Ivanka Trump, the accessories designer and real estate developer -- who can be seen on the new season of "All-Star Celebrity Apprentice" -- talks passion, preparation, and paperweights.
Best Way To Combat Nerves
Preparation. I'm in nerve-racking situations on a daily basis. I negotiate with titans of industry, so I make sure I know what I'm talking about.
Best Advice
Love what you do. There's always going to be someone else who's smarter than you, but there's no substitute for passion. People who are passionate always work the hardest, and that sets them apart.
Best Childhood Memory
I used to love sitting on the bathroom floor in my pajamas and watching my mother get ready for an event. She'd stand in front of her vanity and apply bright red and blue makeup -- it was the '80s, you know.
Best Guilty Pleasure
I DVR all the "Real Housewives" shows, and I'll usually watch them at 2 in the morning if I can't sleep. I've learned to hit "mute" if my husband walks into the room, though. The sound of those women screaming drives him crazy.
Best Souvenir
When I was little, I'd pick flowers wherever I traveled with my mom, then dry them, cover them with resin, and turn them into paperweights. Now I mainly buy clothes for my daughter.
Best Hobby
Until I got married, the only pieces of cookware I owned were a couple of pots and a George Foreman grill from college. Now, every Friday night, I spend three hours making a feast -- including two entrées, like veal Marsala and spinach kugel. It's basically Thanksgiving once a week, complete with leftovers for the weekend.
Best Gift
I have a beautiful, healthy, sweet-tempered young daughter and a supportive husband who is my best friend. I've been dealt some good cards.
Best Vice
Thanks to my Czech-German heritage, I can't get enough of savory foods like stews, sausage, noodles, and anything that involves melted cheese. Not great choices from a dietary perspective, but at the end of a long day I feel like I'm entitled.

F.A.QsHere is a collection of frequently asked questions that we have put together to assist you. If you have any other questions, not listed here, feel free to call or send an e-mail.
By clicking on any of the questions below, you may view the answer.
After ordering my steel carport, building or garage, how long will be before my scheduled installation?
It takes anywhere from 3-5 weeks depending on where you are located and the size of the structure. We work very hard to get your order built and installed at your location as soon as possible.
Can adjustments be made to my steel carport, building or garage if the ground is not level?
Although we prefer the ground to be perfectly level, our installers can adjust the legs up or down 2"-3" at the bottom on the base rail if the ground is a bit un-level. We do ask that your ground be level before our installers show up on the day of your installation.
Can I add options on to my steel carport, building or garage once its been installed?
Yes, but there will be a return trip delivery fee for options under $1000. Our sales consultant will be sure to go over these options before you order.
Can I install our steel carport, building or garage myself and is there a discount?
Yes. In most areas. Check with your sales consultant about the discounted rate on your order. We will drop off the materials needed and also send detailed instructions to help you through the installation process. (Be sure to ask if your area qualifies for a "drop off only")
How will my steel carport, building or garage be anchored when it is installed?
All "Non-Certified" carports have rebar pin anchors for ground installations. If you choose, you can upgrade to mobile home anchors for ground or asphalt anchors for an additional charge. If the structure is going on slab, footing or stem wall we will use concrete wedge anchor bolts to secure the structure. If you choose to have a Certified carport, building or garage on the ground, you will need to purchase mobile home anchors. Our engineers will determine how many anchors you will need to meet your areas wind and/or snow loads.
Is it required for me to have a concrete slab to order a steel carport, building or garage?
No! We offer mobile home or screw anchors and asphalt anchors that can be certified for installation on dirt, gravel or asphalt.
What colors are available and are they different depending where I am located?
Yes and there are up to 19 different colors depending on where you are located. Click on the link below then on your state to see the colors available in your area. Click Here to view our Color Chart
What is the angle or pitch of the roof on my steel carport, building or garage?
The standard "roof pitch" is approximately a 3/12 pitch. This roof pitch will vary a little depending on the width of your carport, building or garage.
What is the maximum leg height I can have on my steel carport, building or garage?
We can Install up to 12' leg height standard and special engineered 13' & 14' leg heights. (Be sure to discuss the leg heights you require with your sales consultant)
What size should the concrete slab be for my steel carport, building or garage?
The concrete slab should be a minimum of 6" larger each side and end than the overall unit size. The length of the base rail is always 6" shorter on each end or overall 1' shorter than the roof line of the structure. For example: If you order a 12' x 21' carport, the foot print is 12' x 20' So your concrete would need to be poured at 12' 6" x 20' 6"
What would be the center or peak height of my steel carport, building or garage?
The peak height could range from 3'-6' higher than the leg height you chose depending on the "roof style" and width of your structure.

|Deb Reinhart, operator of the Steinhouse Bar, 335 A Street.
"This is basically a quiet bar, where people can come and sit and talk," said operator Deb Reinhart, who got her liquor license from the state the old-fashioned way, by applying for one and then waiting years.
Beer and wine licenses are easy enough to get, but Idaho bases the number of liquor license a community can have on population. This arrangement has led to some exorbitant prices being paid by people in a hurry.
Now that she has received a new state liquor license, she must "perfect" it over the next six months by staying open 10 hours a day six days a week and selling at least one drink each day.
The property is across the street from Great Harvest Bread Co., where a barbershop had been since the 1950s. The remodel had some archaeological interest, with papers and old clipper heads from the Eisenhower era. Reinhart opted to keep the black-and-white-checkerboard linoleum floor, but said she would not care to repeat the experience of cleaning it on her hands and knees.
Because the use of the building was being changed, she was required to put in a handicapped-accessible bathroom. "This is probably the smallest bar with the biggest bathroom you'll ever see," she said.
The name comes from the collection of beer steins on the shelf. Reinhart said there is no place she would rather be than downtown. Other bar owners have stopped by to wish her well.
"I love downtown," she said. "The people are so friendly."

