LG main board?
Model Number: WM0532HW Brand: -other- Age: 5 - 10 years
My LG washer is completely dead, the fuse was blown but after I reset it the washer wouldn't power on. From reading previous posts I think I know what to do (replace the mainboard AP4440233/6871ER1023R), but I want to get confirmation. The "electrical noise reducer" doesn't look like other pictures I found, but I can see a coil inside wrapped in copper so I assume that's it. It's putting out 120V on the BR or BL wire (can't tell which due to all the tape) to the mainboard. I removed all the other plugs that lead off the board (but not the ones that lead to the LCD display) and confirmed those sockets are all 0 V on every pin. It looks like there's an LED on the board, it's dark. The exploded diagrams are so grainy I can't tell much, but they make it look like the "mainboard" is really two pieces, the board and the LCD display/buttons. I'm ordering the right piece right, just the board and not the LCD? I know you can't diagnose/guess over the Internet, but do you have any feelings that after I replace this part I'll just expose some other dead part? My wife is all about buying a new washer instead and the cost of just this board would go a long way towards that. I'm concerned because several weeks ago I found water in the tray under the washer. I suspect someone overloaded/unbalanced the washer and kept resetting it (which is how I overflowed it last year and discovered the old tray was cracked) but no one will fess up. Or it's not that at all. There was nothing in the trap, and it didn't leak any of the times I used it before it died. Related Models |

Tree Trimming
Introduction to Tree Trimming
Trees are essential components of outdoor beauty, but cannot reach their full potential without proper upkeep and maintenance. Trimming trees is a fundamental aspect of tree growth and development, and that's why Tree Doctors specializes in pruning branches and buds in order to keep your trees healthy and in shape. Our Toronto tree trimming business also specializes in trimming fruit trees, both to beautify the trees and to engender more fruit production.
Tree trimming is a delicate process that is essentially the strategic targeted removal of damaged, dead, stagnant, structurally unsound, or diseased parts of the tree that are in some way inhibiting its growth, appearance, or functionality. Sound complex? It can be, which is why a licensed arborist is the perfect choice! If you're in the Toronto area and would like free advice on how we can help you with your tree trimming needs, call us at 416-201-8000 and our licensed arborists will help you decide on the proper course of action for all trees on your property.When Does a Tree Need Trimming?
Tree trimming serves a variety of purposes, and needs to be done to:
- Removing dead wood for aesthetic value.
- Removing certain carefully chosen branches in order to encourage healthy growth.
- Removing certain diseased or damaged branches in order to save the tree and to prevent branches from falling and damaging property.
- Removing certain auxiliary branches in order to develop the shapeliness of the tree.
Professional Tree Trimming
What many people don't know is that tree trimming is a very complex art that takes both knowledge and a creative eye to be done correctly. Not everyone can properly trim a tree – it takes years of experience, and while anyone can take a pair of sheers to his or her tree, it takes a licensed arborist to do the job properly and correctly. Without proper training, people run the risk of stagnating the tree's growth, or severely damaging it.
We have all of the necessary equipment and expertise to trim any variety of tree you may have. We're particularly good at trimming hard-to-reach trees, and difficult jobs are our specialty. Our Toronto tree services are covered by full-range liability insurance of up to $5,000,000, and we are pleased to provide all insurance certificates as well as references upon request. We're confident you won't find a more economic tree trimming Toronto service, and to prove this, we'll beat any written quote produced by any licensed tree service company in the GTA!If you are interested in tree trimming services call us at 416-201-8000 , Visit Our Contact Page or Request a Free, No Obligation Estimate.
We are looking forward to helping you with all your tree trimming needs!

What if you took 15 credits online before attending college–basically, one semester of courses? You'd save over $7,000!
Online | Residential | |
Tuition | $2,820 | $6,390 |
Room/Board | $0 | $3,275 |
Fees | $175 | $580 |
Total | $2,995 | $10,245 |
If you're a high school junior or senior, you will automatically receive a discount of 50% off the tuition for each college course you take online. These courses can be transferred to another college or used at Maranatha.
How High School Discounts Work
- Once you receive one discount for a class, you are pre-approved to use the same discount for another course, provided the course has class openings. You will forfeit the discount for the next class, if you receive lower than a C- in the previous course and will need to reapply for the discount.
- Discounts may be applied for any course up until July 15 after you graduate from high school. (The class may finish after July 15, but you need to be enrolled in it and have paid for it by the 15th.)
Note: If you have not paid for the course within one week prior to the first day of class, you might lose your seat in the course. (See refunds and financial policies.)
Parent Testimonial
"Our daughter had dual-credited online classes with MBU for a year prior to being on campus. Just wanted to commend you on that program, down to every detail, has been a great experience.
Exceptional teachers, great online system, amazing staff from the online dept. to the teachers, and a great way to get ready for college transition.
Thank you!"

