This afternoon's live blog: It's almost time for Game 2 of the weekend series in New York. A win would pull the Orioles to within one game of first place and within one victory of a three-game sweep.
I will keep this blog "live" during this afternoon's game and will add stats, notes, facts and commentary here all during today's game. I hope the readers keep a steady stream of comments and questions coming here as well. Check back often and hit refresh to get the latest and see the latest reader comments. Post your thoughts on how today's game may go or more impressions on last night to get it started if you like.
The starting pitchers: Wei-Yin Chen (12-7, 3.78 ERA) makes his 27th start today. He gave up just one earned run on four hits Monday against Chicago. He has 14 quality starts and the O's are 17-9 when he takes the mound this season.
In two starts vs. the Yankees, Chen is 1-0 with a 2.84 ERA.
A 25-year-old right-hander, David Phelps (3-4, 2.96 ERA) pitches today for New York. He has made six starts among 25 appearanes this season. His last three games came as starter and he has gone 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA against Texas, Boston and Toronto.
Phelps has a 2.54 ERA out of the bullpen and is 1-2 with a 3.48 ERA over those six starts. Lefty batters hit .246 against him and right-handed batters hit .210 vs. Phelps.
Should the Yankees panic?: I certainly see no reason for that, but this writer does. He said that last night they looked thoroughly overwhelmed at their own ballpark and that Miguel Gonzalez made the Yankees appear old and tired.
This team's defense didn't rest: How important has the improvement of the Orioles defense been to this team? On the MASN telecast they showed the stat where the Orioles .988 fielding percentage since the All-Star break ranks as the fourth best in the majors.
Buck's competition: Jon Morosi of Foxsports.com just tweeted this note about Buck's competition for the AL manager of the year award. What do you think?
Speaking of Buck Showalter ... A spirited race for AL Manager of Year. Robin Ventura and Bob Melvin also strong candidates.
If you think the Orioles were good in August: The Double-A Bowie Baysox completed August going 21-9. That was the third most wins in all of pro baseball in the month. Akron clinched first place in the Western Division last night so Bowie and Akron will play in the Eastern League playoffs. The clubs begin a best-of-five series with games at Bowie on Wednesday and Thursday night at 7:05 p.m.
Dylan Bundy is expected to pitch on Wednesday in the playoff opener. We could see Jake Pettit in Game 2 of that series. Pettit is 3-0 with a 1.30 ERA over his last four starts. That all could bode well for Bowie to get the jump on Akron in that series.
Wieters note: Matt Wieters has certainly been hitting well this year against the Yankees. Coming into this game he was batting .413 (19-for-46) with two homers, three RBIs and a 1.089 OPS over 12 games. He added to that with a second-deck homer to right in the fourth. Wieters has hit safely in every game this season against the Yankees. His hitting streak is the O's first 13-game hit streak against New York since Cal Ripken in 1996.
Chen through six: 6 IP, 2 hits, 1 R-ER, 1 walk, 4 Ks, 87 pitches.

Maybe the Christmas break mangled my mind lol I've suddenly thought of a potential duplicate content issue I may have on one of my money pages - I have a site indexed in Google and it's a wordpress blog. The home page (index) is a "page" in wordpress, however, from the settings the home page is set to default for example the home page is the one that displays at the root: www.example.com Should I enter the www.example.com/home/ into the robots.txt to avoid: www.example.com/home/ being indexed?

Saturday, 7/27
Saturday, July 27, 2013
It was a really nice day today. I got a screen door sold, then took Cassie to a benefit flea market that my friend had a booth at. It was a benefit for The Passion Play of Denver that is put on every year between Palm Sunday and Easter. Most booths had used things. At one booth I found a book of Helen Steiner Rice things for children (at least I think it is a children's book) and an old fashioned piggy bank -- the kind that fits together in the middle and you have to unscrew it to get it open. I can remember having one of those years ago. I don't know what happened to it. I got it for a new little one at church (or maybe her and her sister). The book is for my friend's granddaughter. I also got some small Tupperware containers to keep my LITTLE meals in when I go somewhere. I'm not sure they even hold 1/3 cup, though they might.
I am still trying to get used to the small meals every couple of hours. I must say, it does help keep my gut from hurting. I ate very little tonight, though, and still must have eaten too much because now I hurt. Yesterday I missed for about 5 hours between and was afraid to try the celery with some "light" vegetable dip I had, so had some crackers with the dip instead. I didn't realize the dip had veggies in it and got too much which upset my stomach. I would have done just as well (better nutritionally) with the celery. I will eat it when I am staying home for a while so it doesn't cause problems. Meanwhile I have spent almost all my month's allowance trying to get what would be nutritionally good and easy to do the little snack size meals. Now I will have to cut things up to make the very small meals.

Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft in February are to join forward deployed forces as part of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5 in Japan, the US Navy (USN) announced on 5 January.
As part of wider Pentagon efforts to 'rebalance' towards the Asia-Pacific region, the navy is sending to Japan its Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 125, the first such unit to transition from the older E-2C to the E-2D. VAW-125 will be based at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Iwakuni and is replacing VAW-115, a squadron equipped with E-2Cs that is moving to California in mid-2017 to eventually transition to the D-model, the navy said.
CVW-5's fixed-wing aircraft, including the VAW squadrons, are moving from Naval Air Facility Atsugi to MCAS Iwakuni.
The USN plans to field 75 E-2Ds in total (Japan has ordered two platforms as well) and deliveries are scheduled to run through 2025 with the C-model to begin retiring this year.

