Before I got knocked up, I never gave much thought to what I would wear when I was very very pregnant. I guess I figured I would wear a lot of drapey tunics and black leggings and hibernate like a mama bear. But as luck would have it, my third trimester has coincided with the publication of my first novel, Sad Desk Salad (available on October 2), which is about a blogger who works for a popular women's website (I jokingly refer to it as The Devil Wears Sweatpants).
This is a blessing, of course, but it also means that I need to make several public appearances while smuggling a basketball under my stomach. I can't really wear my blogging rags for those events. Did I also mention that in my eighth and ninth months of pregnancy I have four weddings to attend?
So for the past month, I've been scouring the web and my favorite stores for great dresses. First I tried maternity stores, but found that in general their clothing made me resemble a sea lion. I ordered a bright cobalt silk dress from a maternity website that boasts its celebrity clientele, and it made me look like a giant blueberry (paging Violet Beauregarde).
Things looked up considerably when I stopped trying on maternity clothes and instead searched for regular dresses that were extremely forgiving. I worried that those dresses would be too short in the front because my belly was sticking out so far, but these styles are cut in a way that it doesn't make that much of a difference. Not only did those dresses end up making me look about a thousand times more elegant, I can still wear them after I pop out our baby girl.
Here are my five favorite ones I tried on. I have purchased one so far, and if I manage to win the Powerball in the next week, there are about 14 more Isabel Marant muumuus I would splurge on.

Topic: A Time in the West
how is everyone this fine evenin'.
Shot our film Sunday and got some Badass car shots. Cold night so we built a fire outside for everyone to stand around. We only had oil lanterns and one big yellow light to shine inside the saloon, lol. So there is one hell of an amber glow in the scene, cool though since it's a gritty old saloon.
My friend Stephen is transferring everything over to DVD for me so I can load it and start editing. It won't be perfect, but it will be pretty cool nonetheless. It's a time travel western.
This will be for the short film competition on You Tube where the winner gets a 500K grant to have a film produced by Ridley Scott.

Introduction to Paine Field
Last month, Snohomish County officials revealed a rough plan to entice the Boeing Co. or some other aerospace firm with a shovel-ready factory site on the west side of Paine Field, the county's airport. Paine already is an enormous economic engine, with more than 30,000 Boeing workers and thousands of others employed there. Here's a look at the major companies and attractions at the Snohomish County Airport.

I've searched this site and i've no idea if I've missed it, but is there a thread on the above topic? There are lots of Trailstar users on here and in the UK, and I feel a bit late to the party... but my home-made cuben pyramid isn't really doing it for me...Can I ask, dare I ask.... without looking too buffoon like: how hard is the cuber Trailstar to pitch?I'm convinced it's the tent to use it's stable, you can use it with just a groundsheet and no bivvy, even with down. But would I struggle getting a good taut pitch with cuben? Or stick with Silnylon?I'll be using the tent in Scotland/Howgills/Lakes - the usual spots for the UK...Any chance of some thoughts/advice (he asked embarrassingly...)Oh woe!
I really have not had any problems pitching my cuben TS. Pitching this geometry requires you to get into the right mindframe, but once I saw it pitched the first time, I have not had any problems.
Have you read Chris Townsends review? He much preferred the silnylon version for the conditions you describe.
http://www.pbase.com/flying_fox_tony/dartmoor_trailstar_july_2012http://www.pbase.com/flying_fox_tony/mld_cuben_trailstarhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vmneOE4j2shttp://flyingdogphotography.blogspot.co.nz/2012/10/my-thoughts-and-opinion-on-my-mld-cuben.htmlFor UK use I would go for the Sil version every time. If you want to go Cuben I would get a Duomid.
Thank you for the feedback - my heart says cuben but after reading the information you've helpfully pointed at, my head says silnylon!
Cuben "cloth" really isn't a cloth. Silnylon is. Many of the percieved differences between the two can be traced back to the simple construction methodes between them. The raw strength between silnylon and CF is mostly percieved by the different weights of the material (and coatings) between them. Silnylon is a treated cloth. The treatment is silicon rubber. The cloth is made of threads. The threads are made of nylon. It is woven into a cloth, often with other materials used as "ripstop" fibers or a simple heavier thread. The treatment is then spread lightly over the cloth, often by rollers and/or knives, where it penetrates the the threads and gaps caused by weaving leaving a thin film to waterproof it, incidently making it hydrophobic and slippery while reducing the texture of the woven cloth. Properties we exploit in rain for excellent waterproofing. A more conceptual view of silnylon would be a silicone film, reinforced with nylon cloth. Cuben is made by taking two(or more) layers of waterproof plastic and sandwitching them over a reinforcing fiber, often spectra, kevlar and carbon. These are pressed togther under very high pressures until they actually bond. It is stiffer than a woven cloth and doesn't have the streatch. Conceptually you can view this as a plastic film reinforced with threads.The difference between the two, because of the actual construction methods, becomes very large. Attacment of multiple pieces or loops.Sewing:A thread through cuben will elongate a hole till it anchores on a fiber because fibers are sparsely interspersed. This also means one or two can tear before a couple others can bind up together supplying the stopping power. So, holes get larger when sewn, especially under heavy loads. A thread sewn through silnylon has a high density fabric that "catches" slippage. It will stretch, elongating a hole, but much less than cuben. Adhesives:To avoid this problem adhesives are used. These have different rates of stretch than the plastic used in cuben. Under load, it will crack, potentially leaking. It can create a stiff seam that can crack, too. So, a non drying adhesive, like a tape adhesive, is used. But this can creep under loads. So, simply stitching it and bonding it produces a joint with the best characteristics of both, simultaneously reinforcing the worst characteristics of both types of joins.On silnylon, reinforcement is not usually needed. But this brings up an interesting side point. Seam sealing, usually done with a thinned silicone adhesive on silnylon, and often done new, is not as effective as *after* holes have already stretched open and fibers have moved, slightly.Repeated loading, such as with a tarp, will give different results, also. Cuben is, for all intents and purposes, a plastic film. It can stretch permanently under load. Eventually it will fail, but more importantly, it will fail if scratched. A good example is thin plastic tarp. It is quite strong untill a scratch, nick or other defect is made in it. Then it tears quite easily. It is almost impossible to avoid all abrasion while camping. So, unless you use heavier weight cubens (multiple layers,) small holes/leaks, or "slices" may appear. These are not easy to repair with cuben. Patching rather than sewing is prefered, duct tape is good for that. Wind hammer can cause increased streatching. A not quite perfect pitch and leave flapping, causing "impact pressures" that exceede the material's normal strength.Silnylon, while not subject to surface abrasion, *is* subject to stretching. Fibers in the cloth can become displaced opening previosly sealed seams, pole points (often reinforced,) loop tieouts, and, the fabric itself. This can continue to extremes. Example: My tarp, a 9'x11' silnylon has about 3" of stretched material near the center from constantly loading it over a hiking stick. Loosened coating is broken, tiny, inconsequential leaks now leak through, etc. Inside, it is easy to see where it is stretched and where it is not with a good light behind the tarp. This can be repaired (and has been twice) with a layer of silicone/mineral spirits over it. Normally, impact pressures are more distributed, causing little extra stretch.So, while both are strong, general durability for silnylon is greater, if only because of the *way* the two are made. If you are seeking UL weights, you expect decreased durability, soo, this isn't usually a problem. This is a philosophical difference, subject to interpretation. I do not recommend one over the other.I hope this helps!
Excellent information James! YOU should be writing for BPL.
Yeah, what the Hell?? That essay is amazing.
Sorry, I can't even spell....
The silnylon version is like dynamic climbing rope. The cuben version is like Dyneema webbing. Both are absolutely awesome at their intended task so neither is "better", but their tasks don't overlap. It is just my opinion, but the cuben version of the Trailstar loses its best feature which is versatility.Shelters that have one basic pitch configuration like the *mids and A-frame cat tarps are great in cuben.I hope to one day have a sil Trailstar and cuben Grace tarp.
i thought all shelters had the same basic purpose ... keep you dry and out of the wind ;)as to which? ... who knows, its yr moolah!
Have a look here :http://www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2012/03/trailstar-wars.html
Thank you all - that has been ace information! It seems like for this shelter Silnylon is the easiest to pitch and most flexible to use in terms of pitch options, so that is where my choice will be!Pete