Cover FX Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer Review and Swatches
Cover FX Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer is one of the weirdest concealers I've had the pleasure of working with.� With a color match that was completely wrong on so many levels….hello gross orange shade….and a formula that's all kinds of strangeness, it did so take me a second to get my kicks on with this guy.
Jump for the review.
Ok, so you have to be willing to put in a little time and a little patience when it comes to Cover FX's first ever concealer. It takes a little while to love this but I'm taking bets you will adore it after a week of use.
The bad….
It stinks. I dunno what kinda smell it has going on but it's yuck-o. It's kinda a herbal, dirt, chemical cocktail that I don't have a name for. No likey. It's orange. The two lightest shades were complete and utterly orange beige and just strange. I took one look and ran far away. I mean seriously orange concealer? No worky. It has a wicked weird formula that completely turned me off. First few uses was like a bottle of ketchup that was hanging in my fridge too long. You know when you have to squeeze the bottle to get the gross water out that separated from the actual ketchup before using it…..come on people you so know what I mean. That's the concealer for the first few uses…it's all watery and….and…wrong.
I was determined to like this so I kept going for a a week or so. Mind you I'm so impatient and I want instant results with most anything I buy so sticking with anything a week or more is saying something.
I absolutely love it.
After getting past the initial weird watery texture you'll end up with a good solid formula. It's not moisturizing but more of a silicon almost vinyl feel. A single dot will do your entire eye…don't go over board, it's very, very, very pigmented so a tiny dot is plenty. The color? No worries about that weird orange color it actually lightens as you blend. The product starts off a strange orangey beige but as you blend in you'll notice it becomes lighter and lighter until it suits your tone perfectly. I tried it in X-Light and at first it didn't match at all but with proper blending it was the perfect shade.
About that silicon-like formula that kinda feels like vinyl, that would be the built in primer that the concealer's formula carries along with it. While concealing it repairs and conditions the eye area. Coverage is pigmented yet lightweight with a smooth, beautiful finish. It blends fairly easily and wears incredibly long.
It's $25 and probably the best bang for your buck since you could probably go a year or more without purchasing against considering a single dot will do you.
I absolutely loved this. Truly the formula, the smell, and the color threw me a curve ball and I was on the verge of flinging it across the room at first try but I'm ever so glad I stuck with it. It's one of those unique concealers that could possibly become HG (holy grail) material after further testing.
Muse Approved for purchase. Check it out for yourself, if possible try it in store, you'll be amazed at how the color changes and morphs into the perfect concealer shade.
Loves it!
Anyone try yet?
What are your thoughts on it?

The University of Hong Kong has decided not to track down students who hung pro-independence banners up on campus on China's National Day.
Vice-chancellor Peter Mathieson said that the banners had been taken down because they had not been approved by the proper processes, but also said the university supported "freedom of speech" and would not pursue those responsible, the South China Morning Post reported.
Banners appeared on eight campuses on 1 October – when China commemorates the founding of the People's Republic by the Communist Party in 1949 – amid fears of Beijing's increasing power in the former British colony.
Hong Kong is formally part of China, but is supposed to enjoy relative self-governance under the "one country, two systems" settlement, which many believe is now under threat.
The Hong Kong National Party, which is pro-independence, said that it had provided the banners to students who pinned them up, according to the SCMP.
In August, Professor Mathieson issued a statement that independence was not a "realistic option" and "would not be in the best interests of the university".
The vice-chancellor, a British academic who was formerly dean of medicine and dentistry at the University of Bristol, took over the position in April 2014, and has led the university through some of the most tumultuous times in its history – including the student-led so-called Umbrella Movement protests against Beijing's influence later that year.
Pro-democracy academics say they have been subject to public attack by pro-Beijing newspapers, and claim academic freedom in the city is under threat.
Professor Mathieson also revealed last year that his email account had been hacked multiple times – but said he did not know who was responsible.

Police in Albuquerque, New Mexico, call UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones a suspect in a hit-and-run accident that sent a pregnant woman to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
"The Albuquerque Police Department is actively seeking UFC Fighter Jon Jones for questioning in regards to his possible involvement in a hit-and-run accident, near the intersection of Juan Tabo and Southern, in Southeast Albuquerque early this morning, April 26, 2015," the New Mexico city reported on its website. "A pregnant female in her 20s, who was the driver of a separate vehicle, was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. Officers attempted to contact Mr. Jones at his residence Sunday evening, but were unsuccessful. We have also reached out to his lawyer, but as of now, have not heard back."
The UFC responded to the alleged incident involving their marquee fighter in a brief statement posted to their website.
"We are aware that the Albuquerque Police Department is interested in speaking to Jon Jones regarding his possible involvement in a motor vehicle accident," a statement posted to the UFC's website announced. "We are in the process of gathering facts and will reserve further comment until more information is available."
But above the link to that statement appeared another statement of sorts: Jon Jones's face and fist promoting a UFC-themed video game in an EA Sports advertisement at UFC.com. Below that the name "Jon Jones" topped the UFC's pound-for-pound rankings. The site's schedule of events still lists Jones defending his title on May 23 against Anthony "Rumble" Johnson at UFC 187.
In other words, Jones remains the star outshining all other stars on the UFC roster, the promotion's top draw, its chief moneymaker. Though the lanky wrestler appears untouchable in the octagon, boasting eight straight title defenses against such formidable foes as Daniel Cormier, Lyoto Machida, Alexander Gustafsson, and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Jones has faced career-jeopardizing challenges outside of the arena.
He popped positive for cocaine on an out-of-competition drug test administered a month prior to his January UFC 182 blockbuster fight against Daniel Cormier. Three years ago, police in Binghamton, New York, arrested Jones for suspected DUI after the fighting phenom smashed his Bentley into a pole early on a Saturday morning.
When Breitbart Sports questioned Jones during a December conference call about his sketchy story that Nike had dropped him from an endorsement deal because of a press-conference scuffle with Daniel Cormier, the 27-year-old champ, who subsequently signed with UFC sponsor Reebok, admitted that he did not speak honestly.
"The truth of the matter is I did not get dropped by Nike," Jones admitted. "It was a mutual thing, something that we had discussed months before the actual fight."
Apart from enabling him to sign with UFC sponsor Reebok, the corporate divorce–and the cover story explaining it–fueled Jones's argument for a lesser punishment in front of the Nevada State Athletic Commission for the impromptu, unsanctioned fight with Cormier in a casino lobby. The commission ultimately grabbed $50,000 from him and ordered community service. Jones told Breitbart Sports on the conference call that "in front of the commission I definitely worded it wrong."
After his hard-fought, impressive victory over Cormier in the cage, Jones entered rehab. But he left the next day, soon thereafter attending the New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts AFC Championship Game that featured his younger and older brothers on opposing squads.
The exciting, athletic unorthodox striker and smart strategist, who has not tasted a legitimate defeat in 22 fights, may see his championship run conclude at the hands of the same man who ended predecessor Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's title stint, Daniel Cormier's belt-holding hopes, and Chael Sonnen's dreams of UFC gold.
The champion now knows a truth long understood by the rest of the light-heavyweight division: Jon Jones is a tough man to overcome.

