dishwasher detergent
Have never been a "brand name" buyer and have been satisfied with store brands untiil recently?? Clear, glass & plastic stuff is just NOT coming out CLEAN? It's kinda "clean" but seems to have a coating on it. Dishwasher or detergent problem??
What brand do you use and SWEAR by for great results?
re: Enigma3
The laws about not using it in dishwasher detergent are there for a reason. I don't think any states completely prohibit phosphates because they are very useful for lead paint remediation. Now thanks to your advice millions of housewifes will circumvent environmental regulations, forcing state legislatures to outright ban TSP to save our waterways, thus reducing the incentive to fix lead paint problems, leading to more children becoming lead poisoned. See what you've done!?
Just kidding!
re: Fin De Fichier
Detergents containing phosphates have only been banned for consumer products. To my knowledge, none of the 16 states banned it for commercial dish and laundry products.
Clearly, we (home cooks) need better lobbyists.
re: DuffyH
I used to be still able to get it at Home Depot, but now they only have an artificial version.
re: coll
I did some experimenting last year, hoping to reduce aluminum loss in my clad stainless pans. I tried Bubble Bandit, but my dishes were just meh. Not as shiny as I was used to with the Quantum, and that goes for pans, too.
A blogger (http://jillcataldo.com/phosphatedeter...) likes the old Cascade a lot. I didn't try it.
As for me, I had to replace my pans when I installed my induction range, and chose to go with disk bottom pans with a nice thick disk for my saucepans. I can toss them in the Bosch when I want to, there's no exposed aluminum for the Quantum to eat, all of my stuff sparkles again. I'm a happy camper.
re: DuffyH
I always used Cascade, since the 1970s, but it's just not the same anymore.
re: DuffyH
I only use the dishwasher when I have company mostly, so it would take a LONG time to go through it. I just threw out a BJs size bottle because it was getting old and starting to crust up, so that's something I have to consider too.
I used to sell restaurant soap but 5 gallon tubs were the norm. I wonder who's buying such little bottles, besides homeowners? And I wonder why Finish comes out so sparkly clean, what is their secret?
I use the Finish tabs with rinse aid included; it's the brand recommended by my dishwasher's manufacturer. They're not inexpensive compared to bargain or store brands, but easy as can be to use and get the dishes and glassware clean every time.
re: Caitlin McGrath
^What Caitlin McGrath said.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I stock up on the Finish tabs when they go on sale and there are frequently coupons for them in the Sunday paper too.
They wee recommended, and a sample was provided, when I got my new DW a couple of years ago. I've been very happy with the results.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I use the Finish tabs too. They sell them at Costco and the price is pretty good.
re: valerie
I stock up on them when CostCo has them on sale. Weirdly, I had a tiny leak from the DW when I used Cascade tablets--called the repair service guy, and he said ONLY Finish--never any leakage with them. Doesn't make sense, but I'll stick to Finish. Altho' I still use the liquid Jet Dry, even tho' the Finish supposedly has a drying aid.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I also find the inside of my dishwasher seems cleaner with the Finish.
re: CanadaGirl
I was using my dishwasher as storage space because it wasn't able to get the dishes clean, then I read about Finish here. I got the Quantum tablets. Whoa boy, not only clean but unbelievably shiny. The shine even lasts after a few handwashings....I don't know what it is and I don't want to find out. I am so happy I can use my relatively new Kitchenaid dishwasher as intended finally.
Could be both. . .
I use the Kirkland gel kind, the Costco brand. It works well most of the time with my almost 2 year old Bosch dishwasher, the only time I'm not thrilled is if the rinse aide is empty, or I try to stuff too much in it. My biggest problem is when I stuff the top rack full of plastic containers. They just need some space I've found.
We used to have a Kenmore in this house, and we just had issues with it cleaning well at all. I wasn't too upset when the motor died. Mr Autumn (after grumbling about buying yet ANOTHER dishwasher) was impressed with how clean stuff was suddenly.
re: kseiverd
Is it possible that your glassware etc. has been gradually becoming less clear over time and it has only recently become noticible? Would a brand new glass come out clouded after just one wash?
re: kseiverd
Same issue we had before switching detergents. My Dad also ahd this issue with his Bosch. Switched from powder and the issue cleared up.
re: kseiverd
You might also try my monthly "trick"--pour about 2 cups of white vinegar in the floor of the DW. Let it sit 'bout 1/2 hour, then run at least the rinse cycle. It'll smell yucky for a day or so, but helps to clear out any grunge that might have collected. A repair guy said doing this should extend the life of the DW.
re: pine time
I just had my repair guy (he works for the local electric company, so he has no reason to mislead me) and he said the exact same thing. The vinegar, he said, works better than any of the dishwasher cleaners.
re: pine time
I have started pouring a big glug of vinegar into the bottom of the machine before running it, and also using it in the rinse dispenser. It's a great sanitizer.
re: PegS
they are "mandatory" because newer machines use less and less water for rinse cycles, so the so-called "rinse aids" have to be there to disguise the fact that the machine really isn't rinsing
kinda hilarious, isn't it
capitalism and environmental regulation: working together...as they said in twin peaks: "health and industry go hand in hand!"
I use Cascade Complete and have no problems. For what ever reason, I've had no luck with powder and the newer dishwashers. Even using a rinse agent.
re: mike0989
We use the Cascade Complete (tabs in our case) and have been doing so for I think about 4 years now. We have them on subscribe and save from Amazon and basically haven't given a thought to dishwasher stuff for about 4 years until I read this thread. It's got a rinse aid built in.
I use one dollar store powder tab AND one discount store gel tab per load.
Works excellently.
However, if I have a coupon and find a sale, I prefer to use Finish gel tabs.
Could be a dishwasher problem.
1-Pull out the bottom rack and look all around the bottom of the dishwasher - I've found nasty chunks of food inside mine and you may too.
2-Clean both sides where the door meets the body of the washer. Mine gets gross after a month or so, but wipes clean easily.
3-I use a commercial dishwasher cleaner about twice a year - I've got the 2nd of a Cascade twin pack in my cabinet - and will use it when I next notice a film on my dishes or the walls of the dishwasher.
Could be a detergent problem.
I don't *swear* by Cascade Complete powder in the big box at Wal-Mart, but that's what I use. I fill the main compartment, the pre-wash compartment, and use the high temp option on my dishwasher.
re: AreBe
Inside shows nothing serious or gross. That place where door hinges at bottom does get gorss on a fairly regular basis... and thing that has fallen off dishes or outta of glasses gets deposited right there as you shut the door... gets cleaned on a regular basis.
Gonna try Finish and/or Cascade... which ever has best price... and see if that makes a difference.
