not. But come Sunday, from 9:00 a.m. to noon, anybody can take care of his financial business.
Or should we say "bus benches" -- because who are we trying to fool? We all know these new contraptions are lucrative mini-billboards disguised by Sarmiento Advertising Group as seating units for the bus-riding masses. And as bus-riders themselves will tell you, the proof is in the scorching heat that radiates from the benches' metal bars after a few hours absorbing solar radiation in 95-degree heat. In some locations Sarmiento didn't even bother with the bench decoy; only the sign. City of Miami planning directors, former Manager Carlos Gimenez, and all five city commissioners fell for the company's crafty sales pitch, in which the billboards were described as "street furniture." Apparently Sarmiento's metallic sofas looked so cool in photos that city officials agreed to let the company place some right next to those old advertising-delivery devices known as "bus shelters," and even alongside the old wooden "bus benches" the new ones were to replace. But they turned out to be so uncool that Sarmiento executives were soon scrambling to apply a heat-repellant coating to protect the tax-paying public's backsides, as well as their own.
At the Eden Roc it's always the Fifties, baby. Just like it oughta be. You walk into the lobby, with its staircase floating down from the mezzanine, fluted rosewood columns, and ornate terrazzo floors. Spin in a circle. So much open space it's breathtaking. You can almost see Sammy Davis, Jr., tapping across the floor toward Harry's bar, where Frank Sinatra is ordering a martini and chatting up Liz Taylor. The Roc opened in the mid-Fifties, a creation of purest swank from the mind of daffy architectural genius Morris Lapidus. After Hollywood left, though, the 349-room hotel was sold and renovated many times, resulting in a creeping horror of Seventies and Eighties-era notions of style covering the old splendor. In 1999 new owners pumped millions into a makeover that essentially restored the grand dame to her original self. And we like her, yes we do.

EMT's Won't Get Raise
With a 4- to- 1 vote... County Commissioners approved a plan that worked out details to a service model that does not include a pay rate for the E-M-T's.
Some E-M-T's are now asking county leaders to "show me the money."
It seemed as though the transition team had all their bases covered in the presentation...but the one item that was omitted...may have been the same item that forced one commissioner to vote no.
Andy Kesselring was the only commissioner who voted not to adopt the transition plan...commissioner Stan Mcclain stated that in circumstances like these..there is usually a salary survey completed...before a plan of this magnitude is adopted.
Brett Cyr apposses the integration and represents a group of EMT's that feel the same way he does.
"One of the commissioners brought up...is there going to be a salary survey? That would be anybody's first item when you're considering hiring a new position. It hasn't been done...it's not even proposed."
Marion County Fire Rescue Public Information Officer Heather Danenhower says...that portion of the plan has to be negotiated and won't be finalized for a few months.
"That does not include the line E-M-T's...the paramedics...the dual certified fire fighters EMT's and dual certified fire fighter paramedics because all of those individuals are part of the union and they're salaries have to be negotiated."
The ambulance service contract will expire on september 30th.... until that time...beginning next month EMT workers will be given priority for new positions with Marion County Fire Rescue.

