A TEENAGE girl has died after jumping from a multi-storey car park.
The 17-year-old was the fifth person in five years to die after falling from the top of Accrington's Arndale Centre.
Just hours later a 33-year-old woman also threatened to jump from a ledge at the car park and was talked down by police officers.
Calls have now been made for safety measures to be brought in at the shopping centre to prevent any further tragedies.
Police were called to the scene at around 10am yesterday after receiving reports of a 'young female' on the top of the car park.
The area around Union Street was closed to cars and pedestrians and shops and offices shut while police talked to the Oswaldtwistle teenager, who has not been named.
A police spokesman said: "Police were called shortly after 10am to a report that a female was threatening to jump from the multi-storey car park at the Arndale Centre at Accrington.
"Officers attended the scene but unfortunately she jumped from the building at about 10.45am.
"She was taken by ambulance to the Royal Blackburn Hospital but sadly died.
"Her next of kin have been informed and are being offered support by specially trained officers.
"There are no suspicious circumstances and a file will be prepared for the coroner."
A spokeswoman from the North West Ambulance Service said that the woman suffered 'massive head injuries'.
Just hours later a 33-year-old woman was detained by police after she also threatened to jump.
A police spokesman said: "We received a call shortly after 1.30pm of a person threatening to throw themselves off the ledge.
"She has now been detained under the mental health act."
The two women are not believed to have any connections.
The incident comes in the wake of calls last June for safety measures to be brought in at the centre.
Managers at the centre called an urgent meeting to talk about preventing futher tragedies. Yesterday no-one was available for comment.
A Facebook group was set up by Sarah Clitheroe, from Accrington, calling for greater security measures to be installed at the 'notorious' car park.
More than 1,000 people joined the group yesterday following the tragedy.
The 30-year-old, from Lindadale Avenue, said: "My sister and cousin committed suicide so it's something that's very close to my heart.
"It makes me really angry that very little seems to have been done about improving the safety up there.
"It's not something that we can ever fully get rid of and stop but if we can prevent people using that car park then we should take comfort from that.
"The car park is becoming notorious and this is just one in a long line of fatalities in the last few years.
"This affects the whole community and because Accrington isn't a big town, if you kick one of us then we all limp.
"We need to help each other and I'm glad that so many people have already signed up to the Facebook group."
Last June, Michael Singleton, coroner for Blackburn, Hyndburn and the Ribble Valley, said he would write to the Arndale Centre's owners about taking steps to prevent further incidents following the death of 21-year-old Muniza Mehrban.
Hyndburn MP Graham Jones added: "This is really sad news that individuals feel so desperate and lonely that they want to take their own life.
"We have to do more to help people and the support services for people who need them.
"If people are determined to take their own life, they will. What we need is to reach out to them before that happens.
"The family will be devastated and I feel for them. At this time, we must support the family as well as the lady who was talked down."
Council leader Miles Parkinson said: "It's disturbing. As a council we have discussed this with the Arndale Centre and I'm sure the owners will want to address this issue.
"We will be talking to the Arndale Centre to see what measures can be brought. We have already discussed this previously and will be raising it with them again."

nab-Paclitaxel and its potential role in pancreatic cancer
Back in 2009 at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Molecular Targets meeting, a researcher (Anirban Maitra) from Boston had a most interesting poster about the use of nanotechnology to deliver nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) to pancreatic adenocarcinomas in a more targeted fashion. You can read about it in more detail from the meeting coverage at that time.
Essentially, one of the things that stops chemotherapy being more effective in advanced pancreatic cancer is that the stromal layer forms a physical, almost impenetrable layer, that slows drugs from getting through to the tumour.

WILTSHIRE Police have hit back at claims made by the former Brunel Room's management, stating it was their duty to make sure licensed premises are run responsibly.
Superintendent Gavin Williams said: "Essentially we support the responsible sale of alcohol.
"Clearly, from our perspective, we need to ensure that those who go out in Swindon or anywhere else are safe. But that where we have concerns about either the irresponsible sale of alcohol or the irresponsible running of premises then we will bring them to the attention of the relevant authorities.
"Overall, my view is that we are walking a fine line, we can't and won't tolerate violence.
"Where adults go into clubs and drink too much alcohol, or premises are poorly run, it can have a detrimental impact on the surrounding community and surrounding businesses, "And in fact, I don't think there's anybody in Swindon who wants that to happen."
- We would like to point out that this response from Wiltshire Police should have appeared in yesterday's Adver, however, due to a technical error, this was not the case. We would like to apologise for this error.

The BMW F10 5series has an angular dash board that catches sunlight and headlights (at night). This eliminated the glare issue on my windscreen, but it does not look nice. The suede does not respond to brushing and makes my interior look cheap. It also barely came with enough velcrowe and did not have a cut out for the speaker. Over all the fit is amazing. I am very happy at the price I paid versus what I got, but I would have been willing to pay much more for the same item, of higher quality.

This online memorial was created in loving memory of Barbara Tolbert as a virtual obituary and place to share memories. Please sign Barbara's guest book and let us know you came to visit. We will remember Barbara forever.
Barbara Jean Tolbert, 63, of Vancouver, Washington passed away quietly on November 3, 2016. Barbara was born in New York to William and Kelva Altman on July 4, 1953. A firecracker from the start, she was active in choir and theater in school. Although health issues prevented her from completing a degree in Music, she shared her gift of singing as a worship leader, and among family and friends.
She loved children and believed that "there are few things on this earth sweeter than the face of a child," which ultimately served as the motto for her business SweetFace Face Painting. Countless "sweet faces" were made even sweeter by her brushstrokes at fairs, corporate parties and local events. Her talents contributed to her business winning the Best of Vancouver Award in 2013.
Above all else, she was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, and was a living testimony to His miraculous grace and blessing in her life. Despite difficult circumstances and chronic health issues, she was a joyful and loving servant. Her perseverance in the face of struggle was an incredible tribute to her Provider and Savior. She served at the Vancouver Healing Rooms, where she found comfort in ministering to those in need of prayer and healing. Her ministry also extended to family and friends needing support and encouragement.
Barbara is preceded in death by her parents William and Kelva, and older brother Jay Altman. Barbara is survived by her younger brother Jeff (Nancy) Altman of Vancouver; her three daughters Janelle (Jeff) Hildahl of Spokane, Melissa (Rodolfo) Galindo of Vancouver, and Chelsea (Richard) Dean of Vancouver; grandchildren Tristan, Isaac, Alia, Ryan, Adrian, Marianna, Elijah, and Anjuli; nieces Kimberly (Osmon) Babury, Angela Hartford, Rachel Clark; nephews Dameon Hartford and Michael Bieker all of Vancouver; and innumerable cherished friends including, but not limited to, her best friend Rosalie (Carl) Teuscher of Vancouver.
She was a dedicated and exuberant mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend; her legacy lives on through her poems, songs and passionate spirit. We will miss her many talents, compassion and singing, but we are certain she is finally singing for her Lord without limitations.
"Each life that found its way into mine; no matter how short the time; affected me in some way; good or bad, whether foe or friend of mine. And You had sent them all to me. Yes, You've chosen everyone to fulfill some purpose in Your plan, before my life here had begun."