when this happened to me, i found out that the problem was that the motor of my dishwasher was conking (sp?) out.
when it finally, completely bit the dust and i had the motor replaced, all the glassware came out perfectly again with no change in detergent.
thankfully i had a home warranty that covered appliances. . . .
My preference is for NatureClean or other ecologic brand. Powder or gel, bulk. The bulk aspect allows me to moderate the amount of detergent I use, to suit the conditions of our water (i.e., it's pretty soft), and the degree of loading in the DW.
As for the OP situation, what is the "coating"... is it greasy, gritty... or moreso, opaque? If the former, then there could be an issue with water temp. Perhaps time to drain/flush the hot water heater, or check the thermostat. Another cause of DW angst for me was when the pump was malfuctioning.
I'm having the problem with stuff sticking to the silverware especially. It's this bizarre bumpy hard coating that I have to scrub off with a scrubber. For awhile I was washing all silverware by hand because if it.
We've been using Kirkland brand ( Costco) DW detergent for years, never had a problem until we moved into this house with a new dishwasher. My husband thinks it's the heated wash cycle. I don't know, he is the ones that starts it 90% of the time. Our dishes are not generally very dirty anyway as I rinse before loading.
re: rasputina
We use a lot of Kirkland products, but the Kirkland DW liquid does not work well in our dishwasher. We normally buy the Cascade Complete from Costco, but last week, they had the Finish Powerball tablets on sale, so I bought a box of those to try as I've heard good things about them.
re: boogiebaby
I tried the cascade complete before, but we were in our old house. I bought the Finish powerball tablets today at Costco since they seem to be popular on this thread. Hopefully that helps our issues with the silverware.
Let me know how you l like them once you try them out. I probably won't run a load until tomorrow at the earliest.
re: rasputina
Finish is working well for us so far. Although there have been issues with empty papers without cleaner tab in the box I got from Costco.
re: pedalfaster
Interesting about your plonk of vinegar (I am so stealing "plonk")--I wrote, above, about a pour of vinegar maybe 1x/mo. Does your regular use boost the dish cleaning, or help keep the DW itself clean/de-gunked?
re: pine time
We have to be careful using the word "plonk"; in Brit-speak I think it refers to cheap wine (thank-you internet!). Perhaps "splosh"?
I have found that white vinegar keeps the white "haze" off of my glassware. I found this out by "accident" when I ran out of Jet Dri one day. Never went back to the commercial product.
re: pedalfaster
The wine reference is exactly why I want to use plonk (i.e., wine akin to vinegar) in other ways! :)
re: pine time
A dishwasher repair guy told me to use vinegar in every load, because I have hard water. He said to use a custard cup (or similar container) on the top rack, and fill it with vinegar. No white spots whatsoever!
Don't just pour the vinegar in the machine before starting--the cup method allows the vinegar to gradually disperse throughout the whole wash/rinse process.
re: sparrowgrass
Love this tip sparrowgrass!
Will try adding the vinegar in a ramekin (hey, it needs to be washed anyway!) when I do my next load.
re: sparrowgrass
That's a great tip. If I start having issues with my glassware I'll try that.
re: kseiverd
Just put one in the main/first wash compartment, and see how it does. We have only ever used one, with excellent results. Especially with more water-efficient dishwashers, sometimes it's more effective to use less detergent.
Etching on glassware is caused by using too much detergent. It won't rub off or get better with time. Newer, more efficient dishwashers need less soap than the old ones. I was filling the little cup n the door, but after the glassware all got etched I, um, read the manual and discovered that the manufacturer recommended 2 teaspoons. (In my defense, the problem may actually have started after we put in a water softener.) Now I use those little packet thingies. The Finish is good, but I also like Seventh Generation.
Also, if you have a water softener, you might want to check that it has salt and is working correctly. We had a minor water softener issue at our new house that gummed up the dishwasher for a while.
re: AbijahL
<Etching on glassware is caused by using too much detergent.>
Hard water is also nasty for glasses. Using less detergent won't help that.
re: AbijahL
Good call on the water softener. My parents dishwasher was leaving a very hard to remove glaze on the silverware and glasses. Turned out the water softener was jammed - some black rubber crud from the water line to the house had stopped the machine from cycling properly. This happened twice in a few months. Once fixed the dishes have been coming out fine.
I find that I get the dreaded film when there is too much soap used and / or not enough food left on the dishes. According too the dishwasher installation guy, the enzymes in the detergent need something to dissolve. And make sure the rinse aid is not low.
The best thing to remove the film is lemon juice... I save the lemon rinds and run them around glasses that are starting to get filmy and the come out great, seems to work better than vinegar.
re: firecooked
That's clever lie, but I can't blame them for telling it.
The truth is a little food serves as a pH buffer...and therefore, in fact what it is actually doing is helping to form an impromptu soap. If the glasses were completely clean when you put them in the DW, this alkali would just attack the glass and cause the so-called etching.
re: Fin De Fichier
We have a good a-b test. When I am home alone and doing dishes with minimal pre-rinse and not much detergent, the dishes get cleaner are much less likely to have a film form than when DH is home and pre-washes everything and uses a medium level of soap.
re: firecooked
I recently read an article that was exactly about this: something about DW detergents "need" to have bits of food on the dishes and won't do as good a job on overly pre-rinsed dishes. Maybe somebody else recalls the article or the science behind that?
So many internet discussion forums, so many people expressing woes with dishwashers and dishwasher detergents. I've been wondering where I should post my big essay on the topic. Might as well be here.
Bona fides: BS degree, major in bio, minor in chem.
worked for a wet research lab for about a year after graduation, doing, among other things, lab glass cleaning.
Washing your dishes is kind of like what goes on in the kitchen of restaurants...the powers that be don't really want you to know too much about what's happening, lest you worry your pretty little head. Increasingly, dishwasher and d.w. detergent manufacturers are trying to accomplish the impossible: get your dishes sparkling clean using only a few gallons of water.