Unanswered: CONTAINSTABLE() in Oracle
is there any similar method in Oracle like CONTAINSTABLE() method of SQLServer
FYI the definition of SQLServer's ContainsTable() method is given below,
Returns a table of zero, one, or more rows for those columns containing character-based data types for precise or fuzzy (less precise) matches to single words and phrases, the proximity of words within a certain distance of one another, or weighted matches. CONTAINSTABLE can be referenced in the FROM clause of a SELECT statement as if it were a regular table name
Thanks in advance

CONTAINSTABLE() is just like the CONTAINS() syntax in SQLServer, which is similar in function to the Oracle function...what for it... CONTAINS(). There is no equivalent for CONTAINSTABLE() however, you could always return the data into a CURSOR and process the return data like that.
From what I know about both DB's, they work similar in that you can submit a query of the form:
SELECT resume FROM emp WHERE CONTAINS (resume, 'DBA') > 0;

Learn how to safely experience Astral Projection while you sleep.
The 8 Hour Sleep Cycle with Super Motivation Booster is a safe and incredible new program that works with your sleep cycle to relax and rejuvenate your body, and help train your mind for astral projection during your REM cycle.
Astral projection (or astral travel) is an out-of-body experience achieved either awake or via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. It's safe and natural, and now you can experience it while you sleep.
Powerful benefits of this Sleep Learning program include:
Opening your mind for astral projection
Deeper relaxation for your body and mind
The ability to meet life guides in your travels
Learn hidden knowledge
Deep, restful sleep through the night
More calm and peace, less anxiety and tension
Boosted natural psychic abilities
Wake in the morning feeling rejuvenated and energized
Just start listening to this eight-hour program when you're ready for bed, and get comfortable to fall asleep. In the first two hours, you'll drift off to sleep with our Alpha Theta Deep Sleep Induction, which will relax your body and mind and prepare for rejuvenating REM sleep.
Then approximately two hours into your program when your REM cycle starts, the Astral Projection boosting track will gently play, helping to stimulate your brainwaves safely and naturally. Your subconscious will open itself to safe and exciting astral travel and positive, empowering beliefs.
The next four hours of the program contain subconscious deepening and anchoring points that work with your brain waves to keep you deeply relaxed, and help promote astral projection. At the end of the program, we will bring you out of your deep sleep with a gentle wake ending.
When you wake in the morning, you'll feel refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to take on your day. We recommend listening to this program for 21 nights in a row.

NCESC:THE NC Employment Security Commission (NCESC) has canceled the fees had baffled some clients and others to shake their access unemployment benefits via debit card, the agency announced Wednesday, July 7. It was the extra money they had to pay out of pocket.
The Committee said that his contract reworked for cards affiliated with Texas-based Computer Services Inc., which administers the program, and Wells Fargo, negotiations to eliminate fees for everything from the withdrawal of balance inquiries.
"This new contract will have more money available for our customers to meet their daily needs and will help prevent frustrating situations – both holders of debit cards and the staff of CES, which won in the past, dissatisfied customer calls with rate situation, "ESC Chairman Lynn Holmes said in a statement.
According to reports, the fee structure most of the past allowed customers to avoid paying more as the online control of the card balance. Withdrawals were free with a purchase at most merchants that offer cash back operations. But asking about the ATM card balances at a cost of 50 cents and withdraw money from ATMs after two withdrawals per month at a cost of $ 1.50.
Now, after some modifications in favor of the customers have unlimited free withdrawals at ATMs network – over 600 ATMs at Wells Fargo or Wachovia statewide.
This new regime will take effect on 1 September. Customers will receive phone, email or text message alerts when the balance falls below a preset amount. Customers can be notified when deposits are made.
In addition, balance inquiries at ATMs in the network are free and unlimited. Free phone consultations are also compared with 35 cents in the past after the fifth call. Also, customers are now allowed one free replacement card per year, versus $ 5 each in the past.
The new customer service functions are also part of the review of the contract, CES, he said.

Tom's approach is focused on enabling organisations to gain a clear perspective on property issues and to make informed and confident estates decisions - matching occupational property to current and future business needs
Occupational property has a direct impact on the performance of people. It should provide an effective platform for the people and processes of the organisation to achieve the business plan. Importantly, it is one of the few tangible ways by which an organisation can communicate its culture and the value of its people.

*Consumer Suggestion: **The phone number they give you requires you to call another number that charges you**
*Author of original report: Found a way to get the trials cancelled
I subsequently received a notice from Synapse Ventures, Inc. in Salt Lake City, UT with an 800 number to call to cancel the trial subscriptions at any time.
I tried calling the 800 number provided and was not able to talk to a real person, nor was I able to cancel any of the magazine trials. I called information to get a regular number for them and was told by the information operator that no such business was listed in Salt Lake City, UT. I looked online and found two other numbers to call, both of which I tried, but again, not able to speak to a real person and not able to cancel the trials.
I looked up the company online and found them listed as Synapse Group and found a regular number for them as well as their street address in CT. I called this number and spoke to a woman who answered the phone. She transferred me when I said why I was calling. The second person I spoke with took my name and address and when I told her why I was calling I was hung up on. I called back 3 more times and each time I was hung up on. The last time I called, I got a recording that the number was not in service.
I have contacted the CT Attorney General Office and the Better Business Bureau and will be filing consumer fraud reports with them as well.

Additional Info for Synapse Ret Ventures refund
AUTHOR: RosieP - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, March 19, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Recently in March 2014, I had received two separate charges for magazines I long forgot if I had ordered or not when I made a clothing purchase in November, 2013. When I saw the first charge $22.00, I saw only the company name & address but no phone number. Then a week later I received a second charge $18.00 with the same information, again with no phone number. I went online and saw the Ripoff report and dialed the 1-877-210-0582 as was suggested by a consumer and the message I received was: "You are not authorized to use this number!" Then I dialed the 1-203-391-0780 as suggested by another consumer who answered in a foreign accent : "Hello!" I asked if this was a residence or if they represented Synapse Ret Ventures. The lady gave me the number 1-877-335-8990 which I called and I spoke to a rep of Synapse Ret Venture who assured me that I would be refunded my two charges and a third charge of $104 which I was going to be charged in the next few days for a third magazine I didn't recall ordering. As was suggested by the previous consumer I asked for the cancellation order# and the full name of the rep. He claimed I would get this refund in my next month's billing statement. I hope that I do-- and I will let you know if I do or don't. Thank you consumers for your help. If there is anyone else in need of a refund --contact 1-877-335-8990 and speak to David C. who was very helpful.

