To the Editor:
John Leland's article ''Murder, She Wrote, but Not Just the Facts'' (June 22) accurately reports that ''the boundary between fiction and nonfiction has never been more open to creative negotiation'' than it is today. But Mr. Leland errs in stating that ''Dutch,'' my 1999 biography of Ronald Reagan, ''invented a childhood friendship between the author and the subject.'' The whole point of my fictional narrator was that the nonfictional Reagan was unaware of his scrutiny.
Imaginary as that narrator may have been, he was honest. He documented everything he saw, heard, or reported -- which is more than the author profiled by Mr. Leland seems able to do.
I am sure I speak for other serious experimenters in the art of nonfiction (Lauren Slater, Andrew Motion and Peter Ackroyd come to mind) when I say that the ascription of invented thoughts to real people is unacceptable. Only when the subject has specifically recorded those thoughts in diary, letter or interview form does an author have any right to repeat them.

Regional Reviews: Los Angeles
The Life
Also, see Kevin's review of Heaven Help Us
Love, sex, greed and betrayal are a few of the highlights you'll get to see in The Life, a musical about pimps and prostitutes in 1980s Time Square. However, the real focus is not the story itself, but who actually performs this story. The production going on at the Atlantis Playhouse is not only dramatic but dazzling as well, taking the word "ensemble" to new heights.
Let's get a backstory first. The Life is Cy Coleman's (Little Me, Sweet Charity) least produced musical. In 1997, it won the Drama Desk, Outer Critics, and Drama League Awards for Best Musical. It also won Tonys for best featured actor and actress. Not only did Coleman write the music, he collaborated on the libretto with Ira Gasman and David Newman, while Gasman wrote the lyrics. This all adds up to a powerful journey that should be more recognized, thanks to Gary Waldman (Producing Artistic Director) and his cast of 13 talented performers.
Now the story itself: Hustler Jojo narrates this chronicle about four people with different dreams who are about to be sewn together by fate and fatality. Queen and Fleetwood moved from Savannah to New York to live a better existence. Somehow, they ended up on the skids. Fleetwood, an ex-soldier who served in Vietnam, became a pimp while he used Queen as his "lady of the night." Queen spends her time on the streets and sometimes in jail, while Fleetwood spends their money on his coke habit.
Sonja is the elder lady in the stable of prostitutes. She laments her plight in "The Oldest Profession," as she talks about how she is tired and weary of her 24/7 occupation. Sonja plays mother hen to Queen, advising her to wake up to Fleetwood's con games.
Straight off the bus from Duluth comes Mary, a wide-eyed innocent (or so it seems) in awe of the big city. When Fleetwood explains to Jojo that his financial situation is not all that he has hoped for, Jojo gets an idea and leads him to Mary. Fleetwood uses Mary as his new muse, explaining to Queen that Mary will make enough money to get them out of their current level of survival, so the couple can move on to happier days. Unfortunately, Queen isn't too hip on the idea, and she tells Mary to "Go Home."
Somehow, Mary melts Queen's hard heart and shacks up with the couple. But things aren't always as they seem. While Queen gets caught on the streets again, Mary reveals her true colors to both Jojo and Fleetwood. She gets hip to their con game and gets in on the take, becoming Fleetwood's new lady. But nothing they do can compare to the weight that Memphis is bringing in. Memphis is the king pimp with a stable of "pros" that includes Sonja. He always wanted Queen as one of his own, and now that she knows of Fleetwood's deception, Memphis can slide in and "save" her.
The collaboration of Cy Coleman, Ira Gasman and David Newman takes us back to a time when Times Square was ruled by money, power, and sex. Before Disney came in and cleaned up, it was a pimp's paradise. The shadow of AIDS was looming in the air, but no one yet knew what they were dealing with. (The librettists were nice enough to put that hint out there in the story.) Four people are dealing with their own problems and are willing to wheel and deal to get what they want - not even betrayal can inhibit their stride. Fleetwood betrays Queen by creeping with Mary, who dumps Fleetwood to join up with an adult filmmaker. Jojo also jumps into the betrayal circus, leading up the most powerful climax of all.
Dean Swann is excellent as Jojo, a hustler who has seen it all and knows the ropes. Swann is not afraid to show the snake in Jojo; he looks like a friend, but can easily wield that knife, too. Swann moves like a cobra, but never shows when he is ready to strike - a good balance between charmer and reptile. As Memphis, Carl Barber-Steele's stature is overwhelmingly good. He makes Memphis into a slick über-villain, creating the ultimate pimp with his neatly dressed suit and shining shoes. Singing "Don't Take Much," Barber-Steele resembles Isaac Hayes as he croons about changing a lady into a tramp. Barber-Steele also reveals Memphis' true colors to Queen - and they're not pretty!
Nadeen Holloway is terrific as Sonja, the elder hooker with the good heart. With her motherly instincts on point, her pipes show authority in selections like "The Oldest Profession" and "My Friend." As Mary, Elizabeth King is believable as a Polly Pureheart, while her vixen shines in the number "People Magazine." King has the right balance between victim and criminal, but the two leads resonate the most.
Ben Bagby shines as Fleetwood. Bagby handles Fleetwood as a man who not only wants a life for his lady, but wants the finer things to go with it. Unfortunately, Bagby also has to show Fleetwood's darker side. As his addiction to power grows, Bagby has to show his man leaving behind the one who stood by his side the most. With that, Bagby never strays away from Fleetwood's goal as another rogue who becomes remorseful - too little, too late.
Jeanne Gray gives a superb performance as Queen, a woman who just needs to be with a man who will love her right back. Gray has the most challenging role of all, that of a woman who is tortured, but empowered in the end, a role that Gray accomplishes with flying colors. Gray penetrates the surface of Queen giving her character depth and resonance. In selections like "He's No Good" and "I'm Leaving You," Gray makes Queen believable, letting the audience into her soul.
The design team has captured the essence of Times Square, with its graffiti-laced walls and dark, sinister colors. Matthew Decker's set is pure New York City. Jamie Cooper assists Decker with lighting, creating a colorful, sinful design filled with reds and blues. Even the costumes are stunning, thanks to Kevin Black, who also did the choreography.
Cy Coleman's score is contained inside a keyboard played by Phil Hinton. His musical direction creates the sounds of the '80s with syncopated drums and R&B grooves relevant to the times. Black's choreography is dazzling like a cruise spectacular, making every player extend body parts they never knew that had.
Director Gary Waldman has chosen the right ensemble to bring this musical to life (pardon the pun). With all the right moves in place, this is a superior production. Let's hope this story gets more renditions in the future; it's a gem that no one should miss.
The Life was to conclude on July 11th, but due to critical acclaim and popular demand, it has been extended indefinitely. The Life goes on at Atlantis Playhouse, 5893 S. Congress Avenue. For more information, please call the box office at (561) 304-3212.

