Spalling is a specific damage that occurs in concrete due to the expansion and contraction of water in the concrete surface during freeze-thaw cycles. Spalled concrete can be recognized by severe flaking on the surface of a concrete slab. Patching spalling concrete can be done successfully, but it requires removal of the affected area, followed by the placement of a new thin layer of concrete. The new layer restores the strength and looks of your concrete surface and protects against further damage, extending the life of the concrete slab.
Things You'll Need
- Chisel
- Hammer
- Power washer
- Water
- Bonding adhesive
- Nap roller
- Concrete patch mix
- Bucket
- Electric drill
- Paddle drill bit
- Trowel
- Self-leveling compound
- Squeegee
Clear the flaking concrete chips from the slab. Use a chisel and hammer to break chips away from the slab.
Use a broom to remove the chips, dirt and any other debris from the surface of the slab. Clean the slab surface using a power washer. Wash in a single direction, away from the foundation of any buildings. Allow the concrete to dry completely before continuing.
Place duct tape around the concrete slab, covering the edges of any bounding surfaces so the patching material will not spread over adjoining surfaces.
Use a nap roller to spread a layer of bonding adhesive across the entire surface of the concrete, including the area to be patched. Allow the adhesive to dry so it is tacky to the touch but no longer wet. The adhesive aids the patch in bonding to the old concrete.
Prepare a batch of concrete patch mix according to the manufacturer's instructions in a large bucket. Use an electric drill with a paddle attachment to mix the patch thoroughly. Pour the patch material into the damaged area cleared with the chisel. Spread the patch using a trowel, smoothing it throughout the damaged area until level with the surrounding undamaged concrete.
Mix a batch of self-leveling concrete overlay. Add any colorant desired to the mixture during preparation. Pour the compound over the entire concrete surface including the patch. Spread the compound evenly across the surface of the concrete using a squeegee. Allow the compound to dry according to the manufacturer's recommendations. As the compound dries it will level itself, creating a smooth, even surface over the concrete while also concealing the patched area.

Now it wasn't long since the new Amazon Kindle (3) was announced and having been released at an aggressively low price-point earlier in the week, it is hardly surprising that the competition was hot on the trail. Now it's Sony's turn and the new range of e-readers seem a fair improvement over what has gone before.
Firstly, the two new Sony e-Reader models both feature a new, slimmer aluminium design and all new touch screens, meaning that not only are they more attractive to look at and lighter to hold, they may finally have provided a more acceptable and functional touch screen to work with after the development of optical touch screen technology designed specifically for reading. You seldom see an e-reader with a decent touch screen, and before Apple iPads start racing through your mind, I'm talking about dedicated e-readers here. So, it will be interesting to see whether or not Sony have finally made a real Kindle competitor for the European market.
Both of the new models, which include the pocket and touch editions and not the premium offering, offer 2GB of onboard memory, which allows up to 1,200 books at any one time. It's simply more than you are ever likely to need or indeed, read. Other new features include the Oxford Dictionary of English as well as 10 translation dictionaries to and from English in French, German, Spanish, Italian and Dutch. A feature included in this new dictionary functionality is the ability to create 'word logs', giving readers the ability to track words they've looked up in various orders while quickly switching between translations.
As an e-reader is all about the display really, it is important to note that Sony claim their new display is readable in direct sunlight, an area where former products from Sony have failed to match the Kindle. Using an E-Ink Pearl electronic paper display with ultra-high contrast, both offerings in the new range offer 16 levels of greyscale great for text and images and similar to the new generation of Kindle. So let's take a look at them and see what's separating the two new models.
Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350)
As ever, the pocket edition features a five-inch, full touch screen and is extremely thin and light so as the name suggests is perfect for on-the-go reading and keeping in a bag or pocket. It is available in a plain silver colour or alternatively in pink, as ever.
Sony Reader Touch Edition (PRS-650)
The touch edition may not be a great deal bigger physically, sporting a six-inch display, the same size as the Kindle, with full touch capabilities. Another improvement over the pocket edition is the SD card slot, which allows for up to 32GB of additional space so you can keep either more thousands of books, or MP3 or AAC files for audio book or music playback. This, more expensive, entrant into the market is available in silver or black.
Both models also feature great functionality for reading PDF's or other documents, including a zoom feature as well as adjustable contrast and brightness control. Plus, with other qualities such as multiple page creation make it easier for the user to read large documents on a smaller screen.
So that's about it in terms of new features, and it seems a great improvement over the previous models and Omar Gurnah, Reader category manager, Sony UK had his say. "The success of our previous line of Reader products illustrates book lovers' demand for open format and full touch screens on their digital reading devices. Today, we're answering their call for more by providing two beautifully designed, full touch screen devices which work with a variety of eBook stores."
There is still no connectivity, 3G or WiFi, with the models meaning you must download books from your computer before you leave home and for me this is still a huge down side to the Sony offering when you consider that the Kindle, which really sets the benchmark in the industry at the moment, has free global wireless. However, in its favour it supports more formats of e-books than the Kindle including the Google Books EPUB format and is more widely marketed than the Amazon device, so I predicted a great deal of interest in device from non-geeks, so to speak, who stumble across the device in shops.
The new Sony e-Readers will be available from 17th September (The same date as the second wave of Kindle pre-orders are due) from Sony Centres, Sony.co.uk, Waterstone's, WH Smith and other high street retailers. Accessories will arrive in due course too.

