Question about how to install detergent lid spring.
Model Number: DUL200PKQ1 Brand: Whirlpool Age: 5 - 10 years
Recently the pin that holds the detergent lid open on the inside of the door broke. I ordered a new pin, spring and lid so I could repair. I installed all three pieces but the door does not pop open and stay open as it should. I have not been able to figure out the trick for situating the spring so that it does its job. I have seen all of the diagrams but nothing that details the actual installation steps. Please help if you can.

Installing detergent lid spring
I had the same problem, had to replace a defective spring. The trick is putting it all back together with the spring in the right place. I ended up going to Sears to see how it looked in a new machine (luckily they still had ONE model with the same detergent dispenser!).
If you're not sure which way the spring goes, remember that the spring should compress (coil) when the detergent door is closed, and uncoil when it snaps open.
What I finally figured out to reassemble, that worked:
1) Put the spring and pin on the detergent door, with the spring coiled so the top side of the coils point back (toward the detergent cup)
2) Snap the pin back into its slots, with the spring's square center tab toward the matching base in the dishwasher door
3) GENTLY lift one side of the pin up again, so you have room to use a small screwdriver to push the free end of the spring into the detergent lid, then press the pin back in
4) Repeat (3) with the other side of the pin, and the other end of the spring.
(Sorry if this isn't clear without pictures, I don't have any.)
Detergent lid spring picture
Thanks to the previous poster for the instructions. With your instructions and a photo of my parents' dishwasher, I was able to install a new spring. I was tired of setting a timer to add the detergent. I wanted to share my photo
Another way...
I tried the above instructions and did not have any success. I had an idea and it worked really good for me so I thought I would share it!
The trick is, you need to install the pin with the spring before you do anything with the lid. Then you can use a rubber band to coil the spring and hold it in place while you snap the lid onto the pin.
Here are my instructions:
1. Make sure the spring is in the correct orientation (see photo above)and that the pin is fully inserted through both holes on the door.
2. Thread a rubber band between the pin and the washer door and leave yourself a nice sized loop sticking up. You are going to "lasso" the two ends of the spring with this loop.
2. Rotate the spring so that the two little points are up in the air. The flat part of the spring will not be pushing into the groove. You do not want there to be any tension in the spring at this time.
3. Use this loop to go around both of the little ends of the spring that are sticking up in the air.
4. Pull on the rubber band so the flat part of the spring rests in the groove and you will pull the two spring ends around to the other side of the pin. This is where you have added the coil tension to the spring.
5. Keep tension on the rubber band with one hand and make sure the pin stays fully engaged in both holes while you grab the lid with your other hand.
6. Position the lid so the little ends of the spring are inside the little recess in the middle of the lid. Note: You might want to snap the first lid hinge onto the pin at this point. It will help to keep the lid in place while you work.
7. Snap the rest of the lid hinges onto the pin (4 snap points in all) while making sure that the spring ends stay captured in the recess.
8. Everything should be in place now. Let the tension off the rubber band and the lid should go to the open position.
9. Cut the rubber band by the spring and pull it free. It should be wedged into the spring coil and a little difficult to pull out so cut it as close to the coil as possible so you are not pulling a long length of rubber band through it. A razor blade works well for this.
10. You are done! Test the lid to make sure you can close it and that it snaps to the open position when you release the mechanism.
I hope this is helpful to you and easier that the above method.

The rubber band lasso is very clever!
One other tip. When I finally go this to work, I discovered that I could squish and scrunch the spring much more aggressively than I first thought. Trying to delicately pull the ends into position made it much harder.
Thanks so much!!!
When My hubby is away, I can't sleep so I do things w/o taking away his man card... Like fix the dishwasher :-) My spring just slipped out of place.
Thank you so much for the rubber band lasso Idea. My dishwasher is now snapping open again. I had trouble feeding the rubber band past the post but using a twist tie as a needle threader did the job!
Using the picture above, position the spring on the horizontal post (about 3" plastic pin) with the center spring loop facing back and the spring ends pointing up. Carefully lower the door (as if it were fully closed) over the spring ends. Press the lid firmly on each side, snapping it onto the post. Open the door, check to see that the spring ends are properly held inside the door. With a small flat screwdriver, simply pull the spring loop up and over the small catch - voila!

Federal Financial Aid and the Independent Student
Are you considered an independent student? Find out.
By The Fastweb Team
September 04, 2018
"I am a college sophomore and I pay for school myself. For the last two years, I have used my parents' tax information on the FAFSA. Since I pay for school myself without any help from my parents, should I list only my own tax information to be eligible for more aid?"
This is a common question about the FAFSA: When and why must a student include parents' financial information when applying for federal aid? The answer has to do with whether you qualify as an independent or a dependent student.
Dependent vs. Independent
In the federal government's eyes, parents are responsible for their children's' education, regardless of whether or not the parents can actually pay. Taking this into account, the federal government applies two different standards for students, one for dependent students and one for independent students. Dependent students are assumed to have parental support while independent students are not. The result: independent students might qualify for more aid.
Being considered an independent student is not merely a matter of being responsible for your own educational expenses. You must meet certain criteria to be declared an independent student for the purposes of the FAFSA:
- Be 24 years of age or older by December 31 of the award year;
- Be an orphan (both parents deceased), ward of the court, in foster care or was a ward of the court when 13 years or older;
- Be a veteran of the Armed Forces of the United States or serving on active duty for other than training purposes;
- Be a graduate or professional student;
- Be a married individual;
- Have legal dependents other than a spouse;
- Be an emancipated minor or in legal guardianship;
- Be a homeless youth;
- Be a student for whom a financial aid administrator makes a documented determination of independence by reason of other unusual circumstances.
Changing Your Status
Dependent students may change their status, but it's not easy. You start by filing a Dependency Review Form, which can be requested from a financial aid administrator at your school. You also must provide documentation explaining your situation. Your case is then reviewed by a committee or financial aid office at your college.
Keep in mind that most students will not qualify for a change in status. Circumstances tend to be extreme (such as abandonment or physical abuse) to warrant the change. Simply residing in your own apartment or house is not adequate justification.
Tips for Filing as an Independent Student
If you do qualify as an independent student, follow these tips:
- Don't forget to complete the section that asks you for the number of people in your household. Be sure to include yourself.
- Filing as an independent student doesn't always mean that you can leave the parent section of the FAFSA blank. "Check first with the school before submitting your FAFSA. Some may want parental information on the FAFSA and/or on other forms, such as the CSS PROFILE form or the school's own aid application," Kalman A. Chany, Founder and President of Campus Consultants Inc. says. For example, graduate health profession students may be required to provide parental data even if they are independent.
- When filing as an independent, your school may ask you to submit proof before allowing any federal student aid. Have your documentation ready to avoid delays.
Need Money to Pay for College?
Every semester, Fastweb helps thousands of students pay for school by matching them to scholarships, grants, and internships, for which they actually qualify. You'll find high value scholarships like VIP Voice's $5,000 Scholarship, and easy to enter scholarships like Niche $2,000 No Essay Scholarship, and internships with companies like Apple, Google, Dreamworks, and even NASA!

