Expert Tells Celebuzz: Which 'American Idol' Will Become the True Star?
Each season has also seen breakout stars — some of them became even bigger than the person who won that year (Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Adam Lambert and Clay Aiken, to name a few). Celebuzz talked to Lisa Damiani, founder of Star Rock for Kids!, for her professional opinion on how the AI gang can ensure their stardom.
What are some of the most important decisions can Scotty make that might ultimately affect his post-Idol success?
American Idol is a family oriented program. An Idol champion should not make decisions that would compromise the wholesome image America came to know and love. The audience is your fan base and they will buy your record. You don't want to disappoint them by becoming something different than what they saw on the show and risk losing the very audience that awarded you this prestigious title.
What challenges might Scotty (or another successful contestant) face after their departure from the show?
There will be many challenges they will face. One will be the change of their daily lives as they adjust to a new routine after coming off the "high" of being on one of the biggest television shows of our time. Winning or having a successful appearance on "Idol" is just the beginning of the journey to success. Just because a contestant won doesn't mean they are guaranteed a successful career. While being faced with this challenge, they need to have integrity in what they do, who they are and where they are going.
How might contestants work on their image so that being an Idol doesn't become their sole identity?
Carrie Underwood is a great example. She kept her clean image from American Idol but as her career flourished, as she did she. Carrie developed into a woman from the girl that appeared on that had first appeared on the American Idol stage. Contestants need to stay true to themselves – which will never lead them the wrong way. They can't go wrong by remaining true to who they are as they grow into the better person they inspire to become.
Why do some AI alums become chart-toppers, while others fade into oblivion?
It is about the choices the contestants make in their professional and personal lives that affect their success. Are they emotionally, mentally and physically equipped to handle the commitments and pressures of this industry? Have they strayed and tried to become something different than who they are? In the end, it also comes down to their song choices. Do they have a hit song and do they have another one to follow? A hit song is what keeps an artist on the radio, on the charts and in the public's eye; without one, people will forget about them.

Orie appeal to delay 2nd trial
The attorney for state Sen. Jane Orie appealed her case to the state Superior Court on Friday, delaying her second trial which had been scheduled to start next week.
Allegheny County Common Pleas Judge Jeffrey A. Manning agreed to postpone the case until the appellate court decides whether to take the appeal.
The former Republican whip is seeking to have her corruption case thrown out on double jeopardy grounds and to have Manning removed as trial judge. Manning denied both of those requests this week, calling the double jeopardy claim "frivolous."
Orie's first trial ended on March 3 when Manning halted jury deliberations and declared a mistrial because he agreed with prosecutors that the defense had introduced forged documents during the case. The forgery is under investigation.
Orie, 49, of McCandless, is accused of using her state-paid staff to do campaign work for her and her sister, Supreme Court Justice Joan Orie Melvin. Another sister, Janine Orie, 56, of McCandless, an aide to Melvin, also is charged. Melvin, 54, of Marshall, is not charged but is under investigation.
Manning blasted Orie's defense in his opinion. But the senator's attorney, William Costopoulos, fired back in his appeal.
"Judge Manning's grant of a mistrial here is unprecedented in American (let alone Pennsylvania) jurisprudence and his lengthy, detailed opinion in which he is unable to cite any authority for his ... mistrial declaration underscores the merit of Senator Orie's double jeopardy motion and, alternatively, the need to recuse the trial judge from any further involvement in this case," Costopoulos wrote.
Costopoulos and Mike Manko, a spokesman for District Attorney Stephen A. Zappala Jr., declined to comment, citing a gag order in the case.

I will admit at the outset that I am a devoted e-book reader- I have a Kindle, but mostly use the Kindle app on my iPhone and have shunned paper and ink books since my very first Kindle Edition.
That said, people decide on whether they should lay the mack on someone on the subway based on their reading choices? Doing it wrong. Intellectual compatibility is very important, but an otherwise attractive and fancy-smelling person can be reading a dodgy book for any number of reasons. The fact that other riders could be judging me by my choice of embarrassing vampire romance novel is worrying- so it's probably good that I rely solely on my iPhone e-reader. Maybe they think I'm doing something more highbrow and respectable, like playing Bejeweled.
The notion Kindles are putting a dint in the subway-based dating scene comes courtesy of the New York Times. The writer, Lisa Lewis- in her not at all dramatically titled piece How E-Readers Destroyed My Love Life, bemoans these awesome devices because she cannot judge a prospect by his choice of reading material:
I had one good pickup line, and e-readers ruined it. I can no longer hit on a handsome man on a long commute by asking about his book — because I can't see it. Gone are the days when, sitting on a train delayed in the station, I could imagine exactly where in the New York Public Library we would first kiss — in the stacks between Mailer and Malamud or Foer and Franzen? E-books may be saving literature, but my dating life has suffered.
So, you spot Dreamy McHotterson on the G Train. He smells like jet fighters and punching. He's enlightened enough to not only invest more than $100 in reading, but he loads up his device and brings it with him to work. And the Kindle isn't enough to "hey, baby" him? An opener raving about battery life? Lauding the newfound lightness of your work bag? Complaining about a hot new release that costs more than the hardcover for the Kindle edition?
I suppose paper books could serve as a shibboleth for all the luddites- do you judge hotness based on reading material and/or format?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers' latest stock sale got off to a fast start Tuesday as fans snatched up more than a thousand shares in the opening moments.
Packers President Mark Murphy said the team received 1,600 online orders in the first 11 minutes of the sale. The team website received so many hits some fans were complaining about the wait and Murphy found himself reassuring people the site was still working.
"It's just a question of volume," Murphy said. "Fans are excited about this opportunity. We just encourage fans to be patient."
The team has put 250,000 shares up for sale at $250 apiece, plus a $25 handling charge per order. Murphy said the team hopes to generate at least $22 million to help defray the cost of a $143 million renovation project at Lambeau Field. Plans call for adding 6,700 additional seats, new high-definition video screens and a new entrance by 2013.
The sale marks the fifth time in the Packers' 92-year history that the publicly-owned team has offered stock, though it's really not an investment in the traditional sense. The value doesn't increase, there are no dividends and it has virtually no resale value. But it does qualify the buy as team owner and conveys voting rights. It also qualifies the holder to attend the annual stockholder meeting at Lambeau each summer before training camp begins. They also get access to a special line of shareholder apparel.
Murphy said the timing for the sale is excellent given the Packers are coming off a Super Bowl victory and just clinched their division last weekend at 12-0.
"First and foremost, (buying stock is) a way for them to support and help the team," Murphy said. "And it does give them bragging rights. They can say they're the owners of a Super Bowl champion team."
Before the sale, there were 112,205 shareholders who own a total of 4.75 million shares. The sale runs through Feb. 29, subject to an extension. Stock can only be purchased by individuals, not businesses, and there's a 200-share cap, a figure that includes any stock purchased during the last sale in 1997.
Being a shareholder won't help when it comes to the season-ticket waiting list, which has more than 81,000 names. The offering was also limited to people with addresses in the U.S., Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Soldiers and U.S. residents who are currently overseas have to use their U.S. addresses.
The Packers have been a publicly owned nonprofit corporation since 1923. The team held its first stock sale that year, followed by sales in 1935 and 1950 that helped keep the franchise afloat even as other small-markets teams were sinking.
At the time of the last sale 14 years ago, then-team president Bob Harlan was looking for ways to cover stadium renovation costs. He recalled that other owners balked, worried that the Packers would use the money to compensate their coaches or improve their roster in a way other teams couldn't.
It was only after Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney argued in favor of the idea that the proposal passed. Rooney said the Packers deserved unanimous support because they were a vital part of NFL history.
Some 400,000 shares went on sale that year for $200 apiece. About 120,000 were sold, raising $24 million.