Three arrests in connection with Paul McCauley murder
Three more arrests have been made by police investigating the murder of Derry civil servant Paul McCauley in 2006.
A 24-year-old man and a 36-year-old man were arrested in Derry and Coleraine today (Thursday) and a 27-year-old woman was arrested on Wednesday night.
Mr McCauley died last month in a care facility as a result of the injuries he sustained in an attack at a barbecue in Derry's Waterside area.
He had been with two friends when a gang of 15 people emerged from nearby bushes and attacked them.
Mr McCauley was 29 at the time of the attack.
Since his death last month, the PSNI have stepped-up their investigation into the attack.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Harvey said: "I want to thank those individuals who have come forward with information regarding the murder of Paul McCauley and attempted murder of his two friends.
"This is a very active investigation.
"I would like to make a further appeal for information from anyone who was at or near the scene of the brutal attack on Paul and his two friends which occurred at 105 Chapel Road in Londonderry.
"I am appealing in particular to those individuals who were in the Irish Street area of Londonderry on 16 July 2006 between 1am and 4.30am who may have crucial information regarding this investigation.
"Please come forward and tell us what you saw or heard or what you know.
"People can contact detectives at Maydown on the non-emergency 101 number or use the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 if they prefer to provide information anonymously."

Yankees pounce on Harang, beat M's 6-1
Thu., June 6, 2013, 10:18 p.m.
SEATTLE – In the hours before the Seattle Mariners took on New York in the opener of a four-game series Thursday night at Safeco Field, M's manager Eric Wedge was asked if he believes teams can suffer an emotional hangover when they sustain a disheartening loss like the 16-inning marathon the day before against the Chicago White Sox.
"There can be," Wedge said. "You have to do your best to stop that. I always talk about separating."
For two innings, you wouldn't have sensed any negative carryover for the M's. Then starter Aaron Harang came completely apart in the third, and as much as Wedge might have wanted innings out of him, he yanked Harang near the end of a six-run Yankees outburst that sent the visitors toward a 6-1 win.
It dropped the M's back to nine games under .500, equaling their season low.
Speaking of separating, Yankees starter Phil Hughes did a pretty good job of it himself. Back on May 15, Seattle bashed Hughes in the shortest start of his career – two-thirds of an inning – during which the M's tattooed him for seven runs.
Hughes must have learned well, because he was up to the challenge on this night, getting his team to the last of the eighth and shutting down Seattle on only three hits.
Down by six in the eighth, the M's finally broke through on Kyle Seager's run-scoring double.
New York pounded out seven straight hits in the third, including Robinson Cano's three-run homer and Mark Teixeira's solo shot.
Blake Beavan, who was recalled from Tacoma on Thursday to provide long relief, took over for Harang with one out in the third and retired the first 14 batters he faced.
Beavan, who began the season as part of the Mariners' rotation, took pitcher Hector Noesi's spot in Seattle.
Amateur draft
The Mariners drafted D.J. Peterson, a third baseman from New Mexico, with the 12th pick in the amateur draft on Thursday. It was the second time the Mariners had drafted him. In 2010, they took Peterson in the 33rd round out of high school.
They picked Austin Wilson, a 6-foot-5, 245-pound outfielder from Stanford, in the second round (No. 49 overall).

How would you define Nationalism?Nationalism is the belief that sovereignty rested not in a monarch or a church but in the people, and that they, banded together, constituted the nation.Nationalism associated itself with Liberal and Humanitarian ideals.At the CORe of Nationalism was a feeling of cultural identity among distinct groups of people who shared a common language and traditions and who belonged in a nation-state of their own. 2. What are the problems that Nationalism addresses?Nationalism adressed the problem of feeling left out. nationalism can go anywhere on a spectrum of different ideologies because its offers a sense of community. Nationalism brought people together in common pride in their nation. Nationalism also brought people together because of their shared history and their beliefs. Nationalism also unified GERMANY and the war of Liberation. 3. what are the ideals of nationalism?Nationalism promised to:- unify nations - liberate subject peoples from foreign rule -create a sense of fraternity among members of a national community-lead the community to common destiny 4. how would someone use nationalism to motivate people?Germany used nationalism to unify the country. groups and secret societies such as young Germany promoted a sense of national identity and unity.forced in ITALY, POLAND, and elsewhere, nationalists formed similar organizations and intellectuals created interest in national languages and folk culture. 5. What are the specific reforms or changes desired or demanded?Germany needed a better sense of community . They wanted a greater unity in their policies and principles. 6. What vision of the future did Nationalism propose? Nationalism also moved people who didn't yet share a state. nationalist used the growing interest in language and history to proclaim their nation's special mission. Nationalism also promised a new sense of community as the old order with its traditional allegiances declined. nationalism also offered a sense of strength and unity that appealed to many people: people who were threatened with foreign domination, people who were dissatisfied with the dominance of one ethnic group, and people who were feeling suppressed by what they considered foreign domination. 7. what makes nationalism unique?nationalism works for every type of government. the main goal of nationalism is to bring people together in unity instead of ruling for only one group of people. 8. Where did nationalism take hold or demonstrate particular influence?Germany, italy, POLAND, AND HUNGARY are examples of places that adopted nationalism into the way they rule their territories. 9. who were people who supported nationalism? Johann Gottfried von herder (1744-1803) fostered a sense of national identity arising from german folk culture and oral traditions.GEORG WILHELM FRIEDRICH hegel (1770-1831) provided philosophical and historical bases for german nationalism and the importance of the national state. Heinrich von Gangern ( 1799-1880) was a liberal who helped to organize Burschenschaften, german student fraternities dedicated to national unity.