Knowing what to say and how to respond during a crisis is crucial to maintaining your company's good name.
It was about a year ago when Tony Hayward, then CEO of oil giant BP, made an unwise comment in the wake of a tragic explosion and massive oil spill. While the spill was still in the process of being contained, Hayward spoke to a reporter saying, "There's no one who wants this thing over more than I do. I'd like my life back." The world responded with outrage, condemning his comments as selfish and insensitive to all those affected by the environmental catastrophe. A few months later Hayward resigned.
Most small businesses will never find themselves in the same position as BP, however mistakes and other unfortunate situations can happen to any company. Knowing what to say and how to respond is crucial to maintaining an organization's good name. Further effective communication strategies are not only needed when dealing with clients and the public, but also for internal staff as well.
Planning what you're going to say
It's easier to say the right thing if you know what you want to accomplish. It's also good to prepare in advance. You can actually visualize a positive outcome along with a few acceptable alternatives and script the dialogue that will get you to your goal. Having such a plan will enable you to feel more in control in what might perhaps be a chaotic situation. In Lifescripts for Managers—edited by Stephen M. Pollan and Mark Levin—the authors assert that "by scripting, you ensure that conversation will stay on track…lifescripts help pave the way for smoother workplace relations and better office communications."
There are several elements to an ethical apology according to Keith Michael Heartit author of Crisis Management by Apology. An ethical apology is truthful, sincere, timely, voluntary, addresses all stakeholders and is performed in an appropriate context.
In terms of the content of the communication, Heartit states that an ethical apology seeks reconciliation. "An ethical apology will help to effect the repair of the injured relationship…it is in the best interest of all involved to get back to where the relationship was…or to make it better, by starting over with the insights that come from having weathered a storm in the relationship." This is, of course, if the relationship was mutually beneficial to begin with, writes Heartit.
Delivering bad news
If you've had to communicate something unpleasant, according to Susan F. Benjamin author of Perfect Phrases for Dealing with Difficult Situations at Work, it's best to address the situation in person instead of in an email or letter. If you are present, you can observe the audience's response and manage your comments accordingly, writes Benjamin. "If they look alarmed…you can put them at ease with a comment, smile or sympathetic look. Not so with writing. They may be shrieking with rage or nodding with sad understanding—how would you know?"
When bringing up the controversial subject in a meeting, Benjamin suggests you start out warmly saying something like "I think it's important that you know…" Then tell them the bad news.

We Support Read International!
Big Yellow Self Storage has been happy to give a helping hand to Read International, a fantastic charity and the UK's one-stop-shop for book donations. They have crafted a hugely inspiring network of students who volunteer at 45 universities across Britain accepting any disused books from anyone and everyone and then ship these to Tanzania and Uganda. These much needed donations give kids in these countries the chance to benefit from books that their schools could never usually afford.
Over 564,000 books have been shipped to date, a great success for them! Because they're so successful in their donation drives that they acquire a large amount of books before they're all ready for shipping without having the facilities to store them all. This is where we have been able to help with the cause as we've donated space where Read International can house these, sort them and get them ready for shipping. We're delighted to work with Read International and help them with their great achievements.
To find out how you can get active with READ International or donate books to the project please visit their Facebook group.
Recently our Norwich & Edinburgh branches helped Read International deliver a vast stock of books, view the images in our slide show below.

City analysts held firm to the belief that the Monetary Policy Committee could raise interest rates next month even though minutes published yesterday showed that its nine members had voted unanimously for no change at last month's meeting.
City analysts held firm to the belief that the Monetary Policy Committee could raise interest rates next month even though minutes published yesterday showed that its nine members had voted unanimously for no change at last month's meeting.
Nor did figures reporting weaker than expected sales on the high street in September dent expectations of a further increase in the cost of borrowing.
Most economists pointed to earnings growth above the Bank's 4.5 per cent comfort threshold, revealed by figures published after the last MPC meeting, as the main concern. Pay rises were also highlighted as a danger by the Chancellor in his Mais Lecture earlier this week.
"The MPC will not want to risk headline average earnings coming in above 4.5 per cent for a third successive month without having made another pre-emptive strike," said Adam Law of Barclays Capital.
Economists also expect figures due tomorrow to show the economy expanding by 0.8 per cent in the third quarter, a marked pick-up from earlier in the year.
"Given the economy's soft landing, it will not be long before such growth rates use up what spare capacity there is, putting upwards pressure on prices," said Richard Iley at ABN-Amro.
According to the minutes of the 6-7 October meeting , higher market interest rates, higher fixed mortgage rates and the increase in the pound since the surprise rate rise in September were all reasons for holding the official rate unchanged.
The minutes also addressed the possibility that structural change in the economy meant higher growth would not lead to as much of a rise in inflation as in the past.
This was the conclusion drawn by DeAnne Julius, one of the most prominent MPC doves, in a speech at the University of Birmingham yesterday.
She said: "There is considerable evidence in the UK to suggest that long-term structural changes are bringing effective downward pressures to bear on prices and margins even during times of relatively robust demand." I
Yesterday's figures painted a picture of healthy economic growth. A modest 0.1 per cent rise in retail sales volumes in September left the 3-month growth rate unchanged at 1.3 per cent. The Office for National Statistics said the underlying trend had picked up in recent months. Food sales increased while sales of clothing and household goods declined during September.
Separate figures for bank and building society lending in September showed mortgage lending remained, at £7.9bn, substantially higher than a year earlier, although it dipped from August's level.
The Council of Mortgage Lenders said the housing market had reached a plateau.