Connecting Information Security and Corporate Governance
Lawyers and government are not technically qualified to make cyber governance decisions….
For business leaders who are unwilling to make the governance choices needed to insure security on line, it is likely that someone else will make those choices for them.
That is the all too likely and harsh reality Ryn Melberg describes to the listeners of her weekly podcast. The only podcast of its kind, "The Guardian Podcast with Ryn Melberg" is about the modern world of information work and commerce. It features conversations about better ways to deliver value using Agile, Scrum, Lean, and the Scaled Agile Framework along with issues of corporate governance.
The Guardian Podcast can be heard on her website at www.rynmelberg.com, on iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/connecting-information-security/id977764101?i=365753826&mt=2) or on Sound Cloud (https://soundcloud.com/harold-nicoll).
Ryn believes that for business and other institutions to be secure in the information age they will have to fundamentally adjust their thinking. "We really have to change our mindset about how we work and why we work," Ryn said. "Using more advanced ways of thinking and planning work with tools like Agile and Lean will certainly help support the modern world of business and protect stakeholder values. For those who cannot handle more the rigorous governance required for cyber security, you will probably need a new job."
Who Makes Governance Choices If Leaders Do Not?
Surrendering the right to make governance choices to lawyers or government officials is tantamount to ceding the ground rules used for running a business to people who are not qualified. "We are already seeing a lot of lawyers getting into governance issues," Ryn said. "Government will follow lawyers, but neither is really that good for business."
While lawyers may say they are interested in bettering governance rules so 'no one else has to go through this again' they are really in business to represent individuals or classes in court. "Their job is to keep you out of jail, not define technical rules of your or any business," Ryn said. "No one would ask a plumber to do heart surgery. Getting lawyers and congress to make cyber governance rules is even less smart."
Making Governance Work For Security
According to Ryn, there is no larger threat to people, commerce or government than that of cyber breech. Her recommendations for corporate governance rules are easy to understand, but difficult to implement. "All governance rules for risk management should include a cyber security component," Ryn said. "For those rules to work will require an investment in IT. Cyber security must become part of everything we do and we need to build cyber security into every process and procedure we have."
Empower Employees
As cyber security becomes part of everyone's day to day responsibility, Ryn believes that employees must be empowered to take meaningful action to prevent the possibility of a cyber break down. "At Toyota, every worker on the assembly line is permitted to stop the line and halt production if they find a defect," Ryn said. "Information workers should be similarly enabled to halt work if they believe they have discovered a vulnerability. We should let our code writers throw up roadblocks to prevent cyber breeches or even the possibility of a cyber breech to the point that if someone does not stop the line, they are in trouble and if they stop the line and are wrong, they are rewarded."
No Universal Standard But….
Ryn suggests that cyber security requirements be added to risk management as part of overall governance. As with all risk management, there is no one-size-fits-all approach, but some basic steps will help build a robust, nimble and practical cyber defense and there is no general standard for cyber security rules of governance currently exists. So where to start? A good place is to find and record what the organization owns and operates. Begin with an inventory of desktops, laptops, tablets, iPhones, printers and any other device that is part of the organizations' network. "I have found that printers and old fax machines that are still hooked to a network provide vulnerability," Ryn recounted. "That's like leaving the doors unlocked and the windows open, but worse because so much more can be compromised."

The Proceedings of the 7th Petroleum Geology Conference is the seventh in a series that has become a tradition known as the Barbican conferences. They started life over 35 years ago, in 1974, with a focus solely on North-West Europe, and have a reputation, both from the conferences and the accompanying proceedings volumes, of being at the forefront of petroleum geoscience; the standard reference for successive generations of petroleum geoscientists.
North-West Europe has matured as a petroleum province and, at the same time, the conference series has matured to be a truly global event. These proceedings embrace many of the worlds petroleum provinces in a two-volume set. There are sections on Europe (exploration, field development and production techniques in exploration exploitation) which still provides the heart of the proceedings; Russia, the former Soviet Union and Circum-Arctic; North Africa and the Middle East; Passive Margins; and Unconventional Hydrocarbon Resources.
In addition, the three Geocontroversies debates, highly acclaimed at the conference, are included, as is a summary of the Core Workshop. A DVD complements the books and, in addition to providing electronic versions of all the papers also includes selected posters and video clips from the Virtual Field Trip session; the latter being a major success at the conference.
The proceedings volumes of this seventh conference, Petroleum Geology, are therefore a must for every petroleum geoscientists bookshelf.