Seen yesterday a documentary on Maldives which are immersed little by little by Indian Ocean. Only those which have 2 meters (6.5 in) above ocean are lucky enough for the next decades. What a strange thought about the frailty of these pieces of paradize, bairely touching the danger: 2 meters are not much. And if you take a global perspective on the situation, the atmosphere layer above our head, it's not that much either. The thickness of the glass.

THE RAID confirmed for English-language remake from Screen Gems
In September we reported the rumor that Screen Gems was planning a remake of The Raid. Comingsoon has now confirmed that the remake is officially happening.
Gareth Evans directed the original film that tells the story of "an elite SWAT team that becomes trapped in a tenement run by a notorious drug lord, his two highly violent martial arts killers, and a personal militia armed with machetes and machine guns. Stranded on the 6th floor with no way out, the SWAT unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission."
The Indonesian action film had a great showing earlier this year at the Toronto Film Festival, and will now receive an English-language version fromm XYZ Films, which produced the original film as well. Evans will serve as exec producer only, and will not write or direct this new English language film. The fight choreographers of the original film will also be involved with this remake.

"Not being treated by The Royal Gwent"
About: Royal Gwent Hospital / Accident & Emergency Royal Gwent Hospital Accident & Emergency NP20 2UB
Posted by Ehlle (as ),
OK, so I'm generally not fussy and I'm not one to usually complain either.
Sunday I was admitted for my gall bladder. I know its my gallbladder, however they have their suspicions but cannot confirm it is without a scan. On Sunday night I was admitted, given far too much tramadol which did take the pain away but I was left feeling out of it, and then decided to wake me up at 1 am to send me home because I was not in a desperate state and my pain was under control. As understandable as that is, I couldn't believe it. 1 am! They discharged me with buscopan, ibroprofen, paracetamol and anti sickness meds.
On Thursday, the pain relief wasn't working at all, the pain had radiated to my chest and I was in agony. I left this episode of pain to go on for 12 hours, until I decided to to return, bearing in mind I'd had 4 more episodes since leaving the hospital Sunday and returning Thursday.
I waited in a+e for two and a half hours. I can confirm that admission is based on how much pain you are in. I guess I can hide my pain well as I was told if I had asked for pain relief I'd have been seen there and then.
I finally got seen, same procedure as Sunday, I was sent to another section of the hospital for more check ups where I would wait for 4 and a half more hours!
Finally, I'm admitted to the SAU unit. I was still in pain, and I had to sleep uncomfortably on a chair as there are no beds. I was not given any pain relief for a few hours either, just a drip. They told me they would do a scan, they would get me a bed, they would keep me in until all pain is managed.
I finally got a bed! If you can call a trolley a bed? Either way I'm not fussy like I said. I just wanted pain relief. I'd barely slept, and was waiting patiently for a scan.
Finally! Scan time! Uh, not. The doctor came over and told me I was being made an outpatient, I'm not In a life or death situation so I was going home with the pain relief which didn't work. I was gutted, I cried. The doctor was rude, very very blunt and not considerate at all.
I was made to feel like an object, like my importance was nothing, my pain was nothing and that I was fit and well. That's not the case at all!
I've got tramadol, ibroprofen, paracetamol and cyclizine with me at home, they don't work for me. I'm currently sat in bed writing this feeling like I'm having a mini heart attack due to my gallbladder problems. They wouldn't listen to me.
I have to wait like this for 2 weeks now. I can't go back if I wanted to. I feel silly after breaking down in frustration with them, given my family history I never thought they would discharge me without having the scan at least, which is all I wanted.

Mises Wire
Issing on Hayek & Bernanke
In contrast to a certain other, one central banker we shall miss after his impending retirement is the ECB's Chief Economist,Otmar Issing.
In one recent speech, he paid fulsome homage to Hayek and opined that:
It is obvious that only a free market economy is consistent with a free society. Only within such a framework can people act as free individuals and make the best contribution to their own well-being and that of others.
In another recent address, he was rather less enamoured of Deity-Elect, Ben Bernanke's ludicrous theory of the "global savings glut" [see below].
Both are worth a read, if only to make us further wonder how this man could have tolerated the c.40% increase in the ECB's balance sheet these past 3 1/2 years — a phenomenon which has contributed to the inflation of the Continent's very own housing bubble.
However, there is one fundamental weakness in the savings glut hypothesis. This flaw is that it is hard to blame countries for having a strong preference for savings and even harder to make them directly responsible for the excessive consumption and investment behaviour of debtor countries.
By definition, a current account "imbalance" always involves two parties: one that has excess net savings and thus records a surplus, and one that has excess consumption and investment, i.e. a current account deficit.
And while some countries may choose to accumulate surpluses, there is nothing that then automatically forces other countries to consume or invest more than they save domestically...
On the other hand, the (ex ante) relationship between savings and high levels of global liquidity, which we are observing today, remains an open issue. The savings glut hypothesis ignores the fact that a significant part of what is measured (ex post) as "savings" starts (ex ante) as excess liquidity.

