Keurig B70 Platinum Single-cup Home Brewing System
May I begin by saying: "I LOVE Overstock!! I ordered this brewing system for my adult son's birthday. He isn't the easiest person to buy for, but he really appreciates & likes the Keurig B70. Anytime I'm able to purchase something he likes...I feel great! You know men, it isn't always easy to purchase something you can afford, that they will like & that they haven't already purchased for themselves. The price, compared to other stores, is outstanding & the delivery costs are unbelievable. This, to me, is the very best coffee maker on the market, since I have an older model myself. Anyhow, thanks for reading my opinion & if you need a Birthday or Christmas present, may I suggest you buy it from Overstock. You won't be disappointed. Thanks.Read More
love, love, love
I love this Keurig Platinum. I have bought the other less expensive Keurig models for my family members and after using theirs I felt guilty because mine is so much better. We pretty much leave it on all the time since we are either making coffee, chai latte, or tea all day long. I love it and don't know what I ever did without it.Read More
Do not buy
If you have a working B70 you are quite lucky. Some B70 models do not work. They are lemons.. I purchased mine at COSTCO and it did not work. I called KEURIG. They took through a process of cleaning the machine. Descale with vinegar. Using a paperclip to clean the inside. Nothing worked. Keurig indicated they would send me a new machine. The new machine was the B70WR. The B70WR is the machine to get. It is just great. No problems. It is recommended by Keurig for all models that you descale every 3-6 months. Use a paper clip to clean the coffee grain in the holder, and the around the above needle. If you have a problem call Keurig. And remember to register your machine.Read More
great for couples with different tastes in coffee
my husband and I could never agree on how strong the coffee should be, so this machine is perfect because we can each choose the strength we want for that great cup every time.Read More
My husband loves it. It comes with a nice sample of coffees and teas. You cannot register it with Keurig, but it is only a manufacturer warranty for a year and I feel if I clean it regularly it will operate as expected.Read More
Questions & Answers
think so, it is not loud!
Believe so--not very loud, and a quick brew.
I purchased this machine and I'm very happy with it so far, but was i suppose to have gotten the filters in the box or do I need to buy them separately? Please advise, Thanks
Yes, you must purchase the filters separately.
Does this machine use a water filter?
This coffee system has a built-in water filter.
Are there iced drink options for this machine?
You can ice to the end of the brewing cycle.
Can you make regular coffee using an empty K-cup?
Generally speaking, a K-Cup should not be reused more than once. However, there are retailers that offer a reusable K-Cup that is quite similar to a reusable mesh coffee filter. Unfortunately, Overstock does not offer this product at this time.
I think you need to buy the filters.
Here are the filters you would need to accomplish the task: #13452824.
What size are the different brew-size settings?
5 cup sizes (4 oz., 6 oz., 8 oz., 10 oz. and 12 oz.)
Can this plumbed to a direct water line?
Unfortunately, this item is not meant to be installed that way.
Does this maker also dispense plain hot water?
It does not have a separate dispenser for just hot water.
You can do just hot water if you don't put in a K-cup. Go through all the steps and open and close the section for the k-cups when its heated (just don't put one in) and select the cup size and just hot water will come out. Hope this helps.

Occupy Edmonton and the University of Alberta
15 comments:
- AnonymousFebruary 2, 2012 at 1:40 PM
So what you're saying is that a peaceful protest against the commercialization of an educational institution is a danger? That would only make sense if it upset the status quo of something corrupt... Like an institute that cuts funding for important items while raising tuition and paying a salary of $900000/yr to a single person?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 2, 2012 at 2:56 PM
I would appreciate a response from Colloquy, preferably from a senior administrator, about the points raised in this posting at http://artssquared.wordpress.com/2012/02/02/statement-by-students-faculty-of-arts-staff-solidarity-about-yesterdays-events/ReplyDelete
Statement by Students (Faculty of Arts Staff Solidarity) about Yesterday's Events
Posted on 2 February 2012
[FASS Media Release]
Student Rally Prohibited on Campus
As the Faculty of Arts Staff Solidarity (FASS), we want to clarify events that occurred at the University of Alberta today. February 1st is the national student day of action. On campuses all across the country, students gathered to highlight tuition fees, student debt, and the crisis of the university. We are a group of reform oriented students who have worked to raise awareness about the impacts in the Faculty of Arts from funding cuts. Many of our supporters had planned to participate in a rally on the University of Alberta campus, in solidarity with students across the country.
The students, faculty, staff and alumni who wished to rally were prohibited from expressing our concerns and any individuals without current University student identification, including alumni, were barred from the campus. At no point did FASS members and other students intend to 'occupy' any part of the campus.
"Every day, as a political science student, I am told of the importance of standing up for what I believe in, but when I attempt to engage in a larger conversation, the university bans it before it even begins," says Matt Dow, a Masters student in Political Science.
"Indira Samarasekera, the President of the University of Alberta, has gone on record to denounce the so-called 'negative advocacy' of student groups," says Ashley Dryburgh, a PhD student in English and Film Studies. "There is nothing negative with saying that the U of A is one of the best universities in Canada and deserves to have vibrant and well-funded faculties. But if the administration is not willing to send the message to the provincial government that we are in trouble, we are going to do it ourselves."
We are profoundly disappointed by the University's decisions regarding today's events. The university tells us that they "welcome debate and dialogue and encourage diversity of thought and opinion" but today they demonstrated the opposite by preventing the peaceful gathering of staff, students, faculty, and alumni. Despite the University's reluctance to acknowledge these important issues, FASS will continue to advocate for increased funding for the Faculty of Arts at the University of Alberta. We look forward to the university joining this conversation.

