If, as research suggests, the psychological trait of sensation seeking is the catalyst for youthful delinquency, might high emotional intelligence (EI; having empathy for other people's emotions and good control over one's own) act as a calming restraint? That was the question Alison Bacon her colleagues posed in their study of 96 undergrads (average age 20; 48 women).Their "surprising and unprecedented" discovery was that for women, not only did high EI not moderate the link between sensation s........

The Gendered Society contained 12 errors about evolutionary psychology, morethan any other book in this evaluation. Evolutionary theory is universally accepted among the mainstream science community. And yet, when the evolutionary perspective is applied to human behaviour, the approach continues to meet with resistance, and in some cases outright disdain.A team led by Benjamin Winegard thinks part of the reason is because of the misrepresentation of evolutionary psychology in textbooks, esp........

The built environment shapes our behaviour profoundly - piazzas and park benches promote unplanned encounters between strangers whereas car-friendly streets have the opposite effect, the efficiency of speedy travel promoting "streets as corridors" over "streets as sociable space".What's true at the level of cities also applies within buildings, including student residences. This has been investigated in the past, one famous example being Leon Festinger's 1950 study that suggested students fo........ Read more »

In 1920, in what would become one of the most infamous and controversial studies in psychology, a pair of researchers at Johns Hopkins University taught a little baby boy to fear a white rat. For decades, the true identity and subsequent fate of this poor infant nicknamed "Little Albert" has remained a mystery.But recently this has changed, thanks to the tireless detective work of two independent groups of scholars. Now there are competing proposals for who Little Albert was and what became of h........ Read more »

Researchers say they've uncovered a simple technique that improves students' memory for passages of text. All that's required is to tell the students that they're going to have to teach the material to someone else.Fifty-six undergrads were split into two groups. One group were told that they had 10 minutes to study a 1500-word passage about fictional depictions of The Charge of The Light Brigade, and that they would be tested on it afterwards. The other group were similarly given 10 minutes to ........ Read more »

Three years ago psychologists reported that we assume people who like sweet food are also sweet natured. More surprisingly perhaps, Brian Meier and his colleagues also found that the sweet-toothed really do have more agreeable personalities and are more inclined to behave altruistically.How far can we trust these eye-catching results? There is a growing recognition in psychology of the need to attempt replications of past findings. In that spirit, a new paper led by Michael Ashton has attempted ........ Read more »

Do humans have an infidelity radar?We can identify a surprising amount of information about each other from the briefest of glimpses - a process that psychologists call thin-slicing. In the latest study in this area, a group led by Nathaniel Lambert have explored whether we can watch a romantic couple interact and tell within minutes whether one of them is a cheat.Fifty-one student participants (35 women) in a relationship answered survey questions about their own infidelities toward their curre........

Tim Cook, CEO of Apple Inc, attends the 2013 Allen & Co conference.It's often assumed that a desire to reduce income inequality is held only by people on lower pay, or by those who endorse left-wing views. However, a new study of over 55,000 people (average age 47; 55 per cent were female) across 40 countries on 6 continents finds a universal desire to reduce the gap between the highest and lowest paid workers.

We've all experienced rudeness at work; at the time it's offensive and can harm our creativity, but it bears even darker fruits in the long-term, as repeated exposure is associated with depression, anxiety and psychological distress.How do people deal with rudeness? When is it buried away, and when addressed? A new study suggests that we actually tend to ignore it most of the time. However more offensive acts may set us off – unless we are particularly emotionally sensitive, in which case,........ Read more »

The sad thing about children's exam nerves is that their fears often become self-fulfilling. Too much anxiety and they can end up under-performing relative to their abilities.A team of psychologists led by Fred Paas and colleagues has taken a cognitive psychology approach to this situation.

If you've ever felt acutely self conscious upon making eye contact with another person, a new study may help you understand why. Matias Baltazar and his colleagues have found that making eye contact activates people's awareness of their own bodies. That feeling of self consciousness induced by mutual gaze might be based in part on the fact that your brain is suddenly more attuned to your body.The researchers presented 32 participants with a series of positive and negative images on a computer sc........

Academia remains heavily gendered, thanks in part to historical stereotypes that assert men are suited to solving complex problems and ready to put "great works" over other concerns such as community or family.

We like to think of ourselves as the top of the class when it comes to intelligence in the animal kingdom. Our inventions and scientific progress are testament to that claim, and yet there are some ways in which our complex brains let us down.

A key finding from neuroscience research over the last few decades is that non-conscious preparatory brain activity appears to precede the subjective feeling of making a decision. Some neuroscientists, like Sam Harris, have argued that this shows our sense of free will is an illusion.

Workplace research through the 20th Century suggested that selecting for intelligence is the best way to identify good performers. General mental ability (GMA), a popular recruitment measure that maps closely to the colloquial meaning of "intelligence", is strongly correlated with on-the job performance, well ahead of any other single measure.This consistent finding came from studies that mostly defined job performance as carrying out the duties expected in that role. Although intuitive, this ne........ Read more »

By guest blogger Peter Kinderman"I've been rich and I've been poor. Believe me, rich is better" (Mae West). Critiques of the rather discredited "disease-model" of mental illness are commonplace, but we also need to articulate the alternative.

There's a snobbishness about relaxation time. Tell someone your hobby is watching TV and chances are they'll look at you with derision. Mention meditation, reading or yoga and you're far more likely to attract nods of approval.And yet there is substantial evidence that time watching TV or playing video games can have a powerful restorative effect - just what many of us need after a hard day.

There's a best practice guide for teachers, produced by the Association of School Psychologists in the US, that states praise is best given to pupils in private. This advice is not based on experimental research - there hasn't been any - but on surveys of student preferences, and on the rationale that pupils could be embarrassed by receiving praise in public.Now, in the first study of its kind, John Blaze and his colleagues have systematically compared the effect of public and private praise (al........