NORMAL, Ill. (AP) — Illinois State basketball coach Dan Muller says he has kicked senior guard Bryant Allen off the team for an unspecified violation of team rules.
Muller said in a news release Monday that Allen may be able to stay in school and finish his degree but won't be part of the team.
Allen started 30 of the Redbirds' 32 games last season. The Maplewood, Mo. native averaged 8.6 points and 1.8 rebounds a game.
Guard Geoffrey Allen was kicked off the team last season while another guard, Tyler Brown, was suspended for unspecified conduct problems. Brown is back on the Redbird roster.
The Redbirds also lost forward Jon Ekey. He transferred to Illinois.
Illinois State's roster now lists only eight players.

But as useful as Netflix would find that data, it's not planning to use the new Kinect any time soon. "In the eventual future, maybe," Todd Yellin, Netflix's vice president of product innovation, tells Stuff.
Its one thing to use connected active information gathering like Netflix does with user recommendations. But its another to "cast a wide net" which uses everything someone does in the hopes of finding something useful.
You're right. The former being invasion of privacy and violation of consumer rights.
Man I see you in lots of X1 articles. Let me ask you, do you plan to buy a X1? Are you a current 360 owner? I really wanna know.
I am a current 360 with over 200 games bought (95% new) and 102340 in gamer score so I think I qualify for your survey.
I have no intention of buying a Xbox One with it's current build, I DO NOT WANT KINECT attached to my system.
I cannot support Microsoft's vision of Next Gen.
I have a PS4 and 8 games currently per-ordered.
My gamertag is under my profile, see for yourself.
I'm in the same page with Excalibur except that i won't buy it even if it remove kinect and make it 300$ . Why ?. Because of the experience i had with the X360. Only few exclusives is enough reason to make me avoid buying X1 let a lone the other problems..
I'm just following news to see if they change their policy and released games like gears 1 / alan wake which are in pc too . Man , i miss the old days when it was all about games , now gaming is too confusing and complicated , it's like politic feeling lol
Exactly BLK. It's the non x-boxers that are complaining about these things! Seriously, if you aren't going to buy it, why troll articles that are pro X-one? I comment out x-one articles, that deal with their specs and the kinect.
I kinda don't want Netflix watching Kinect watching me watch Netflix.
Look outside your window.
"The idea of a camera peering into their living room is something that presents some great possibilities, but it also presents some big concerns."
At least one big cooperation gets it.
Uhhhhh, its Netflix. How else are they able to suggest movies to me without tracking the movies I have watched?
And this is a post 9/11 world in the US. EVERYTHING is being watched. That's been going on LONG before Xbox One and their kinect.
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!!! Trying to convince these Sony Fanboys that "spying" didn't start with kinect is a full time job! But they use ANYTHING to discredit MS. Pathetic...
24/7 on camera with a mic in my living room that's another lvl .. it's like living in bugged house which not just NSA is watching but any company that looking for ur data as lone as they pay ur price
Ms already sold email to 3rd parties there's no reason they should shop there
it's only on as long as your xbox is on... if you're super paranoid about it you can do 2 things... unplug the xbox or unhook the kinect since you won't be using the console.
while it's connected you could also cover the mics and lens if you're super paranoid.
or simply not buy the console if it's that big a concern.
almost every internet site will sell your details in some manner if it suits their business needs.. it's usually in the Ts&Cs we all agree to without ever fully reading and understanding
You two, (Mikey & BLK) really don't get it. So because everyone else, as you say, spies on people through cameras, somehow Microsoft gets a free pass because it is becoming the norm now? If you know exactly that a corporation does this, then nobody should support it. I don't care if it's being done in a lot of areas, if the proof is there then you should acknowledge who's doing the spying. I don't believe every camera has a person spying on you behind it, not many has the money to be hiring people to spy on every single person. What I believe though is that there are certain things that can be said that are selected to be recorded just with your voice. This can be used for marketing purposes, it's still using your voice without permission.
"in June [2011], Microsoft was granted a patent for 'legal intercept' technology designed to be used with VOIP services like Skype to 'silently copy communication transmitted via the communication session.'"
Kryptix, very true. That has actually already been happening on wire-taps for years. Instead of having one person listening to every phone call they just have machines that pick up certain words and then forward them on to humans. Very scary. Can't believe some people actually want this in their home.
I wonder how long it will take before dealers get busted through xbox. I don't pity the dealers... though I do have pity for the drugs.
Cool that you understand how these things work. Not many people get it but I always try to explain it. Just like the Xbox One can pick up specific words like "Xbox On", it can also be programmed to pick up different words without you knowing. The technology has been proven to exist multiple times. Backed up with Microsoft's "legal intercept" technology patent, it makes Kinect a handy tool to be used to record your words in the background. And I provided the link in my previous post that explains the patent. Microsoft have said that there is a switch that can block the lens of the Kinect camera. But see, if they provided that small feature, they know the Kinect motion sensor won't always be needed. Why make the Kinect mandatory? It's going to be used as a recording device just as Skype is being used for that. (Check link in my previous post in this segment.) Microsoft's plan is to extend it from your computer to the living room. To always be on and looking for words, that's why the Xbox One was designed to be able to stay on for 10 years. Also designed the dashboard with "advertisement in mind" as Microsoft have said it. People's voices will be picked up and recorded and that information will go to advertisement agencies so MS can get a quick buck. And this goes with the NSA and Prism, the guy that had the documents is on CIA's top wanted list now. Look, I never said Microsoft are the only ones in this plan, but I'm only using the Xbox One because it's a gaming website. I'm giving people the knowledge they need to know not to support this shadiness. If it becomes successful, the next Xbox will have the same thing, too. Some people don't understand if you buy a console, you're also supporting what it does to be implemented in the next one. So yea, unless Microsoft changes it, the next Xbox after the One will have another mandatory Kinect or a built-in one. Just speaking truth...
Right, so lets just aid them in spying at an even greater magnitude than ever before... its a fact microsoft has and still does work with the nsa. Thats scary enough, then add the kinect in every living room... sorry but gamers don't want the damn camera in the first place. This is why microsoft is gonna be under sony this gen.
@ Kryptix
I have been trying to express these facts that people are conveniently and actively ignoring, but I either get called a "conspiracy theorist", i wear a "tin foil hat" or I'm "an extreme Sony fanboy".
So lets cover this again.
1) Kinect is a REQUIREMENT
2) It's still possible to turn the XB1 on without it.
3) It's still possible to navigate the OS with the controller.
4) You can block the lens from recording, but not the audio.
So why is it still a requirement for the system to run? Why?
There is nothing else out there to suggest it needs it other than the facts we can pick up with open eyes. You said it all dude.