My gsd can escape from her cage with out any trouble, she uses a travel type kennel and we do use cable ties and that does help but some times we run out? Any suggestions on a wire cage or something else that is sturdy

I had to put little locks in mine. They did the trick. I used the ones that had a key.
Same here. I had to use two padlocks and several carbiners to keep Lisl in.
She is my Houdini Dog. I swear if she had the keys to those locks she'd be on the couch waiting for me when I got home from work.
I'm glad she's permanently out now.
How do they manage to get out? My vari-kennel has a squeeze latch on it. I'm either very impressed with the dogs' ingenuity or really questioning the quality of the crate itself, lol.
Lisl opened the latches on hers. Both top and bottom. When she was very young she only had to open one or the other and could push one corner of the door enough to squeeze through.

I use a wire kong crate. It has double doors and both slides up. No way of breaking out that way! Have had it for almost 2 years and it's still very sturdy like from day 1.

Mumbai: Imran Khan is considered to be the King of recent Bollywood Romantic Comedies. With his ultimate chocolate boy looks (Just like his Mamujaan Aamir Khan's), his boy next door innocent looks; he is swooning Indian ladies stealing their hearts away, quite successfully. He has been born into a Bollywood family literally, with Naseer Hussain as his grandson. Being born into a rich legacy always helps. His parents separated when he was a baby and it is then Imran took up the surname Khan, from his mother Nuzhat, instead of his father's surname Pal.
He has started his career as a child artist playing baby-Aamir in movies like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander. His real break in Bollywood came with Abbas Tyrewala's Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na starring alongside Genelia D'souza. His role as cute and adorable 'Jai' won him the Filmfare Best Debutant Award for his role. The movie was one of the cutest romantic comedies Bollywood has ever produced.
Imran gave a couple of flops after his first stupendous hit. His movies Kidnap, Luck, Break Ke Baad flopped badly. Break Ke Baad got him great reviews from the critics for his sizzling on screen chemistry Deepika Padukone. I Hate Love Storys did fairly well but wasn't a hit either. People liked his role and went on to make him more popular.
His next release, Delhi Belly was both commercially and critically a big hit. The movie with its unusual language and crisp story-line made Imran a star all over again. He came out of his usual boy next door roles to try his hand at something different and gladly enough, he succeeded well at it. Mere Brother Ki Dulhan opposite Katrina Kaif garnered mixed reviews from the critics but did a good job commercially.
2012 is going to be red letter year for Imran professionally with two of his very important movie slated to release this year. Pasand Apni Apni, which is a sequel of the famous comedy film starring the Aamir-Salman Khan duo named Andaz Apna Apna. Karan Johar's Ekk Main Aur Ekk Tu is slated for release on 10th February, 2012 starring Imran and Kareena. The movie is set inLas Vegas and elaborates the story of two young people and their alcoholic misdeeds in the city of Sin. The movie is purposely slotted for a Pre-Valentine's day release to get more audience to watch it.
Imran has pictured himself a stable and responsible guy in his personal life. He hasn't been linked up with any of his co-stars no matter how great an on-screen chemistry is pictured. In 2011 he married Avantika Malik who is his long-time sweetheart and the couple is happily married. They celebrated their first wedding anniversary on 10th January, 2012 and reportedly Imran is going to gist his wife a luxury customized car. He is turning 29 this year. Here is our entire teaming wishing him a very Happy Birthday and good luck for his next venture. We would be more than delighted to see him shine bright.