I totally agree with what Cereza wrote. We had the same experience, and the dry down totally smelled like a musky bowl of flowers. Ugh, why!? This would have been perfect to wear on a hot summer day if the coconut notes stayed true. It gets a little jarring towards the middle, because it does smell generic like Britney Spears Curious. Your left wondering "is this the same perfume"?
Zuma, my second foray into the Yosh limited edition Anthropologie California Aromascapes series, is another success, to my nose.
Here we have a fairly heady white floral with a tropical vibe. The coconut is definitely detectable, and I was reminded immediately upon application of Serge Lutens Datura Noir, but this composition seems more balanced and less overwhelming. Zuma offers a streamlined, gentler version of the white flower + coconut theme. The text on the box reads "Bronze and brazen," but fortunately this does not smell at all like suntan lotion!
The unisex classification of this perfume can only be some sort of political statement. Perhaps Yosh Han believes that all perfume is unisex? That's the only explanation that I can come up with. To me, this big bouquet of coconut-laced white flowers (of all things!) is unambiguously feminine.
ZUMA is such a tropical, pretty coconut scent! It opened creamy, rich, milky and very gourmand. It had a bit of pina colada vibe and I was simply loving it. I think this will appeal to many people.
Unfortunately around 3 hours in it turns to be a very generic tropical flowers + musk scent with no coconut left. I've felt this sour flower+musk mix many, many times before.
Staying power is excellent, around 8 hours, I would wish though to have more of the coconut pina colada goodness and less of the musky bowl of flowers.

Call Me
After yesterday's run I realized that I need to make some big changes if I want to finish my next marathon under 5 hours. I'm running about the same pace I've been running for long distance training for at least 2 years, give or take a few minutes here and there. Not much has changed in my training, mostly because I've been afraid of the pain associated with arthritis, which is a big concern. I'm leaning towards joining a group or some sort of coach, just so I know I'm doing everything right. I realize I need to do so much more if I want to achieve more. You would think I would already know this, since I've been through the plateau thing before with weight loss, gaining muscle and weight training. It's really time to make a change.
AND... After yesterday's run, I found out that Anne (Run-DMZ) was at the same location with a training group! I wished I would have been a little nosey and asked what all the groups were about! I could have ran up to say hello. Oh well. I suppose there will be a next time.

There are several groups training in and around Mission Bay right now for the RnR in June (I assume that's the marathon you're referring to). My track club's program sold out in December, but I do know there are several others that may still have openings, like West Coast Road Runners and InMotion. However, another idea is to run with this group called Run with Greg. I've been tempted to join up with them since my friends say it's a great group.
And since I'm first -- the title's from a song by BLONDIE. Yes? Could it be I finally got one!!!! - 8:07 AM
- Pamela said...
Good job there Anne! Yep it's Blondie alright! & running with a Group sounds like a fun thing!
- KatieFeldmom said...
Just checking in!!!!!
Very cool phone!
Regarding your run...I remember that area when we were in SD last summer. It is so nice!!!!!! - 2:34 PM
- Irene said...
Thanks for the info. I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I'll check out Greg's group. :) WINNER!!!!!!
It would be fun to get in with a running group, even if it's a monthly thing.
So far, the phone has been a good upgrade. When the kids were little we would take them to that particular park to ride bikes. - 5:55 PM
- barbie2be said...
i did a five mile walk on friday afternoon in 1:13. i feel pretty good about that. it means that if i can keep a decent pace on the hayes street hill i should be about to walk the bay to breakers in 1:30 or so. yippee!
- Evelyne said...
Great looking phone. I love fiddling with new stuff like that. Have fun with it!
- Irene said...
That's a pretty fast walk! My brother is still trying to get me to do B2B, he's in Fremont, but it's right before the SDRNR Marathon...
I was LONG overdue for an upgrade. I had a minor glitch with the V-Cast thingy, but a few minutes with tech support and a fix from the internet got it working. :) - 10:46 PM
I've noticed that phone! It looks red hot! Let us know if you like it, and how long it takes to learn to use it. ;)

Kickstarter Katchup – 21st July 2013
July 21st - via: rockpapershotgun.com
There have been plenty of weeks with no losers and several winners, but I can't remember compiling this column and finding losers without winners to sit above them. There are lots of projects that are readying themselves for a spot in the winners' section though, propped on the podium, parading their plaudits. Dungeonmans and Tangiers are my current favourites, with Monochroma not far behind. It's a busy week though and there should be something for everyone. Except sports fans. Nothing for sports fans. Probably the least Kickstarted genre actually. Licensing issues to blame? (Read More)

Indie developer Andrew "darkfalzx" Bado has been plugging away on his pixelated metroidvania adventure Legend of Iya for the better part of two decades and the finish line is starting to come into focus.

The Legend of Iya began as a childish project in the former-Soviet Union, 25-years ago, the work of a ten-year old boy, Andrew Bado, learning to code on a ZX Spectrum. Bado, now a professional pixel artist working for various games companies, has spent the last decade rebuilding the game in more lush tones, rebooting it, never quite finding the time to finish his pet project.