The University is bound by regulations, yes. But as a member of the occupy movement, I can say that certain freedoms are not, or are no longer fully recognised on university campuses; debate in certain aspects being one of them. An example of this being addressed can be found in Norway, where the government recently ended funding for "genusvetenskap"(gender studies) because it is "politicized and ideological" -essentially being closed off to debate and centered around theoretical assertions and theorists who denigrate and disparage refuting research and academic challenge or discussion. Perhaps the University should open such venues of debate and show that academic freedom does exist. Positive discrimination exists in hiring practices, but not yet (openly) in student recruiting. Balance is needed and gender theorists are not addressing this obvious inequality. It is commonly stated that more males in Engineering (for example) is due to sexism, but where there are more females (Psychology, the Arts, student #s in general), it is called equality; a serious misinterpretation which is not debated. Numerous other examples exist, but space here is limited.ReplyDelete

I do not agree with the occupy movement and don't see them as representative of myself. They don't represent the 99% they claim to, but that's not the issue here.ReplyDelete
As a U of A student, I am extremely disappointed at the attitude the administration chose to take with regards to student activism. As a public institute with great pride in being one of Canada's leading Universities, we should be duty-bound to allow everyone to express their opinions - students or members of the public. After all, that is what makes our free and democratic country great.
I am severely ashamed to be part of an institution where the administration would choose to stifle such peaceful protests. Shame on you, Indira.
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2012 at 9:46 AM
I think Indira should have tricked the occupy protesters into protesting in the butterdome and then *pow* hit 'em with dodgeballs :)ReplyDelete
I don't disagree with the act (art?) of protesting but the "Occupy" movement is so poorly planned and organized it's nearly impossible to decipher what exactly they want. If they were clearer in their demands maybe people would act on them, or at least recognize them as legitimate concerns.
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2012 at 10:09 AM
I'm proud to see the University - my alma mater - doing the right thing here, and acting right away on the threats as opposed to waiting until a situation spirals out of control. I'm sure this decision will be unpopular with the 0.99% that claim to represent 99%, but we should not and cannot choose actions based upon the threats of those thugs.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 3, 2012 at 11:26 AM
At the end of the day, the fact is that the institution stifled the democratic right to protest and expression. That's the issue here.ReplyDelete
I'm willing to bet that if a rally of pro-Suncor student protestors gathered to support tarsands development, there would be no issue.
Education is not for sale; it's not a business venture; it's not a commodity - and we need an administration that understands this.

I do not want a small group of protestors representing myself. I agree with the comment above stating that he wishes not to be represented by the 0.99%. Please STOP trying to represent me. Speak for yourselves. There is a reason why every time you protest no more than 200 protesters show up. Most of them being homeless people. I find it interesting how most of the protesters across the globe look alike.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousFebruary 6, 2012 at 9:17 AM
The OccupyYEG group is led in part by two folks, one who is paid by Greenpeace and one who is paid by The Sierra Club. Nothing against those organizations, but it seems like the Edmonton variant of Occupy is more about recruiting people to established activist groups than people concerned about the shrinking of the middle class.ReplyDelete
That said, it would have been nice if EPS had left the helicopter at home and instad of not allowing anyone on campus, simply have requested a bag check for camping equipment, letting any of that pile up on the drive while the students and Occupy kids had their rally and then let them pick them back up on their way back. But of course, once you get public police involved you (or in this case, the administration) doesn't get to call the shots on what EPS tactics should be.
However, I saw a group of Occupy-oriented students protesting sporadically on campus the next day and though observed, campus police weren't stopping them. So clearly the university is allowing for folks to speak their mind publicly.

"The OccupyYEG group is led in part by two folks, one who is paid by Greenpeace and one who is paid by The Sierra Club."ReplyDelete
Please stick to the topic at hand. If you choose to disect the movement, you'll have to take into account the jobs (should they have one) of every person who participates in actions during traditional work hours, which, personally, doesn't play as much relevance as the person's desire for positive change.
This protest was for positive change, and the university students finally had some outside support on their concerns about tuition raises. I'm quite confused as to why student-led protests, including the tent city that occured on the BOG front lawn a few years ago, was not met with the same instantaneous reactions to shut it down and arrest people. I'm also confused as to why Business Students are allowed to camp on campus during 5 Days for Homeless, when they are also advocating for positive change. Yet, Administration tried to stop this peaceful students, staff, and supporters from even coming on campus. To me, these actions all seem similar, but the university has reacted in much different ways. I'm confused as to what actions are allowed, who should be leading them, and when they are allowed to occur.