It's both sad and pathetic that people can see this evidence, and ignore it based on a combination ignorance and stupendous brand loyalty. If you knew your TV company had your living room bugged, would you be as apologetic towards them? Damn. With every other device, you can disable inputs.
I do get it. I'm mature enough and intelligent enough to get it.
The question is, do you get it?
Ironically you don't because you chose to let MS be the scapegoat for policies that you have longed since agreed to long before they brought about this "invasion of privacy" people are so concerned about.
You're typing on the internet - duh!
You use Google to search - duh!
City cameras trapping speeders and monitoring streets - duh!
Credit card usage and cell phone triangulation - duh!
Whenever you log into your email at any location, you're being watched - duh!
Advertisements are being tailored made to recognize when you're in the vicinity and shows ads that pertain to you due to history purchase
I mean, c'mon really??? You guys choose to be internet revolutionaries when the war for your privacy has long since been over and we lost? No one had a word for the Patriot Act but my God, don't let MS in with their "always watching" kinect. Oh no!!!
You guys are hypocrites and don't know how stupid yall sounding.
Not everything that watches you have eyes...
"don't know how stupid yall sounding."
oooh, you're really not helping your argument.
But in all seriousness, your response to being watched is that it's already happening outside, I might as well bring it in to my living room?
I just want to be clear. Seeing as google, city cameras, credit cards, cell phones, adverts, literally every single thing you mentioned, do not have an always on camera in my living room, watching everything.
Is that your "intelligent" argument? With the amount of "duhs" in your post, I would argue that the only thing you wrote is a "belligerent" argument.
Yea because you don't have your image on public record and you don't Facebook. God forbid webcams before Kinect.
If you were actually smart, your baiting tactic would have been executed better.
Sorry Mikey but your argument is completely and utterly flawed. You are basically saying it's okay for Microsoft to do it because it's happening everywhere else.. I dread to think what sorry state our society would be in if everyone thought like you.
No matter what example you use, there is absolutely nothing that can look into my living room.. the closest thing is my mobile phone but the cameras on that can only see my ceiling.
Also everything I do on the internet, i can control myself, I have little to no control over kinect other than turning it off from the power source.
Wow, you brainchilds are multiple in numbers.
But since the same argumentative point is being stressed let me say this...
My argument has nothing to do with the idea that because you have "big brother" scenarios with everything else, why not add on one more.
No, you Einsteins. That wasn't even close.
My argument is this and has only been this: There are way more eviler entities that work the big brother aspect that should be more of a concern than another Kinect camera on a next gen gaming console that is well under the order of big brother to submit any information they deem.
Then I go on to point out the hypocritical. For those who actually work for a living and have their own, you should already know that Kinect is the least of your worries when it comes to this "invasion of privacy" crap.
At least MS doesn't have the power to recover all your records, monitor your facebook profile, track your purchases to make sure you're not part of a jihad, triangulate your position through cell phones and such...
Compared against all those oppositions, MS is now such an evil entity (yes a corporation is an entity).
If that's the case, then if you guys actually understand how corporations work, then you would know that none of these corporations actually are for your best interests.
So my argument involves something much more than some of you guys simplistic thinking. Think outside the box. Examine the whole picture instead of narrow scopes.
I actually had about a three paragraph reply, decided to delete it and just post this instead:
I'm sorry, but you really don't understand. I get that there is worse out there, trust me, I get that. But you do know that this is a gaming website and the best way to send the message is to use the Xbox One as an example? Especially with all the proof out there, it's up to the reader to do more research on the subject. You're saying that we're hypocrites but aren't you a hypocrite for calling us idiots for waking people up? I agree, it's not just Microsoft, it's been more than that, but are you really going to call us idiots for revealing the truth about Kinect's spying? You're not alone, the world has been waking up. It's just our job to tell the truth with proof to support it. And you did make it sound like Microsoft should get a free pass cause everyone is doing it. Instead you should of said, I agree plus this. You're bashing people for speaking the truth? It might just be a small part of something huge, but at least it's leads to more research. And don't use, "duh!" again...you're embarrassing yourself.
"Uhhhhh, its Netflix. How else are they able to suggest movies to me without tracking the movies I have watched?
And this is a post 9/11 world in the US. EVERYTHING is being watched. That's been going on LONG before Xbox One and their kinect." -Mikey/You
So you're argument has now shifted to an internet cause to wake people up to the injustices and invasion of privacy???? Oh please with that horse crap.
LOL I made it sound like that was what I was suggesting? Smh, so you ASSUMED that was my argument. You know why you did so? Because you didn't read my post objectively. You read it ignorantly and assumed such. That's why you didn't understand it. I know what I said, I can read that. That doesn't equate to me saying one evil is better than another, brainchild.
"Instead you should of said, I agree plus this"
Yea right. I'm not a submissive, passive person like you might be. If you don't like my strong opinions, don't step into the discussions, period.
The nerve of this guy. Now its some holy crusade to educate the masses about what is going on beyond Xbox for over the past decade that no one actually cared about for the last decade. Where were you when they started putting locator chips in babies? Or when your phone asked for permission to push notifications that required your GPS position? When the Patriot Act was introduced and your home (or your parents home for this matter) can be searched without a warrant? Your car can be tagged without city government authorization all because they think you might be terrorist?
Spare me that nancy grace bullcrap. What a joke.
Sounds like you're just trying to justify the stupidity in buying a console that you know will be used to spy on you.
For me personally, the only dog I have in this race is our rights and freedoms, I could care less what console you enjoy, thats your choice, but make sure youre not selling out you right to privacy and freedom just to own a stupid video game system.
No console is worth the erosion of your rights and freedoms.
So your attitude is: They watch us in shops and in the street, so what's the harm in letting them watch us in our homes.
What is your vision of the future?
I hope to God there's an army of free thinking students ready to embrace the notion of liberty because quite frankly, the future looks bleak.
It's only fair. It can't all be gimme gimme gimme. I watch Netflix and Netflix watches me. It's a healthy relationship! I do love how all these Xbox articles have the word "yet" attached at the end. No, the Xbox will not give you cancer. Yet.
I thought just giving money was good enough. Now Netflix wants a dinner AND a show?
Goodluck in using a DVR with NSA surveillance device hahahahahahahahahah..
*notices maria*
*clicks the back button*
The article isn't even typed out by Maria. Let me help you out by adding a piece of what the vice president of Netflix said in the article. Him stating that the Kinect can be used in the future. I think you should click on articles more often rather than just ignoring facts because of the headline or who posted it.
=======From article:

The idea of a camera peering into their living room is something that presents some great possibilities, but it also presents some big concerns."
A friend of mine who is a self-professed Apple fanboy - says that the future will be amazing! You'll come home from work and your house with adjust the temp, music and lighting while heating a meal - all based off what it learns from your daily habits. This information isn't free comfort....it's advertisers getting the metadata and video of your daily expressions as the relate to daily living.
But let me ask you - when has power ever stopped at doing good? This kinect 2.0 is the harbinger of many good things - but also of far worse things.
What happens when say a employee of MS decides he wants you removed. Maybe he knows you. Maybe he seen video of your online banking?
Maybe it's a hacker? Maybe it's gov who wants your land? Maybe a insurance company wants to subpoena video for your claims of migraines or back problems....but there you are playing dance dance resolution: cod edition. Lol
Point is - the future you envision will only be a small fraction of what truly is going on. And our privacy is as important as freedom.
Think of how employers have used Facebook against employees in the past 7yrs or so. Imagine what kinect 2.0 will do for employers who are just looking for any reason to can people to cut costs!
All these scenarios sound far fetched because its ludicrous right?!! I'd have said the same thing about the NSA scandal!
As governments start to truly collapse from financial ruin...it'll be big corps who rush in to help stabilize the world. This will lead to a lean of power to corps. We'll be living shadowrun in 30-50yrs. And then corps will be blatant about their use of your privacy on a level unheard of!
But that future is impossible! Sci-fi! I must be high!
I said those exact things to myself when reading 1984.
Stop thinking like fanboys concerning fav consoles.
You have a bigger responsibility to everyone...to see through the morass of shadows and do your part to fight for privacy....your constitutional right!
(I'll await the disagrees....it's ok. I'm old. I won't have to live in the world some of you are fostering by supporting kinect type of technologies)
Kinda reminds me of the movie smarthouse on Disney xD.
it's a good argument against it i'll agree but the difference between the NSA and non-government bodies who request the information (not saying NSA can get it that's up for debate i don't want to get into) is that the NSA was (whether constitutional or not) legally allowed to do the things it was doing with PRISM.
any employer, insurance company etc etc couldn't use any information they did obtain off of M$ because it would be illegally maintained and illegally shared without your permission...
i'm sure there is some legal way to obtain the information but then again i'm no expert and that's my take on it from my very limited knowledge on the law
Most intelligent post about this subject yet! It's not about brand loyalty, although some use it as ammo for the so-called console wars. It's really about drawing a line in the sand after the line has been continuously pushed. When there is proof and admission, there are no tin foil hats needed.
people have so many excuses , what about getting off your lazy ass and covering the camera, or is that way to hard to do when not using it for games or chat etc.
im sure if your favorite ps4 game used their cameras to great ability many of you would buy it for that game and wouldnt cry about it being on during the game. same applies for x1, they said you can shut down as much of it as you want and we as humans can walk up to it even while stuffing our fat faces with food, and cover the camera
Everyone keeps saying that they can just cover up the camera with a cloth but do we know if that is even possible with the new Kinect?
What if Microsoft has a system that allows Kinect to detect if its being covered or not?
And if you can cover it why doesnt Microsoft allow people to unplug it?
Motorola RAZR i
Could very well be, Master.
Let me ask this to people: if you have to cover up part of your system because you can't trust the company that sold it anymore. Is it a system worth having?
Not to you, it was more a rhetorical question since I'm most likely only to get flamebait responses
You are so lost it's unbelievable.
"im sure if your favorite ps4 game used their cameras to great ability many of you would buy it for that game and wouldn't cry about it being on during the game."
Hint, Hint, Hint. PS4 Camera isn't a requirement for the PS4 to function. Kinect 2.0 doesn't afford you an option and an incredible number of people who buy the XB1 won't realise that it's a requirement as it's bundled with the system. They won't realise it's a requirement until their Kinect breaks, or some crap like that.
And it doesn't end at throwing a towel over the lens. You can cover it up but, why should you have to when its reasons for requirement are unjust and dishonest. It it still an always-listening device. Read into the facts that we have at our disposal and you'll one day see sense. Until then Microsoft is going to see a lot of support from fools and the ignorant masses.
Only problem is that it has thermal tracking, an picks up heart beats in the given room.. An the console doesn't operate with it unplugged. I am a current 360 owner, Love Xbox just not the direction they are headed. Just like Windows 8, you give up all that info just to get a properly working OS. If your not willing to conform to MS's ways then you are stuck with half the features f Windows 8. Just don't like there all or nothing approach as of late to there consumers an products. An the problem with half the people's arguments about things spying on you, once again all those things have to first be initiated by you, create a facebook, download a wacky torrent now a hackers got you, etc etc etc. You are pretty much paying for a $500 tap to be brought inside your house. Doesn't matter if I'm doing something right or wrong in my own home. It's our rights but half the people that don't care, are probably the same ones thinking Bin Laden planned 9/11. Know one thing, this country is going to shit!
If you think Microsoft won't spy with the required Kinect I have a bridge to sell you.
The problem is that covering the camera doesn't cover the mic or the thermal possibly?
And it's not just a simply cover it up thing.....get some ethics and stand up for what you know is right....not just accept it because "cover it up with a cloth".
And yes....you can read countless cases of datamining misuse by big corps. They can drag on a court case long after your mortgage collateral for your lawyers has been bled dry.
MS new ToS for the Xbone states you can't sue them via a class action. You know why? because for many thats the ONLY way people could afford lawyers....especially the long term case that would follow.
You can still sue personally....but unless you have reserves of mountainous cash forget about it.
Don't forget that it may be legal for NSA to pull the sh1t it does....it's not ethical or constitutional.
Food for thought - theres a famous photo of a african girl in a desert. Shes maybe 6 or 7. She's clearly dehydrated and malnourished. She looks moments from death...
There's a sole vulture waiting beside her....patiently.
The journalist who took the photo had to wait hours to get that perfect national geographic photo. He won a Pulitzer for it!
Now....guess what? It was legal for him to let her die. Journalist code or some BS. His peers universally shunned him and he never got work again in entrenched journalism.
So you see...legally means jack sh1t!
(incidentally on the journalist death bed he told his long time friend that after taking the photo he gave the girl water and brought her into town for medical attention. he just was caught up in the lie...god knows why?!)
Perfect - now when we want to plan our conspiracies, we can simply put Netlfix on ! :P
dude the feds can listen in on your phone at any time, and your worried about thermals lol hackers can hack your smart tv camera and guess what people are stil buying smart tv's. you guys are living in the past & in denial, the nsa and feds and gov can spy on you regardless of what you do, if your online your spied on.
lets be honest..the problem here isn't the feds..the government..nsa..its Microsoft....guys here find everything they can to bitch about the xbox one..now they want to play on people FEARS to try an push them to buy a PlayStation..if it was sony that had the kinect we wouldn't even be having these kinda articles...
but since we're on it....the government passed a bill YEARS AGO that allows them to monitor phone calls home or cell..there's traffic cameras..street cameras all that watch you..most new cars come with voice activated systems with GPS that can track your every move in that car...can even set up a hotel room for you..if you have an accident it automatically calls 911 an can locate you, but i don't see you guys telling people not to buy those cars or don't buy iphones or any smart phones..if you use IE or chrome an ever go to eBay, amazon or just google SEARCHING..pay attention to your web pages afterwards...everything you searched is gonna start showing up in banners all over you screen..that's just the way shits in today an if you don't like it you might as well get offline an go underground....but at the end of the day..let all agree what this is...sony fanboys agenda to get people ON THEIR SIDE...smdh...you guys got a damn cult mentality...
Ok I think i have heard enough...I am shocked to learn that some of you are ok with the Kinect camera watching you because "its already happening in daily life with other products" What kind of defeated lives do you live? If we as the public dont begin to draw the line in the sand, how far will the line be pushed? The fact is not that Microsoft is evil, but that the propensity for evil to be done with the device exists. So we should pause and think before blindly accepting it into our homes.
Some many hypocrites, so few bubbles...