On any given day in the United States from 20 to 25 percent of men and 30 to 40 percent of women are trying to lose weight, and those percentages may be even higher after the holidays, according to Assistant Professor of Nutrition Jorunn Gran-Henriksen.
Most of that weight, however, does not come from seasonal overindulgence. Studies have shown that the average person only gains one or two pounds over the holidays.
The problem is, over time, those pounds can add up.
For those of us wanting to drop that weight before it adds up, Gran-Henriksen offers these tips:
Finally, Gran-Henriksen says, successful weight loss or control should be measured not by pounds lost but by health gained.
You've thought about diet. Now it's time to think exercise. SUNY Plattsburgh Fitness Center Director Matt Salvatore G'02 has a checklist to get you started:

Céspedes Won't Be Leaving to Join Devo
It has been a while since I've thought about Yoenis Céspedes. That isn't entirely true. I think about him quite often, in a purely platonic way, but it has been a while since I've put those thoughts into words. The last time came toward the end of July, while marveling at Oakland's ability to win games at the last possible moment. Included in that piece was the tale of a Céspedes walk-off homer against the Dodgers on June 21.
I also wrote about him back in April, when we all still wondered why the A's would sign a 26-year-old outfielder from Cuba to a four-year, $36 million deal. Between those two articles, Céspedes displayed his abundant talents and made it apparent that Billy Beane—backlash in the wake of being portrayed by Brad Pitt in Moneyball notwithstanding—might know a thing or 52 about baseball.
The expectation was that, if Céspedes succeeded, it would be due to his secondary skills. The batting average might be low, but his power and speed would compensate. He was seen as a raw talent who could struggle against big-league pitching at first.
Céspedes might yet take his lumps—he's in the midst of a late-season mini-swoon as I write this—but for the most part, he has rendered preseason concerns about his game moot. Aside from staying healthy, he hasn't faced any insurmountable obstacles as a rookie. Well, except for Mike Trout. Talk about picking a bad year to break into the American League.
But Trout's otherworldliness takes nothing away from what Céspedes is doing. Consider players who debuted in the big leagues during their age-26 campaign. As of this writing, there have been 1,412 such players since 1901. Of those, 43 qualified for his league's batting title—from Lefty Davis, John Dobbs, and Hobe Ferris in 1901 to Céspedes in 2012 (assuming he remains on his current pace).
You don't find many 26-year-old debutantes garnering material playing time these days. In the so-called Expansion Era (since 1961), only six players have met the criteria outlined above: Chris Sabo, 1988; Chris Singleton, 1999; David Eckstein, 2001; Dan Uggla, 2006; Alexei Ramirez, 2008; Céspedes, 2012 (projected). This excludes players who may have received the proverbial cup of coffee prior to their age-26 season but gives us an idea of how unusual Céspedes' season has been. Assuming he collects enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title, he will have done something remarkable, without even accounting for the fact that he has played well.
The other names on this list aren't terribly inspiring. Sabo enjoyed a few nice years before leaving to replace Mark Mothersbaugh in Devo. Singleton did less than that. Eckstein took forever to reach the big leagues because evaluators focused more on his weaknesses than his strengths, Uggla was a Rule 5 pick with a spotty minor-league record (who hits .258/.301/.353 as a 24-year-old at El Paso and lives to tell about it?), and Ramirez has little in common with Céspedes other than country of birth.
The full list going back to 1901 features some guys who had good careers: Ferris Fain, Miller Huggins, Vic Power, Wally Westlake, a few others. Here are the top five in OPS+ through September 8, 2012:
This isn't predictive of anything, of course—Christensen had 57 games left in his career and didn't do much with those—but the point is that Céspedes is doing something unusual. Which raises the question: What exactly is he doing?
I always enjoy looking at a player's splits. Monthly splits are fun because they give the illusion of breaking things down into discrete, meaningful pieces. As if some human construct loosely based on the lunar cycle cares.
But what if we examine game logs? In some ways, this is even more fun because we can cherry pick precise dates to make our point as compelling as possible. Ooh, magic. I say this because I'm about to cherry pick dates and not make a point. Well, beyond the fact that Céspedes has had some impressive streaks this year:
What I like about the third stretch is that it came after big-league pitchers had faced him 222 times. They even seemed to have solved him in the stretch immediately preceding it, but baseball—as we have heard ad nauseum—is a game of adjustments (just because something makes us want to vomit doesn't mean it's not true; vodka, for example).
The strikeout-to-walk ratio is on the scary side, but making hard contact forgives a lot. And it's clear that Céspedes is making hard contact. He has hit the two longest home runs of the year by an A's player. ESPN's Home Run Tracker lists his April 6 blast against Jason Vargas at 462 feet, and his July 21 shot against Philip Hughes at 458 feet. Here's a grouping of Céspedes' homers by true distance:
Context? Here is how Céspedes compares to MLB average in true distance and speed off bat, another indicator of how hard the ball was hit:
Looks like hard contact to me.
Another split I find fascinating is Céspedes' home/road numbers:
Why does Céspedes hit so much better at the Oakland Coliseum, which typically depresses offense, than he does away from it? And what's up with his plate discipline on the road?
There could be many reasons for this latter fact. Or there could be no reasons. But it's interesting and worth watching. We often think of adjusting to pitchers, but what about adjusting to unfamiliar cities in different time zones?
Great, we've moved from lunar cycles to circadian rhythms.
One more split worth noting is how Céspedes does when he plays different positions. Early in the year, he played center field. Since June, however, he has seen more action in left field and at DH. Here are Céspedes' numbers at each position, in descending order of OPS:
Here's the part where we talk about the physical demands of each position, defensive spectrum... yadda, yadda, yadda. Then we counter with small sample sizes, causation vs. correlation, etc. Maybe there's something to these splits, maybe not. As with the other numbers we've examined, they're more interesting at this point than anything else. For the record, Céspedes strongly prefers to play center.
Platoon splits? Negligible. Well, his PITCHf/x card indicates that lefties have been able to handle him down in the zone or on the inner third, although anything is possible in 21 plate appearances. And if they miss too far down or too far in, he becomes dangerous. Interestingly, Céspedes tattoos right-handers who work him down and in. I don't know why there is such a pronounced difference in those zones depending on the pitcher's handedness, but there you go.
The thing about Céspedes is that he's still learning about baseball in the United States. And we're still learning about him. He might yet have untapped potential, which is scary considering how well he's doing already. The power/speed combination is enticing. More walks would be nice. So would better health and a permanent position.
In terms of expectations, though, Céspedes has met or exceeded all of them. Without ever having faced a big-league pitcher before this season, he has hit them as well as, say, Ryan Zimmerman:
Zimmerman has more plate appearances and a tighter strike zone, but back in April, did you envision these two players having such similar numbers? I didn't.
Among active players, Céspedes' age-26 season bears strong resemblance to those of Melky Cabrera (.305/.339/.470) and Matthew Joyce (.277/.347/.478) from 2011. Even accounting for Cabrera's subsequent drug suspension, this is nice company to keep.
The larger point of such comparisons, and of everything else we've examined here, is that Céspedes is a darned good ballplayer. He might improve, although the likelihood and degree of such improvement remain open to debate. He could plateau where he is, which would make him a useful enough player throughout the duration of his current contract. Or he could regress, which, given his demonstrated ability to adjust as a rookie seems unlikely unless injuries continue to be an issue.
If you're a fan of the A's, maybe give a little toast to his health, because he could make a difference in the coming seasons. And if you're a fan of baseball, consider doing the same, because he is all kinds of fun to watch. Which, other than that whole winning thing, is kind of the point.