France is deepening its interest in acquiring the Reaper UAV from the U.S., a move that would stir political sensitivities over purchasing a weapons-firing UAV, while Paris readies to cut its defense budget, government and industry sources said. (U.S. Air Force)
- Filed Under
PARIS — France is deepening its interest in acquiring the Reaper UAV from the U.S., a move that would stir political sensitivities over purchasing a weapons-firing UAV, while Paris readies to cut its defense budget, government and industry sources said.
Meanwhile, EADS has submitted an offer to extend the contract for its Harfang medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV, the sources said.
The vast distances and intelligence needs in Mali have underlined the French military's need for a UAV capable of relatively high speed and a long time in the combat zone, defense sources said.
Harfang could serve as a gap-filler, an industry executive said, since delivery of the first Reaper would likely take at least two years.
French procurement officials are preparing a letter of request for the General Atomics Reaper, two defense sources said. That letter is due to be sent "soon," an industry executive said. A French defense official confirmed a letter is under preparation, although no date has been set for dispatch.
"This will launch the official procedure for access to financial information, timetable and options" for the Reaper, the official said. Talks with the U.S. Air Force helped French officials draw up the letter of request, the official said.
A U.S. State Department official said that while no deal was imminent, there have been discussions about the Reaper and that the French have "made their interest known."
Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian wants to see all the options before deciding, a second official said.
"We're getting everything ready for when the minister hits the 'go' button," a senior official said.
Le Drian asked for a study of options for an intermediate MALE UAV last year, reversing the previous administration's pick of the Heron TP UAV from Dassault Aviation and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI). He said at the time that the Heron did not meet requirements.
Acquiring the Reaper is politically sensitive because the version France wants is capable of carrying weapons.
Britain is the only European country that operates an armed Reaper model; Italy flies a surveillance version of the UAV.
French officials hope the fight in Mali against Islamist Salafist and Tuareg rebels will show U.S. legislators that Paris can be trusted as a military ally.
The other sensitivity of choosing Reaper: France would be buying U.S. equipment as Paris readies to cut the defense budget.
EADS has teamed with General Atomics to offer a modified Reaper to the French government.
Buying the Reaper raises two key economic questions: how much will it cost, and how many French jobs would be created modifying the aircraft to deliver a national sovereignty over the system.
U.S. legislators must approve the export of Reapers, which raises political questions.
"Congress is on the critical path," the French official said.
On the domestic economic front, some 70 French jobs could be created in integrating French gear onto the UAV, including a satellite datalink, sensor payload, command and control and certifying the aircraft for French civil airspace, the industry executive said.
French gear would account for around 40 percent of the acquisition price of around 320 million euros ($429 million), the executive said.
That estimate sounded "optimistic," the first defense official said.
The modifications would be shared by EADS Cassidian, Thales, Sagem and Zodiac, the executive said.
Cassidian could later integrate the Reaper into the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance program, based on the Global Hawk UAV, due to enter service in 2017. A later version of the Reaper could include a maritime radar and electronic warfare gear.
Harfang Extension
EADS, meanwhile, officially presented Feb. 12 its offer to extend the support contract for the Harfang UAV to October 2017, the executive said Feb. 13.
The offer, made with IAI, includes maintenance and treatment of obsolescence with an upgrade of electro-optical and radar sensors. The service contract expires in October.
No financial details were available. The final price would depend on the modules selected.
France acquired the Harfang, based on the IAI Heron, at a similar price to that paid by the Israeli government, a second industry executive said. The Harfang entered service in 2008 after a long delay due to EADS' problems in fitting a French satellite communications link.
An extension of the Harfang is needed in any case. If France bought the Reaper, delivery is likely to take at least two years, the first official said.
The French Air Force has four Harfang units, two of which are flying over Mali supporting ground troops. One unit is held for spares, the fourth is kept for training.
General Atomics is showing a full-scale mock-up of its Predator XP export version at the International Defence Exhibition and Conference trade show opening Feb. 17 in Abu Dhabi. The company hopes to sell the UAV to the United Arab Emirates and is in talks with the Tawazun state holding company and other local firms to create a joint venture to provide service support for the Predator in the UAE, the company said.