Financial security, not having to worry about money in old age, stop working sooner... call it what you may, but (early) retirement is a financial goal all of us have.
Achieving peace of mind when it comes to securing your financial future scores high on your list of financial priorities. Here's how easily you can start planning for it through your own Retirement Goal on Goalwise.
Step 1: Adding a new Goal from the Goalwise Dashboard
When you sign in to your Goalwise account, you will be taken straight to your Dashboard. Here, you will see the 'Add a goal' button in the bottom right corner of the page, just below the notifications bar (Not signed up yet? Take a minute to do it here).
Click on 'Add a goal'.
Retirement is the first goal on the 'Add a new goal' pop-up, under the 'Essential goals' category. We kept it there because we know it's important for you.
Click on the 'Retirement' goal card, and then click on 'Proceed to Goal Plan'.
Step 2: Personalising your Goal Plan on the Goal Plan page
One of the main inputs here is the Risk Level. Your asset allocation and fund recommendation will depend on which option you select, Low, Moderate or High.
You can also change your desired Monthly Investment amount, and your Time Horizon (your time to retirement). Your target amount will depend on these 3 inputs:
- Selected risk level
- Monthly investment
- Time horizon
For example, if you are 30 years old and plan to retire at 60, you can allocate a higher percentage to equity, since you have about 30 years to reach your goal. So in this case you should choose your risk level as High. If you are not comfortable with this then go with a Moderate risk level.
Additionally, let's assume that your current monthly expenses are Rs. 35,000, your life expectancy is 85 years (But we hope you live forever!), and you wish to maintain the same lifestyle after retirement. A rule of thumb is to save in your pre-retirement years the amount of money you will spend post-retirement, based on a conservative growth rate that matches inflation. The calculation is done as follows:
Monthly Investment Needed for Retirement = Current Monthly Expenses x (No. of Years to spend after Retirement) / (No. of Years left for Retirement)
So, in this case, with monthly expenses at Rs. 35,000, no. of years to spend for after retirement at 25, and no. of years left for retirement at 30, you should aim to save around Rs. 30,000 every month. (Rs 35,000 * 25/30 = Rs 29,166)
Once you plug-in these numbers i.e. monthly investment as 30,000 and time horizon as 30 years in the goal plan you can see that this will build a retirement corpus of Rs. 8 crores by the time you are 60 years old!
You can also see the current fund selection and allocation under the Investment Breakdown table.
Once you are satisfied with the plan, click the blue 'Add as Goal' button at the bottom.
This creates a new goal 'Retirement' with the current plan and adds its Goal Card on your Dashboard.
You're now just one step away from securing your financial future!
Step 3: Start investing through a monthly SIP
Click on the Retirement Goal Card on your Dashboard to proceed.
This is the 'Goal Information' page for your very own Retirement Goal. In addition to what you saw on the 'Personalised Goal Plan' page, you will also see here a projected 'Goal Path', which charts out your goal progress under different market scenarios. If you want to make any changes to your Goal Plan, you can do so by going to the 'Goal Planning Tool'. Since you just made our plan according to your requirements you are ready to go ahead and invest.
To begin investing towards your Retirement Goal, click on the blue 'Invest Now' button. This will take you to payments page similar to the one below.
Here Amount to Invest, Monthly Investment (SIP) option and Duration (in months) are preset as per the Goal Plan that you decided on earlier. We don't recommend changing these values here as it will affect your goal projections.
Choose the Start Date that is convenient for you out of the available options. Every month, on the date you select, money will be transferred automatically from your account directly to the Mutual Funds. Once the Mutual Funds confirm the transactions, the investment will appear under your 'Retirement Goal' in your Goalwise account.
Now, all you need to do is agree to the standard terms and conditions, and click 'Invest Now'! Goalwise provides bank-grade security to guarantee the safety of each transaction.
Congratulations! You're now on your way to reaching your Retirement goal!
Now just sit back, relax and watch your savings grow. We designed Goalwise to be a 'set and forget' system for you. Once you have set-up a goal, Goalwise does all the hard work of managing it from start to finish. Goalwise will now:
- Keep you invested in the best mutual funds throughout your goal, changing funds if required based on Goalwise's rigorous research;
- Review and rebalance your portfolio regularly to make sure your risk is always under control;
- Notify you automatically of suggestions that can help you reach your goal faster
You have made the perfect goal plan for you, and we will work on it till you retire in style!

Happy Thursday!
I have tried so many samples of blushes and I must say, I prefer cream blushes to powder ones. Why do I prefer powder blush to cream ones, you ask? Well here are my reasons why:
- You can build up the product especially if it is not that pigmented
- I feel like it lasts longer than cream in the container
- It depends on how pigmented the blush is but some stay on the face for longer period of time
- It doesn't stay on the face it's not pigmented
- Sometimes the color shows differently on the face
- It makes me look powdery
Other than these cons, sometimes, some makeup looks that I do goes better with powder blushes than cream ones.
- It goes on smoothly and it is blendable
- You can use a brush or your hand to apply it
- I like how dewy and glowy it makes my makeup looks
- It makes you appear more youthful
- It stays on
- It is messy when applying
- I don't have anything else to say about it
I received the Lancome powder blush as a gift with a purchase, and I bought the Butter London cream blush at Marshall's!
That is all for today, y'all!

THEY were once the toast of young Hollywood but now The Hills villains Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are broke and are living back at his parents' house in Santa Barbara.
Wonder if 25-year-old Heidi's infamous 10 surgical procedures she had in one day had anything to do with the dent in their pocket?
The couple, dubbed Speidi, even confessed their break-ups were staged to drum up publicity.
Spencer, 27, admitted: "At that point, we were pulling our last cards. We felt the hot-air balloon losing its gas. And at that stage, our income would be selling the photo that would go along with the divorce."

- Demi Yan, Head of Partnerships, ELEX
Clash of Kings from ELEX is one of the hottest cross-platform real-time strategy games. Awarded Facebook's 2015 Game of the Year, Clash of Kings has 50 million players worldwide across web and mobile.
ELEX wanted to lower CPI in the German market for Clash of Kings' mobile app installs. They had a TVC but lacked the resources and ability to repurpose them into online video ad versions quickly.
Higher Creative Volume
With access to ReFUEL4's global pool of 10,000 designers, ELEX received 20% higher volume of creatives for their Clash of Kings Facebook ad campaign.
TVC Repurposed
We worked with the ELEX team to create videos using Clash of King's TVC and gameplay assets.
Intelligent Creative Selection
Our proprietary AI-backed machine learning SHAKA Engine picked the top 50% of submitted ads and ranked each according to predicted ad performance. ELEX was able to make informed creative choices through ReFUEL4's predictive analysis feature.
Higher Refresh Rate
With sufficient creatives for campaign testing and optimization, ELEX's underperforming Facebook ads were automatically detected and swapped with new ones to maintain optimal campaign performance.
Creative Renewal
Designers were prompted to produce more ads whenever creative performance drop was detected. This allowed ELEX's Clash of Kings campaign to continuously perform at an optimal rate.
– 20% higher volume of creative
– 43% reduction in CPI

Borrowing inspiration from Bible scripture, states the book of Proverbs 30:18-19, 18There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19 The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.
The celtic borders that surround the main composition feature the 'dragon pattern' influenced by the book of kells. The borders were drawn using a Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph and the center composition was drawn using a crow quill or nib pen with a Speedball 22B nib.