I don't believe that any group can have a useful, proactive, positive effect towards the support of their cause, however well-intentioned it may be, by simply camping out somewhere and getting in other people's way. Successful protest is accomplished by ACTION, by working towards goals that will ultimately result in greater changes, not by simply whining about how things are. School fees are a reflection of SO many things other than Indira's salary- don't hate her because she is well paid- if you were her, you would probably have no second thoughts about accepting your salary. Let's support the positive work of students who go to school, work a job, and contribute quietly to the community, not those who shout the loudest.ReplyDelete
- Geert De CockFebruary 7, 2012 at 2:56 AM
Why is the U of A administration so scared of a student-led protest on campus? The argument that an Occupy Campus action would somehow impair the U of A's ability to deliver education is so far-fetched. Implying that an Occupy action goes against "healthy, peaceful and respectful debate on campus" is not supported by any facts. Did the protesters block the LRT, disrupt lectures, harass faculty? None of the above happened. President Samarasekera and Provost Amrhein should resign. They do not understand the value of an accessible, welcoming space for debate on campus. This makes them unfit to run a publicly-funded university. Not to mention that their $ 800.000 salaries makes them grossly overpaid.ReplyDelete
This administration-run blog is a poor substitute for open debate about the increasing costs of higher education.

While the University of Alberta attempts to pride itself in the global presence, this is another example of how the University is so disconnected with its own vision. While we strive to become one of the leading Universities, we restrict student freedom, cut courses, cut professors, increase class size and more. While the university if private property and in the end have the final say regarding the activities on the property, I do not see how this protest is any different from Orientation. While this protest would most likely represent a small number of individuals, orientation, the recent dodgeball, and other activities have a tremendous presence. We should not condemn the would be actions of our Occupy community, based upon the actions of others.ReplyDelete
We try to voice our opinion, yet it falls on deaf ears. U of A administration, you have failed the vision that you have conveyed to thousands.

Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn's misadventures take him from the basket houses of the village to an empty Chicago club - on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman - and back again.

|Snow Depth Up to Four Feet at Stowe
Stowe's first rail jam of the season, November 24.
Vermont skiing is off to a good start this year with plenty of snow. For example, at Stowe, the snow-making trails have 1.5 to 4 feet of base built up so far. Stowe has received about a foot of natural snow the past week and a total of nearly three feet this season. You can get details on the Stowe Snow Report page of the resort's website.
Things are looking good for the big kick off week between Christmas and New Years. Now is a good time to make reservations.

What I Thought Poetry Was - Koraly Dimitriadis on Overload Opening Night
Scanning the list of fourteen (fourteen!) performers selected with the intention of giving the audience a taste of what was to come in the festival, a taste of the best, I was perplexed. The selection lacked diversity and I didn't feel it represented the spoken word scene in Melbourne or the amazing talent taking part in the festival. For a start there were too many newbies, and I was utterly bemused at the decision to put some of the best acts, which I feel represent the range of poetry and spoken word being performed in Melbourne, acts like Sean M Whelan and Emilie Zoe Baker, performing at the closing ceremony rather than opening ceremony.
If I was your average Joe Blow and I saw Sean M Whelan and the Interim Lovers as the opening act I would have been thinking 'RAD! I didn't know this was poetry!' I wanted to stand up, midway through the night and shout 'This isn't our best! Don't walk out! This isn't out best!' And where were the older poets like Ania Walwitz, Santo Cazzati or even TT.O? What about Maxine Clarke*, she's one of our best and she isn't even on the program! Which begs the question what is the purpose of this festival and who is it for? For poets or for the public? There are eighty poets performing at this festival. Eighty! Are we trying to break down the barrier between poetry and the general public by showcasing our best, our diversity, or are we just jamming as many poets as we can into a festival so we can all pat ourselves on the back and say 'yeah, we're poets, and we're cool'.
Luka Haralampou and Omar Musa, was so late in the game that if I was the average Joe Blow I wouldn't have survived that long. I would have been out of there. One poem in particular by Luka named 'Athena', which I have seen him perform in the past and thought it was an average poem, took on a completely different life. Why? He performed with such emotion and gusto and conviction, similar to his performances when he first came to Melbourne. The performance was so brilliant I felt as if Athena was right there in front of me, and in his poem 'Scar' I felt as if scars were being cut into my very own flesh, and 'Confluence', which I had never heard before, had my eyes teary. This highlighted for me, how important emotion is to a performance, how important it is to embody the language, which is exactly what Omar Musa did also. It was as if they were wearing the language like a suit, his body language mimicking the language and emotion in his voice.
Alia Gabres was also another stand out, her spoken word about war and ethnicity delivered with elegance and large, dark brown eyes of gentle sorrow. But again I felt myself disengaging after a while – although Alia does spoken word very well, and her stories are heart-felt, her pieces follow the same predictable rhythm, and her pieces tend to be a little wordy at times lacking poetic substance. Yet from the long list of poets appearing at the festival, she is definitely one of my top 20. She has only come to spoken word in the last year and I can see she is only just beginning.
The UK poets were interesting. Hannah Jane Walker had a great delivery, making you laugh when she's dead serious, and then you're dead serious, and it's really, really serious, but once again, not enough poetry, too much spoken word. Luke Wright was funny, funny, funny, but it lacked any kind of rhyme or rhythm and I wasn't sure if I was listening to spoken word or comedy. Still, his piece about caring for his son three days a week had me peeing my pants. Eddy Burger was hilarious as always and as always I have no idea what the hell he's doing or saying and he's making the strangest noises that I can't help but laugh at. Steve Smart's Cold Chisel cover 'Flame Trees' was one of the best poems of the night: He is definitely in my top ten of favourite poets in Melbourne. He combined the Cold Chisel cover with poets Meg Dunn and Jen Jewel Brown. Their performance was like a melancholy jazz song but I wondered still about its appropriateness for the opening ceremony. I think I would have appreciated it more if it was done as a standalone feature at, say The Dan O'Connell, because I felt it got a bit lost amongst all the other performances and probably wasn't appreciated as well as it could have been.
I am sure with more funding some of the glitches I mentioned above could have been ironed out, and it is a credit to Luis Gonzales Serrano that the festival is still living and breathing after 10 years considering the shoe-string budget it has. Of course my opinions are subjective, and I am critiquing the night and poets with the best of intentions. We can only improve and learn if we are provided with honest opinions, instead of the pat-on-back approach poets tend to have with each other.