Holy integrated circuit! The Sarasota County School District giveth and taketh away in spectacular fashion.
Having decided to take away Riverview High School—an icon of modern architecture—the district has now given us the Suncoast Polytechnical High School, a visionary new building dedicated to technology-driven education within a distinctly untraditional environment.
Sited just north of Proctor Road, on the North County Technical Center campus shared with the Sarasota County Technical Institute on Beneva Road, SPHS surged out of the ground with record speed, suddenly presenting its startling angular profile to intrigued passers-by. The 70,000-square-foot-plus facility, which includes a covered open-air gymnasium, was completed in roughly 10 months and within a budget of approximately $16 million, surely something of a record for a project of this type, especially one boasting such sophisticated technical facilities.
Designed by SchenkelShultz Arch-itecture and built by Willis A. Smith Construction, SPHS is notable for both the visible and the hidden elements of its innovative concept. With a capacity of 600 students in grades nine through 12, classes will be able to offer an unusual degree of personal attention, a critical ingredient in a curriculum focused on career preparation for such fields as biomedical science, computer programming, gaming/simulation/animation and geospatial/geographic information systems technology.
To serve these ambitious goals, the building provides 100 percent wireless Internet access everywhere, 2,000 computer network connections under the raised floors, and interactive screens in all instructional areas, as well as three technology and four science labs furnished with the latest in modular furniture and equipment.
All of this would be of, well, academic interest only, were it not for the bold architectural vision the SchenkelShultz firm has brought to the commission. It would have been relatively easy to enclose all this advanced technology and instructional equipment in a vapid envelope, a bland "learning factory." And it might have cost less to do so, but such a strategy would have been extremely detrimental to the school's mission: to provide students with the tools and ambition to compete in the new world of opportunities.
That new world is well expressed in the soaring volumes and airy spaces everywhere, starting with the lofty atrium that's the entrance core of the building, filled with natural light and providing places for students to work with their wireless computer access on any project in the technology-driven curriculum. During my recent visit, I saw many of them sitting on the floor in small groups, collaborating on assignments and socializing.
Classrooms are spacious and, again, filled with natural light from tall windows and shared glass partitions. These learning areas can be opened to each other and to common areas as the need arises.
On that visit, I was hosted by the dynamic and eloquent SPHS principal, Dr. Jennifer Putnam, and architect Kasey Teimouri. But our presence in classrooms, common areas and even laboratories was scarcely noticed, so intent were the students on their work. So much for the old theory that students are easily distracted and should be kept in a box. Not if they are truly engaged and working in an environment as rich in facilities and creatively engineered space as this one. Furthermore, they can take pride in the environmentally sensitive "green" principles at work everywhere, some of which are based on the free movement of light and air.
Yes, the interior finishes of the building are sometimes rather conventional, occasionally displaying evidence of budgetary restraint in their fittings and fixtures, but the spaces are dynamic and full of life, admirably suited to the sometimes daunting challenges presented by teaching to the world of tomorrow. It is increasingly evident that the old fixed disciplines are no longer valid in the contemporary workplace. Multitasking, it seems, is not just text-messaging while walking or—alas—while listening to conversation or music.
Take, for example, a course called "Integrated Science," a mixture of chemistry, biology and physics, jumbled together as they are in a typical business situation. Classrooms, labs and resource rooms have been designed with this multidisciplinary future in mind, the result being a place with its own creative energy, typical of the "real world" awaiting these young people.
That creative energy is perhaps best expressed on the exterior of the building, a whimsical take on academic architecture. Teimouri and the SchenkelShultz team have provided oddly shaped windows and playful colors, the forms indicating the learning "neighborhoods" within the building, each of which has its own character and a certain amount of autonomy. In the best gesture of all, the monumental entrance, a high canopy supported by five slender columns, clearly a playful expression of the grand entrances of the past, is flanked by the school's initials in bold modernist typography against a deep red wall.
What's so great about that, you ask? Well, the final letter "S" doesn't fit. It hangs out in space, floating in the future.

A weekly blog about food, farmers and everything in between.
If you've been to the Middlebury farmer's market recently, you might have noticed the small tent draped in blue and pink tulle, with a chalked sign proclaiming "Love Bites" at the entrance. Perhaps your eye was drawn by the platter of truffles and plates of smooth, shining cakes. Or maybe you noticed, instead, the woman behind the table.
Her name is Elcin (pronounced El-chin) Oflaz, and this Wednesday morning she sports a crocheted green dress and a Mad Hatter-esque top hat made of yellow straw. As people walk by and eye the decadent desserts, she calls out to them in a strong Turkish accent, suggesting that they try some. Some approach curiously. More shake their heads.
"But I haven't eaten lunch yet," is a common refrain. More common: "I don't need any more calories."
Oflaz with a tray of truffles
Independent photo / Angela Evancie
Oflaz shakes her head. "Maybe we need some other way to explain it."
The whiteboard at the front of Oflaz's tent advertises homemade truffles, zucchini pasta and cheesecake. Not advertised, however, is that the chocolate cake contains no sugar, the cheesecake contains no cheese, and that every one of the foods is raw, made with produce, nuts and plant-based extracts.
Raw foodists eat nothing that has been heated beyond 118 degrees. The heat, they say, breaks down enzymes that are essential to your body's digestive health. Many raw foodists attribute increased health and energy levels to the diet. But others argue that it may not be possible to obtain all necessary nutrients, such as vitamin B12, from a raw foods diet, and that it is difficult to obtain all of the calories necessary to survive.
Oflaz, however, has had only good experiences with the diet.
"After 40, women see the dessert and we run away," she says, pointing to her array of homemade foods. "But (raw food) makes us feel better, sexier — and lose weight."
Oflaz lives in New York, where she teaches classes on the benefits of raw food and its preparation, but she has not started to sell her own food. When her boyfriend, John West Townsend, suggested that she sell her food in his hometown of Middlebury, she got a spot at the farmer's market for the summer.
As new as raw food may be to Middlebury, it is also fairly new to Oflaz. Four months ago she attended Mehmet Ak's raw culinary institute in Chicago, returning home with a whole new way of cooking. Instead of a stove, she uses a food processor, a dehydrator and her freezer.
The beauty of her food, she explains, is that it tastes good, but it is also nutritious. Her truffles are 70 percent cacao and for sweeteners in her desserts she uses agave and fruit. She extols the nutrients of these ingredients.
"Why would you go to the health food store and buy a bottle of zinc, a bottle of magnesium? You can just eat a truffle!" she tells a customer.
The woman, who had expressed major doubt about buying a truffle (her objection was of the caloric nature), hands over the money and picks one from the tray.
"You're good at this," she tells Oflaz. "I would've walked right by."
"I am always the best when I sell what I believe in," Oflaz responds. "It's all about raw, baby. I'm raw and loving it."
She gives me a taste of zucchini pasta — which Townsend is grinding on a spiral slicer — with a topping of marinara sauce—tomato, garlic and fresh oregano, uncooked and savory. Her real passion, however, is for the sweets.
"I'm all about eating desserts. It helps you. It heals you," she says.
As she gives me a bite of her "cheesecake," she cuts herself a piece as well. I taste it, and she follows suit with a laugh.
"It's weird that I'm not gaining weight. I'm eating all this stuff!"
The cake doesn't taste anything like cheese. It is light and sweet — but not too sweet. The cream is filled with bananas and tastes of coconut — it is made of cashew, sweetened with agave and flavored with coconut oil. The chocolate cake is decadent and creamy, but the occasional crunch reminds me that it is made with dates.
"You eat it, but you don't want to eat more and more," says Oflaz, contrasting her own desserts with ones made from conventional sugar and flour.
She traces her love of food to the culture of her native Istanbul.
"Mediterranean culture is all about gathering around food," she says. "When you have guests you give them food to show them love."
She has spent the 14 years since she arrived in New York promoting Mediterranean food as a healthy, lifelong diet. She is a health consultant and yoga therapist, and according to her business card, an "event planner and party chef for your palate and for your figure."
But with her switch to raw foods, the meaning of food has shifted as well.
"Before, food (for me) was more about emotion and conversation," she said. "Now it's about being healthy and staying young."
These days she makes the occasional exception for cooked salmon, but most of her diet is composed of raw food. This, she says, makes her feel great.
"I'm not here to convert people. Just to let them know to be conscious of what they're eating. To integrate some good food into their diet," she said.
Note: Although Oflaz will be away for the next month, her stand will be at the farmer's market from August through October.