Norwin girls look to benefit from strong nonsection schedule
The Norwin girls basketball team put itself to the test in the nonconference portion of its schedule with games against ranked opponents Plum, Shaler and Bethel Park — the defending WPIAL Class AAAA champion.
While the difficult early slate worked out to a 1-2 record at the beginning of conference play, the Knights held their own against those opponents, beating Plum and falling to Shaler and Bethel Park by three and nine points, respectively.
That kind of experience can help Norwin later, coach Brian Brozeski said, and it's already paying some dividends. Norwin (3-2, 2-0) opened section play with a 75-33 victory over Latrobe last week, and the Knights followed that up with a 69-65 triumph over defending section champion Hempfield on Monday.
"We like challenges, and believe me, we got a heck of a challenge at the beginning of our year with our schedule," Brozeski said. "We like playing against teams like that so that way, we know how we can improve. That way, we can compete and start being named as one of the better teams in the WPIAL."
Despite 11 consecutive WPIAL playoff appearances, Norwin still is working to be considered one of the top teams in Class AAAA. The Knights, who began the season unranked in the Trib Total Media Class AAAA rankings, won their first postseason game since 2008 last season and are hoping to make an even further run in 2013-14.
"We have a lot of good leadership in the senior ranks and junior ranks, and we have a lot of hungry younger freshman and sophomore girls," Brozeski said. "We're really looking forward to this season and the future in general. But we've got to, in the same respect, stay focused."
Brozeski said he used the nonconference slate to get most of the players on the court and see how well they worked together.
"We wanted to try to get as many girls through and get a feel for what their strengths are and how they can contribute to the team," he said. "That way, when certain situations arise, we know who we can plug in who can help the team to the best ability."
Brozeski was able to do the same thing in the win over Latrobe. Much of the team's roster got on the court against the Wildcats, and reserves Laura Buchanan and Danielle McMaster each scored a team-high 12 points.
"A lot of things go unnoticed — making the extra pass, being the one to set the pick or even just starting our transition correctly with a good outlet pass," Brozeski said. "A lot of those little things help contribute, also, not just getting in the scorebook. But I'm sure it's a nice little reward for them when they do get in the scorebook."
Brozeski said the team's defensive effort was also strong against Latrobe, as the Knights forced the Wildcats into a high number of turnovers and converted many of them into easy baskets. After a slow start — Norwin trailed 10-9 after the first quarter — the Knights came on strong, outscoring the Wildcats, 52-16, over the second and third quarters.
"It's one of our better performances, and it's going to be an ongoing process," Brozeski said. "Hopefully each game is going to end up being one of our better performances, and that's what we look for. First, you've got to have the effort, and second, you've got to be in the right spots. ... I like the way we're headed."
Norwin, tied for first place in the section with Penn-Trafford, will travel to play Connellsville (1-4, 0-2) on Thursday.

THE parents of a man who died in a freak railway accident have launched a campaign in an attempt to ensure the same thing can never happen again.
Simon Slade, 33, was killed after falling between a train and a station platform. He was found, still conscious, 40 minutes later after a further three trains had passed through.
He died of his injuries less than an hour later.
Mr Slade was brought up in Walthamstow and had worked locally as a carpet fitter. He later moved to Woodford and had recently landed a new job working as a forensic crime scene examiner for the Metropolitan Police.
The accident happened at Gidea Park station, near Romford, after a night out with his new colleagues to celebrate buying a new flat in Brentwood, Essex.
Mr Slade had drunk six beers during the evening, but his parents argue that at 6ft 4ins tall and 15 stone he would not have been too badly affected by the alcohol.
He ran alongside his friends' train as it pulled away, but lost his footing and fell onto the tracks.
The inquest into his death heard that the One Railway employee in charge of ensuring the train left the station safely was answering a call in his office. He stayed there unaware that Mr Slade lay dying outside because he was too intimidated to be out on the platform alone at night.
Mr Slade's lungs, head and all four limbs were severely injured. He was only found when a security worker on the platform heard his moans. He died in the early hours of January 11 last year.
The inquest jury returned a verdict of accidental death, ruling out unlawful killing.
Simon's parents, George and Jean Slade, have founded Mind That Gap to lobby rail operators and the Government to tighten safety on Britain's railways.
Mrs Slade says local stations are unsafe. She said: "Highams Park, Wood Street, St James's Street, they all have massive gaps between the carriages and the platforms.
"A mother only has to let go of a child's hand for a split second and it could happen again.
"It is the most awful thing you could ever in your life imagine happening. We've got to make a change."
Her husband says passengers must be alerted to dangerous gaps with signs and announcements, as they are at Tube stations such as Bank. He also argues that stations should be properly staffed at all times, and wants to see US-style rubbing boards' extending from the platform edge to make it impossible for people to fall through the gap.
Mr Slade said: "Simon was a big bloke. If that gap had been reduced by a couple of inches I wouldn't be talking about this now.
"Regulations only measure the space between the platform and the step, but it's bigger between the platform and the body of the carriage."
Simon Slade was single and had two brothers, David, aged 41, and Matthew, aged 28.

