Energy Saving Tips for Your Appliances
Major appliances use about 13 percent of the electricity load in a home. Finding practical and actionable ways to reduce that pull does more than lower your utility bills each month, however. Electricity is a key player in the escalating environmental problems. You can save money and do your part for the environment by giving your home an energy evaluation. Appliances are a good place to start.
- Locate your refrigerator in a cool location (away from direct sunlight and other heat generating appliances) to make it easier for it to maintain temperature.
- Monitor refrigerator temperature and keep air cold inside by keeping the doors closed as much as possible and ensuring door seals are working properly.
- Let hot foods cool before placing them in the refrigerator.
- Be sure to leave room for air to circulate when you load your refrigerator.
- Clean condenser coils regularly and commit to regular service and maintenance to identify potential energy (and food) wasting problems before they occur.
- Use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts, which help refrigerators work efficiently.
- Scraping instead of rinsing dishes saves over 55,000 gallons of water over the life of your appliance.
- Run your dishwasher only when it is full to get the most bang for your energy buck.
- Use the air-dry option or open the door to allow dishes to dry following the rinse cycle. On hot days, run your dishwasher at night to prevent daytime heat buildup in your kitchen.
- Wash during off-peak hours. Local utilities recommend avoiding heavy energy use at specific times of the day.
- Dry full loads whenever possible.
- Dry towels and heavier items separate from lighter weight items.
- Don't over-dry clothes. Use the moisture sensor if your machine has one.
- Clean the lint screen with each load for efficient operation and to prevent fires.
- Periodically vacuum the lint screen slot on your clothes dryer using the long nozzle tip of your vacuum cleaner.
- Scrub the lint filter once a month using a toothbrush if you use dryer sheets, as they can leave a film that reduces airflow and affect performance.
- Allow items to finish drying with the heat remaining in the dryer using the cool down cycle.
- Have your dryer vents professionally cleaned and inspected annually to ensure the efficient operation of your dryer and prevent fires. Only 25 percent of lint is actually captured by the lint trap.
NOTE: Because all dryer models use approximately the same amount of energy, they are not rated by the U.S. Department of Energy or included in ENERGY STAR ratings.
Commercial Ice Machines
- Place your ice machine in a cool location, 90 degrees F or less, so it won't have to work as hard and consume excess energy.
- Shift production to off-peak hours when energy rates are lower.
- Regular cleaning of mineral deposits and water filtration are not only necessary to high quality ice, but they also keep your machine operating efficiently. Be certain to follow manufacturer maintenance recommendations on cleaning and filter maintenance for the most efficient use of your commercial ice maker.
- If possible, choose an air-cooled model to save on extremely high water bills.
- Opt for an ENERGY STAR model, which is 15 percent more energy efficient and 10 percent more water efficient than standard models.
Ice Machines
- Minimize the amount of time doors and lids are left open, closing the lid when not in use to keep cold air in.
- Change water filters regularly.
- Regularly remove mineral deposits to prevent water flow restrictions.
- Ensure the seal on your ice machine or refrigerator is in proper working order.
- Place ice machines in a cool location, away from heat producing appliances such as ovens and dryers, so they don't have to work as hard to maintain temperature.
- Clean your ice machine regularly according to manufacturer recommendations to ensure equipment is working properly and efficiently.
- Eliminate potential energy wasting issues by identifying them early through regular service and maintenance.
- Replace parts with manufacturer recommended replacements. This reduces energy waste, as these parts are made specifically to work with your ice maker.
Microwave Ovens
- Unplug your microwave when it's not in use.
- Use microwave ovens whenever possible for cooking, as their shorter cooking times save energy.
- Arrange food properly to shorten cooking time. Don't pile up food. Place thicker foods closer to the edge and thinner foods toward the center.
- Use the minimum cooking time and check to see if food is done to save energy and prevent food from overcooking.
Washing Machines
- Wash full loads when possible, using the appropriate amount of water for the size of the load when loads are smaller.
- Utilize cold water whenever possible. Switching from hot to warm water can cut energy usage by half.
Bar Coolers
- Purchase an appropriately sized bar cooler for your refrigeration needs.
- Locate commercial bar coolers in cool areas, away from heat generating appliances or sunny locations where they will have to work harder to maintain temperature.
- Keep the doors of commercial bar coolers shut when not in use.
- Monitor the temperatures inside commercial bar coolers to ensure coolers are operating properly and are not in need of service and wasting energy.
- Follow manufacturer recommended maintenance routines, including inspecting door gaskets for dirt, damage, and leaks-cleaning evaporator coils and making sure vents are clear of debris.
- Select only high quality, efficient replacement parts.
Walk-In Freezers
- Routinely monitor temperature and thermostat settings to assure efficient operation and the safe storage of food.
- Keep the door closed when the walk-in is not in use.
- Ensure doors close properly, replacing worn gaskets when necessary.
- Install strip curtains as insurance against open doors. They are a low cost energy efficiency measure and offer a one-year payback.
- Be certain to follow manufacturer recommended routine maintenance to ensure your walk-in is operating properly and efficiently, protecting your food investment. Routinely have the refrigerant charge checked, the evaporator and condenser coils cleaned and more.
- Purchase high quality, properly sized, energy efficient replacement parts when repair needs arise.
- ENERGY STAR does not regulate commercial walk-ins at this time. However, as walk-ins are one of the largest energy consumers in the building, it is imperative to consider efficiency when selecting a commercial walk-in cooler for your business to keep utility costs under control.
- Locate freezers in cool locations, away from heat producing appliances and other heat sources, so they don't have to work harder to maintain temperature.
- Keep cold air in by minimizing the amount of time doors are left open and ensuring seals are working properly.
- Monitor freezer temperature, which should be kept at zero degrees Fahrenheit.
- Defrost regularly or when frost reaches levels of more than one quarter of an inch.
- Let hot foods cool before placing them in the freezer.
- Keep your freezer full. Full freezers maintain temperature much better than those that are nearly empty.
- Identify potential energy (and food) wasting issues early with regular service and maintenance.
- Use only manufacturer recommended replacement parts, which work more efficiently with your freezer.
Commercial Freezers
- Store commercial freezers away from other heat generating appliances in your kitchen, and away from locations that get too hot.
- Don't prop your freezer door open. Close the door when it's not in use.
- Wait for foods to cool down before putting them in your commercial freezer. This prevents it from working harder to maintain temperature. If you need to cool hot food quickly, use a blast chiller.
- Make sure the temperature is set to the correct level (-10 to 0 degrees F) to prevent spoilage or forcing the compressor to run longer than necessary due to excessively cold settings.
- Establish a regular maintenance plan to keep commercial freezers running efficiently. Clean the evaporator, coils and fins regularly inspect door seals and check for vent blockages regularly.