Topic: Fear Clinic
So I was watching some of fearnet's new movies last night and I saw a trailer for the their new series 'Fear Clinic' with Robert Englund. Has anyone else seen this? At first I was intrigued 'cause I love seeing Robert Englund in anything (anybody remember his special guest appearance on Married...With Children?). Now after seeing the trailer I'm very excited. Not only does it look like it has some great and creative FX but, unless my eyes deceive me, Kane Hodder is also in the series. Are you for real? Hodder and Englund in the same hour (Unless you count the split second cameo by Hodder in '2001 Maniacs')? The unity I've always been waiting for but was denied at the last moment? I can't wait... Comming this October...I'll be ready.

Ariel Sharon,
Israeli prime minister, halfheartedly began to take the first steps in implementing a U.S.-led peace initiative, called the road map, in May. Sharon outraged right-wing Israelis when he said Israel's policy toward Palestinians amounted to an occupation. But his efforts ultimately rang hollow: Israel did not dismantle settlements, much less prevent new ones from cropping up, and Sharon continued to build the controversial security barrier that divides Israeli and Palestinian areas. By September, a spate of Palestinian suicide bombings and Israeli retaliations dashed hopes for peace.

The owner of a Ferndale bike shop is already thinking spring by planning a big bike ride. But his idea is not spinning with support.
The 54-mile-long Gran Fondo bike race is extremely popular in Europe and other cities across the country.
This is the race that Downtown Ferndale Bike Shop owner, Jon Hughes, was hoping to bring to Woodward Avenue.
He planned the race for June 30, but the city of Royal Oak has but the breaks on the biking event. Officials say a race that stretches from Detroit to Pontiac is just not sage.
But Hughes is not giving up.
He's going ahead with his plan for the 54 mile race with or without the city's support.
Hughes is hoping at least 2,000 riders will get the wheels turning with him.

Men staff a checkpoint in Boryspil, outside Kiev, Ukraine on May 5. / Sergei Chuzavkov, AP
KIEV, Ukraine - Gun battles raged Tuesday between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian militants as Germany's foreign minister warned that Ukraine is "close to war."
Ukrainian troops tightened the forces around the major insurgent-held eastern city of Slovyansk but pro-Russia militias struck out elsewhere. Up to 30 pro-Russian militants have been killed in the clashes, the Ukrainian government said.
Meanwhile, 14 Ukrainian soldiers were killed and 66 wounded, officials from the State Security Service said Tuesday.
"The threat now is that we are reaching the point of no return â?? a moment when the escalation cannot be stopped anymore and we literally are on the threshold of a war in Eastern Europe," German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a German daily newspaper.
The separatists have held key administration buildings in several cities in Ukraine's east for weeks. In Slovyansk, the separatists' stronghold in the eastern Ukrainian, the Ukrainian military has blockaded the town, trying to reclaim it.
One separatist leader, Myroslav Rudenko, told Russian LifeNews network that 20 people were killed during the counterterrorist operation, some of them civilians who had not participated in the revolt. Ukrainian officials denied the claim.
"The Ukrainian military cannot shoot at civilians," said Avakov. "This limitation is often being used by the enemy to their advantage."
"We are bound hand and foot with the fact that (the separatists) are hiding behind civilians," Avakov said in Slovyansk.
Ukraine's State Security Service said that the civilians in the east are under "serious influence of propaganda and don't trust the actions of Ukrainian law enforcement aimed at destroying terrorists only."
The militants say they want to hold a referendum May 11 on whether to join Russia, whose military has infiltrated Ukraine and has been assisting ethnic Russians who have forced their way into city offices. Though many in eastern Ukraine do want to secede, many have said they do not.
Russain President Vladimir Putin supports the referendum and is also opposing Ukraine's national elections set for May 25. In a referendum on March 16, Ukraine's southern region of Crimea allegedly voted to separate from Ukraine and was then annexed by Russia. The United States said the vote was rigged.
In Donetsk, approximately 75 miles south of Slovyansk, flights from the local airport were suspended Tuesday. Many also expect increased tensions during celebrations marking Victory Day on May 9.
"With parades and rallies traditionally held on May 9, the situation will be perfect for instigating the street clashes," said Nataliya Huseva of Donetsk, which is the center of troubled eastern region. "If I have to go outside on this day, I'll be extremely careful and will stay away from city center."
Huseva said he is especially nervous because of what happened in Odessa, she said. Street clashes between pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian activists resulted in 46 deaths after some of the activists became trapped by shooting and in a fire.
Ukraine replaced the acting governor of the Odessa region with Ihor Palytsya, a member of parliament. There is concern that Odessa could be the next region to fall to pro-Russia forces. The government sent an elite national guard force to Odessa, where it could be seen Tuesday patrolling the streets.
"(The separatists) have some of the population on their side and with time the population might become more supportive of some kind of new status quo â?? in that sense it is getting harder and harder for the government in Kiev," said Susan Stewart, deputy head of Research Division on Eastern Europe and Eurasia of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin.
"I think that there is a chance to regaining control but it would require a certain price to be paid, also in terms of lives."
Russia said that it will move to bolster its Black Sea naval fleet with additional warships and submarines, according to the Interfax news agency, citing comments made by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Does anyone have this book?
Seems like a great price on amazon
Does anyone have this book?
Seems like a great price on amazon
Just got my copy. This is an extremly nice book with lots of photos and descriptions of whiskey production from around the world. There's also a short section on the US micro-distilleries that's very informative.
I just bought this and it is an excellent book (and not only because I am mentioned in the acknowledgments ).
The plan is very interesting: the generic aspects of whisky are considered first such as climactic factors (e.g. water, soil), grains, mashing, yeast and fermentation, distillation methods, barrels, aging. And before that is a brief conspectus of whiskey's social and cultural profile. The whiskies of the whisky lands are organised by country and within by state, province, district or city. If this schema does not add always to an understanding of whisky attributes (it does famously for Scotland) it is still a useful way to organise and view the material. The photographs are stunning, Jackson has always used photographs effectively but has gotten even better. The book is partly written by Michael and partly by 10 or so contributors. Stuart Ramsay wrote the Canadian and U.S. sections (although I think I can see the influence of Jackson, in fact throughout the book, I don't know if he was the official editor but since his name appears on the front cover and face page clearly he has reviewed all the text carefully and it hangs together well). Michael wrote the Irish and Japanese sections. Dave Broome wrote the Scotland section. Ramsay is foreign-born (Scots) but lives in the U.S. and clearly devoted a lot of time to studying U.S. whiskey in its fullness. There is a section detailing whiskey in other parts of the world (e.g. Europe) and a brief overview of U.S. microdistilling developments.
If there is one thing I'd change it would be to focus more on rye whiskey. The book has chapters on Pennsylvania and Maryland (noting of course no whiskey is made there now) and this part seems a little awkward although mention of these states can be viewed as justified for historical reasons.
At the end are short essays on whisky cocktails, whisky and food and how to drink whisky proper which are never less than illuminating.
In the countries' discussion, taste notes are given of a handful of products, in side-bars. This works well because the book is not a taste guide as such but rather a survey of whiskey in general.
The book is published in England by the same company that put out Michael's 1987 World Guide To Whisky and many of the design features from the earlier book are reproduced here, the lay-out that is is quite reminiscent of the older book. I think that was intentional, to add to the impression that this book is an update of that earlier book which in effect it is. The blurb states that the 1987 book was the first to bracket Irish, American, Canadian and Japanese whiskies with Scottish whisky, which is very true. We take for granted this kind of optic today but it took a Michael Jackson to create it. The way for example that Malt Advocate and Whisky Magazine cover whiskey would be inconceivable without that first book and Michael Jackson.
A fine effort by the world's leading authority (in my opinion) and a must-buy for any serious student of whisky.
It looks like this book has made it Downunder in limited quantities
I picked up a copy this week from Dymocks for $75.00 AU
As I never the original 1987 book, I find at first glance that this is a wonderful and unique way to showcase the world of Whiskey and look forward to reading it in detail. It's already been comented on when it's displayed on the bar
It doesn't really contribute to the thread, but I still compelled to add that in my naivete, I wasn't even aware that a book like this existed. I'm going to have to get a copy and maybe search for some other tomes on the subject.
There have been some good threads on bourbon libraries over the last year or so.
I don't have time to locate them at the moment (I'm posting this at work) but run a search for a thread like "A Good Whiskey Library" from the last 12 months.