Question about Washing Machines
Posted by jerhaslam on
This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump
removes most of the water) machine.
First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:
and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.
Two possibilities: I ASSUME THAT YOU'VE TRIED OTHER CYCLES AND THAT IT WILL NEITHER AGITATE NOR SPIN.
Newer model Whirlpool / Kenmore washers use a Lid Switch as a safety device. Unless the switch senses that the lid on the washer is closed, the washer will neither agitate nor spin.
Older models only used the switch during the spin cycle.
Try to bypass the Lid Switch by removing the Console and jumping the two outermost pins on the switch.
This is a Whirlpool PDF on how these washers operate. It has a diagram on jumping the switch as well as a detailed section on how the transmission works.
It also has a troubleshooting guide.
To bypass the switch, you only have to disconnect the power to the washer, tilt the console back, unplug the switch and using an short piece of insulated wire, jump the two outermost contacts on the connector coming from the console and plug the washer back in.
Following is a description of how to gain access to the console and how to remove the cabinet if necessary.
With the jumper in place, try to re-start the washer.
If it works, the Lid Switch is a relatively inexpensive part.
If the washer still doesn't work, check the motor coupler.
Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive washers use a "Motor Coupler" between the motor and transmission.
It's used as a fail safe device and consists of three parts.
Two of the parts are the same, plastic units with three prongs that fit on one of the motor output shafts and the other on the
transmission input shaft. Between them is a rubber piece with six holes.
The power from the motor is transmitted through the rubber piece to the transmission.
The other shaft on the motor directly drives the pump.
If the motor coupler is broken, or worn, the motor may not be able to send full power to the transmission for agitating or
See the following for how to remove the cabinet, pump, motor and motor mounting plate to inspect and replace the motor coupler.
If the coupler looks damaged, it's a relatively easy fix.
Pry the plastic pieces from the motor and transmission. Some people use a claw hammer but I've found that using a small (6 inch) pry bar works well.
Carefully fit the plastic pieces over the motor and transmission shafts and press them in place (Use a 1/2" of larger socket to put pressure equally around the pieces.
Put the rubber piece on the transmission plastic piece.
Replace the motor mounting plate.
Carefully line up the plastic prongs on the motor based plastic piece to the three un-used holes in the rubber piece. If they don't line up right, the coupler could be damaged.
Mount the motor, don't forget the two screws, put the pump back on the motor and use its' clips.
Put the cabinet back on, don't forget to plug the lid switch back in and re-mount the console.

The breast cyst is characterized by a cavity formed in the chest with accumulated fluid. The main symptoms are dense, immobile and spherical formation to the touch, which causes discomfort. There is one-sided (solitary) and multiple (striking both breasts) cyst. Moreover, the presence of not every cyst can be determined by the method of palpation.
The size of the tumor can be from a few millimeters (then they can be detected only by ultrasound) to a few centimeters (detectable by palpation of the breast). That cyst that can be detected by palpation is called large.
Women at the age of thirty or forty are at greatest risk of developing cysts. The risk group also includes nulliparous women. But no woman is protected from the breast cyst. The main cause of this disease is hormonal disorders. Affect the level of hormones can, for example, taking oral contraceptives or thyroid disease. The cyst can arise because of previous operations in this area. Not the least role is played by genetic predisposition. All diseases from nerves, and the breast cyst can also form in a woman who has experienced a strong nervous tension. nolvadex during cycle
As mentioned above, a large cyst can be found on palpation. Also, often the appearance of the cyst is accompanied by drawing pains, which become especially noticeable in the premenstrual period. This is due to an increase in the volume of breast tissue and squeezing them cysts.
In some cases, the presence of a cyst can only be determined by a professional examination. In women with a breast cyst, the risk of cancer is higher than in healthy women. Therefore, the cyst requires surgical treatment.
On the skin it is very difficult to determine even the presence of a large cyst. The skin above the cyst is not retracted and does not change. With the running case, the skin is able to retract and even deform the nipple, but this happens very rarely.
What is dangerous for the cyst of the breast? Neoplasm of the breast is not dangerous for a woman's life. Of course, it can reduce the quality of life for certain symptoms, but it is rarely a pathology that degenerates into a cancerous tumor. Despite this, its nodular forms are capable of stimulating a malignant tumor. Quite often the breast cyst, considering the risk factors for mastopathy, and the whole danger of malignant process, represents a background for cancer development. According to statistics, a cyst in the mammary gland is present in every third woman, and many do not even know about it. Faced with the disease, the fair sex begins to panic, in fear of the fact that cancer can develop. Do not do this, you just need to start treatment in a timely manner. With the timely detection of the disease, it is necessary to have time to eliminate the cause and conduct complex therapy. (Read also: stages, symptoms, signs and treatment of breast cancer)
Does the cyst of the breast itself dissolve? A rare phenomenon when there is an independent resorption of the breast cyst, therefore, it is not necessary to start the disease. Even small cysts do not resolve themselves, but are treated conservatively. If the cyst is 1.5 centimeters in size, then the puncture of the contents is taken and the ozone or air introduced into the cavity. At a given size of the cyst, it is necessary to smooth its walls. Any self-treatment (herbs and compresses), in the hope that the cyst itself will resolve, is unacceptable. Only the doctor prescribes treatment, carefully monitoring the dynamics of the cysts. It is also unacceptable to have an independent treatment without establishing a diagnosis. Experimenting on your health, in anticipation that the compaction will resolve, is unacceptable.
Is it possible to massage the mammary gland? Breast massage is prohibited. The fact is that her tissues are very tender, and trying to squeeze out liquid from the nipple with the help of intensive massage will lead to her injury. Therefore, the iron is not only forbidden to massage intensively, but it is better not to touch it at all. It should avoid any injuries and bruises of the chest, including underwear with sharp bones. We need to protect not only the tissues of the breast, but also her skin. As you age, you need to lubricate the breast with olive oil to prevent excessive dryness. Breast massage can be performed 2-3 days after delivery. At this time, it is extremely necessary, since the breast is filled with milk, and its stagnation can lead to the formation of lactational mastitis.
The cyst can dissolve itself, it should not be treated? Indeed, the cystic formations can resolve, however this occurs extremely infrequently. Cases of self-liquidation are so rare that when a cyst is found, doctors almost always recommend their removal. If the size of the education is more than 15 mm, the patient is given a puncture and the extraction of its contents for further investigation. This is done to clarify the diagnosis and prevent a possible relapse.
Is it possible to sunbathe or visit a sauna with a breast cyst or after its treatment? Sunburn is harmful to any, even a healthy woman - this is known for certain. Therefore, doctors do not recommend going to the solarium, sunbathing without a bra, and spending time in the sun, from 11 am to 4 pm. In addition, any overheating of the body can be an impetus to the formation of a cyst or to its degeneration, and not only in the chest. Therefore, visiting the sauna and bath is also not recommended.
What kind of conservative or folk treatment can be done? Any treatment has the right to appoint only a doctor. This is done after a comprehensive examination or after the performed operation.