Construction Materials Prices Flat in May
Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc / June 13, 2014
Overall construction materials prices remained flat in May but are up 1.6 percent year over year according to the June 13 Producer Price Index release supplied by the U.S. Department of Labor. Nonresidential construction materials prices fell 0.2 percent for the month but are 1.3 percent higher than at the same time one year ago.
"With construction spending expanding only in fits and starts and given recent evidence of disappointing global economic performance, it comes as little surprise that most construction materials prices are not rising," said Associated Builders and ContractorsRead More
America's Growth Corridors: The Key to a National Revival – A New Report
Joel Kotkin / New Geography / February 26, 2013
In the wake of the 2012 presidential election, some political commentators have written political obituaries of the "red" or conservative-leaning states, envisioning a brave new world dominated by fashionably blue bastions in the Northeast or California. But political fortunes are notoriously fickle, while economic trends tend to be more enduring.
These trends point to a U.S. economic future dominated by four growth corridors that are generally less dense, more affordable, and markedly more conservative and pro-business: the Great Plains, the Intermountain West, theRead More
Cars and Robust Cities Are Fundamentally Incompatible
Chris McCahill and Norman Garrick / The Atlantic / February 12, 2013
Big roads and parking garages are so common in American cities that it's easy to forget these places once functioned exceptionally well without them. However, in their persistent battle to satisfy the demands of motorists, many urban areas are losing out.
In the early 1960s – when highway construction was at its peak and cars were just beginning to leave their mark – a handful of critics predicted there would be irreconcilable tensions between vibrant cities and their motorized inhabitants. Nearly 50 years later, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania published researchRead More

DNR announces process to revisit deer population goals in 2015
DNR designates new wildlife lands for public use
Small game hunter survey results released
Public invited to comment on special fishing regulations
DNR announces process to revisit deer population goals in 2015
Preliminary details of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' upcoming 2015 deer population goal-setting process now are available on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/deer.
"Working with citizens to achieve conservation and management goals is integral to the mission of the DNR," said Leslie McInenly, DNR big game program leader. "To make sure that goals are based on the broad range of public interest in deer, we use a public process to help determine how many deer to manage for in a given area."
Deer population goals will be set for 40 of Minnesota's 128 deer permit areas during the upcoming process, which formally kicks off in October when nominations open for advisory team members and concludes in May 2015 with the announcement of final goals. Large portions of northeastern, north-central and east-central Minnesota will be affected.
Areas selected for goal setting in 2015 are:
There will be opportunities for broad public input through public meetings as well as online and written questionnaires prior to convening a citizen advisory team for each area. The DNR also is collecting representative data on public desires using hunter and landowner mail surveys administered by the University of Minnesota.
"The public participation process has been designed to include input from anyone who has an interest in deer management," McInenly said. "Citizen team members also will be selected to represent the range of public interests, including hunting, wildlife viewing, natural resource management and local business interests."
This is the third year the DNR has worked with citizens to reassess and re-establish deer population goals in Minnesota. Goals for southwestern and a portion of northern Minnesota were set in 2012. Goals for southeastern Minnesota were set last year. Goals for the deer permit areas not part of the 2015 process will be set in 2016.
A timeline showing opportunities for public input is available online at www.mndnr.gov/deer. The DNR will seek advisory team nominations for each of the five affected areas in October and select members in January 2015. Each team will review relevant biological and social data as well as public input. Teams will recommend population goals for each deer permit area in their assigned areas. The public will have an opportunity to comment on the advisory teams' recommendations before the DNR makes its final decision about goals.
White-tailed deer are an important resource to the state of Minnesota. Nearly 500,000 individuals hunt deer and countless other people enjoy viewing deer in the state.
Nationally, deer managers look at deer density goals as a societal issue more so than a biological issue. Deer are capable of achieving high densities so are generally managed at a level of social tolerance rather than managed for the maximum number that can be supported by the habitat. This involves balancing desires of hunters, wildlife watchers and others who may support higher deer densities with those of farmers, foresters or others who experience conflicts with deer who may favor lower deer densities.
People interested in learning more about deer management and public input opportunities during the goal-setting process should subscribe to the DNR's Deer Notes email newsletter at www.mndnr.gov/deer.