C.O. K-9 teams back from slide recovery assist
Rrecovery teams call work exhausting, rewarding
PRINEVILLE, Ore. - Three canine teams, two from Crook County and one from Deschutes County went to Oso to help find victims of the Oso landslide.
Washington Emergency Management contacted their Oregon counterparts, asking for search and rescue cadaver dogs. A day and a half after receiving the call, Central Oregon mobilized their teams.
The tree teams made it to Oso on Friday, April 4th and quickly got to work in the disaster zone.
"It's been described as freshly poured concrete, and that's a very accurate description of it," Jillian McIntosh, K-9 handler for search and rescue, said Friday of the landslide scene.
The teams had to wait for Washington to ask them to come. Teams can't just volunteer.
"It was a couple of long weeks," Lori Blackburn, K-9 handler for search and rescue, said. "We were very aware of the slide, very aware there were dogs working, and we really wanted to be a part of it."
This was just one of the kinds of disasters these cadaver dogs train for.
"To be able to bring someone home to their family, it's what I want to do," Blackburn said.
She and her dog Annie, along with the two other two teams, were given that chance.
The handlers were not allowed to tall NewsChannel 21 whether or not they directly assisted in any human recoveries.
"Most of the area we were working, which was right off (Highway) 530, right there," McIntosh said. "It was up to our knees, and some areas up to our hip."
Human handlers are necessary, but it's the dogs that are there to do the work no human could.
"They're able to sniff out odors they're trained for," McIntosh said.
"Annie was pulling to get out there," Blackburn said. "It didn't seem to matter that it was mud and a debris field."
The dogs train in different conditions, and Blackburn said the dogs could tell they were not in their usual training comfort zone.
It didn't affect their work, though. Plus, the conditions in Oso, Wash., were different than what they train in in the desert environment of Central Oregon.
"Constantly being wet really zaps their body heat," McIntosh said.
The dogs and handlers were exhausted, but they worked together to stay safe and healthy.
"It's her nose," Blackburn said. "and it's the training and conditioning that lets her tell us what shes found."
Blackburn said she as the handler is really there to be the advocate for her dog as she does her job.

[1]The Theotokos, the Virgin Mary, was "blessed amongst women," and she was chosen "to bear the Savior of our souls." Orthodox Christians consider her to be the Queen of all the saints and angels.
Knowing that she is eternally present at the throne of God interceding for mankind, we pray for her love, guidance, and protection. Every year the Orthodox Church sets aside the first fourteen days of August in honor of the Virgin Mary. This fast period is climaxed on August 15th, when the Church gathers to celebrate the Great Feast of the Dormition (Falling-Asleep) of the Theotokos [2].

I thought I'd stop at the hardware store in the morning on my way to work to buy #8 hardware cloth to make a push in cage for her....does that sound like what I should do?
Also, I gave that hive a frame of brood and eggs on Friday, the 18th - should I check to see if they have made a queen cell before introducing her?
The nuc was supposed to have a mated queen, ready to lay immediately, but what if it had a virgin queen who has now been mated....I guess I should check the hive before putting the queen in.
The main question is should I make her a push-in cage - and it looks like rain tomorrow - what if she comes, no attendants, and it's pouring rain?
I know Michael Bush sometimes just releases the queen.

World Chefs: Bernamoff aims to inspire modern deli cooking
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Noah Bernamoff hopes "The Mile End Cookbook," which he wrote with his wife Rae about their modern spin on the Jewish deli food he enjoyed during his childhood in Montreal, will inspire others to make the comfort dishes at home.
The couple opened the Mile End Delicatessen in the borough of Brooklyn in New York in January 2010. The restaurant offers updated deli staples such as matzo ball soups and smoked meat, also known as pastrami. They launched the Mile End Sandwich shop in Manhattan earlier this year.
The 30-year-old former law school student spoke to Reuters about making deli food at home and sandwich sizes, and shared his view about modern delis.
Q: What do you want to achieve with your book?
A: "I want them to understand the difficulty and uniqueness of making deli food from scratch. Delis have become a generic thing. Many delis have become the Disney World of delis. They have become the caricature of this former thing. What we and a few new guys around the scene are doing around the country is that we are saying this food is legitimate and it's a unique North American treasury, just like what Italian-American cooking is and what Chinese-American cooking is. It has a life and tradition on its own."
Q: What is your advice for making deli food at home?
A: "Ingredients are 50 percent of the battle in making delicious food. Smoking meats, pickling vegetables, they are accessible but you might not get it right the first time. It's not like sautéing onions and this is the level I need my burner at. These are techniques and methods people rarely employ in their kitchen on a daily basis. My tip is just be patient."
Q: What could someone expect at his first time at Mile End? Continued...