Cities Try to Regulate Fracking
June 6, 2014
The Wall Street Journal reports that communities are beginning to regulate fracking more closely. Until now, oil and gas wells using hydraulic fracturing have popped up across states, with drilling in subdivisions, airports and even golf courses. With leasing rights or ownership of the minerals underground, companies have been able to drill relatively freely.
But some cities have begun using zoning laws to keep fracking at a distance.
- North Dakota, home to the fracking boom, is considering instituting permits for drilling near historical sites and parks.
- Debate over fracking limits has raged in Pennsylvania as well as Colorado. So far, five Colorado cities have banned fracking, and litigation is pending.
- In Denton, a town just north of Dallas, Texas, voters will see a proposed fracking ban on their ballots in November.
Much of the debate has been between cities and states, and courts have often ruled that states can trump local ordinances.
- In 2005, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state of Louisiana could prevent Shreveport from instituting a drilling ban.
- This year, the Ohio Supreme Court will rule on whether cities or states ultimately have authority over the issue. The appellate court ruled in favor of the state after an Ohio city tried to put limits on drilling.
- In 2012, however, Pennsylvania passed a law prohibiting townships from using their zoning laws to regulate fracking. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court struck down parts of the law, giving power back to the local communities.

|Re: How to know when CouchDB is under heavy load of document writes?
|Wed, 10 Nov 2010 11:13:05 GMT
One way to detect it is to poll /<dbname> and see how fast the update_seq is changing. Since you'll need one query per database, this might not be very useful in general. You can also use iostat (atop, etc, etc) to detect how hard your disks are working and use that to determine whether it's ok to start compaction. Of course, once you've started it you'll have a problem when your write load increases. What has been done successfully elsewhere is to modify couchdb to rate-limit compaction processes dynamically, but that's a code fork and a significant piece of work, though it's surely something that couchdb will need in a future release. It sounds like you believe there will be "down time" where few or no writes are occurring but you are unable to predict when they will be? B.

Claire Messud's new novel, The Burning Girl, feels somehow different from anything she's done before...
Condition: Standard
All Product Details
"A dangerous enemy has arrived on our shores with weapons of fire . . . He's a very different kind of Wasano, bloodsucker, he always hungers for more".—from Shell Shaker
The action in this debut novel alternates between 1738, as a Choctaw family prepares for war against the English, and the 1990s, as their Oklahoma descendants, the Billys, fight a Mafia takeover of the tribe's casino. In trouble with the law and in the fight of their lives, the Billy women must find a way, as their ancestors did, to join forces against a devious foe. Humor, toughness, and resourcefulness are the Billys' only weapons.
Until the Shell Shaker shows up.
LeAnne Howe, an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is a fiction writer, playwright, scholar and poet whose writings on Choctaw women are drawn from both personal experience and scholarly research. Her short fiction has appeared in several anthologies, including Through the Eye of the Deer, Returning the Gift, Spider Woman's Granddaughters, and Earth Song, Sky Spirit, as well as in journals such as Callaloo and Fiction International.
Howe has read her fiction and lectured throughout the United States, Japan and the Middle East, and her plays have been produced in Los Angeles and New York City. She has also presented programs on recruitment and retention of American Indians at universities and colleges. Currently, she teaches in the English Department at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
In 1991, Howe received a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to conduct research for Shell Shaker.

Belarussian economy minister Nikolai Zaichenko will today ask the EBRD to help his country find private investors for six small hydroelectric stations and two combined heat and power plants.
Given the increase we have had in the prices of fuels [imported from Russia], we are very interested in doing energy saving schemes in cooperation with the EBRD, Zaichenko told Emerging Markets in an interview.
We are putting the accent on private business, and these enterprises will be privately owned whether partially or totally can be decided in the course of negotiations.
It is understood that, under the terms of the EBRDs country strategy which limits the bank to working with non-state companies in Belarus, because of the lack of political reform under president Aleksandr Lukashenko such projects could be undertaken as public-private partnerships (PPPs).
Any final decision would be made by the EBRD board. While it is understood that the US opposed amending the country strategy to specifically allow energy-saving projects in the municipal sector, nothing in the current wording excludes these projects.
Whereas previously we considered this a state sector, we have made a principled decision to encourage private investment, Zaichenko said. Let investors come, produce electrical energy, and sell it for a profit.
Zaichenko is due to raise the issue in a meeting with EBRD president Jean Lemierre today in Kazan. Mike Davey, the EBRD senior banker responsible for Belarus, told Emerging Markets: The fact that the government is looking at private sector involvement in the power sector is a positive step.
Zaichenko said that the gas price increases and changed terms for oil exports, imposed by Russia earlier this year, had not done serious harm on a macroeconomic level. In the first four months of the year, inflation had risen slightly, and stood at 2.8%, up from 2.5% in the same period of 2006. More serious was the increase in the cost of industrial goods, which was 6.5%, up from 3.1% the previous year.
But changes in the terms of Russian oil exports have had a substantial impact on our oil refineries, Zaichenko said. Profitability had sunk from 26% last year to 1% this year. This follows the decision of Russian exporters to scrap a scheme under which oil was exported 60% on a tolling basis (with refiners paid to process the oil before returning it to Russia for sale), and 40% sold outright to the refineries. All oil is now being sold to the refineries at world market prices, and they have taken out bank loans to finance the purchases.
Asked whether the government saw privatization as part of the answer to the price hikes, Zaichenko said: We have kept this issue under review since 2002, and dont forget that 42.5% of the Mozyrsky refinery [Belaruss largest] is already privately owned.
Our companies will listen to serious proposals from those who have money to spend and who can guarantee a supply of oil. Any final decision would rest with the government, he said. He declined to comment on whether Rosneft or Gazprom had expressed an interest.
Zaichenko said the ministrys analysts estimate that the European Unions decision in December last year to exclude Belarus from its system of trade preferences will cost the republic $20-$30 million. The harm this does to us is not critical, but it makes a difference. It will make our exports less competitive in the European Union.
The exclusion came after an international trade union campaign calling for sanctions against Belarus, for its failure to meet International Labour Organisation standards on labour legislation and workers rights.

Experience a Drag Show in Metro Manila in Club Mwah2013-10-08 Share Tweet
Have a different clubbing experience in Metro Manila with the drag queens of Club Mwah!
At one point in your life you'll probably want to break away from your usual hive. You're probably tired of going to the same place, seeing the same old faces and dancing to the same music. Maybe you and your friends are just not up for mingling with anyone right now, but you want something to do on your next night out.
Well that happened to me; sort of. I just don't want to go to the same clubs I went to with my friends. I just didn't want to party. Then one of my friends wanted to bring me to this certain Club Mwah in Boni Avenue. I already hated the name. She tried to convince me that it's a great show. I thought, it's probably some comedy bar. Nope, it's definitely not my thing.
But for her birthday, she decided to bring us to that place. I was apprehensive. And then I found out it was some sort of drag show—and wow! I've never heard of drag shows here in Metro Manila. So, I got a bit excited.
It was my first ever drag show experience, and it was splendid!
They had numerous performances, which we enjoyed.
Everything was colorful and the stage was set up nicely.
The dance floor will be open after the show.
If drag shows are your cup of tea, then this is a great place for you! From my experience, the crowd isn't young and if you're looking for a place to mingle, then this is definitely not it. But if you're just looking for entertainment, then go for it! Club Mwah is located in Boni Avenue.

