Motion Mania: Applying Physics to Hula-Hooping
AbstractPractice makes you better at most things, and knowledge makes practice so much easier! Can you swirl a circular toy called a hula hoop around your waist or arm? Is it hard? What knowledge can you apply to find ways that make hula-hooping easier? Physics! Yes, physics will help you determine what makes one hula hoop a winner and another a flop.
In this science project, you will create your own hula hoops, spin them, and draw conclusions. The road will then be open to your becoming a hula hoop expert.
To make hula hoops of different circumference and mass and study how these factors affect the speed at which the hula hoop spins around.

Have you ever spent time spinning a hula hoop on your waist or arm? Have you ever wondered how hula hoops work? This science project will not only teach you how to make a hula hoop, but it will also guide you in finding the hula hoop that is right for you and describe the physics that make a hula hoop spin. Add a little spinning creativity and practice, and you could become a hula hoop expert!
So, what is there to know about hula hoops? How can physics help you become a winning hooper?
While we can "hoop it up" on various parts of our body, we focus here on traditional waist hooping. Once you understand this, you can extend the reasoning to arm hooping. But before we analyze what makes the hula hoop spin, let us think about how we are going to measure the spinning motion of the hoop. Any ideas? Would the speed, or how fast the hula hoop spins, be a good factor to measure? If so, how would you do it? (In this project, the speed will be measured as the number of times the hula hoop makes a full turn per minute.)
Now, let us study what makes the hoop spin. In any hooping, you are the source of the hoop's movement. When you move your body to propel your hoop around you, you are actually exerting an upward force (from your hips) to keep the hoop from falling and a turning force known as torque to keep it spinning. Torque is a twisting, outward force that is basically needed to cause something to spin (or rotate), and, once spinning, torque is needed to keep it spinning. Here, it is interesting to note that the amount of force needed to keep up a good spinning motion depends upon the weight and mass of the hoop and the size of the hoop as well as how it fits around your waist.
Weight and mass? Are these not the same? No, even though they are closely related, they are different. Mass is a measure of how much "stuff" an object holds. It is expressed in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) and is a measure of how easily the object reacts to a force. Say we have a 2000 kg car and a 100 g (or 0.1 kg) toy car. If you give both the same push (a scientist would say "you apply the same force to both objects") to get each to move forward, which one will react quickly and move faster? Also, once they are both in motion, which will be easier to stop when applying the same force to both? The one with a lot or a little mass? You see, a lot of mass needs a lot of force to make its motion change (for instance, slow down or speed up). How would this apply to your hoop? Would a heavy hoop react strongly or just a little to a small push? Would it have a greater or lesser change in speed?
If mass is a measure of "the amount of stuff," what is weight? Weight is a force, measured by how strong the planet you are on (e.g., the Earth or the Moon) "pulls" the object toward itself. A hula hoop has the same mass here on Earth as on the Moon because it consists of the same amount of material. The weight of the hula hoop, on the other hand, is greater on Earth than on the Moon. Why? Because the force of gravity is stronger on Earth than on the Moon, so the Earth pulls harder on the hula hoop than the Moon does.
Of course, we can not go to the Moon or any other planet to practice with our hula hoops, but weight still plays a role. How? Well, do you think a hula hoop with more mass will be pulled more strongly toward Earth than a hula hoop with less mass? Think of the car: Does a loaded toy car (loaded means more mass) feel heavier than an empty one? The feeling of "heavy" is the Earth pulling stronger on it. So more mass (more stuff) does mean more weight (a stronger pull of the planet) if we compare objects on the same planet. Because a more massive hula hoop is heavier, it will tend to fall down more rapidly. What can a hula-hooper do to prevent it from falling? The hooper needs to give it a stronger push up to overcome its weight (or to balance the force pulling the hoop down, as a scientist would say).
So far, we have the weight pulling the hoop down and our body giving it a push up to prevent it from falling, and we have torque giving the hula hoop a spin... so will it spin forever? Is there anything slowing down the turning motion? Think for a minute: If a ball is rolling, does it roll forever? No, of course not, but what stops or slows the ball down? Friction stops the ball. The ball slows down (or decelerates) because of friction between the ball and the air surrounding it and between the ball and the surface it rolls on. The same is true for the hula hoop. Because of friction, you need to periodically give the hoop a little boost, or torque, to overcome the friction that stops the hoop from turning and keep it spinning. At the same time, friction also works against gravity to help keep the hula hoop up on the hula-hooper's body.
