Chapter 2: Abyssus Porta
Now the valley cried in anger, mount your horses, draw your swords. And they killed the mountain people. So they won their just reward, now they stood beside the treasure, on the mountain dark and red. Turn the stone and which beneath it, Peace on Earth, Was all it said. -One Tin Soldier (The Original Caste)
Nine twenty in the mourning, Paul had over slept. He was suppose to be on his way to New Amsterdam by now. From his Little Falls hotel room to the office would take about an hour and half. His report on the recent murders of five of the top executives of PAX was no where near complete, he had a gut instinct that he was missing the whole story. The murders appeared to be random, but something didn't add up, there was a lack of motive. Maybe, he thought to himself, there was a motive, he just hadn't found it yet. He turned on the television in hopes of getting a traffic report, maybe he could cut his travel time down a bit by taking the 495 straight into York.
The television was going on about the stock market open, gold had hit a new trading high. More unemployment, and the national debt was on the rise. In other words, nothing new thought Paul.
He felt it, even before he saw the flash, the dust cloud, or heard a sound. The hair stood up on the back of his neck, and an overwhelming panic crawled from the hairs on his arms, to his gut. He felt sick, vertigo took hold, and he instinctively looked out the window in the direction of York. He could see it now, rising over the city like a gray skull, he knew what it was at first site. Some one had just nuked the city.
At first he just stood there staring not knowing what to do. Thoughts passed through his head like jumbled puzzle pieces, and he just couldn't think straight.
Which way was the wind blowing, was he down wind, how bad was it, who did it and why? His thoughts were interrupted with the emergency broadcasts system tone coming from the television. That was fast he thought at first, but then realized he had been staring out the window for awhile in shock now.
This is an Emergency Action Notification Directed by the President. Normal broadcasting on this station will cease immediately. This is an attack warning, repeat, this is an attack warning. An attack warning means that an actual attack against this country has been detected and that protective action should be taken.
The alert tone and message repeated.
Paul was still in shock, he waited for further information from the TV, none came. He started flipping through channels on the box, most had the same EBS logo and message repeating. Some were off the air, then he came across a foreign channel.
" Reports are still coming in, apparently there has been nuclear detonation in New Amsterdam, more specifically in the old city of New York", the reporter looked nervous, "We have unconfirmed reports that the blast centered out of central park. The theater district has been decimated, the Empire State building is gone, and Carnegie Hall. " One moment please" Someone off set had just hand him a note.
" We have live footage via our affiliated network coming in now. It is my understanding, that there is a helicopter from our sister network now flying toward ground zero. It appears that only the pilot is in the helicopter as a reporter was not available at the time."
The seen changed to a grainy picture of the downtown core, it was obvious that the pilot was trying to angle the copter for the best possible view of the crater which appeared to be approximately two blocks in diameter. On one of the turns the helicopter made, the Empire State Building could be seen still standing. All Paul could do was stare at the TV.
After a couple of minutes the scene was cut and replaced by a reporter on the street. "Police are beginning to quartered off the immediate area surrounding Central Park.", she was obviously scared out of her wits. "One of the officers here has told local reporters to pass on the following information. Do not eat or drink anything. There is a chance that the bomb was a 'dirty bomb', and radioactive dust could infect food, and water. Even bottled water maybe a hazard as dust can settle around the lid, and get on your hands. Wait for rescue teams to arrive for decontamination. If you are inside, remain inside and block the air vents and spaces under doors to prevent further dust from coming inside. Rescue teams are on their way."
She was shaking at this point. "If you are currently downwind of the cloud, but not in the immediate area, it is important that you get out of harms way."
Paul noticed that ashes could be seen falling on the the reporters hair and shoulders like snow flakes. "My god", Paul thought "she's already dead and knows it."
Paul decided to check the local channels, surely by now the system had an update, but after what seemed to be an eternity all he could get was the emergency broadcast whistle. He turned back to the Northern Channel Network.
Levi stood outside the doorway to the hospital chapel, looking at the old stain glass window at the far end of the room. There were only two others within the chapel, a woman, and a man. He entered, and approached the alter. He reached into his coat pocket, and with drew a wrinkled and tattered piece of paper. The words were faded, but he was still able to read them.
" He has gone so far as to try to kill himself, and I think I am to late to help him. Please understand where I come from in this matter, he is my first true love, I cannot rest until I know that you have helped him. Only you have the wisdom, and words to reach him, only you could bring him back to me."
It still made him feel odd reading those words. She always seemed to raise him on a pedestal, but it was her that had always guided him in areas of the heart.
"O muse, o alto ingegno, or m'aiutate; o mente che scrivesti ciò ch'io vidi, qui si parrà la tua nobilitate." he whispered.....
The social worker looked into the patients room, checking to make sure he was still asleep. She had been working the night shift for the last week, and hated the first day on morning shift. Besides she still had a bit of a hang over from New Years' day. It wasn't just that, her apartment was freezing, the heat had been off for almost two days now, and the electricity was gone as well, which meant no television, at least here at the hospital she could get a hot cup of coffee.
She saw him first, an odd looking man wandering the corridors obviously lost. He was walking towards her, carrying what looked like a leather made hikers pack. Street bum was all she thought.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" she asked as he got closer.
He looked her over, it wasn't the normal browse that men tended to do to her, most men looked at her chest first, he checked out her eyes in a way that made her shudder, such blue eyes!
"Yes, I'm looking for my nephew, Dan Artie Leigh, I'm here to take him home." he said.
That was the name of the suicide patient she had just checked on, something wasn't right. He had no next of kin on record, and the only person he had mentioned during the interview was a women named Beatrice. "I'll have to check with the administrator, you can wait in the lobby downstairs, and I'll send someone to you."
"That would be good, there are many questions I would like to ask his doctor, like what medications he is on, and what I should pass onto the social services
back home, but to be honest I would rather pick him up tomorrow. I've only just arrived, and have had very little sleep that last few days. I only wanted to let him know I was here, I haven't even told Beatrice I arrived, is there a good hotel nearby I can check into?"
She thought a moment about it, he did look tired, and he wouldn't be taking him until tomorrow anyway. "There is the Hotel Due down the street. He's in room 8, you can get the release forms from the front office tomorrow."
"Thank you", he said, and slid by her into the room.
Dan was awake and staring out the window when Levi walked into the room. His eyes showed the sadness in him, and he looked tired. He turned his head to look at Levi, then back to the window.
"Beatrice sent me." Levi said.
Paul knew he was crazy. He was going the wrong way, even the cars that were now heading towards him knew it. It didn't matter anymore which side of the road barrier you were on, all roads lead away from Rome. If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to get the story out, he would have been long gone himself.
After his head had cleared he made the connection between the bombing, and the murders, and ran from the hotel room like everyone else. Only in his case he headed towards the city. Now he was facing oncoming traffic in the wrong lane. It wasn't a terrorist bombing, they were planning on wagging the dog.
He kept spinning the dial on the radio hoping to get some sort of local news station, which ever was up he was going to go to them. But first he had to make it to the office, most of his paper work was there, the proof of what was really going on had been in front him the whole time, he just never saw it. If only he had enough time before the President came on the air.
He had moved off to the outside shoulder, thinking there would be enough room for on coming traffic to avoid him. The yellow electric powered car that he found himself head to head with didn't have a chance against the older SUV.
Paul blacked out after the third roll.
Levi was sitting across from Dan in the hospital lounge drinking another cup of what went for coffee. The taste of beets was more noticeable to him now because he knew it was there. He was tired, and it took all of his mental energy just to get Dan to come downstairs to talk.
To Levi's relief, Dan began the conversation, "What was that you were going to say about oil?"
"It's a matter of context," Levi said as he took a sip of Krakus. "You would have to go back to coal, and follow the chain from there. A teacher named John Taylor Gatto wrote a book about the history of education, I read it last year when I was trying to figure out what was really going on. The book was a history lesson that I had never heard before. Coal changed everything, instead of children being raised by families, they began to be raised by the state. Instead of men finding fulfilling work, they became part of the conveyor belt we called the industrial revolution. And the reason for it was wealth, coal was wealth. But those in power were afraid of this wealth being accessible by anyone."
Levi didn't let Dan interrupt him, "It turns out that the best way to train people to be productive, and loyal to the company was to train them to be as stupid as possible. But what I really got out of the book was a different way of thinking about things. Gatto made the connection between the beginnings of the Industrial revolution, coal, and the failed educational system. It made me change the way I was approaching the problem of our society becoming more corrupt.
Instead of figuring out a way to get together with smarter people, I needed to know how information was passed around the country, and do something different. I figured that since coal was the beginning of the Industrial age, and that it had produced the massive transportation system we still basically use today, I would follow what happened to coal, and use that knowledge to predict what would happen next. A way of getting ahead of the game."
Dan asked him what he ended up predicting, while sipping his drink.
"That the game is over." Levi said, "We're living in a pipe dream in more ways then one. Although, I did follow what happened to coal, I ended up checking what happen before it. You see, it was true that coal was wealth, but before coal there was gold. Gold has always been the source for financial wealth, and always will be, but somehow we forgot this."
"So what does this have to do with oil?" Dan asked trying to sound interested, but he was honestly more intent on eating.
"The International Monetary Fund was an organization that maintained the exchange rates of currency between nations, before the 1970's gold was used as a standard to measure a dollar's worth, but in 1971 the United States dropped out of the Bretton Woods system. At the time they controlled most of the world's oil supply and recognized that the world was addicted to oil, so they tricked the other nations into using the US dollar when trading oil, they literally became the biggest drug pushers on the planet."
"I still don't understand, how could the government trick other nations?" Dan asked gaining a little interest.
"The IMF couldn't hold the monetary imbalances together, and the Bretton Woods system collapsed. Something was eating away at the world's gold based wealth. Just like coal before it, the government made slaves of everyone who needed a fossil fuel. The trick was that money needs something to be based on, since the USA didn't have all the world's gold under it's control they changed the standard, they made the US dollar based on oil, and forced everyone to trade oil in US dollars. Any nation which needed oil was then forced to exchange their currency to US currency to get oil, instead of comparing their monetary value against gold, they started comparing it to US dollars."
Levi look at Dan wondering if he was getting it. "Everyone thought that the USA was going along with the fiat system of money instead of gold, but they only pretended too. They were actually based off a limited supply of oil. It worked until two things happened, first Argentina started trading in Euro dollars instead of US dollars because they never signed any agreement to be limited to the US. Second, Oil started to run out."
"And now it's all gone, every last drop." Levi finished.
Dan stopped eating. "What do you mean it's all gone, we have at least 30 years left?";
"We've had thirty years left of oil for over thirty years Dan. They've been lying the whole time. And before you say you don't believe me, take a look outside." Levi replied.
"Oh Shit" was the first thought that crossed Paul's mind. He was upside down, and his pants, and shirt were wet.
Paul panicked, he had to get out, he had to get out now! He tried unbuckling the seat belt, but the button wouldn't release, the adrenaline in his blood was making his head pound, he could not only feel his heart beat, he could hear it. He remembered that he had a small knife in his pocket, he fumbled for it, and got lucky. As he was cutting away at the straps when it dawned on him that something else was wrong, his brain was fogged over, it was hard to think with the pounding in his head. He was missing something, he looked around, did he have anyone with him in the car? No. What was it? What was eating away at his mind, something was more wrong then just the gas "
There was a smell, but it wasn't gas. That's it! If he was covered from head to toe with gas wouldn't it smell like it? He looked up at his pants again. They were wet, soaked right through.
"Oh my God!". It was blood not gasoline.
The accident had almost thrown him out of his seat belt, it was no longer around his waist. Instead his legs had been braced, and were holding him upside down in his seat. If he had been wearing the should strap, he would have had less injury, including the huge gash on his right leg. The seat itself had been shifted when the metal of the car had bent in the process of flipping over. It had saved his life, so far. The seat belt had stopped the flow of blood, it had become a tunic, and he was trying to cut it off, it would end up killing him. Paul now realized that the pounding in his head was due to the amount of blood loss he had. He had to replace the tunic that was provided by God, with one he made himself.
He took his shirt off, moving his arms blow his head almost caused him to black out again. He took the gear shift off the ceiling below him, and used it to twist the shirt into a tunic around his leg. "Good", he thought. He then finished cutting the belt, and landed on his head.
His next thought was wondering if he had blacked out again. He wasn't sure, but his thoughts were quickly shifted to getting out the car. It was then he realized that none of the windows had broken during the accident. He tried breaking the widow, but could not shift his body around at the right angle to use his elbow, there just wasn't enough room. He was still trapped. He looked around at the things that had fallen out of the dash board, his wallet, a book called 'Failed States', and spark plugs for the car were all that he noticed.
There was something important about the spark plugs he couldn't remember. Paul tried hard to think, he was still inside the car, it was upside down, and it was important to assess what was going on. What did he know? He knew that a lot of time had happened since the accident, but he wasn't sure how much. He didn't have anything with him to tell the time, the dash board was smashed. He had his wallet, a book he had never gotten around to reading, and some useless spark plugs. But they weren't useless, there was something about them he just couldn't remember.
Then he remembered. During his first year as a journalist after college he had done the city crime beat. Petty little fluff pieces was all he had been assigned to cover as fillers to tack onto other main themes that were being reported on by more experienced reporters. He had done a report on auto theft, which was reduced to protecting the contents of cars rather then the cars themselves. It was during this time that he was trying to prove himself to the office, and that he tracked down and interviewed a know car thief. He had convinced him to share his secrets of the trade.
The ceramics around the spark plugs happened to be the perfect car thief tool. When it hits the window of the car's safety glass, the windshield shatters. He tried twisting the ceramics off, then tried hitting it against the window directly. Nothing, he was either to weak, or not doing it right. He had to get the ceramics out, then he would have to figure out a way to toss it hard enough. The dash board was twisted like his seat. There was a section of elbow bracket sticking out the plastic coverings, likely the same thing that had cut his leg in the first place, he could use it to snap the ceramics out of the plug. It broke into pieces easy, the ceramics was brittle it couldn't withstand the torque that the hole for the bolt provided. His wallet provided the other need. His wallet had been stuffed with business cards, credit cards, and other useless items, but it had been held together with a large rubber band.
Paul used the elastic band as a makeshift sling shot between his fingers, took a large chunk of the ceramic and aimed at the window.
Beads of glass fell, he was out.
The sun was now beating down on both Levi and Dan. To Dan it was a welcomed friend to finally be outside, to Levi however it was a sign that he had little sleep. They looked out across the garden which slopped downward to the park below, and at the horizon the city could be seen beyond.
Dan turned to Levi, "So what is it I'm suppose to see exactly, it looks normal to me."
"You need to pay more attention to details Dan, and use everything God gave you. What do you hear?"
Levi was now slowly walking down the garden hill.
"Nothing." replied Dan.
"Exactly." Levi said as he looked at Dan over his shoulder with a look that gave Dan pause.
There wasn't anything to listen to. No cars, sirens, bells, or any of the mirth of sounds one normally associated with the city and ignored. At first Dan thought it was normal, just a quiet day, but the silence was more pronounced, there was even the lack of humming of street lights, transformers, and air conditioners. There was nothing. It was if the sound track to a movie had suddenly stop during a scene that required at least a musical background.
"Where are you going?" Dan asked
"Home," Levi picked up his pace a little, "You welcome to come with me, Mary, Lucy and Beatrice are hoping you'll come."
"I should let the hospital know I'm leaving" Dan replied.
"They won't let you leave," Levi had stopped and turned to look up at Dan. "Your a mental patient, you have no rights. You can either come with me now into the forest, or the nurse will notice your out of your room. She will call a couple of security guards to find you, and take you back."
Dan thought about it for a moment, and then began walking down the path on the garden hill towards Levi.
Paul had managed to find his first aid kit in the trunk, and he surprised himself at the bandage job he had done on his leg. His brother had given him an emergency kit which was stored in the trunk along with the firs aid kit, there was also a sleeping bag, and some basic camping gear that his brother had insisted on. He half walked, half crawled, to the top of the embankment his car had flipped over. No one was around. Cars were jammed creating the world biggest traffic jam, but everyone was gone. It was like a scene out of an end of the world movie. He returned to the car, and gathered the emergency kit and sleeping bag his brother had provided. Paul laughed to himself, if his brother could see him now, he's never hear the end of it.