I'm really excited about the Olympics. I really want to watch it, but we don't get NBC with our bunny ears. I was determined to get cable for the month, until I learned that it would cost $30 to set up the cable and, I'm guessing, about the same to un-set it when we cancelled service. I don't want to spend that much on TV, but I was really feeling down about missing the Olympics. Apparently, there's supposed to be a lot online?
But, here's the happy news. Matt's been wanting to join the school gym since he started grad school, and this semester he actually has time to do so. I've been wanting to work out without having it be one more thing I discipline myself to do alone (all that energy goes into writing). SO, I happily went and joined the gym as well, yesterday. I walked in, and what did I see?
TVs. Lots of them. If I only go to the gym for the next two weeks and spend the whole time walking on the treadmill, eyes fixed on NBC, it'll be worth it.

A Sweet 16 Birthday Cake for a Sweet Girl
For a sweet girl. This cake actually wasn't exactly suppose to come out like this. It was suppose to have one more tier on top. BUT! after putting the crumb coat on this cake, my right hand literally gave out. I didn't know what in the world happened...... this has never happened to me before! But all I could say, the next morning I couldn't even hold my coffee cup....it was that painful! My husband, whom lives with Tendinitis, says you are using your hand too much!
I wrapped it up put on the brace that my son once had when he broke his hand and let it rest the full day. I sat there and wondered "WOW, What would I do if I had no use of my right hand?!?!" I live to do artistic things; whether it be cakes, photography, digital art..... and to live in pain the way I was that day was really an eye opener in so many different ways. And WORK! By trade I'm an Esthetician and that would just put a HUGE damper on making a living.
The cake ended up being decorated on top of the crumb coat. Thank goodness I had all the elements done days prior. The ribbon wrapped around the bottom was suppose to be fondant. All in all the cake came out beautiful. The crumb coat could have been smoother but I had to work with the abilities my right hand had left me.
Danielle loved her cake and it was plenty to feed everyone, with some leftover. Cake flavor was Oreo Cookie with Oreo Cookie Vanilla filling.

DO YOU PIN? What is it and why do it?
Planning parties, weddings, photo-shoots, a trip,? Create a board for your favorite recipes, crafts, bucket list, favorite websites. <---------- These are all reasons you should pin.
- Remember that bedding set you loved and saved within your favorites folder? You go and look for it and you have to go through a bunch of different bookmarks spending wasted time figuring out which one it was. With Pinterest, you don't have that problem. You just go to the board you put it under, find the image you pinned. Easy Peasy!
- Are you remodeling a room in your home? Pin different ideas and when you need to refer to it, it's all on that board. Not to mention the links also with it….. Loving it
- I read my favorite blogs everyday and when I find something of interest, I pin it.
- Follow people located on Pinterest that have the same interest as you. You just follow the board they have and every time they add something it appears on the front page of your Pinterest as a new pin and you have a choice to repin it to one of your boards. Now you have the pin and the website where that pin is located.
- Put the Pin on your browsers toolbar so you can easily pin different sites on the web.
- When I see something I want to share on my Facebook or I want to Tweet it, I can easily do that while pinning, just check the box and it automatically embeds to your social network of choice.
I'm addicted. I have over 3,400 pins and it just grows and grows and grows. If you aren't pinning yet, then get started. I promise you, you will be addicted and it will be your main reference to things you find interest in. HAVE FUN!

As you are reading this, you are probably one of the millions of WOW players out there. World of Warcraft, or WOW, is the most played online game ever created. And as in any game, everything gets down to gold. Imagine how fast you could achieve higher levels and buy the things you need for your mission with a proper amount of gold.
Are you in dire need of gold to finish your quest? Are you getting bored and do not want to collect gold by venturing through the widespread war-worn world of Azeroth to get your epic mount? Stop worrying. There are a lot of WOW gold sellers online to assist you in your quest. But among genuine vendors, you need to choose a reliable one; at least you need safe gold and fast delivery.
WOW has its economy. The success in the World of Warcraft largely depends upon your purchasing skills and application of certain tricks while purchasing gold because this is the main currency that is used in WOW. You can purchase the gold currency of WOW either by paying real currency or farm the WOW gold by yourself.
There is a ridiculous number of overpriced, poorly supported, and just plain dangerous to buy from gold sellers on the internet. Even if you can find the cheapest, there is no guarantee that they are legitimate, or that they have enough gold for your server or faction, or most importantly, that they are safe to buy from. Trying to find out where you can buy WOW gold cheap and safe can be almost impossible too, because no one likes to admit they buy gold, so getting a good recommend action can be near to impossible.
So, let's talk about one of the biggest sites on the internet for buying WOW gold. I'm talking about PLs Game Mall. The first thing that needs to be considered is how safe the site is. There is no reason to consider anything else if you are in danger of fraud, stolen identity, etc., by buying from the site.
Why buy WOW Gold from PLS GAME MALL?
1. Legit Gold
PLS Game Mall's WOW Gold recourse is safe and legal, the gold come from quest and dungeon rewards.
There are two parts of website safety-how trustworthy the site is, and how secure the site is. PLS Game Mall scores high in both areas. There are little to no 'horror stories' connected to PLS Game Mall on the internet. They use industry standard security for their business, and are a legitimate business, not a scam. So you can relax about that bit; on to the other parts of the site. Now a lot of people move straight to price, but let's talk about some other things first. PLs Game Mall has pretty good availability, in other words a decent supply of gold for any server/faction. So you won't probably find yourself unable to buy from them because they've run out of gold on your server.
2. Fast delivery
They can deliver the gold in 15 minutes. We have more than 9 years (founded in 2008) of experience in the gaming and virtual currencies market, which allows us to provide the most professional service for your WOW Gold. Our traders are real players who can guarantee fast delivery. More than 90% orders are completed within 10 – 15 minutes. Both face to face trade and auction house trade are available. PLS Game Mall delivers on time; so you won't get afraid in completing your mission.
3. Nice Prices
We adjust our world of Warcraft gold prices in real-time according to market data (wholesale price and competitors prices), so you can buy WOW gold from us with reasonable prices.
4. Open reviews
You can review them online and search more reviews on Google. Tons of Positive reviews: We are constantly trying to improve our service by being honest, friendly, and helpful. We have been awarded by countless positive reviews from WOW gold customers over the years. You can read some of our reviews on Google to learn more about PLS Game Mall.
5. Legal business
Since 2008, trustful brand. PLS Game Mall have more than 9 years of experience in the gaming and virtual currencies market, which allows us to provide the most professional service for your WOW Gold as we are trustworthy.
6. 24*7 Live Chat Online
Our service is client oriented. We want to provide top quality service for a minimal WOW Gold price. That's why we read every review or suggestion so we can improve our service to meet customer's requirements. If you are not satisfied by the service provided, please write to our quality control department, and we will solve your problem and we also offer 24*7 live chat support.
7. No spam in game
There are no advertisements inside the game, as PLS Game mall keep the game environment healthy. Advertising in game chat window is making players uncomfortable no matter what channel they use, especially repeatedly posting. The window should show the battle information, raid chat, party chat or combat log but the ad are full of the small rectangle. It seriously affects the game's experience.
Buying game currency is breaking the term and condition of Blizzard(including the Battle.net and World of Warcraft). We strongly recommend that spend out the wow gold immediately after receiving them. PLS GAME MALL will NOT cover the loss in official gold-remove or gold-return action.