power measurement system Applications
Water Monitoring and Flow Measurement Systems for Water Power
Hydro power contributes to supplying approximately 3,5 per cent of electric energy generated worldwide. Its share in power generation from renewable resources lies at 18 per cent and will continue to grow as resources of fossil fuels are depleted. Hydro electric performance depends essentially on the usable altitude difference between upper and lower reservoir, and hence the resulting water flow. In order to use the "fuel" water in an optimal way, the flow velocity has to be monitored without any interruptions. Ultrasonic flow meters, flow sensors and clamp-on flow meters (OR clamp-on technology) are ideal for accurate flow metering and flow monitoring.
By HydroVision GmbH based in Kaufbeuren, GERMANY.
Gas monitoring instruments and systems for engine emissions measurements
The exhaust gas from combustion engines is a complex mixture of gases and particulate matter. The composition of the gas may change rapidly. Multicomponent analysis of exhaust gases can be performed with a Gasmet™ FTIR Gas Analyzer with a response time (T90) of one second. The winning combination is the result using of a small volume gas sample cell, a powerful sample pump and a fast detector with liquid nitrogen cooling. The analyzer, sampling system and computer can be assembled on a cart for use in a dynamometer laboratory, or the portable version can be used for roadside tests.

Water Monitoring and Flow Measurement Systems for Hydrology
In recent years acoustic flow measurement and flow metering has established itself as the standard method for measurement in many hydrological stations but is also used as the basis for various applications, for example for flood protection and flood forecasting. Ultrasonic flow meters are also used in hydro-engineering constructions. With this almost contact free technology data can be recorded continuously and it provides 24/7 monitoring. Such flow monitoring is particularly important in waterways used for shipping, transportation, irrigation, drainage and for cooling water extraction of power plants. A further important use of transit-time open channel flow meters is the transportation of water used for the supply of drinking water. Here the focus lies on detecting the flow rate of water loss at an early stage as it is sometimes difficult to detect small leakages.

Water treatment for power plants
The process of electricity generation from fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas is water-intensive. Between 40-50% of all water abstracted and used in developed countries is used in the generation of electricity. Thus, a reliable, abundant and predictable source of raw water supply to a power plant is a critical factor in site selection. Water supplies are required to provide various process waters for the following essential main purposes such as make-up water, cooling water for steam turbine condensers, and auxiliary plant cooling water.
The primary application of modern water treatment technology is to maintain the integrity and performance of the power plant. Critical plant applications have water purity or conditioning requirements that must be adhered to for safe, reliable and efficient power generation.
Experience has shown that integration of water technology treatments with power plant design can be very important in reducing operational problems and component failures
At power plant worldwide there are increasing limitations on water availability and environmental restrictions on discharges. This is expected to promote measures for water conservation and to have an increasing influence on water treatment decisions. At power plant, the recycling of internal wastewater streams can extend from the recovery of individual high-quality waste streams, which can be reused either directly or after only limited treatment, through to the development of fully integrated water/wastewater treatment systems for zero liquid discharge. However, the application of reuse schemes requires site-specific assessment, as not all waters may be viable options for recovery.

Gas monitoring instruments and systems for stack testing
Several EU directives and national laws in European countries set requirements for continuous monitoring of flue gas emissions at power plants. Further requirements are set on the quality assurance of the installed measurement systems at the plants. The relevant standard in this regard is EN 14181:2004, the quality assurance of automated measuring systems. The standard dictates how to determine that the measurement systems installed for continuous emissions monitoring at a plant operate according to the directives and regulations set. Two major parts of this on-going quality assurance cycle are the QAL2 and AST procedures. A test laboratory performs tests on the systems on-site, and determines whether the systems fulfill the set requirements or not.

High quality gas sensor solutions for landfill
State-of-the-art systems enabling easy monitoring of CO2 and CH4 gases. Capped Landfill Sites produce a range of gases, mostly methane and carbon dioxide. Legislation requires that these gases are safely removed from beneath the cap to avoid a physical explosion due to the build-up of pressure beneath the cap. Safe disposal usually entails burning such as flare stacks, internal combustion engines or by processing to produce Methane gas fuel. For large sites with access to power distribution infrastructure internal combustion engines are used to generate electricity which is fed into the local electricity grid. All of the above safe disposal process require the measurement of the Methane content (and in many cases the CO2 concentration). Edinburgh Sensors provide gas sensors for both Methane and CO2 that can be integrated into landfill gas processing systems enabling easy monitoring of these gases.