Contacted company for refund and cancellation
AUTHOR: C.M. - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, February 10, 2012POSTED: Friday, February 10, 2012
I called various numbers that can be found online related to the Synapse Group, and all led to a voice automated phone system with no options to speak directly to an operator. I followed the advice from above, and pressed "0" as many times as needed to finally speak to an operator (probably about five or six, each time the voice assuring me that there would be a 'long wait on hold' and that it's quicker to go through the recorded prompts). I was only on hold for about a minute before finally being able to speak with a representative of the company.
I explained to the person on the line that I was not notified that these renewal charges would be posted to my account, and that I would like to cancel the subscriptions for both magazines and would like the $29 refunded back to my account. The operator did have prompts that she had to go through, offering me six more months' worth of issues for only $2, even balking at my stern "no thanks" and telling me that it was foolish to pass up on such a good offer. I finally had her cancel both subscriptions (at least that's what I was told), and she stated that I should be receiving a refund on my card within 72 business hours. She then tried to hurry me off the line, asking if that was all she could do for me. I had to ask for a confirmation number for the transaction, as it was not volunteered at the end of the call. Hopefully within these '72 business hours' it all sorts itself out. Not a pleasant company to have to deal with again.

I advise all who do this to WRITE DOWN THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER for proof and also the date and time of the request. This is the number I called... 1-877-210-0582.

Found a way to get the trials cancelled
AUTHOR: Alexis - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, July 08, 2008POSTED: Tuesday, July 08, 2008
It worked and I was able to cancel all three of my trials and I got a cancellation number. I also advised my credit card company to not let any other charges go through from these people. Still, the person I eventually talked to at Synapse/New Sub Magazine insisted that they do tell callers how to reach a live person but that is a lie....they do not! They must think the callers are idiots. I told this person that I called back four separate times and chose a different option everytime and not once did I hear any type of choice on the automated system to reach a live person. Be careful of this group! If you can't get help with them go straight to the magazine that you are trying to cancel and get them to help you. I also advised Entertainment Weekly that they are using a fraudulant company to market free trials of their magazine. They had no idea of all the fraud reports on this marketing company.
The most ridiculous thing was that when I finally got a live person at Synapse/New Sub Magazine and told the customer service rep to cancel all of my trials she actually tried to offer me other trials! Unbelievable! I practically had to scream at her to stop with the offers.....why would I accept another offer when I spent the entire day trying to cancel the offers I already had.
This company is ripping people off. I accepted a free subscription to one of the magazines and paid a $2.00 charge for the processing but I found another charge for $5.90 on my credit card statement. I am disbuting that charge with my credit card company. Whatever you do, do not use a debit card with these people! They are liars and theives and I will still be reporting them to the CT Attorney General.

American's United For Life and Susan B. Anthony List Targets Look Very Similar
As each new anti-abortion campaigning group enters the field, it's like a reoccuring sense of deja vu.
I'm sure no one would go as far as to call it collusion, but if some of the names on the list of candidates being attacked by American's United for Life in a new radio campaign seem kind of familiar, there may be a reason.
According to The Hill, American's United For Life is spending $600,000 on radio ads in 12 Democratic districts via their new "Life Counts" campaigning arm.
Of those 12 districts, two of them seem fairly familiar. Pennsylvania Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper and Indiana Rep. Joe Donnelly are two of the three candidates who are also being targeted by the Susan B. Anthony List, most recently via billboard.
This sense of deja vu is amplified even more when you compare The Hill's headlines for the two stories:

It's almost as though all of the anti-choice campaign groups were interchangeable.
At the very least, their target lists seem to be.

Tankless water heaters information home page:
This article series explains the operating characteristics of tankless water heaters, also called instant water heaters or "on demand" water heaters. Tankless water heaters may be installed to serve a building, building area, or as point of use electric water heaters.
The tankless point of use heaters we discuss include Bosch, Chromolite, Bradford White, Eemax, Instant-Flow, Noritz, Rheem, Rinnai, Stiebel, Takagi, Titan & other brands. We give contact information for each tankless water heater manufacturer. We also describe electric shower heaters: Dur-o-Matic, Marey, & other brands.
Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2017 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.
A tankless water heater saves energy by turning off completely when no hot water is being drawn - there are no standby losses - no tank of hot water needs to be kept hot when hot water is not being used.
Sketch of a point of use tankless water heater (at left) courtesy of Carson Dunlop Associates.
Although some instantaneous water heaters can provide up to 9 GPM (and use 200,000 BTUH), smaller units cannot provide very large hot water flow rates in gallons per minute.
If the hot water usage rate is expected to be high, a very high BTUH unit (efficient but not necessarily economical) or multiple smaller point of use tankless water heaters may be needed to satisfy all building occupants and uses.
Consumer Reports points out that a tankless water heater may be efficient but not necessarily economical to operate. What they mean is that it is certainly efficient to avoid heating water when no one is using it. But if water usage is high, a high-BTU tankless water heater may consume more total energy than a large but more conventional oil or gas fired hot water tank and burner.
As the name suggests, and as you can see in our photo at left of an electric Instant-Flow water heater, tankless water heaters have no tank, and therefore no storage capacity at all. When the faucets and fixtures in the home are idle, the water heater is dormant.
No stored hot water means no standby losses, and, if you match the heating capacity of your tankless heater to your hot water flow rate requirements, there is no delay in hot water supply and no running out of hot water.
The Instant-Flow® water heater shown is a Model S-48L/240 240-volt unit rated at 4800 watts and is installed on a 20-A electrical circuit.
Tankless heaters are supplied in all-electric models (shown here) and gas (or possibly oil) fired units that include a burner, heat exchanger, venting system, and the necessary controls.
When a hot water faucet is opened or the dishwasher or clothes washing machine calls for hot water, the tankless heater detects the water flow and ignites the burners.
These powerful burners quickly heat the water inside the small diameter heat exchanger. As hot water is drawn out, fresh cold water is drawn in and the cycle continues. A significant advantage of this system is that you can't empty all of the hot water out of the tank because there is no tank - just continuous hot water.
The other major advantage over conventional water heaters is energy savings. Tankless water heaters have no large reservoir of water that has to be kept hot around the clock in case hot water is needed. One side effect of the lack of storage is that all of the water in the system is cold when the system has not been in operation recently. When a hot water faucet is operated, it may take more time for hot water to be delivered than in a conventional system.
As you can see by our photo (left) of an Ariston tankless water heater, tankless or demand or "instant" water heaters are much smaller than conventional waters with storage tanks, and are usually wall-mounted.
However for non-electric tankless heaters, the burner on a tankless or demand water heater must be much larger than on a conventional heater since it has to instantly heat incoming cold water to its target hot temperature.
Most tankless water heaters are either electric, or they are fueled by natural gas or propane and are vented through a side wall of the house.
As Rheem points out, "The venting must be Category III, Stainless steel, and it applies to the adapter, the vent pipe, all elbows, and terminal vent. This is important because the flue gases and by-products of combustion can cause condensation. Stainless steel will not deteriorate like type B venting under these conditions."
Tankless water heaters are often much more efficient than conventional water heaters, using modulating burners, direct venting and/or condensing combustion systems.
Most systems include a mixing (tempering) valve and a means of setting a maximum water temperature to avoid scalding. This tempering valve mixes some cold water with the hot water leaving the unit to reduce the temperature.
In one sense, there should be no need for a tempering valve, since we do not need to keep the reservoir water at 140° to prevent Legionnaires Disease.
On the other hand, since we don't know the flow rate of the water through the heater, the tempering valve may be needed since the burner cannot modulate to deliver exactly the temperature we want due to the infinitely variable water flow.
If the flow rate is low, the water moves more slowly through the heater, and picks up more heat from the burner.
Some tankless systems include a remote control, which can be used to monitor the performance of the system, display error codes or change the desired water temperature.
Also see RADIANT HEAT FLOOR MISTAKES where we describe use of small boilers or tankless coil type water heaters for radiant floor heating systems.