Mirpur (Urdu: میر پور), also known as 'Little Britain',[1] is the largest city in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and the capital of Mirpur District. Mirpur is located at the extreme south of Azad Kashmir at an elevation of 459 metres (1509 ft). It is 125 kilometres (68 miles) south east of Islamabad via the Grand Trunk Road and 295 kilometres (183 miles) south of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
Early Mirpur
Since Mirpur lies at the point where the Jhelum River breaks out of the heavily forested foothills of the Pir Panjal mountains into the plains of the largely treeless Punjab. It was an ideal spot for the construction of the boats used to carry goods down the five rivers of the Punjab to the Indus River and onto the seaports in the Indus delta. Traders have been operating from there across the Indian Ocean for over three thousand years. Most of the crew on the boats trading up and down the Punjab and Indus River system were drawn from Mirpur, as training as a boat-builder was a necessary prerequisite for becoming a boatman.
With the arrival of British rule however, the thriving river trade was decimated due to the construction of railway lines from Bombay and Karachi into the interior of the Punjab. Moving goods by rail was both cheaper and quicker, and hundreds of Mirpuri boatmen found themselves out of a job.
At the same time long-distance ocean trade was shifting from sail to steam. There was a huge demand for men who were prepared to work in the hot, dirty and dangerous stokeholds of the new coal-fired steamers. European seamen avoided such jobs whenever they possibly could. They preferred to work on deck. But in the 1870s Mirpuri ex-river boatmen were desperately searching for a new source of income. Although unfamiliar with stoking coal-fired boilers, they were prepared to learn and quickly gained a virtual monopoly of jobs as engine-room stokers on new steamships sailing out of Karachi and Bombay, a position they retained until coal-fired ships were finally phased out of service at the end of the second world war.
After world war two a new set of opportunities opened up. Britain's economy was just setting off on what proved to be a long post-war boom, and there was an acute short of labour in the foundries of the Midlands, and the textile mills of Yorkshire and Lancashire. Now it was the turn of ex-seamen to become industrial workers in Britain. So when the Mangla lake was filled up in 1966, depriving large numbers of Mirpuri farmers of their land, an alternative was readily available: to move overseas to join those of their kinsfolk who had established themselves in Britain.
As a result, Mirpur is one of the principal sources of migration from Pakistan to Europe, and especially to Britain, so much so that close to half a million migrants from this area now live in the United Kingdom. Although it is widely believed that the principal reason for this outflow was the construction of the Mangla Dam, this is only partially true. Whilst the construction of the dam undoubtedly reinforced the scale of the outflow, since the waters of the lake swamped most of the best land in the District, emigration from this region began long beforehand.
Mirpur city is situated at 459 meters above sea-level and is linked with the main Peshawar-Lahore Grand Trunk road at Dina Tehsil. It is the headquarters of Mirpur District, which comprises three sub-divisions, Mirpur, Chaksawari & Dadyal [2]. The building of the new city in late sixties paved the way for New Mirpur situated on the banks of Mangla lake. In fact the remains of the old city (old Mirpur) are underneath the waters of the Mangla Lake, during colder months the water level decreases such that you can see the tops of minarets from the first mosques, and also the remnants of a Sikh gurdwara as well as a Hindu mandir possibly dedicated to the "mangla mata" (mangla mother goddess).This is a glimpse of pre-independence times when there were many faiths co-existing in Kashmir as a whole, but however after partition the Hindus, Buddhists and Sikhs fled to India. Mirpur was well planned and the buildings are mostly of modern design, in addition there is significant inward investment from expatriates now living in the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, & the Middle East. The city has a number of hotels, restaurants, shopping malls and other urban facilities.
As Mirpur adjoins the industrial cities of Pakistan, the Government of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has successfully endeavoured to develop it as an industrial place and promote private investment for establishing, Foam, Polypropylene, Synthetic yarn, Motorbikes, Textile, vegetable ghee, logging and sawmills, soap, cosmetics, marble, ready-made garments, matches, rosin, turpentine and scooter industrial units in the area. However, much of the infrastructure still needs further development in order to compete on a national level. As part of the relief/compensation package in the wake of Mangla Dam Raising Project, a New City is being developed along the southeastern outskirts of Mirpur. Civil works at huge scale are going on around the whole district, by the Pakistani & Chinese contractors for raising the dam. Four towns in the district have been planned besides the new city, to resettle the population affected by the project.