Another week, another music partner goes solo. Last week it was Davenport Lyons' James Ware's turn to leave. An industry stalwart for years, and a partner at the firm for almost 20 years, Ware is setting up his own music consultancy.
His exit coincided with the news that dyed-in-the-wool entertainment firm the Simkins Partnership was considering a split later this year.
Last week was also Midem week. The annual music industry bash down in Cannes has long been regarded as the place to be if you want to know what's going on in the business.
Not any more.
According to many of the London-based music lawyers who made the trip (and whatever else may change, the business is still predominantly London-based), the main Midem event is past its best.
"Midem has had its day," says one music partner. "Lots of lawyers go, but they tend to be the old school ones, or the ones that have a place in Cap Ferrat and need a good excuse to go."
It may be ageing, but the procedure of the world's biggest industry gathering remains the same. Midem begins on a Sunday (23 January this year) and ends the following Thursday. "There's a direct correlation between the length of time you stay and how important you are," says one music veteran. "The more important you are, the less time you stay." According to many attendees this year, by Tuesday the event was thinning out.
During the day the action focuses on the famous Palais des Festivals, which is turned into a trade fair centre for the event. It's the same place used by the Cannes Film Festival, so you've probably seen it even if you haven't actually been there. There are lectures, panels and seminars from luminaries across the industry, although as Andrew Lewis of entertainment boutique Smiths puts it: "There's nothing to touch or see as you traipse around. It's a bit like the Boat Show without the boats."
The action at Midem as a whole centres around three hotels: the Carlton, the Majestic and the Martinez. Delegates usually make it
to the Majestic around lunchtime and then it's over to the Carlton at 6pm. At 8pm the place empties for dinner. "It's an extraordinary phenomenon," says Lewis. "You can set your watch by it." At 11pm it's back to the Carlton. The bar is full, the lobby too, and there's matting on the lobby floor to catch the slops.
But if – like a lawyer who stayed too long in the bar – Midem proper may be flagging, that doesn't mean the whole event is a waste of time. As Midem's own blurb puts it: "Midem has evolved into the place to find out what's next in the music industry. Pay attention to who is there this year and you will understand what the business will look like in five years' time." Meaning technology. The place to be this year was MidemNet, the technology cousin of Midem, which even until last year was seen as a young upstart.
"There was very little music at Midem this year, but a lot of technology," said Nick Fitzpatrick, a Denton Wilde Sapte (DWS) partner who specialises in digital content. "One presentation I saw dealt with the online delivery of music, and all but one of the panel were from the major mobile companies."
It is, of course, still early days for music downloads. Despite all the noise made about the boom this year (figures from the Inter-national Federation of the Phonographic Industry show that some 200 million tracks were downloaded legally worldwide in 2004, up from 20 million in 2003), the major record labels only derive between 1 and 2 per cent of total revenues this way – a total digital music revenue of some $330m (£175.3m). But as Charles Law, partner at entertainment boutique WGS and formerly of DWS, points out: "There's a general excitement that online music is being monetised and is no longer just a pipe dream."
The changes at Midem signify the future shape of the market and parallel neatly the issues facing music lawyers. With rates down, entertainment lawyers are becoming increasingly mobile with less of a home in the larger firms. And like the downloads, the trend is gathering pace. "The rates for a lot of music-related work have fallen through the floor and many of the deals aren't there anymore," says Clintons' Peter Button. "If you're a music partner at a City firm up against the corporate finance people who can bring in millions, the pressure must be on."
It's ironic that this development will be the cause of another change that attendees can expect to see at Midem next year. Until now, all the legal seminars at the event have been organised by the International Association of Entertainment Lawyers (Iael). Type IAEL into Google and up pops the email address email@example.com. Further investigation reveals that the current president of the Iael is Tara Donovan, a former DWS music partner now firmly ensconsed at Jamie Oliver's company 15; the secretary is Duncan Taylor, a DWS senior associate; while one of the editors is DWS's Fitzpatrick.
Next year both Fitzpatrick and Taylor will be at DLA, and chances are so will the Iael. Although whether DLA will be willing to invest in music is, according to Fitzpatrick, "yet to be decided". That's a no then.
Incidentally, this year there was one other change at Midem: for the first time, only accredited delegates were allowed into the hotel bars. Could this be the real reason the event has lost some of its shine?