Arktos is an evil snowman and the main antagonist of Tabaluga and its 1997 TV series. According to Tabaluga's biography, he has to stop him from turning his home into a frozen wasteland. He also serves as the main antagonist in the 1999 Germany-only video game. His eyes are yellow on his hat. He also appears in the musical, Tabaluga and Lilli.
Biography Edit
Ruler of the Ice World, Arktos has eyes attached to his top hat and a collection of frozen animals. Although he has a fond of ice cream, Arktos plans to turn Greenland into a frozen wasteland. His workers of the Ice World are polar bears, seals, walruses, musk oxen, and penguins. In addition, he has a wolf worker in one episode ("Someone is cheating"). Not only that, but chameleon worker Kayo works for him alongside James. He also has a pet shark named Fritz who broke his carrot nose. Arktos also has a penguin named James who assists him. He also has an owl named Shouhu who is his former prisoner for him to foresee. Arktos has a walrus named Attila, who is his cook, including an ambassador which is a vulture named Vultur. In the episode Humsin, Arktos reforms in this episode, along with the other residents of Greenland, and his residents of his kingdom also help get Humsin out of the kingdom since he is damaging the forest's environment. Sometimes, he and Humsin have an argument to destroy Greenland by determining which element to choose. Sometimes, this is why he reforms in some episodes from the second season to the third season.
Villainous Roles Edit
- His most famous villainous role is when he and James raise a baby crocodile. The two attempt to take care of him. Arktos abandoned the innocent baby crocodile. The crocodile's mother starts to chase after Tabaluga, thinking he abused her baby. He points her that it was Arktos and James who abused him. The mother crocodile calls it child abuse. She tries to kill the James and Arktos who abused the child. He and James later get chased away by the mother crocodile for kidnapping her baby. This appears in the episode, "Mother Arktos."
Other media Edit
- Arktos also appears in the 1990 game show Tabaluga tivi in live action.
- Arktos makes his final cartoon appearance in the movie Tabaluga and Leo as the main antagonist. He plans to destroy Greenland with a bulldozer which is from Leo. In the human world, Leo's family accidentally crashes into him. Though he is not dead yet, James takes his body to restore him in his castle.

My Frigidaire front loader washer is not spinning when full. It spins ok if only a small amount of clothes are in it. We just replaced the belt, but it didn't help the problem. Should I just buy a new one or is this fixable?
Lori from Pleasanton, CA
We just had a similar problem with our front loader except ours stopped spinning altogether. We couldn't find anyone who wanted to look at it. My husband had already found the belt was not the problem. One repairman suggested he look at the brushes connected to the motor which turned out to be the problem. Apparently they have a little tail which stretches over time (normal wear and tear). Ours had fully stretched and were no longer making the connection required to spin the drum. My husband replaced the brushes and we're up and running (or should I say spinning!) again.
The drum is spun by the belt and motor, with it spinning with a half load I would say that the belt you got was the wrong size (to big) or the spring loaded self adjusting tenisoner isn't working, motors for the most part either work or they don't but it would be worthwhile to spin it by hand and see if it's freely spining, if it isn't it needs to be replaced.
My Hotpoint front-loader spins only when empty or with the motor removed from the machine. All else appears fine.
By Alex
You may need a new belt. That's been my problem. Good luck! carmen1951
My LG WM2277HW front load washing machine would not spin after washing. I dissembled the washing machine and replaced the broken iron "spider" behind the tub. After I re-assembled it, it does washing fine, but would not do normal spin. It seems the machine was trying hard and the tub turned for a few rounds, but could not pick up the speed and stopped, and then tried again, still could not pick up the speed and stopped, then finally showed a sign indicating "abnormal stop". Not sure if I messed up some switches during the dissembling and re-assembling.

How old is washer? If it is 10 years, tranny might be going; buy a new one. There should be a tech number for your company, technicians can give you a lot of clues to follow up on. They've been very helpful to me, when there was still life. But yours might be transmission.
my front end loader is having difficulty going into high spin, tried but stops
At first all it wouldn't do was fast spin, but it did everything else. Now it has stopped rotating altogether; what could the problem be?
By Sam
You did not provide the washer brand, year model, etc., so difficult to help you. However, you can check the product booklet for possibilities, ask the store where purchased, and also check the manufacturer's website for help-customer service.
My GE front loader won't spin/drain at the end of the cycle. The washer goes through the whole cycle fine, but won't spin to drain out the water at the end. I changed the catch basin and it is still not working.

Looking for an answer to this question, been on here for two days and the only thing I get is to clean the drain pump. Is there someone out there who really knows the answer to this question?
My front loading Kenmore washer model #417 sounds like it is spinning, but does not even though the belt is fine.
By John F
The drive shaft may be worn. Call the repair man. I have had that happen.
I have a Frigidaire Affinity washer, model number ATF6500FG0. It will not go into the spin cycle. The washer does everything else, but won't go into the spin cycle.
By Cliff from Cochrane AB Canada
Not sure about yours, but my front loader had a built in filter and it got clogged and wouldn't spin, opened the a little door on the front cleaned it out and works like new. I hope this helps, try calling the company and asking them what the problem could be. It could be minor and they might tell you over the phone.
We have Frigidaire Gallery series stacked washer and dryer. The washer make a loud bang and is making a noise when spinning. Also the clothes are not spinning dry as they normally do. I think this could be a popped spring - however is this all it could be? Any help is appreciated as I usually repair our appliances.
Thank you.
I have a Frigidaire front loader and it will run water for a time and not long and won't spin. Then sometime after that it will shut off. What could it be?
By Crystal
3 days ago my Maytag front loader washer stopped and threw a code. So I looked it up and it turned out the drain behind the front panel was clogged. I fixed it. Well now when the washer is done I go to put the clothes in the dryer and they are soaking wet. So I checked the drain again just to make sure and it's clear. The washer is not throwing a code. Any ideas on what the problem is or could be?
By Chad M.
It spins with nothing in it, but with clothes it barely spins. I changed the belt and the motor sounds like it's rattling.
By Elmer T.
I have a Frigidaire front load washer and the drum and pulley won't spin. It feels like it's locked but when I apply a little pressure to spin the pulley it becomes unlocked and spins. When I start the washer it locks up again after a few minutes.