"A stylish hideaway in the Ronda mountains and a perfect choice for a supremely cosseted Andalucian house party (sleeps 14)"
A lofty, double-heighted dining room with twin staircases sweeping up to the drawing room and master bedroom sets the tone. There are 7 sumptuous bedrooms, 2 swimming pools, a games room and home cinema, a wine cellar and a state-of-the art kitchen, superbly set up for friends and families alike. Housekeepers are on hand to cater to your every need and Ronda is an easy drive away. Seductively southern and alluringly Andaluz, there's nowhere quite like La Morera for a memorable holiday with friends and family in one of the loveliest corners of southern Spain.
- La Morera's furnishings and fittings, many shipped in from top London stores, are both stylish and deeply comfortable
- The division of space has been managed to give each bedroom a maximum of privacy and its own slice of terrace
- The house is set amidst 5 acres of terraced gardens and orchards and its enormous infinity pool highlights the stunning mountain views
- You can self-cater or arrange for external caters to host meals, just ask
- This place is, quite literally, at the end of the road: Ronda is 10 minutes away yet the farm feels seductively remote
- Some of the bedrooms are in separate annexes below the main house, which means you need to brave the cold during the winter months
- A stay at La Morera isn't cheap but the rental price includes masses of extras like cleaning, a welcome hamper, WiFi internet and any spoils that you fancy from the organic veggie garden
- If you plan to stay during the summer you'll need to book well in advance

La Morera's bedrooms have a really intimate, private feel. Rooms 1 and 2 are in the main house whilst the other bedrooms are divided amongst 3 annexes, which drop down the hillside towards the infinity pool and gardens.
The queen bee is room 1, reached via a private staircase from the dining room. The main sleeping area has a queensize double, a roll-top bathtub and high, shuttered French windows which open onto a bridge taking you directly to the alberca pool. The bathroom has a walk-in rain shower.
Room 2 has lower ceilings but shares the same subdued decor: all white walls, chalky grey shutters and a terracotta tiled floor, pepped up by Moroccan rugs. It has a bathtub and a walk-in rain shower in its bathroom and French windows lead out to the smaller pool.
The remaining rooms are across the cobbled courtyard in the annexe nearest to the house. Rroom 3 has a cosy feel, enhanced by a wood-burning stove in the old hearth, and shares a terrace with room 4. Both have double or twin beds, freestanding wardrobes and shower bathrooms. Room 4 also has the advantage of long views out across the valley while room 3 looks towards the courtyard.
Furthest from the main house, room 5 and 7 are in the annexe with the games room / home cinema and second kitchen. Room 7 is a simple twin room with adjacent shower, but room 5 is really rather romantic. An Indonesian four-poster bed takes centre stage, whilst the shower room feels lifted straight from a Moroccan riad (accessed via a keyhole arched doorway with eye-catching geometric floor tiles). Shuttered doors lead out to a private valley-facing terrace which, in turn, leads to the shaded dining terrace that fronts the games room.
Finally, nearest to the main pool, the third annex houses room 6. More of a freestanding suite, it has a valley facing terrace, a private living room on the lower level (with a sofabed), and a bathroom with a bathtub and rain shower.
All beds are dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets, with top-spec mattresses, and you can expect a pile of towels as well as a second set for use by the pool. Expect to arrive to an immaculately clean room pepped up by freshly cut flowers from La Morera's huge terraced gardens.
Features include:
- Air conditioning
- Barbecue
- CD player
- Central heating
- Cots Available
- Dishwasher
- Extra beds
- Fridge
- Full kitchen
- Hairdryer
- Microwave

La Morera's bespoke kitchen is on of the best we've come across in a rental property, and was masterfully pieced together by joint owner Richard Becher, who has fitted out some of London's best-known restaurants. If you were looking for a location to shoot a food programme this is a great space to work in.
As well as a central island - which makes cooking both practical and sociable - you're treated to twin fridges, a microwave, a huge top-of-the-range hob and oven, an ice-making machine and every conceivable kitchen gadget (including 3 dishwashers!). The adjoining dining room, where a Douglas Fir table (seats 14) takes central stage, is its perfect partner: any meal here couldn't fail to be a special occasion.
Basic ingredients are provided to help you self-cater, and there's a small supermarket in Arriate, 5km away. Ronda offers a larger supermarket.
When we visited, we opted to let caters handle the cooking. We ate in La Morera's fabulous dining room, but meals often move to the vine terrace in good weather. Breakfasts and lunches can be provided, as well as BBQs and special celebratory feasts: just let them know about your wish list prior to arrival.
If you prefer to head out to eat, there are several excellent little restaurants a short drive from La Morera. You really are spoiled for choice when it comes to tapas bars in Ronda, recommendations include Bar Maestre, Faustino, La Giralda and Casa Mateo.