- If your condenser or motor fails, be sure to invest in a high-efficiency motor for big energy savings down the road.
- When selecting a commercial freezer, choose the best size to fit your needs, opting for models with electronic controls and magnetic seals for optimum savings.
Ovens, Stove Tops & Ranges
- Keep burners clean for efficient operation.
- Cover pans to prevent heat loss.
- Turn off the oven or burners a few minutes early and let accumulated heat continue to cook foods.
- Use the right size burner.
- Use the least amount of heat necessary to cook food adequately.
- Don't use excessive amounts of water when boiling - the more you use the more energy it will take to bring it to a boil.
- Use ceramic bake ware. Baking in ceramic allows you to reduce oven temperatures as much as 25 degrees.
- Keep the oven door closed. Peaking drops the temperature by 50 degrees.
NOTE: New ovens and stovetops are not rated by ENERGY STAR at this time because there are no federal energy regulation for these appliances. Be sure to carefully compare energy usage when selecting a new model.
Pizza Tables
- Look for ENERGY STAR qualified commercial pizza tables for significant energy savings over the lifetime of the appliance. These models are far more efficient than older units which use outdated refrigerants and technology. Pay a little more up front for bigger savings in the long run.
- Heat sources can compromise open ingredient areas. Avoid possible bacteria growth and food borne illness by locating your commercial pizza tables away from heat sources such as sunlight and ovens to ensure efficient operation.
- Blocking vents near the condenser impedes air flow. Keep this area clear for optimal temperatures and efficiency.
- Periodically check pans for poor seals due to dents and damage that could allow cold air to escape and force your unit to work harder.
Sandwich Prep Tables
- Locate commercial sandwich units away from heat sources, such as sunlight and ovens, to help them run as efficiently as possible. Be aware heat sources can also compromise open ingredient areas, resulting in bacterial growth.
- Don't block vents near the condenser; this impedes air flow.
- Prevent cold air from escaping and your unit from working harder due to poor seals from dented or damaged pans.
- Open doors as infrequently as possible and close them quickly.
- Don't store ingredients at temperatures lower than necessary. Keeping items in the base at 40 degrees and ingredients in the top at 41 degrees Fahrenheit should be sufficient for most items.
Steam Tables
- Opt for ENERGY STAR labeled products, which are up to 50 percent more energy efficient than standard models. ENERGY STAR models have shorter cooking times, higher production rates, less heat loss, and more efficient steam delivery, saving up to 90 percent of water used compared to standard models. What's more, these efficient products may qualify your business for rebates and tax incentives.
- Setup a schedule based on daily lulls in business, such as noon to dinnertime, keeping steam tables covered when not serving to prevent temperature fluctuations. Regularly switch out pans if service is slow.
- Routinely check the temperature of your commercial steam tables to prevent bacteria proliferation and prevent the spread of foodborne illness. Keep water levels maintained throughout the day to ensure efficient operation and wipe down and sanitize wells at the end of each day to prevent bacterial growth.
- Bent edges on steam table pans create gaps that allow steam to escape, costing you a great deal of money by compromising the heating ability of your tables. Replace pans or straighten the edges with a pair of pliers.
Vent Hoods
- Choose an appropriately sized ventilation hood for your kitchen's needs.
- Arrange cooking equipment properly so that your hood is located squarely over your stove.
- Installing a variable speed vent allows you to save 30-50 percent on ventilation costs.
Wine Coolers
- Locate wine refrigerators in a cool, dry environment, away from heat generating appliances.
- Close the door when the cooler is not in use.
- Monitor temperatures inside your wine cooler to identify energy wasting issues as quickly as possible.
- Perform regular maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer to keep your wine cooler working efficiently.
- Wine refrigerators are not a part of the federal ENERGY STAR Program, so be certain to carefully compare energy efficiency ratings when purchasing a wine cooler.
Window AC Units
- Purchase the right size system for the job. A window unit that is too large will actually work less efficiently and less effectively than a smaller, properly sized model.
- If you have it, don't run central air conditioning at the same time as window units. Use fans to circulate air instead.
- In the summer, set your thermostat to the highest possible comfortable temperature. The smaller the difference between indoor and outdoor temperature, the lower your cooling bill will be.
- Don't set thermostat temperature to a colder setting than normal when you first turn on the system, this will not cool the room any faster and can result in unnecessary cooling costs.
- Don't locate your air conditioner next to heat generating appliances.
- For optimum energy savings, consider upgrading window units to newer, Energy Star rated models. Newer window units are 20 percent more efficient than units 10 years old and older. What's more, Energy Star rated models use about 15 percent less energy than conventional window units, and offer features such as timers which allow for the cooling of a room with minimal energy use.
Biggest Energy Culprits in Any Home
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the one appliance that uses by far the most energy after heating and cooling equipment is the hot water heater. This means the appliances that rely on hot water, such as the dishwasher, are costing you even more. The best move you can make when upgrading your water heater is to switch to an energy efficient or tankless model. From there, the next major appliance putting a dent in the electricity is the clothes dryer with the refrigerator coming in at a close second.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, this is how the numbers break down for the average home. These figures assume your home has newer appliances, however. The numbers would shift dramatically if the refrigerator or freestanding freezer were 15 years old, for example. down for the average home. These figures assume your home has newer appliances, however.
- Water heater – 2400 kWh for a family of two
- Clothes dryer – 1000 kWh
- Refrigerator – 600 kWh
- Dishwasher – 300 kWh
- Clothes washer – 200 kWh
Are There Laws Governing Energy Usage?
The more electricity a home uses the more tax the homeowner pays each month. Laws apply more to the manufacturers. There are standards set that compel them to produce appliances that use less energy. The law also requires each product to have a label that shows energy usage and the ENERGY STAR rating. Checking that ENERGY STAR rating before buying is one of the easiest energy tips.
What Are The Tax Benefits of Energy Efficient Appliances?
State and federal government offer incentives to reduce energy usage—mostly in the form of tax credits. The tax regulations vary from year to year, so it is important to consult with a tax specialist when looking at appliance energy tips. In general, you may be able to deduct at least part of the purchase cost of an energy-efficient appliance along with the installation fees on your federal tax return using IRS form 5695. In addition to the federal tax benefits, some local utility services offer discounts and rebates for switching to energy-friendly appliances. It is worth a visit to the utility company website.
Appliances are a big part of the energy picture. Let us help formulate appliance solutions that fit your needs and put you on the energy-saving fast track. Set up an appointment with one of our energy specialists for an evaluation and visit our website often to keep up to date on appliance energy tips.