My ex boyfriend broke up with me last week because he wanted to grow by himself as a person and now was not the time. It was difficult but I don't want to wait until he thinks it's time because I want to protect myself from being hurt if he finds someone else (he's very volatile, he could love you one day and break up the next) which is what he did to me.
I am 20 years old, was wondering if I'll ever love someone again. He was my first boyfriend and we dated for a year. Has anyone else dated better people after breaking up?
Most Helpful Guy
Sorry to hear about that. If it's your very very first relationship then it's more than likely to occur. It's' just the reality of it, no relationship is absolutely certain or guaranteed to last forever, things change, people change, and there really isn't anything you can do to control or prevent the situation from changing.
You are still feeling attachment toward him, then just take time off and keep yourself busy with what you want to and like to do. Don't dwell on it. You can Not control how your boyfriend thinks, acts, or feel. If he is uncertain about being together with you, he may have second thoughts. It will take time to heal if you are still feeling hurt. Time to meet up and talk with your other friends or relatives and hang out with them, and get any support and or advice that you may need from them.
Find something productive that you can do and have fun, even if it's time by yourself. Don't rush into some new relationship or rush back into the dating scene or you might make haste judgments. Healing emotionally requires patience.00|00|0
Thanks for MHO!

Yeah. I lost my first when I was just turned 21, we were together 2 years, and I felt like I would never feel that way about someone like that ever again, but I did and I loved him even more and then that all fell apart after 4 years and now I love someone else... hopefully for the last time. So yeah, there is hope :)11|00|0

Starting over is like pressing the reset button on a game that makes you lose all your points and wipes out any of the good stuff you've spent hundreds of hours learning...
Surviving the year is all Milo has to do. Start to finish in one whole piece...But it's not just a new school he's dealing with; it's a new house, a new neighbourhood - a whole new life. And it's one without his mum in it.
Milo and the Restart Button ~ a tall tales & short stories review
On the press release for Milo and the Restart Button, author and illustrator Alan Silberberg mentions that his mum died when he was nine years old and there is a profound sense of his own loss that adds a resonance and poignancy to what is a deeply heartfelt yet humorous story.
I shed a tear or two while reading this charming, moving story while at the same time cheering Milo on in his quest to settle into a new house and school, and to make new friends. I cared about Milo and I genuinely felt his loss, yet at the same time Alan Silberberg has deftly woven humour into what could have been a very painful read and throughout the book there are funny comic strips and pictures that punctuate the text and help lighten the mood.
I feel that for any child, or adult come to that, who has suffered the loss of a loved one, this book shows that such sad times can, and should, include both tears and laughter. That it's okay to grieve, to feel sad, to cry, but more than anything, it's okay to remember and to want to remember the person who has left your life.
This book is easy to read yet profound in how it tackles such sensitive and heartbreaking subject matter. It's moving and funny in equal amounts, a poignant story told with a light touch, and I'd thoroughly recommend it on so many levels and to readers young and old.

Engaging Elementary School Students
*All apps mentioned are available for all IOS devices.*
Click here to visit the iTunes App Store
#1 Curious Ruler
(Grades 2+)
This mobile app provides students with the opportunity to measure and explore objects within their environment. It engages students of all ages to learn about size, measurement and proportion. It is very visual and meaningful for students as they are able to compare and use familiar objects to discover new information about new objects.
This app would be especially helpful for math or science class when students are asked to measure and record data as well visually understand the size difference between objects. Sometimes in math word problems the question may state that an object is 5 times larger than another object. Getting a visual sense of what that actually looks like would really help student make sense of the learning that is occurring resulting in greater and more meaningful understanding.
#2 Star Walk
(Grade 6+)
This interactive application allows individuals to learn and discover the night sky and all that it entails. It provides visual understanding and interaction with learning as it follows your every move. Discover over 200,000 celestial bodies in the night sky with this awesome constructivist centered mobile app!
This application would be especially helpful for elementary school science students learning about the night sky. In the grade 6 science program of studies the one required units to learn is "Sky Science". In this unit students learn about constellations, moon phases, planets and the solar system as a whole. Students could be asked to track the night sky when they go home at night (and share with the class) or even host a class field trip for star gazing where students can interact with this technology and learn through self-discovery. Providing an opportunity for constructivist learning would be very effective and engaging for student understanding
#3 Reading Raven
(Grades K-3)
This app teaches younger children the basic reading skills in a fun and interactive way. The app can be adjusted according to reading level and developmental abilities. Children using this engaging learning tool are able to have fun and receive rewards for their progress (positive reinforcement). There are a variety of games individuals can play to develop and practice the essential literacy skills.
In the classroom this app can be a great tool to help young learners develop their reading skills as well build confidence in their ability to do so. Reinforcing to students that reading is fun, and essential to effective life long learning is key. This app could be implemented as a reward for students to play with once all required class work is complete, as well could be encouraged to be used at home for students. Furthermore this app can be used during Language Learning class as a center which the students would rotate to throughout the class period.
#4 Tower Math
(Grades 3-6)
Click here to learn more about this app.
This 3D interactive math game provides a fun way for children to practice their math skills (specifically arithmetic). As app designer FreeCloud Design Inc. (2014) states about this app, " The numbers have been turned into monsters by an evil wizard! As you add, subtract, multiply and divide, you build towers with magic powers that can free the numbers. You can also use your math skills to earn special powers like the Freeze Ray and Magic Rain." This app relies on rewards for students to practice and become more proficient at their math skills.
This arithmetic math game can easily be integrated into classrooms as a game that can be played during free time, or even at home to practice. One class a week students could even get the chance play this game to engage them deeper into learning and most importantly enjoying it. If math has a purpose for students the students will succeed. What better way to motivate students to enjoy math than to let them build towers and castles!
#5 Montessori Geometry
(Grades K-6)
This app is a great tool to help young individuals to learn a about 2D and 3D shapes. With the constant reinforcement of shape names and images, children are able to remember and become more familiar with the geometric shapes. The various games and puzzles offered by this app encourage children to challenge themselves as well have fun while doing so.
This app can be used in the classroom to practice and become familiar with the multiple geometric shapes. As one of the requirements for learning under the Alberta Program of studies, this app provides a fun way for students to learn the required content. Opposed to paper and pencil worksheets on geometric shapes, students can work interactively using this app to bring an new level of engagement to the learning process. It can be used during class time, during free time, as well as at home for further practice.
#6 Montessori Numberland
(Grades K-1)
This app helps young learners grasp the basic counting skills from numbers 0-9! With very interactive and animated activities children can learn how to count and write numbers while staying engaged and having fun.
This would be a great app to integrate into kindergarten classrooms especially since it targets the main program of studies requirements of counting and writing numbers. It would be a great tool for students to practice their skills in a fun interactive way rather than pencil and paper. It could be used as a whole class activity or an option during center/free time.
#7 Class Dojo
(Grades 4+)
As stated on the DoJo website, "ClassDojo is a classroom tool that helps teachers improve behavior in their classrooms quickly and easily. It also captures and generates data on behavior that teachers can share with parents and administrators.
Better learning behaviors, smoother lessons and hassle-free data - and its free!
This is a great tool to implement as a teacher into classrooms as it motivates students to behave as well allows teachers, students, and parents to communicate privately about behavior (whether it's positive or negative).