GORHAM � For the last 10 years Jean Storie has owned a horse named Fat Chance.
Together they've tackled the equestrian sport of eventing, training four to five times a week on the farm that she and her ex-husband owned and at other horse trails.
Today Storie and her boyfriend, Chris DeBrock, have transformed the Gorham farm into a horse farm they now call Fat Chance Farm.
"When I ended up with the farm myself I wanted to rename it, and that just seemed very fitting," Storie said. "He is the best horse ever."
Fat Chance Farm features riding trails and other equestrian activities. It is open for people to take lessons and to train to compete, and it's there where the couple will hold an obstacle-course fundraiser for a friend fighting cancer.
"We�ve always had trails here, but not like they are now," Storie said. "They are so much more developed now, and the focus is so much more on horse and rider."
Keeping up the farm is a lot of work, Storie said. Both she and DeBrock have full-time jobs on top of running the farm and taking care of their children. Storie works as a registered nurse at Thompson Health, and DeBrock is a heavy equipment operator for Mark Colf Excavation � and as such, he's very helpful with creating obstacles and trails for the farm, she said.
"I would say we have a handful of people to help us with chores and we couldn�t do it without the help of other people," Storie said. "There are a lot of really dedicated horse-loving people that are part of our Fat Chance Farm family."
Typically the farm only offers lessons and training, but last year on Columbus Day weekend Storie and DeBrock found reason to host a fund-raising event.
"A girlfriend of mine, Robin Brege, works with me at the hospital and was diagnosed with stage-four colon cancer last year. I was devastated, I mean we all were," Storie said. "We were trying to find ways to raise money for her because it is very financially devastating."
Storie said the event was very successful, attracting 85 riders and raising $6,500 for Brege.
Now, a year later, they are gearing up to do two back-to-back fundraisers on Saturday, Oct. 12 and Sunday, Oct. 13.
The Saturday event, a 5K Obstacle and Trail Run for runners, will again help�raise funds�for Brege.
"I never imagined that the first one would happen," Brege said. "It�s amazing the work she puts into these things. I can�t thank her enough. I really can�t."
After being diagnosed in May 2012, Brege said there was a period of about four months when she was unable to work because the chemotherapy was making her too sick. Once she went back she only had energy to work part-time, she said.
Brege had been scheduled to have surgery to remove cancerous spots on her liver at the end of September. Doctors quickly canceled the surgery after finding four cancerous lymph nodes and decided to focus on chemotherapy.
"They just started me on another cancer drug so I just hope that it doesn�t drain me to the point where it would be difficult for me working full-time, but as long as I can do it I will," Brege said.
The Sunday event is being held for Brian Moore, DeBrock's close family friend, and involves a horse trail challenge for riders. Moore, who is married�and has three children,�has been battling stage-three testicular cancer.
If you go
SATURDAY EVENT 5K Obstacle/Trail Run in the spirit of Halloween to raise funds for Robin Brege. Registration fee is $35.
SUNDAY EVENT Horse Trail Challenge for riders. Registration fee is $45.
OTHER ACTIVITIES Both fundraisers will include music, activities, a kids� corner, food and various booths, so those not interested in participating in the events can show their support while watching and enjoying other activities.
REGISTRATION Registration for both fundraisers is at 9 a.m. on the day of the event at Fat Chance Farm, 3620 Yautzy Road, Gorham.

In Professor Abbie Katz's "The Art of Calling the Show" class, theater students watch a video of the opera Einstein on the Beach and attempt to schedule the lighting and sound cues the production requires.
"It's a great opportunity for them to see the show from the audience's perspective, where it looks like not much is happening," says Katz. "Then I can fill in the gaps about the frenzy of activity backstage."
Katz should know. For the past year, she has served as the production stage manager for the international tour of Einstein on the Beach, a celebrated opera directed by Robert Wilson with music by Philip Glass.
The production stage manager is responsible for making sure the production looks and sounds the way the director and the various designers want it to: Lighting and sound changes happen when they're supposed to, and scenic elements and performers enter and exit as scheduled.
"My work with Einstein on the Beach is a wonderful, real-world experience I can bring to my students," she says.
Katz says she got the job after receiving a last-minute call to fill in on a tour that had already started. Like her students, Katz watched a video of the opera before she arrived in France with the production.
"I landed with the technical crew and had no rehearsal time," Katz says. "I just tried to stay one scene ahead."
The schedule for a touring show like Einstein on the Beach is extremely fast-paced.
"We usually have a two-week run in each city," says Katz. "We have technical run-throughs Monday through Thursday and then performances on the weekend. It was terrifying, and I felt like I was being chased downhill by a growing snowball. It took me about three cities to get all the cues under my belt."
Despite her admission of terror, Katz seems utterly unflappable about working under that kind of pressure. That may be because she has more than a decade of experience, managing more 60 productions at the American Repertory Theatre, launching two smaller theaters in the Boston area, as well as working as a free-lance producer and production stage manager.
"It's good to be able to show students that it is possible to have a life in the theater," Katz says. "Longevity in the theater involves understanding how to work as a team and serve the director's vision."
Katz will rejoin the touring production of Einstein on the Beach when it travels to Melbourne, Australia, from July 31 through Aug. 4 and Los Angeles from Oct. 11 through 13.
Touring and local IATSE crews join cast in front of part of the "Einstein on the Beach"set at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in September 2012.