We still need to explore one important aspect, the size of the hoop and its effect on speed. Would a big hoop (larger circumference) turn around your body slower or faster than a small hoop? If the question seems difficult, maybe exaggerating will help provide the answer. Would a hoop that is much bigger than your waist take more time to make a full turn around your waist than a hoop that barely fits around you? Of course, it is easy to visualize that it will take more time for the larger hoop to make a full turn than the smaller one. This means that the larger hoop has less speed than the smaller hoop.
Now that we have explained it all, let us review what we have learned:
- Weight pulls the hoop down. The hula-hooper prevents this downward pull by periodically pushing up and by pushing out, causing a turning force called torque.
- Friction works to slow the hoop down, and the hula-hooper needs to prevent this by applying torque. Friction also works to keep the hoop up.
- The greater the mass of the hoop, the greater the weight and the more the hula-hooper needs to push for the hoop to react and stay up. The same force or push to a lighter object when applied to a more massive object will cause the more massive object to change its motion (speeding up or slowing down) less.
- The larger the hoop, the slower it will spin.
Can you put it all together and make a prediction? What would be easier: working with a hoop with more mass or less mass? Working with a bigger or a smaller hoop? In fact, there is no right or wrong answer to this question! What works for one person does not always work for another. This science project challenges you to find what works for you (or your test person). Disappointed? While what works well for one person may not be best for another, science does enable you to make other types of predictions! In this physics science project, you will investigate how the size and weight of a hula hoop affects the speed at which it spins around. Can you predict which one would turn fastest (or which has the highest speed)? The small lightweight hula hoop? The heavy, bigger version? The heavy, small hula hoop? Or the lightweight, big hula hoop? Here, there is a right answer! Try to find it from the explanation above. If you still hesitate, no worries! You will find the answer by doing the science project. Once you have finished, try to explain your findings by reading the Introduction again. If you still have a hard time explaining the results, do not hesitate to ask your science teacher or contact Science Buddies' Ask an Expert forum for help.
Now, go and explore! Time to spin into action!

Experimental Procedure
Make Your Big, Lightweight Hula Hoop
Start by making the larger size, lightweight hula hoop.
- Cut a piece of tubing of the appropriate length.
- Measure the height from the ground to the middle of your chest in centimeters (cm) — this will be the diameter (or height of the circle) of the biggest hula hoop.
- Calculate the circumference (or distance around the circle) of the hula hoop using following formula:
Circumference = π x diameter
Circumference = 3.14 x diameter
The circumference is the length of tubing you will need to cut to create this hula hoop.
- In your lab notebook, make a data table similar to Table 1 and record the diameter and circumference in it.
- Measure the length (circumference) needed from your roll of polypipe tubing and mark where the tubing should be cut. Using a piece of electrical tape can help mark the spot.
- Ask an adult to cut the tubing at the indicated spot using a sharp knife or a PVC cutter.
|Mass of Added Sand
|Hula 1 (Big, lightweight hula)
|0 g
|Hula 2 (Big, heavy hula)
|Hula 3 (Small, lightweight hula)
|0 g
|Hula 4 (Small, heavy hula)
Table 1. Record the data about the four different hula hoops in this data table.
- Connect the ends of the tubing so they form a circle, to be fastened using a poly insert coupling or wooden dowel.
- If you are using poly insert couplings or a dowel that is a tight fit, you will probably need to first use a hairdryer to warm the tubing ends (one at a time), for about two minutes. Heat will expand the tubing, enabling the connector to slide in easily.
- Once they can fit inside the tubing, put the poly insert coupling or dowel in one end of the tubing (the one you warmed) till the coupling is about halfway inserted.
- Insert the other half of the connector into the remaining free end of tubing. See Figure 1 to help visualize this step.
- Push the tubing together until little (or no) coupling is visible. If you are using poly insert couplings, you may have a small ridge of plastic still visible in the middle.
- Tip: If it is ever difficult to insert the coupling, try warming the tubing more in the area where the coupling appears to be stuck. Warm the tubing for roughly two minutes at a time. You may want to have an adult help you push the coupling inside of the tubing.
Figure 1. This picture shows how to connect the tubing ends to form the hula hoop using a wooden dowel.
- Secure the connection. Put some wide plastic tape over the connection where the two ends of tubing meet, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. This picture shows how the sealing is secured with wide, brown tape.