Whitesburg, Ky. (WYMT) - A long time Eastern Kentucky school superintendent announces her retirement. Anna Craft says she will step down as head of the Letcher County school system at the end of June.
It started as a special meeting to approve new contracts for a couple of school system employees, but Superintendent Craft said the time was right to write the last line on an education career that spanned decades.
Letcher County Board of Education Chairman Robert Kiser says the announcement of Superintendent Craft's retirement took everyone by surprise.
"None of us was expecting that," Kiser said. "You know we was coming in to review a contract, to renew or potentially whatever needed to be done."
Kiser says Monday night's school board meeting was called to renew contracts for two Letcher County Public Schools employees, namely attorney Darell Hall and school board secretary Debbie Cook.
A review of the Superintendent's contract was also included, but Kiser says the board had not planned to take any action.
"We were planning on actually acting upon that part of this agenda tonight at at the next meeting. Tonight was just strictly going to be a discussion on that," he said.
The chairman says Superintendent Craft's contract is set to expire June 30th. Now that she has announced her retirement, the school board will have to find her replacement.
"I think we're going to look at going with the Kentucky School Boards Association, and get their input and help advertising and finding a new superintendent," Kiser said.
Whoever takes the job, Kiser says they will have big shoes to fill.
Tonight's school board meeting was a special meeting, which means the board could not take any action on items that were not on the agenda. The board will be able to formally accept Superintendent Craft's retirement notice at their regular meeting next week.

Mountain Rose Herbs Makes Strides to Reduce Emissions Then Neutralize the Rest
It takes continuous effort to manage and reduce carbon emissions associated with running a business. Long-term Carbonfree® Business Partner Mountain Rose Herbs takes this commitment to operational sustainability very seriously and has made great progress to "reduce what you can, offset what you can't™" year over year.
Mountain Rose Herbs offers high quality organic bulk herbs, gourmet spices, loose leaf teas, essential oils, herbal extracts, and natural body care ingredients, including certified organic, fair trade, ethically wild harvested, and Kosher certified botanical products, through its online store. The company's primary facility was constructed with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards and relies heavily on natural lighting. Energy demand was further reduced by making a complete lighting upgrade to energy-efficient bulbs in principal facilities and installing Energy-Star rated heating and cooling systems.
In addition, Mountain Rose Herbs upgraded all computers to those with Gold Star ratings for energy conservation, minimal shipment packaging, and elimination of environmentally harmful materials, as well as more energy-efficient flat screen monitors. The company converted all electrical usage to a local Green Power program to ensure that a significant portion of electricity comes from wind and solar sources.
Even with all of these efforts, management at Mountain Rose Herbs recognizes that the company still produces carbon emissions. Since 2008, they've worked with Carbonfund.org to measure and offset these unavoidable emissions by supporting clean energy and carbon reduction projects such as a wind farm in India, a methane collection plant in New York, and Carbonfund.org's forest conservation work in Brazil. To date, the company has neutralized over 4 million pounds of carbon emissions, equivalent to taking 400 passenger cars off the road for a year!
Carbonfund.org applauds Mountain Rose Herbs for its long-term and continuous commitment to sustainability and is honored to partner with the company to help achieve its goals.
Biogen Achieves Carbon Neutrality and Publishes Annual CCR
On Tuesday, Biogen, one of the world's oldest independent biotechnology companies, announced that it has achieved operational carbon neutrality. This important sustainability milestone was reached through a multi-year initiative to reduce carbon emissions from global operations and by investing in environmental projects to offset the remaining carbon emissions that could not be eliminated from business activities, including emissions from its suppliers' operations, employee commuting and business travel.
The company's commitment to environmental sustainability, philanthropy and diversity are highlighted in its 2014 annual Corporate Citizenship Report, which Biogen also released on Tuesday.
To achieve carbon neutrality, Biogen has reduced carbon emissions through:
- Investments in sustainable technologies and highly efficient facilities and manufacturing processes including energy-efficient heating and cooling, power through co-generation, and advanced distribution systems to conserve water.
- Coordination with its top suppliers to help manage their overall environmental impact and encourage regular reporting of their energy usage and carbon emissions in order to set and meet reduction targets. Currently, about 70 percent of the carbon emissions associated with Biogen's business comes from its suppliers.
- Investments in programs that fund wind, solar and low-impact hydroelectric power in the United States, Denmark, and Switzerland. Biogen is also investing in landfill gas projects that take naturally occurring methane gas and use it to produce energy.
Biogen followed the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Standard methodology, the most widely used international accounting tool for quantifying and managing carbon emissions, in calculating carbon emissions from its global operations. These calculations were validated by third-party auditors to confirm Biogen's statement of carbon neutrality.
Biogen's leadership in operational sustainability has received numerous and wide-reaching recognition. Earlier this month, Biogen achieved the number one ranking on the Newsweek list of "Top Green Companies in the World 2015,". In January, Biogen was also named the most sustainable company in the world on the Corporate Knights' Global 100 list, and was named the biotechnology Industry leader on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World last October.
Carbonfund.org Foundation is proud to continue to partner with Biogen in achievement of its milestone carbon neutrality goals.