Shun the caste system: Himachal Pradesh High Court
The Himachal Pradesh High Court on Friday ruled that mentioning the caste of accused, victims or witnesses in criminal trials should be immediately stopped and directed the state's Home Secretary to frame guidelines for the investigating agencies to forthwith stop identifying of the accused, witnesses or victims by their caste.
"Mentioning of caste/status separately in the criminal proceedings is a colonial legacy and should be stopped forthwith. Right to dignity is a fundamental right, a basic human right. Human dignity is one of the basic features of the Constitution, which guarantees a casteless and classless society. Segmentation of the society into groups can not be determined by birth as all are born equal", said the High Court in a 19-page judgment.
The court added, "We should, as a public policy, shun the caste system." The observations were made by a division bench comprising Justices Rajiv Sharma and Sureshwar Thakur while dismissing an appeal filed by a life-term convict Krishan Kumar, who had set ablaze a young girl, Kalpana Kumari, after entering her house in Kangra district in August 2013.
The girl had apparently refused to marry Kumar. The victim died nine days after the incident. The trial court at Dharamshala had sentenced the accused to life imprisonment, apart from imposing a fine of Rs 2 lakh – This judgment was upheld by the High Court Friday.
The bench, making strong observations to invoke constitutional provisions, wrote "However, before parting with the judgment, it will be pertinent to mention that the police in inquest report, statement recorded under Section 154 CrPC, recovery memo and dying declaration have separately stated the caste of the accused as well as of the victim. This is not permissible."
The court ruled that the expression "right to life," includes the right to live with human dignity. "It is the bounden duty of the state not only to protect the human dignity but to facilitate it by taking positive steps in that direction," the judgment said.
Asking Principal Secretary (Home) to issue instructions to all the investigating officers in Himachal Pradesh, the court directed that they should stop immediate the practice of mentioning the caste of the accused, victims or witnesses in recovery memos, FIRs, seizure memos, inquest papers and other forms prescribed under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and Punjab Police Rules.