Here's a big shocker. Please...those of you who are faint of heart or prone to palpitations, please seat yourself if using a mobile device, or take your heart medication now. You may never have seen truly clean glass in your life. Laboratory glass has to be truly clean. This means all that is there is the glass, and the air in the room. Not even any ions stuck to the glass are permitted. There are dedicated lab washers these days; back in the late 90s we used a top of the line domestic/light commercial model (KitchenAid IIRC) that went through 3 cycles. Yes, 3 whole cycles. With a small amount of acid added to the end of the 2nd cycle, and a valve switched for the 3rd cycle which started running the machine on totally deionized water. (it still ran on softened water for the first 2) I suppose having to do this left me a bit OC when it comes to dish cleaning. In my kitchen, I somewhat replicate this process. Water is extremely cheap and plentiful where i live. Most of the time there's too much of it around, in fact. I reuse dishes if they only had dry food on them. I mainly drink water so I don't go through many glasses. So I don't feel bad about what I do at all, in fact, my town's water administrator once questioned me about why I use so little water! He had to explain why he updated my meter to a brand new digital one! I run my machine twice a week at most. But for many of your, truly clean glass will not be a realistic objective. So, now that we've gotten that out of the way...
Basically, I see more and more of this kind of thread on the internet. I suspect manufacturers are just slowly cheapening their formulas, to do the old upsell maneuver, to try to force you into a more expensive product. Even with phosphates being banned, it really shouldn't be too hard to get dishes cleaned.
Here are some key things to understand:
1) your incoming water chemistry makes a huge difference. If you have hard, non-municipal water, you will have to use more detergent. If you have municipal water, that right there means the pH is adjusted to well above 7 (prevents pipe corrision) so you need less detergent because the primary thing is does is mild saponification by alkalinity. But, if you have too much alkalinity, you can get the dreaded etching.
2) that being said, the etching problem is actually more complicated than that...involving other aspects of the water chemistry such as the total ionic concentration, nature of ions present, etc., so complicated in fact I can't even go into it. If you have the problem, first try using less, then try switching to a more expensive brand.
3) you can't really formulate your own that's going to magically work as well. They have difficult to obtain non-ionic surfactants and things like sodium metasilicate in them, that generally do a good job at what they are supposed to do. You can boost a formula, though. In my process, I use Walmart's gel, but in the last few minutes of the wash cycle I add a gram or so of KOH. I've done this for years and my older machine tolerates it just fine, but I cannot under any circumstances recommend this. I'm merely pointing out that it can be done, which is different. With my water chemistry, this prevents spotting and so-called etching, however with some incoming water it could cause those problems. Like I said, this is all rather more complex than it seems at first.
4) rinse aids are funny. Yes, they make the glass look "spotless", to the unaided eye. But the reason we ran the lab machine through so many cycles is dishwashers always have a little water left in the pump well, and a tiny amount of food particles remain the final rinse water, or stuck to the glass every time a machine drains. My brother has a top of the line Bosch that gets fed softened water. He insists it is the best dishwasher in the world. However, compared to my glasses, when I look at his I discern a slightly cloudiness. For mine, I do not, even though I do not have a water softener. Of course he uses a rinse aid, I do not. They just disperse whatever is left in the water, especially ions, so well that they become hard to notice. But they are still there.
5) obviously, you can't get something for nothing. The very cheapest brands are not going to perform well. Even though if you compare the chems. in the bottom brands with those in the top brands...at the scale they purchase them you are still talking about 50 cents of raw ingredients versus 90 cents. You still have to pay the piper of capitalism and pay $3 more for the better brand instead of 40 cents more.
6) please don't add phosphates. I experimented with doing that actually, briefly, but in my water chemistry KOH does just as well as a booster. I've actually inspected the inside of the machine, and there's no sign of damage at all. However, as I said, I cannot recommend this in any sense and I'm sure for those of you with new machines, it would be considered warranty voiding. I don't fill my cup with gel, so I am probably just doing it to economize on the gel. By the time I switched from the more expensive cascade gel, I hadn't been using a full cup for ages.
7) your machine has to be clean, to clean. There's a product that costs something like 10 dollars for 2 cleanings of your dishwasher. That's hilarious because all it is is an organic acid and a bit of surfactant. You can buy a pound of citric acid on ebay that will give you 40 cleanings of a DW. My current protocol uses about a teaspoon of citric acid during the secondary cycle. (but if you have a rust coated machine, 1/3 cup will completely clean that out.) This acid rinse delivers really really clean glass. Close to lab glass clean. Every single defect in the glass becomes sparklingly evident. In fact they can look like they have a rash, or odd spotting, but that was there when they were made. You see all the surface defects that are hidden by rinse aids for most people. (and btw I've washed these glasses for years, so, no, the KOH is not dissolving them! That would require a much higher pH. But I do I use KOH instead of NaOH because it causes less glass etching than NaOH)
re: jbsiegel
+1 for Finish Quantum. Works exceptionally well.
In an effort to save money, we recently picked up a box of Cascade Extra Action at Sam's. It's got Dawn and a rinse aid, so I had high hopes it might replace the spendy Finish Quantum we've been using (and that Bosch recommends) since it first came out.
I'm sad to say it's giving us no joy. Dishes are coming out, not cloudy or hazy or dull, as I'd worried about, but they're simply not clean. Bits and smears of food are being left on them. And I'm one who rinses dishes first. Not completely clean, but enough to make sure there's nothing stuck on.
So it's back to the Quantum for me.
re: DuffyH
I will never go back the Cascade. They used to be top of the line but now they're bottom of the heap.
re: coll
IME, yes, but to be fair, I haven't tried Cascade Complete ActionPacs, which CR rated tops. Still, the next 3 were Finish products, including Quantum, and they all cost less than the Cascade. But...I'm not giving a lot credence to CR's rankings for dishwasher detergent.
The Cascade I bought at Sam's appears to be identical to Cascade With Dawn ActionPacs. CR ranked that product just 1 point below Quantum, which is utter hogwash. It is nowhere near as good. As I noted above, it didn't clean the dishes, leaving smears of food on them.
re: DuffyH
Speaking of Dawn dishwashing liquid, has anyone noticed how poorly it cleans now? I see they replaced the TSP with alcohol, but I scrub and scrub and cannot get the smears off the glasses unless I hand dry afterwards. Maybe I'll go back to Ajax and see how they're doing in that department.
re: coll
I only use Dawn as a laundry spot treatment. I switched to Ajax after I got tired of Dawn stinking up my sponges. Since the switch? Smell's gone.
Still, Dawn is an excellent spot treatment, and costs a fraction of what I was paying for Shout and the like.
re: DuffyH
I've heard great things about Dawn brand as a cleaning agent...for things other than dishes! (Cyclists use it to degrease chains for instance).
Perhaps they need to change up their marketing strategy?
re: pedalfaster