Visible Result After 1 Treatment - Melbourne, AU
I had a treatment on my abdomen. The treatment started off very comfortable but was quite prickly towards the end; some of the pulses were as painful as laser hair removal. Pros: Stomach feels firmer and looks less jelly-like almost straight away (think Homer Simpson jelly test...) Good result considering it's very cheap compared to lipo and there was no down-time Con: Small... READ MORE

Artie Kerns has hunted turkeys for 15 years, but never had an opening day like the one on March 23.
It took six shots, but he bagged a turkey that by all accounts is the second largest killed in Georgia.
Kerns, a local hunting-plantation manager and a jailer at the Oconee County Sheriff's Office, has already been contacted by Georgia Outdoor News for a story and possible cover photo for an issue of its magazine in 2003.
And word has passed in hunting circles around the state about the record turkey that was taken in Oconee County. Kerns doesn't want to publicize the location to avoid trespassers on the property, who probably think where there's one big turkey there's probably another.
It's been a few weeks, but Kerns remembers the hunt well.
Opening day for the season was sunny and cool. Kerns, his long-time hunting partner Maxwell Pentecost and fellow jailer Chuck Johnson were in the woods hunting. Kerns said he called up a group of turkeys that morning. Johnson missed a shot at the birds, causing them to scatter so they called it for lunch.
By mid-afternoon Kerns and Pentecost had returned to the forest. They were in an area where a thicket of small pines met a hardwood forest along a logging road. Kerns, using a Pittman Black Diamond caller, made a turkey call and it was answered, so the hunters set up about 20 yards apart.
''This gobbler (the one he shot) and another gobbler were down at the bottom and two hens were on the hill. The more we called the madder they got. The two hens were about 35 yards away and they were fighting. We ran those birds off because we didn't want them to go down there with the gobblers,'' he said.
Kerns began calling for the gobblers and it took about 75 minutes before one of the gobblers came within 50 yards but they still couldn't see him because of the tight pine growth.
''I finally caught a glimpse of the bird. I didn't have a shot. It was super thick,'' Kerns said, saying the bird kept moving from right to left. There was one opening where the bird passed and it was there Kerns said he pointed his shotgun to await an opportunity.
''I made a real loud putt on my call and when he stepped in the hole he stopped and stuck his head straight up. I pulled the trigger. When I ran to him, the bird got up. I shot again and you could see one pine tree break apart. I blew the pine tree down,'' he said with laugh.
''The bird cut to my left and I shot again. That's three shots and that's it. I had some extra shells in my vest. I dropped a single shell in and he's still cutting back to my left. I pulled the trigger on a fourth shot and it rolled him. I dropped another round and shot a fifth time. I know I missed because I saw tree bark and pine straw fly up.''
''I had two shells left in my pocket. By then I was in the thick pines and he had worked his way to the logging road, where Maxwell was. Maxwell had his shotgun on him, but he knew the bird was hurt, so he wasn't going to shoot unless it looked like he was going over the hill to the swamp. I dropped another round. I had a clean shot and I pulled the trigger.''
The turkey was down.
''That three-inch magnum had me so punch drunk after six shots I walked up to the edge of the road and threw my shotgun down into the pine straw,'' Kerns said.
''Maxwell went over to the bird and said, 'Oh my God. What a bird. He started counting and said 'Man you're in at least the top 10.'''
''I said 'Top 10 of what?' and he said 'Non-typical turkeys.' He counted out eight beards,'' Kerns said.
The bird also weighed 20.89 pounds.
Taking so many shots was highly unusual for Kerns. On two occasions he has killed two turkeys with one shot.
''Since I've been turkey hunting in the last 15 years, I've only missed one turkey and I've never shot at another turkey more than once, so I guess I made up for it,'' he said.
After bagging the turkey, Kerns contacted state wildlife officers and two members of the National Wild Turkey Association from Buford came and had it certified. He took his trophy to local taxidermist Jim Sellers for mounting.
Kerns said he missed out on the state record because that bird had a beard 17 inches long and its spurs were a little bit longer.
''If I had an eighth of an inch more on the spurs I would have beat him,'' he said.
Kerns said turkey hunting is challenging, much more than deer hunting.
''I've been doing it for 15 years now,'' he said, ''and I still seize up when a turkey is gobbling and coming in.''