This is something I've been thinking about for a few months now.
How can I give more?
As a creative lifestyle blogger I come up with ideas, execute them, photograph, edit, write and promote my little brain to mush. I betcha that some weeks I work enough for at least a full-time job and then a part-time job on top of it.
I get something out of it too. I've made friends through blogging and social media channels that mean the world to me. Both the people I've met in person and those I haven't met. Yet.
I get to make things and work with good companies.
Plus I get to chat with you each day.
All of that fills my heart with joy.
But I wonder sometimes, "How can I give more?"
Most of you know I had a scary year and a half dealing with breast cancer but I'm through it now and growing strong. I have told my husband that when I can I want to donate a bit to Stewart's Caring Place – the cancer support center that was HUGELY helpful in getting me through.
But that hasn't happened. Yet.
Then it came to me. I want to donate 10% of my affiliate income to charity.
I want to start with Stewart's Caring Place for the rest of 2016.
I will post a report at the end of each month to let you know how we are doing.
Yes, we.
Because this includes YOU! YOU get to help.
Here is how it works.
When I post a project, (like a craft, and sometimes, even a recipe) I will do the "shopping" for you. I will find as many of the items I can from around the web and make a little shopping list for you in the supplies.
If you click on the link it will take you to the site where you can buy the item(s).
It won't cost you anything extra. Not one dime more.
At the end of each month I will tally the commission from affiliate links and I will donate 10% right off the top.
I also try to keep 1 affiliate ad in the right hand side bar just above my photo. If you see something you like there be sure to click through.
NOTE: Affiliate links use cookies. Cookies allow the affiliate programs to track where you go as you click from site to site on the web (Most websites use cookies these days). Most affiliate link cookies are good for 30 days – meaning that you can click on the link, add and item to your shopping cart, and come back a few days later and purchase your items and we will still get the credit.
The big exception to this is Amazon.com – the cookies on Amazon are only good for 24 hours. So if you click on a link in my site, fill your shopping cart, and then go away for a day or two none of those items will count toward our affiliate donation. If this happens, it's best to empty the shopping cart, come back and start over so that we get the credit.
Now I know that the first few months might be kind of slim as we get rolling so I'm going to donate $20 no matter what happens.
So the bottom line is this –
Read, Click, Shop, Enjoy and Donate without spending any extra money!