- Decorate your Hula Hoop with colorful electrical tape any way you like (optional). Examples of decorated hula hoops are shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Finished hula hoops can be decorated (optional) with different colors of electrical tape.
Make Your Big, Heavy Hula Hoop
Now that you know how to make the bigger size hula hoop, make a heavier version of this hoop.
- Cut off a piece of tubing the same length as previous section. (See step 1 of the first section of this Experimental Procedure.)
- Create a funnel that can be used to fill the tubing with sand - skip this step if you have a funnel that fits in the hole of your tubing.
- Cut of a piece of tape (about 5 cm. long) and keep it handy.
- Roll the sheet of thick paper into a cone (like an ice-cream cone), leaving a small hole at the end. The hole should be big enough to leave room for sand to flow trough but small enough to fit inside your tubing. Figure 4 shows what the funnel should look like.
- Fasten the funnel with tape.
Figure 4. Make a funnel from thick paper and tape (blue tape was used to make it visible, but any tape works).
- Measure and determine the mass of one cup of sand.
- Use the scale to weigh the measuring cup alone (in grams [g]) and note the result.
- Scoop up 1 cup (c.) of sand and scrape off any excess sand by pushing the flat side of a dinner knife against the rim of the cup.
- Use the scale to weigh the sand and measuring cup together, and note the result. Is this the mass or the weight of the cup with sand?
- Fill the tubing with sand.
- Have a helper hold one end of the tubing up.
- Hold the tubing over a bucket.
- Using the funnel, pour the sand into the tubing.
- Pick up any spills in the bucket and pour those in the tubing as well.
- Finish this hula hoop by following steps 2–3 of the first section.
- Calculate the actual added weight to the hula.
- Does the reading from the scale in step 3c represent the mass added to the hula hoop? Does the cup holding the sand play a role in the reading? Yes it does! So, can you find a way to obtain the mass of the sand added to the hula with the data you obtained? If you subtracted the mass of the cup (the reading you took in step 3a) from the mass of the cup filled with sand (the reading you took in step 3c), you got it right!
- Note the mass added to the hula hoop in the data table in your lab notebook in the column "Mass of added sand."
Make Your Small, Lightweight Hula Hoop
Make a smaller hula hoop with approximately the same weight as the big, lightweight hula hoop.
- Calculate the length of tubing needed for the smaller hula hoop
- If the diameter of the smaller hula hoop is measured from the ground to your navel, can you find the length of tubing needed? (See step 1 in the first section of this Experimental Procedure, "Make Your Big, Lightweight Hula Hoop," for hints.)
- Create your small hula hoop using the new calculated length (circumference) of tubing.
- Put some thought in how the masses of the two lightweight hula hoops (one big, the other small) compare to each other.
- Would this small hula hoop be equal in mass to the bigger hula hoop? If not — what accounts for the difference?
- Can you calculate how much extra tubing goes in the bigger hula hoop with respect to the smaller hula hoop? Remember: You have noted the circumference of the big and the small hula hoops in your data table.
- Would the extra tubing in the big hula hoop provide the extra mass? If so — is this extra amount of mass large with respect to the total mass of the hula hoop?
- Is it safe to say the two lightweight hula hoops are approximately the same in mass? (Note: You can weigh a small piece (e.g., 10 cm) of tubing and calculate from there how much the hula hoops differ in mass.)
Make Your Small, Heavy Hula Hoop
Make a smaller hula hoop with approximately the same weight as the big, heavy hula hoop.
- Create another small hula hoop as described in the previous section ("Make Your Small, Lightweight Hula Hoop"), this time filling it with one cup of sand, following steps 3 and 4 in the section entitled "Make Your Big, Heavy Hula Hoop."
- If you enjoy a little challenge, put some thought into how the masses of these hula hoops compare.
Without knowing the exact numbers, can you reason which relative mass difference would be bigger — the one for the heavy hula hoops or the one for the lightweight hula hoops?
Use the following formula to calculate the relative mass differences:
Relative Mass Difference = Mass Big Hoop - Mass Small Hoop
Mass Big Hoop
To see which one is bigger, look at how the numerators compare (cross out the symbols that do not fit):
Mass Big Heavy Hoop - Mass Small Heavy Hoop { ⊲
} Mass Big Light Hoop - Mass Small Light Hoop
Now, how do the denominators compare?