I recently installed an electric (120 amp) tankless water heater in a cabin - it actually has 6 ganged heating coils that turn on incrementally as the demand dictates. I also installed a scald less shower faucet - which (I think) decreases the hot water draw when water pressure decreases.
My dilemma is: two or three times during a typical shower, the water temperature will increase rapidly (too hot), and then decrease rapidly (too cold) - and then settle at the "agreed upon" temperature for a minute or two. The water system is on a residential well that uses a 40-60 lb pressure switch.
I theorize that when the pressure approaches the low (cut-in) point, the faucet demands more hot water (which causes the tankless heater to crank up more heating coils), but about the time that new hotter water reaches the shower (about 13 seconds from the water heater to the shower head) the pressure increases toward the 60-lb (cut-out) range - causing the faucet to demand less hot water - causing the water heater to shut down some of the heating coils.
So, If I set a closer differential between the pressure switch cut-in/cut-out pressures (like maybe raising the cut-in to maybe 50 lbs), could I eliminate that yoyo effect? Or could there be a different cause? - Cabin Jack 1/19/2012
Jack, Why not install an automatic mixing valve to regulate the temperature regardless of water pressure?
Also see TANKLESS WATER HEATER REPAIR GUIDE where we discuss other reasons that hot water temperature may vary when using an instant or tankless water heater.
I am thinking of replacing our hot water tank: which is best gas or electric? would prefer electric to avoid venting - Sid Archer 10/7/12
Sid there is not a single right answer to which type of water heater is best, as you want to match the heater to the intended use. Depending on where you live, electrical rates may make gas fuel look less costly to operate, possibly more costly to buy and install, including cost of a chimney or vent system.

Dose a gas tankless water heater require a pop off valve?
Good question Anon.
Some tankless water heaters such as the POWERSTAR AE7.2 Point-of-Use Electric Tankless Water Heater and also the Rheem Tankless Electric RTE 13 are advertised as not requiring a pressure/temperature relief valve, but even there the manufacturer notes that the TP valve may be required by local codes.
But certainly there are tankless heaters that are installed with the valve and that include it OEM. And there are TP valves designed for these heaters such as the Rheem AP12993C Pressure Relief Valve and the Watts Model 3L TP valve. So the answer, as Mark Cramer says, is ... It depends...
Though it's always safe and not harmless to add a properly-located TPR valve.
Give us the brand and model number for more details.

I just bought a Rheem RTE 13 with supply and outlet pipes on the side of the box.
For winterizing a cabin against freezing, how do I drain the water left inside the tank.
The Rheem Tankless Electric RTE 13 is a tankless water heater. There is no "tank" to drain. However there will be water in the coiled copper tubing inside the water heater that must and can be drained via service valve found at the bottom of the coil inside the unit.