Tuesday July 24, 2012
The local entomologist ID'd a sample as the carpet or hide beetle that has infested the fireplace area of our client's home. Inspecting both under and in/over the fireplace we are unable to locate a nesting area that would support this pest. The 4' crawl space was inspected twice. A chimney sweep took care of the upper works. I would like to hear any eradication ideas and recommended pesticides and application methods.
I guess we can assume that the ID was accurate, although there can be a big difference between typical "carpet" beetles and hide beetles, with respect to the things they eat. Both kinds are in the family Dermestidae, but hide beetles are more often associated with carcasses and the final bits of skin, flesh, and hair left on the carcass once the flies and other initial insects are through with it. Typical carpet beetles feed on the hair or feathers of carcasses as well as on any grain-based food materials, so old rodent baits, bags of baking goods, dry pet foods are all susceptible to infestation from these smaller, oval beetles. Carpet beetles also feed on dead insects and their assorted remains, so old bee hives or wasp nests often have carpet beetles in them feeding on leftover pupa and shed exoskeletons. Bird nests with leftover feathers or dead chicks could also be a food source for them.

V on Boiko, aka Boiko, aka Boiks, aka Bizoiko, aka The Bizoiko Bot. Some call him, "Pete." Some even call him, "Peter," which seems ridiculously formal to me.
AM/UK Live From Another Dimension is all his idea, soup to nuts, even the title, although I insisted on "from" instead of "in another dimension," and of course JTR and I gave feedback as needed. I made some ad hoc decisions about what songs we would feature on the night of the performance, also. But Boiks recorded and mixed it, and tickles the synthetic ivories throughout. Flagday and Cola had announced they needed to step back from the rock, and Von Boiko had the forsight and desire to record this (awesome) version of the band. We were pretty well practiced-up already. Plus, we even had a couple of new songs in latest version of the set.
(From my sketchbook–I think about Boiko too much)
Boiko and I work at a prestigious law firm in Manhattan. Same office, even. That's where we met. He's probably the person I see more than any other. We live in adjacent Brooklyn neighborhoods, so we'll often be on the same train headed into the city in the morning, then 8 hours of office hijinks, and on the other side of the day, we'll travel together home, talking about upcoming projects and whatnot. I think we're coming up with our own secret language, like identical twins.
I should have invited Von Boiko to be in the band a lot sooner than I did. He's been a godsend. Boiko's sonic presence makes us sound like I always wanted AM/UK to sound live. But I didn't know he was any good. I knew he could drink, and that he was the most affable dude in the world, and even though he mentioned he could lay down some keys, I was suspicious of his abilities, I guess. We had been palling around for a while, and he had seen AM/UK play at Southpaw way back in '06, and after that, he started showing off some tracks that he had produced. Hip hop. Metal. Carnival music. Interesting stuff. So we started working on a side project together and eventually, I wised up and asked him to play keys in the band. He joined in the Zot/Early Cola days, and played at our Rocktronic release party, so in 2009.
Since then, he's built up a nice studio in his apartment, and seems to bring a new toy on stage every time we play.
Besides working on AM/UK LIVE, he's been staying busy otherwise, working on our aformentioned side project, along with co-writing and recording an EP that will be released alongside my graphic novel with artist Dennis Culver, titled Odd Schnozz and the Odd Squad, from Oni Press (book) and Three If By Rock (music). Boiko just produced and engineered an album by Chris Brown, aka, Emory Street, which saw release in early December. And I recently had the pleasure of singing back-ups on his album Throwing Hands with his highschool band Forthright–which is a kickass, fun project: hardcore metal and rap that only 17 year old kids from Jersey could pull off, reimagined over a decade later with better skills and tech. It's pretty rad.
(Forthright logo by Paul Ciaravino.)
Which brings our mutual friend Paul Ciaravino into the picture, who is the lead singer of Forthright, and Boiko's childhood friend. Because of Boiko, I met Paul, and Paul draws Americans UK the series–such that, Boiko first appeared in Americans UK the comic, before he was in the band! We had a glimpse in to the future!!
(Art by Paul Ciaravino – see the resemblence to Boiks?)
Boiko was inexorably tied to the fate of Americans UK. How could I have been so blind?
So there you go. Another incomplete history. You got a record to make? Hit him up. In the meantime, raise a glass on a job well done on AM/UK Live From Another Dimension. Alright, on the count of three: one, two, three–HAVE ANOTHER BEER, BOIKO!