Maria Pauline Kuder
Based on info received from a Coles County, IL, genealogist:
Maria Pauline Kuder. b. 22 June 1833, probably in Flein Germany in what is now the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg, married Jacob Bush (Busch) who was born in Bavaria (Bayern) Germany.
Both appear in the 1860 Moultrie County Il Census along with 4 children, Mary's (as she is shown in the Census) father Henry, b. 7 Nov 1800 as Heinrich Gottlieb Kuder, in Flein.
The family eventually settled in Mattoon, Coles County, Il, and appears in the 1880 Census for that town.
Does anyone have data on Jacob Bush (Busch)?

Top 5 Slushpile Woes
Well, mostly...
The truth is that most stories fall into the realm of decent. There are a good number of truly terrible stories and an extremely tiny percentage of exceptional stories. For the rest of us, we're just decent--and decent often isn't good enough for publication.
I'm here today to give you all an opportunity to peer past the slush curtain. As a professional slush monkey for Lightspeed and Nightmare magazines, along with ParsecInk's Triangulation anthology under fearless editor Stephen V. Ramey, I can safely say I've read a ton a slush. While I can't speak of particular subs, what I can do is tell you the common problems and pitfalls I see everyday.
For our purposes, I'm going to overlook failure to follow guidelines, because I imagine W1S1 participants are smart enough to know this. Still, receiving subs that don't follow guidelines is a common complaint among slush monkeys like myself.
1. Poor Writing
This is the top problem. Writing is simply amateur with poor syntax or grammar, bad imagery or analogies that don't make sense. If you can spin a sentence together properly, you're already ahead of the game. The next level is to make that writing sparkle, really capture a unique voice and style. That's what turns decent writing into amazing writing.
Always continue to hone your craft.
2. Too Slow
Far too often, the story takes too long to get anywhere. The author spends too much time in miniutae or description. Exposition drones on and on... and we get bored. Start with a character doing something. Anything.
By that same token, if you start in the middle of an explosion, I will likely have no context to understand what I'm reading. Starting with action does not mean the same thing as starting with bombs and gunfights (though both can be done well with enough craft, see #1).
3. Goes Nowhere
The story ambles. Scenes are thrown in at a whim. We end, and I'm left feeling empty because nothing has really happened. You must provide resolution to the conflict, tie it all up together. Make the reader feel as if something has been accomplished here.
At the end of every story, ask yourself, "What did my character learn/accomplish/succeed/fail at in this story?"
4. Logic Errors
I've read plotholes big enough sail the Titanic through. Please check your logic and make sure that everything happens for a reason. If it doesn't, if your characters seem to question how or why, than the reader will as well. Sometimes all that's needed are a few plants early on to satisfy logic questions.
Best bet: have someone else read it for you. They will spot things you cannot.
5. Derivative
Sometimes a great story will get passed on simply because it is not unique enough. We've all read Tolkien's elves and Asimov's robots before. If you do a story like this, you need to put your own fresh spin on it. There is nothing that says you can't write a great Lovecraftian piece, but it better be you writing it, not Lovecraft.
In the end, the settings and people and ideas we've never heard of before have the most impact on us.
And there you have it, the top 5 slushpile woes. I hope to share more of my slushy adventures with the W1S1 community in the future. For now, please remember: in writing there is no "always" nor "never." Talented writers can break all the rules, but do so purposefully.
Happy slushing!

Great post! "Logic Errors" are a problem for me, especially in my larger works, like novellas and novels. That's why I give all my pages to my husband - he's the most logical person I know. :)ReplyDelete
I'm guilty of these sins, but I'm not masochistic enough to want to be a slush reader. Thanks for reminding me of my writing sins. Five good points to remember.ReplyDelete
I think we're all guilty of these sins at one time or another. That's what revision and careful critique partners are for. :)ReplyDelete
I highly recommend a round of slush reading for anyone who is serious about publishing. It's a lot of work, but you will begin to see why your gems may not be quite the gems they seem (nor are they likely the dogs you might think they are when rejection comes your way), and why taste and luck are an unfortunate part of the process no matter how hard editors try to negate it. (Try reading a dozen stories online when you've had a long day... or back to back stories on a similar topic with a similar style).ReplyDelete
thanks for sharing this concise list. I'm sharing with my writing group and students.ReplyDelete
2 Stephen Ramey. good advice!Replies
Michal, I hope you and your group/students find it helpful! I know reading slush has been a great learning experience for me.Delete
Good post, Stephanie. The more I read slush, the more I'm annoyed when someone doesn't follow the guidelines. It's like opening up a chocolate candy bar and finding a granola bar inside. Another thing writers do is not put in enough conflict. For horror stories especially, something horrific should happen.ReplyDelete
Great advice, Stephen. I think I've learned more about plotting from reading bad stories than good ones.Replies
Jeff, Failure to follow guidelines has got to be my top complaint with the slush. I don't understand how something so easily fixable can so often be overlooked. Simple carelessness, I suppose.Delete
Wonderful post. You didn't have some of my pieces in mind when composing this did you?ReplyDeleteReplies
Not at all, Simon!Delete
Well, maybe a little. ;)
A mighty fine post, Stephanie. I find that I struggle most with opening my stories too slowly, and it's something I'm working on.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yep, Milo, it's a common issue in the slush. We tend to focus too much on giving the reader information and background rather than grounding them immediately into a character within a scene. Information, ideally, comes out when the character NEEDS it (or would naturally use/want it). It's a tricky balance to get right. I find that I spend a huge amount of time on first sentences. If I can find a way into the character/scene that interests me, the story will usually flow tightly from that.Delete