Their auditing, training and consulting services have benefitted clients in over 60 countries on six continents, and their commitment to neutralizing their own operational emissions establishes CRS as a clear leader in corporate risk consultancy and sustainability leadership.
Clean Power Plan May Yield Billions in Economic Benefits and New Jobs
Earlier this month, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released their proposed Clean Power Plan. As readers of this blog are already aware, the Clean Power Plan proposes carbon emission standards for coal-fired power plants, which are the single largest source of carbon pollution in the U.S., generating approximately one-third of all domestic greenhouse gas emissions. Some specifics are that under the Clean Power Plan, states must expand their energy sources and use solar (photovoltaic and solar thermal), wind, geothermal, sustainably sourced biomass, biogas, and low-impact hydrology in order to decrease their carbon emissions.
Did you know that renewable energy technologies are characteristically more labor-intensive than intensely mechanized fossil fuel technologies? This means that the potential economic benefits may be substantial; not to mention the significant benefits for our climate and health.
The solar industry employed over 100,000 workers in jobs ranging from solar manufacturing and sales to installation according to the Solar Foundation in 2011. Solar jobs grew by 20% percent in 2013 and 2014 is expected to create 22,000 jobs. Furthermore, these statistics were reported before the EPA plan was released, which may further boost the renewable job sector.
Let's look at wind energy. The amount of domestically manufactured equipment used in wind turbines doubled from 35% in 2006 to 70% in 2011 with 560 factories directly employing 75,000 full-time employees.
The hydroelectric power industry also plays a role. Statistics show in 2009 it employed 250,000 people. As many as 700,000 jobs could be generated if the hydropower industry installs a new capacity of 23,000 – 60,000 megawatts (MW) by 2025. Rounding out our look at the renewable energy sector, the geothermal industry directly employed 5,200 people in 2010.
The Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) estimated in 2009 that a national, renewable electricity standard attempting to cut 25% of carbon emissions by 2025 would generate 297,000 jobs, $263.4 billion in new capital investment, $13.5 billion in income to farmers, ranchers, and rural landowners, and $11.5 billion in new local tax revenues. Remember, the EPA proposed reducing carbon emissions from existing power plants by 30% below 2005 levels by 2030. So the potential economic benefits may increase over the UCS's estimates.
With these figures, we're not even taking into account a complete picture of the potential economic benefits from expanded renewable energy sources. Think about how direct job creation leads to indirect job creation. For example, when you hire additional employees, you may very well need a larger Human Resources staff.
All of this comes at a time when our country could deeply benefit from economic stimulation. The U.S. economy is still anemic, with unemployment rates remaining high, and a disturbing national debt that's expected to reach $20 trillion by 2020. We must embrace win-win scenarios such as these that combine healing our ailing planet with economic recovery. It's past time to forge the path to a low-carbon future.
Americans Largely Unaware of Global Warming's Impacts on Their Health
Ever come down with Lyme disease? Do you suffer from asthma? Think climate change might have something to do with it? Before you write off this thought as crazy consider the numbers.
The World Health Organization estimates that a minimum of 140,000 people currently die each year around the globe from the effects of climate change. That number does not include the millions more who are made ill from diseases such as asthma, heatstroke or malaria nor does it account for those that are otherwise physically harmed, for example from extreme weather events.
As if these numbers aren't bad enough, Americans are largely unaware of the impact climate change is already having on their health. The Yale Project on Climate Change Communication conducted a nationwide survey this spring asking respondents to give, "their best estimates of the impacts of global warming on human health worldwide – currently and 50 years from now. The largest proportion of respondents (38% to 42%) simply said, 'I don't know.' The next largest proportion (27% to 39%) said either 'no one' or 'hundreds' of people worldwide will die, be made ill or injured by global warming each year, either now or 50 years from now."
"Only 18% to 32% of Americans said, correctly, that each year either 'thousands' or 'millions' of people worldwide will die, be made ill or injured by global warming, either now or 50 years from now."
One look at the conclusion of the health chapter of the recently released 2014 National Climate Assessment demonstrates that hundreds of climate experts see the danger from the global warming review they conducted over the past four years, "Climate change threatens human health and well-being in many ways, including impacts from increased extreme weather events, wildfire, decreased air quality, threats to mental health, and illnesses transmitted by food, water, and disease-carriers such as mosquitoes and ticks. Some of these health impacts are already underway in the United States."
We need to begin making the realization that global warming is here, it's already killing some of us and there is no time to lose in cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Americans are especially prone to think that technology will save us. Perhaps, but perhaps not. A new study argues that climate engineering may not be the answer to averting a climate change catastrophe. You know what will definitely help? Reducing what you can and offsetting the rest. Let's get to it posthaste.
Think Nearly 100% Renewable Energy in Less than 50 Years is Impossible? Think Again
Within one generation, by 2050, the U.S. can gradually and almost completely eliminate coal and nuclear power finds a new report out from Greenpeace and the Global Wind Energy Council. The report, "Energy [R]evolution – A Sustainable USA Energy Outlook," released last week details the steps we need to take to change greenhouse gas emitting systems such as electricity, heating and transportation. If we follow the groups' blueprint, the country is estimated to reduce carbon emissions 39% percent below 2005 levels by 2025 and 60% below 2005 levels by 2030.
This report is the latest in a series of global, national and regional Energy [R]evolution scenarios found at www.energyblueprint.info. "The Energy [R]evolution demonstrates that transitioning to a renewable energy economy can free resources for economic development. It means more and better jobs, greater energy independence, and it is more democratic as citizens attain more control of energy production. Compared with the Energy Information Agency energy outlook, the transition to renewables creates more jobs at every stage of the energy transition, with more than 34% more jobs by 2030."
The Energy [R]evolution's goal is to, "wean the economy off dirty fuels as thoroughly and quickly as possible, and in a way that is technologically, politically, and ecologically realistic." Although this report focuses on the United States, it is, "part of a global analysis showing how the international economy can transition to nearly 100% renewable energy by 2050, while assuming no new 'breakthrough technologies'."
Specifically, the report outlines how by 2050 renewable energy sources could provide:
- Roughly 97% of U.S. electricity production
- 94% of the country's total heating and cooling demand
- About 92% of America's final energy demand