DNR designates new wildlife lands for public use
Hunters, wildlife enthusiasts and wildlife populations now have 4,254 more acres of state wildlife management areas (WMA) available in an expansion that includes 31 existing WMAs and eight new ones in 24 counties.
"These jewels of Minnesota's landscape can be found in more than 1,500 different WMAs in 86 of the 87 counties in the state," said Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Tom Landwehr. "Adding more acreage to the WMA system would not be possible without the work of conservation-minded individuals and groups that partner with the DNR to acquire land for future generations to enjoy."
Landwehr noted that more than 2,900 acres of the new WMA land was acquired through partners including Ducks Unlimited, Pheasants Forever, Trust for Public Land, The Nature Conservancy, and numerous other individuals, groups and government organizations.
The total area managed as WMAs is more than 1.3 million acres in Minnesota. Nearly all WMAs are open to public hunting and trapping, as well as other uses such as hiking, wildlife watching and cross country skiing.
"Most of the newly added tracts of WMA land represent additions to existing WMAs, which complements our previous investment in wildlife habitat," said Ed Boggess, DNR Fish and Wildlife Division director. "The newly designated land will expand outdoor opportunities. Many of these additions help meet the DNR's priority to protect the remaining native prairie lands in the state."
One example is the newly added 615-acre Minnesota Veterans WMA in Wright and Stearns counties, which received support from a long list of donors.
"This amazing property is large and diverse, with many outstanding natural features," said DNR Area Wildlife Manager Fred Bengtson. "It includes restored prairie, mature oak forest, planted oaks, sedge meadow, emergent marsh, over a half-mile of the Clearwater River, and a small lake."
Public funding
Statewide, more than 2,600 of the 4,254 new acres were purchased with funding from the Outdoor Heritage Fund, one of four funds created by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment approved by Minnesota citizens in 2008. The Outdoor Heritage Fund receives one-third of the money raised by the sales tax increase that resulted from passage of the amendment.
Other major funding sources include appropriations from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources, the $6.50 surcharge on each small game hunting license sold, and the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Critical Habitat Matching Program that equally matches private donations of cash or lands.
The RIM matching dollars come from the sale of the critical habitat license plates. The $30 per year charge for each of these colorful plates generates over $3 million a year that can be used to equally match private donations. The RIM matching dollars are used to acquire or develop critical habitat in the state.
WMA locations
Those looking to find existing public hunting, fishing and trail access can use the DNR Recreation Compass feature online at www.mndnr.gov/maps/compass.html, or can purchase DNR Public Recreation Information Maps (PRIM) from the DNR gift shop, Minnesota's Bookstore, or several sporting goods and map stores around the state. PRIM maps may also be purchased online at www.comm.media.state.mn.us/bookstore/mnbookstore.asp?page=mnprim.
Maps of the newly dedicated WMA lands are not currently available, as managers will be posting and developing parking lots and accesses on the lands over the next several months. The newly designated WMA lands will be added to the Recreation Compass and the PRIM maps in the future.
New WMAs
Expanded WMAs
Fewer game bird hunters took to Minnesota's fields and forests in 2013, according to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources annual small game survey.
In 2013, the number of pheasant hunters was 62,100, representing a decrease of 19 percent from 2012.
An estimated 77,900 people hunted ducks, a decrease of 5 percent from 2012.
Ruffed grouse hunter numbers were estimated at 81,100, a decrease of 11 percent from 2012.
Statewide estimates show small game hunters harvested about 169,100 pheasants, 782,800 ducks, and 288,400 ruffed grouse in 2013, with margins of error in the results of between five and six percent.
Individual hunter success rates were comparable to 2012. Pheasant hunters harvested an average of 2.7 pheasants in 2013 compared to 3.3 pheasants in 2012. Duck hunters harvested an average of 10.2 ducks in 2013 compared to 9.1 in 2012. Ruffed grouse hunters harvested an average of 3.6 grouse in 2013 compared to 3.7 in 2012.
The DNR annually surveys small game hunters to make estimates of both hunter numbers and harvest trends. For the 2013 season, 7,000 small game license buyers were surveyed of which 3,589 surveys were returned and usable.
The complete report is on the DNR website at www.mndnr.gov/publications/wildlife.
Public invited to comment on special fishing regulations
Anglers and others can give their opinions about fishing regulations that are in place or are newly proposed on 16 lakes and two river segments.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has scheduled 13 public meetings across the state in coming weeks to review regulations, and the DNR is also accepting written and verbal public comments on the regulations before and 10 days after each meeting.
The meetings will include:
"The goal of experimental and special regulations on individual waters is to expand opportunities for anglers to experience quality fishing," said Al Stevens, DNR fisheries program consultant. "We also need to sustain good fishing in light of more people fishing, and anglers who are catching more fish."
During the past 30 years, fisheries managers have monitored a variety of regulations across Minnesota and learned much from efforts to improve fish populations using regulations that limit the length and number of fish anglers can keep.
"We have shown that we can sustain quality populations of panfish, northern pike, bass and walleye by using special regulations," said Don Pereira, DNR fisheries section chief. "And if experimental regulations are successful, then regulations can be replicated on similar waters where fisheries managers and anglers agree they would help improve or maintain quality fishing."
Experimental regulations are in effect for a specific period of time, typically 10 to 15 years. Before the regulation ends, fisheries managers must evaluate the regulation and then gather input from public meetings to help determine whether to extend, modify or drop the existing experimental regulations.
"Public participation is critical in determining whether proposed and existing regulations are meeting angler expectations," Stevens said. "DNR fisheries managers welcome the chance to hear opinions from anglers."
In the spring of 2014, signs were posted at public access points at waters that will be evaluated this year. Public notices for each meeting will be published in local newspapers. For more information about a specific meeting, check online at www.mndnr.gov/fishing/meetings.
Open house details
Written or verbal comments also will be accepted at local fisheries offices up to 10 days following a local meeting. Telephone numbers of local fisheries offices can be found online at www.mndnr.gov/areas/fisheries, or on page 85 of the 2014 Fishing Regulations handbook.
For those unable to attend a local meeting, there will be an open house at the St. Paul DNR headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24. No formal presentations will be made. However, staff will be available to take comments on any proposal. Comments will be accepted through Friday, Oct. 3, and may also be submitted by email to email@example.com or by calling 651-259-5239.