Over the range microwaves, also called microhood microwaves, are usually of great value, as they provide two functions. They do everything a standard microwave does and they also do what a range hood does – extract and get rid of steam, smoke and odors. They either have a vent to remove air to the outside or use a charcoal filter to clean and recycle air back in.
Because the hood is on the underside of the microwave, they cannot be used on a countertop. However, choosing one of these gives you a great way to save counter space. They are made to fit into spaces between cabinets, which are usually 30" wide, and over a stove.
Here is a quick link to the top rated over-the-range microwaves available on Amazon.
When shopping for a microwave oven with vent, it is important to consider the wattage and CFM (air removal measured by cubic feet per minute). Microwaves of about 1000 watts will generally cook fast and with great efficiency. Anything below 700 watts will be disturbingly slow and will, in most cases, not cook food evenly. A ventilation system that is rated at 300 cfm is good but a lower rating is sufficient for kitchens that are naturally well ventilated.
Choosing a small over the range microwave oven, just like with all other kinds of microwaves, will require you to first learn of what features each appliance has and what is there for you to enjoy from each type. Here are the five best over the range microwave ovens in the market at the moment. They are all available in 3-4 colors.
Best Traditional Over the Range Microwaves
Sharp R-1406 1.4-Cubic-Foot Over-the-Range Microwave
If you're looking for a no frills, no fuss, reliable unit under $250, the Sharp R-1406 950 Watt compact over the range microwave is for you. It is probably the best priced of its kind that you can get anywhere. Any less expensive over the range microwave ovens definitely cannot match the features and ease of use of this unit. It also comes with well detailed directions for installation and all the necessary mounting hardware, which makes it quite an easy job even for one person.
You can choose to vent vertically or horizontally, or you can choose the recirculating option. You will have to buy the charcoal filter separately if you want to use the recirculating option instead of external vent. In addition to the vent fan, it comes with under the hood light bulbs for range cooking lighting.
It fits perfectly in a 30" opening and is designed for low clearance stovetop space. Its capacity is 1.4 cubic feet. It features a wattage of 950, which is sufficient to evenly cook food at a reasonable pace. The turntable is just over 14", which is large enough for a 9″ x 13″ dish. Programming this unit is easy with a cook minute plus setting and you can choose from 4 cooking, 4 reheating and 4 defrosting power options. The LED display is easy to read too.
The only criticism that this unit receives is that its exhaust fan is quite loud.
GE JVM3160RFSS 1.6 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Range Microwave
This GE JVM3160RFSS unit weighs only 61.8 pounds with a width of just under 30" and a capacity of 1.6 cu. Ft. It has a 2-speed venting CFM rating of 300 and has a cooking power of 1000 watts, which means that food will cook fast and evenly. Additionally, it has 10 cooking levels, which allows you to cook, reheat or defrost a wider range of foods and beverages. It also a one touch panel with 6 settings to express cook from 1 to 6 minutes, a timer and clock, and an on and off option for the turntable. Its shell is stainless steel and it looks good in the kitchen. It also makes it much easier to clean. There is a cook top light with two brightness levels in addition to the interior light.
Installation is quite a job, even for two people. However, after that, it is quite simple to use and easy to clean. It also produces a lot less noise compared to most other such units. The turn on and off turntable feature is useful if you need to accommodate large dishes that don't have space to rotate.
It comes with a charcoal filter that efficiently cleans and recycles air but you can also convert it to vent upwards or towards the back if you prefer.
Frigidaire Gallery FGMV175QF 30 in. 1.7 cu. ft. Over the Range Microwave
This Frigidaire Gallery
FGMV175QF Microwave has a 2 speed fan with a 180/300 CFM vent system and Auto-start Heat Sensor and heats food with 1000 watts of power. Its weight is 63 pounds and is also large in capacity at 1.7 cubic feet though it fits in a 30" space. There is an optional built in trim kit. It works efficiently and is quite easy to use and install. It comes with a dishwasher-safe ductless filter and charcoal filters.
It can do everything a microwave oven should do. For the price, it is a great option. The controls are quite efficient with 10 power levels and Express-Select Controls for choosing time and power, but you can also use one of the One-Touch Options options for baking a potato, popping corn, defrosting, add 30 seconds, reheating, etc. It also has a sensor cooking function if you want it to automatically adjust time and temperature to cook the food.
The turntable is 13″ in diameter and can be turned on or off. The SpaceWise Rack maximizes the interior space to allow you to cook multiple dishes at once.
An incandescent night light and cooking light is present under the hood. The machine and fan are not noisy in operation. It also comes in an all black, stainless steel or white.
All in all, it is a great product for the price.
Amana 1.5 cu. ft. Over-the-Range Microwave, AMV1150VAW
This Amana AMV1150VAW unit also cooks at 1000 watts of power and at ten different levels for versatility of cooking. It has a 2-speed vent fan at 220 cfm. The default set up is to recirculate the air with a charcoal filter so if you want it to vent to the outside you'll have to reconfigure it according to the instructions.
It features a simple touch pad and a scrolling word prompt display makes operating it a breeze. You can choose from several auto-cook and auto-defrost options and an add-a-minute feature that greatly simplifies the cooking process. Even without reading the instructions, it is far easier to use compared to other models. It is a stylish looking appliance too.
The biggest problem with this unit is the fan. It is too noisy for anyone to have a decent conversation around the kitchen area while cooking. While the capacity and size of the turntable is not the largest in this list, it is a great option at a low price for a couple or small family.
Best Over the Range Convection Microwave
GE Profile PVM9179DKBB 1.7 Cu. Ft.
This is the most feature packed over the range convection microwave oven in the market. The GE Profile PVM9179DKBB capacity is 1.7 cubic feet and can accommodate small casserole dishes. With 950 watts and 10 heating levels, this unit can boil, reheat, defrost and cook a wide variety of foods and beverages. The biggest reason to buy an over the range microwave convection oven combo rather than a regular one is to get near oven-quality results on certain tasks, like baking. By using the Fast Cook feature on this unit, the combined microwave and convection cooking does just that.
The Chef Connect feature gives you three quick options too. You can set it to automatically sync clocks and your range elements with the microwave's light and vents. The cooktop lighting gives you 3 brightness levels, including night light, and the 3-speed 300 cfm external vent removes steam, smoke and odors efficiently. If you want to recirculate you can use the included charcoal filter kit.
A control dial allows you to set cooking time and temperature in small increments. It also uses sensors to automatically adjust to optimal cooking time and temperature. You can see what the oven status is at anytime from the scrolling electronic display that also shows the time. A removable oven rack is useful for convection cooking and the turntable can be turned on or off as wanted. This microwave comes with a keep warm feature that keeps plates warm till the food is ready to be consumed.
It is also easy to install, has an easy to clean ceramic interior, and has a stylish look. The unit is quite durable and has lots of features.
Some users say that it is difficult to use at first. A few customers say that it quit working a few weeks after buying.