Historically, providers have not been as honest and revealing as patients probably assumed. Physicians sometimes felt patients couldn't handle the truth. Decades ago, if a patient were diagnosed with terminal cancer the physician sometimes felt it was best if the patient wasn't told. Better to let the patient enjoy their last few months happy rather than sad and depressed.
Attitudes have changed since then, at least in the United States, but the subject of truth-telling in healthcare is still controversial. Is it morally permissible for a provider to purposely withhold information from or otherwise deceive a patient?
In the sense relevant here, a true statement is one that corresponds to reality, to the way the world really is. So a nurse telling a patient that his blood pressure is 120/70 is telling the truth if the patient's blood pressure really is 120/70, assuming agreement about the time and context in which the statement applies.
Sometimes there are degrees of precision involved; no one charges a nurse with lying for saying "98.6" if in fact the thermometer reading would have been more accurately described as 98.59 degrees.
Uttering true statements does not guarantee lack of deception because, as explained below, it is possible to mislead or deceive someone even when telling true statements. This has long been recognized in the words of the famous admonition to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
Lying is deception, but there are other forms:
It should be pointed out that not every instance of withholding information is a case of deception, for example if withholding information is not done with the intent to mislead or cause false belief, and in fact does not do so. If you think about it, in a sense we withhold information constantly when we leave out irrelevant details, yet this is a harmless sense of "withholding." If someone asks you where you were they do not expect a report of every step you took, just the important ones.
Using the above distinctions, we see that deception in healthcare can occur in a variety of ways. A provider can lie to a patient about the nature of a diagnosis or the risky nature of a procedure. Or, rather than lie, the provider can leave out important details and allow the patient to come to a false belief about a diagnosis or level of risk. Or, the provider can use a euphemism to describe a patient's illness instead of a more frightening term: "growth" instead of "tumor," for example. Or the provider can selectively refrain from telling the patient about some possible treatment options available in order to steer the patient toward a treatment preferred by the provider.
Such deceptions have undoubtedly occurred in healthcare. Probably in almost all such cases the providers believed they were acting for the patient's benefit, not out of intent to harm the patient. The provider lied or left out important details out of concern for the patient's mental state, or in order not to confuse the patient and risk having the patient select a treatment plan that in the opinion of the provider was not in the patient's own best interests.
If we believe that providers have an obligation not to explicitly lie to patients, do we mean that they have obligations not to tell white lies, make false suggestions, use euphemisms or exaggerate, and intentionally withhold healthcare information?
When commonsense morality holds we have a moral obligation to tell the truth it might mean something more than just the obligation not to intentionally utter falsehoods. It is probably broader, to the effect that we have a moral obligation not to intentionally mislead or deceive. If you create the same level of patient misapprehension through false suggestion as through lying, have you really been any more truthful by not lying?
It is not clear how absolute commonsense morality considers this moral obligation to be. For example, when presented with a case in which a person would have to lie to save someone from being murdered by a serial killer, many people believe it would be morally permissible and even morally obligatory to lie. Or suppose an undercover police officer on a drug case is asked point-blank by a drug dealer whether he is really a cop – does he have to say yes and get killed, leaving a family behind and blowing the whole operation? Can he instead lie or engage in false suggestion in order to save his life and to put the drug dealer in jail? Endless similar examples can be generated.
One way to interpret such situations is to say that we have a moral obligation to refrain from deception, but that this duty can be overridden, or trumped, by other moral obligations, such as an obligation to save someone's life or prevent serious harm if it causes us no significant hardship. A different interpretation would hold that the obligation "not to deceive" is better described as an obligation "not to deceive unless it would save someone's life" (or unless it would prevent significant harm, etc.). However it is phrased, many people believe that lying or otherwise deceiving is morally permissible in certain special situations.
Ordinarily physicians and other providers are considered to be bound by obligations to the patient of respect for patient autonomy, acting for the benefit of the patient, and refraining from anything that would harm the patient. Truth-telling or honesty is seen as a basic moral principle, rule, or value. Withholding information or otherwise deceiving the patient would seem to at least disrespect patient autonomy and potentially harm the patient. Respecting patient autonomy means allowing patients to make their own decisions about whether to have certain tests, procedures, treatments, or other interventions recommended by the healthcare provider. It means allowing patients to be in control of the course of their lives to the extent possible. But no one can be in control of their healthcare decisions and lives if the choices are being made on the basis of significantly incomplete information or outright deception. Then it becomes a sham choice.
A complete recounting to the patient of all possible diagnostic factors, alternative treatments and all their details, a highly technical explanation of the procedure, etc. would take an extraordinary amount of time, not to mention overwhelming to the patient. This would be simply impractical.
So it would seem something less would be more feasible. The physician may tell the patient only what he thinks the patient wants or needs to know, leaving out technical details and other irrelevant details that would have no bearing on the patient assessing risk and decide about the procedure. This might be seen as "withholding information" if it is recognized that anything less than telling absolutely everything possible is this kind of innocuous "withholding." But on this view the physician must not withhold any significant information and must not deceive the patient.
On this view, then, the physician would have to truthfully disclose the diagnosis to the patient rather than trying to cover it up, lie about it, or minimize the severity. The physician would not be morally allowed to be unduly optimistic about the likelihood of success of possible therapeutic interventions either. The physician is not allowed to give false hope. This view certainly clashes with the older, paternalistic view of physician authority that would sanction lying to the patient about terminal cancer.
(The fact that medical decisions are often made in the midst of uncertainty, dealing with probabilities, does not preclude physicians being truthful. They should be truthful about the lack of certainty without frightening patients. Some critics, however, would charge that physicians often neglect to be fully candid with patients about the uncertainty.)
An opposing perspective, or a commonly recognized exception to the "full relevant disclosure" view above, is that there are situations in which the physician may withhold significant information or deceive the patient. Suggested situations include when revealing information would cause significantly more harm to the patient than benefit (legally this is sometimes called "therapeutic exception"), when the patient is unable to consent to treatment because incompetent or incapacitated and emergency treatment is required ("emergency exception"), when the patient has previously expressed the desire to the physician that he or she does not want to know the truth if it is bad because it would be too upsetting or frightening (legally, "therapeutic waiver"), and if the patient is a child with a serious illness. Not all legal jurisdictions accept the legal versions of the above situations.
A situation in which the patient may be harmed by information would be a case in which a patient became so despondent upon hearing bad news that he or she became severely depressed and suicidal. This might be considered a harm to the patient. On the other hand, the risk of this needs to be balanced against the harm of not knowing that might occur for other patients. A patient with a terminal illness might like to know this in order to prepare for death by dealing with finances and spending time with family and friends. Keeping the patient in the dark would preclude this. There is some evidence that most patients want to know the truth, even if it hurts.
A child with a serious illness presents a special case. Children can understand only a limited amount, and decision-making rests with the parents, so they are the ones who need to know. However, many parents who have lost a child to a terminal disease think it desirable to have talked to the child rather than trying to hide it.
Some thinkers believe that the focus on patient autonomy and telling the truth to patients is an American emphasis not shared by other cultures. Some other cultures believe that in a case of terminal illness the family should be told and then they should decide whether to tell the patient. Others believe this is an overly simplistic view of non-American cultures and the basic moral principle should still apply, including the principle of respect for autonomy, because patients the world over might rather know then be kept in ignorance.