A good question, only I don't know anything about it. Never heard of it. For the moment I watch "desperate housewives" the second season, is there a third ? I really like it. I missed the first, because when I read "housewives" I run away !

X Factor finalist Jahmene Douglas has donned a onesie as part of Asda's Text Santa campaign.
He has been joined by Britain's Got Talent stars Ashleigh and Pudsey, girlband Stooshe and others as part of the campaign.
"I've been so blessed with all the support I've had from everyone during the X Factor competition and I really wanted to give something back this Christmas," Douglas said.
"Text Santa is raising awareness and funds for great causes, and to support, all you need to do is head to Asda and buy a Text Santa hat to donate to the amazing charities that will benefit."
Douglas and the other stars have joined forces for a Christmas fundraising video to raise money for charities that offer life-changing services to vulnerable people throughout the UK.
Asda will donate £10,000 to Text Santa for every 100,000 views of the video on its YouTube channel.
The Text Santa appeal culminates in an ITV1 show hosted by Christine Bleakley, Paddy McGuinness, Ant & Dec, Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield on December 21.
Asda is selling official Text Santa hats and Sketch Santa celebrity cards across the country.
Hats are priced at £1 (with a 15-33p donation made to Text Santa) and £2 for the flashing design (72p donation made to Text Santa). Packs of Text Santa charity cards are priced at £2.

This is the last weekend of the fabric sale at GDC. All fabrics, trims and wallpapers are 20% until September 30th. I thought I might share another easy DIY project for your weekend!! This is one that I've been wanting to do myself for a while now. I find that headboards simply finish your bedroom off. As the main reason for a bedroom is to sleep should your bed not be the center of attention? Of course a headboard is not the only way to spruce up your sleeping quarters but it's a fun and easy!
Tufted headboards take a little longer to make but in no way should that scare you. They are very do-able!! Here are a few more…
I love these simple shapes and bold color choices.
And as I leave you with these last few images remember a little goes a long way!

WESTFORD -- Tuesday's elections are guaranteed to bring significant changes, with a $1.6 million override on the ballot and new faces a certainty on several of the town's governing boards.
No incumbents are running for re-election on either the Board of Selectmen or the School Committee, both of which will have two seats up for election Tuesday. The Board of Health is also guaranteed to have a new member, and the town moderator will be new after 25 years under Ellen Harde.
Town Clerk Kaari Mai Tari said the races seem busier than some recent years, and although she could not predict final turnout, she said absentee ballots have been submitted at a higher rate than usual.
"We're seeing more absentee ballot activity than we typically do for town elections," she said. "That's typical of a busier election."
School Committee member Tom Clay, former Planning Board member Dennis Galvin and Fat Moon Farms owner Elizabeth Almeida will square off for two seats on the Board of Selectmen.
Two selectmen, Kelly Ross and Don Siriani, are not seeking re-election. Both had initially decided to run for town moderator, but Ross dropped out, leaving Siriani to compete with Susan McNeill Spuhler and Thomas Severo for the position.
Three new candidates, Megan Eckroth, Alicia Mallon and Gloria Miller, are also seeking election to the School Committee. They are running to fill the seats of David Keele and Erika Kohl, neither of whom is seeking re-election.
In a race for a one-year vacancy on the Board of Health, Shunhe Xiong will challenge Joanne Belanger, who had previously served on the board. Thomas Spuhler and Gary Lavelle will face off for a three-year seat on the Planning Board.
All other races are uncontested.
Tuesday's ballot will also seek approval for a $1.6 million Proposition 2 1/2 override, the second step necessary to implement the tax hike after it was approved at Town Meeting in March.
The override would increase teacher salaries to a level more competitive with their peers. School Committee members, who requested the override, have said teachers in Westford are paid an average of 4 to 8 percent less than teachers in comparable districts. They argue the increase is necessary to prevent staff from leaving for better-paying jobs and that doing so is not possible within the existing budget.
If approved, the override would permanently increase the average tax bill in Westford by $181.55 over three years: $61.27 in fiscal year 2018, and $60.14 in fiscal years 2019 and 2020.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. The polling places are:
Precincts 1, 3: Abbot Elementary School gymnasium, 25 Depot Road.
Precinct 2: Blanchard Middle School auditorium, 14 West St.
Precinct 4: Col. John Robinson School gymnasium, Concord Road.
Precinct 5: Stony Brook School auditorium, 9 Farmer Way.
Precinct 6: Rita Edwards Miller School gymnasium, 1 Mitchell Way.

How to Style a Wavy Bob
The Wavy Bob Styling Tricks That Changed My Life
Also Use a Paste or Gel Texturising Product
I got a bob in the hope of having hair that resembled either Lara Worthington's much-sought-after style or Kate Mara's textured cut — before they both got pixie cuts! I wasn't nervous about chopping off about 10-15cm of hair as I've had short hair before, but I've never had it the way I wanted: blunt ends, minimal layers, slightly longer at the front, texture and that effortless flip. (I have dead-straight Asian hair that generally refuses to be anything but dead-straight Asian hair.) Then I went to a hairdresser who really understood my vibe and gave me the best haircut I've had.
Missy Veyret from Stevie English Hair studied the photos in my "Hairspo" folder before giving me the chop, and as a bonus she shared some styling tips that have changed my life. That may seem like an exaggeration, but your hair is a big part of your everyday look, and after months of feeling "blah" about my hair I'm happy with how it looks all the time. Here's my new bob routine, illustrated by some of my favourite bob owners including Lucy Hale, Jennifer Lawrence and Alexa Chung.