New Delhi: Even as Delhi Police Thursday called for questioning two people who witnessed the collapse of a constable during a protest against gang-rape here, a third witness said the policeman was kicked by protesters.
The constable, Subhash Tomar, died of injuries two days later at a hospital Dec 25. Doctors and police have offered conflicting versions on the exact cause of his death.
"I was protesting quietly near India Gate Sunday (Dec 23). Out of the crowd, I saw a stone thrown at (constable) Subhash Tomar and he fell. Then five-six men came and kicked Tomar several times," said Salim Alvi, a 31-year-old activist from Bulandshahar in Uttar Pradesh.
"They (attackers) were wearing caps with logo of Aam Aadmi Party. Their shoes had spikes," Alvi said.
The attack continued for about 20 seconds and then the men ran away, he said. "I even ran after the men and told them they should not have been violent with cops."
Yogendra Tomar and Pauline (the other two witnesses) might have reached the spot after him, Alvi said.
"I kept quiet for a day after his (constable) death. But when wrong things started coming out in the media, I thought I should tell the truth," he said.
Alvi approached the police Thursday and the crime branch recorded his statement.
But Yogendra Tomar had said Wednesday that Tomar was neither assaulted nor trampled upon.
"He fell on his own while chasing the crowd. In fact, many protesters came to help him."
Pauline backed Yogendra, saying she saw "no visible injuries" on Tomar.
The police are also collecting video footage from news channels to establish the sequence of events.
T.S. Sidhu, medical superintendent of Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, where Tomar died, also said Wednesday that the constable had "no major external injury marks except for some cuts on his right knee and bruises on his chest".
Police the same day quoted Tomar's post-mortem report, saying he suffered "multiple internal injuries produced with the impact of a blunt object on his neck and chest".
Cops quiz witnesses of constable's collapse
Two people, out of three who said they witnessed constable Subhash Chand Tomar collapse during an anti-rape protest in the capital, were questioned by the Crime Branch of Delhi Police Thursday.
"The two were questioned for five hours. Their statement were recorded," a police officer told IANS.
Police had called all the three witnesses for questioning, however, only two - Yogendra Tomar, in his 20s, and Salim Alvi, 31, turned up for questioning.
"Pauline, the third witness, is likely to join investigation tomorrow," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) S.B.S. Tyagi.
Witness Yogendra Tomar, who is a journalism student, reached the Crime Branch office in Chankayapuri around 3 p.m.
"I am not under any kind of pressure. I will tell crime branch officials what I have been saying till now," Yogendra told reporters while entering the office.
Constable Tomar, 47, collapsed near Tilak Marg during the anti-rape protest around India Gate Sunday and died of cardiac arrest early Tuesday.
Police said he was trampled upon by the crowd. Yogendra along with Pauline, in her 20s, said the constable collapsed while chasing the crowd and that he was not beaten or trampled by the protesters.
Alvi, who claimed that the constable was beaten up by protesters, also came to the crime branch office.
Alvi, a social worker, Thursday volunteered to offer his statement after claiming that he saw the constable collapse.
The case of the constable's death was handed over to crime branch Wednesday.
Two of the three witnesses have challenged the police version of the constable being beaten by the crowd. Yogendra said Wednesday: "He (Tomar) wasn't assaulted or trampled."
"He fell on his own while chasing the crowd. In fact, many protesters came to help him," he said.
Pauline backed Yogendra's version and explained in detail how their efforts to revive the unconscious policeman failed, adding that she saw "no visible injuries" on the constable's body.
T.S. Sidhu, medical superintendent at the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital where Tomar died, said Wednesday that the constable had "no major external injury marks except for some cuts on his right knee and bruises on his chest" and "was brought here in a total collapsed stage".
Police were also collecting video footage from news channels to establish the sequence of events on the day of the incident.
Investigators Wednesday quoted an autopsy conducted on the constable which said he suffered "multiple internal injuries produced with the impact of a blunt object on his neck and chest". They did not talk about a mob attack.