30" gas range Dacor? Jenn Air? Viking?
hi we are a growing family of 7 . We don't eat out much and are upgrading our kitchen. We have room for a 30" range ( replacing a newer Jenn Air) and could squeeze a 36" range in. We would like to add a proper hood ( good bye over the range microwave hood) trimmed to match our new cabinets. The local salespeople keep pushing the pro style Jenn Air, but I'm not convinced. We are considering Dacor also Wolf and Viking are available. We use our range everyday - for everyday cooking, pasta and home made sauce, pot roast, stews, etc also need the sitters to be able to heat up a can of soup... The oven is used for roasting meats, home made pizza or home made Mac and cheese and 7 birthday cakes per year. We are willing to invest in high quality, reliable, attractive range that we will be satisfied for the next 10-15 years. We aren't looking to impress our friends and ate also leary of too many electronic touchpad controls. My budget for range and hood is approx $4k-5k.
Any help is appreciated!
Have you considered induction? Some (I!!!) say it's the wave of the future. Plenty of info on CH about the science of it. Here's what I have --- for about $1700.
ETA: Curious why you're focusing on the high end brands?
re: c oliver
Interesting. It wasn't something we were considering. We currently have a slide I gas range and we like it. I suppose a high end pro style range is on keeping with the rest of our house/ finishes in the kitchen. That said it isn't only about that. We are leaning toward the Dacor, but wanted to make sure. We love our Bosch dw and are planning on installing 2 paneled ones in the new kitchen because we found our current one to handle the 1-2 x daily run with no problems. Usually we like to buy great products and then use them like crazy and not worry about them. In the next 8 years we wl starting sending kids to University so this remodel will need to be built to last.
re: c oliver
C Oliver,
I am intrigued by your satisfaction with an induction cooktop. I have several questions: (1) The link you provided describes a stove with only ONE induction burner and THREE radiant burners. Is that what you purchased? (2) Apparently some kinds of metal are unusable for induction cooking--obviously ceramic, but anything else? (3) Can you use non-stick cookware? (4) For high end cooktops, to me, BTUs are what I am paying for. How do induction cooktops compare?
(5) Does the magnetic nature of the cooktop play havoc with your watch or high end appliances with computer chips in them? (I am thinking in particular about my stick blender, which I like to use right in the pan still on the cooktop.) (6) How finicky are induction cooktops about metal pans being absolutely flat?
The idea of cooking on a surface that stays mostly cool and that heats up instantly is intriguing. I'll say that! Thanks!
re: gfr1111
Not co, and I have only messed with friends' induction cooktops (my kitchen remodel is perpetually scheduled for next year), but...
1. According to Samsung, that range has "4 full induction cooktop burners." http://www.samsung.com/us/appliances/...
2. Only magnetic metal pans work on an induction cooktop. Cast iron (enameled or no) works great, as does carbon steel. But copper, aluminum, and some stainless pans don't work. Most stainless made in the last ten years or so works fine; the simplest way to test is to see if a refrigerator magnet sticks to the bottom of the pan.
3. So long as the non-stick coating is laid down on an induction-compatible pan, yes. But much of the nonstick cookware out there is aluminum.
4. This is the good stuff. Induction kicks gas's butt when it comes to power. The highest-power element on a low-end induction cooktop is 2400 watts, which is about like a 17,000 btu gas burner - something you're only going to find on high-end ranges. And even a mid-range induction cooktop will go up as high as 3700 watts, the equivalent of over 26,000 btus. The pan heats up just as fast if not faster than with gas, and small amounts of water boil in seconds, not minutes.
5. No.
6. They're not.
re: alanbarnes
Way cool. I decided to have breakfast before replying and ab did all the work for me. Thanks, kiddo.
There's a lot of info on CH about induction. If you search and include politeness (a CH and ardent user of induction) you'll get much better explanations than I can give. And find an appliance store where you can actually see it working. That clinched it for me. Not only do you get all the power that Alan mentions but the low end is fantastic. With my previous gas, my lowest was sometimes not low enough. I can now make Bolognese sauce and actually maintain it where a bubble only occasionally breaks the surface. AND as I've told Alan, I'd buy it again JUST for the ease in cleanup. It seems I'm an incurably messy cook. What a delight it is to have a completely flat surface.
To close, I would encourage everyone who is planning to replace to at least investigate induction. It's changed my (cooking) life :)
re: c oliver
C oliver, I bought a portable induction unit that I use with a 10" Lodge cast iron skillet that lines up perfectly with the outlined circle on the cooktop. I'm getting a 4 inch circle of heat in the middle of the pan that is noticeably hotter than the rest of the pan. Do you encounter this with a real induction range? I'm looking at the Electrolux 30" induction range, but this circle of heat in the center of the pan has me concerned.
re: Rick
It's all about coil size. An induction element only heats that part of a pan that is directly over its coil. There isn't a direct correlation between diameter and power, but lower-powered elements tend to have smaller coils.
I'd be willing to bet your portable unit has a 4-inch coil. The Electrolux range has elements that are 6, 7, 8, and 10 inches - the coils are probably slightly smaller than that, but they're still probably bigger than the little one on your portable.
Best way to find out is to look under the hood. Lift the glass and the coils are easy to see. But I'll guarantee that the coils on that range are bigger then four inches.
My most recent experience is with purchasing a built in oven rather than a range, but what I learned can help you with that part of the decision. One (or at least not many) factory makes the thermometers that go into ovens. After a thermometer is made each gets tested for its responsiveness and sensitivity. Then, thermometers get divided into batches. I think the range is less than a 5 degree temperature swing, a 10 degree temperature swing, and a more than 10 degree temperature swing in the top three categories of ovens. Viking and Wolf use the most sensitive thermometers. Thermador and (I think) Jenn Air were in the second tier and Kitchen Aid is in the third tier. There are a considerable number of brands with even wider temperature swings.
(Incidentally, when I learned this in my shopping, I shared this with my husband who is a scientist. He confirmed that this method of making a sensor device and then identifying its sensitivity is a fairly standard manufacturing technique. He named two sensors that scientists in his company use that are produced the same way. When ordering the part, the scientists specificy what degree of sensitivty they want.)
I'll use the most sensitive thermometer to illustrate what this means. If you set the oven to 350 degrees, the oven will not get hotter than 355 degrees before the heating element shuts off. Then, the oven will not cool to any lower than 345 degrees before the heating element turns back on. Obviously, in ovens with wider temperature swings, you could be talking about a 30 degree swing.
The salesman recommend I think about the majority of my cooking and decide on what degree of sentivity I need. Baking requires very small temperature variation. Long, slow braising can tolerate less precision.
I went with a Viking oven.
I separately bought a Thermador gas cooktop two years ago and I've been very happy with details like two simmer burners and a central high BTU burner. That decision was made more spur of the moment so I can't claim any particular research behind the choice.
Good luck!
If you can really fit in a 36" range, the oven size is a real plus in my opinion. I am not a fan of Jenn Air, downdraft systems SUCK. I had a couple that wanted to get rid of all the Viking appliances in their remodel. Thermador has proven realiable and I like their burners, a vast majority of my clients have been very happy with Thermador. Wolf convection ovens are wonderful if you are a baker, their convection is one of the best. This go around on my kitchen I am going for the Dacor. I have always liked the product and wanted to put one in, so now or never. The 36" Dacor dual fuel range is close to $8000.00, not including a proper hood. Not sure how much the 30" is.
My experience with Jenn-Air has been uniformly negative. Their "pro-style" is way more "style" than "pro." I currently have a Dacor cooktop and am not thrilled with it, either. And friends tell horror stories about their Vikings.
Were I shopping for a gas range or cooktop right now, I'd be looking very seriously at FiveStar and BlueStar. High power, minimal bells and whistles (which tend to break), and better value than brands that advertise heavily in kitchen design magazines. (A significant portion of the cost of every Viking stove goes to help cover a **very** large advertising budget.)
But my friends who've gone with induction can't stop singing its praises, so my inclination is to go that route instead of gas when we finally get to the long-awaited kitchen remodel.
re: alanbarnes
And hopefully I'm one of the friends you're referring to :) I can't imagine going back to gas. We did two house exchanges over Christmas and New Years and I had to use two very high end gas cooktops. Couldn't wait to get back home to my induction. It's pretty life-changing :)
I have a 6 burner Dacor and have been happy with it for fifteen years. Last year I bought a grill for the middle burners. I have never had any problem with it, easy to clean, still looks new.
re: sedimental
A neighbor has a Dacor and it malfunctioned and set her house on fire! The self-cleaning control malfunctioned and it just kept getting hotter and hotter and hotter, finally melting the solder (excuse me if my terms are incorrect) on the gas line creating a little mini-blow torch. Burn through the back of the range and set the wall behind it on fire. Gratefully they were at home and awake, smelled the smoke and called the fire department. She had a nightmare (not life-threatening this time) with her SubZero fridge. She said if she could throw them off the second floor deck she'd gladly do that and NEVER get another high-end, la-dee-dah brand again.
re: c oliver
Malfunctions can happen on any brand. That's too bad about your neighbor. I have only had malfunctions on cheaper brand appliances -but more importantly- cheaper brands have not lasted as long for me. I tend to buy la -dee-dah brands now. I find lasting longer is well worth the money.
re: sedimental
I can honestly say that the only malfunction I've ever had on any large appliance was an icemaker problem on my newish Samsung French door fridge. So I feel sorry for you that you've had other problems. 'Course, I'd never "step down" to gas again :) I can't imagine ever giving up induction. BTW, I know someone who paid something like $5-7K for a Wolf (I believe) induction cooktop and has had major problems. Here I stand with my $1700 Samsung induction/convection RANGE and it works SO well.
re: sedimental
It's an indisputable fact that high-end appliances have a higher incidence of repair than mass-market stuff. That may have something to do with replacement cost (it makes more sense to pay for a $1000 repair on a $5000 stove than on one that was $500 new), but IMO there's absolutely no correlation between price and reliability.
re: alanbarnes
I think that is true (about getting high end appliances repaired, instead of new ones). I just threw away a Maytag washer that was 3 years old. It cost more to repair it than I paid for it. I had a long talk with the repair guy that made me ill about the quality of US washing machines at this time in history (but thats another topic).