That would depend on the parameters set by your statutes and issuing authority.
Maybe someone else can be more specific relative to your location.
This is a discussion on Defib and CHP within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Can I still get my CHP if i have a Pacemaker and Defribrillator installed?...
Can I still get my CHP if i have a Pacemaker and Defribrillator installed?
That would depend on the parameters set by your statutes and issuing authority.
Maybe someone else can be more specific relative to your location.
"I do what I do." Cpl 'coach' Bowden, "Southern Comfort".
In CT anyway, they don't ask for a physical to get your permit and I believe so do most states. having a PM/AICD should not prohibit your from getting a permit. although, your state might have a strange stipulation so please check.
"embrace the suck" - our warriors in the sandbox... it implies that do the best you can in impossible conditions.
"no plan survives intact upon contact with the enemy" - wisdom of the Grunts.
I may be wrong, but I don't think any state has a stipulation that a person has to be healthy in order to defend them self. I haven't heard of any such stipulation for a ccw permit anywhere, but I'm willing to stand corrected if anyone can point one out.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
As others have stated it would depend on your state, but I get the feeling that is not the real question. I get the feeling you are asking if shooting could damage the electronics in a pacemaker or defibrillator. If that is so I can only say talk to your physician or heart specialist. I have never heard of it happening but that is a possibility that should be explored. With the high stress level in a self defense situation and the physical activity who knows? I hope the answer is, no it won't do damage; and that you never have to put that into practice. Stay safe.
I answered in your other thread but to cover the bases you should be good to go. NC law has the line "The applicant does not suffer from a physical or mental infirmity that prevents the safe handling of a handgun." in their requirements for issuing a CHP but unless you're seriously affected by frequent jump starts you should be good to go. As I said in the other thread, I'm real close to your location so give me a PM if I can help in any way.
Always a state specific question, but as a practical matter I can't see why one should have anything to do with the other.
You'd get a CHL if you had a hip replacement, so why not pacemaker-defibrillator. Definitely a pacemaker would have zero effect on gun handling. I could see an odd chance that if the defibrillator triggered while you were about to squeeze one off you might do it accidentally. But, odds are really really small anything like that would happen and you can work against them by not using SAO. (I am assuming that when the defibrillator hits you react as if you are shocked. If it is not noticeable or has no effect on your other muscles, it should be no issue at all.)
If you have already experienced a jolt, then you know if it would be safe to handle a gun at that instant when something "sparks."
In the end though, I think it is your judgment call and there won't be any law that prevents you from getting a license. Good physical health doesn't seem to be a requirement in most places; just ok mental health.
Sorry to hear that you have these problems. At least technology of today makes a continued normal life possible. What a fantastic advance from not very many years ago.
IMO, those who are physically infirm are in the greatest need for a personal defense weapon....and no one should pass judgment on him/her. It's not like they are requesting to join the SWAT team, so why even make physical ability an issue?

You have never lived until you have almost died. For those that have fought for it, life has a special flavor the protected will never know
I have had my pacemaker for a year and a half now and the only limitation is I can no longer shoot long guns left handed, pacemaker is implanted on left side. As far as North Carolina there are no restrictions unless you have a deformity that prohibits you from safely handling or shooting a firearm. When it comes to defibs I do know one lady in our coin club that had one and she said when it shocked her it would just about take her off her feet.
When you have to shoot, shoot. Don't talk.
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."
Hóka-héy! Crazy Horse
As for the guns harming the devices, no way from a handgun. I think msgt/ret got it about right; no rifle or shotgun shot left handed where the recoil is absorbed into the shoulder near the implant.
Thanks to all that responded.I could not find any laws that say I cant get a CHP but i wanted to make sure.Physically i have no problems shooting (put 50 rounds thru my glock 23 this weekend) work 8-10 hrs a day,still cut my own firewood,im hell on my 4-wheeler,and love riding my Harley nightster,plus i quit smoking and drinking 3 yrs ago.So life is good :) THANKS again Oh im in NC

Seiko Superior #SRP309J1- Men's 200m Automatic Diver Watch (Made In Japan)
About Seiko: In 1877, at the age of 18, Kintaro Hattori set up business repairing the Western-style clocks that were becoming increasingly popular in Japan. By 1892, Hattori was manufacturing his own clocks in a factory he called Seikosha, from the words "seiko" meaning "exquisite," "success," or "miniature," and "sha" meaning "house." The company grew and prospered, producing its first wristwatch in 1913 and launching the Seiko brand in 1924. Technological innovation has always been a driving force in the company's history. Key milestones include Seiko's introduction of the world's first quartz watch in 1969, and its successful launch, in 1988, of the Kinetic, the world's first battery-free watch with quartz accuracy. Recognized for its technological excellence, Seiko has provided timekeeping services for the Olympic Games and the World Cup Soccer Championships. Today, the Seiko brand continues to stand for state-of-the-art technology, as well as superior quality and refined design.