- Dishwasher
- Fridge
- Full kitchen

- Shoot a game of pool, play table football and ping-pong, then choose from an amazing selection of DVDs: the home cinema comes with surround sound as well as a full complement of satellite channels
- Spend a day in the company of Peter Jones, one of Spain's top ornithologists - he lives just along the valley. La Morera's owners can arrange this and a whole host of other activities: massage, hot-air ballooning, tennis, rafting, golf, sailing, windsurfing, riding...

As my sister and I always say (we're the only ones on the planet, apparently, who know where this reference comes from), I feel like the bear on the Donald Duck cartoon:
(just watch the first 3 or 4 seconds - from 2:18 to 2:20 - and you'll get the idea)
So, meanwhile, still I find my way back to...well, to me, I've been trying to mimic other artists styles. This week I've Barbara Gilhoolyed, Sabrina Ward Harrisoned, Line Juhl Hansened. Yesterday I was Mary Ann Wakeleying and today I'm Casey Matthewing. Well, they do say that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, right?
I hope that, by copying other artists, I'll end up finding me. What I like, my way, my voice.

The story in Syria is still quite simple for all attempts at muddying the waters, motives and intentions: the Assads are trying to survive by doing everything they can to plunge the country into civil strife. The international community has an obligation to stop them, something that cannot be done by leaving protesters to fend for themselves or by adopting the Assads' version of events.
Thursday February 16, 2012
Today's death toll: 70, including 19 political detainees who were executed by loyalist militias along the Ariha-Jisr Ashoughour Highway in Idlib Province. 12 more were killed in the town of Kafrenboudeh in Hama Province, 3 in the town of Madaya In Rural Damascus. More deaths reported in Deraa City and Albou Kamal (Deir Ezzor Province) and in Homs City as well as the towns of Houleh, Rastan and Qusayr in Homs Province.
The bombing campaign against Baba Amr and Insha'aat neighborhoods in Homs City has witnessed further instantiation.
More locals have been arrested in Zabadani, amidst worsening humanitarian conditions. 4 loyalist troops were killed in clashes with rebels in Hama Province.
In Damascus City, a major funeral for an activist killed by loyalist militias came under fire.
More high level defections continue to take place, with Major General Fayiz Amr coming as the latest case. In taped statements. Maj. Gen. Amr confirmed the use of poison gas against protesters in Rastan but "on a limited scale." He also spoke of the presence of Iranian advisors taking active part in planning the ongoing crackdown.
Important Note: There is much confusion concerning the official website of the SNC. So let me clarify this: the first result that comes on the search engine is not it and is actually a fake website meant to discredit the SNC by making seem that it is connected to Al-Qaeda. This here is an Arabic website created early on by people affiliated with the SNC but is not the official the website of the SNC. This is the official website of the SNC.
Op-Eds & Special Reports
I just wish that a different title was used in this Washington Post article. Syrian resistance leaders have no sympathy or ties to Al-Qaeda. Moreover, what James Clapper actall;y said does not allow for this sweeping assertion. He said that the attacks in Damascus and Aleppo bear 'all the earmarks of an al-Qaida-like attack.' Previously, intelligence officials said that they have no conclusive evidence to say that these were indeed Al-Qaeda attacks. In other words, what we have here are theories and suppositions, and that's how they should be reported.
Let's not forget here what we know about the Assad regime:
· They have staged in-country terrorist attacks before, especially when they needed to detract attention away from their troubling behavior (the attack on the U.S. Embassy in 2006, among others that took place in that period)
· They have from the very beginning of their current predicament shown that their main plan calls for plunging the country into a sectarian quagmire. As such, they are the greatest beneficiaries of such attacks.
· Previous intelligence reports dating back from the 2003 onward have shown that the Assads have managed to infiltrate Al-Qaeda network in the Levant, effectively taking control of it and manipulating it to their interest.
· Ever since the beginning of the Revolution, the Assad have released hundreds of jihadi elements that they have had languishing in their prisons, including the Al-Qaeda Number Four and the mastermind of the 7/7 attacks in Madrid.
So, if there is AQ activity in Syria, it's not a case of the chicken coming home to roost but of clientalism and manipulation taking to the next level. Jihadi networks, including Al-Qaeda, have for long been one of the main weapons the Assads have in their arsenals. If they are active in country now, we know who to blame, if we choose to analyze things with our minds wide open. Otherwise, we're better off shutting our Clapper.
As I follow up on the Skype call I helped arrange at Foundation for Defense of Democracies between resistance leaders on the ground in Rural Damascus and Washingtonian policy experts and members of the media, I facilitated communications with one of those leaders, Muhhamd Zuka (AKA Mohamad Zoka), and translated an article by him highlighting the main demands and expectations of the Syrian resistance to Assad rule at this stage, as well as serving to introduce us to these rebels.
"The world has no reason to be afraid of us. This revolution was launched to reclaim the future for freedom and democracy. For this, we should be engaged and supported. We are not one color, but a rainbow, committed to protecting our national diversity and the values of tolerance for which Syrian society has always been known -- not because the world wants it, but because it is our heritage. Had we had any other agenda, the world would have already seen signs of that on the ground. It has been almost a year since the revolution began, yet, despite the regime's provocations, we remain committed to national unity, and we shall not waver."
Defections on the increase all over the country: These are just a few of the defections that took place over the last 2 days only

Rallies continue to take place all over the country as they have been over the last few months. Student rallies (high school and junior high students) in particular have become part of daily life, often compensating for failure by adults to stage their own due to heavy security presence. By now clips of these rallies have become too familiar which is why I am not covering them as much as I used below both in order to save time, as well as to keep the focus on the main events.