<Perhaps they need to change up their marketing strategy?>
You bet. Remember when Avon finally began marketing Skin-So-Soft as an insect repellant? We'd all been using it that way for years.

It is quite easy to spot when employees waste too much time on small talk and non-productive things.
On the other hand, it is not always noticeable when employees or even managers are overloaded with work.
What do I mean when I say overloaded?
That means, that even if they focus their assigned hours mainly on work, they minimize distraction, and they take normal acceptable breaks, they cannot accomplish their assignments in a timely manner.
The impact of being overburden for longer periods of time is increase in stress and overwhelm feelings. That leads to the individual becoming less engaged in what they need to accomplish, and possibly display a negative attitude toward their surrounding.
The first managerial thought that comes to mind is: they should manage their time better.
But, before you sign them up to take a time management class, let's consider some other alternatives.
What could indicate if they truly have too much on their plate?
Here are some red flags. Some are simply facts. Others could be a sense you have on how things are going for your employees.
It is important to understand that the more behavioral signals you observe, the stronger is your indication that it's time to review and make adjustments to handling the work load.
What Is The Personal Story?
Some of these red flags on their own are good enough of a reason to touch base with an employee one-on-one and to ask some clarifying questions. Something may be going on in their personal life that affects their productivity.
Acknowledging what they go through, while motivating them to focus on the bigger picture of the business and their career, may bring some change in their attitude and eventually in their results and in ability to contribute to the workplace.
And at the same time, if you uncover a temporary personal issue, you may want to divert some of the workload to another employee. Being perceived as a fair employer buys you loyalty points.
What if this is a bigger issue?
It's important to distinguish between having a temporary issue that requires some overtime from an ongoing phenomena, were employees feel constant
Rises and dips in incoming work volume is normal. Sometimes it could be more hectic than other times, and as a result your team may need to put in here and there some extra effort.
With that being said, when your employees' plate is time and again overflowing, it's time for an effective leader to ask:

Buffy! A Parody Play
Features:Price: $10
The 'stakes' are high in Buffy! A Parody Play, the second scripted show from Funhouse Lounge. Based on the 1992 cult classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer, about a ditzy SoCal high school teenager becoming the world's chosen vampire slayer (and the source material for Joss Whedon's cult TV show), Funhouse presents a unique take on the classic story. Full of comedy, dance sequences, a rocking soundtrack, pop culture shticks, and even a glimmering Twilight gag, it will be interesting to see how the show takes on the role reversal (kick-ass damsel saves boy in distress) and straight faced-comedy of the original movie.

Surprise encounters can add spice to hiking in our national parks. Consider this one, for example. Last August I was hiking the Hidden Falls Trail on the far side of Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park when I bumped into my old friend Tommy.
With an eye on improving the safety of hikers heading to the top of Half Dome, Yosemite National Park officials are proposing to reduce the number of daily permits from 400 to 300, according to a proposed management plan.
The Half Dome Trail Stewardship Plan Draft Environmental Assessment, now open for public review through March 15, says limiting the daily allotment to 300 "provides the best c
Editor's note: With nearly 400 units of the National Park System, one probably is close enough for you to visit in a day. But how should you organize those visits?

More transparency is needed from the National Park Foundation in the agreements it reaches with corporate partners, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility said Tuesday.