Creating your own salon floor plan will be a fun, learning challenge. Designing it yourself is a valuable, worthwhile experience. The floor plan you create will be uniquely yours, tailored to your specific work habits and organised to take advantage of how you prefer to work. Your salon floor plan is limited only by your imagination, budget and available work space. Put your thoughts together and watch your concept become reality with limited anxiety and stress.
- Skill level:
- Moderate
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Measuring tape
- Graph paper
- 3-D Computer-aided design program (optional)
Show More
- 1
Visit at least five different salons in your area. Pay close attention to how each is laid out. Ask to stand in the actual work areas. Note the things you like and dislike about each work station within each facility you visit. Look for any duplicated effort due to poor work area arrangement. For instance, remember to note any wasted time and energy walking back and forth between closely related tasks.
- 2
Take careful interior measurements in the building where your salon will be located. Determine the type of services you will offer, given your total work space. Consider if you are planning a full service salon with added services like tanning, or if you desire a more specialised list of salon services. Sketch out on paper roughly where available space is needed to deliver your services.
- 3
Stand in your future salon and envision your colour scheme, entrance, receptionist counter and waiting areas. Keep in mind customer essentials like privacy, conference areas, waiting room and public bathroom facilities. Add these different components to your rough sketch one at a time, actually standing, sitting and walking to and between the differently designated areas. This will give you a realistic idea of the day-to-day functionality.
- 4
Measure and draw in these areas you have sketched on paper onto the actual floor. Stand physical objects in these areas to get a better idea of how the available space is utilised, and how it will look when everything is in place. When you get everything arranged as you want it, refer to and use one of the many 3-D computer imaging programs available to confirm your decisions. Often, these 3-D images will reveal heretofore unseen areas of needed change and improvement to your concept.
- 5
Select a builder. Seek out contractors who have recently completed such a building project. Make physical visits to these finished jobs and question the owners about their degree of satisfaction with their finished product. Especially note any difficulties or unresolved issues with that particular builder. Visit only licensed, bonded builders with your sketch in hand. Discuss your plan thoroughly with them. Based on those discussions, enter into a builder's contract for services and watch your salon dreams become reality.
Tips and warnings
- Be realistic with your plans. Work and stay within your budget. Resist expensive additions, and communicate daily with your builder to avoid any tear downs and rebuilds.
- Even though it is the builder's responsibility, make sure he has properly permitted and licensed each phase of the building project.
- You must have a CO (Certificate of Occupancy) from your local building inspector before moving in and opening your business.

"Mindfulness, the aware, balanced acceptance of present experience, is at the heart of what the Buddha taught." —Sylvia Boorstein
Ayya Anandabodhi first encountered the Buddha's teachings in her early teens, igniting a deep interest in the Buddha's Path of Awakening. She lived and trained as a nun the Forest Tradition at Amaravati and Chithurst monasteries in England from 1992 until 2009, when she moved to the US to help establish Aloka Vihara, a training monastery for women. Her practice and teaching are guided by early Buddhist scriptures and through nature's pure and immediate Dhamma. In 2011 she took full Bhikkhuni Ordination, joining the growing number of women who are reclaiming this path in the Theravada tradition. She currently resides at Aloka Vihara, near Placerville, CA.Visit www.saranaloka.org for more information.

The title of this post is exactly what came out of my mouth (at a very high frequency, I might add), when I opened my early birthday present from my hubby and found this baby nestled inside.
Seriously. I have been using my husbands old point-and-click pocket sized camera for the past 2 years of blogging. And while it was very sweet of him to let me hijack his camera (thanks babe!) I'm SOOOO happy to finally have a camera that captures exactly what it sees. Especially since our house is rather dark to begin with, it is so nice to have a camera that actually functions well in low light. Also, thanks to the Optical Image Stabilization, no more blurry pictures ever again! I'm no photographer, so I won't get into all the gory details. I will just let the photos speak for themselves.
So here's a "Before" with our old camerama:
But now, I don't have to use the flash! And I can get awesome pictures! This camera makes my house look better, and you know I love that.
I'm so excited to use this camera from now on and get a better quality of photos for this little blog of mine! I love that I can take 1 amazing picture as opposed to 50 crappy ones. Ok, end of spiel. How about you? What kind of camera do you use for blogging?
12 comments:
That is so exciting!!! We splurged on a Canon Eos Rebel XS about a year ago and I am in love with it! We also picked up an external flash which is awesome for taking pictures on cloudy days or in the rooms that don't get much natural light. I can turn it to bounce the light off of the ceiling so that the light is diffused and doesn't wash everything out. It was a bit pricey but I recently heard about this $30 alternative: http://www.iheartnaptime.net/2011/02/sundae-scoop-w-light-scoop.html Just something you might be interested in at some point. I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see the new pics!
ReplyDeleteCindy- That's so awesome that you were able to buy your dad's camera! Don't worry, I'm in the same boat as you. I love taking pictures but really have absolutely NO idea what I'm doing!
Jane- Thanks! I know, I can't believe how pricy cameras used to be. Josh got this one for less than I paid for my old point-and-click 5 years ago. So crazy!
Megan- That sounds amazing. I need to check that out! It would be so nice to get a little more light in our space for taking better pictures. Sounds like a great alternative!Congratulations! There is a significant difference between the old and new camera!
I use my Nikon D90 for my blog photos, but that's definitely not what I started with. I used to have a Sony Cybershot. That was the camera that taught me to love photography. Then I upgraded to my mom's DSLR Olympus and I learned that being able to tell the camera how to take the picture changes everything. I've never looked back.
I used to be in the same boat as you and Cindy though. That DSLR confused me to the point of frustration in the beginning. I took a class a local community college and did lots and lots of research online. It made all the difference!
Anyway, this is turning into a novel (but what else would you expect from me when you blog about photography?). I wish you many wonderful photos!Ashley- Thanks for the comment! It's neat to hear about your experiences with photography from a professional level! I had a Sony Cybershot for a while too. =) Taking a class sounds like it was a really good idea. I've thought about that too, but I'm just not sure if it's something I should invest in quite yet.
Jenn- Thanks! I'm so amazed by the difference a new camera makes, hopefully it will help me be a better blogger too. =)