Mass Big Heavy Hoop { ⊲
} Mass Big Light Hoop
Knowing this, can you make a conclusion about how the fractions compare?
Mass Big Heavy Hoop - Mass Small Heavy Hoop
Mass Big Heavy Hoop
{ ⊲
} Mass Big Light Hoop - Mass Small Light Hoop
Mass Big Light Hoop
- As you now know, the relative difference is smaller for the heavy hoops than for the lightweight hoops. So can you safely say the two heavy hula hoops are approximately the same in mass?
Test the Performance of the Different Hula Hoops
Time to put the hula hoops to the test! How? One person will hula-hoop and the other will count how many full turns the hula hoop makes around the body during one minute of hula-hooping. You will test all four different types of hula hoops in this way. How do scientists refer to the number of turns per minute? Can you recall it from the introduction? (That is right: It is referred to as "the speed" of the hula.) You will measure the speed of all four hula hoops.
If you need directions on how to hula-hoop, check out the following clip:
This video is an introduction on how to hula hoop.
Before we go into the tests of the hula hoops, we need to introduce some terms. The person who hula-hoops will be referred to as the hooper. The other person will help by counting and watching the timer. This person is referred to as the helper. The helper will count the number of times the hoop goes around the arm or waist. This "number" is called the data . The helper will collect data for all four hula hoops. This set of four numbers will be referred to as a set of data . At the end, we will compare or analyze the obtained data and try to draw conclusions.
Can you predict how the speeds of the different hula hoops (or how fast each hula hoop goes) will compare to one another? Which hula hoop do you expect to be fastest? Which one will be next fastest, and so on?
Ready? Here you go:
- Decide who will be the hooper and who will be the helper. You can switch roles after a set of data has been collected (see step 6).
- Decide whether to take measurements for hooping around the waist or hooping around the arm.
- Give it a quick try. Can the hooper spin the four hula hoops in the chosen way (around the waist or around the arm)?
- Count the number of turns the hooper can turn this hoop around during one minute.
- The helper sets the timer to 1 minute.
- The hooper starts hula hooping.
- The helper starts the timer as soon as the hooper reaches a steady pace.
- The helper counts how many full turns the hoop makes around the body or arm of the hooper.
- The helper stops counting as soon as the timer rings. Time for the hooper to take a break.
- If the hoop falls before the timer rings, repeat with the same hula hoop from step a. If the hooper is still not able to hoop through the full minute with this hula hoop, don't worry — a failed test can provide valuable information as well. Note the observation in your notebook. If hooping one minute with most hula hoops is too difficult for this hooper, collect a set of data for 30 seconds in stead of one minute and/or switch to hooping on another body part.
- In your lab notebook, make a data table like Table 2 and write down the number of turns counted for this hula hoop in your new data table.
- If the hooper did not reach the full minute but instead spun the hoop for 30 seconds, multiply the number of turns they did in 30 seconds by two to get how many turns would have been done in one minute.

|Hula 3 (Small, lightweight hula)
|Hula 4 (Small, heavy hula)
|Table 2. Note the results of the tests in a data table like this.
- Repeat step 3 for a different type of hula hoop.
- Note: The hooper should not change clothes while collecting one set of data. Why? Because, the friction between the hoop and the hooper's clothng may affect the data. Can we compare data collected under different circumstances?
- Repeat this step until all four hula hoops have been tested by this hooper.
- Repeat steps 2–4 to collect a new set of data. You can switch roles at this point, or call in a different person to be the hooper.
- Do you see why you should not switch roles while taking one set of data, but why it is OK to switch when collecting different sets of data? Would you be able to compare the numbers collected within one set if different hoopers were executing the test?
- Repeat step 5 two more times for a total of four sets of data. If you enjoy this testing, go ahead and collect a couple more sets of data. Be sure to keep the same attention and eye for precision.
Analyze the Data
Now that you have all the data, see what it tells you.
- Consolidate the data by calculating the average number of turns measured over the different sets of data collected.
- Add the numbers collected across one row (for example, data sets one through four for the big, lightweight hula hoop) and divide by the number of filled columns in that row. For example, if you recorded 60, 80, 65, and 75 as the number of turns for a given hula hoop in one minute, the average would be (60+80+65+75)/4 = 280/4 = 70 for that hula hoop.
- Write the resulting average in the last column of your data table.
- Analyze the data.