EMCO Gears Earns More Endurance Race Winning Success at the 12 Hours of Sebring
Posted by: newsla on Mar 21, 2014 - 06:13 AM
EMCO Gears Earns More Endurance Race Winning Success at the 12 Hours of Sebring
Following up its victorious success in the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona in January, racing teams supplied and supported by EMCO Gears earned even more winning accolades at this past weekendâs Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring fueled by Fresh from Florida.
The same Action Express Racing No. 5 Corvette Daytona Prototype that used EMCO components and personnel in winning the Rolex 24 overall also won the pole at Sebring and finished third outright in the race. Additional Sebring success was delivered by GT Daytona (GTD) class winners Magnus Racing, which is the only Porsche 911 GT America team using EMCO gears competing in the IMSA TUDOR United Sports Car Championship.
EMCO Gears has been involved in North American sports car racing for over 30 years with its proven gearboxes but the all-American manufacturer offers much more than race and championship-winning transmissions. Both the Rolex 24 and the 12 Hours of Sebring, the first two events of the inaugural IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship season, were also milestone races for EMCO as the Chicago-based company supplied a variety of technology and services for Actionâs Daytona Prototypes and the Magnus Racing Porsche 911 GT America.
âWe knew that following up on our Daytona success would be a challenge but we were once again delighted with the hard-earned results that our partner teams worked so hard to achieve,â said Dan Cota, EMCO Gears Director of Racing. âFor a time it even looked like the No. 5 was going to win back-to-back endurance races but we are delighted with the third-place showing and, of course, Sebastienâs outstanding pole-winning run. We were also fortunate to support GTD winners Magnus Racing which, as the biggest and most diverse division in the series, is no small task.â
As they did for the Daytona victory, EMCO supplied top personnel and four different key technical components and assemblies to both the No. 5 and its sister No. 9 Action Express Corvette Daytona Prototypes. Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi and Sebring pole-winning driver Sebastien Bourdais once again co-drove the No. 5 in the grueling half-day Sebring race that is run in part on a former World War II airfield.
Magnus Racingâs winning trio included John Potter, Andy Lally and debuting team driver Marco Seefried. The teamâs No. 44 Magnus Racing Porsche 911 GT America is the only team currently running EMCO Gears internals in its Porsche transmission.
âWinning Sebring requires perfection on every level,â said Potter, Magnus Racing team owner and driver. âPerfect pit stops, perfect driving, perfect strategy, and every component on the car needs to be flawless. With EMCO we knew we had a quality, reliable product and they delivered like always. Weâre very happy to share our win with them.â
The 2012 Tequila Patrón North American Endurance Cup (NAEC) GT winners, Magnus moved into contention to win another NAEC title with the Sebring win. The No. 44 is also third in the IMSA TUDOR GTD standings and Seefried, who finished third with another team at Daytona, is second in the NAEC GTD driver rankings and the overall GTD driver standings.
The No. 5 Action team and its drivers have also remained at the top of the points charts in not only the overall IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship Prototype standings but also the NAEC Prototype standings. The No. 5 Action entry is also the only Prototype in the IMSA TUDOR Championship to have reached the podium in each of the yearâs opening two races.
"EMCO Gears is over the moon with the performance of our partners Action Express,â Cota said. âTheir lead in both the Patrón Endurance and TUDOR season championship is possible by their driver line up, aggressively planed strategy and choosing the best possible equipment to get the job done.
Action Express is one of the first to take advantage of EMCOâs trackside service program, which assigns a fulltime and factory-trained technician to participating teams. The program includes any and all maintenance at either EMCOâs Indianapolis-based technical center or trackside at a test or race event. Actionâs assigned technician was once again a fully integrated member of the team with them from the onset of preliminary testing last year at Sebring straight through the finish of the 12 hour last Saturday night.
EMCO technical components supplied to the Action Corvette Daytona Prototypes include not only gearboxes but also the manufacturerâs equally strong axle, Tripod axle and rack-and-pinion steering assemblies.
âThe Sebring track is challenging with so many gear shifts on the 17-turn track,â Fittipaldi said. âWe go from very fast to very slow in a very short time. That puts lots of pressure on the entire drive train. Both Action Express cars ran every lap of the race and our gear changes were smooth and trouble free. Our third place finish and our teammates eighth place finish speak for the reliability and performance of our EMCO gear package.â
Designated the GA46-5.0, the EMCO gearbox used by Action and other top IMSA teams is designed to have a long cycle life so no major changes are needed to the transmission at a race, including one as long as the 12 Hours of Sebring. The speed-gear section of the transmission is also of a cassette design, easily removable for pre-race inspection or quick repairs, neither of which was needed during the combined 36 hours of racing at Daytona and Sebring. The gearbox case and its components are cast or milled using superior-strength-graded aluminum as holding gears and bearings at their designed positioning is everything in transmission reliability, particularly on a bumpy track notoriously as tough as the 3.74-mile Sebring circuit.
While the gearboxes and Chevrolet V8 engines combined for the winning drivetrain on the Action Express Corvette Daytona Prototypes, it was EMCOâs axles and in-house designed Tripod axle system that capably transferred the power to the track. A result of a long-term process of near misses, the Tripod axle is an onboard component that is a critical marriage between a three-point joint and the internal dimensioning of the housing. The combination keeps the various moving parts in and coming out of the gearbox from crashing into each other, a critical balance that must be maintained for more than 12 hours at Daytona.
The final EMCO component used by Action was the companyâs rack-and-pinion steering system. EMCO manufactures its steering system with the same attention to detail given to a precision set of gears or a critical axle assembly. A light-weight, billet-aluminum housing is engineered to correctly hold the rack and pinion at the designed mounting distance while quality gear geometry makes for a very smooth operating system.
In addition to Action Express, other premier IMSA TUDOR United SportsCar Championship teams taking advantage of the EMCO Gears culture of operation include the No. 31 Marsh Racing/Whelen Motorsports Corvette Daytona Prototype, the No. 91 and No. 93 SRT Motorsports Viper GTS-R GTLM entries, the No. 33 ViperExchange.com SRT Viper GT3-R GTD entry and top manufacturers Coyote Cars, Riley Technologies and Dallara Automobile.

Something doesn't add up..
SUBMITTED: Saturday, March 08, 2014POSTED: Saturday, March 08, 2014
If you only wrote 6-8 checks a month on this account, AND someone was cashing a check DAILY, AND you were going to the branch EVERY Week. Why did you never withdraw all of your money out of that account and at the very least put it into another account, at worst take it to another bank and deposit it?
What do you mean they never notified you? You by your own words stated you went there every week? Are you saying that in that entire time you never once looked at your balance or the number of checks written? If that is the case then why would you appear to continue to cover the losses by depositing more money into the account?
What did the police say when you told them all they had to do was hang out at the bank and wait for this person to make their daily withdraw?
Why did the withdraws abruptly stop?
It seems like there is a lot more than you are not saying.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

What reasons did they give for their response to you? There is definitely something being left out of this Ripoff Report.