Is Creatine safe?
Amid allegations that the powder may have played a role in Jonah Lomu's illness, our reporter asks if we should be concerned about its popularity among our young atheletes
It's hailed as the wonder powder to boost performance on the pitch. But this week saw Creatine in the spotlight after it was alleged by a former team-mate the supplement may have played a part in Jonah Lomu's death.
According to the All Black legend's former teammate, Joeli Vidiri, both he and Lomu routinely took the muscle-bulking product as part of their training regime in the late 1990s.
Both players were later diagnosed with the rare kidney disease, nephrotic syndrome, with Lomu's death last November at the age of 40, almost certainly linked to kidney disease.
Dad-of-two Vidiri (42) says he now wonders what role Creatine may have played in their condition. "I would be happy if somebody came through with a study to help with that - and to help the young people who are taking it now," he says in an interview with the Telegraph.
"We need to know what are the side effects of taking it. I would love to know that because we can advise the young people about the right way to go."
It's a troubling development for the product that is routinely sold over the counter at health stores across Ireland. Particularly given the number of young players who may be following their sporting idols' example in a bid to bulk up.
Former Ireland and British Lions player David Irwin is now a practising GP. He believes there's increasing pressure on younger players to match the physicality of older players.
"I'm sure most of the professionals use or have used Creatine in the past and I'm aware that at schools level they are probably using it too. Players at school tend to copy other players further up," he says.
"There's a big debate as to whether schools teams should be bulking up, but the professional game is creeping further down the age groups. Players get talent-spotted at an early age, they're trying to stay a step ahead so they can potentially get into an academy - they want to do whatever they can to stand out."
And that means doing whatever it takes to be the most physically assertive person on the pitch. Several years ago Dr Suzanne Guerin, from the department of psychology at UCD, conducted research that revealed 12pc of those involved in schools sports had at one time taken Creatine. Given the increased demands made of players on the rugby pitch, it seems likely this figure will only have risen.
Creatine is made from the body's own amino acid and used to build muscle mass and improve performance. It's not banned, but there's clearly a degree of uncertainty around it. In 2013 the Irish Sports Council recorded 56 separate requests online to check if Creatine was on its prohibited substances list. The IRFU states on its website that it "strongly advises against the use of nutritional ergogenic aids, in particular Creatine, in young players under 18 years of age".
Professor Brendan Buckley, chairman of the Irish Sports Council's anti-doping committee, says school rugby players are making themselves "more susceptible to injury" by taking Creatine before their bones are hardened and fused.
A few years ago a report from the French Agency of Medical Security for Food reported a "potential carcinogenic risk" associated with the product. Welsh runner, Iwan Thomas has been vocal in blaming it for leg cramps that negatively impacted his performance.
"Taking Creatine may cause stomach cramps, diarrhoea and renal issues," says Tom Coleman, a health scientist and consultant specialising in performance and recovery and founder of My Nutrition.
"Creatine will not build muscle. It's involved in the energy system and not muscle repair. Although muscles appear bigger, this is due to creating binding molecules of water within the muscle."
While he's keen to point out that credible sporting bodies have recorded Creatine as safe, legal and effective when taken under correct supervision, he agrees there's cause for concern around young athletes taking it without direction.
"Young men are still developing in a physiological sense and there are a huge amount of changes occurring due to their own natural hormones," he explains.
"Taking excessive doses of Creatine may be dangerous and have an effect on kidney function. The best advice would certainly be to wait until they have reached physical maturity."
Dr Declan de Freitas, consultant in Renal Medicine at Beaumont Hospital Kidney Centre, disputes the notion that Creatine can cause kidney failure, but says that taking it on top of an existing kidney problem could exacerbate it.
A pertinent point, given that Vidiri asserts that Lomu continued taking the muscle-bulking supplement after his diagnosis in 1995.
"There has been a number of studies examining the use of Creatine supplements for a variety of indications, with no evidence that Creatine causes kidney disease," he explains. "Creatine supplementation could artificially make kidney blood tests look worse."
But ultimately perhaps what's needed is a total overhaul in rugby. "The game has changed a lot since I was playing and in my opinion it's changed for the worse," says Irwin.
"Even in the pro game a lot of the players are almost too big now. It's very physical, there's no room to do anything other than run into each other. It nearly comes down to who's biggest and heaviest is going to win."
He adds: "It's why we're seeing so many injuries, the muscles are so strong that they are pulling the bone off the skeleton."
The fact that the pro game is rife with tacticians and nutritional trainers has "stopped players being able to think for themselves" and there's a need to turn the clock back on how rugby is played.
"Otherwise we're going to see more and more young players get put off entering the game," he warns.

In a 2002 interview with David Carroll and Kyla Ward, author/publisher Richard Harland records that the press known as Karl Evans is, in fact, two separate and distinct business entities. The first Karl Evans was established by as yet unidentified literature enthusiast in Balmain, Sydney, in the early 1980s. Its only known publication was Harland's Testimony (1981). Sometime around 1992/1993, Harland contacted the publisher to enquire about the possibility of having his first novel, The Vicar of Morbing Vyle, also released by the press, but discovered that it was no longer operating. After being offered the rights to the name, Harland published the novel himself, using the slightly altered company trade name Karl Evans Publishing.
Karl Evans Publishing was set up in Wollongong while Harland was lecturing and undertaking his Ph.D.

Maybe I'm spoiled because Charleston really is that kind of town and there are some things we take for granted. Courtesy being one of them. We like our good manners and rightfully so.
Which brings us to the pre-show instructions on how to be respectful of your fellow audience members. These requests generally capture as much attention as a flight attendant's pre-flight safety demo. We know how to buckle our seat belts. We know there's a card in the seat pocket in front of us illustrating the exits. And yes, we're aware that the nearest emergency exit may, indeed, be behind us. Still, I keep hoping one day to glance up from my reading as these instructions are being pantomimed in the aisle and find myself truly impressed. I long to compare notes with my seat-mates about that experience. "I felt she brought real verve and nuance to the material. When she got to the bit about only inflating the safety vest once outside the aircraft, I was moved." But that's me.
I do like that a number of Spoleto productions have taken the art of the gentle courtesy reminder to new levels of artistic expression and doing so in a way that actually reflects the spirit of their show. A couple examples.
The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs pre-show began with Apple's default computer voice reading a list of don'ts and describing the dire consequences of failing to heed the prohibitions. It was clever, it fit the show's topic and earned geek bonus points because it sounded like Stephen Hawking was telling you to behave.
Sadly, this didn't get through to everyone. During a pivotal moment in Daisey's monologue, a cell phone rang. Daisey stopped the show and waited. He explained, cheerfully, that when Spoleto staff had asked him if he had any special requests of them, anything at all, he had just the one. That they make clear, in the most rigorous terms, that cell phones should be turned off during the show. That's all he'd asked for, he said. The point was made. Clearly put off his pace by the interruption, he wondered aloud, "Where was I?" Then resumed the show.
In a reverse psychology twist, Traces reminded people to leave their cellphones on so they wouldn't miss an important call. And encouraged them to take as much video as possible to preserve this moment for their families. And would they please snap some flash pictures because it didn't matter if this caused accidents to befall suddenly blinded performers. And lastly, to be aware that there were emergency exits everywhere because something awful could indeed happen at any moment.
It's true. Awful things can happen at any time. So let's all pretend our mothers are right there with us, coaxing us into good behavior. Please. And thank you.