Newcastle's on-loan striker Loic Remy gave an interview earlier this week, in which he thanked Newcastle for taking him on loan last August when other clubs balked because of the rape charges made against him and two other men last May, but he also said he wanted to join a top five club permanently in the summer.
Loic Remy – in action at Hull
Those comments were generally reported as Remy saying he would leave Newcastle in the summer, although he didn't mention any timeline specifically – but the assumption was it would be in the summer, when his loan move runs out on Tyneside.
And since he is being linked with some top clubs like Arsenal as one example, if they do make a move for him, it's extremely likely he will sign for a top club and not Newcastle.
But his comments have left the Newcastle manager unfazed, and Alan Pardew had this to say when asked about the French striker's comments:
"I wouldn't expect him to say anything less." "Of course he comes out of the limelight now, but what he has done for us has been terrific and I can't speak highly enough about him."
Remy picked up a calf injury in the France vs Holland game 10 days ago in Paris, and is out for three matches, and Mathieu Debuchy picked up a groin strain in the same game and he is out for four matches.
So we wonder if Newcastle are being compensated by the French Football Federation for these top players now missing these Newcastle games?
But with Remy being out it does give Luuk de Jong a chance to get some goals, which he needs to do if he is to get a permanent deal in the summer.
What do you think?
Comments welcome.
4 comments so far
on one hand i don't blame remy, but on the other, we should watch on our business, so – if we have no chances for europe or to be relegated, it is good time to introduce youth talents to first squad. shola, remy, ldj, cisse —> these guys are out soon (maybe not all of them, but it is possibility). so, why to not give a chance to armstrong, vuckic, aarons, etc. ? i hope luuk will find a goal today. fingers crossed – i like his fighting style.

Today was a day to change my password. When Sarah was hospitalized with early contractions I changed my password as a way to remember to pray for her. Now we are thanking God for the safe delivery of a full term baby.

A New Bird (and a New Chickadee)
I saw a new bird for my life list on our short trip to Houston. But this isn't it! This is a photo of a little blue heron that got close enough for me to digiscope nicely. I even got a short video of him catching something and gobbling it up.
My new bird was a red-breasted nuthatch, but he wouldn't stand still long enough for a photo. And legally-blind Gary saw it first!! My slowly growing life list is at 295.
But the BIG news around her is the birth of our grand-chickadee Micah! We give thanks to God for a safe and healthy baby after a very difficult pregnancy. If you're interested in more details, click over to my family blog.

Andrew's Birds
I'm jealous of the birds Andrew gets to keep seeing. He finally got his new camera battery working properly, so he's got some new photos to send my way. The first bird is a Pintailed Whydah and the second an Abyssinian Ground Hornbill.
Speaking of birds, a new grand-chickadee is being added to the nest tomorrow, Lord willing. We're driving to Houston to welcome Micah.

As the encomiums to Tim Russert continue to pile in, a few bloggers are pushing back, albeit with the expected respect. John Cole of Balloon Juice is pushing hardest:
I liked Tim Russert, even though I thought his … gotcha nonsense was thorough idiocy and not helping the debate at all. He was a likable guy- friendly, always smiling. I understand it is a loss for the beltway folks, and he had a lot of really good friends and meant a lot to people, and I would be dishonest if I failed to mention that I feel sad by his passing.
MSNBC has been running nothing but a 5 hour (and presumably it will go until 11 pm or beyond) marathon of Russert remembrance. CNN has done their due diligence, and Fox news has spent at least the last half hour talking non-stop about him.
But let's get something straight- what I am watching right now on the cable news shows is indicative of the problem- no clearer demonstration of the fact that they consider themselves to be players and the insiders and, well, part of the village, is needed. This is precisely the problem. They have walked the corridors of power so long that they honestly think they are the story. It is creepy and sick and the reason politicians get away with all the crap they get away with these days.
Tim Russert was a newsman. He was not the Pope. This is not the JFK assassination, or Reagan's death, or the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. A newsman died. We know you miss him, but please shut up and get back to work.
Doug Mataconis of Below the Beltway, who was a bit more emotional yesterday, sees Cole's point:
Cole refers, of course, to the still-non-stop coverage of Russert's death that continues on MSNBC. It's gone from remembering a good guy to a bunch of NBC hacks sitting around talking about him for no apparent reason other than filling up air time.
My other thought is that they should just shut up already and let his family mourn in peace.
A father lost his son, a son his father, and a wife her husband.
Anyone else who claims they miss the guy has no idea what those three people are going throug
Ann Althouse points out that The Atlantic's whiz kid, Matthew Yglesias, didn't have much to say about Russert's death, but had plenty to say about him in life, as per this 2007 Washington Monthly article titled "The Unbelievable Inanity of Tim Russert":
Actually, the balls Russert favors may be hard, but the pitches he throws aren't curveballs, which go someplace useful. They're sillyballs, which go somewhere pointless. Russert has created a strike zone of his own where toughness meets irrelevance. John McCain entered the zone last May, when he went on the show and repeatedly asserted that the Bush tax cuts had increased the federal government's revenue. Hearing this, a tough but conscientious journalist might have pointed out that this is demonstrably false. Russert, however, reached for a trusty hardball and sent it sailing. McCain, he pointed out, was now supporting extending the very same Bush tax cuts that he had once opposed.
Well, yes, but this was a bit like asking someone who says the world is flat why he used to say the earth was round. The contradiction Russert pointed out was real—but hardly central. In fact, if tax cuts actually had increased revenues, then McCain's change of heart would have been perfectly logical. The real problem was that McCain's theory of the relationship between tax rates and revenue wasn't true. In Russertland, though, as long as you acknowledge the contradiction, the questioner is satisfied.
Whether or not you buy Yglesias's conclusion — "Russert's goal isn't to inform his audience. He's there to 'make news' " — it's an insightful bit of thinking on the state of the political press, one well worth debating as we look to life without Tim Russert.

NEW DELHI--Moody's Investors Service on Tuesday lowered its forecast for India's economic expansion to 7% this fiscal year due to drier-than-usual weather conditions, although policy changes are expected to strengthen growth next year.
The ratings firm had previously forecast the south Asian economy would grow 7.5% in the year started April 1.
India received 10% less than the average levels of rainfall from the start of the monsoon season in June until Aug. 17, according to official data. The below-average rainfall has clouded prospects for farm production, which could hurt rural incomes and weigh on consumer demand, Moody's said.
For the next fiscal year, however, Moody's predicted India's economy would grow 7.5%, saying that the gradual implementation of policy changes will stimulate investment while low inflation will raise real income and boost consumption.
India's consumer inflation has been weaker than expected in recent months, helping build optimism that it would undershoot the Reserve Bank of India's 6% projection for January. If that happens, the chances of interest-rate cuts by the central bank to support growth would rise.
Moody's said in a report that the RBI's inflation targets look achievable unless commodity prices or food inflation deliver a large shock.