Second Annual Search for America's Next Noted Novelist to Join the Ranks of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edgar Allan Poe, and Kurt Vonnegut
Contact: Ryan Settler
Indianapolis (April 9, 2013)— F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby, is once again celebrated in movie theaters this summer and as a contributor to The Saturday Evening Post Fitzgerald penned almost 70 short stories which defined an era. Now budding fiction writers across the country have the opportunity to contribute to one of the staples of American literature. The Post has announced its "2014 Great American Fiction Contest." The competition offers aspiring writers the opportunity to have their work appear on the same hallowed pages as famous Post contributors John Steinback, William Faulkner, Kurt Vonnegut, Agatha Christie; Ray Bradbury, Louis L'Amour, Sinclair Lewis, Jack London; Anne Tyler; and Edgar Allan Poe.
"Writing is a passion for many of our readers, and the incentive to be published in The Saturday Evening Post brings out people's best work. This competition serves as a reminder that in today's world of rapidly evolving technology, there still is a place in our society for great writing and we are proud to showcase it," said Editorial Director and Associate Publisher Steven Slon.
Sponsored by the nonprofit the Saturday Evening Post Society, the contest is designed to promote fiction and creative writing, while uncovering some of America's great unpublished voices. The winning story will be published in the January/February 2014 issue of The Saturday Evening Post and on the magazine's website. The winner will also be awarded $500, and five runners-up will receive $100 each and have their stories published online.
Entries must be character- or plot-driven stories in any genre of fiction that falls within the Post's broad range of interests. Entrants must be previously unpublished authors (excluding personal websites and blogs) and stories must be 1,500-5,000 words in length. All submissions should be made electronically in Microsoft Word format with the author's name, address, telephone number and email address on the first page. The Saturday Evening Post editorial staff in consultation with the magazine's fiction advisory board will judge the stories. There is a $10 entry fee and all entries must be postmarked by July 1, 2013.
For more information or to submit a story, please visit saturdayeveningpost.com/fiction-contest.
About The Saturday Evening Post: For nearly 300 years, The Saturday Evening Post has chronicled American history in the making—reflecting the distinctive characteristics and values that define the American way. Tracing its roots to Benjamin Franklin, The Saturday Evening Post mirrors cherished American ideals and values, most memorably illustrated by its iconic cover artist Norman Rockwell. The Post is also known for publishing such literary greats as Ray Bradbury, Agatha Christie, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edgar Allan Poe, J.D. Salinger, and Kurt Vonnegut, and continues to seek out and discover emerging writers of the 21st century. Headquartered in Indianapolis, the Post is a publication of the nonprofit Saturday Evening Post Society, which also publishes the award-winning youth magazines Turtle, Humpty Dumpty, and Jack and Jill.
"As the nation changed, the Post changed, but it looks to its past as a fertile ground for its future." —Starkey Flythe, Jr., Former Post Executive Editor

Report Outline Outstanding Roll Calls in the House Special Focus
Votes of all members of Congress upon important questions decided by formal roll call during the second session of the 74th Congress are shown, in geographical arrangement, in the two major tables on the following pages. A political analysis of leading Senate roll calls is given below.
Of the major legislation considered during the session, the bonus bill, the soil conservation bill, and the relief appropriation bill commanded the largest Senate majorities. The last two of these measures were opposed, however, by majorities of the Republican members present and voting. The closest votes came on the Florida ship canal. Majorities of both parties voted against the Passamaquoddy project. The Frazier-Lemke bill was defeated by Democratic votes, the Republicans dividing evenly. Only one Republican vote was cast for the tax bill on first passage, and only 4 for adoption of the conference report. Only two Republicans voted to take up the revised Guffey bill. A majority of the Republicans voted to return control of relief to the states.
Outstanding Roll Calls in the House
The following pages give the votes of all members of the House of A Representatives in sixteen leading roll calls of the 1936 session. The geographical arrangement is the same as in the preceding Senate table.

@monkeyking1969 I agree on all your points. I feel like this is what KickStarter should always have been. A place to fund projects created by people who wouldn't have the chance to do this otherwise.
What you said about the Take This Project panel was spot on. To see someone who is so good at choosing the right words everywhere else in his life not be able to even speak, it was oddly more powerful than anything he possibly could have said. It was so sad seeming him up there pouring his heart and no one trying to comfort him, I was so close to jumping over the rows in front of me just to give him one.
Went to school with the dudes from Fall of Troy and was pretty good friends with the lead singer of the Blood Brothers, pretty cool to see that they're getting some work after they both split.
Hey just created my Waterson character the name is "CPTRockAndOrRoll" and I'll be playing for most of the next hour.
It sounds like a lot of the people in the comment section who were complaining about this hate the reality of the word and try to block it out. But that's not how things work in reality, that's something a five year old does. But, I'm assuming of course, that most of the people who frequent this site are older than 16 and are either adults or are about to become adults. When that happens you need to take responsibility for yourself and for your peers actions because if you don't you're just as guilty as them. It's truly disheartening to see so many people acknowledge that there is a problem but then immediately turn their back on it."Be the [fuckin'] change you wish to see in the world."-Ghandi
Is it possible to create gifs from videos on the site, in particular Quick Look videos? I really want that helicopter crash in the new Ravaged QL as a gif, it was way to funny.
You should start with some sort of object oriented programming languages, like java or C++. I would even suggest with something Python or Ruby on Rails. Those two are a little easier to grasp but not nearly as powerful or robust.