And for a good reason - Qualcomm was the first one to go on the 28nm manufacturing node, which translated into better power efficiency and it is the first to include an on-chip LTE module. And now Taiwan supply chain sources say that because of the better performance to cost ratio, the Tegra 3 is feeling the heat.
Nvidia's chip is still in some of the high profile launches this season like the Google Nexus 7 tablet and the Microsoft Surface RT tablet, but Tegra smartphones are having middling sales and this might hurt Nvidia's margins in 2013.
Nvidia's highest profile smartphones for the year include the international version of the HTC One X and the LG Optimus 4X HD.
Qualcomm on its part is starting getting even more aggressive in lower-end devices as well, announcing chips that can compete against the likes of MediaTek, the most popular chip maker for low to mid-range Chinese smart devices.

Trojans Romp in Home Opener
LOS ANGELES - USC Guard Larry Ayuso sparked a pulverizing 17-2 first-half run and the Trojans (3-1) romped to a home-opening victory, 90-76 over UCSB.
Ayuso pumped in 11 of the 17, turning a one-point lead into a comfortable 41-23 halftime cushion. He finsihed with 18.
For SC, forward Gary Williams topped all scorers with 19. Jarvis Turner scored 15. Guard Gary Johnson turned in a fine alla-round game with 13 points, 8 assists and 6 steals.
Ayuso also held Goucho star Raymond Tutt to 14 points, stopping at 12 a string of games in which he had scored over 20 points.
SC Coach Henry Bibby applied constant full-court and half-court zone pressure, forcing UCSB into 23 turnovers. On the strength of that defense, USC built a 27-point lead early in the second half .
Next, USC plays at San Diego State Saturday the 29th at 7:00.
We hold them to 23 at halftime, which is very, very good. In the second half they score 53...and our defense broke down.
I thought Ayuso kept us in the game. He can do that. And we have to have it. We talked to him tonight about letting the game come to him. And he played great defense on Tutt. At half, he had four points. Larry worked him hard.

Oct 13, 2012 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterDuring this month's meeting of the Fremont County Association of Governors, State Sen. Eli Bebout, R-Riverton, asked Shoshoni Mayor Scott Peters an unusual question about Peters' small desert town.
"How are things coming on your insurance for floods?" Bebout asked.
According to Peters, officials in Washington, D.C., decided to study the country's floodplain maps sometime last year, updating the documents to contain new data that apparently shows Shoshoni in a floodplain.
"We can't tell who in Washington hit the button, but when they revisited the maps they were holding the old map that had eliminated us as a floodplain," Peters said. "They just reactivated us."
A floodplain, as defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is "level land that may be submerged by flood waters." Bebout said that in his opinion, Shoshoni's landscape doesn't fall under that category.
"I don't think Shoshoni's going to flood," Bebout said. "If Shoshoni floods we can all just go to the mountains."
Peters said he had a conversation about Shoshoni's floodplain with a staffer in Washington, who noted the proximity of Boysen Reservoir to the little town.
"She said, 'What happens if the dam breaks?'" Peters recalled. "I said, 'You'll be on the phone with Thermopolis.'"
Bebout joked that maybe water runs uphill in Washington, D.C. He said the floodplain situation is a real problem that must be addressed, because a handful of property owners in Shoshoni have been affected by the designation.
"If they're in the floodplain, they can't get insurance because someone happened to look at a map," Bebout said.
Peters said he knows of four homeowners who were affected by the change, but he said they were able to obtain property insurance on the condition that the issue would be addressed. Federal officials are on board to get Shoshoni "washed off" the nation's floodplain maps, Peters added.
"We haven't gotten the official notice back, (but it's) supposed to be done," Peters said. "Who knows, maybe they'll declare us a disaster area next."