City home with rooftop garden in Ranelagh can be yours for €865k
45 Warner's Lane €865k
In effect, Warner's Lane is a cul de sac running due north from Dartmouth Road in Ranelagh. Handily enough, though, at the northern end of the street there's a flight of steps taking you up to the Grand Canal bank at Grand Parade.
This means that you can be in St Stephen's Green after about 10 minutes' walk, or in the centre of Ranelagh in about the same length of time. Otherwise, you can walk west along the canal for about 350 metres and board a Luas at Charlemont.
Number 45 Warner's Lane is one of a row of mews houses backing onto the grand old properties of Dartmouth Square, but Number 45, unlike its venerable redbrick benefactor, is ultra-modern.
Architect-designed, it's on three storeys, with some 1,453 sq ft of floor space - all very chic and smooth, and with a roof garden from which you can watch the goings-on of some of Dublin 6.
Just off the entrance hall there's a guest toilet, but apart from that the ground floor is almost entirely taken up by an open-plan kitchen, dining room and living room.
The kitchen is fitted with high-gloss cabinets with marble countertops, integrated appliances and an island unit. You pass through the dining area to the living room, where there's a tiled floor and sliding doors to the back garden.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms - one with a walk-in wardrobe - along with the main bathroom. The master bedroom is on the second floor and has an en-suite shower.
Parking is at a premium on this narrow street, but Number 45 has a cobbled front driveway behind electronic gates, so you can tuck the car away out of sight.
Number 45 Warner's Lane, Dublin 6, is for sale with DNG Central (01) 679 4088 and has an asking price of €865,000.

This afternoon, with Mitt Romney in New York City for several fundraisers, the Democratic National Committee tried to take an early strafing run at one of the two leading Republican candidates.
The DNC hired a plane to fly a banner up and down the west side of Manhattan, telling residents on both side of the Hudson, "Bet you 10K Romney's out of touch," referring to the $10,000 bet Romney jokingly offered Rick Perry at Saturday's debate. The banner pointed to a DNC-run website: Mitts10kBet.com.
New York State chairman Jay Jacobs of the Democratic National Committee was present to take questions, most of which centered on the Obama campaign's views of the Republican primary.
Asked which opponent President Obama hoped to face, Jacobs demurred, but stridently asserted either opponent would be welcome. Declining to discuss their relative strengths, he said that either Romney or Gingrich would be "both great opportunities … to contrast with President Obama's accomplishments."
He noted that "first, you've got the flip-flopper, Mitt Romney… who hasn't held any belief for any considerable amount of time." Jacobs suggested Romney's bet showed "how wildly out of touch [he is] with Americans' values and principles."
Secondly, he described Obama's other likely opponent, Newt Gingrich, as "so conservative, so far out of the mainstream." Adding to display of confidence, when asked whether Gingrich's personal life might come into play in the general election, Jacobs argued, "as Democrats, when you have so much to work with, you don't need to go there," but declined to argue that Obama wouldn't run a negative campaign.
Jacobs also declined to explain how much the plane rental cost, but claimed it was "nowhere near $10,000."
Romney's fundraisers began this morning with a breakfast at Cipriani, followed by lunch at the Waldorf-Astoria, and will conclude with dinner at the house of Steve Schwarzman, chairman of Blackstone.

It is our honor to present lo-fi pop genius Julian Lynch's long out-of-print debut LP "Orange You Glad" on magnetic tape. Recorded to four track around 2009 in and around New Jersey and Wisconson, this majestic collection of psychedelia sounds rich, warm, and just right on the cassette format.
Sounding nostalgic and sometimes melancholic, Julian's first collection of tunes established the blueprint for his ethno-psychedelic pop sound further fleshed-out on his subsequent trio of LPs, Mare, Terra, and Lines. Orange You Glad is a rich tapestry of muted wah-guitar, bass clarinet, hand drums, and half-whispered vocals. Absolutely prefect tunes to celebrate the coming of spring by relaxing outside with your boombox or taking a nature hike with your walkman. Limited to 200 copies.

Unanswered: Insert statements, primary keys and relationships
I have a number of tables (30+) all collecting info about societies. I have a primary key (soc_ID) in all my tables and a number of one-to-one relationships. All the tables are joined.
Q1 : If I add into the first row in one table, do I HAVE to insert the PK in EVERY other table its related to? Q2:is it wise to have foreign keys nullable?
My MS SQL SERVER statement::
insert into society(soc_id) values ('1');
ERROR: The INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint "FK_Society_EDU_materials_targeted". The conflict occurred in database "mem_soc", table "dbo.EDU_materials_targeted", column 'soc_id'.
The statement has been terminated.
I understand the error. Is there a short way to insert the PK in all related tables automatically otherwise my insert statement will be HUGE.
This method seems REALLY long winded...

I'm 99% sure that you've got the primary and foreign keys reversed between your EDU_materials_targeted and society tables. At least as I understand it, the soc_id should be the primary key in the society table, and it should be the foreign key in the dbo.EDU_materials_targeted table.
A foreign key should allow NULL values if the relationship has a cardinality of "1 to zero or more". In other words, if the child table might not have a matching row in the parent table, then the FK should allow NULL values.
Normally I'd move this discussion to the Microsoft SQL Server forum, but since it still is a relatively pure SQL issue I'm Ok with leaving it here in the SQL forum.