Yeah maybe, but I can't blame anyone else for my tardiness with respect to deadlines :) Would be interesting to chat with the festival team about the selection process at some stage...ReplyDelete

hullo. You say that my pieces had no rhythm or rhyme. In fact the first piece - The Paunch! - is written entirely in strict iambic pentameter, rhymed ABAB. The second - Weekday Dad - is written in anapaestic tetrameter, it's mostly ABAB, but goes into stanzas of AAAA when I'm delivery bits of direct speech, such as:ReplyDelete
No sweetie, not that please, it's Daddy's degree
no, not in the potty dear, that's where you wee
It's not that I need it, it's just that I, gee
that's pretty symbolic – you've satirized me.
My aim is for the pieces to sound naturalistic but I always write in tight metre and I generally use rhyme. I'm flattered you found it funny, but there is more going on than just gags.
Hi Luke, thanks for commenting. what I probaly should have used the words 'lacked rhythm and rhyme', thanks for the correction. Yes there were short parts that rhymed but overall I didn't feel as if it had enough poetic quality. I don't believe in 'rules' so to speak for poetry, or words like 'iambic pentameter' i don't really care what they mean. there are no rules when it comes to poetry for me. to me it's about the way I appreciate and enjoy the performance as an audience member. A person that comes to your show that knows nothing of poetry isn't going to sit there are think 'hmmm, it's good because it follows the iambic pentameter' they will either find it accessible, interesting, entertaining or not. of course my opinion is subjective and i'm happy for anyone who was there to please comment and give their own opinions. i did enjoy your performance, don't get me wrong, it just felt it lacked a certain something to elevate it to a brilliant spoken word performance.ReplyDelete
Sure, of course you are and it wasn't that I was objecting to. It wasn't just short bits that rhymed and were in metre, all of it was. All of it. That's why I objected to your comment, it simply wasn't true.ReplyDelete
I agree that audience members aren't listening out for certain metres or rhyme schemes, but by using those I give the poetry a certain sound, a certain flow. I don't use them, to show off about them, I use them because they are effective.
Iambic pentameter is not a 'rule', it's a form, and whether you think it's important or not as a reviewer of poetry you should at least be able to recognise something so fundamental.
I don't know what you mean by "poetic quality". You describe my performance as "funny, funny, funny" that's what it was supposed to be. Job done. I felt the audience were in the mood for comic poetry that night so that's what I did. Poetry can just be funny if it wishes to be. It doesn't have to be just images and broken hearts.
wow, it all followed the meter? no wonder. i rarely like academic poetry, i like experimental stuff that blows me out of the water, excites and connects with me. i dont feel the need to know all the rules or forms and i would prefer not to know them because i feel it would influence my art and what literature THINKS poetry should be. I have studied writing and art and i am a published poet and perform heaps, and i believe that puts me in a position to review poetry. ART = no rules and i know i am difficult to please but it is one thing to make me laugh, it's another to make me speechless and have your performance and words echoing in my mind weeks later.ReplyDelete
I've been trying to hold back so as not to sound like I've got sour grapes over your review but your attitude towards really well crafted poetry (Luke had to break it down to you in such detail for you to get it) actually makes you sound like you really don't know what you're talking about - an 'I don't know art but I know what I like' kind of critique. 'Where were the older poets?' you ask, and then you misspell Ania's surname (nevermind the fact that she was on opening night last year), that PiO had like four gigs last year and the year before that, and that Santo is in fact someone who's not been around the scene for more than three years. At this writing course that you did you didn't like doing your homework, did you?ReplyDelete
Wish I was at Opening Night so I could better moderate. Some of Koraly's observations about the length of the evening etc were mirrored in Lian's review. On the other hand I think the 'art equals no rules therefore no knowledge is necessary' can be a little dangerous. The word "experimental" itself is relative so I guess you can't claim to like "experimental stuff" if you can't actually pick if from something which might employ more defined poetic technique (which doesn't necessarily mean it's 'academic').ReplyDelete
Wow, Luis, sorry if I have offended. No, I don't like homework much. Look, I gave my honest opinion, and that's that. I am tired of reviews that are all 'it was great, pat on the back to everyone'. Like I have said before, I don't like learning about the rules because then I feel that they influence your art, and that I learnt from Ania Walwicz in her poetry class. She didn't teach us any rules. Sorry about the spelling mistake also, I am sure there are other spelling mistakes on this blog, not just mine. And when I say experimental, I mean unpredictable, ie not academic. Hope that makes sense. But I do admire you Luis for your hard work in the festival, I know it is a tough job and I apprecaite it. I hope you know this is just a discussion and I hope it is okay for us to have these kinds of discussions. If I was too hard on Luke, Luke, I apologise.ReplyDelete
I'm very conscious about the timing criticisms and it's something I'm raising at the Overload debrief (somewhat hopefully again, as every year we seem to say we're going to keep things running on time and then we have these epic three hour gigs - it's a cultural issue we've been battling with, believe me). I'm not really looking for an apology, I just want to point out how little research went into the critique of poets and how that was extended to the curation of the festival itself, almost as if the intention of walking through the door from the beginning was to tear the night to shreds. Lian's review seems so much more balanced and again points out our event management problems - kinks that need more than funding to iron out. Although again the question of "where was..." pops up like news of the discovery of sliced bread...ReplyDelete
And Maxine, agreed on technique in the experimental. Luke's poetry for example, came across as funny on the surface but had so much underlying work. I would call that experimental - what he's doing with ballads is something that most people would shy away from in this country (maybe because of the ghost of the bush ballad). Or on another night - Mills and Boon Swoon, Eleanor was doing some stuff that seemed like straight up spoken word - what people didn't pick up is that a huge chunk of her stuff were actual villanelles, pantouns and there was even a limerick in there. The poetry didn't suffer for it at all. I don't mind the discussions, it's just that we need to come in with an open mind and put a little bit more thought into what we say.