It seems odd to me that the article completely ignores the 26 year old rookie in the NL having a season that is somewhat similar to Cespedes' -- Todd Frazier. I guess he might come up a handful of PA short of qualifying for the title (currently has 422 PA to Cespedes' 443), but it just seems a little silly to ignore the obvious.

When do you think he would have made his MLB debut, had he been free to do so earlier? ie. he's clearly making his debut at age 26 for different reasons than Chris Sabo ... and so it seems reasonable to expect his projections to be different ...

This is the great, unanswerable question. It is fun to dream on how things might have unfolded had his life circumstances and development path been different. Then again, it is fun to watch him in his current state, doing stuff that most people cannot do.

Hello friends, please help me how can I get a list of keywords related to my specific keyword?
After google keyword tool now you can take some suggestion for keywords here http://translate.google.com/globalmarketfinder/index.html?locale=en
Google's Keyword Tool used to be the one that I used to recommend, but this is no longer available. However, Google's Keyword Planner has many of the same features.
Another one to consider is Wordtracker. You have to pay a monthly subscription, but there is a free trial which might give you what you need.
You can also use Scrapebox tool.
It's very powerful tool that will save you a lot of time or Google keyword tool in classics =)
I think soovle.com it's a nice tool wich you can use. Just try it
Have you noticed the difference between the old Keyword Tool and the new Planner? I've analyst my keywords twice and for some keywords there where first like 100.000 searches and with the new planner like 20.000 a month... it could be just a trend, but after i saw that i was a bit confused....
Yes, I've heard other people say that as well. I don't know whether it's a matter of the new tool needing time to settle in (I can't think why it would need to), or something wrong with it (or something wrong with the old tool).
The adwords tool is basically build to give the adwords customers a better view on which terms they could spend there money... so i probably think they promote it better then it actually is... because i once ranked in the Netherlands on #5 (number #8 inclusief adwords results) on a great term with more then 1.000.000 visits a month (said Adwords), but it only gave me 70 visitors a day.... normally i would say #5 position would give you 2 a 3% off the incoming traffic that should be ((1.000.000 / 100%) / 30 days) x 2% = around 666 visitors a day... so i was a bit stunned... for all the hard work....
because i once ranked in the Netherlands on #5 (number #8 inclusief adwords results) on a great term with more then 1.000.000 visits a month (said Adwords), but it only gave me 70 visitors a day.
If you use the AdWords tool for optimising your site for organic search, then there's no reason to expect your visitor count to be directly related to the total number of visitors recorded for a given term. The AdWords figure (1,000,000 in your case) is the total visitor count across all sites, from all visitors, throughout the world (subject to any filters in force). Your own figure (70 per day) depends on many factors that have nothing to do with AdWords: how well optimised the site it for the keywords in question; the quality of your snippet text (which is what searchers use to decide whether to click through from the search results); and, of course, the quality of the competition.
Also, the fact that you are seeing your site at #5 doesn't tell you anything. Search results are highly personalised these days, and you can't draw any useful conclusions from the results that you personally see from your own searches.
Tools like the AdWords keyword planner are useful for identifying search terms that you might not otherwise have thought of. But you can't use them to draw any conclusions about the number of visitors to expect as a result of those keywords.
Hi, It´s more work but you can also get ideas from the words your competitors use on their pages, there´s this tool called cronoseo that gives you the highest ranked urls on each keyword, in that way you can find the the pages your competing with. Good Luck!
It only shows some keyword. Nothing else. For researching keyword, this kind of tool cannot help.
anyone have try google keyword wonder wheel ? some website said, same like google keyword planner. but it more seo friendly to searching keyword specific..
The best keyword planner tools is Google Keyword planner. When u are using this keyword planner you have to mention ur URL, Which country u are targeting, Which type of result you want(Broad,Exact), Which language u want.After filling all these options you can get a better results for your specific keyword and even you can get the keyword ideas also.
I assume you are asking for related ones and not for some variation of your specific keywords. Before using any tool, you might want to consider reading Latent Sematinc Indexing and Keyword Stemming.
And then come up with some words or phrases that are correlated to your specific keywords. I am not talking about some sort of adding prefixes or suffixes to a word. Correlation. For example, if you are optimizing for the keyword "Catering Services", correlated words might be "food services" "food preparation" or something like that.
Then use the google keyword planner to come up with a list of priority keywords. Remember to make the content relevant to these keywords and your specific keywords.
Thanks to all those who replied. As the OP has not returned with further questions, I assume they've found their answer.
Thread closed.