SALT LAKE CITY — Just after the final seconds ticked off following Utah's 27-10 win Thursday night, proud Montana State fans on the southwest corner of Rice-Eccles Stadium loudly chanted "MSU, MSU" as their players walked by on their way to the locker room.
Across the way on the east side of the stadium, the Ute students in The MUSS, answered with their own chant of "Beat USC, Beat USC" as the Ute players shuffled past.
With the pesky Bobcats from the Big Sky out of the way and in the rearview mirror, the Utah football team can finally, and officially, look ahead to its Pac-12 debut against the mighty USC Trojans a week from Saturday at the L.A. Coliseum.
For the past month, the Utes have said all the right things, blah blah blah, about how they had all of their attention focused on dangerous Montana State, which actually played the Utes pretty tough after spotting them an early 24-0 lead.
Now the Utes can talk about USC, which they did after Thursday night's victory.
"It's going to be a good test for us and I'm excited and the whole team's excited," said Jordan Wynn. "They're a great football team with a great tradition. To get an opportunity to play in the Coliseum, it doesn't get much better. So we have to go out and have a big week and get prepared."
"It's a game we're excited about," added linebacker Brian Blechen. "It will be cool to go to the Coliseum. It will be a big challenge, but it will be a big opportunity as well. Starting tomorrow we start preparing for next week and we'll be ready."
After not being real happy with their overall performance Thursday, the Utes said they'll need to play much better next week.
"A lot better," said Wynn. "We have to play a lot cleaner, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Don't discredit Montana State — they're a good football team and played tough and didn't give up at all. But we can't play like that and expect to win."
Coach Kyle Whittingham went a step further and said the Utes "won't win a game in the Pac-12" if they play like they did Thursday.
The Utes and Trojans will meet up Sept. 10 at 5:30 p.m. MDT in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. The Trojans play host to Minnesota Saturday for their first game.26 comments on this story
"We've got a lot of work to do," said Whittingham. "We'll have a chance to watch USC and Minnesota (Saturday) and get a feel for where they're at and build from there. From our own perspective we've got to get significantly better in the next nine days."
The Utes are happy to have a couple of extra days to prepare for USC after their disappointing performance Thursday.
Whittingham said the team would watch film of the game Friday and lift weights and condition before taking the weekend off.
"We'll take a good look at this film," said Whittingham, with an emphasis on "good." We'll take a good chunk of time to watch this tape and learn from what we didn't do well."

Is there a trick to removing and replacing the lid on the Chapin Industrial Stainless Steel 2 Gallon (#1739)?
I know you just put the lid on, press down and turn, but I can't get it to work. Should the pump be up, down etc. I have only used it twice before and had the same issue. Somehow I did finally get it to work. I know it is me!
We recommend that you call the manufacturer, Chapin 800-444-3140 ext 2 – Customer Service. The customer service representatives at Chapin are great and they will walk you through the correct procedure for removing and replacing the lid correctly.

Hey there, I'm Paul and I'd like to tell you about a new online dating site called ULust. I gave it a shot and I thought it was pretty good. Why don't you try it and let me know what you think about it by sending me an email!
- Thousands of members
- Fantasy Cuties used to fill out the site
- Have to put in work to get a date
ULust is a decent dating site for hooking up online. Sure there are better ones out there that will give you even more hotties to check out, but this can be a fun site to add to your online dating repertoire. Make sure you read the fine print before you sign up and, if you do, you will have an even more fun time browsing all the super sexy profiles with XXX pics!
My Full ULust Review
It's All About Lust
ULust is an online dating site that wants to help you get a hot date. The best part is that they are in your area. These chicks are currently just bored and horny at home, waiting for someone to check them out online. You could be that person who sends them a message, piques their interest and brings them out on the town, leading to a hookup for both of you.
There's Lots & Lots of XXX Photos!
The first thing you will notice about the site is that most of the users like to post dirty photos. You could easily spend a lot of time here just browsing the sexy profiles and be pretty content. Since there are thousands of members - and many of them are probably in your area - there is never a shortage of people to chat with and have some sexy times online or in person.
There's Online Cupids On Here For Sure
If you decide to use the site, you will have to accept the Fantasy Cuties. Each profile that's a fantasy cutie is clearly marked, so it's not like this is anything to worry about. You will easily be able to tell the difference between chicks who are really in your area and hot picture profiles put there for your entertainment and to help with the moderation of the site.
Get Yourself the VIP Membership
If you do use U Lust, then you will quickly find out that it does take some work to secure a hookup. Sure, the girls are ripe and ready, but they do need to be wooed a little bit and you will need to upgrade to a VIP membership to fully woo them. It's not a downside because the site does have all the tools you need to close the deal. If you want sex you're going to have to put in some time and it's better to spend time in front of your computer at home than it is to spend it out at some bar trying to pick up girls that you don't even know are down for anything.
Try The Quickie Feature
Signing up for ULust is free and super easy. You just have to fill out a few questions about who you are, who you're looking for and where you live, so they can find the most appropriate babes just for you. They will then use "Quickie" to match you up with people who seem like they might fit what you are looking for. Of course, filling out even more information on your profile will make the matches more congruent. Give ULust a try and start hooking up with the lovers you lust for right now!

The Late Monsieur Gallet : Inspector Maigret #2 Paperback
by Georges Simenon
Part of the Inspector Maigret series
The second book in the new Penguin Maigret series: Georges Simenon's devastating tale of misfortune, betrayal and the weakness of family ties, in a new translation by Anthea Bell.Instead of the detail filling itself in and becoming clearer, it seemed to escape him.
The face of the man in the ill-fitting coat just misted up so that it hardly looked human.
In theory this mental portrait was good enough, but now it was replaced by fleeting images which should have added up to one and the same man but which refused to get themselves into focus.The circumstances of Monsieur Gallet's death all seem fake: the name the deceased was travelling under and his presumed profession, and more worryingly, his family's grief.
Their haughtiness seems to hide ambiguous feelings about the hapless man.
In this haunting story, Maigret discovers the appalling truth and the real crime hidden behind the surface of lies.Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations.
This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret Stonewalled and The Death of Monsieur Gallet.'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent

Review by Eyejaybee
Published in 1931, this was the third novel to feature Chief Inspector , and it is clear that Georges Simenon was still learning his art. The story lacks the faultless polish of his later works, though traces of acute observation skills are already present.The book opens in the sweltering heat of August (which makes a change from the almost incessant rain that pervaded the first two novels in the series), with Maigret receiving the news of the death of a man in Sancerre. It transpires that the dead man he is Emile Gallet, and further investigation shows that he has been leading a double life for several years. His widow had believed that he was in Rouen, engaged in selling silverware for his employer. However, through the judicious questioning of the locals at Sancerre and the despatch of a few telegrams, Maigret establishes that Gallet had ceased to work for the company nearly twenty years earlier, and had been visiting Sancerre rther than Rouen regularly for more than a decade.Guided partially by his own intuition, Maigret delves more deeply into the mysterious circumstances and unravels a devious plot. However, there is very little attempt to scratch beneath the surface of most of the characters (including Maigret himself), and the narrative felt oddly flat.On reflection I am glad that I read this book, though I also recognise that if this had been the first Maigret novel that I had encountered, I would never have considered reading any more of them.
Review by smik
This is part of the Penguin Classics, a project to reprint the novels of Simenon in order of publication. THE LATE MONSIEUR GALLET is #2 in the series and I was surprised to find that Maigret is already 45 years old. He has spent half his life in various branches of the police and is now in the Paris Flying Squad.Monsieur Gallet it seems has been leading a double life for the best part of twenty years, living under two names, with a wife and son under the name of Gallet. However he no longer has the job that Madame Gallet thinks he has, so how does he earn his money? In addition it seems that his death is somehow related to the hotel room he has been allocated.If Monsieur Gallet has been murdered, then who committed the deed? There are plenty of suspects but none quite fits the bill. Gallet it seems may have been a crook.The plot is convoluted as one expects of Simenon, and Maigret spends quite an amount of time away from home on this case. He would prefer what he considers a "real murder", where motives and details are clearer.I found the plot a little tangled and disappointing. I don't think Simenon needed to make it quite as complex as he did, although he made it so to accommodate a range of characters like Gallet's reprehensible son and his girlfriend.

Tweet #iamdesirulez
A new iPhone 5 concept was recently created by Italian designer Federico Ciccarese that closely resembles a magic mouse. Ciccareses vision of the iPhone 5 predicts a slightly curved back.The body of the phone, in fact, looks similar to Apples Magic Mouse. The display is flat and retina in nature and the phone tapers off at the top and bottom. The headphone jack has moved to the side to accommodate the new design and the back looks to be blasted aluminum, similar to what is used on the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and iMac.

Once you get out of spawn, at 55 seconds until buffs spawn, start placing your (JACK IN THE BOX) in one spot behind where Gromp spawns, you should get atleast 3 to 4 (JACK IN THE BOX) down before Cromp spawns, after it does, smite it once and let the (JACK IN THE BOX) to the rest. After getting Cromp, go over to blue buff and place a (JACK IN THE BOX) behind it, then use (TWO-SHIV POISON) on blue. After killing blue do not use a health pot unless you are every low and move over to wolves. just like before place a (JACK IN THE BOX) and use (TWO-SHIV POISON) to kill it, then get your (DECEIVE) and gank mid lane. First, wait in the bush, then use (DECEIVE) to get behind the mid laner, third, use (TWO-SHIV POISON) to slow them, and help your mid laner get the kill.

What is IRS Wage Garnishment? Why the IRS Places a Levy on Wages
What is Wage Garnishment?
IRS wage garnishment is a legal way for the IRS to collect your tax liability without you directly paying them. The IRS contacts your current employer and tells them that your wages are to be garnished. If your employer fails to take out a portion of your wages and send over to the IRS then your employer will be held liable for the amount that was not garnished. So once your employer receives this notice you can be assured that they will do as they are told. The IRS can garnish salaries, wages, bonuses, commissions and possibly even retirement or pension earnings. The IRS typically will garnish up to 25%+ of a taxpayers income once a garnishment is implemented. So if your current paycheck is $1,000 that then becomes $750. There are exceptions for high earners though. The IRS does not care if this leaves you without enough money to pay the rest of your bills. Typically they will seize as much money as they can and leave you with just the amount that is set forth by the tables of allowable expenses, which is likely a lot less than you typically spend. This levy will remain in place until the IRS has seized enough of your income to satisfy your tax liability plus interest and penalties or until you have come to some other sort of agreement with them.
A wage levy is the most common form of IRS levy for taxpayers that have salary jobs. If you are having your wages garnished by the IRS it should not be taken lightly. This is one of the harshest collection mechanisms used by the IRS. It is likely that the IRS will take more money through garnishing your wages than if you were to cooperate and setup an alternative form of settlement. It is best to talk with a tax professional if you receive a wage levy and they can give you all your options and come up with the best tax settlement for you and they can even limit the effect of the levy until the problem is resolved.
When the IRS Will Impose a Wage Levy and Garnish Wages
A tax levy is typically the next collection step following a tax lien. Sometimes the IRS can skip the tax lien and begin to levy depending upon how they assessed your situation and likelihood of collecting. Depending upon your work situation and financial situation the IRS will decide which levy is appropriate for you. The IRS can legally seize any form of personal property. This means they can take your wages, bank accounts, SSA benefits, travel advances, commissions, property, rights to property and anything else the IRS thinks they can use to cover your tax debt. If you are a salaried employee there is a good chance that they will implement a wage levy in which they will garnish your wages. In order for the IRS to begin the levy the following three requirements must be met:
- The IRS assessed a tax liability and sent you a notice to demand payment
- You neglected or refused to pay the tax amount that was assessed
- The IRS sent you a final notice of intent to levy and notice of your rights to a hearing at least 30 days prior to the levy
The IRS will send these notices to your last known address or they will deliver them by mail or in person to your home or to your place of work. Once you receive this final notice the IRS will begin to levy no sooner than 30 days after you received the notice. The IRS hopes that in these 30 days you will find another form of resolution to settle your outstanding tax liability.
One thing to remember is that the IRS does not like to impose wage levies. These levies are costly to the IRS but they find them extremely effective as a scare tactic in order to make taxpayers pay their taxes. If they give you a notice of levy, they will hold up their end of their threat unless you pay your taxes or come to some other form of tax settlement. If you are being threatened by a levy it is highly suggested that you act quickly and talk with a tax professional in order to stop or remove the tax levy.