The philosophic part of me tends to agree and would go as far as saying that since so much learning is incidental we shouldn't even limit the computers to scholarly pursuits. If library computers are supposed to substitute as home computers for those who don't have one, why should librarians object to instant messaging or shopping or social sites? I also think that librarians should try and foster happy relationships between patrons and technology, and users are happier when the technology does what they want it to.
On the other hand, I had an interesting talk with a former computer lab supervisor recently, who recounted various unpleasant experiences when trying to enforce the college's reasonable use policy. (The alternate title to this post is one of the reactions he reported to me). Using content blocking software avoids this type of direct confrontation with students.
So, on one side there's the content blocker which allows librarians to worry about other things besides what trouble students are getting into online, and on the other side librarians can strap on the riot gear and personally enforce whatever they interpret 'appropriate use' to mean.
The second way is harder, obviously. And less fun for the librarian. But as much as I hate to say it, I'm slightly more in favor of taking the blame personally than allowing a program to control patron habits. I guess it's just one more item to add to the ever-changing job description...

Rated 4.6 out of 5 by 194 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by rmm11 No issues so far and it works great This replaces a GE side by side and the 3 door french style is so much more convenient. Only the left side door space is somewhat constrained by size of items that can be placed there, but having a smaller ice dispenser paves way for a lot more space inside. November 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ouma We love it! We needed a white refrigerator maximum 34" and wanted a water dispenser in the door. We found this unit and fell in love. It even has the ice maker in the door so that you don't lose any shelf space. If I could change anything, I would make the deli drawer into two drawers, then you wouldn't have to open both doors to access it. November 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Aunt Mar This product provides numerous amenities Along with two controlled vegetable/fruit trays, there is an additional center tray and a long deli or fresh meat tray. The multiple shelves provide additional options for storage. The freezer space is much larger than I ever anticipated. We do not use that much ice, so the extra ice storage space in the freezer also provides a great space for ice cream. October 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by sue Great features if they worked I was very excited about getting this refrigerator.First we had a recall on it along with the refrigerator I freezing everything including eggs etc. We are going on our 2nd repairman call with high hopes tht he can find the problem. I think it would be a great unit if it worked . The bottom freezer is a great idea. I am sure we will enjoy it once it is fixed or replaced. September 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Josey This product has just what I wanted in a fridge This product is just what I was looking for. Three doors, ice maker in the door with a water dispenser. The fact that you can put a pitcher under and dispense the ice and then the water is great. The inside has plenty of room and you can change the shelves according to your needs. I love the two shelves that slide back for taller items. The freezer has plenty of room and is easy to find and get things out. September 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jim33 Great refrigerator We needed a 33" refrigerator for our kitchen. This model had all the features we were looking for. It is beautiful. The bottom freezer is great with plenty of room. The crispers keep the vegetables fresh longer than our old refrigerator. I like the deli drawer and the adjustable shelves which makes it easy to organize the food storage. We are spoiled having the automatic ice and water in the door. We have had the refrigerator for 6 weeks and I would recommend it to a friend. I love the stainless steel finish which is easy to keep clean. This refrigerator makes our kitchen look brand new September 20, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by karensuzyq Not completely happy For the price-not happy! I knew ice capacity was small; but no one told me about food freezing in the refrigerator on the side where the icemaker is. I can't put vegetables in the bins because of this. Also the drawer mechanisms on the bottom freezer are cheap; they broke within a couple of months. September 20, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bill H great product, good price and perfect fit Purchased this product from a department store and it was on sale. Product quality is excellent, the features are good. The only thing I would change is I would have an extra ice maker in the freezer compartment. The door ice maker does not store or make enough ice for a family. Otherwise this is a great product and I would recommend this product. September 18, 2014
accessories for your lg product
If you think a refrigerator with top-of-the-line features means sacrificing style or space, this will make you reconsider. With nearly 25 cu. ft., this 33" wide refrigerator has the largest capacity in the market and features like a tall water dispenser with an ice system that actually frees up shelf space. With that, and much more, you get the peace-of-mind of a 10-year warranty. It's a refrigerator with something for everyone.