But, I still have all my high end appliances. None have been thrown out. They all look new and work like new. I have had service calls on them once or twice in 15 to 20 years , but never for manufacturing problems. Those calls were not after only 3 years- they were after 10 years. Big difference.
Of course, it depends on what type of appliance you are talking about, but IMHO I *do* think most high ends are actually more reliable as well. There are quality differences and workmanship differences that matter over time. Especially if you buy commercial appliances (and alot of homeowners don't even look at commercial stuff and sometimes they should). My commercial Brasilia Espresso machine has had one service call in 15 years. My neighbor has gone through 4 coffee pots and 2 mini espresso machines in the same time period (a few were just upgrades). I know this because she came over a few weeks ago and was asking about how to get one. I reminded her how she mercilessly teased me about opening up my own coffee shop with it, yada, yada- before I told her.
So, I would never discourage people from looking at high end appliances or commercial appliances. I think they need to match their use pattern to the appliance, before deciding.
re: sedimental
I agree with you when it comes to true commercial stuff. Anything that can stand up to the rigors of a professional kitchen will likely be trouble-free at home. OTOH, the OP is asking about ranges, and installing a commercial range in a residential kitchen is problematic to say the least.
But I disagree with you when it comes to high-end residential appliances. The Viking stove is the ne plus ultra of upscale kitchen design, but it may well be the most unreliable range on the market. According to Consumer Reports, of all the models considered, Viking scored dead last for reliability.
re: alanbarnes
Well, I have never had a viking but I'll take your word for it. My Dacor range is residential and has been a workhorse. I would buy another one. I don't trust Consumer Reports, they have been extremely unreliable for me.
I think people forget that they can check out commercial equipment and appliances and compare them to the residential items to see the differences. It really helps me to do that- even if I end up going residential. It is a good comparative tool.
re: sedimental
I had more recent Dacor appliances-3 years ago and it was a nightmare.. I bought them on their previous reviews. I had the ER36D range and wall oven with Discovery controller. They had a multitude of problems but the main one being they couldn't maintain a set temp. I fooled with them and their fixes for 7 months. At the low point, they promised to expedite a third wall oven by the next week so I would have something to cook with for thanksgiving. I heard nothing so called the distributor and they knew nothing. When I tried to call Dacor they told me basically everyone wants their oven fixed so get in line.
I finally insisted on my money back as I had the appliances for 7 months and never had a working range.or oven. At this point it was Christmas I was physically sick that I spent that much on appliances and had nothing to bake in. They did agree with pressure from the dealer to buy them back and told me it would take 3 weeks to get my check. I finally got it 6-8 weeks later and ran to the bank. If anyone was dependent on getting their money back to buy new appliances, you would be outta luck. Mine is not an isolated instance. I know of others in my city who have had issues and received an email yesterday from someone having the same problems wanting to know how mine was resolved.
I was a little gun shy at first but bought a Wolf DF and Electrolux oven. I did initially have trouble with the Electrolux flaking enamel but they were no quibble in replacing it and these appliances have been trouble free.
Anyone can have problems but it is how they treat their customers.
The sad thing about appliances today is past performance and reliability has nothing to do with the way they are made today as you found out with your Maytag. If you want to get a quick idea about quality, go pull a knob off of a Dacor ER36D and compare it to others, especially a Wolf.
re: wekick
Wow. That is sad. I guess quality workmanship is really harder to find now. I guess I should really consider getting all my good stuff repaired and not replaced! My Maytag experience may not be an isolated incident after all. That is one of the troubles I have with Consumer Reports. They test current models and rate them, then...ooops...it turns out to be a piece of crap 3 years later. I learned more by talking to repair people. THEY can be a wealth of information!
re: sedimental
If there is a way get get it repaired I would. If I droned on and on about my appliances that I put in when we remodeled, you wouldn't believe it.
Not one appliance including the microwave came intact. That was just the starting point. Also you really have to watch who you do business with.
My parents have their original refrigerator that is 60 years old and still running with one service call many years ago. We attended an auction a few months ago that had a frig from 1935 running like a top. There was a young guy there that collects them and bought it. He was so excited and said they are more energy efficient than you think. I didn't have the heart to bid against him or I would have bought it. Those days when appliances were made to last are gone for the most part.
re: sedimental
I totally agree about talking to independent appliance repair people about their experiences with various brands; if I'd done that, I never would have bought my Bosch double wall ovens a couple of years ago. I curse that control panel EVERY time I use it!
re: wekick
I have a Dacor 30 inch gas slide in. It's five years old, and been serviced four times. Two days ago the wiring started to burn. I am sure it will cost at least 500 to fix it, and I am not going to bother. I will never touch this brand again.
re: c oliver
I have turned into such a high-end phobe that I can't bring myself to replace my piece o'crap GE Monogram fridge. It's a counter-depth built in, so the only thing that will fit in its space is a high end something or other. When I read stories like yours, I quake and try to keep my horrid appliance going for just a bit longer, in the hope that the fridge fairy will sneak in and replace it with something awesome. But it is 10 years old, and 10 years in fridge years is old....
re: Isolda
Good news - counter-depth refrigerators are hitting the mainstream. They're still priced at a premium, but odds are when the GE finally gives up the ghost you can fit some Samsung or LG reliability into that space.
re: alanbarnes
I just got rid of an LG, I wouldn't go there.
re: JEN10
According to JD Power & Associates, LG initial quality and reliability are better than any other manufacturer except Samsung. They've got linear compressors, which are inherently less failure-prone, and their warranty is the best in the industry. It sucks to get a bad unit, but that's less likely with an LG than with just about any other brand.
re: alanbarnes
It wasn't the motor/ compressors, it was the design of the unit. It was cheaply made, the drawers were falling apart and did not glide well. I was not thrilled with the interior functions of the fridge. It was a "french door" model and I found the capacity lacking. Fortunetly it has left the house.
My mom has a 6 burner gas Wolf range with convection oven and she absolutely loves it. It doesn't have any electronic touch pads, just traditional knobs and and on/off rocker switch for the convection fan and the light.
I have a 30" Dacor gas cooktop that I purchased about 2.5 years ago and I love, love, love it! There was definitely a learning curve associated with figuring out which burners to use for which cooking functions, depending on the high and low-end of the BTU output for each burner, but I must say that coming from an electric Jenn-Air, the Dacor is a dream.
re: CindyJ
My main issues were the ovens which were a newer design. My burners were ok except the knobs which were just flimsy. Is yours a rangetop or cooktop? The reason I bought the range was the unique set up of the cooking platforms with the 16 inch middle platform. Now that I have the Wolf, I like all the burners being the same except the smaller burner. The real problem for me though was how they treat their customers. You wouldn't know that until you have issues.
re: wekick
Mine's a cooktop, and I have no problem with the quality of the knobs. They're easy to remove for cleaning. I did have a problem with one of the knobs' LED indicator light burning out, but it was still under warranty and the bulb was replaced quickly. The repairman even left a couple of spare LED bulbs, even though he said these things usually last forever.
I have one burner with a "simmer" setting, but I find that setting too low for simmering something in a large pot. So when I want to simmer something like sauce or stock for a long time, I slide the pot to a lower-BTU burner, which I keep on a low setting, and it simmers beautifully. I'd buy the Dacor again in a heartbeat.
re: CindyJ
One of the (many) things I love about my induction is that there are NO knobs. My settings include simmer and low at the bottom end and high and power boost at the top end, with about ten settings in between. That's on all the burners.
re: c oliver
I considered induction when I replaced my cooktop, but the thought of having to replace some of my much-loved cookware deterred me. Also, I had been looking forward to finally being able to use a wok with the gas cooktop. Are you able to use a wok with an induction cooking surface?
re: CindyJ
My most-loved cookware is CI so I got to keep those. Our 30 y.o. daughter got the rest. She referred to it as "Christmas in February." My wok is flat-bottomed and magnetic so, yes, it works. However, a CH mentioned here that s/he uses a CI skillet in place of a wok (not induction just generally) and actually prefers it. I need to try that also. I do encourage people on CH when picking out cookware to go for induction compatible as I do believe it's going to become more and more common as the prices are coming down.
Well I have visited the in town appliance store and saw the 30" Viking AG open burner floor model is available for $3900,a 36" Jenn Air AG sealed range floor model for $3000, and a 30" AG Thermador sealed top range for $4200 also a floor model. I also saw the Wolf ( not on sale) and then drove up to the Dacor appliance dealer. The Dacor 30" is $3700 AG, sealed, new. I really liked it best and we are thinking of getting a warming drawer and the Dacor refrigerator also.
We purchase the Jenn Air pro-style about 4 years ago and are disappointed - I sure wish I would have read what CHers had to say before making the purchase. We have a dual-fuel. The downdraft sucks the flame with it (altho I think you said you're going with a hood, so that wouldn't be an issue for you). And, the oven takes FOREVER to get to temperature (electric). If I were to do it all over again I certainly wouldn't get the Jenn Air, and, I'd eliminate the downdraft and install a snazzy hood. My two cents!
If you have access to Consumer Reports online, check out their ratings on stoves, as well as repair history for the brands they have tested.
re: jeckert
Hey jeckert, I'm looking at the American Range Performer. No gadgets, high BTU output, dual gas.
I started a thread but there doesn't seem to be too many AR users.
Hi JRed here. We went with the Dacor and it was the perfect choice for us. No issues to date. The burners and grates are easy to maintain. Love how easy it is to operate- even my husband, kids, sitters etc can figure it out. 5 knobs and 2 switches for the convection feature and light. We went with a Best by Broan hood insert exhaust
system. We are a family of 8 now and find the freestanding Dacor gas range perfect for us- plenty of capacity!
re: walker
We ended up buying everything at Abt.com faucets dishwashers refrigerator and we got a very good price for everything including freight. Our salesman was Tim at Abt. Highly recommend.