Droid Turbo Review - a week later.....
Droid Turbo XT1254 Review- a week later.....
01.jpg 46.39K 19 downloads
I've had the device for almost a week now, so it's a good time to give my views on the Droid Turbo for Verizon. Being a Droid generally brings some clout and this device is no exception. There are a couple drawbacks, but in all, I feel positive about the Turbo. So without wasting time, here we go.
When the device showed up, I was taken aback by the size of the box. It was bigger than previous Droids in depth. Upon opening it up and taking the phone out, it was fairly obvious why – the Turbo charger is included with this handset. That's a $35 item in itself and I was happy to see that included. Anyway, picking up the handset, it has a definite "feel". The best word I have is a "robust" feeling. It makes me feel like I could take it and pound nails with the thing. It's not extremely heavy, 176 grams, although it does weigh in a bit more than the G3 (149g), M8 (160g) or S5 (145g). I purchased the Ballistic Nylon back and it has a good grip feel to it. I don't fear dropping it because with that "robust" feel, I know what the device is doing in my hand, so if it's slipping, I'm aware. The "bill" at the bottom that some have commented is ugly, really isn't all that bad. For me, I can't seem to navigate anything that far down graciously, so the blank area doesn't concern me. It does have a rubberized coating, and I think that adds to the "presence" of the device in the hand.
03.jpg 59.58K 16 downloads
The Turbo has the 5.2" 1440p Quad HD Display 2560x1440 Amoled 565ppi behind a Corning Gorilla Glass 3. It is nothing more than beautiful. It is very crisp, clear and easy on the eyes. After having a Samsung S5 in my mix, this display is better to me. For my viewing, the S5 display is overbearing. It gives me a headache if I stare at it too long in just a little off lighting. The Turbo display has a good tone for me. Now, everyone's eyes are different, so, you'll have to compare them yourselves in order to judge, but, I don't think you would be disappointed in this one. I've heard complaints about not enough brightness, but I don't find that a problem. In auto brightness mode, many of the current devices will gauge the auto part with where you set the manual brightness as the high end and perhaps, this is what people are seeing? IDK, you be the judge. I am able to see this outside in daylight with little effort. One thing for me, living in the Northwest, is I fight the rain. Using a smartphone in the rain is the pits. The G3 is unbearable, clicking everywhere at the slightest wet. The M8 wasn't much better. The Turbo is GREAT in the rain. Unless it is getting completely covered, you still have functionality without the random screen clicks. The Turbo gets a BIG thumbs up from me here. Oh, buttons, yeah, they are capacitive…. It's one of those things that bother some and not others. Like I mentioned, I don't seem to be able to navigate very well in the lower regions, so not having screen in that area doesn't bother me. It does use real estate, but if you look at the M8, it has a ton used top and bottom of the device.
Typical Droid styling with Moto X flair is how I would describe floating around the OS. It is still 4.4.4, so no Lollipop action yet (and I would not expect it until a bit after the New Year). Not as heavily choked with bloat as some previous Droid models, but it does have its share. Active notifications is one big hit. Being able to see important notifications without having to pick up the device is always handy and a battery saver as well. The typical addition of a Droid centerpiece widget on the Turbo is called the Command Center. It has obviously the clock, weather, events and battery meter. A tap to the side of the command center will open "wings" to display a little more of the same info as well as play a nice vibration in your hand- yeehaw ! The rest is your basic Moto skin, tiled quick settings, etc. You will notice that there is little to no delay in anything you do. Sporting the Snapdragon 805 CPU at 2.7Ghz and an Andreno 420 GPU, you fly through just about everything. Now, I am no gamer, wish I had the time, but it seems to handle some of the things I tested out quite well. I install Epic Citadel and have to say the result was impressive for me. There was little linearization in the images as they transformed across the screen. My resulting FPS on Ultra High Res was 52.2 FPS @ 2560x1440. Not too shabby.

The front facing stereo speakers pack a light punch. Having the speaker on the front has advantages and disadvantages, but they balanced it fairly well. The biggest downfall is that the speakers are only in a left/right orientation in portrait mode. Put the device into landscape and listen to a stereo video and the flow is up and down. A little disheartening…..
The Turbo sports a hefty 3900mah Battery – unfortunately, it needs it for the display. I have been going 16-17 hrs on time with appx 4hrs of screen on and ending with between 30-40%. While that's nothing to cry over, it's definitely not where the specs put it and from what I am told, not any better than the Droid Maxx. For me, I charge every night, so this will obviously suit me. I can see making most domestic flights playing on the Turbo the entire time without issue.
The rear camera on the Turbo is a 21MP (5248 x 3936), autofocus, dual-LED flash. Default the image is set to a widescreen 15.5MP in a 16x9 ratio just to fill the display 100%. To get to 21MP you need to change it to the standard 4:3 ratio. All I have to say is wow. So far the images I have taken are crisp and colors are very close to true. I am no photographer, so don't judge my skills : )
04.jpg 68.41K 15 downloads
One thing that bugged me right away was the fact that I couldn't get my mUSB storage device to mount. KitKat's inability to read exFat and NTFS has been left unaltered in the Turbo. This is something that can easily be adjusted with root privileges, but, guess what…… we have none. So, I have had to resort to reformatting my drive to FAT32 to regain the use. Not a huge deal, but, come on, it's just a silly MS licensing thing…..
Advanced Calling- don't have it. I have had the privilege of previewing the next software build that has the ability put in, but I cannot get VZW to turn it on for my acct. That said, out of the box, you will not have the ability to talk and use mobile data simultaneously. For me, no big deal, but many use this feature and it is a big let down immediately. It will be fixed when the new build is OTA'd but until then, be forewarned.
and, that's it for quirks really. Nothing else had caught my attention enough to be worthy of mentioning. By this point, you have got to know there is no SD card support. Not a huge deal in my mind, some have big issues with it, but your call.
BIG Plus-
One thing I was not aware of until after picking the unit up is the screen warranty. Believe it or not, Moto will replace a damaged display for free once within the first 24 months ! This is huge IMO. Especially in the first few months after release in that replacement displays are hard to find and generally fairly costly. And, with the newer devices, they tend to be a bit more difficult to replace on your own.
In the end, the question being, will I keep this device? Heck yeah. It's worth the desk space….

Nexus Player Pre-Orders Ship
Capture.PNG 433.14K 7 downloads
Nexus Player pre-orders have begun to ship. This is a little earlier than anticipated based on their original estimate of November 17th I believe it was. Not surprising however given that the OS image had dropped earlier this week. There was concern right after it's announcement that there would be delays due to failure to get FCC approval, but that was fixed up rather quickly.
If you were one of us that put your order in on the pre-order release, you should be seeing a shipping email soon if you haven't already. I can't wait to dig into this little device !