The U.S. Supreme Court's ruling Thursday that companies cannot patent naturally occurring human genes is good news for many local biotechnology companies and patients, representatives of biotech companies and a Bethesda-based plaintiff in the case said.
In 2002, patent lawyers contacted Sherri Bale, a founder and managing director of GeneDx of Gaithersburg, which specializes in genetic diagnostic tests for rare inherited disorders, and demanded her company stop conducting tests for a cardiology-related disorder.
"No one else was offering that kind of testing," Bale said.
With the high court's unanimous decision, which reverses decades of patent awards, GeneDx plans to launch comprehensive genetic tests for inherited cancers that include the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, Bale said.
Myriad Genetics of Salt Lake City, Utah, had patented those genes, which are linked to hereditary forms of breast and ovarian cancer, and the Bethesda-based Association for Molecular Pathology and others sued to challenge the patents.
Two of Myriad's patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes were ruled invalid in a New York district court ruling in 2010. A federal appeals court reversed that decision in 2011, and plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme Court.
The decision will create a "tremendous opportunity for companies like mine to perform these genetic tests that were restricted in the past," said Bale, who has testified before Congress on the issue and whose company filed a legal brief in the case. "But the real benefit will be to patients who will be able to access these tests."
The Supreme Court decision does allow companies such as Myriad to patent synthetically created DNA.
"It's good news all around," Bale said.
Myriad has more than 500 valid and enforceable claims in 24 different patents, and the high court "appropriately upheld our claims" on the synthetic DNA, said Peter D. Meldrum, president and CEO of Myriad, in a statement.
"We are collaborating with the medical and scientific communities to improve patient access to genetic testing and facilitate research worldwide. … Myriad will continue to encourage and support academic research studies conducted on the BRCA genes," Meldrum said.
He added that the company's tests were covered by many insurance plans, though plaintiffs said many people were not covered for the tests, which cost $3,000 to $4,000.
"Biomedical researchers, clinicians and, most importantly, patients will see great benefit from this development," said Jennifer L. Hunt, president of the Association for Molecular Pathology. The organization's members include pathologists, clinical laboratory scientists, clinicians and government regulators.
Gail Herman, president of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics of Bethesda, said she wished the court had "gone even further and found that any form of a gene is not patentable because it is the information content that is naturally occurring regardless of whether it's genomic" or synthetic.
The college has more than 1,600 members, who are biochemical, medical and molecular geneticists, genetic counselors and other health care professionals.
In the court's decision, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that a naturally occurring DNA segment is a product of nature and not eligible for a patent "merely because it has been isolated." Myriad had found an "important and useful gene, but separating that gene from its surrounding genetic material is not an act of invention," he said.
Synthetically created DNA could be patented "because it is not naturally occurring," Thomas said.
GeneDx, a subsidiary of Bio-Reference Laboratories of Elmwood Park, N.J., has about 240 employees and will boost its workforce in Gaithersburg, Bale said.
"We just added a lot of space with the anticipation that this decision will happen," she said.
GeneDx has developed comprehensive panels to test all the important genes associated with inherited cancers rapidly, accurately and at typically no additional cost when compared to testing for a single gene, Bale said. The company offers testing for more than 350 genetic disorders, and has more than 30 board-certified geneticists and genetic counselors on staff available to physicians and others.

Michigan Wolverines Football Tickets- History
The Michigan Wolverines football program began in 1879 and it joined the Big Ten when the conference started in 1896. Michigan has a rich tradition of winning. The program boasts 11 national titles; the last one came in 1997. The Wolverines also have the most wins in college football history (884) and the highest winning percentage (.735). With success, comes strong attendance as Michigan Stadium has had more than 100,000 fans in attendance at every game since 1975. Michigan Wolverines football tickets** are always a hot commodity, but especially so when they take on their long-time rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Wolverines also have a long-standing rivalry with intrastate foes Michigan State University.