Yes it is the 30" Dacor has range.

re: AlizaRGE
I still really like it. I really love that there is no electronic control panel. I had a Jenn Air and also dishwasher and a washing machine where these panels died. There isn't even a clock on my Dacor range. Cleaning it is also easier than my old Jenn Air. My older kids can operate it easily and so can my sitter, my mother and even my husband.
Highly recommend.
re: AlizaRGE
I haven't had issues. You could always get a little oven temp thermometer just to be safe.
I follow the manual and
I always let it preheat and never put on the convection fan until it is preheated (the pre heating light goes off). I also don't open and close the door when baking/roasting. I suspect some issues may be due to failure to follow instructions correctly.
When we remodeled 5 years ago, we considered all of the brands you recommend, but our Certified Kitchen Designers strongly suggested that we save some bucks and go with a Bosch Dual Fuel range (it's 30") and a Jenn-Air hood. We followed her advice and could not be happier. The cooktop has the perfect assortment of gas burners, from super hot to the lowest simmer, and the electric oven is amazing with every possible setting from convection roast, to proofing (from 85 - 100 degrees) which does a wonderful job with frozen croissants! The oven controls are, of course, electronic, and are extremely intuitive and not touchpad. We cannot recommend this range highly enough…it's great! Oh…and it has a warming drawer which we use daily to heat plates, or keep food warm…it's wonderful! (But…if I were doing it now, I'd look closely at induction cooktops…not sure I'd go that route, but I'd look!)
not to introduce a new set of choices, but we got the Thermador 30" range + oven and a zephyr fan. PRobably puts you in the $6k range although Thermador throws in a nice bosch dishwasher if that is something you are upgrading near term. We love all the additions. The range has 4 large burners (i hate when the back burners are small) and the range hood is quiet but effective. And the dishwasher, as to be expected is also incredibly quiet. All-in-all we have been very pleased with our purchase.
edit: also, the range / oven do not have any touch panels, which I also detest, as we had such a unit at the old rental we lived in. It's all knob / switch based, whcih is just fine by me.
re: FattyDumplin
I already bought a Zephyr hood, which we've run a couple times during this remodel, and it seems to work nicely. (I was cooking and my old electric went wild and burnt some oil, as it does now and then. The hood sucked up the smoke nicely!)
We aren't replacing our Asko dishwasher, so really I'm just trying to figure out the stove.
Sounds like you are really happy with the Thermador!