Choose Mux Demux Modules From FiberStore
Posted on
Where can you get the best Mux Demux Modules? I suggest you should come to FiberStore. From 2012 on, FiberStore has came to be the best fiber optic products supplier in China. Our products are all inexpensive with high quality.
As Mux Demux Modules are playing an important role in fiber optic network, more and more areas need these good products. First, let us have a talk about mux/demux. In telecommunications, a multiplexer(or mux) is a device that combines several input information signals into one output signal, which carries several communication channels, by means of some multiplex technique. A demultiplexer(or demux) is, in this context, a device taking a single input signal that carries many channels and separates those over multiple output signals.
What we are going to say today, is the CWDM mux and demux. CWDM is short for coarse wavelength division multiplexing, a technology of WDM. CWDM mux and CWDM demux are designed to multiplex multiple CWDM channels into one or two fibers. The core of CWDM modules application is the passive mux/demux unit. In FiberStore, the common configuration of CWDM modules is 1*4, 1*8, 1*16 channels, available in 19 Rack Mount or LGX module package. Optional wide band port for existing 1310nm or 1550nm port is available to multiplex with these CWDM Channels. Together with CWDM transceiver series or the wavelength converter series, the bandwidth of the fiber can be utilized in a cost effective way. The important advantage of CWDM modules is the cost of the optics which is typically 1/3rd of the cost of the equivalent DWDM optics.
Let us have a look at one of the CWDM mux/demux modules in FiberStore. This is a 8 Channels CWDM module. And here are its Key Features.
1). One rack unit (RU) in height housing-1U
2). Rack mountable in 19 (23 also available on customer requirement)
3). Mux and Demux combined in one 1U Rack
4). Compliant to ITU-T G.694.2 CWDM standard
5). Accepts any data rate and any protocol on any port up to 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps
6). Fully transparent at all data rates and protocols from T1 to 40 Gbps
7). Completely passive, no power supply needed
8). Simple to install, requires no configuration or maintenance
9). Low-cost transceivers applicable, existing equipment can still be used
10). ISO 9001 manufacturing facility
11). Lifetime Product Warranty
Note: CWDM mux/demux combine and split light signal of CWDM wavelengths. CWDM transceivers generate light signals of specific CWDM wavelengths. OEO converts two independent signals into a corresponding wavelength in CWDM and DWDM network infrastructures. In addition, the integrated 3R functionality enables to accomplish a transmission of long distances up to 80km. If CWDM transceivers can plug into active devices directly, No need OEO converters.
Welcome to FiberStore and we will offer you the best fiber optic products which are all in good performance.

Hurricane forecasters from Colorado State University are predicting a mild hurricane season for 2014 — especially in Florida — with a total of nine named tropical storms expected to form in the Atlantic basin.
Forecasters Bill Gray and Phil Klotzbach believe that of those nine storms, just three will become hurricanes. Of those, one is expected to be major, the pair said at the National Hurricane Conference Tuesday morning.
"It will be a lighter-than-normal season," Klotzbach said.
But the duo said they believe there is a 35 percent chance that one of the hurricanes this season — which begins officially on June 1 and lasts until the end of November — will have a U.S. landfall.
Klotzbach said, however, that the chance of a hurricane making landfall in Florida was just 13 percent.
"The normal chance is 1 in 5 for Florida," said Klotzbach. "This year it is 1 in 7."
Both Gray, 84, who has been a meteorologist for 60 years, and Klotzbach, his forecasting partner for the past 14 years, point to the development of an "El Ni�o" pattern of warm water in the Pacific Ocean as the primary reason that the coming Atlantic hurricane season will be lighter than normal.
"There is a 3-1 difference in U.S. storm landfalls in La Ni�a years (cold water in the Pacific) than in El Ni�o years," Klotzbach said.
El Ni�o weather patterns send winds to the east that inhibit hurricane formation off the coast of Africa. Colder Pacific ocean water associated with La Ni�a reverses winds and helps Atlantic hurricanes.
Gray and Klotzbach base their predictions on a variety of factors, including weather across a wide swath of the globe that might affect the Atlantic.
The pair also rely heavily on history, which has taught them to differentiate between conditions that are prevalent in active hurricane seasons and during calmer seasons.
Their predictions aren't always on the mark. In late July 2013, Klotzbach and Gray, who head the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State in Fort Collins, were famously wrong in their prediction that the Eastern U.S. and Gulf of Mexico would experience eight major Atlantic hurricanes. There were but two.
"Last year was a disaster," said Gray. "We didn't do so bad on named storms, but we predicted eight hurricanes and got two. That, my friends, is a bust."
Gray and Klotzbach predicted 18 named storms, and 14 actually formed.
Showing a rough cartoon of the two of them sitting at a table, sticking forks into a black bird, Gray said: "We properly ate our crow. It doesn't taste too good."
Gray attributes the botched forecast on "an anomaly in ocean pressures. In the spring, it shifted. Where the pressure is typically low, it became high. Where it is typically high, it became low."
In other words: "The thermohaline circulation (THC) collapsed, and that is why we did not have but two weak hurricanes. The water temps became very cold."
Thermohaline circulation is "a large-scale circulation in the Atlantic Ocean that is driven by fluctuations in salinity and temperature," said Gray.
"When the THC is stronger than normal .�.�. more Atlantic hurricanes typically form."
Unusual wind patterns also clashed with the abnormal ocean currents brought about by the circulation, which sheared the tops off hurricanes before they had a chance to mature.
"I have never seen such a change," said Gray. "This was not in our data set. We will not make that error again. We are going to watch circulation (THC) changes very closely from now on."
At least Klotzbach will. He has already taken over largely from Gray, who is close to retiring.
Gray's decision to bow out has little to do with the one sour forecast, however, and more to do with his criticism of climate-change theory.
The subsequent backlash from government and other scientists, he said, has made it difficult to raise money for the Tropical Meteorology Project.
While the prevailing thought is that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will lead to more and stronger hurricanes, Gray still contends science and history do not bear that out.
"As CO2 has gone up, the number of hurricanes has gone down," he said.
"As the years go by, the global warming hypothesis has been greatly exaggerated hype. The scientists will be shown to be wrong. We should not be doing anything (to curb emissions). Sure, look into renewable energy, but don't go to it heavily or else there will be an economic disaster."
For his part, Klotzbach prefers to quote 19th century French meteorologist Francois Arago:
"Never, no matter what may be the progress of science, will honest scientific men who have regard for their reputations venture to predict the weather."
After last year's hit to their reputations, Gray and Klotzbach are looking for redemption in 2014.