DEVIZES-born composer Simon May will return to Devizes later this year to support a production of a musical he wrote 40 years ago.
Mr May, most famous for writing the theme tunes for EastEnders, Howards' Way and other TV dramas, co-wrote the musical Smike with Roger Holman in 1971.
He said he is looking forward to coming back to his home town to support an updated production by local youth musical theatre group First Stages, founded and run by Carole Berry.
Mr May said: "I was delighted to receive a phone call from Carole when she told me that she and her team had decided to produce Smike in May.
"The performances will take place in the Corn Exchange, where I performed last year in the Devizes Carnival charity concert together with my good friend Bruce Hopkins."
Mrs Berry said: "Simon has booked time out of his busy schedule to meet the cast and rehearse with the group, who are very excited at the prospect.
"Devizes schools have been keen to involve themselves with the show and have this unique and exciting opportunity to meet the composer and work with other schools in one big community experience."
Mr May also attended Dauntsey's School, one of the schools joining in with the production, and will be visiting his old school to meet the choir that will be taking part in the show.
Smike, based on Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby, will be performed at the Corn Exchange, Devizes, from May 10 to 12. It is a first major production for First Stages at the Corn Exchange, although the show was performed in the 1970s at Devizes School.
It is being directed by Mrs Berry with a professional production team guided by First Stages' patron, West End star and director Peter Polycarpou, who has just finished a run at the National Theatre in The Magistrate and will be coming to Devizes to work with the cast of Smike for First Stages in February.
Local references have been written into the script with the blessing of Simon May – Dotheboys Hall is now located in Devizes rather than in Yorkshire.
Tickets will be on sale soon from Devizes Books, or can be reserved online now at www.firststages.org.uk More information on the show can be found at www.smikethemusical.com

My conscience will not permit me to sit this one out; mere silence would make me as guilty as they are. I refer to Congress, specifically the U.S. House of Representatives. The American people are not toys to manipulate at will. They were elected to do a job, not play some sort of Russian roulette game with the lives, well-being and futures of American citizens.
My comment to The White House and president is that I didn't vote for him, but I agreed to support him because only fools would want their president to fail. However, over time I've come to the conclusion that I can no longer support him, for I do not believe in his actions and policies.
I agree with Joan King that more guns are not the answer to our gun deaths problem, but others also have made some good observations. Gun control is only one of the problems. We need to address the human factor.
I am a retired physician and lifelong Republican voter. I have, for a number of years, believed our current health care system was in need of an overhaul. I don't know if Obamacare is the solution and only time will tell.
National Preparedness Month in September ended with Gainesville-Hall County, in collaboration with Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, holding the first annual Personal and Family Preparedness Fair in our community. The fair was an important first step for kids to learn about first-responder resources that support our region during a disaster.
I am writing in response to the closing of the Northeast Georgia Health System child care center. The decision has been made but I want people in our community to realize how special it has been to a lot of people.
I was on my way to Atlanta on Interstate 85 south recently when the accident was reported on the radio. Traffic was backing up and the lanes filled with traffic as my short trip began to look like an all-day affair.
I am writing concerning the people who live in the Butler Street apartments. They are angry and concerned for their safety crossing the street and going to the store.
I have worked with Riverside Military Academy on numerous projects over the last 45-plus years.
After reading all of the last three opinions concerning gun control and expressing mine to Joan King, I have decided that the best way to combat the control problem is as follows:
I would like to personally thank Tina Crowe with The Hall County Road Maintenance and Sgt. Kelley Edwards with the Hall County Sheriff's Office for their help in getting speed limit signs posted on Ash Circle.
I normally do not read Joan King, but the headline "More guns don't make us safer" on Tuesday drew me in. She wrote: "There are better ways to protect your home and loved ones than sleeping with a .45 under your pillow."
Michelle Obama states that adding a single glass of water daily will bring improved health. Restaurants serve us, and we eat, fried Oreos, roasted watermelon, breaded fried pickles, overloaded potatoes, overloaded plates and decadent desserts. Our society's morals resemble those of Rome's Caligula. Hannah Montana has become a woman no decent man could proudly call his wife and decadence is an accepted word for Americans.
It occurs to me that we as employers have limited ability under the laws to inquire into a potential employee's background, etc. and therefore some employers have turned to temp agencies to act as a clearinghouse for potential employees.
Recently I hired a Gainesville area electrician to look at a porch light that keeps burning out. Because I had used him before, I agreed to a service charge plus parts, if any. As it turned out there was really nothing wrong, but a small adjustment was made to the socket where someone had turned the light bulb too tightly, bending a contact.

The annual cricket season opener at Parsonage Meadow took place this bank holiday weekend. Whitchurch CC took on an experienced John Dennett XI in what turned out to be the perfect tonic for the season ahead.
Whitchurch decided to bat on a soft, challenging track and the John Dennett XI, a collection of ex-Whitchurch players and close friends of John, seemed to favour fielding first because it gave them the opportunity to line up in a healthy slip cordon and indulge in a variety of cricket reminiscence concerning glory days of old.
In between the conversation, wickets fell at regular intervals. Stewart Samways and Nick Payne bowled with the necessary vim and vigour and three wickets apiece silenced the youth element, who had felt they were past their prime.
Skipper Tom Trinder offered sturdy resistance, making a solid 36 but the rest of his side succumbed in their quest for quick runs on a two paced pitch. Other experienced bowlers were introduced. The legendary Martin brothers (Pete and Rick) bowled in tandem for a spell taking a brace of wickets and Tom Dodd and Eddie Treble bowled tidily.
Two run outs belied the advanced years of the visiting side and put paid to any further Whitchurch resistance, concluding their innings 144 all out from the allotted 35 overs. Early wickets fell in John Dennett XI's quest for glory but Tom Dodd had other ideas and dug in. Pete Martin (11) introduced himself with a huge six that landed in the adjacent field narrowly avoiding a parked police car and at Martin's unfortunate demise, caught at cover, Dodd was briefly joined by Eddie Treble.
Visiting captain, Richard Osmond, joined Dodd with the score at 41-5 and in harness the two started to slowly chip away at the target. Dodd batted especially well, heaving Jim Bevan for an enormous six into the railway bank.
However, Bevan got his revenge taking a magnificent diving catch on the boundary rope to send the brave Dodd packing for a well-constructed 33. Osmond upper the ante with a flurry of bold shots as the overs started to run out and with the support of Rick Martin (6) and the chirpy Nick Payne (8 not out) John Dennett's XI reached the target with two balls to spare, Osmond ending unbeaten on 68.
Another successful and enjoyable day was had by all and the crowd, which included John's wife and family. Ellen Dennett thanked all those who attended and played in John's memory and presented the memorial cricket cloth cap to the winning side. Money raised at the event will be split between a donation to Cancer Research UK and to the cricket club that John loved.