Evandale is a small town in northern Tasmania, Australia. It sits on the banks of the South Esk River 18 km south of Launceston. A classified historic town, many of its buildings remain largely in original condition. It is famous for a popular Sunday market and as host to the annual World Penny Farthing bicycle Championships.[2] At the 2006 census, Evandale had a population of 1,059.[1]
There is a primary school, churches, parks, pubs, shops and a fire station. Nearby locations include Nile, Deddington and Perth.
Originally founded as Collins Hill by Governor Lachlan Macquarie in 1811, it was also known as Morven before being named Evansdale (1829) and finally Evandale in 1836 after the surveyor and painter George William Evans, who spent much of his later life in Van Diemen's Land. Many continued to call it Morven beyond mid-century, including in official contexts. Evandale Post Office opened on 1 June 1835.[3]
John Batman, the founder of Melbourne, and landscape painter John Glover lived near the town with Glover memorialised in an annual art prize and a statue at Falls Park. John Kelly, father of the bushranger Ned Kelly, worked in the township as a convict.
A Scottish mariner, Captain Andrew Barclay, was granted 500 acres (2.0 km2) of land on the South Esk River in 1816, and another 300 acres (121 ha) the next year. On this he built 'Trafalgar', the earliest surviving building in Evandale, and one of the oldest farmhouses in Australia. In 1824, he built the now-demolished homestead of 'Cambock' on the village's outskirts. Barclay continued acquiring land in the surrounding district and by 1828 was considered the largest owner of good land on the island. The names of roads like Barclay Street, Cambock Lane, and Trafalgar Lane mark his influence. He died in 1839. In 1842, John Kelly was assigned to Cambock Estate, then owned by Andrew Barclay's daughter, Mary Kenworthy.
In 1876, the Tasmanian Main Line Company opened a narrow (1,067 mm) gauge line from Hobart to Evandale where it connected with the broad (1,600 mm) gauge Launceston and Western Railway from Launceston and Deloraine, built in 1871. It remained a break-of-gauge station until the Evandale-Deloraine line was converted to narrow gauge in 1888.
Statues In Evandale[edit]
Numerous statues are found in Evandale including:
- Harry Murray in Memorial Park (highly decorated World War I soldier)
- An anonymous penny-farthing rider on the corner of Russell and Scone Streets
- John Glover in Falls Park
Notable people from Evandale[edit]

Cornel West: And we are blessed to have one of the exemplary figures when it comes to genuine conviction and commitment. You may not always agree with our dear brother, I know Brother Tavis and I do not, but he is our dear brother. We're talking about former Congressman and medical doctor, Ron Paul, who has run for president, both from the Libertarian ticket and also the Republican Party. He has a following across this nation, and he has respect from many, no matter how much you disagree with him. Brother Ron Paul, what a blessing to have you here.
Ron Paul: Thank you very much, it's really nice to be with both of you.
Tavis Smiley: Congressman, it's good to have you on. Let me start by asking you how you made the decision to do "Ron Paul's America". You're about to debut twice-daily commentaries and weekly podcasts. Before I got started on this years ago, when I used to listen to Paul Harvey as a kid growing up in Indiana, I was just taken and fascinated by his style and his delivery. I didn't always agree with what he had to say, but my first exposure to real insightful commentary was this guy named Paul Harvey. And now that you've left Congress, you're joining the ranks in the world that Dr. West and I have had, so tell me about this new "Ron Paul's America".
Ron Paul: There you go starting off with something we agree with, because I remember so clearly listening to Paul Harvey, and I had dinner with him once and I thought it was marvelous. To me, he was a real giant for radio, so we have that in common. But starting with radio, probably the most important reason I had two requirements for doing something in my afterlife, and in politics they say there is really a life after Washington DC. And that involved not straying too far from my home because I'm about 60 miles away from a studio, and this is one thing. Like today, I'm not in a studio, but modern technology allows us to communicate. And the other thing is, I was invited to do it. So those two things came together and I enjoy talking about the issues, matter of fact, I enjoy a lot more when it's not involved with the demagoguery that goes on in the U.S. Congress, that wears me down. All the talking and little action wears me down. So I enjoy a conversation where we can have friendly discussions and friendly disagreements.