TEL AVIV (Reuters) - A man apparently suffering from mental health problems stabbed a security guard at the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv on Tuesday and was apprehended, police said.
"A Mazda car stopped next to the U.S. embassy and a man got out carrying a red bag and a pitchfork," said David Cohen, 48, who told Reuters he witnessed the incident while jogging along Tel Aviv's Mediterranean promenade.
"He began to run toward the security guards. They saw him, took their guns out and told him to get down on the ground," Cohen said.
"He continued running and then they fired in the air and ordered him again to lie down. He continued to advance. They jumped on him and took his bag away."
Police said one of the guards was slightly wounded and the attacker was taken into custody.
"It appears he was mentally unbalanced," Tel Aviv police chief Yoram Ohayon told reporters.
Israel Radio said the assailant was a 41-year-old Israeli with a criminal record.

Our group works on various challenges in materials chemistry using computational methods and tools. For instance, we investigate structure and properties of amorphous ceramics and glasses. We generate random network structures of complex multicomponent systems while retaining well-defined chemical order around individual atoms. Subsequently, we compute various properties, including thermochemistry, elastic moduli, vibrational properties and NMR spectra, and compare them to experimental data (if available) or to extract information that supports and enhances experimental investigations.
Combining expertise of structure modeling with interest in quantum dots, we embed nanoclusters in glass matrices and investigate phenomena that originate from a confinement of electrons or that are dominated by interface properties. In this area, we recently started experimental studies of SiC quantum dots, developing a method to synthesize large quantities of these particles.
Another direction we pursue is high-pressure chemistry, where our curerent interest is in structural phase transitions, their mechanisms and barriers. We have some long-standing interest in new nitride compounds and their high-temperature/high-pressure phase diagrams.

Peter studied Mathematics and Physics at the Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg (Germany) and received his "Vordiplom" (equivalent to a B.Sc.) in both subjects in 1989. After a beautiful summer at the CERN, he completed his Physics-Diploma (Masters) in 1993 with a work in Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics. He moved to the Technical University of Darmstadt (Germany) into the Department of Materials Science to pursue his doctoral thesis. Under supervision of Ralf Riedel (TU Darmstadt) and David Pettifor (Oxford University) he combined experimental and computational methods to investigate silicon nitride and silicon carbonitride ceramics. In 1996 he concluded his Thesis with Distinction.
With a research stipend from the German Science Foundation he went to Cornell University to work under supervision of Roald Hoffmann as a post-doc. By him he was introduced into Chemistry, its many varieties and its beauty. In 1999, Peter moved to RWTH Aachen to set up his own research group and pursue a Habilitation. He received his "venia legendi" in Inorganic Chemistry in 2005.
Peter's work focuses on Computational Chemistry of Solid-State Materials. His major fields of research are ceramics and glasses on one side, and high-pressure chemistry on the other side. He currently investigates ultra-high temperature materials for hypersonic flight, new anode materials for Li-batteries, hard coatings of nitride materials, and has keen interest in phase diagrams of nitride compounds and in mechanisms of phase transformations. His work is currently supported by the NSF and by DARPA.

Halloween is upon us and I know people are planning parties or just getting into the spirit of the season! We will be having a Halloween party for the kids next week so I was trying to create a recipe that I think they would enjoy during it! I know my boys love marshmallows and JET-PUFFED makes some awesome cute Halloween themed ones! So I decided to create a small treat that they would all love.
Halloween Marshmallow-Topped Cocoa Cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes • Cook Time: 33 minutes • Serves: 36 cookies
1 lb sugar cookie mix
1 cup butter (margarine softened)
1 eggs
2 Tbsp cocoa (unsweetened baking)
MAKE cookie dough as directed on package, adding cocoa.
DROP dough with by tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie to ¼-inch with a greased bottomed glass.
BAKE at 375˚F for 7 to 9 minutes. Immediately top each cookie with 1 marshmallow. Return to oven; bake 2 minutes longer until marshmallow is soft. Place cookies on cooling racks to cool completely.
The boys really enjoyed these cookies. They were very easy to make so I'm going to be making these often! Probably add a twist to it for other holidays, as well. Now I have to finish figuring out what else I'm going to make for our Halloween party. Of course Kraft Foods has some awesome Halloween Recipes that I'll be sure to go through to get those ideas! They even offer a Halloween Party Kids Menu that is going to be perfect to use!

Give sugar cookie mix a surprise hit of unsweetened cocoa powder to make these Halloween marshmallow-topped treats.

Saying goodbye to New Orleans seems nearly impossible. The lingering finality of it has me filled with hopeless dread. I don't want to leave New Orleans. How will I start calling po'boys "hoagies" or "subs" or whatever dreadful thing they call them elsewhere? How will I follow speed limits without the very real fear that my entire car will be swallowed by a pothole if I go too fast? How will I avoid winter weight because I'm still carrying around that extra ten pounds from last crawfish season?...