New Cannibal Corpse album
"Titled Torture"
Sounds about right
This band just makes me think of eating the decaying flesh of zombies. Totally a picture I want in my head while listening to music.
Sorry I dont' like Torturing my ears or myself.
Song titles are disappointing.
Looking forward to this.
Cover art looks too similar to their last two albums.
Not sure if this will be good or terrible.
Digging: Lorde - Melodrama
Very excited for this.
The song sounds awesome.
Digging: Yellow Magic Orchestra - Solid State Survivor
This song is garbage, there is way too much repetition. However, it is the same ol' Cannibal Corpse and I know at least half of the album will be solid so I am eager for its release.
Yeah I can't wait to get my hands on this. The subtle intricacies of this band never cease to amaze me. This is metal for the thinking man.
cover art disappointing again. but i like the song.
'followed home and killed'
that was fucken good
boss song. heavy as hell
In case people haven't realised, that art is the outer sleeve for the censors... the main pic are bunch of women hung upside down... tortured to death...
Digging: Deadwood - Picturing a Sense of Loss
oh look. Blast beats and shitty vocals.
oh look. Blast beats and shitty vocals.
this is gonna be great
some sexy ratings there fiery
I prefer listening to something that doesn't sound like burping.
album title is uncreative and fucking stupid
fuck this band
I enjoyed it.
(strong) 3/5.
"I prefer listening to something that doesn't sound like burping."
listen to demilich, you'll like
Hells Yes!
Digging: Tuesday The Sky - Drift
they already have 12 fucking albums out? shouldve titled their album electric eel chair.
Hells Yes!
We're both excited to hear the same album?
band has made the same 12 albums in a row
complete shit
lol'd at "followed home then killed"
song titles are definitely lacking though.
more Cannibal Corpse is always a good thing
it's not gonna rule, but it's not gonna suck. it's gonna be fucking meeeehhhhhhhh
more good stuff coming out this year.
Not sure if this will be good or terrible.
Judging by the new song, this is same old, same old but in a good way. These guys can do no harm.
band is so boring. it's interesting to see how much they've toned down their album art though.
shouldve titled their album electric eel chair.
Someone alert Brendon Small.
"In case people haven't realised, that art is the outer sleeve for the censors... the main pic are bunch of women hung upside down... tortured to death...
hahaha was wondering where the dead shit was. song is sick
That's awesome.
Oh dang
Can't wait!
07. Followed Home Then Killed
gonna suck
kinda disappointed in the cover art (its sucked the past 2 albums too) and the song titles, this should be awesome though
Digging: My Dying Bride - Turn Loose the Swans
they're focusing more on the music than the gore though
Might suck, might not. I was very disappointed by their last effort. And the featured track doesn't do anything to change my mind. Kill was prolly their last decent album. But you never know, after hearing the rest of these, I could be happy. Can't always judge a book by its cover.
"it's not gonna rule, but it's not gonna suck. it's gonna be fucking meeeehhhhhhhh"
07. Followed Home Then Killed
I lol'd [2]
the sample song is okay. these guys hit their peak with Vile and have been more or less the same (and solid) ever since
Digging: Hellripper - Coagulating Darkness
Fuck yeah!
Bet it's gonna be boring.
@Anthracks, they hit their peek at Eaten Back To Life, get real ya wee poof.
Digging: '68 - Two Parts Viper
well, im definitely looking forward to this. album art is pretty neat too ))
07. Followed Home Then Killed
I lol'd [3]
"band has made the same 12 albums in a row
complete shit"
Digging: Wayd - The Ultimate Passion
lol, almost happened to me once. ironically, i was jamming to CC on my ipod. hmmmm, i think i just inspired a CC song, WOOT IM FAMOUS
im pretty sure it was the man in the middle of the album art that followed someone home then killed them ))))
I don't know how people go about saying same old, same old. These guys have been raising the bar especially on Kill and Evisceration Plague. Are you even listening to the riffs? Those are some intricate riffs. To me, as Wizard said, they can do no harm, but if you actually paid attention the details of the songs, it is quite impressive. And not impressed with the title name or song names, it is a death metal record. They like to keep it short and sweet, and once, it is death metal, what do you want some post rock name title?
Corpsegrinder's vocals are done. He even says he doesn't do any writing, he just waits at home till hes sent vocal lines/patterns to record.
Haha if you take half of my fives seriously, you're just trolling yourself. Notice how I have around 8 Billy Ray Cyrus albums 5'd? Sorry, this song still blows, along with almost anything Cannibal Corpse has ever done.
since you admitted you're a troll your comments just lost even more value
Excellent band, you can bet the album will rape.
song is the shit
Digging: The Ruins Of Beverast - Exuvia
song is good as a muh
I am by no means a troll.
I've just ranked a few albums as classic to accentuate how terrible they are.
Surely you follow my logic.
I love how simple Cannibal Corpse makes things. Fucking awesome.
Yea will be m/ I bet
hm... they'll have albums titled 'Torture' and 'Kill', now they just need to release an album named 'Bind'
^ Good one
Track 7's title made me seriously lol.