Car Won't Start In Heat, Stalls
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 1999 Honda Accord suffers from widespread transmission failure, subframe rust, engine shuts off while driving, & peeling paint. We recommend avoiding this model year like the plague.
The transmission begins slipping & eventually has to be replaced, typically soon after 100,000 miles & with a repair cost of over $2,000.
Subframe rust near the front passenger side wheel has become a problem recently, due to the poorly positioned A/C drain hose directly above that area. Repair cost to the subframe is over $2,000.
Engine stalling while driving in the 1999 Accord is typically caused by a defective ignition switch -- inexpensive to repair (under $200) but dangerous.
Peeling paint has also been an issue for these Accords. Most of the complaints are with darker paint colors -- especially green & blue.

For the family of Rehtaeh Parsons, the pain of losing their daughter will not end. Posters defending the four boys who allegedy sexually assaulted the Nova Scotia teen were seen in her Halifax neighbourhood.
1) Posters Appeared Wednesday Morning
Rehtaeh's stepfather, Jason Barnes, told CBC News he first noticed the posters stapled to telephone poles on his street on Wednesday morning. According to Global News, the neon posters were seen in the areas of Cole Harbour, Eastern Passage and Halifax.
2) They Were Soon Removed

— #OpAntiBully (@OpAntiBullyInfo) April 14, 2013
Barnes said that after returning home after taking his children to school, the posters had been removed and thrown in the trash.
3) "Speak the Truth"
Poster defending the boys accused of assaulting Rehteah Parsons on Dresden Road today. twitter.com/jontattrie/sta…
— Jon Tattrie (@jontattrie) April 17, 2013
The homemade posters read, "Speak the truth. There's two sides to every story. Listen before you judge. The truth will come out. Stay strong and support the boys."
Reportedly, a Facebook page to support the young men was also created, but has been reportedly removed at the request of the RCMP.
"Just keep your heads up guys," one poster wrote. "This will go away in time and just keep in mind everybody that knows you, knows you didn't do anything."
4) Not Illegal
Barnes told CBC News his family called police to complain, but they told him there was nothing they could do.
According to local RCMP, posters like this are not a criminal offence, even though they may be considered disrespectful and upsetting.

5) Rehtaeh's Mother Is Firing Back
"This is our street, we are mourning our daughter, my children live in this neighbourhood. If you wanted to speak the truth … why didn't you speak when Rehtaeh was alive … you push her to suicide then you continue with this bullshit!!! Really???? You have no compassion … but we knew that already," Leah Parsons Parsons wrote on the Facebook page created to honour Rehtaeh's memory.
"It just felt like someone kicked me in the stomach. How dare they do that?" she also told Global News.
"My daughter is gone because of them and they have the nerve to show up on my street and my community where my children live and keep harassing us. That's harassment."

Re: Re: Re: Presentation quick with grid and pasted
There is no missing step. Palettes->Install Palette..., which I mention
below, installs a copy of the palette into the right location so that
it will be found in the Palettes menu. It does so by saving a copy of
the palette in the right directory with the name you specify, and then
immediately regenerating the menus so that you don't have to quit/restart
to see the results.