A model-data based systems approach to process intensification
Publication: Research › Conference abstract for conference – Annual report year: 2012
In recent years process intensification (PI) has attracted much interest as a potential means of process improvement to meet the demands, such as, for sustainable production. A variety of intensified equipment are being developed that potentially creates options to meet these demands. Their developments, however, are largely due to experiment based trial and error approaches and while they do not require validation, they can be time consuming and resource intensive. Also, one may ask, can a truly new intensified unit operation be obtained in this way? An alternative two-stage approach is to apply a model-based synthesis method to systematically generate and evaluate alternatives in the first stage and an experiment-model based validation in the second stage. In this way, the search for alternatives is done very quickly, reliably and systematically over a wide range, while resources are preserved for focused validation of only the promising candidates in the second-stage. This approach, however, would be limited to intensification based on "known" unit operations, unless the PI process synthesis/design is considered at a lower level of aggregation, namely the phenomena level. That is, the model-based synthesis method must employ models at lower levels of aggregation and through combination rules for phenomena, generate (synthesize) new intensified unit operations. An efficient solution procedure for the synthesis problem is needed to tackle the potentially large number of options that would be obtained. Here, established procedures for computer aided molecular design is adopted since combination of phenomena to form unit operations with desired objectives is, in principle, similar to combining atoms to form molecules with desired properties. The concept of the phenomena-based synthesis/design method for process intensification will be presented together with illustrations of its application through case studies. Aspects such as need for models, computer-aided framework, the work-flow and data-flow for the PI synthesis method will also be highlighted.