Australian wages rose at a weaker pace than economists estimated in the third quarter, restrained by weaker demand in retail and tourism industries.
The wage price index, which measures hourly pay rates excluding bonuses, advanced 0.7 per cent from the previous three months, when it rose 1 per cent, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said today in Sydney. That compares with the median forecast for a 0.8 per cent gain in a Bloomberg News survey of 20 economists.
The Reserve Bank cut interest rates by 1.5 per centage points from November last year to October to 3.25 per cent to help cushion the economy from Europe's crisis and a slowdown in China. It kept the benchmark unchanged this month in response to signs the global economy is stabilizing and core inflation is accelerating.
"We expect the continued fade in labor demand over the last six to nine months to have started weighing on wage growth," Stephen Walters, JPMorgan Chase's chief economist in Australia who predicted a 0.7 per cent rise, said in a research report before the release.
The wage price index advanced 3.7 per cent in the third quarter from a year earlier, today's report showed. Economists forecast a 3.8 per cent gain from a year earlier.
Hourly rates of pay at retailers increased 2.3 per cent from a year earlier, and accommodation and food services wages and information media and telecommunications pay both rose 2.9 per cent -- the three weakest gainers among the 18 industries surveyed by the statistics bureau. Wholesale trade jumped 5.3 per cent and mining wages advanced 5.2 per cent, the two biggest increases, the report showed.
China demand
"Business surveys and liaison suggest that private sector wage growth may have softened a little over more recent months," the Reserve Bank of Australia said in its quarterly policy statement released last week.
Australia's economy is being driven by China, the nation's biggest trading partner, which is buying up iron ore, coal and natural gas as millions of people in the world's most populous nation move to urban centers. That has helped spur the nation's currency above parity with the US dollar and hurt industries outside of resources.
Traders are pricing in a 65 per cent chance the central bank will lower borrowing costs by a quarter-per centage point to 3 per cent at its meeting next month, swaps data compiled by Bloomberg show. The local dollar traded at $US1.0447.
Australia's unemployment rate rose to a 2 1/2-year high of 5.4 per cent in September and held at that level in October. The economy added full-time jobs for a fourth straight month, the longest streak of gains since 2010, advancing by 18,700 in October, employment data released last week showed.

Amid tensions over the North's third nuclear test last month and ensuing United Nations sanctions, North Korea had already shut down Red Cross hotlines with South Korea and a communication line with the American military command in South Korea. But its decision to cut off military hotlines with South Korea on Wednesday was taken more seriously in Seoul because the two Koreas have used those four telephone lines to control daily cross-border traffic of workers and cargo travelling to the North Korean border town of Kaesong.
The two countries run a joint industrial park at Kaesong, the last standing symbol of inter-Korean cooperation that has survived the political tensions of recent years. Seoul officials said 887 South Korean workers were in Kaesong on Wednesday. The traffic was running normal on Wednesday, South Korean officials said, indicating that the North Korean military did not go so far as to stop cross-border economic exchanges.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Different sensory inputs have different importance to different people. A chef relies heavily on his sense of taste, a musician depends on her sense of hearing, and a masseuse uses her sense of touch more than the average person. A good problem-solver uses all of their senses to find solutions to problems. If you always ignore your sense of smell, you will never invent a solution that uses smell.
When you are exploring some problem, pay attention to all of your senses. For example, if you are designing a new shoe, pay attention to the smell of the leather used in making the shoe. Pay attention to the texture of the fabric. Feel your foot and get a good idea for what a foot feels like. Listen to what sounds the shoe makes. Does it squeak when you walk?
A good way to focus some attention on your other senses is to deprive yourself of the ones you use most often. Wear a blindfold and try to use your remaining senses to think about the problem. You can block out the other senses using similar methods (earplugs to block hearing, for example).

Using the best-quality non-yellowing safflower-poppy seed oils and stable pigments that require no additives to produce a perfect impasto, Puro combines top quality, the perfect manufacturing process, and the correct balance between pigment and binder.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.
Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc White is moderately toxic if ingested and slightly toxic if inhaled.
Though historians are divided on who first isolated the element zinc, they agree that it was first suggested as a white pigment in 1782. Zinc White was accepted as a watercolor in 1834 and was called Chinese White due to the popularity of oriental porcelain in Europe at the time. Ten years later, a suitable oil form was produced. By the early 20th century, it had improved to the point where it was an acceptable alternative to Flake White.
Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.
iron oxides
FeO or Fe2O3
Mars Black is an opaque black with a strong and cool masstone, a slightly warm tint, and a warm brown undertone. It is not as black as Ivory Black, but it dries more quickly and has three times the tinting strength. Mars Black is normally the only black available in acrylic form and that is safe to over paint. It can be used in all media without reservation and is widely used as an alternative to Lamp Black and Ivory Black.
Mars Black is very lightfast with excellent permanence.
Mars Black has no significant hazards and is the only major black pigment considered non-toxic.
The word Mars refers to the Roman god of iron and war. Mars Black was developed in the early 20th century from inorganic, synthetic iron oxide.
Black Iron Oxide, Iron Black, Magnetic Oxide, Mapico Black, Mineral Black. Sometimes labeled as Vine Black.