FW: Symposium on the Communication in Organizations - Call for Pa rticipants
FW: Symposium on the Communication in Organizations - Call for Participants

Subject: Symposium on the Communication in Organizations - Call for
To: ANTHRO-L@...
Call for Participants
1st International and Interdisciplinary Symposium on the Communication in
University of Mannheim
March 29-31, 2001
The Departments of Business Administration and Organizational Behavior
(Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Alfred Kieser), and Romance Languages - Linguistics
(Prof. Dr. Christine Bierbach), take great pleasure in extending to you the
invitation to attend the 1st International, Interdisciplinary Symposium on
the Communication in Organizations, to be held at the University of
Mannheim, Germany, from the 29 to 31 of March, 2001.
Communication is nowadays more and more frequently considered an essential
parameter in the construction, maintenance and change within organizations.
This has resulted in an ever growing importance among qualitative
conceptualizations of the notion of organizational communication
(interpretive, symbolistic, anthropological and semiotic approaches). In the
same vein, qualitative approaches have gradually become established in the
research of organization theory as well. At the same time, in such fields as
Sociolinguistics, where research has always been traditionally qualitative,
a marked interest in the specific conditions pertaining to communication in
utilitarian organizations has also witnessed substantial growth in recent
times. Nevertheless, overlaps in the research between the qualitative branch
of organization theory and the sociolinguistic research of businesses have
been to date very sparse. Difficulties in tying both academic perspectives
together seem to be generated most especially by the problems of
constructing macrostructural models out of the analyses of interactive
behavior (bottom-up analyses).
The Symposium's objective will be to sound out desiderata of qualitative
research concerning the roll of businesses as both a social construct and
context, and to formulate requisitions for an interdisciplinary research
program. The most current research on the topic will be presented by
internationally recognized experts. The conference will be held in English.

For me, it's sad to see any game company shut down. Whether I was a fan of their work or not, to me it sucks to hear that people are going to lose their jobs, especially when timed so close to the holiday season. But in the case of Eurocom, I get a little angry. Regular people were quick to say they should've stopped developing 'shitty games', lest they wanted to jeopardize their jobs… but that is not the case. Nowadays in the industry, it is not up to normal employees to have input on what they are going to do and the vision on how they are going to do it; it is up to the big VPs who simply slap a project at their feet and say 'go'. The irony of the situation is that those VPs will most likely get huge severance packages when the company liquidates its assets. (But that's a rant for another time). Eurocom was an extremely talented team that delivered one of the finest Wii games to thirsty Nintendo fans. Love it or hate it, the Goldeneye remake was exceptionally enjoyable, plus it had functioning online multiplayer. The problem with its port over to the HD consoles and the recent 007 Legends was that they were both uninspired messes and repetitive carbon copies. Most importantly, they failed to grasp the true importance and charm of playing as James Bond. The sad part is that Bond is not all about blowing things off and running away. There is a huge emphasis on investigation, exploration and slyness that goes with playing 007. For one, it can't tie in with the movies. Take a hint from Batman; no one wants to play a movie anymore. We want unique storylines and intertwining villains, maybe set in the same universe but I do not want to run into La Chiffre playing Texas Hold 'em. Make it heavy on exploration, ditch the first person perspective. I hope there is an Arkham-Revival (a term I coined of a released game that rejuvenates a dead genre or theme) for Mr. Bond, because he really deserves it. Where would we be without Oddjob? Do you agree? Disagree? What did you think of Skyfall? @DNL_KHN

whatever, if pittsburg had an NBA team they would have won, watchout for those pirates! (or i guess we can just go with pennsylvania and the phillies)
Going out on limb, anyone watching the Lakers Parade right now? Pretty good coverage.
Couldn't care less about their parade plus I'm at work.
I was at work but I can't see any reason why I'd have watched their parade.
You have to be a Laker fan to care. DUH. I wish I could have been there! I had to settle for the brief highlights on BSPN.
It's good to see that LA has a gay pride parade too. Thought only Frisco hosted it.
LOL. Perhaps one day Cleveland will get their gay pride parade. (with Shaq of course)
Can't wait!! Only one more year!!
It might be a few. The dynasty still has a couple more to take home!
the "dynasty" needs to resign odom and ariza if they want to return to the finals IMO
No worries. Mitch will work his magic. It's allll good.

Jimmy Kimmel Gets People to Lie About Their March Madness Knowledge
Why be truthful on camera?

Should Kanye have painted giraffes during halftime? Does Devry stand a chance against the University of Phoenix? And more importantly, does Fresno State Cosmetology Academy have a shot at going all the way this year? It's questions like these that Jimmy Kimmel posed to people on camera last night, all of which they answered with lies, so many lies! March Madness can be baffling to any newcomer, but sometimes it's better to admit you're just clueless unlike these people.