It's pathetic that you can't put together the least intellectual argument. The heck with you. I tried to give you the benefit of a doubt. I bet you have never read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, nor understand them.
You probably haven't read a history book either.
Debate me if you dare you pathetic excuse for an American citizen. How can you debate anyone if you can't bother to spell? Do you know what a comma is?
I wasn't aware this was an essay, I type however I want as long as the point gets across I don't give a damn. THe fact you have to pick at things to try and start a classic online argument means you have nothing.
you don't even have anything informative you just try and put me down in every single sentence. I am only reading it because I try to keep an open mind and listen to everyones point of views.
I'm not arguing the constitution or bill of rights and I didn't give my stance on the gun control. I know how badly you want your doom but i'm sorry to say this isn't it. Make your own doom if you need it so bad.
Anonymous Coward 29746178
Nope. Scratch. Your claim is entirely without merit. I posted replies to your assertions about "demons". You need to scroll back or actually read instead of a diatribe on One World Government because that has absolutely nothing to do with guns in a gun store.
If you don't understand Natural Right, the Constitution, The Bill of Rights, what any of those words mean I used, what the issues are, the legalities, the role of a constiutional republic, the difference in a system with Checks and Balances, the role of the Legislative versus the Executive versus the Judiciary, you cannot possibly debate gun control.
That's insane, foolish, asinine to image you can toss a goofy naive idea and then expect anyone to take you serious.
Even if it were pertinent, you'd have to illustrate how that would be superior. As a matter of fact, such a thing would be illegal and revolutionary, so basically you're talking about Treason.
You won't get any respect unless you learn how to debate.
You can't even punctuate a sentence.
And still you have posed one shred of evidence that your illegal treasonous ideas would be palatable or justifiable or even better than our form of government.
Grow up.
Get off my ass about punctuation who gives a shit really. I didn't say one world government would be better than what we have currently, I said it is possibly the best shot at a peaceful world. Your attacks really are pointless.
And what would you classify the gov. as if they sent DHS to load us all up with hollow points? I'd call them evil demons ya.
My point to anyone who might buy into the b.s. spread around, the government is not all evil traders and our current gun situation is not to start a civil war and enslave us.
And as you can see if you have an opinion that doesn't spell doom for all then these people will work as hard as they can to put you down call you a shill and attempt to make you look like you are wrong. I'm sure most don't even realize what they are doing.
Anonymous Coward 29746178
You really never learned how to write a sentence, so naturally you're incapable of a written debate. You can't put together a coherent idea, so it's impossible to debate you.
There are no ideas there that are not entirely circuitous and illogical to boot. There's no evidence of your assertions. There's no meat.
In all honesty, I feel aghast that you're a product of the American educational system. And actually, a bit sorry that you didn't put forth the most rudimentary effort to try.
And peace, who wants peace by accepting the slavery that would result from losing our self-determination? That's the worst aspect of your thesis, not that there actually is one buried with that mud puddle you squirted on the page.
Please verify you're human:

Panel's Failure Means Education Cuts in '13
Monday, November 28, 2011 - 9:54am
The New York Times
On Monday, Congressional leaders failed to agree on a plan to balance the country's budget. As a result, automatic cuts to federal programs are set to take place beginning in 2013. Student financial aid programs — including Pell Grants — will find their current funding levels in jeopardy unless government officials reach consensus on an alternate approach.

Trujillo and Lima
Ruins Everywhere you Look
I was originally going to stay in Huaraz for a little longer last week and do a trek but a transportation strike was scheduled for later in the week across all of Peru. This created a problem for the trekking companies. None of the operators could commit to treks because they couldn´t guarantee the trekkers would get back to Huaraz with the strike. So I decided to scram Huaraz while I could. Took a nine hour night bus from Huaraz to Trujillo.
Visited several great ruins near Trujillo with a day tour group on the morning I arrived from Huaraz.
Chan Chan --- this figure is actually four and a half feet tall
Huaca de la Luna Ruins. This temple is over a thousand years old. Excavation began just forty years ago.
This is a view from the top of Huaca de la Luna towards Huaca del Sol, which is the big mound in the distance. All in between these Huacas was a vast city that still lies underneath the sand. You can see ruins sticking up everywhere you look. Huaca del Sol has not been excavated as of yet.
Huaca Arco Iris
While in Trujillo I visited the fishing town of Huacachaco. Fisherman still paddleout on the reed boats to catch fish, others fish from the shore line with nets.
The transportation strike kept me in Trujillo for a couple of days more than I had planned but it worked out since I was sick. At some point I got some sort of stomach bug, bound to happen at some point. It was either the fish that I had one night or the local, once a week special stew that the waiter talked me into having for lunch. Found out later the special stew contained the lining of a pigs stomach. Guess I should learn to ask what specific parts of the pig they use when they mention a pork stew. The only redeeming quality of my rundown hostel room was that it had a television. I managed to learn some additional spanish through subtitles while laid up in bed. Spanish soap operas are pretty informative, I can now say ¨El nino es nada mio¨ (The baby is not mine), hopefully I won´t have to use that phrase.
Took another nine hour bus ride south on the Panamerican Highway to Lima, Peru on Thursday. Some views of the desert in Peru. The scenery is really spectacular, at some points the highway runs right along the beach.
Overall the buses here are much nicer than in Ecuador. Luckily I´ve been able to travel on a first class line on almost all of my trips so far. Reclining seats, movies, meal service, bathrooms and a stewardess. Haven´t had to pull any of these buses out of a ditch yet...crossing my fingers.
This is my second time around in Lima. Just here until tonight (Sat) when I grab a night bus to Arequipa, Peru...13 hour trip, hopefully I´ll get some sleep.
The Road Goes on Forever in Peru!