- Can you see a clear difference in the number of turns recorded for the different hula hoops? Is one clearly faster or slower than the others?
- Is there a clear pattern (fastest / slowest) in each set of data taken? (For example, does each data set show Hula 1 to be the fastest and Hula 3 to be the slowest?)
- Draw conclusions or explain your observations if possible.
- Is there a link between the characteristics of the hula hoop (e.g. mass, diameter) and the speed at which it turns?
- If you see a pattern (fastest / slowest), does it match the expectations set before you started the testing?
- Can you explain why you obtained these results? Hint: If you are having trouble explaining this, try re-reading the Introduction in the Background tab.

From Peyton Manning overcoming four neck surgeries to Adrian Peterson's rebound from a shredded knee to Chuck Pagano's fight with leukemia, this has been the Year of the Comeback in the NFL.
A season besmirched by tragedies, replacement officials and a bounty scandal also will go down as one in which some of the game's greats not only regained their old form, but also somehow surpassed it.
There are always feel-good stories about those who overcome long odds and broken bodies to regain at least a sliver of their past glory. This season provided an abundance of them.
When the season started, who could have expected Manning to recapture his MVP play so quickly with a new team? Or for Peterson to come back less than nine months after shredding his left knee. Or for Jamaal Charles to return better than ever after suffering a similar injury.
Then there's Pagano beating the biggest opponent of his life.
A year ago, Manning was in the midst of four neck operations to fix a nerve injury that had caused his right arm to atrophy and had sidelined him for an entire season. Soon, he would say a tearful farewell to Indianapolis, a city he had put back on the NFL map, and hook up with John Elway in Denver.
Peterson's left knee was still swollen after he had shredded it Christmas Eve 2011, an injury similar to the one Charles suffered earlier last season. Yet both would defy medicine and conventional wisdom alike to rebound as better runners than they were before getting hurt.
Pagano's fight started three months ago when it was disclosed he had cancer, forcing the first-year Colts coach to take time off for chemotherapy treatments. He returned to work this week, taking the reins from assistant Bruce Arians, who guided the team to a surprising playoff berth in his absence.
"When I asked for Bruce to take over, I asked for him to kick some you-know-what and to do great. Damn Bruce, you had to go and win nine games?" Pagano said. "Tough act to follow."
If all goes well at practice this week, Pagano will be on the sideline for the regular-season finale against Houston. That's a final tuneup for the AFC wild-card playoffs that nobody saw coming for the Colts so soon after cutting ties with Manning, who switched teams, coaches, cities and colors and didn't miss a beat in 2012.
Despite a new supporting cast and a 36-year-old body he insists continues to confound him, the quintessential quarterback has had one of the best seasons in his storied career. Manning set franchise or NFL records just about every week while completing 68 percent of his passes for 4,355 yards with 34 TDs and just 11 interceptions.
And yet, he insists he's not anything close to what he used to be, that all he can do is maximize what's left in a body that's been slowed by so many surgeons' scalpels, and trips around the sun.
"I know you don't believe me when I say this; I'm still learning about myself physically and what I can do, it's still the truth," Manning said after guiding Denver to its 10th straight win. "I still have things that are harder than they used to be, so [there's] things I have to work on from a rehab standpoint and a strength standpoint. That's just the way it is, and maybe that's the way it's going to be from here on out, I don't know."
Coach John Fox, never one to lobby for awards, suggested this week that Manning deserves a fifth MVP honor for the numbers he's put up, the obstacles he's overcome, the shift of culture he's engineered.
Manning isn't interested in talking about MVPs or comeback awards. He just wants enough wins to get a shot at hoisting another Lombardi Trophy in New Orleans in six weeks.
Peterson, on the other hand, is unabashedly clear in his desire for some recognition after overcoming torn anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee, requiring the kind of reconstructive surgery that usually turns dominant players into ordinary ones.
There's a long, long list of players who had shortened careers because of such injuries. But Peterson returned to the Vikings lineup less than nine months after his operation, and with a league-high 1,898 yards, he's 207 yards shy of Eric Dickerson's single-season record. He can topple it with another big game Sunday when Minnesota faces Green Bay with a playoff berth on the line for the Vikings.
With typical unflinching confidence, Peterson said in a recent interview with The Associated Press he's expecting to win the comeback award.
"I kind of have that in the bag, especially how I've been telling people I'm going to come back stronger and better than ever," he said.