Activity note: No physically demanding activities are scheduled. Our property does border the C&O Canal for those who are eager to get out and hike on their own.
Dinner: Enjoy a buffet-style dinner with a salad bar, followed by dessert, in the Shepherd's Spring lodge dining room.
Evening: Become familiarized with the program, the facility and one another during our general orientation.Get acquainted with the Appalachian Trail through a presentation by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. A patchwork of private, state and federal lands makes this National Park unique. Follow the trail through 13 states as we learn about the partnerships that make this park work.
Activity note: This day's hike is approximately 8.5 miles long covering over 900 feet in elevation change. This section of the AT is very rocky terrain and sure footing is needed. Most of the significant elevation changes are downhill. This is our Pennsylvania hike.
Breakfast: Enjoy a hot buffet-style breakfast along with fresh fruit and cereal selections in the Shepherd's Spring lodge dining room. Pack your own lunch from the variety of options available.
Morning: Ride into Pennsylvania for the start of our hike at the area known as Big Flats. Lunch is enjoyed about five miles down the trail at one of the AT shelters. We hike through Michaux State Forest and lovely hemlock groves.
Lunch: Delve into the lunch you've packed and carried at the Tom's Run Shelter along the trail.
Afternoon: Continue the hike through the Pennsylvania rocks. A WWII POW camp nestled along the mountain is part of the scenery - along with the midpoint of the AT. A stop at the AT Museum at the end of the day - and if the general store is open, do the thru hiker challenge of 1/2 gallon of ice cream! (Also available in smaller cone size!)
Evening: Be inspired by the adventures of a local thru-hiker. From preparation to completion, follow his adventures and challenges along the way. Maybe you'll be inspired to plan your own hike, learning from his experiences. Hope you like peanut butter!
Activity note: This hike will cover 9.5 miles. A signifigant elevation change occurs in climbing Lamb's Knoll, when we ascend more than 800 feet in just over a mile. The main ascent is fairly rocky, though the remainder of the trail is fairly clear of rocks compared to the other hikes. This is our Maryland hike.
Breakfast: Enjoy an ample breakfast in the Shepherd's Spring Lodge dining room. Then pack your lunch from the choices provided.
Morning: Ride to the nation's first Washington Monument, where we'll catch a grand vista from atop South Mountain. Then hike southward following the path of Confederate soldiers who defended Turner's Gap and Fox's Gap during the Civil War Battle of South Mountain in 1862.
Lunch: Delve into the lunch you've packed and carried at the Rocky Run Shelter after a 4.25-mile hike.
Afternoon: Complete the hike over today's highest point at Lamb's Knoll ending at Crampton's Gap. Here we find the War Correspondents' Memorial Arch, created by Civil War correspondent George Alfred Townsend, who wrote under the pen name of GATH. The area surrounding the memorial is Gathland State Park and features what remains of Townsend's estate.
Evening: Lectures alternate between a presentation on the settlement process along the trail in the local area from colonial days to the present and the geologic importance to settlement or a presentation on the edible plants found along these sections of the Appalachian Trail.
Activity note: This is one of the more challenging hikes. While only covering about seven miles, the terrain is rocky and elevation changes (ascents and descents) are numerous and dramatic. Approximate elevation changes go from 1,000-1,300 and 750-1,100 to 900-1,200 and 800-1,250 in our 6.8-mile span. This is our Virginia hike.
Morning: Begin your "ride" on the rollercoaster of Virginia, a series of ascents and descents paralleling the Shenandoah River Valley at Snicker's Gap. After the first ascent, a beautiful vista of the Shenandoah River makes the climb worthwhile. A short side trail makes it possible to stop at Bear's Den hostel. An oasis for thru hikers with comfortable beds, laundry facilities and prepared food, it is easy to see why hikers have made this a popular stopover.
Lunch: Delve into the lunch you've packed and carried at the Sam Moore Shelter after hiking approximately 3.8 miles.
Afternoon: Continue on the rollercoaster with a series of ups and downs. Another lovely view of the valley awaits at Buzzard Hill. Though shorter in length, this is a challenging hike and one that provides section hikers with a real sense of accomplishment at day's end. Our return trip in the van passes by the Homeland Security outpost known as Mount Weather.
Evening: Enjoy National Geographic's tale of adventures on the Appalchian Trail. Be sure to watch for some of the stars of the film as we visit the headquarters of the AT Conservancy the next day.
Activity note: This day is the only day in which there is an alternative hike available to participants. The scheduled hike is 6.5 miles and crosses over Loudon Heights, Va., and into Harpers Ferry W.Va. The elevation changes are sizable, from a 600-foot climb to an 800-foot decline. Should the participant opt out of this hike, there is an alternate hike where the AT coincides with the level C&O Canal towpath (one of very few places where the AT can be biked on). This is our West Virginia hike.
Breakfast: Enjoy a hot buffet-style breakfast along with fresh fruit and cereal selections in the Shepherd's Spring lodge. Pack your own lunch from the options available.
Morning: Ride to Loudon Heights, one of the mountains surrounding Harpers Ferry, to begin today's journey. As the AT flip-flops between the state lines of Virginia and West Virginia, be sure to walk on the right side of the trail that is in West Virginia to get all four miles of the West Virginia trail. A short side trail will provide a vista of the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. Descend into the Shenandoah River basin to cross at the new bridge. For those who've experienced enough ups and downs on the AT, an alternative flat hike that is also part of the C&O Canal Towpath is offered. This hike begins in Maryland and crosses the Potomac River bridge. Everyone will meet for a late lunch at the AT Conservancy Headquarters.
Lunch: We'll have lunch at the Appalachian Trail Conservancy Headquarters at the end of the day's hike. There the employees of the conservancy will greet us and share some of their own stories regarding the trail.
Afternoon: Trace your steps from the week along the AT relief map or find pictures of friends or relatives who have thru-hiked the trail in the picture archives of the AT Conservancy. Then, return to the trail to the view that Thomas Jefferson described as "worth a trip across the ocean" at Jefferson Rock. The trail continues down the stone steps into Old Town Harpers Ferry. Complete the West Virginia miles by hiking to the point where the Potomac meets the Shenandoah River. There will be time to explore the museums and shops in historic Harpers Ferry.
Dinner: A farewell banquet dinner will be held in the lodge dining room.
Evening: Enjoy hammered dulcimers, guitars and banjos at O'Hurley's General Store in nearby Shepherdstown, W.Va. Music of the Appalachian region is played by a rotating group of local musicians who have gathered every Thursday night for the past 30 years! This is a real treat for the ears, not to mention easy on the feet.
Activity note: Hikers can spend time exploring the area on their own. As their transportation permits, they can hike the trails of Shepherd's Spring, visit Antietam Battlefield, or explore some of the surrounding historical towns.
Breakfast: Enjoy a hot buffet-style breakfast along with fresh fruit and cereal selections in the Shepherd's Spring lodge dining room.

I had implants with a small lift on my right side, now 3 weeks post op and right side is a square shape at the bottom will this round, my areolas are diffrent shape the right one is pucked up and dinted at the bottom looks like has been cut of is this all normal will it stretch out. my surgeon has gone on holiday and im very worried please help
Different Shape Breasts and Areolas After Implants with Lift on One Side?
Doctor Answers 7
Since the two sides had different surgery it is not uncommon for them to heal at adifferent rate. Allow the passage of a significantly more time
Thank you for the question. I encourage you to upload some photos as the accuracy of the advice that can be provided will be better. With that said, you will undoubtedly see additional changes with your breast and areola shape as healing continues beyond 3 weeks.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta
Web reference: http://www.aaaplasticsurgery.com/photo-gallery/details.cfm?IMAGEID=399&ID=137&startrow=21
At three weeks it is a bit early to see the final results. You need to give this 4-6 months. Good luck!
You might also like...
Having undergone surgery 3 weeks ago, it is too early to tell what the final outcome in the appearance of your breasts will be. It can take months for the implants to settle. It can also take months for incisions and scars to flatten and heal around the areolae. Contour irregularities around the areolae can certainly occur with lifts. They usually smooth out as you continue to heal.
Thank you for your question. Best of Luck!
Thank you for your question. You are still very early in your post op course, and the breasts will change over time as the skin stretches and relaxes and the scars remodel. It sounds like you had some asymmetry before surgery, as most women do, and that your surgeon tried to correct this. When correct pre-operative asymmetry, it is possible to improve the breast asymmetry but not to make it go away completely. There will be some degree of asymmetry after, just less than you had beforehand.
In short, your breasts will need much more time to heal before the final result will be apparent. Give them some more time and see your plastic surgeon when he becomes available.
In the meantime, hang in there.
Best of luck.
Jeff Rockmore
Hi, it was unclear whether you had breast implants and lift on both breasts or on just the right breast. If you had implants and lift just on the right breast, I would suspect that you would have some asymmetry in terms of your breast shape and nipple areolar projection. Even if you have gotten breast impalnts and lift on both breasts, you may have some degree of asymmetry as our left and right breasts are slightly different to begin with. Also, it is too early judge how you would look in the future. Implants settle down in their pockets over a course of 2-3 months; your breast shape will continue to shape for the next couple months. Try to be patient and talk with your plastic surgeon about your concern so that she/he may allay your worries.
Web reference: http://www.drkimplasticsurgery.com
Since it is only 3 weeks from your surgery, expect changes as the implants settle into place and the incisions heal.
Without photos I cannot quite understand what you are describing in order to answer your specific questions. I can reassure that nothing is urgent hear, and encourage patience until you get to see your surgeon.
Thanks for your question. Consider posting photos. Best wishes.