By Joe Carberry
A beautiful thing happened on the river this weekend. The world's best kayakers met on one of Earth's toughest whitewater runs to test themselves and push the limits of the sport. It was a pinnacle moment. And everybody knew it.
Despite rain showers and inconsistent weather, hundreds of people lined the banks of Idaho's North Fork of the Payette as paddlers dropped off a steep Red Bull-sponsored ramp above Jacob's Ladder and charged through Rodeo Wave, Rock Drop, Taffey Puller and on into Golf Course.
And those hardy spectators were even more pumped to see one of their own win it all. Despite a field packed with the biggest names in whitewater, local boater Ryan Casey was a favorite going in. The 35-year-old Hailey, Idaho native grew up running the North Fork and has studied the river's every rock and wave since he was 19 (he's also one of the most underrated paddlers of the last decade with impressive descents in Nepal, Peru and Russia among others). His two runs down Jake's were some of the cleanest all day.
"Home turf advantage for sure," Casey said. "But, really, I wish we could all just go paddling instead of running Jake's over and over again."
Early Saturday morning, before world class paddlers like Pat Keller (below), Rush Sturges Chris Gragtmans, Ben Marr, Andrew Holcombe and all the others chased gates through the giant slalom course at Jakes, they gathered for a quiet breakfast at the Dirty Shame in Crouch, Idaho, discussing their lines and working together on strategy. The humility in the room was palpable.
"I didn't have my best race but I'm just happy to have survived it," Sturges said afterward. "I think every kayaker feels the same way. Just running Jake's on its own is a scary thing to do. When you couple a race in it just adds to the intensity factor. End of the day, everybody getting to the bottom safely, it was a very successful event."
Jacob's Ladder certainly showed its teeth, forcing two swims and several aborted race lines where paddlers were rescued from precarious positions and opted out of their runs. With an impressive vertical drop along Idaho's Highway 55, "Jake's" is a complicated maelstrom of rowdy hydraulics and sharp rocks. Spectators at the bottom of the rapid were actually looking up at a mountain of whitewater as the paddlers began their descent down the North Fork's crown jewel.
Kayakers were required to catch the eddy at Rock Drop (a standard move) after punching through Rodeo Wave about 20 yards above. They were then forced to pull a dangerous ferry from river left to river right, using the backwash at Rock Drop to make a gate on river right. Two more tough gates followed, one at Ocean Wave and another below in the heart of Golf Course. "Getting to the right bank was definitely a crux," Casey said.
Organizer James Byrd pretty much nailed it on all accounts, organizing shuttle rigs, meals and safety to help create one of the best race venues in recent memory, especially considering the ease of viewing for spectators. "All the amazing paddlers were here," said Tyler Bradt who ended the day second. "The North Fork is this infamous place with amazing whitewater that you hear about since you start kayaking. To have this type of event organized at Jacobs Ladder is really amazing. James did a great job." Canada's Mikkel St. Jean-Duncan finished third.
Despite the big crowds and coliseum-like viewing area, paddlers were forced to block it all out and focus. "It's great, it's a spectator event, it's roadside but Jacob's Ladder is that type of rapid where you drop into it and there's nobody there but you," Bradt said. "You are very alone on that rapid even with hundreds of people on the bank."
The scene that ensued after Casey's victory was announced at the awards ceremony was a show of pure spontaneous joy as Gem State paddlers celebrated with their native son. Casey was nearly gang tackled by a crowd of revelers as he approached the stage and then forced to guzzle a beer through a bong made from a Pink Flamingo yard ornament lovingly nicknamed "Flabongo." The 6'7″ paddler was then hoisted atop shoulders for a free celebratory ride through the crowd.
"I feel good that the energy came," said Byrd. "I did everything I could to get everybody here. They came and it worked. Everything worked."
Notes from the Serious Side: The North Fork Race is part of several different points series: The Western Point Series and the Association of Whitewater Professionals Whitewater World Series. The AWP, formed by Pat Camblin, seems to have the most steam. Last year's Whitewater World Series champ was Frenchman Eric Deguil followed by slalom crossover Isaac Levinson (Atlanta, Georgia) and New Zealand's Sam Sutton. Levinson wasn't able to compete on the North Fork because of a shoulder injury suffered after he was accidently speared by Bradt in a practice run earlier in the week on a section above Jake's. The Little White race kicked off the six-event series. Next stop is Voss, Norway June 28. Casey and Bradt both earned automatic bids into the Whitewater Grand Prix this December in Chile.

Intense negotiations are under way behind closed doors in Washington, D.C., as congressional leaders horse-trade the main provisions and the various riders attached to the pending Transportation Bill.
City Hall, I too dislike it — in its present state of disrepair. It depresses with neglect.
Dear Aidan R. Smith: You asked me for a response to your letter to the editor ["Student Disconnect," 5/31], so here it is.
I'd be celebrating, too, if my company were just handed $3 million more in profit than even we had said was required to build a spa-like enclave for wealthy students in downtown Eugene.
As the campaigns for the two Lane County commissioner positions come to a close, we've been hearing far more about the violations of Oregon's Open Meetings Law by Commissioners Handy and Sorenson.
This letter is in response to the April 19 letter from John Vawter of Capstone to Diane Chavez, the Olive Plaza administrator.
Deciding to endorse and strongly support Pete Sorenson (commissioner for South Eugene including Whiteaker and the Jefferson/Westside neighborhoods) is an easy task.
Who is Andy Stahl? It's not clear, from reading the campaign literature and newspapers, what Stahl's political philosophy is.
It is important for our community that we re-elect Pete Sorenson as Lane County commissioner. There is no other candidate who has Pete's experience or his knowledge or will hold to those core values that are central to the long-term health and well being of our community.
We each have our own perch from which we watch the political season play out. These days I'm just a rural geezer down here southeast of Cottage Grove.
What the bleep? Oh, a Skype from the Preacher.
I suppose it makes a kind of desperate sense to think about stepping up logging again on the BLM's O&C lands.
Dear Eugene: You can't say I didn't try. Or that I didn't give you a second — or third, or fourth — chance.
Let's begin with the word "disingenuous." Disingenuous means insincere, devious or false. Isn't this really the description of the Eugene Budget Committee position "that they remain 'animal friendly' but merely want to provide animal services by a cheaper model." The facts of the matter appear as follows.
I was having my favorite drug of choice, dark roast Sumatra, with a man I'll call The Preacher.
Food is fundamental to life. In the warmth of the summer sun, fruits and vegetables grow abundantly.
Across the UO campus, teachers and researchers are organizing to create a faculty union.
"Ellen passed away." Even over the phone I could tell my friend was fighting tears. Just the day before, I attended the 10th annual meeting of Lane Independent Living Alliance (LILA). We talked fondly about Ellen Bombero and her role in its tumultuous beginnings.
The Oregon Legislature must soon decide to fund or not to fund the construction of a state mental hospital proposed to be sited south of Junction City. That decision will determine the focus of treatment for Oregon's mentally ill population for years to come.