College notes
SC College of Pharmacy granted full accreditation
The South Carolina College of Pharmacy has received full accreditation by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE).
The SCCP was formed when the University of South Carolina and the Medical University of South Carolina integrated their colleges of pharmacy. Its first class, which enrolled in fall 2006, graduated this spring. While the SCCP went through the accreditation process, the legacy colleges of pharmacy at USC and MUSC retained their existing accredited status so all students who enrolled prior to the integration could finish in the program.
USC professor named American Chemical Society fellow
John H. Dawson, chair of the USC department of chemistry and biochemistry, has been named to the 2010 class of American Chemical Society fellows. He is one of 192 distinguished scientists who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in chemistry and made important contributions to ACS, the world's largest scientific society. The 2010 fellows represent academe, industry and government.

PartSelect Number PS11741460
Manufacturer Part Number WP3392519
Manufactured by Whirlpool
This thermal fuse is designed for use in dryers. It is a safety mechanism that stops the flow of electricity to the heating element when a dryer overheats. When this fuse is faulty, your dryer will not start or it will not heat properly. This is a one-time fuse, meaning it cannot be re-set. It must be replaced when there is no longer continuity between the terminals. This replacement part features two 3/16 inch terminals, and is sold individually. It attaches to the blower wheel housing. Blown fuses can be caused by clogged dryer vents. We recommend checking to make sure all of the vents are clear when you perform this repair.
This part works with the following brands: Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Maytag, Amana, Admiral, Magic Chef.
This part works with the following products: Dryer, Washer Dryer Combo.
This part fixes the following symptoms:

This is the third time in the past seven months that my dryer has blown a thermal fuse. The first time I didn't think anything of it but after the third time I think there has to be something wrong. I clean out the lint trap every time… what should I check next?
Hi Alison, although there are a few causes to this issue, the most common one is the exhaust ducting. If there is too much heat trapped inside the ducting it will cause the thermal fuse to open. What you need to find is any air flow problems. Is there breakage or clogging in your duct? Is it too long? The next thing to check would be if the ducting has condensation or water in it, or if there are dryer sheets in the blower wheel. Lastly you can check the drum seal to see if it is malfunctioning. Best of luck!
The dryer died mid cycle and I haven't been able to turn it on since. I just can't figure out what is happening. I already changed the thermal fuse, and it still isn't starting. What should I look for next? And yes it does have power.
Hi Bradley, thanks for getting in touch. If you already replaced your thermal fuse and that has not fixed the problem, check your door switch to see if it is faulty. I hope this helps!
I tried to turn my dryer on today and it wouldn't budge. When I opened the door the lights wouldn't turn on and there aren't any lights on the control panel. It's plugged in and I didn't trip any breakers. Do you think it's the thermal fuse or thermostat?
Hello Justin, thanks for getting in touch. This sounds like it is the thermal fuse WP3392519, but before replacing it you should inspect and test it for visible damage or indication of faultiness. If the thermal fuse is open and not working, your next check should be the exhaust ducting, since it is the most common reason for a thermal fuse to malfunction. Please let us know if you have further questions.
First I unplugged the dryer, then removed the back panel, this exposed most all of the wiring and I could see the heater coils.Not knowing what the problem was I started looking at the coils and could not see any broken parts.So then checked the thermal fuse for continuity I removed the two wires from it with a small pair of needle nose pliers, it was held in place by two screws, once they were removed the fuse came out easily, I checked continuity with a volt meter placing the meter on X1 Ohms and could not get a reading.I replaced with a new one and put it all back together the way I took it apart.Then I plugged it in and it worked first time, I now have warm dry clothes.

Cleaning the lint out of the whole machine took quite a bit of time--it was everywhere. Underneath the lint trap was a collection that ultimately ruined the thermal fuse where it restricted the air flow considerably.Ascertaining the problem was the most time consuming part.The actual repair was quite simple and didn't take but 15-20 minutes.
First removed front and drum to check gas valve and igniter. No gas, no ignition. Checked power to devices; none (check hot line to ground, not to neutral.). Removed back of control panel looking for a relay or something. Found none, but did find a wiring diagram. That is where the site really came in handy. Studied wiring diagram together with the exploded view and pictures of each part to come up with a troubleshooting plan. Took the back off as well as a cover inside. Tested each part with meter, again going to ground and not across the device. Of course, the final device before the gas valve, a one time thermal fuse, was the bad part. At first assumed just a bad part. Later wondered if fuse did it's job and another part was bad. Ordered and installed new thermostat just in case. Put everything together after a complete cleaning and everything is fine so far. Not a particularly hard job because I had the wiring diagram and access to parts select site. Would have been much harder without them. Took a long time because almost the entire dryer had to come apart. But it got a good cleaning because of it and found a couple of bucks in change to help offset the cost. Can't imagine what a service call would have cost.