Decorating is the most exciting part of any new home, room or season. Making your space your own is always the best and makes you feel all cosy and homely. Prints and wall art are really important to us and we love to express our personalities and interests with them. But, what's the best way to choose the prints that you're going to hang in your home? Here are a few tips and what we usually do…
My three winter style essentials
I've found over this winter season that I've developed a few favourite pieces and wanted to share them with you guys! There's three styles that I'm loving, mini skirts that are A-Line (not tight, not flippy – A-Line!), the teeny tiny mini bag and chunky boots. Check out some of my favourites below.
5 things on my September wish list
As if it's September? It's basically autumn and summer is well and truly behind us. Well, I hope the weather realises so anyway because I always get so confused this time of year about what to wear. The day will start out freezing and you'll be sweating by lunchtime. Nightmare. Anyway, seeing as it's a whole new month I thought I'd share some items I'm lusting over for the new season.
6 super cute autumn wardrobe essentials
Autumn is going to catch up with us quicker than we think, I'm sure of it! It'll soon be September and time to pack away the sandals and get back into our boots. I've been loving some of the new in pieces on the high street at the moment and thought these 6 pieces would be perfect for the seasonal transition. They can all work together as well so they're great if you're a capsule wardrobe chick like I wish I was.
Monochrome + Stripes = Uniform
Just a little outfit post for a Friday, keepin' it light and not too serious for Good Friday. Hey Easter, four day weekend, I'm ready for you.
Whenever it comes to styling myself for blog shoots, shopping, generally getting dressed from day to day I always, always reach for something striped or something black. Or, like this outfit, the two together! This is a classic outfit for me switched up with some culottes over skinny jeans for a little something different.
Why I Wouldn't Want To Blog Full Time
A bit of a rambly post today, all about blogging and the world of influencers! At the moment, it feels like everyone is a blogger and also, at the same time, everyone is making it seriously big! These girls are giving up their jobs to be their own bosses, travel the world and absolutely smash it. I love following these girls, I love blogging and I (obviously) love paid jobs with brands I love but, would I want to do it full time?
Monogram > Monochrome
I'm usually a huge monochrome fiend as you probably know. I love to wear a lot of black, grey and white (well, white when I'm feeling brave and or not going near food or coffee) but occasionally I like a little pop of colour to an outfit and when I saw this bright yellow door near the castle in Nottingham, I knew I had to shoot an outfit photo here. Yep, I'm using a door as my pop of colour and I'm totally OK with that.
Holiday Style Inspiration
Today's post is coming at you scheduled in as I'm currently in sunny Portugal with my boyfriend and the in-laws, hopefully having an amazing time. The only issues I had with going on holiday were, a) I'm terrible at packing and b) I'm terrible at outfit planning and you kind of need to be able to do both to go on holiday when you're trying to pack light! We do that penny saving thing of only taking hand-luggage which is an awesome idea and it also makes you take less stuff and really think through what you're going to wear. Hopefully I'll have a holiday style diary to share with you guys next week when I'm back because I have meticulously planned my evening outfits!


text: Home > Entertainment Liza open to wear sexy costume for Darna role ABS-CBN News Posted at Jun 19 2017 11:35 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Just cause i love my new hair and my look for #ASAPFEBorito!!! ❤❤ @tingduque @renzpangilinan @perrytabora A post shared by Liza Soberano (@lizasoberano) on Feb 26, 2017 at 6:45am PST MANILA – Liza Soberano won't back down even if she would be required to wear a sexy superhero outfit as Darna in its upcoming film adaptation. Soberano's only condition is for the management to give her ample time to prepare herself to show some skin. "Whatever is approved by the management, 'yun po ang isusuot ko. But if I were to choose, anything naman actually as long as I am prepared for it," she said. Asked if she's willing to don a two-piece, the 19-year-old actress said: "Okay lang po basta prepared po ako. Hindi 'yung bibiglain ako na 'O suotin mo ito.'" In a separate interview, Rex Ravelo, the son of the late Darna creator Mars Ravelo, said people should expect Soberano to be slightly covered up as she flies as the Filipino superhero. "More covered compared to the ones before. Mas sexy ngayon 'yung medyo tago eh," said Ravelo. Darna's outfit has evolved through the years, with trends dictating her overall look. The superhero wore boy shorts in the '50s and '60s, high cuts in the '70s and '80s, tanga bottoms in the '90s, and hipster bottoms since the 2000s. Despite the minor changes, three elements are always found in Darna's costume: the winged headpiece, which symbolizes Ravelo's dream of becoming a pilot; the two stars on the bra top to depict the Philippine flag; and the bahag (loincloth), which shows her conservative side. Meanwhile, Soberano is still clueless on who her co-stars will be in the movie. "I actually don't have any idea on who will be with me on the movie so far. I can't think of anyone actually at the top of my mind to play Valentina because I don't know who could possibly do it," she said. When the idea was floated that Anne Curtis could be a perfect fit for the role, Soberano only has this to say: "Oh love ate Anne! I would love to work with ate Anne but, of course, it all depends on what they want, who they want to portray as Valentina." While she looks forward to playing the iconic superheroine, Soberano acknowledged that finding the right timing in doing the stunts would be challenging for her. "You have to look strong but not too strong because you don't want to hurt the person you're doing the scene with. You have to make it look believable because I'm not actually going to hurt 'yung ka-stunt ko," she explained. Nonetheless, Soberano will undergo a rigorous training to prepare for Darna. "Nakipag-meeting na po ako [kay direk Erik Matti]. They had me do a physical test in front of them siyempre para makita kung gaano rin po ako kalakas. Based on what I did in front of them, nakita po nila kung ano ang mga kailangan ko. Right now, I am working out with sir Bok Santos at the gym. Nagpapalakas po ako para sa mga stunts. I also do cardio. I run every Sunday," she said. Although there are mixed opinions about her playing Darna, Soberano is out to prove that she is indeed the rightful one.

So, here's a piece of news that's both uplifting and unsettling. First, the uplifting part: The FBI just voted, overwhelmingly, to update the archaic definition of rape. The current terminology -- which hasn't been updated since 1929 -- defines rape as the "carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will." Doesn't even really make sense. The new, yet-to-be-implemented wording is much more broad, describing rape as "penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim." Hopefully, the new, more-encompassing definition will put a stop to the thousands of sexual assaults that go uncounted each year.
As for the unsettling part: Is anyone else completely floored that this is just being updated now?
It really puts where rape and sexual assault fall on the government's priority list into perspective. Not only is the definition of rape 80+ years old, the revamping of the definition wasn't something that came out of the government's own volition. The update is the result of a huge, grassroots campaign launched by the Women's Law Project, the Feminist Majority Foundation (FMF), and Ms. magazine. Without them, the archaic definition would likely go unchanged for another 80 years.
Definition 2.0 has expounded upon the old one by taking out the requisite of a "forcible" assault and the limitation that the "rape" must be toward a woman. It also now includes non-vaginal/penile rape, and rape by a blood relative. It's pretty unbelievable that these things have not been part of the definition in the past few years. It makes it seem like the only kind of "rape" that would be prosecuted is some sort of medieval kind.
Nevertheless, it's a win. Feminists across the nation, including myself, are obviously pleased with the decision to change the description. Eleanor Smeal, president of Feminist Majority Foundation, said in a statement, "It's a great victory. This new definition will mean that, at long last, we will begin to see the full scope of this horrific violence, and that understanding will carry through to increased attention and resources for prevention and action." Amen. But it still doesn't diminish the fact that it took this long, and this much effort, to have it revised.
What do you think of the new -- and old -- definitions of "rape"?