"The most recent National Climate Assessment makes it very clear that we need national policies to expedite a clean energy economy," said Kyle Ash, senior legislative representative for Greenpeace USA.
"Fortunately, the energy market is phasing out coal and phasing in renewable energy at a rapid pace, but this must be quickened to avoid climate consequences much worse than the wildfires, droughts, and superstorms the country is already experiencing," said Ash.
Indeed, the Energy [R]evolution sounds like a good way to start putting the brakes on global warming and engender the truly transformative change we must undertake immediately to avoid catastrophic climate change. The time has come for us to embrace a low-carbon future.
Foster-Stephens Improves Environmental Sustainability of Wedding Gown and Heirlooms Preservation
Storing your wedding gown, vintage clothing, family heirlooms or military uniforms became more environmentally sustainable when Foster-Stephens joined the Carbonfree ® Business Partnership program last fall.
Foster-Stephens of Elk Grove Village, IL has been producing storage solutions including archival boxes, muslin garment bags and reusable/recyclable garment bags to preserve and protect wedding gowns and other family treasures since 1936. Their product line includes many styles and sizes of archival protection boxes and bags to anyone interested in preserving textiles and family heirlooms: dry cleaners, museums, designers, costume archivists, military personnel and individuals interested in preserving their heritage.
To improve their own operational sustainability and neutralize operational emissions, Foster-Stephens supports Carbonfund.org's reforestation projects around the world that help to sequester carbon dioxide and reduce carbon emissions. They also maintain recycling programs in their office and warehouse, and select products made from recyclable materials.
"We are proud of our ongoing efforts to reduce our carbon footprint," states Nancy L. Jones, President of Foster-Stephens. "Our partnership with Carbonfund.org allows us to maintain our commitment to providing the best products for protecting textiles for future generations while offsetting the carbon emissions required to provide these products."
Historical preservation is important, but it should be accomplished with minimal impact on our environment's future. Foster-Stephens is helping to achieve this goal by carefully selecting environmentally-responsible preservation packaging products and mitigating its own business emissions in partnership with Carbonfund.org.
Live Superfoods Joins Locavore Movement Through CarbonFree® Partnership
There have been a variety of studies published in recent years showing that vegan and vegetarian diets produce a lower carbon footprint than omnivore or carnivore diets. Raw vegans further reduce their dietary footprint by greatly reducing the energy used to prepare foods. But what about the locavore movement and efforts to source food as close to home as possible?
Live Superfoods, a purveyor of raw, organic, vegan foods and nutritional supplements, recognized that their healthy diet options often came from distant lands, thus increasing the carbon footprint due to packaging materials and shipping emissions. In order to reduce these emissions, Live Superfoods took several steps to reuse and recycle shipping cartons and packing materials wherever possible, use recycled paper tape for sealing shipments and recyclable fill materials instead of bubble wrap and Styrofoam peanuts. Then, to neutralize the remaining shipping emissions, Live Superfoods joined the CarbonFree® Business Partnership program four years ago. The CarbonFree® Partner program makes it simple and affordable for Live Superfoods to mitigate its remaining operational emissions, including all shipping emissions and all employee commuting emissions, on an annual basis.
Live Superfoods purchases enough carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org to offset the shipment of products not only from their warehouse to their customers, but also from their global suppliers to the distribution warehouse. Consequently, their products have a lower carbon footprint than what most locavores consider local.
"As individuals, we're extremely excited about the locavore movement. But since Live Superfoods specializes in superfoods that are typically grown in exotic places, our company hasn't been able to participate," explains Tom Burke, CEO of Live Superfoods. "Now, by purchasing carbon offsets from Carbonfund.org, we're able to import and deliver our foods to the ultimate consumer carbon-free. Our products now have a smaller carbon footprint than foods delivered by farmers to the local farmers' market!"
Live Superfoods also participates in their power company's Blue SkySM Renewable Energy program, which supports a blend of 100% Pacific Northwest renewable resources from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. This initiative further neutralizes Live Superfoods' annual operational emissions, and together with the CarbonFree® Business Partnership, underscores Live Superfoods' leadership position as a truly sustainable provider of healthy raw vegan foods, supplements and personal care products.
Simi Valley Ford Launches "Drive to Save the Environment Campaign"
Local Ford Dealership to launch first ever green initiative to offset carbon footprints
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., January 31, 2013 - Simi Valley Ford will be launching its first-ever green initiative called the Drive to Save the Environment Campaign.The dealership has partnered with the Carbonfund.org Foundation to help offset the carbon footprint for the next 2 years of every new Ford vehicle that is sold during this campaign.The two and a half month long event will kick off on February 1st and go through Earth Day, April 22nd.
For every vehicle sold during this campaign-- from compact cars like the Ford Fiesta to the larger, F-150 trucks, Simi Valley Ford will purchase 2 years of carbon offsets by making a donation to support Carbonfund.org's carbon emissions reduction projects. Whether it's planting trees, pulling plastic out of the ocean, recycling or investing in renewable energies, the dealership has made a commitment to help reduce the carbon footprint in CA for all of the vehicles sold over the next 80 days.
"We at Simi Valley Ford are concerned about the future of our planet, so by partnering with a green organization like Carbonfund.org, we are hoping to help raise awareness to this growing issue. We are also excited to allow our customers the opportunity to drive 'emissions free,' simply just by buying a car," says Mike Shell, Fleet Manager, Simi Valley Ford.
After Hurricane Sandy, a recent survey shows that 70 percent of Americans believe that climate change is caused by our daily carbon footprint emissions. Most people are unsure of how they can do their part to help reduce emissions, so Simi Valley Ford wants to help raise awareness on climate change, while promoting Ford's green initiatives at the same time. The dealership is working with several green organizations to help promote this campaign and raise awareness in the community.
"Simi Valley Ford is taking a real leadership position by neutralizing the first two years of carbon emissions from every new Ford vehicle sold during their Drive to Save the Environment Campaign. It's this type of forward thinking and pro-activity in the fight against climate change that we encourage among our business partners and supporters," explains Eric M. Carlson, President of Carbonfund.org. "We're very honored to participate as a partner with Simi Valley Ford for this inaugural campaign."
Simi Valley Ford has set a goal to sell 300 new vehicles between February 1st and April 22nd.They invite any and all local and national companies to join them in helping to reach their goal. This is the first time the dealership has launched this campaign and hopes that it will grow exponentially year to year, not just in CA, but also to Ford dealerships nationwide.