Ford Freestar Transmission Problems
Concerning the recalled torque converter, my van is running normally right now. Last week it stalled, zputtered, and galloped home no faster than 45mph with all the idiot lights on. Upon sitting overnight, it ran normal again when i started it but the check engine light stayed on. I've read here some vans no longer run after ford replaces the converter, so i am worried about getting mine done. Should i take it in or not?? :sick:0
snoozyn Posts: 1Too bad I didn't research on Edmunds or anything else before buying Ford Freestar! My 2005 Automatic transmission just died at 158,000 miles which seemed too soon till I read worse horror stories! I DID the recall work last year on the torque converter, at a dealership. That was almost a year ago though, with lots of miles in between. I was very lucky that the forward gears died in a parking lot, not on the road. I had it towed to a transmission shop who says the radiator fluid has been leaking into the transmission & ruined it. (because it circulates through there to keep trans. fluid cool). I wonder if this is the Pump issue someone mentioned above. Anyway the transmission repair is going to cost 1200 labor + 2200 parts so 3400! Sounded crazy but I see similar numbers above. But I personally can not afford to buy another car except maybe another high mileage vehicle for $3400 which totally maxes out my finances either way. I see I should at least add to the voices complaining to Ford. This particular mechanic claims that Ford Freestars and Windstars do stay on the road for a long time with rebuilt transmission but of course they WOULD want to say, sure, fix it, it's worth it, wouldn't they; better for business, so who knows. But, I need a car ASAP so I'm going to bite the bullet and fix it rather than dive into another unknown high mileage vehicle.0
Korum Ford in Puyallup WA are bitches. Rude, inconsiderate, liars, and condescending. Against my better judgement, I took my van in for the recall work and got it back this same day. that was december fourth, today december 18 it died on the freeway going 65 Mphour. Straight cold died no power. I was barely avoided bye a semi truck and trailer. I put the van in neutral and it started again with all of the idiot lights on again. I went the van home at 35 miles per hour, with dying and bucking all the way. I called the service department and told them what was going on and all he could say was that is not the torque converter its not covered by them. when I turn my van in to get the recall work done I told my service mechanic about the issues with the wet PCM. He was interested and hadn't heard anything about it. I asked him to make sure they flushed and refill the transmission with new fluid and I would pay the extra fees if needed. He insisted that the torque converter comes full of its own fluid and the transmission work is all external but would check my fluid for parts of the old converter. when I picked up the van he told me my transmission was just fine and the fluid was not dirty. Well when I I told him that we had a discussion, that this is exactly what it edmunds.com warn me what would happen if I got the converter replaced, he caught an attitude and told me not to interrupt him while he was talking. He then told me the 3000+ complaints on edmonds.com were false and whoever told me my info was a liar. For them to take back my van, id have to pay for a tow and then $120 perhour diagnostic fee. IF they can find the problem. And they wont check the pcm for water first, they do the error codes first and all parts related to those codes would have to be bought and installed. This van is a death trap. End of story.
PS. I asked how many issues does it take for a car to be recalled. He said "oh that will never happen." I said "nice, ok so you're waiting on a death. You almost caused one last. Thanks."1

My husband and I have had the Mercury Monterrey for 2.5 years now and just got the recalled torque convertor replaced 1.5 months ago. We were driving from Michigan to San Diego for my husband to do a traveling nursing job, so we thought it was best for our transmission to be fixed. The recall fix was done and the drive to San Diego was fine. A few days ago we went to the desert here and a gear light went on, but then turned off, so we didn't worry about it. Then tonight, I was driving and the car was not excelling well and I arrived at my destination OK. However, as I was getting ready to leave, my car started, but wouldn't move in reverse or drive. Now I don't know what to do. Just buy a new car? After reading these posts, I totally regret buying this piece of junk and getting the recall fix even done. It was driving fine before. So now we are stuck in San Diego with one car, our other one is in the garage in Michigan. This is definitely the transmission right? Would Ford reimburse me for doing the recall wrong? It had to be that, I have no idea what else it would be. The van has 99,000 miles on it. I have no idea what to do.0

My 2006 Freestar SEL failed with 122,000 kilometers. Called Ford Canada to be advised I'm out of warranty (yeah knew that) - end of discussion other than my complaint was registered. My vehicle was manufactured in 2005 at the Oakland, Ontario plant. Took it to transmission shop the same day it started acting funny - was doing two little lurches forward after I came to a stop - wrench light on. From all the horror stories on here did not want to risk this "Safe Mode" experience. Mister Transmission replaced the torque converter and valve body and overhaul for $2500.00 and got a good warranty for 60,000 kms. Like everyone else here serious sticker shock - facing a 4 month layoff in two weeks. TPS light comes on everyday then goes off after a few miles. Was thinking of doing an undercarriage wash to get winter road salt off - now I'm scared to do this for fear of flooding the CPM. One other thing from the day this van was brand new always had a clunk shifting into drive or reverse. Dealer found nothing wrong. After transmission repaired that noise is totally gone - probably a dud from day one. Will take bill to dealer next week - see what happens. Previously owned 2 F350's (1 also a lemon - turbo part kept blowing). Think we'll ever see a recall on the 06 and 07's? How many years did the other ones take. Filing reports with Canada Transport and the US site as well and urge everyone to do the same so Ford can't keep pleading ignorance to the problem.0
bama79 Posts: 1My 06 Freestar transmission just went out. And since the torque converter had been damaged for so long without any knowledge of it. Now I get to buy a new one out of my family's vacation $$$. And hey kids lets skip the beach trip and put a transmission in our van!!! They didn't get excited about it either. The 04 and 05's ended up in 06 and 07's but there is no recall on the 06 or 07's. Doesn't take much to see that this is ridiculous!!! Thanx Ford this was my first Ford and defiantly the last Ford I buy. Buy American buy Chevy.0
06fstarowner Posts: 1Have loved my 2006 Ford Freestar up until now, chalk up another failed transmission story to the replacement tune of $3425.00 in Mississippi. Will probably switch car companies for the next auto purchase!0

The Federal Reserve should make itself more predictable about scaling back its massive bond buying campaign, a top U.S. central banker said on Thursday, acknowledging that it had confused markets by not tapering at its meeting last week.
Fed Governor Jeremy Stein said he would have been comfortable starting to reduce asset purchases at the September 17-18 meeting, and that the decision to keep buying at an $85 billion monthly pace had been, for him, a "close call".
Continue Reading Below
"But whether we start in September or a bit later is not in itself the key issue - the difference in the overall amount of securities we buy will be modest," he told a monetary policy conference in Frankfurt.
"What is much more important is doing everything we can to ensure that this difficult transition is implemented in as transparent and predictable a manner as possible. On this front, I think it is safe to say that there may be room for improvement," he said in prepared remarks.
The Fed's decision to stand pat on bond buying stunned financial markets, which had anticipated it would begin to slowly reduce the program, signaling the beginning of the end to an unprecedented five years of ultra-easy monetary policy.
The Fed explained by pointing to the disappointing performance of the U.S. economy in the second half of 2013, while also noting the headwinds from restrictive U.S. fiscal policy. These could worsen as leaders in Washington fight over a deal to keep the government funded and lift the U.S. debt limit.
Investors are now focused on Fed meetings in October and December, although some economists say the central bank could hold fire until 2014 to make sure the U.S. economy has decisively regained cruising speed.
Stein, who has talked about the risk of Fed bond buying leading to asset bubbles, said that one way to reduce uncertainty and accompanying market volatility would be to link future tapering directly to economic data.
"My personal preference would be to make future step-downs a completely deterministic function of a labor market indicator, such as the unemployment rate or cumulative payroll growth over some period," Stein said. "For example, one could cut monthly purchases by a set amount for each further 10 basis point decline in the unemployment rate."