Moog upgraded the Minitaur to Rev2, that is enough to save 100 patches and jump through them with one key hold as "SHIFT" key – which is quite clever to handle.
– and Decay and Release now control different things in "one time for decaying envelope" mode. this works from the panel, no software needed.
the best one is this:
Minitaur's CV and Gate inputs are now assignable from the Minitaur Editor/Librarian software. The Pitch and Mod CV inputs can be routed to any function, while the Gate input can be routed to functions with on/off behavior. REV 2 also enables Minitaur to effectively function as an intuitive CV to MIDI converter. -> so – 2 CVs and 1 Gate to set up ranging to 5V.
the update is free, so all bass belong to them, as "they" say at Moog..
btw- that Q25 Keyboard from Alesis was one of the nicer small and MIDI capable Keyboards made (and not too big) – update: seems it is still available

They made such cute astronauts!
It took me a little while to get my manual settings correct for the indoor lighting. I was doing better by the time the next group came on stage, the 3rd-6th graders, who also attend a one-room school (actually the school has more than one room, but all 15 kids are in the same classroom with one teacher). They took us to the tropics for a pirate-themed play with lots of song and dance numbers.
They had obviously put in a lot of time to get the choreography right and memorize all the songs and lines.
Afterwards Santa arrived, and my kids ran to get in line to visit them.
Desert Boy had no qualms about sitting on Santa's lap. He asked for a toy light saber. But later, in the retelling, it sounded like he wanted a toilet saver. So now that's a family joke.
Desert Girl wasn't at all certain about sitting on Santa's lap. She couldn't think of what she wanted. She got uncomfortable.
I thought she might cry. Finally she got her bag of candy, peanuts, and a Cutie, and quickly departed.
Most of the kids enjoyed their visits with Santa, though, including this little guy whose father was afraid that his child might recognize Santa. I think he was safe.
Merry Christmas! The excitement is building in our house.