2012 Retrospective – Were this Year's Events Enough to Spur Lasting Climate Change Efforts?
This year offered several events that shone a spotlight directly on the important and urgent issue of climate change, but the question remains, "Was it enough to bring about meaningful efforts to reduce climate change?"
June of 2012 presented the United Nations Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil which disappointed many as international representatives hemmed and hawed instead of establishing true endeavors to tackle global warming. Meanwhile the continental United States embarked on summer heat waves that were some of the hottest in its history.
This year also saw drought cover more than half the country; farmers suffered as their crops and animals died.
Then October of 2012 brought superstorm Sandy, this year's biggest example of extreme weather and a deadly harbinger of the devastating effects of climate change. Can we continue to sit idly by in the face of all these signs that global warming is making broad changes to our planet? Should we leave these environmental problems for our children to face as we continue down an unsustainable path?
The close of the year is a time to reflect on the previous events of the year and make resolutions for the coming year. Let's pledge to make 2013 the year where we confront climate change in every possible way. We can all embark on energy efficiency efforts; reducing what we can and lowering our carbon footprints. Every bit helps. Then it is a powerful combination to offset the rest of our carbon emissions. It would be a genuine shame to let the lessons of this past year slip from our consciousness while there is still time and so much that can and should be done to address climate change.

CustomerShirley from Dallas TX
Removed 2 screws, pulled element out. My husband used an ohmmeter to see if the electricity needed to be turned off. It showed no voltage. He could not remove electrical connectors by hand, so he used insulated pliers. When he touched the connectors, a shower of sparks covered the inside of the oven and tripped the breaker switch. Then we noticed the pliers were welded to the side of the oven. Thankfully the pliers had insulated handles and he was not hurt. It might be a good idea to put in the instructions to TURN OFF POWER TO OVEN in the breaker panel because our oven was definitely HOT. Oven works perfectly now.
Level of DifficultyEasy
CustomerKevin from New London OH
I used tiny amount of WD40 on old screws,let sit for 2 minutes. Tapped the screws(2) of them with a small hammer to wake them up, I had a cordless drill and they backed right out. Pulled the old element out, used needle nose pliers to pull connectors off of the element(wiggle gently) put the new element on, reinserted back in the oven,attached with new screws that came with the element, started the oven. Worked Perfect!!!
CustomerJames from Kerrville TX
First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. Clipped the wires back onto new element and used the two stainless screws provided in kit to resecure.It should be noted that I first called a local Maytag Appliance Co. and inquired about this element. I was told that they would have to order it and it would cost me 68.00 plus tax. I told them I knew what these elements are worth and their price was a gouge. They didn't care. This is a repair that anyone knowing how to work a Phillips screwdriver can perform. Save some money and do-it-yourself. Thanks Partselect!
CustomerKeith from hixson TN
turned off power, removed two screws mounting the old element, cut wires, and removed old element, crimped new stake connectors onto existing wiring, attached stake connectors to new element, installed element with two new screws provided, turned power back on. It would be easier to just slip the two stake connectors off and reinstall on the new element but I elected to install new connectors because the oven was over ten years old and one seemed loose.
CustomerMichael from Wilmington DE
Fortunately, we had read the instructions on line, because none were included with the part. Still, it was REALLY easy. We unscrewed the two screws, pulled the element away from the back wall and pulled the wires off the contacts at the back. (That was the hardest part, because they were stuck-on well. WD-40 was helpful here.) The one piece of paper that did arrive with the part told us the ground wire was no longer necessary if you use the new screws that came with the part, so we ended up cutting the ground wire off. We then put the other wires back on the new contacts, pushed it back into place, and re-screwed it to the back wall. We have used the oven several times since, and it's all working well.
Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins
CustomerSamuel from San Fransansico CA
I drilled two holes on the plate and I did use same original screws.I just wanted to say once it was installed, It worked great.Thank you,Sam

I removed the two screws holding the element in place and disconnected the two wire terminals.I then reversed the above steps to insatll the new element. SUPER EASY!!
CustomerJohn from Pittsburgh PA
I removed the two screws that held in the old part. I pulled the element out a few inches.I disconnected two wires from the old element and connected it to the new. Using the screws provided I reconnected the unit. All went well. No need for repairman. 1
Customerharry from front royal VA
CustomerManuk from STUDIO CITY CA
Turn off the electricity for the oven from the switch box. Unsure the damaged element from the unit. Pull it forward and unplug connections. Then plug the new element and use the new screws to screw it back to the unit. That's all
CustomerChristina from Glen Mills PA
Unscrewed old element from back of oven, disconnected and reinserted new element and screwed back into place. Voila! So glad to have saved the cost of a repairman. Where I live this would have been a $200 repair(part and service call) easily. This repair took no time at all. Very please as to how fast Parts service got the part to me. I use my oven a lot, so I was lost without it.
CustomerFrank from St. Charles MO
The instructions reviewed in the Maytag Parts web site provided very good information that told me how to remove and replace the heating element. It took me about 15 minutes to complete the replacement. The oven then began to function properly.I am impressed with the rate I was sent the replacement. I received the replacement within 24 hours after I submitted the request for the product.
CustomerLarry from Benton LA
I TURNED THE POWER OFF !!! removed the two screws holding the element in place, disconnected the two power wires, installed the new element. Done, in less than five minutes.
CustomerAlan from Raven VA
Turned off the breaker first. Remove the mounting screws and unplug the element. Then replace the new element. Then put in the mounting screws and turn the breaker on. Easy.

FORT MYERS, Florida (News-Press) - A settlement has been reached in the case of an Ohio man who died after he had been in custody at the Lee County Jail.
Christie was 62 when he was arrested on a disorderly intoxication
charge March 25, 2009, and then on March 27 on a trespassing charge.
Christie was taken to the hospital March 29 and died two days later.
The medical examiner termed Christie's death a homicide and pointed to restraint and pepper-spraying by guards as factors.
family filed a civil lawsuit against Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott,
Prison Health Services Inc. and individual deputies and nurses at the