3/25/15: While it seems that Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh has moved on from the San Francisco 49ers, the 49ers seem to still want to take shots at Harbaugh. CEO Jed York said that the 49ers 'got away from core strengths' under Harbaugh. They must have with only three NFC Championship Games and one Super Bowl appearance in four years. Michigan is glad to have him. Michigan looks to make big gains in the next few years as Harbaugh worked his magic and gets the program back to the top of the NCAA ranks. Where it should be.
3/18/15: The Michigan Wolverines received some jolting news last week when starting center Jack Miller announced that he would not play in 2015. Miller decided to leave the program, and the decision seems to have come out of nowhere. Miller is a fifth year senior and started all 12 games last season and likely would have had the job again this coming season. Now it looks like redshirt sophomore Patrick Kugler will be the anchor on the offensive line. Whether he is done with football or not is still in speculation, though there is no word that he is transferring to another program or is just ending his playing career.
3/11/15: It may not be long before Jim Harbaugh replaces the old guy on the beer commercials as the Most Interesting Man in the World. Look at his life. He was a star quarterback at national powerhouse in college. Earned the nickname Captain Comeback while playing in the NFL. Led two downtrodden college teams to prominence as a head coach. Was an NFL head coach and coached against his brother in the Super Bowl. Named head coach of his college alma mater. Sat in on Judge Judy's court room. Was a first responder in an emergency. And last week served as the Oakland A's first base coach for a day. Yet most people get excited for casual Fridays.
3/4/14: Since the Jim Harbaugh honeymoon is still in its infancy, every 'first' gets overly documented and lauded. It is actually similar to a first-born child in that regard. Of course the pictures and scrapbooking fade away by the time kids two, three, four or more come around. So this is Harbaugh's first spring practice, which Harbaugh compared to joyous holidays. Harbaugh seems very excited to get going with the practice and Wolverine fans everywhere are excited to see him turn around a once-glorious franchise that has fallen into dark times over the past decade or so.
2/25/15: It is pretty high praise when a Heisman winning quarterback from a National Championship team who is likely to be the first overall pick in the NFL draft lauds your coach and facilities. But Jameis Winston from Florida State did just that. He was up at the UM football facilities prior to the NFL Combine to train under new head coach Jim Harbaugh. Winston said he wished he could have played for Harbaugh and said the facilities were outstanding and better than what he had at FSU. With the coach and facilities in place, it should not be too long before Big Blue starts winning meaningful games.
2/18/15: The Jim Harbaugh Era at Michigan is off to a great start. Maybe not in the recruiting department yet, but at least in terms of entertainment. Harbaugh seemed to have trolled Ohio State by tweeting out the famous 'tangled web/deceive' quote by Sir Walter Scott (no, not William Shakespeare. Ok, English Lit lesson finished for today.). He then played coy about it, though OSU responded. He has also enlightened his followers about pop music and country-style breakfasts. He is turning into an enjoyable character, which is in stark contrast to Urban Meyer and Nick Saban, may have never heard of the word 'fun'.
2/11/15: The University of Michigan did not end up with an all-star recruiting class that will win them the national championship in a couple of years. That is very understandable considering that the program has been down for a few years and new head coach Jim Harbaugh (and his staff) came in very late in the recruiting process. But they did land a potentially big fish in quarterback John O'Korn. O'Korn had been a QB at Houston. He was the AAC Rookie of the Year in 2013. He will have to sit out a year, but this is a good foundation on which to build a program.
2/4/15: National Signing Day will be finished soon and all the rankings will be tallied up shortly thereafter. The question will be how did Michigan do this season. Everyone is well aware of Big Blue's troubles on the field, and that is why Brady Hoke is out and Jim Harbaugh is in. Recruiting is the life-blood of college football and it is generally the top ranked recruiting classes that end up in top ranked bowls. Michigan got a late start to recruiting this year and may not turn in the type of class that fans want. At the end of January, Michigan ranked 76th. But they can always close strong.
1/28/15: Jim Harbaugh finally got his first recruiting commitment, and it is a big one. Harbaugh and his staff have flipped four star quarterback Zach Gentry from the University of Texas to Michigan. Gentry is listed at 6'6" and 230 pounds. He is a pro-style QB and the top prospect out of New Mexico. Overall, recruitment this season looks to be a little light and the Wolverines only have eight commitments so far. However, there is still a few more days until National Signing Day and Michigan will try to finish up Harbaugh's first class on a strong note.
1/21/15: It is a brand new era for Michigan football, one that alumni and fans resembles the glory days of years past. As everyone knows, Michigan ended the Brady Hoke experiment (a second unsuccessful coaching run for the program) after the end of the 2014 season. They then were able to hire former Wolverines standout Jim Harbaugh to lead the program. Harbaugh has been successful at both the college and NFL levels, and is expected to bring Michigan back to prominence. With UM back on track, it will be great to see the Ohio State rivalry be rebuilt over the next few years.
Opponent has Big Impact on Michigan Secondary Market Prices
With an estimated $1.7 million already spent on the secondary market for Michigan Wolverines home games this year, those who were shut out of season tickets seem to be turning to other ways to procure seats. As expected, the two most expensive games on the Wolverines schedule so far are those against rivals Ohio State…Read more