Future of Nursing Initiative
THURSDAY, March 10 (HealthDay News) -- The number of cancer survivors in the United States had increased to nearly 12 million by 2007, according to a report in the March 11 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
The CDC and the National Cancer Institute evaluated cancer incidence and follow-up information from nine Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results programs to estimate the number of individuals in the United States ever diagnosed with cancer who were alive on Jan. 1, 2007.
The data revealed that the number of cancer survivors increased from 9.8 million in 2001 to 11.7 million -- or 3.9 percent of the U.S. population -- in 2007. Breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers accounted for 51 percent of diagnoses among survivors. The data also revealed that an estimated 64.8 percent of cancer survivors had lived at least five years after their diagnosis of cancer and 59.5 percent of survivors were aged 65 years or older as of Jan. 1, 2007. In addition, women made up 54.3 percent of cancer survivors, and 4.7 million of all survivors received their diagnosis 10 or more years earlier.
"Because many cancer survivors live long after diagnosis and the U.S. population is aging, the number of persons living with a history of cancer is expected to continue to increase," the authors write. "Public health and health care professionals should understand the potential long-term needs of cancer survivors, engage in health promotion (e.g., urging cancer screening and smoking cessation), and ensure coordination of follow-up care for this growing population."

Hi, my sweet pies! I decided, that I should create more styling sets to inspire you! Today, I created a total look from Front Row Shop. By the way, they have a thanksgiving sale (click here).
Recently I am all about soft colors, that captures an elegant and luxuries style. It was a reason to choose a pale pink sweater and mohair longline coat . It looks so trendy and very feminine together. This color blocked heels match perfectly to the entire outfit. To bring some richness, I picked a fold over clutch in gold. For coziness, I chose a knit beanie in pink.

Keyshia Cole - Playa Cardz Right ft. 2Pac
Artist: Keyshia Cole
Featuring: Tupac
Producer: Karma Productions and Ron Fair
Album: A Different Me / Pac's Life
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 51 votes )
No matter what genre of music you listen to, you probably mentally sort your favorite artists into general categories (e.g., Clipse are coke rappers, Devin's a weed rapper, and Travis McCoy is a rock-rapper). In the same vein, Keyshia Cole is frequently classified as a "heartbreak singer," but on December 16, she plans to show audiences A Different Me. The project's first single, Playa Cardz Right, should be highly recognizable, as it was originally featured on Tupac's sixth posthumous album, Pac's Life. With Ms. Cole's vocals and Pac's words of wisdom, and a saxophone-laced beat from Karma Productions, Playa Cardz Right maintains the same appeal that it offered two years ago.

This is good news for me too.
It sounded like how he talked about Abdelkader that they are very high on him. It also sounded like they are expecting him to be pretty mean too.
He also said they are looking at free agents to fill a fighter type role which is good news to me

Add onions and garlic and saute until transparent.
Add rice and coat with melted butter and lightly toast.
Slowly add small amounts of vegetable stock, allowing rice to absorb the stock entirely before adding more.
Stir gently but continuously with a wooden spoon to keep the grains seperate.
Add bay leaf and asparagus, cook until rice is al dente and the right consistency (creamy).
Add remaining butter, 100g of parmesan and parsley and stir through.
Adjust seasoning and serve drizzled with truffle oil and the remaining parmesan.

PLAYMOBIL Around the World
A Toy Adventurer Discovers the USA
CRANBURY, N.J., March 4, 2014 -- In celebration of the brand's 40th anniversary this year, PLAYMOBIL has dispatched a PLAYMOBIL figure to embark on international sightseeing adventures as part of the "PLAYMOBIL Around the World" campaign. This special anniversary program engages fans and collectors worldwide as they host the Tim the Traveler figure, showing him around and photographing him as he discovers exciting sights in their home town or country.
The participants of this campaign are mainly members of the PLAYMOBIL Collectors Club (PCC) – an international online community for adult PLAYMOBIL enthusiasts. Approximately 150 PCC members volunteered to host the little backpacker during the brand's anniversary year. Both the toy figure and a digital camera provided by PLAYMOBIL are used by fans for a short period of time before they are passed along to the next fan volunteer, allowing Tim to visit as many places as possible.

Mezco Announces Special The Living Dead Dolls For Video Participants
February 2014 - New York - As part of Mezco Toyz's yearlong celebration of the Sweet 16th Anniversary of the Living Dead Dolls, Mezco invited fans of the Living Dead Dolls to submit their own videos, talking about how the Living Dead Dolls have touched their lives.
Now Mezco has announced that a special run of 52 exclusive Living Dead Dolls, not sold in stores, will be given to 52 video participants selected by Mezco's Secret Cabal Of Judges. One factor of the judging process will be the number of views and the number of likes a video receives, but that will not be the deciding point, as the Secret Cabal Of judges acts in mysteries ways that cannot be fully understood by mere mortals.
Each week, Mezco will be posting a new video, made by a fan, talking about how the Living Dead Dolls have touched their lives. Some stories will be inspirational, others amusing, some heartwarming, some scary, but most importantly, all of them great!