There is a conference?!?! I am going to the health semiar tomorrow at the puyallup one that my trainer is doing with the Fitness Manager Ernest. But did know there were conferences. I would like to meet up with you too, but I don't have a license so planning things like meeting up with someone isn't easy.
Tiara: I had too many things I was talking about at once. I was speaking of the Faithwriters Conference. I'd love to come your way. I must tell you though, I am directionally challenged (my husband says I'm directionally dysfunctional) but I'm willing to try. We'll continue this conversation another time as I need to get ready for Sunday School and Church. blessings... laura

Conference Tournament Primer: Horizon LeaguePosted by Tommy Lemoine on March 4th, 2014
Championship Fortnight is under way, and what better way to get you through the next two weeks of games than to break down each of the Other 26′s conference tournaments as they get started. Today, the Horizon League and Atlantic Sun tip things off.
Dates: March 4, 7, 8, 11
Site: First Round: Campus sites; Quarterfinals and Semifinals: Resch Center (Green Bay, WI); Championship: Campus site (higher-seeded team hosts)
What to expect: Green Bay was far and away the best team in the regular season, amassing a 24-5 overall record and notching a high-profile non-conference victory over ACC regular season champion Virginia. Led by 7'1'' center Alec Brown — an NBA prospect with an outside shot — and high-flying point guard Keifer Sykes, the Phoenix should take care of business on their home floor. Brian Wardle's bunch has been playing some of its best basketball of the season since losing to Milwaukee in early February, securing four its final five wins on the road and dominating opponents by more than 15 points per contest. Still, watch out for Cleveland State and its lights-out three-point shooting — fourth-best in the country at 40.8 percent — as well as defending champion Valparaiso; the Crusaders took down Green Bay earlier in the year. The top seed stumbling at home is not unprecedented for this tournament, but seems unlikely this time around.
Favorite: Green Bay. The team is confident, talented and playing at home. Put simply, anything short of a championship would be hugely disappointing for the Phoenix.

Social clubs are, largely, things of the past. In decades past, social clubs served as swanky places where wealthy socialites, especially men, went to smoke, have a few drink, mingle and take a break from work or family life.

If you are hosting an upscale party and want your home or office to have that mid-century modern furniture look and feel, then look no farther than EZ Mod Furniture's Taft Microfiber Club Chair.

Honor Flights vets visit National World War II MemorialBy MARK HAYWARD
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 16. 2014 10:41PM
Twenty-three World War II veterans got to visit the National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., this past weekend, the first of six Honor Flights to fly out of New England this year.
The all-day trip, which is totally free for veterans, included visits to war memorials in the nation's capital, meals, and a chance for aging veterans to feel the appreciation of generations who are alive today because of them.
The New Hampshire Patriot Guard riders escorted buses to the Manchester-Boston Regional Airport. In Washington, Park Police zipped the Honor Flight bus through traffic jams. And in airports veterans were met with applause by strangers.
The typical comment that Honor Flight volunteers hear is how the veterans appreciated the respect they got from strangers, said Joe Byron, a former Manchester police officer who founded the organization.
"They don't expect any of that. They think we've forgotten," Byron said.
Honor Flight New England started in 2009, and Sunday's flight marked the 31st of the organization, Byron said. More than 900 New England veterans have been flown to Washington to see war memorials.
Most are World War II veterans, and the travelers have included 39 women, 19 sets of brothers, ailing and disabled veterans, and several who have fought in three wars.
Priority is given to World War II veterans and veterans from later wars who are suffering a terminal disease.
Bedford resident Leonard Provencher, 91, who fought in the Army's 36th division, was in the Sunday group.
"It was a perfect group. It was well organized. It was beyond expectation," Provencher said. He had never been to the National World War II Memorial, which he said was one of the highlights of the trip.
It had its sad moments, he said. One poignant part was a view of where 9-11 terrorist struck the Pentagon, he said.
Sunday's flight was the first of the season. The veterans were notified in January, and so they had to endure the winter before taking the trip, Byron said.
Guardians accompanied most of the veterans, so 52 people flew in total. The next flight, scheduled for May 18, is a charter flight out of Boston.
The next Manchester flight is June 15, Father's Day. For more information, visit www.honorflightnewengland.org.

Application Identifies Cost-Effective Solutions for Digital Cinema Conversion
LAS VEGAS, NV, MARCH 15, 2010 — Harkness Screens, the world's leading manufacturer of projection screens for cinema applications, will showcase its Digital Screen Selector at ShoWest 2010 (Booth 1814).
Intended as an aid to theatre operators seeking to optimise their investment in digital cinema, the Digital Screen Selector can help to:
•Reduce operating costs for 2D
•Optimise light levels for both 2D and 3D
The Digital Screen Selector is available through the Harkness web-site; it has a user-friendly interface with no software download required and uses industry-accepted standards and vendor data to compare different operating scenarios. The Selector is intended to be a guide for theatre operators when consulting with projector, lamp, and 3D technology providers.
"We are very pleased to be able to offer our new Digital Screen Selector to cinema professionals around the world," says Andrew Robinson, managing director of Harkness Screens. "By answering a few quick questions about the screen size and equipment being used in a particular theatre, the Selector suggests Harkness screen options to optimise performance and cost."
Harkness' Perlux® gain screens reduce digital cinema projector brightness requirements significantly relative to matt white screens, enabling the use of smaller lamps that are cheaper, last longer, consume less power, roughly halving operating costs. Additionally, if the screen is considered at the same time as the projector investment, a smaller (and cheaper) projector can be an option.
For new builds and digital retrofits, a Perlux® screen can pay for itself in under a year. For existing digital installations, a Perlux® replacement screen can pay for itself in just two years. Additionally, replacement screen implementations can be self-funding, and deployment models can be prepared for the customer by a Harkness representative.
Gain screens can also be a "green" investment because they can help reduce theater energy consumption, and can help exhibitors meet building codes for energy efficiency.
"We are committed to the trend in digital cinema and will continue to develop our products to optimize this application," adds Robinson.
About Harkness Screens
Harkness Screens is the world's leading manufacturer of large screens. Thousands of screens are supplied every year for cinema, film production, special effects, live events and custom AV applications.