WHIRLPOOL Dryer getting very hot on backside
I have a Whirlpool gas dryer model LGQ8858jQ0. Lately it has been smelling HOT. I checked the Lint trap and it was not obstructed also the Metal duct exiting the house was clear. So that has been ruled out.
Even running a load on Medium heat, The unit smelled very Hot so I pulled it out to have a look. The back panel could not be touched as it was that Hot.
What would be causing this dryer to overheat like this? i am assuming this isnt normal on medium heat???
Have you run the lint trap under hot water for a while to remove residual buildup from dryer cloths? Try it, although fro the sound of it you may have something more serious. You do not have a corrugated exhaust pipe right?
When was the last time it was cleaned too?
tHANKS FOR THE REPLIES.
No corregated flex duct. 1 elbow off the dryer connected to 7' piece of smooth walled duct that exits the house.
The filter and the duct were the 1st things I checked. All nice and clean!
I saw joe's link earlier and was thinking the cycling thermostat.
I switched through the heat cycles- no heat, low, medium, and high heat settings. Even though it was on medium it seemed like a High heat issue- considering how HOT the back of the unit was.
With the back opened up, I turned the dryer on and was able to witness the cycling thermostat was working. On low heat, the burner would cycle on/off as expected once it got to a desired temp.
I put the back back together and ran a load of towels on Medium heat. Seems to be working now. maybe cycling the dial through the settings cleared something up???????
Will continue to monitor

I think the rating system doesn't apply to AJ-items. It is useful for WordPress-Themes, when the theme does not do, what the description promises to deliver. But nobody who buys an AJ-item buys a pig in a poke. All they get is the same, they can download for free with the preview without the watermark,
If you think, analog is better, go for it. But if you think analog makes more sales on AJ – forget about it.

One of my tracks was the featured track of the week. It happened quite early, after six months or so. But it did not change very much. The featured track is my 4th best selling track – 7 purchases so far. It's exiting to be featured, but it's not the road to eternal wealth and happiness.
Great Idea! Here's mine:

When my track will be featured by AJ staff (OMG, i still believe that it will happen one day, after 6 years of waiting:), ok, i'll stop composing for AJ.. Maybe for a month o two:))
I'm sorry to spoil your dreams, I'm one of those a**holes, whose track got featured after six month.Nothing changed.

|Home > National News > Article
These bright, enthusiastic young nurses in their crisp white uniforms graduated into the profession in 1988, but what happened to them shows why the health system is in crisis.
The Sun-Herald set out to find what happened to these 12 nurses (opposite) who graduated with such high ideals 14 years ago.
The Class of 88 of Ku-Ring-Gai College of Advanced Education were photographed during a field trip to Papua New Guinea.
They were the first of a new breed of nurses - university educated rather than in hospitals. Their course, run through the University of Technology, Sydney (UTS), was designed to elevate nursing to a new and professional level.
But fewer than half of this group are still nursing. All are disillusioned. Some swear they will never go back.
The national review of nursing education's report shows nurses are quitting the profession in droves, which will mean the current 10 per cent shortfall in nurses increasing sixfold by 2006 to 31,000 nurses.
Fresh nursing graduates cannot plug the holes left by experienced nurses who walk off the wards. Yet three-quarters of the shortfall is caused by experienced nurses leaving the profession.
The NSW Government should listen to the Class of 88, now in their mid-30s, on why they are quitting nursing.
Money isn't the main problem. Rather, it is a lack of respect as professionals, and being treated as minions in an antiquated, hierarchical system that does not let them provide proper patient care.
Margaret Bollen is one of the few from 1988 who stuck it. She was older than the other students, having first started a nursing course in 1976.
"I started when you learned nursing in the hospitals, but this was the first time it was an eduction course at a university and that got me back in," she said.
"I thought it would be regarded as a proper profession. Money is not the issue for me. But the pressure on experienced, full-time nurses snowballs as they look after temp nurses new to the ward on top of looking after up to 10 patients at a time. It is very stressful and there is a lot of responsibility, and I don't feel we get the recognition and support we need."
Melissa Fletcher was off to Britain to work as a nanny just six months after graduating.
"The shift work and lack of recognition, and no advancement despite all the extra training and courses, left me disillusioned," she said. "I felt there was a real lack of support, especially from other nurses. I was bossed around, and the hierarchical structure made me feel it wasn't regarded as a profession."
Ms Fletcher's husband died six years ago and she had to give up nursing to look after their young daughter. Her nursing qualifications helped get her into a behavioural science course and she is now aiming at an occupational health and safety career.
Samantha Trippe is trying to help young nurses by setting up a mentoring system through the UTS alumni association. She nursed for six years, but left to set up her own nursing agency. She went back to nursing for two years as she missed the work, but now works for Nurse Bank Australia, a recruitment agency.
"Nursing is at a crisis point," she said. "People leave because of the lack of job satisfaction. You can't do the patient care work when you are having to supervise other staff."
Lavinia Schofield nursed for five years and did midwifery in New Zealand before going back to the wards part-time. But eventually she walked away to try to become a National Parks ranger.
"I did not like going back to the hospital ward system," she said. "The hierarchy system really bugged me. It was all too rushed to give really good patient care."