With the North American International Auto Show in Detroit kicking off the auto-show circuit last week, manufacturers are unveiling their future models. If you're inspired and in the market for a new car, FuelEconomy.gov can help you pick the most fuel-efficient vehicle for your needs. Although most people don't bring their computer with them to the dealership, you're in luck if you have a smartphone or other mobile internet device. FuelEconomy.gov has a mobile version of its popular Find and Compare Cars tool that allows you to search anytime, anywhere.
The mobile tool works just like the one on the FuelEconomy.gov website. You don't even need to download an app! Once you go to the mobile site, select a vehicle's model year and make (brand). If there are options for the transmission and engine, click on the preferred option. The screen will then pop up with the specifications for that vehicle. If you would like to compare the vehicle to others, just click on the "compare side-by-side" button to find another vehicle.
Just like its big brother, the mobile tool focuses on fuel economy but provides much more. It illustrates your carbon footprint and petroleum use, so that you can estimate the environmental impact of your potential purchase. It displays an annual fuel cost, allowing you to figure out the real cost of that sports car. Because the database reaches all the way back to 1984, you can even compare used and new cars. If you're interested in an alternative fuel vehicle, the tool also allows you to look at flexible fuel vehicles (FFV) that run on E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline). You can analyze the differences between an FFV's fuel economy, emissions, and fuel cost depending on whether you run it on E85 or gasoline. The mobile Alternative Fueling Station Locator can help you locate fueling stations and/or charging stations on the road.
Whether you're trying to make a wise purchasing decision or just prove to a friend that your car really does get 30 miles per gallon, the Find and Compare Cars mobile tool provides the information you need. In fact, it's so convenient that the White House blog named it one of the "Top 10 Must-Have Government Apps," along with the mobile Alternative Fueling Station Locator. So next time you're thinking about buying a car, be sure to check out the FuelEconomy.gov mobile site first.
Shannon Brescher Shea is the communications manager for Clean Cities in the Vehicle Technologies Program of EERE.

KStew, Emma Stone + Green Slime: Kids' Choice Awards Red Carpet Style
Okay, the Kids' Choice Awards carpet was actually orange, but which stars, like Amandla Stenberg, Emma Stone, Selena Gomez and Heidi Klum, were red-hot? And which were … not?
-PJ Gach
Host Will Smith warned the stars at the beginning of the Kids' Choice Awards that "no one is safe from the slime! You have to earn the slime! It's an honor!" Boy, did stars get slimed! The Biebs, Halle Berry, Taylor Lautner (side note: he looks good in anything) and Chris Colfer ended up covered in the green stuff.
In addition to green slime, the show brought out stars, singers and up-and-comers. Selena Gomez won two "Blimps" (what they call their awards), for favorite TV actress and female singer. Taylor Swift won the Big Help award for her charity work; Tim Tebow won favorite athlete and Jennette McCurdy of iCarly won favorite sidekick. For the entire list of winners, visit Nick.com. But more importantly, read on for our list of who rocked the red carpet and who needed to be slimed.
Best Dressed:
1. Amandla Stenberg
The Hunger Games starlet looked darling and oh-so age appropriate in her sparkly Tony Ward dress. Look at the gold oxford Kate Spade shoes on Amandla's feet!
2. Victoria Justice
Victoria Justice's show Victorious won the fave TV show award. She definitely looks like a winner in her pink shorts-suit.

3. Kristen Stewart
KStew won the favorite movie actress Blimp for Breaking Down wearing an electric blue Stella McCartney outfit and bright blue Barbara Bui heels. Hot blue! Also — Kristen — is that a smile we see?!
4. Ashley Tisdale
The High School Musical starlet is back to being a blonde. We loved Ashley's summery-chic scarlet Kymerah dress and B by Brian Atwood heels. She finished off her outfit with shiny Le Vian earrings and a Hellmuth ring and tucked her important stuff in an Edie Parker clutch. Nice work, Sharpay!
5. Emma Stone
Emma Stone is just pastel perfection in an Antonio Berardi top and skirt. She completed her look with Alejandro Ingelmo Gilda nude wedges, Irene Neuwirth jewels and a Fendi bag.
Who made our worst dressed list? Was it Katy P, Jada Pinkett Smith or Selena Gomez? Read on to find out!

A TOWNmayor claims councillors do want a new Sainsbury's store, despite complaints its signs are "too orange" for Frinton's beloved Connaught Avenue.
Town councillors had called for the supermarket to ditch its orange branding if it wanted a warm welcome when it opens a store in the town next year.
But Frinton Residents' Association chairman Neil Churcher said he had no problems with the distinctive branding.
Now Frinton mayor Iris Johnson has hit back, claiming town councillors are just trying to protect the street.
"I and many town councillors welcome the advent of Sainsbury's," she said. "At no time did we say that they are not welcome in Frinton.
"However, any major store that wants to invest in our towns will receive the same scrutiny that is required to obtain the best possible services to residents and visitors alike.
"Those who have lived in Frinton for many years, as I have, will know that the 'Bond Street of East Anglia' has long gone, but that should not mean we compound this by not wanting the best for where we live."
She added district and county planners has also ignored pleas to deal with Aboards, giant ice cream cones, chairs and tables in the street.
A spokesman for the supermarket said: "We have wanted to develop a Sainsbury's Local in Frinton for some time, and are engaging with the town council and residents' association on our proposals."

Well, it's official. Fernando Tatis is back in the Mets fold, which could be the nail in the coffin for Carlos Delgado's return. Tatis is a solid utility player who can give first baseman Daniel Murphy a rest and a provide right-handed bat off the bench.
It doesn't look good for those hoping Delgado would rebound and get signed with the Mets again. He's improved in Winter League play, but some still aren't confident in his range at first.
Tatis is like the Energizer bunny for the Mets. The 2008 comeback player of the year just keeps coming back for more.

This episode was very typical of CBS Mystery Theater and all radio dramas that attempted to recreate literary masterpieces. No matter how great the writing or acting was, it was difficult to catch the excellence of the written work in a one hour radio show. Such is the case with "The School Mistress." The episode was based upon 19th century Russian writer Chekov's work. In its day it was controversial as the school teacher's morals were scrupulous. Never-the-less, Chekov's work is a literary masterpiece. Mystery Theater's version--not a masterpiece. It missed out on the details of the love affair and left me at story's end asking, "You mean that's it?" I co have to commend Mystery Theater for attempting to recreate such a fantastic work through radio drama. 3 stars.