Children's clothing designer (and MoS reader!) Kayce Hughes is on Zulily today! Upon graduating from college, Kayce spent six years designing for Ralph Lauren, but after having a baby, she wanted to make a change. Kayce began creating fashions for her own children using vintage fabrics. Her designs became increasingly popular, and now, SEVEN children later, Kayce's collection includes over 200 pieces and has been featured in Vogue, Domino, and Martha Stewart Weddings.
I love the vintage elements of her classic children's styles. Be sure to check out her website as well as the pieces featured on Zulily! Here are some of my favorites...
A belted sheath dress
Navy peacoat with white piping
Blue floral shift
Pink smocked dress
Green printed tunic
And for the little boys, a blue plaid John-John suit (these are GREAT for warm weather)
Seven children and a fantastic clothing line- how does she do it all?!

There were some things that happened in that time that I had anticipated, and some that I hadn't. For example, I knew that two of my employees were having babies, with delivery dates two weeks away from each other, making it impossible for me to leave the office for any reason over the next two months. I knew that some good friends were getting to be parents of the groom for the first time. I knew that two friends are heroically fighting the cancer fight.
What I didn't know was that a high school friend, whose posts I loved to watch on Facebook (and v.v. -- she and her husband came to Paris to celebrate their anniversary, while I religiously read her gardening page), would not recover from what she thought was just an illness last month that she couldn't shake, which turned out to be Stage 4 Breast Cancer. I also didn't know that one of my cousins would pass away unexpectedly, just a week after my other friend did. Tonight I found out that a friend who already has TOO much cancer in her life lost her sweet dog -- you guessed it, from cancer.
Dad and cousin Laura last week |
This picture of my Dad and my cousin shortly after her brother's funeral says it all. Smiles on their faces, but I can see the pain in their eyes. And here is a picture of my 99 year old grandad and one of my nephews, just yesterday, celebrating the 4th of July with the tractor tradition.
It is really odd, seeing two sweet babies born, two friends (including a family member) pass away, a very beautiful wedding, my grandad living life to the fullest, and a sweet little dog pass away. Odd but serendipitous.
That is the way of life, it keeps going on.
Hard as I might try, I realized I had to face the facts last week that I could not make that 14 hour round trip home for my cousin's funeral. Frankly, I found it quite excruciating to not be there, although I am by no means complaining about my job, my clients or my staff or those sweet babies who came along. That is just life. It is what it is. But I have been having to do a great deal of processing in my head.
Life is just strange. There is no counting the days, the blessings, the sorrows. They come at you whether you will them to or not.
Of course, I turned to a couple of books to help me deal with it and I mention them here because I loved them; they were a great help. They aren't new books, but they are definitely books that have staying power.
First was Ann Lamott -- Bird by Bird. It is a book about writing, which I picked up because I really NEEDED to write, it is how I process, but I had been suffering from writer's block since the big PCT Off-Plaza production (see April 2013 posts). I hoped it would help me write, what I didn't realize is that it would help me heal. There is so much good in it, that I recommend you read it whether you write or not. Definitely read it if you are an artist or creative in any way.
I share this quote for you because I think it says something significant about life itself.
"Thirty years ago my older brother, who was ten years old at the time, was trying to get a report on birds written that he'd had three months to write. [It] was due the next day. We were out at our family cabin in Bolinas, and he was at the kitchen table close to tears, surrounded by binder paper and pencils and unopened books on birds, immobilized by the hugeness of the task ahead. Then my father sat down beside him, put his arm around my brother's shoulder, and said. 'Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.'"
What great advise. We do have to take life bird by bird. Moment by moment. Joy by joy. Sorrow by Sorrow.
Surprised by Worship is the next little gem that I listened to. It had been on my list for a long time, because I absolutely adore the author (Travis Cottrell), who is a worship leader for Beth Moore events. This little book nurtured my soul by addressing faith, forgiveness, and worship in an untraditional sense -- not the guitar or organ dillema, but the authentic "YOU" sense. Has something gotten in the way of your worship, lately? (Ok, the answer is yes if you are still on this earth, let's be honest). Well, then Travis has some real thought provoking statements for you. If you liked Heaven is for Real, listen to this book, I promise it will inspire you. No, you don't have to be a singer, you just have to be human.
And finally, something for the musician in me. I grew up listening to Mom play Chopin's