- Carbon ceramic-faced seals are general purpose, stainless steel seals that are typically used in food processing, petrochemical and wastewater applications with relatively clean effluent.
- Tungsten carbide-faced seals are popular types that provide harder seal faces for more demanding applications in more viscous fluids.
- Silicon carbide-faced seals are typically used for the most demanding slurry type (highly viscous fluid) applications.
No matter the material of construction, seals are wear devices. Surface abrasion on the outer seal could lead to seal failure, allowing fluid to enter the motor. In this situation, the oil chamber and moisture probes provide a key safety feature for long motor life. The probes are set to the resistivity of the oil that fills the chamber. If the outer seal fails and water mixes with the oil, the moisture probes detect the moisture influx and send a signal, via a control module, to a control panel warning alarm. This gives the user time to shut down the pump, change the outer seal and restart the motor.
Submersible motors are not like other induction motors. They are specifically designed to safely operate in and under water. Their rugged construction, secure sealing and protective safety monitoring provide long life and safe operation with pump equipment.

I have uploaded the file 362842 on the wikisend.com
Opening the file on a different computer or email it caused it to replicate additional rows and text boxes.
I started from the third page down
I will have to go to the office as the file works fine on the computer at home where I created it. It will take me about an hour before I am there.
Hello Richie,
I feel pretty stupid, I have been opening the file in a minimized window mode, if I maximize the window it is fine. I will still pay for your help though, so just one more question, the intent of this workbook is to have a review every 6 months and all reviews for the same employee will be in the its own work book. I will just copy a blank form to the next work book sheet; my question - have I defined the macro to work on each individual sheet or should it be for the the work book itself, if so how do I do that?

Best Of :: La Vida
In 1988, Phoenix's Public Art Program scored its first commission — a pair of murals by Mexico-trained artist Roberto Delgado. A lot has changed in that part of the city in the last 20-plus years, but the murals — combining elements of the city's ancient irrigation system with modern features from the neighborhood — have stood the test of time. In fact, we hear, they've barely been tagged, which is all but unheard of and a nice juxtaposition to what happened to the infamous pots commissioned by Phoenix not long after.
Lucky Phoenix: Delgado is a celebrated muralist and painter who lives in Los Angeles but spent a great deal of time in Chiapas and was a Fulbright fellow in Mexico City. His commissioned murals can be found in places including Alaska, Minnesota, and Nicaragua.
On one hand, it could be said that chef Doug Robson's Otro Cafe is a complement to his first restaurant, Gallo Blanco, in the way of very good and deftly prepared Mexican cuisine. In another sense, it's a more elevated companion that can hold its own. You'll find outstanding, bulked-out tacos here, as well as the Spanish-style tapas called El Español, an Inca salad made with nearly a dozen ingredients, and the satisfying tocino con rajas torta, a kind of BLT run through a Mexico City kitchen. For dessert, you'll want the postre de coco, a delicate creation of creamy coconut pudding topped with chocolate shavings that's reminiscent of a Mounds bar gone gourmet.
For the longest time, this 36-year-old neighborhood staple in Central Phoenix had pared down its menu to just its famous green chili and red chili burros. Not that anyone was complaining. When you serve essentially just two dishes (and a couple of variations on each) and the lines are still out the door, you're doing something right. Earlier this year, the family-run hole in the wall (truly, no signage or dining room to speak of) expanded its menu to include excellent beef and shredded chicken tacos, bean tostadas, cheese enchiladas, and cheese crisps. They now accept credit cards, too. And just like that, Rito's got even better.
Have you had the chicken burro at Asadero Norte De Sonora? Because if you haven't, you're missing out on a kind of chicken burro nirvana — a piece of wrapped paradise in the form of stellar shredded bits of mesquite chicken, frijoles, shredded cabbage, and creamy guacamole. It will make you feel happy. It will cause you to grin while you polish off your grande agua fresca. And most likely, it will see you in its modest little restaurant home again. This time, perhaps, with a few loaded tacos, a chicken dinner with all the fixin's, or a giant smoking grill of parrillada.
When Victoria Chavez started Los Dos Molinos nearly 40 years ago in Springerville, Arizona, she hardly could have imagined her New Mexican-style restaurant, named after two antique chile grinders, would be the fiery family business it is today. The original Phoenix location, housed in the adobe-style onetime home of Western silent movie actor Tom Mix, keeps the home fires burning with packed plates of meltingly tender adovada ribs marinated in a spicy red chile sauce, chunky chimichangas slathered in green chili, and potent margaritas enjoyed on the casita's courtyard patio.
There's nothing like a neighborhood restaurant that's actually, well, in a neighborhood. And this homey spot just off historic Glendale's main drag has been serving old-school Mexican eats since 1949. Originally Lily's Cafe, it became Fajardo's in 2009 when Alfredo Fajardo, the son of the original restaurant's cooks, reopened the place, keeping the old recipes intact. There's nothing over-the-top here, just good, hearty plates of crunchy beef chimichangas, cheese enchiladas, and oven-roasted pork chops (a Sunday special) with strips of green chile. Judging by the regulars who regularly pack the place, the neighborhood approves.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
The display is working. Electricity is on and I can hear the motor running.
Yes, I can feel the air moving in the freezer and it is very cold. Some feeling of frost but wall is not iced over and frost does not come off on fingers.
I can't change the temperatures from what the displays rereading. hey were Freezer at zero and frig at 37. Now they are Freezer at -5 and frog at 34. Can youadvise how to change them back?
For some reason, I pushed the up buttons for each side and this time it worked. Will we be able to keep this line of communication open for awhile just in case it decides to change again?
no, I did not power off and on, just changed the temp settings and all was well the rest f the day and evening through this morning.
Isn't there anything else i can do? I live 90 miles from Phoenix and will lose everything in freezer and fridge!
The display changes, but changes back. It is lit and I can hear the electricity running.
At 4:45 pm the temps were 14 freezer and 48 fridge
Now at 5:05 they are 7 Freezer and 45 fridge.
This happened yesterday, so could it be a pattern?
Could I have too much stuff in the freezer?
I feel cold air moving in the freezer and if you mean the grate above the freezer, I do feel warm air coming out there. I took off the face plate to feel it
Okay watch it and make sure the temperature keeps dropping. I suspect it will, check it every hour or longer.This is what I think may be happening and your going to need to catch it. There is a regular defrost cycle, the refrigerator will shut off, defrost the coils in the freezer and then turn on again to the cooling cycle. I think it is staying off too long. So tomorrow around 3 try to watch it and see if it shuts off and stays off long enough to warm the refrigerator. It should not do that, the freezer will warm a little, 3 or 4 degrees.If you can catch it I will know what to do. Also if you catch it make sure the numbers are lit on the display and that the buttons will change the numbers.Barry
The temps are still dropping. In fact, the freezer is where it needs to be right now at 0. I will keep checking and thanks for now.If it is off too long, what is the fix for that?
Please send the instruction sheet for the main control board. Is it usual for this to happen after only six years?
That does explain it then. Thanks