MusicMatch to support iPod after iTunes for Windows debuts
"A MusicMatch spokeswoman said it was unclear how the Windows version of Apple's online music store would affect its relationship with the Mac maker.
'We were partners (with Apple) but always expected we would one day be competitors once they launched the iTunes download service,' a MusicMatch spokeswoman said. 'MusicMatch jukebox will continue to support iPod, but it's up to Apple to decide if they'll ship iPod with MusicMatch jukebox. It's totally in their hands at this point.'"

'Miracle' parade kicks off shopping season in Littleton
The Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce has chosen the theme of "Miracle on Main Street" for this year's Christmas Parade. (File Photo)
LITTLETON - Littleton's 26th annual Christmas Parade theme "Miracle on Main Street" kicks off the shopping season on Friday, Nov. 23 at noon.
Participation in the parade is free, and all organizations are encouraged to enter. The parade is part of the annual Christmas Celebration produced by the Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce.
"Main Street is looking better than ever, and is full of new businesses as well as favorites that have been around for generations. There's a great time to be had, great food to be served, and unique shops to be shopped," said Chad Stearns, executive director of the chamber. "Downtown Littleton has come a long way over the past few years, and it is very exciting to be able to present it in such an elegant manner."
Children can meet Santa Claus immediately after the parade at the Littleton Opera House. Santa will share Christmas stories with his guests, and will have goodies to hand out to all the boys and girls. Children can have their picture taken with Santa and tell him what they would like for Christmas.
Children will be able to work at different play stations decorating cookies, writing letters to Santa and creating candy cane decorations.
This year's parade is supported by corporate sponsor the Littleton Coin Company and supporting sponsors the Littleton Diner, C & S Auto & Truck Parts, Morrison Assisted Living and Skilled Nursing Care, Casella, Littleton Chevrolet and Crosstown Motors.
The Littleton Area Chamber of Commerce is a nonprofit organization that strives to work with both members and the community on social and economic development.

Wireless Mixer
The MA-909 wireless mixer combines the convenience of a small PA system with the power of a conventional wired sound system, providing flexibility that was simply not available before. Ideal interface for existing in-wall school audio systems giving the school audio market the flexibility and performance they need. The MA-909 is the perfect solution for many audio applications requiring flexibility, convenience and performance with excellent acoustic results.
The MA-909 is a breakthrough in the traditional designing concept of wireless PA systems. This new integrated high-fidelity wireless interlinking amplifier system separates the control mixer from any amplified speaker system unlike the traditional concept of portable "all-in-one" wireless amplifier which consists of CD/cassette players, wireless receiver, and control mixer inside the speaker cabinet. The mixed audio signals from the MA-909 can be transmitted wirelessly to inter-linking receiver modules installed in one or more remote active speaker systems, thus allowing the mixer to be set up in any desired location without the need for bulky and inconvenient connecting cables.

If flowers stopped growing, bees would have no way to make honey and little girls at weddings would walk down the aisle tossing handfuls of tree bark. Smell the roses with this Groupon.

Field of Flowers
Some of Donn F. Flipse's earliest memories are of him wielding a broom, sweeping up the fallen petals and snipped-off stamen that have gathered around the feet of the floral designers at his family's flower shop. Eight-year-old Donn eventually moved up in rank, escorting arrangements to their destinations in the delivery truck as soon as he got his license. When he graduated college, he almost turned his back on the flower business his father and his grandfather built, but after mentoring under one of the shop's floral designers, he realized, "It was in his blood." In 1990, he opened Field of Flowers in Davie.
The rose, he says, continues to be the most popular flower, although different breeds take the crown every so often—the current favorite is the garden rose, a throwback blossom like what might flourish in a well-tended backyard. Donn's favorites are the rose-like lisanthius and the Canterbury bells, which look delicate but are sturdy and long lasting, much like a quarterback who takes ballet classes.
Field of Flower's team of designers compose striking arrangements using popular flowers as well as rare blooms such as orchids or birds of paradise. The team also crafts design pieces for celebrations, with past creations including a french poodle sculpted from flowers and a Spongebob Squarepants–themed arrangements in which blue gel simulated the ocean, submerging plants in an under-the-sea wonderland.

I've been adopted by a nice girl named Anna!
Hi ! My name is Luke. I am a super sweet, gentle and loving neutered boy.
I had a rough start , but now I am doing great! I arrived at the Sonoma County shelter, as a stray. I was really skinny, dirty, matted and had a terrible case of ear mites. Plus, my back leg is permanently injured and so I hold it up all the time. Sadly, someone clearly had neglected me.
However, I responded really well to medication, lots of love and time to heal. I am now happy, healthy, neutered and hop around best I can to play.
I never lost my faith in people either, so I am a REALLY nice rabbit!