Recently, I added too much flour to the bowl of my Kitchenaid mixer. The mixer was turned on when I added the ingredient, and flour ended up getting all over the place. My sister and I thought it was hysterical and could not stop laughing. Normally I'm a good sport when it comes to dealing with kitchen mistakes, but it really depends on the mishap. If I burn a few cookies and no one finds out, who cares? However, if I overpoach eggs at brunch in front of guests, the situation isn't as laughable. How about you?
Join The Conversation
Sometimes I laugh it off, but sometimes I get totally pissed off. I feel like I worked so hard and it was all in vain.
Last night I messed up my cake for a work party. I was so disappointed because it was a stupid mistake that made me buy something store-bought instead. I may have shed a tear, which I can laugh about now!
I'm with Yum on that one. If I'm making impulse cookies and they get burned, no biggie. If I'm making today-is-the-worst-day-of-my-life cookies, I'd probably have a breakdown. ;) But yeah, the picture of your mixer... totally familiar lol.
Most of the time when something goes wrong in the kitchen, I injure myself as well. But even that is funny, because it happens so much.
I tend to laugh the mistakes off, as long as the food isn't ruined beyond edibility. Sometimes mistakes make the food better too :) I've had flat macaroons, dense and mountainous sugar cookies and set off many smoke alarms over the years, most recently at my new apartment with some burnt grilled cheese sandwiches. (according to my dad and boyfriend that is :p ) I just figure, you can't be in a kitchen without something happening. Injuries (burned knuckles, sliced fingers, cracked skull) wrong ingredients (salt and sugar look VERY similar!!) and mechanical mishaps (flour everywhere). That's part of the joys of being in the kitchen. :-)
haha this reminds me , once probably ten years ago, i was baking this recipe with my friends and i dont even know what happened, we followed all the directions, but the cupcakes came out baked on the outside, but full on watery in the middle, they ran right out of their baked shells :S and the second half of the recipe which we used for a loaf of cake was so rock hard and dense you could use it as a football. it still baffles me.
I think the only time I didn't laugh something off was when I spent my entire day off (the only one I had in 3 weeks) baking this huge cake for my sister's birthday party and, as I was carving off the edges to shape it, I tested it to find that it tasted completely like MILDEW. Apparently, the butter I bought was bad and I couldn't even notice! I almost cried because my entire day (baking in a city apartment on a 95 degree day as well) was wasted.
Most the time I laugh it off, however there was one EPIC incident that certainly wasn't laughed off. I was trying to make homemade ravioli and the pasta dough kept sticking and they were ripping and just not working (and I was super pms-y) and finally I had ENOUGH and just started screaming at the stupid ravioli and literally throwing them everywhere. It was seriously the worst meltdown I have had in probably the last 5 years.
I can't seem to cook for my boyfriend, who is not my biggest critic on the subject. When I cook for him, nothing is funny.
It depends on what happens and what the dish is for. Once, I was baking some bars for work and I totally overbaked them and they turned out rock-hard and completely inedible. I was super upset because I didn't have time to re-bake them in time to bring them in for a treat. But most of the time, it's just funny when stuff happens in the kitchen...like when my husband tries to make bread in the bread machine and it NEVER turns out right or when I burn things in the broiler because I'm not watching them closely enough.
Usually, I laugh at myself. I'm a klutz and regularly spill/drop/burn myself. However, there are times when it's the end of the day and all I want to do is eat, and I have no tolerance. The last time it happened I dropped an entire meal on the floor and kicked my cabinet so hard in frustration I sprained my foot.
I have to laugh.. I'm so clumsy... I wouldn't walk into the kitchen if I took it too seriously! the only time this gets less funny is when I burn myself! which is far to often! you would of think I'd learn! hey ho..!
As long as the meal isn't ruined I'm good. There was one time I really screwed up and I couldn't help but crack up hysterically - I was doing a pasta dish from Giada DeLaurentis, it was a spicy pasta (can't recall the exact name) and I was supposed to infuse some olive oil with 1 tsp of red pepper flake and instead i used 1tbsp LOL the pasta was SOOOOO hot even my husband who likes spicy food couldnt take it :P
Well, last night's mishap was cutting off a little bit of finger/nail while chopping thyme. I let someone else do the rest of the knife business after that. >_<
Most times I laugh because most times it is funny. I remember at night my cousin was making pumpkin soup and she was using the blender, but the top came off and splattered everywhere. It was funny to me, but not so much to her. I cleaned it up for her though.
Depends on my state of mind... and if something was completely ruined. I don't care if it is just the hubby & I..but if guests were coming. :scared:
I try to laugh at every mishap, not just in the kitchen... Much more pleasant than getting angry or disappointed :)
Completely depends on my state of mind. Sometimes it's just funny; other days, when I'm at wit's end with something else on my mind, it's not funny or fun at all.
When I'm making a new recipe for the first time sometimes I don't get it quite right, but I learn for the next time that I make it. I usually don't laugh it off but I don't get that upset either.