World Chefs: Lewis passionate about finding new ingredients
By Richard Leong
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Whether it's wild flowers or weeds on his patio, American chef Brian Lewis is on a quest to find new ingredients and has included them in some of the meals at his elm restaurant, which opened earlier this year.
Before launching the eatery in New Canaan, Connecticut in March, the 45-year-old classically trained chef worked at actor Richard Gere's restaurant, The Farmhouse at The Bedford Post in New York state, where he received critical acclaim.
Lewis, who grew up just north of New York City, spoke to Reuters about his new restaurant, his choice of career and favorite ingredients.
Q: Describe your culinary approach for elm.
A: "My food is rooted in tradition and inspired by the seasons. I'm an American chef who draws inspiration from French and Italian cooking. I also have a strong influence from modern Spanish cooking, modern techniques, as well as age-old techniques whether it's salting, curing, preserving, confitting ... We are always looking for new ingredients -- that is what drives me the most."
Q: What new ingredients are you experimenting with now?
A: "A lot of wild herbs and wild lettuces. Even in backyards, there are wild Italian strawberries. My quest now is finding things like purslane, which is a weed growing in the cracks in my patio. It's fabulous and I snip it. I clean it and pair that with heirloom tomato hearts and sheep's milk curd. Wild forage, flowers and greens are the favorite of the moment. These radish, broccoli and watermelon flowers are beautiful. It's just not from an aesthetic point of view, they are peppery and the delicious flavors that come from them are really unique."
Q: What has been the diners' response to elm so far? Continued...

A meta-analytic assessment of a Thyroglobulin marker for marbling in beef cattle
Wood, Ian A., Moser, Gerhard, Burrell, Daniel L., Mengersen, Kerrie L., & Hetzel, D. Jay S. (2006) A meta-analytic assessment of a Thyroglobulin marker for marbling in beef cattle. Genetics Selection Evolution, 38(5), pp. 479-494.
|PDF (402kB)
|PDF (7kB)
A meta-analysis was undertaken reporting on the association between a polymorphism in the Thyroglobulin gene (TG5) and marbling in beef cattle. A Bayesian hierarchical model was adopted, with alternative representations assessed through sensitivity analysis. Based on the overall posterior means and posterior probabilities, there is substantial support for an additive association between the TG5 marker and marbling. The marker effect was also assessed across various breed groups, with each group displaying a high probability of positive association between the T allele and marbling. The WinBUGS program code used to simulate the model is included as an Appendix available online at www.edpsciences.org/gse.

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

I really like Just Born over other products of Replacement Milk for kittens and I also give this to mom's while nursing.They need the extra calories while nursing. So I put it on her food too.Kathy

I found an abandoned litter of kittens in my yard. I bought this product (Just Born Milk Replacer Powder for Kittens) and a ready mixed can of KMR Liquid Milk Replacer. The kittens seem to like the taste of this product better. Please note - this product comes out a bit thick when made as instructed. Try using a little less powder than water.

Kitties loved it!! They didn't have any problem being weaned from moms milk and then to start taking solid food. Even underweight small pups benefited of this milk.

"Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver five minutes longer."
Still regularly occupying a top slot in any survey in which Americans are asked to name their favorite US president, Ronald Reagan is remembered by many as "the father of conservatism" – the chief executive who introduced Reaganomics and famously declared it to be "morning in America." To honor what would have been his 101st birthday on Feb. 6, 2012, here are 10 quotes from the 40th president.
"Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They're just braver five minutes longer."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My granddaughter hasn't been on the boat this year (she lives 450 miles away) but last year we went out several times. We did some small things, rope, and toy boats etc. But most important, we made short sails, about 1½ hours. The object is to have a positive experience so she wants to come back.
My best all time trick I am saving until she is about 5. We did this with my daughter and it remains one of her all time kid memories and she is 38. We had a 5½ birthday party. We planned it, met all the family at a remote dock and she got presents and we had cake etc, My daughter still thinks it was her coolest birthday party ever.
|We have two little toy boats with about 30 feet of string attached...let it out...pull it in...let it out...pull it in...good for about an hour of entertainment
|my wife reminds me that the surprise bag also contains sticker books (which we don't usually do at home) and toy binoculars.
|We always keep a bunch of "dollar store specials" down at the boat for our daughter. Things like little rubber dinosaurs, plastic animals and my little pony, etc. Basically, small cheap toys that she can use as a group. Also, we keep paper and crayons. Our one rule is that the boat toys are not permitted to come home. This usually results in a bit of begging after a day of sailing, but it seems to make the toys more "special".
My boat partner has 2 boys (14 and 7). When the younger boy was aboard he wanted to bring some toys along - transformers. Once on board the parents found that using our bucket with a lanyard on it they could bring bucket fulls of river water aboard and splash it out in the cockpit, creating a small wading pool/bathtub for the youngster that would quickly drain. Some things that do not seem like toys to us may provide some amusement for the youngsters. The trick is choosing which boat objects are really safe to be toys for youngsters.
It is good of you to take your children out sailing with you. I wish my boat partner's 14 y.o. would come out more but he wont come out without a friend his age along. You have heard the phrase: "Less is more" but sometimes with kids: "More is less" applies as two of the same age can occupy each other quite well. Short a play date? Bring one of your dogs along!
Have fun.
bring a friend
My crew consists of an almost 5 and almost 2 year old girls. The oldest has been sailing since 1 year old.
The "surprise bag" contains:
fun notebooks (shaped like a dog and a monkey) and crayons for coloring, the ~2 year old needs to be supervised or the cockpit turns purple.
books (board books for the little one, paper for the older)
"magic" magic markers, that only write on special coloring books - god only knows what chemical is in them, but they claim to be "non toxic" So far no ill effects on yacht or child.
And the big hit - glow stick jewelry for night time adventures (we haven't sailed at night, but have been on the boat for some fireworks).
As previously mentioned the "nautical toys" are fun - a sail tie, a short length of line, the boat cushions etc. The 2 year old loves to help steer the boat.
The boat toys are left on the boat - and are "new" every weekend - kind of like visiting a friend's house - all the different toys to play with.
Now that I've fooled you into thinking I'm Super Nanny - I'll let you in on a little secret. We never sail alone with the kids. My wife is still coming up to speed on sailing/boat handling, and is nervous if I were to go overboard, she wouldn't be able to handle the boat & the children. So, we bring along family and/or friends. An extra set of hands is a huge help to keep the kids entertained (and lets my wife relax and enjoy the boat). I usually hang with the kids, and the extra adult(s) crew while my wife skippers.
We also tend to keep the trips on the shorter side - so far only day sails generally only 1/2 day as we try to time the Merrimac River currents. Since we sail out of Newburyport, we usually experience "town" before or after - ice cream, the playground etc. We've been getting requests for a trip to the beach (we can dinghy out to Plum Island). This past weekend we went to the boat for a "picnic" -The 5 year old was as excited as dad to get a new grille for the boat this spring - we let her pick the menu - Burgers and "speckled" (sour cream & onion) chips. She's already requested the next meal - pizza. I guess I'll have to get the new propane regulator hooked up soon.
The ~2 year old screams "Boat, Daddy Boat" every time she sees one (on or off the water). The ~5 year old is really enjoying it this season. She's old enough now to play in the main saloon while under sail (we have her sit on the cabin sole so she doesn't take a spill if we hit a large wake.
As others have mentioned - keep the kids invovled in the planning process, what are we going to do when we get to the destination, what's on the menu etc.
You'll notice a big difference next season in how much more independent your daughter is. Just tough it out this season.
1) Something with lots of nobs and lights...that clicks , squeals and pops... the SSB/Ham radio comes to mind...
2) A brother/Sister...they click, pop, squeel and light up when their nobs are pulled too.
One of Martys ( Blt2ski ) crew members use to grab her sisters little feet and pull baby sister off the couch to see what kind of fuss she would make hitting the floor as a 2 1/2 year old....great fun!
|I have boys but my youngest was about that age when we got our current boat. He had a bunch of small plastic animals and would play endless games trapping them with the gear hammock in the V berth. I also keep markers and a giant pad of paper in the nav-desk. They know it's there and usually go right for that now. Without a doubt though their favorite thing is to play in the companionway - climb - swing - fall - cry - repeat!
Nothing! It can't be done!!
3.5 year old girls don't belong on a boat, so I guess that you will have to sell her (the boat, not the daughter - although I can think of one member that might make an offer for your daughter ).
You are in luck! I just happen to know someone looking for a boat.
Seriously, I agree with JimHawkins. She needs a small area of responsibility on board. Give her a job, and lavish praise on her for doing it well.
Here is one idea: have her plan what you will do when you go ashore (Jewell / Damariscove/Eagle Islands). Help her to understand that half the fun of sailing is planning what you are going to do.
Put her in charge of watching out for motorboats, Rocna Anchors, Ketches and Sloops. Give her a notebook, and have her keep a running tally.
Ours (7,5,3) took over the forward cabin (sort of a v-berth but they're singles). We just put together a sterilite box of assorted toys: Barbie, littlest petshop etc. and they play for quite a while. N.B. no teeny parts or you'll be finding them in the bilge for years afterwards. With the oldest being 7 they're just doing imaginativ play and are not too interested in formal games unless we're doing the game with them.
As much as I hate it, I may break down and get a portable DVD player- but not yet.

Comparing luxury SUVs, in general, of course, the German brands are going to be ranked lower. Lots of things can go wrong with them. What's interesting is that in the most recent JDPOWER, Mercedes was ranked higher than Acura, Honda, Hyundai. Crazy.
I guess German car owners do put up with some "issues" to have a better driving car. You couldn't pay me to go buy an Infiniti or Acura. BMW/Audi/Mercedes/Lexus. I'll do it all day long.