I recently purchased a Samsung washer and dryer from Sears' website. Since making that purchase, I've become convinced that Sears' customer service has no interest in actually offering any real service to their customers. Because in Sears' eyes, it's Sears that's always right, not their customer.
Let me start from the beginning…
My wife and I recently moved in to a new home and needed to purchase a washer and dryer. We had originally placed an order through Lowe's, but Lowe's was having a lot of problems received the machines from Samsung, so I decided to cancel that order and place a new order through Sears because Sears had the machines already in stock and were able to deliver them within a couple days. We had to spend a bit more money by going through Sears, but it seemed worth it to not have to wait any longer to get the machines.
I initially placed my order with Sears on the evening of February 24, 2016. The order included a Samsung washer, Samsung dryer, a dryer plug and vent hose, water hoses for the washer, and a Samsung stacking kit (since the machines were to be stacked in a laundry closet). Within an hour, I received an e-mail from Sears stating that my order had been cancelled due to an error in their system. Not a big deal, technology fails all the time for no reason what so ever. So I went ahead and I placed my order again and actually managed to find a slightly better deal by purchasing the washer and dryer as a pair, so I was feeling pretty good and even a little grateful for the error. I requested to have the items delivered on Saturday and was charged a small fee for the weekend delivery. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with Sears.
I received a call on Friday evening stating that my machines would be delivered between 8am and 10am. I woke up early on Saturday so I could make sure everything was ready for the delivery team when they arrived. At 8:25am I received a phone call from the Sears delivery department informing me that my dryer had been dented and they would not be delivering it today. Having worked at Sears for a few years, and knowing that it was (at least at some point in time) Sears policy to offer damaged machines to their customers at a discounted price, I was fairly angry that the delivery had been cancelled without asking me if I still wanted the machine. After a very long call with customer service, I finally spoke with a supervisor who was able to offer me a gift card for the trouble, and re-scheduled my delivery for Monday after 6pm, because we both work and aren't able to be home any earlier than that. Ok, fine.
Sunday evening, I receive a call from Sears delivery informing me that the delivery window was from 1:30 – 3:30, failure number 2. After a call with Sears, they rescheduled my delivery for Tuesday after 6, assuring me that the delivery would actually occur after 6. So I rush home on Tuesday, and the delivery team arrives right at 6. The driver informs me that they do not have a dryer on their truck and it's not listed on their order sheet, but they do have the dryer cable, vent and stacking kit. So now I've gone from frustrated to furious. I've taken time out of my day twice, left work early to be home in time to receive the delivery, and Sears fails to come through, again. After another very lengthy phone call, the delivery is rescheduled for Thursday evening, also promising again that the delivery team would arrive after 6 pm. The supervisor also assured me that we would be receiving a refund on our order for $70. I still haven't received that $70. I confirm with her that the order contains the washer and dryer, dryer cord, dryer vent, and the stacking kit.
Anyway, Wednesday evening, I get the automated call again confirming the 6pm delivery time. Wednesday afternoon, around 4:30, I receive a voicemail from Sears telling me their delivery team will arrive in the next half hour. Since I was at work over an hour away, obviously there was no way for me to be home before 5. So I place another angry call to Sears delivery, they tell me that they will have the delivery team wait and they will arrive by 6. So I rush home again, arriving home by about 5:40, and I wait. Finally, at 6:40 I call Sears again, I'm told that since I didn't answer the phone, the delivery was cancelled. Now I'm about ready to lose it. I get a supervisor on the phone again and after a good 15 minutes of her repeating the same thing over and over again, she finally agrees to contact the warehouse and they will have the team come back and deliver the machines. She confirms that she has spoken to the team and they are on their way. So we wait, and wait, and wait some more. Finally, at 9:15, I call Sears again. Now I'm irate. I finally get another supervisor on the phone, and they have no record of anyone telling me that the delivery team would be returning, and that they will not be coming back tonight. After another 30 minute phone call, going back and forth with no explanation as to why someone had lied to me about the delivery, I agreed to have the machines delivered on Friday, and was told I would be receiving a call with the delivery window.
Around 9:30 Friday morning, having not received a call from Sears, I called them to get my delivery window. I was told that I did not have a delivery scheduled for Friday, but they could schedule one for Saturday. Since I was at work, I didn't have the time to sit around for another 30 minutes and argue with them, so I agreed to the Saturday morning delivery, I also made sure to confirm with her that all of the items are going to be on the truck, and my machines will both arrive and be installed. I get the automated call Friday evening with a delivery window of 8:15 – 10:15. Fine.
6:50am Saturday morning, I get a call from the delivery team, they'll be arriving in about 20 minutes. An hour early, no time to wake up and get ready, but at least they're finally on their way. So the team shows up, we go up to where the machines will be installed, and the guy is confused by the fact that I want the machines stacked. Turns out, it's because there is no stacking kit in their order so they're unable to install them. Amazing. The delivery driver puts me on the phone with his supervisor who confirms there is no stacking kit on the order and offers no options to resolve the problem, just tells me that I'll have to reschedule the delivery. Not wanting to risk having another botched delivery, I have the team leave the machines so I at least have those in my possession.
The guys leave, I get on the phone with Sears again. This time I don't even bother explaining the situation to an agent, I just ask for a supervisor, after the third request she transfers me to someone. The supervisor informs me that there was a mistake in the order and the stacking kit was on a different truck and we were the third stop for them, they were expected to arrive between 8:15 – 10:15. Seems legit since that was my original delivery window.
So 10:30 rolls around, still no delivery. I call Sears again. I spend 40 minutes on the phone, roughly 30 of that on hold. The agent tells me there is no second delivery, and can't offer any explanation as to why someone would have told me that. She also informs me that the stacking kit was never on my order and if I wanted one I would have to order one and have it shipped out to me. Transfer to supervisor. After about a 40 minute hold, supervisor finally gets on the phone. Still refuses to offer any explanation about the second delivery, tells me again (probably about 5 times during a 5 – 6 minute conversation) that the kit was never ordered. I placed that order myself, it was ordered.
She transfers me to the on-line department, who basically tells me that same story. After a total of 2 hours on the phone, we finally agree to have Sears deliver the stacking kit on Sunday and the team will install the washer and dryer. The supervisor promises she has checked with the delivery team and they will definitely be here on Sunday, and we can expect a call between 6pm and 9pm with the delivery window. I still go no explanation as to why I was told it was being delivered today, and no one that I spoke to has any concern at all that I was lied to. There was also no consideration for the fact that the stacking kit was in my original order, there was no apology for the mistake, just the supervisor placing blame on me and taking no responsibility what so ever.
It's now 11pm on Saturday, I have not received a call from Sears with my delivery window.
It's now been over a week since I placed my order. This entire ordeal has been a mind blowing failure on the entire customer service department at Sears. I have been lied to on multiple occasions, I have been left on hold for a ridiculous amount of time, and not a single person has offered and real assistance or made any effort to follow through and make sure our case is being taken care of. I've been treated as though I'm the one who has caused all of these issues, and I'm beyond sick of dealing with Sears.
I'm angry, I'm frustrated, I'm stressed. I have never witnessed such a blatant disregard for quality of service. No one at Sears has made any attempt to contact me, in fact they seem to do what ever it takes, including lying, to get me off the phone when I call them. This isn't even about a washer and dryer anymore, this is about a company that has no concern for their customer, and is completely unwilling to treat me with any sort of decency and respect.
I'm baffled and speechless. Shame on you Sears.
Reason of review: Poor customer service.
Monetary Loss: $500.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
I liked: Price.
I didn't like: Missed promised delivery and customer service call handling, Lack of professionalism of staff, Lack of respect, Lack of communication.
Sorry for your ordeal but I'm glad to see that I am not alone in my frustration with Sears. Mine involves service, or lack of on a 6 mo.
old LG washer. First two appointments, time was taken off work & no one shows. We received all the automated calls saying our Tech would be there in 20 min. Two people were needed on service call but not scheduled due to the washer & dryer being stacked.
Don't call, just don't show up & go home for the day. When someone finally shows up on the third appointment, parts are ordered & delivered to us. The fourth time, the day they are to be installed, the new Tech says the noise the washer is making is normal, takes the parts & leaves!!! Still no repair, no satisfaction, JUST FRUSTRATION!!
My suggestion to you is that you return the washer & dryer and start all over with someone else.
It's not worth the few $$ you may have saved. God help you if you ever need service!!

Getting U-Boats to be more, German...
Hey all
I'm kind of swapping between versions of Silent Hunter at the moment, having got a bit fed up with SH 5 crashing on me, going between 3 and 5, trying to get them all set up nicely, to how I like to play, and whilst I think I have my US stuff how I'd like it I'd like to make the U-Boats in SH IV more German.
To me they seem to still be American, basically it feels as though Ubisoft took the main US content and stuck a U-Boat shell around it without removing some of the US content (like the voices). The same I guess could be said of SH III as the voices are American, at times it feels like I'm actually playing U-571 rather than Das Boot...
I guess one problem is that I can read a little German, but not much and I don't speak German fluently, I only know a few select words, so ideally text has to be in English and voices have to be English also, but I'd be more than happy with voices similar to SH 5 German accented English voices (if such a mod exists). Ambient/background voices in German are no problem though.
I've got Operation Monsun installed.
I've also installed OMEGU - although I've had to make a second install of SH IV because OMEGU is not compatible with the OTC mod I have installed for my US Subs, so it seems I can't use it and play both German and US subs in the same game install. I've also had to remove the speech files as they're in German and I have no idea what my crew are saying to me...
What other mods can I install to de-USify the U-Boats in SH IV?
Also Is there a mod for Operation Monsun, like OTC, which adds the ship lengths to the recognition manual? EDIT - nevermind, I had OTC installed and that caused the RM to not show the lengths for ships on the U-Boats. I uninstalled it and OM actually does have the lengths displayed in the RM.
And, also, I noticed that once I installed Operation Monsun the map contacts when you zoom in on them on the map, rather than showing me a boat shape just show a dot. As I'm not Otto Kretschmer I don't find that at all helpful, it makes lining myself up on a ship very difficult (for me), and I'd like to change that back to the default way of showing map contacts - please could someone point me to the files which would need to be changed to do that - just need the filenames, assuming it's all dds controlled, I am capable enough to do the rest? Or is there a mod already which does this?
EDIT - I've found the files that change the map ship icons myself, although obviously I need to make new files for the ships added by Operation Monsun, the others I have deleted and that's returned the ship icons to normal, rather than a dot...
Thanks in advance.