Life is about progress, not perfection.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
If you're a "nice guy" to a girl up until you realize she doesn't want to date you, then go on about how she's a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no girls date nice guys, like, nah mate, girls do date nice guys. You just aren't a nice guy. You're a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious victim complex.

Even though the NFL season is what seems like eons away, experts from around the web will put out their predictions for how the 2014 season will unfold. Vegas has already put out the betting numbers for the amount of wins for each team and the Rams came in at 7.5.
Last season I had the Rams going 10-6 and then making a surprise run to the NFC Championship game, when in reality they went 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the ninth straight season. To say I was off is an understatement, but then again, how was I supposed to know it would be Kellen Clemens and not Sam Bradford who would be starting for the Rams for half the season.
Im taking another crack at the way-too-early game by game predictions in hopes to do better. Here are my 2014 predictions for the St. Louis Rams.
Week 1: Minnesota Vikings
For the second straight season the Rams open at home in the Edward Jones Dome, this time not against a division opponent, but to a Vikings team looking to become respectable with a new coach and new quarterback. The Rams lost to the Vikings in 2012 by the final score of 36-22.
I believe this time will be different. The Rams will be ready and the Edward Jones Dome will be electric just like it was in week one last season. The key will be to contain Adrian Peterson. Rams start the season 1-0.
Rams 31 Vikings 17
Week 2: @Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Rams have beaten Tampa Bay the last two seasons. This time however, the Buccaneers have a good coach in Lovie Smith. The Buccaneers lost Darrell Revis, but signed Alterraun Verner to a pretty good defense, they also drafted Mike Evans to give the offense another big target and you can't forget about Doug Martin. Tampa Bay could be a surprise team in 2014, they have potential.
I actually believe this game is going to be a lot closer than many people think, the big question will be is if the Rams defensive line can dominate the game like they did last season. I'd like to give the Rams the benefit of the doubt here, but I can't bring myself to do it.
Rams 20 Buccaneers 23
Week 3: Dallas Cowboys
If the Rams can hold Demarco Murray to under 200 yards rushing, I would consider it a success. The Cowboys dominated the Rams last season, but that was in Dallas and this one is in St. Louis. However, the Cowboys haven't lost in week three since 2002, and haven't lost to the Rams since 2008 in a game that Steven Jackson completely took over.
It will be crucial that the Rams go into the bye week with a winning record. The Cowboys lost Jason Hatcher and Demarcus Ware in the offseason. There will be question marks on the defense. If the Rams can run the football and stop the Cowboys offense, the Rams will win this game
Rams 27 Cowboys 24
Week 4: Bye
I have the Rams going into the bye at 2-1, and if they want to make the playoffs, they may have to. However, I could very easily see them coming into the early bye week at 3-0 or even as low as 1-2. 2-1 however, will put them in pretty good shape.
Week 5: @Philadelphia Eagles
I will be at this game, so the Rams better come out with a win. However, getting a win in Philadelphia is going to be a challenge. The Eagles have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL, and even without DeSean Jackson, their offense is dynamic.
This game is going to be a challenging one for the Rams. However, if the secondary can contain the Eagles wide receivers and they contain LeSean McCoy, I can see a win. That is what this game will come down to. Also, Nick Foles has a tendency to hold on to the football too long and doesn't like to throw the ball away, but he also doesn't turn the ball over. This game is on the road which could be the difference
Rams 17 Eagles 24

Everytime I see one of these pantry doors with an eched glass in it I ask what the glass is for. The quick answer comes just before the dumb smile and answer is always the same.
( To let the light in )
Did some test fitting tonight, and I am very excited about what the preliminary results are showing. The photos are just slightly darker than real life. The light is a touch cool for my tastes, but I also purchased a strand of lights that were called warm white, so maybe those will be more my style. Haven't plugged them in yet.
Before and After
Picking the wrong libation can be devastating. This requires good lighting!
So did 24 watts worth of LED light work out for a closet of this size?
I like it, looks great, have you found a switch yet? I think this kind of thing would be great for storage like under the stairs.
I would suggest you run the light strips under each level. You can use this for the connections:
here's you switch
Can someone confirm the wiring if I am going to go this route? I'm using a Lutron motion sensor. It has 4 wires: two black, one green, and one unshielded. Based on the instructions, I believe the green and unshielded are both grounds.
I have the lights on and running. Just need to make sure y'all concur with my set-up.
No and No
The outlet you are starting from has white on one side and black on the other side. Black to brass screw and white to the silver screw. Do not add more wires to the screws, use pigtails instead.
1. remove the outlet and make a short white and black pigtail about 6" long. Twist the 3 blacks together and add a wire nut, twist the 3 whites together and add a wire nut tape the nuts and re-install the outlet using the pigtails and don't forget to join all the grounds and the box and the outlet..
2. in the switch box, join the 2 white wires together with a wire nut. Each black wire from the switch gets a black, one from the other outlet and one to the new outlet, don't forget the grounds, green and bear.
3 in the new outlet, white to the silver side black to the brass side.
This unit will not work if the grounds are not hooked up.
I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time following those directions. Could you sketch it out?

Italian federation hands 11-year-old player 2-month ban for racial slurs
An 11-year-old Italian boy has been handed a two-month ban after he racially insulted a referee during a youth game in Tuscany.
The incident happened on Oct. 18 when the boy, who was not even on the field at the time for AC Prato in their game against Maliseti, "repeatedly made racial insults" from the bench, according to reports. He was shown the red card by the referee and ordered to leave the area.
An automatic ban was imposed while the matter was investigated.
That investigation has now concluded...