The new patent-pending CleanSteer from Pipeline Renewal Technologies (PRT) uses high-pressure water for propulsion, steering and cleaning as it captures live inspection video from inside lateral lines. Its novel design makes the CleanSteer uniquely able to traverse multiple bends in pipe; steer through branches; and levitate above debris. With these special capabilities, municipal contractors and commercial plumbers can locate failed pipes, cross-bores and blockages, as well as perform cleaning.
The new Micro Premium™ lateral cutter from Pipeline Renewal Technologies delivers 30% more cutting power than the smaller Micro Pro™, as well as a sophisticated touch-screen interface, a larger reservoir for flushing water, and easier connection/monitoring of supply air. In addition, the form factor of the reel broadens options for installing and transporting the system.
Delivering up to 1.9 hp cutting power, the new air-powered IST PC200 from Pipeline Renewal Technologies makes quick work of lateral reinstatement. For optimum range and precision, its cutting arm articulates on four axes, each proportionally controlled with encoder feedback to reach and remember any cutting position in 8–28" relined pipe. The system is built on CAN-Bus control architecture, which not only allows concurrent motion on all axes, but enables remote diagnostics; onboard temperature/pressure/humidity/pitch/roll sensing; easy accessorization; and swivel/zoom of the onboard camera.
Bochum, Germany-based IST GmbH has just named Pipeline Renewal Technologies a North American distributor and service center for its Power CUTTER brand of pipe cutting and lateral reinstatement robots. With the addition of IST to its current lineup, Pipeline Renewal Technologies now offers rehab cutters for applications ranging from lateral cutting to lateral reinstatement and mainline grinding and milling.

Santa Fe Soul
Sunday, October 20, 2002
Then a friend called with a suggestion: an excursion to Bandelier National Monument. After an hour-long drive across a sweep of mountains covered in cactus and juniper trees, we were peering into caves inhabited by Cochiti tribesmen five centuries ago and taking in soothing sweet air with the aroma of pinyons. Somewhere mid-hike, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and decided to give Santa Fe another try.
This is, after all, a corner of the country whose regal blue skies and lonely landscapes have inspired a generation of painters and photographers, where visitors arrive for a week and stay for the rest of their lives, where the spirits of Native Americans wander the streets at night. Chatting up longtime residents for tips and scouring newspapers and guidebooks for recommendations, I was looking for their vision of this 400-year-old city, for the places not yet primed and polished for the deluge of tourists. I was searching for the soul of Santa Fe.
That evening, I found part of it at the restaurant Tomasita's. Surrounded by Santa Feans hunched over heaping plates of spicy-hot Southwestern dishes, I devoured the perfect chile relleno. The next day, I explored the Tesuque flea market, a sprawl of Navajo rugs, hand-carved sculptures, furniture and other one-of-a-kind objects so alluring that I started daydreaming about building an adobe addition to my home to hold it all.
At night I retreated to the porch of the landmark Inn of the Anasazi, named for the area's original residents, to listen for the spirits and watch the sky fade into a dramatic sweep of pink and iris-colored clouds. For the next five days, I kept up my search.
The Price of SuccessEven Santa Fe's biggest boosters acknowledge that the 1990s brought some unfortunate changes. A rush of newcomers arrived, buying up the city's trademark deep brown adobe homes and doubling the population to about 63,000, and in the surrounding county to about 130,000.
The central Plaza, an inspiring square once lined with unique shops and art galleries, is now home to Banana Republic, Chico's and what's billed as the busiest Haagen Dazs in the United States. Cher, Val Kilmer and other celebrities have bought second or third homes here and transformed the place into a kind of distant suburb of Hollywood. The rate of visitors quadrupled. "We've been Aspenized," said Cynthia Leespring, a guide with Aboot About, a tour company. "Or maybe Aspen has been Santa Fe'd."
Yet, you can still find refreshing expressions of the raw Southwestern spirit here. The Guadalupe district, a 15-minute walk from the main Plaza, is a good place to start looking. A 20-square-block neighborhood of adobe homes, quirky stores and cafes, it lacks the wonderful territorial architectural style popularized in the 1800s or the even more historical elegance of the Plaza, Santa Fe's center of tourism. But it compensates in accessibility and laid-back style.
Guadalupe is a good place to shop for the kinds of goods that Santa Fe is known for: Western clothing, handmade home furnishings, Indian pottery and jewelry. At Southwest Spanish Craftsman, you can order bureaus, tables, doors and other furniture decorated with intricate carvings. Santa Fe Pottery sells ceramic vases, jugs and other products at more reasonable prices than stores closer to the center. Around the corner, the Rio Bravo Trading Co. is the place to go for cowboy boots, hats, spurs and other Western paraphernalia.
In the 1970s, a wave of counterculture types staked out their spot in Guadalupe, and their earthy spirit lingers everywhere. At the farmer's market, organized on Saturday mornings in an abandoned rail yard in the middle of the district, folks come from the surrounding hills to sell vegetables, melons, herbs, peppers and freshly baked bread. Around the corner at Ark Books, one of the country's best-known repositories of New Age literature and music, herbal tea is always brewing and the shelves are lined with the works of visionary writers such as Eckhart Tolle, and ecology-inspired recording artists like David Dunn. A couple of blocks away at the Bodhi Bazaar, locals buy casual clothing, have their tarot cards read and chew the fat with other shoppers.
The more I hung out in Guadalupe, the more fat-chewing I observed and took part in, both with locals and visitors. There was April, the hostess at Pranzo's, a beloved Italian restaurant, chattering about how much she missed the rain in her native Seattle. And Burt, an out-of-work drummer sipping beers at the Cowgirl Hall of Fame who filled me in on the best local venues for live music.
A short walk away, I stopped into an adobe structure next the San Miguel Mission. Built in the 1500s, it is said to be the oldest house in Santa Fe. As I wandered through the small, dark rooms, staring at the ancient corner fireplaces and rooftop entranceways constructed in the old Indian style, I had the distinct feeling that someone was staring at me from behind.