What is this?
This guide shows how to setup PostgreSQL as the database to power metasploit, which then leads onto using metasploit's db_autopwn features to carry out a collection of remote exploits in an attempt to gain access to the target system(s). When/If access has been gained; it shows a few basic things afterwards, such as:
- Gathering information – OS, interfaces, privilege level, running processes, idle time, screen shoots and keylogging
- Cracking user's passwords – Finding passwords to access the system
- Gaining shell access – Then transferring meterpreter agent via TFTP
- Handling multiple sessions – Which vulnerability to interact with.
- Process migration – Move code into another process
- Privilege escalation - Attempt to gain SYSTEM level privileges.
- File management – Navigation, Down/Up-load, editing, viewing files/folders
- Program control – Execution and Killing programs
- Misc – Covering tracks and Power management
- Configure PostgreSQL database to be able to function with metasploit
- Setup metasploit to use PostgreSQL and how to connect automatically at startup
- Use nmap from metasploit to scan for target(s)
- Running db_autopwn to attempt to run a collection of remote exploit(s) on discovered target(s) (The two exploits which work were: windows/smb/ms04_011_lsass and windows/dcerpc/ms03_026_dcom)
- Dump the hash table, then by using John The Ripper break password(s)
- Using an alternative method rather than meterpreter to transfer files, TFTP (Useful if you only have shell accesses and wish to use meterpreter shell instead OR interact with another system)
- Migrating to a different process which hides backdoor from running process lists (makes it less obvious of injection and allows the backdoor to be deleted if needed. Plus if the services that were exploited didn't have interactive access to the desktop, it now would)
- Escalate Privilege which allows the attacker to gain more control over the system.
- Various commands to navigate through the file system as well as altering the file structure.
- Basic commands to collect information about the system & user.
What do I need?

- I had deleted postgres's password before recording the video. This is the reason why it didn't prompt me for "(Current) UNIX password:". The solution would be to type "passwd -d postgres" before "su postgres". The commands have been updated to reflex this.
- Metasploit can do A LOT more – this is a brief insight to it
- db_autopwn may not work on your chosen target - Target in the video is running Windows XP SP1
- db_autopwn is "noisy" as it tries a mass of exploits.
- Windows XP by default has a TFTP client built into it, Windows 7 doesn't.

Wait until the Attack is over or STRG+C to Terminate the Attack.
Sessions # shows your connects to the victim

I do plan to get to Windows 7 - just want to do a few OSs/SPs between then tho
In my demos it is a fresh install of the OS and SP, without any other software install, using the default values. Im not what sure what exploit was used to create the session(s).
I am soon recording my take on XP SP3.

BAYTOWN, Texas - A Liberty County police officer fell victim to a home invasion and robbery in Baytown.
Baytown police responded to the call at the The Villas of Rolling Brook Apartments on the 3700 block of Emmett Hutto Wednesday afternoon.
"When he came home, the door was ajar and as soon as he came in, he saw that some furniture had been toppled over," Lt. Eric Freed said.
The off-duty officer said he who knew his 16-year-old nephew was supposed to be home at the time. He told Local 2 he decided to enter his home, even though he did not have his weapon with him.
"It won't happen again," the officer said.
The 22-year-old victim is a newly minted police officer who works for a small department in Liberty County. The officer said he fought with the two robbers, one of whom jumped him in his doorway.
"One thing is when I took him down to the ground, his cellphone came down to his pocket," he said.
Police are now examining the cellphone. After the brief tussle, the officer said he was escorted at gunpoint to his linen closet and was told not to come out. The robbers wrapped his nephew in sheets to subdue him, the officer said.
Neither victim was seriously injured. The robbers left the scene with a safe from the home and remain at large.
If you have information about this crime you are asked to call Baytown Crime Stoppers at 281-427-TIPS.

I'm at a loss here. Whenever my main content is not as high as my sidebar, it appears like a sidebar is below it on the left.See example: ForTheKids | Citizen Science QuarterlyAny thoughts to a cause would be welcome as I have not been able to find the bug.
Have you tried setting a min-height value for the content div? Hard to find the cause of the problem without any code.
It looks like you have an extra closing section element which is confusing the browser.

The op posted a link - just view source
Pump the page through a validator - there are some other, similar issues, like an unclosed
 and some typos like:

(no equals sign).
As well as what was mentioned above...

 aren't closed.. but what's getting me totally lost is the comments. I was giving the code quick glance... I saw that you had
.. which beg the question was that intended to be the close for
 or is it that are you missing an opening tag?
The
 was intended for the "container".
Thanks yall, it ended up being an extra div sidebar, but can't quite remove it without the page falling apart. However, I ended up being able to fix it by just removing the background.
Also @ PiontekMedia, if you're using chrome, just use right click(or two fingers for macs) and use inspect element, it's a wonderful debugging tool.
That's a bit of a risky approach and one that is likely to come back and bite you later.:)
The page is still invalid and fixing the errors mentioned will indeed fix the page. You have badly nested elements and unclosed and stray tags that need fixing to be safe. IE hates missing tags and one tag can destroy a whole page when you least expect it.
Of course the choice is up to you;)

WBC semi-finals generate massive television viewership in Japan
The World Baseball Classic continues to generate massive television ratings in the competing countries. In Japan, Sunday's loss to Puerto Rico earned a 51 share (percentage of available viewers tuned to the game), the largest share for any of Japan's World Baseball Classic games this year.
That game was also the most-watched sporting event in the past year in Puerto Rico, with the final moments of the game peaking at an astonishing 74 share. Today, Puerto Rico takes on the undefeated Dominican Republic team in the World Baseball Classic Championship game, which will be available to 440 million households worldwide, reaching more than 200 countries and territories in 15 different languages. In the U.S., the game will be televised on MLB Network in English and ESPN Deportes in Spanish.