Dual Enrollment
Gonzaga University offers a program of "Dual Enrollment" for area students who wish to take a college course for credit while still enrolled in high school. The Dual Enrollment program at Gonzaga is intentionally limited in scope as preference of course space is given to current Gonzaga undergraduates.
High school students wishing to take a course at Gonzaga University must submit an application for Dual Enrollment. High school students and their parents are reminded that this begins a student's college record. Colleges to which a Dual Enrollment student will apply for undergraduate work will request the student provide an official transcript from Gonzaga University. For this reason, it is important that each Dual Enrollment student understands the academic commitment he or she is making.
- Students must submit an official high school transcript and must have a cumulative academic GPA of 3.50 or higher.
- A letter of permission from a high school counselor or administrator indicating how the student will be able to handle the increased academic load.
- Submit a dual enrollment application to the Office of Undergraduate Admission.
- Students must be in their junior or senior year of high school.
Fall Semester -- August 15
Spring Semester -- December 15
Summer Term -- April 15
1. FALL and SPRING Terms:
A. Dual Enrollment students in a high school with access to Washington State's Running Start program may enroll in one or two available* courses** per fall or spring terms in the following departments only:
- Mathematics
- Computer Science
- Modern or Classical Languages
B. Dual Enrollment students enrolled in a high school without access to Washington State's Running Start program may enroll in up to two available and appropriate*** courses from any department during fall and/or spring terms.
C. Dual Enrollment students pay a reduced tuition rate of $415.00 per course, as well as a $15.00 administrative fee each term. This per course rate is subject to change, based on annual review of all tuition charges and/or subsequent faculty compensation structure changes.
2. SUMMER Terms:
A. A different Dual Enrollment tuition rate will be in effect during summer sessions.
1. Dual enrollment students pay a per credit (rather than a per course) rate of $255, as well as a $15.00 administrative fee each session (summer I, II, or full term).
2. This per credit rate is subject to change, based on annual review of all tuition charges and/or subsequent faculty compensation structure changes.
B. Dual Enrollment students (regardless of high school access to Running Start) may enroll in up to six credits of appropriate and available courses per summer session, and pay the reduced tuition rate and related fees.
1. Accepted students may continue in the Dual Enrollment Program until graduation from high school. Students may register for desired course/courses each semester, but apply for admission to Dual Enrollment only once.
2. Newly accepted and returning Dual Enrollment students may only register at a designated time each semester. The Academic Advising and Assistance Office will send registration information prior to the start of each term. Registration will take place via e-mail.
3. All Dual Enrollment registrations must go through the Office of Academic Advising and Assistance. Dual Enrollment students may not approach individual professors or other University personnel to attempt to use the "Add/Drop" or "Course Authorization" processes to gain entrance to any course.
4. Dual Enrollment students have the library and activity privileges of part time students.
5. Students are assigned to an advisor within the Office of Academic Advising and Assistance for academic advising for the Dual Enrollment Program. The advisor is responsible for registering Dual Enrollment students and will contact students after admission to the program.
6. Dual Enrollment students may apply for regular admission to Gonzaga University. A new application (fee will be waived), including an updated high school transcript, ACT or SAT test scores, teacher recommendation, counselor/dean report, Gonzaga's suggested essay, and list of activities with significant awards must be sent to the Admissions Office. The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) should be submitted no later than February 1st if consideration for need-based financial aid is desired.
Inquiries about admission to the Dual Enrollment Program may be directed to the Office of Admission at 509-313-6572.
*Available is defined as a course that has space for an additional student that does not require any special permission, course authorization or override, as of one week prior to the beginning of the term.
**A course is defined as a class identified with its own CRN (Course Registration Number); (e.g., BIOL 101 and BIOL 101L, although required to be taken together, each have a separate CRN and therefore constitute two (2) classes).
***Appropriate courses are those without prerequisites according to the most recent University Catalogue, or those for which the student has fulfilled prerequisite requirements, as determined by the Dual Enrollment academic advisor in the Office of Academic Advising and Assistance.

Test ID: CLPMG
Phospholipid (Cardiolipin) Antibodies, IgG and IgM, Serum
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
This test uses microtiter plates coated with bovine cardiolipin and purified bovine beta 2 glycoprotein 1(beta 2 GP1). Phospholipid antibodies bound in the first stage of the assay are detected with antihuman horseradish peroxidase antibody conjugate in the second stage of the assay by adding 3,3',5,5' tetramethylbenzidine substrate (10 minute incubation followed by addition of 0.5 M H[2]SO[4]). Results for test sera are expressed in U/mL by comparison with standard curves obtained using calibrators at 0, 4, 8, 20, 40 and 100 units.(Package Insert: Varelisa Cardiolipin IgG, Antibodies, Pharmacia Diagnostics, 157-01)
PDF Report Indicates whether the report includes an additional document with charts, images or other enriched information
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Monday through Saturday; 4 p.m.
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
Same day/1 day
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result

Kristin M. wasn't planning to adopt a dog when she visited the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan, but meeting Dakota changed her mind. She shared the following story with us about the way in which her family of three became a family of four.
We decided to adopt Dakota when we first saw her. She wiggled up to the glass wagging her tail and just seemed like the sweetest girl—not too big or too small—and flashed her happy Pit Bull smile.
We had never adopted before. We, of course, went to "just look." After meeting Dakota and learning she wasn't quite ready for adoption, we put a hold on her.
The adoption process was so easy! It was great being able to have Dakota and our bossy Chihuahua, Cali, meet in a neutral area at the Adoption Center.
Dakota has adjusted into regular home life here. When we first brought her home, we could tell she wasn't used to being in a home setting. Every time I opened the refrigerator, she tried to climb inside it! Stairs were a real challenge for her, even though it is only three steps. We kept her and her older sister separated, while we were gone, for the first two months, just to be safe.
Over the past five months, she has relaxed quite a bit. Dakota walks on a leash very nicely now and has no trouble with our little set of stairs. We often joke that she wants to be best friends with everyone she meets on the street. She and Cali sleep next to each other and even play! Of course, Cali is still the boss.
We couldn't be happier to have Dakota as a member of our little family. We don't even mind waking up to her silly face trying to lick ours!

From the files of theCold Case Squad
Edward Lee Jeffery
Case UpdateApril 2008
Patrick Gordon McCreary
January, 2009
After spending nearly one year in the Marion County Jail, Patrick McCreary changed his plea from "Not Guilty" to "Guilty" during a hearing in front of Judge Hart on January 16, 2009. Reading to the court from a prepared statement, McCreary took responsibility for the murder, admitting his role as the trigger-man.
On January 26, 2009, acting under the sentencing guidelines in place for crimes committed in 1986, Judge Hart sentenced Patrick McCreary to life in prison with a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years. Within days of his sentencing, McCreary was delivered into the custody of the Oregon Department of Corrections, where he remains today.