Bad ReligionStranger Than Fiction (1994)
Текст песни с переводом слов Bad Religion «Hooray For Me...» из альбома «Stranger Than Fiction» (1994).
Hooray For Me...
I can see my teenage father standing straight on a desolate corner,
in the shadow of tentacled towers by the red light of America,
I imagine how his mother felt when she heard that her husband was dying,
and that underground heroes of the tarmac shooting smack were blowing up worlds
and Damned out loud,
he, can you tell me how does it feel?
yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second,
doing anything that you don't have to?
well that's what I'm accustomed to so hooray for me
when I slept with stony faces on the riverbank,
my angeldevil reveller shook me desperately in dying,
I don't exactly want to apologize for anything, and now
we're all mad and tangled in secret rooms with roman candles,
on an endless graveyard train
yeah, tell me, can you imagine, for a second, doing
anything just 'cuz you want to?
well, that's just what I do so hooray for me
yeah, I was dreaming through the "howzlife", yawning,
car black, when she told me "mad and meaningless as ever..",
and a song came on my radio like a cemetery rhyme,
Bad Religion - все тексты песен исполнителя (группы).

The New York Giants committed mistake after mistake, and in many ways lost the game instead of forcing the Dallas Cowboys to win it.
At the same time, they actually outplayed the Cowboys. To the average fan, this sound preposterous. How could a team with six turnovers have outplayed the other team? Well, because most of the turnovers were due to randomness. The skills that are consistent from game to game favored the Giants.
The most significant source of bad luck for the Giants came on fumbles. There were five fumbles and one onside kick in the game, and the Cowboys won all six. Forcing fumbles is a skill, so give the Cowboys credit for forcing three (and the Giants credit for forcing two), but fumble recovery rates for given teams are random on a week to week basis.
It has been shown that the chance of recovering a fumble is almost exactly 50-50 with a large enough sample size. In this game, the Giants lost every one of the five fumbles, something that only happens three percent of the time.
While David Wilson needs to learn how to hold on to the ball and should take some heat, the other lost fumble for the Giants was on a semi-freak play. On a punt, the ball bounced sideways, just hitting the Giants' Tim McBride on the arm a hair before any Cowboys players. Bounces like that are purely random. Furthermore, few will remember that the Cowboys fumbled twice because the Giants recovered both.
In almost every other facet of the game, the Giants dominated. The Giants averaged 8.1 yards per play to the Cowboys 4.5. Eli Manning averaged 10 yards a pass, and Tony Romo averaged five. The Giants had 140 yards more offense and were moving the ball easily by the end of the game.
Unfortunately, the drive stopped when the Giants' third-string running back, Da'Rel Scott, tipped the ball right to the Cowboys' Brandon Carr. It was certainly a mistake, but one that almost always simply results in a second and 10, not a pick six the other way.
The Cowboys won fair and square, but the truth is the Giants outplayed the Cowboys in many ways. That may be comforting — or maybe it's simply more frustrating.

An Igbo pressure group, Kings of Igbo, has condemned the arrest and subsequent release on bail of former interior minister, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho, over allegations of complicity in alleged theft of oil.
An online statement signed by the President of the association, Sir Uche Uche, said the entire episode was a set up aimed at smearing the former minister.
The association said armed security men raided the facility of Integrated Oil belonging to the former minister saying "Their reason was that vessel carrying stolen oil came to rent Integrated Tank Farm storage facility and discharged there on a through put basis. The truth is that the said vessel M.T. Grace belongs to a relative of the Director General of NIMASA and the said oil belonged to his Ijaw brother.
"Also the vessel that came and discharged at integrated tank farm tendered to Integrated Oil every relevant clearance document from NIMASA, NPA, DPR, Navy, Customs etc. We firmly believe, someone connected to the leadership of NIMASA and Tompolo plotted this to dent the very clean image of a noble Nigerian."
The group said it is demanding for a full and thorough investigation into the matter with a view to restoring "The rights of this Nigerian as this desperate act cannot stand the smell test. If this evil is allowed here, the international community will not allow it and certainly Igbos will not allow it."

5 Cool & Weird Mexico City Museums You Probably Don't Know About
North America's largest city supposedly has more museums than any other city in the hemisphere. And while world-famous institutions like the National Museum of Anthropology are must-sees (it's one of the best such venues in the world, and reportedly the largest and most-visited museum in Mexico), you'll find a lot more to see if you dig a little deeper.
One of the things I like most about vacationing in Mexico City is that you'll never run out of things to do. Every time I go, I discover something new that I've never seen before. From museums dedicated to shoes and toys to venues filled with police memorabilia and tequila, these off-beat museums provide some of the most interesting things to do in Mexico City.
MEXICO TRAVEL TIPS: 10 Museums in Mexico You've Got to See
Museo del Calzado El Borcegui (El Borcegui Shoe Museum)
Billed as the only museum of its kind in Mexico, El Borcegui — which a shoe store of the same name opened in the historic center in 1991 — exhibits dozens of shoes from various centuries, for both men and women. Included are a few celebrity shoes, as well as pieces from ancient indigenous groups, Europe, the USA and Asia.
Museo del Juguete Antiguo México (Antique Toy Museum)
This venue ambitiously claims to have the largest collection of toys in the world. Whether that's true is debatable, but you can't deny that it's an interesting site, with exhibits about globally recognized items like Barbie dolls and toys related to Mexican cultural institutions like Lucha Libre wrestling and the movie star Cantinflas. You can find an interesting interview about the museum here.

Museo Interactivo de la Economia (Interactive Economy Museum)
Can money be interesting? Pay a visit to the Interactive Economy Museum (often called by its Spanish-language acronym, MIDE) and find out. Described as the "first museum in the world dedicated to explaining the economy, finance and sustainable development," it's set in a historic 18th-century building.
Museo del Policia (Police Museum)
If a serial killer exhibition sounds interesting to you, then head to Mexico City's Police Museum, which recounts the history of Mexico's police force, with photos, dioramas and various artifacts.

Museo del Tequila y el Mezcal (Tequila and Mezcal Museum)
Sitting in the tourist-popular Garibaldi Square, the Tequila and Mezcal Museum highlights the history and culture surrounding two of Mexico's most legendary spirits. You can also participate in tequila and mezcal tastings, and take some home as a souvenir.