Distribution of oxygen across the surface of the human cornea during soft contact lens wear
Efron, Nathan & Fitzgerald, John P. (1996) Distribution of oxygen across the surface of the human cornea during soft contact lens wear. Optometry and Vision Science, 73(10), pp. 659-665.
PURPOSE: To determine whether tear mixing occurs beneath soft contact lenses, we examined the effect of blinking on the oxygen distribution across the corneal surface beneath a nonuniform thickness lens. METHODS: A custom-designed twin polarographic oxygen sensor assembly was used to simultaneously measure the equivalent oxygen percentage (EOP) at central and peripheral corneal locations of 10 human subjects beneath a -6.00 D thin-design hydroxyethyl mathacrylate (HEMA) lens. A -0.25 D lens served as a control. Each lens was worn for 5 min under static (no blinking) and dynamic (12 and 60 blinks/min) conditions. RESULTS: A significantly greater EOP (p = 0.006) was observed at the central (vs. peripheral) cornea during static and dynamic lens wear; central and peripheral oxygenation were unaffected by blinking. CONCLUSIONS: Tear mixing is insignificant beneath thin-design HEMA lenses; therefore, oxygenation across the corneal surface beneath such lenses is best predicted from the lens thickness profile rather than average thickness.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
does the display say anything when the buttons are pushed?
Yes all of the displays are working -- when I select a temperature is simply sits and does not ever light the oven.
so it will not light on bake or broil?
Yes that is correct
how long did you wait after setting the temp?
About 3 - 5 minutes
set it to broil and open the door. at the top you can see the broil burner. tell me if it is glowing?
ok hold on
There is a glowing element at the top of the oven next to the burner
is it still on?
let it on for a few min and see if it lights
I just went back and checked, the broiler burner is now lit and burning
ok then the broil is working. the problem is the igniter on the bake burner. this is very common. the part number is XXXXX
this can be found at www.appliancepartspros.com at a discounted price
to replace this remove the oven bottom
OK I will do so... thanks for your help!
put a drop of dish liquid on the threads of the 2 screws holding the igniter before removing. if you do not use the dish liquid they will strip
once the screws are removed the wires just plug in
Ok -- any other tips?
ok thanks
nope thats all you need to know. your welcome and thank you
please do not forget to accept.
good night and thanks