Caring is a Reflex
Dear Engaged bystander: I just finished reading the most recent issue of Partners in Social Change (PISC) focused on "Bystanders: Agents of Primary Prevention." What struck me about this publication by the Washington Coalition of Sexual Assault Programs were the underlying values that thread through each and every one of these articles. Values of:
- hope,
- what each of us does (or doesn't do) matters,
- we each have a chance to make a difference in someone's life or in the world, and
- we do need to care for each other
For full disclosure, I wrote one of the articles in this issue.
In conversations with Kat Monusky, the editor of this publication, she said that she hoped the articles could provide practical examples for what individuals can do, but also provide practical insights to reframe a social environment that supports healthy relationship (not sexual violence).
Here is a quick preview:
- Telling a story to inspire action (Joan Tabachnick)
- Bystander Interventions: A commentary on relationship's roles in ending seism and mal dominance (Eli Crawford)
- The Red Flag Campaign: Using media to engage bystanders (Liz Cascone and Kat McCord)
- Bystander Intervention, "neat": Practical Tips for Engaging Bar Staff in Sexual Violence Prevention (Meg Bossong)
- Program Highlights: ASPEN and Green Dot (Clayton Self)
Each of these articles offer a unique insight into the issue of bystander intervention. And what I love about all of them is that they talk about the importance of everyone doing something AND discuss the importance of the environment that can encourage or discourage action. For example, Meg Bossong (featured in a prevention NSVRC blog posting) talks about the importance of involving bar staff in their program. She also talks about what she learned from them as key to the program success.
If you have time, this is a great snapshot of some great community based and college based programs. I think you will find it helpful to your work and hopefully provide you with food for thoughts and further discussion.
PS I recently read a great quote from Ram Dass where he says: "Caring is a reflex. Someone slips, your arm goes out. A car is in the ditch, you join the others and push. You live, you help." I just love this expectation that we are there for each other.

love this when it works
This is my second one of these coffee machines and while I LOVE the fresh grind and brew this one goes wonky sometimes and coffee goes everywhere. I haven't been able to figure that out. I never had the problem with my first one that I had almost ten years.Read More
I loved the coffee this coffeemaker brewed. But I found cleaning it difficult. And just three days ago, it started smoking. I unpluged it ro avoid a fire hazard. Now it is not working at all. Perhaps I just received a defective product? In the past, my Cuisinarts have lasted more than a few months.Read More
Great product
As expected a great grinder and brewer combinedRead More
Love it
I use it daily and love fresh brewed coffee. I owned a coffee shop and still have beans roasted to suit me so this helps finish proper brewing. Its quiet initially but then gets louder as it gets used. I've noticed it does use what seems to be a lot of beans but maybe not because I make a full pot daily and fill it about every 6 days. I brew on strong also but that should only mean it brews more slowly over the ground beans. Not necessarily more beans. In any event, these only last about a year or so with me so I always keep a spare on hand. I love Cuisinart grind and brews and have had them since they started making them. They will definitely fix it if it breaks within warranty time and you send back.Read More

Positive Review
This Cuisinart Grind and Brew coffeemaker is everything I was looking for plus some. I bought it to replace a SAECO that was three times more expensive and required a bi-monthly coffee chute clean-out which lost my programmed auto brew times. I'm extremely pleased so far.Read More
Husband loved this gift
I purchased this grinder/coffeemaker for my husband for father's day. He had been going to Starbucks almost daily, but now says the coffee from this machine is just as good. It is much easier than having a separate grinder and coffee maker. Great purchase for a coffee lover!Read More
As advertized
There is nothing better than the smell of fresh-ground coffee in the morning. This machine works well. The coffee it makes is great! The only real problems we have are the price of coffee and our inability to find a brand that we love. One other little thing... the feet on the machine are rubber and make it hard to slide on the counter. It left black marks. I just stuck felt pads on them and it's great.Read More
Is everything it is advertised as.
This replaces my 13 year old Cuisinart Grind and Brew that still is working fine. I liked the new design for the bean hopper. I am so arthritic that it was hard for me to take the grinder basket in it out to clean. My new one is wonderful I could not be happier with it.Read More
How to completely avoid coffee grins jamming...
When I first bought this Cuisinart coffeemaker I quickly became frustrated, because it seem would frequently jam and require a manual cleaning out of grounds jammed in the shoot from the grinder to the basket. The metal door at the bottom of the slot was failing to open, or to open fully. Then, I made a discovery regarding a simply solution to that jamming problem! Since then I've never had another problem. When I got my machine the instructions said, Line-up up the engraved arrow on the upper part of the coffee grinds basket cover with the arrow on the tab beneath the upper piece. The instructions claimed that when the basket assembly was set up in that manner, it would automatically align the grinds dispensing and receiving holes, and the metal door at the bottom of the shoot would open, properly. NOT TRUE! It constantly misaligned, resulting in either very weak coffee of a failure to finish grinding due to the coffee grinds being jammed in the shoot. Following, are two simply things that I started doing, when installing the cleaned basket into the machine. Since doing these two things, I've never had another coffee grinds jam, weak coffee, or any other problems with this wonderful machine. 1. Always align the grinds basket so its handle is flipped to the front, and evenly aligned left to right. 2. Also, always align the engraved arrow on the top that's marked MOUNDRE and GRIND (MOUNDRE is French for grind) with the FRONT of the basket assembly, versus with the other arrow on the tab, beneath. Then, when in the closed position the top arrow points to the front (me). I make sure that it does not rotate off center by more than a little bit, when the assembly is pushed into the locked position.. Performing these two simple steps has guaranteed perfect functionality. No jams ever occur. When aligned in this manner the grinds always fall into the basket; instead becoming trapped and packed into the grinds shoot due to the metal door not opening properly. FYI, on another note, I've come to appreciate that fine coffee is like fine wine -- it improves with age. A FRESHLY MADE pot of coffee always -- no matter the brand of beans -- has a slightly bitter tang. Some people may like that tang, but I don't. My Cuisinart machine includes the tightly sealed thermos container, versus a clear glass pot. I've found that after fresh brewed coffee sits a day or more in the thermos, it becomes much more mellow and sweet, just as wine does when allowed to aerate for 12+ hours in an open carafe. Everyone I've told this to has at first thought my claim was BS, but after enjoying some or my 1-4 day old SWEET and FULL BODIED coffee, they've all agreed with my claim, and they now AGE their brewed coffee, too. This does not work if coffee is kept hot by a coffeemaker that has a heating pad beneath the pot. Clearly, heat and evaporation get the better of the situation, and that coffee becomes overly strong and bitter. Give my suggestion a go, if you have a carafe model. You'll then become convinced that my claim is valid -- I'm quite certain! CHUCKRead More