Repair was very easy. We are in the internet age so I use it all the time to get info on how to repair any thing in the house including cars. This time it was my dryer. I typed up 'Kitchen Aid dryer has not heat'and pressed searched and PartSelect came up. Typed in the model number and looked up the comments on No Heat. They had pretty cool site that shows videos on how to repair this things too. Came to conlclusion that the THERMAL FUSE was the main problem. Ordered it and as well as the Igniter assy just to make sure and as well as save on the shipping just in case. Ordered on Sunday night and the shipped the next day. It arrived on Tuesday. Unfortunately had a little problem on the shipment. Called PartSelect and they are so awesome they shipped me new parts asap at no extra charge. Awesome Awesome! Parts came in Thursday and first installed the Thermal Fuse and BAAAM! problem solved. Did not need the igniter assembly. Now I have an extra part in storage. To replace the Thermal fuse.1. Disconnect Dryer from power outlet. Remove the bolts on the back panel with a 1/4" socket. I used power drill because it is much faster.2. Locate the Thermal Fuse. Disconnect wires and remove the bolt. Slide it up and pull. Install the new one and reconnect the wires. Replace the panel and plug the dryer. That solved my problem. It should solve yours too. The whole process was less than five minutes.
Followed electrical drawing from switch to motor, Thermal fuse was in the line and no power coming through it, removed wire and put together and tested, dryer turned on. Read statements from others at parts select and also bought thermostat because time stopped working last year. Installed both parts and cleaned dryer, works perfect including timer.
I started to repair this and got busy and ended up calling a repair service -- that was the first time. They repaired it for over $200 and said the cause was bad venting. I fixed the vent before using the fixed dryer but it blew again. So I ordered these parts and replaced them myself for a lot of savings. However, the dryer still overheated. Through lots of testing I found the root cause the repairman missed: The heating element had gotten so hot that the assembly holding it warped, hitting the element and shorting it. So a new element is on order. I still needed the parts I ordered here but the overall repair ended up more complicated and expensive. I was disappointed a paid repair person left without further diagnosis. If he had unplugged the vent and checked the heat on the exhaust vent (as I ended up doing) it would have been obvious more than a new thermal fuse/thermistor was necessary. Instead I wasted over $200 on his visit. So my advice is if you're at all handy, repair this yourself. The dryer has a service manual inside the front toe board that walks you through most diagnostics and tests. However, it took a little more than that for me to discover the heating element problem. This was a very dangerous situation that could have easily led to a fire, yet not found by a trained technician!
I first unplugged the electrical plug, then opened up the dryer, front and back. Once I had diagnosed the problem I unscrewed the thermal fuses and thermostat. Marked which color wire went to which connector and continued to replace one wire at a time. Re-attached the mounting screws, verified all wires were connected, plugged in dryer to test heat cycle. Once the dryer worked correctly I vacuumed all lint and covered it up.
When my dryer suddenly stopped functioning, without any prior signs of pending failure, I guessed that it had to be something simple, like a fuse. I did a google search and stumbled across a forum post that described the symptoms (wouldn't turn on), and the poster said that Whirlpool recommends replacing the thermostat whenever the fuse is replaced. The reason for this is that the likely cause of the fuse burning is that the thermostat is no longer properly regulating the temperature range of the heating element. I disconnected the power source, and then I removed the back cover, and both parts were in plain view, so I simply replaced the wires one by one.
I spent nearly an hour trying to self-diagnose the problem before I wised up and found PartSelect.com. After reading just a couple of postings I went back and tested the thermal fuse. It was bad. Other posts suggested I replace the thermostat at the same time, so I ordered both. The parts arrived within three days and the actual repair took less than 10 minutes.
First, I replaced the heating element which was super easy but I still didn't have heat - frustrating! I then ordered the thermal cut-off kit and thermal fuse. I replaced the thermal fuse and still no heat. Then, I took one of the fuses from the kit and replaced that and finally got heat. There was another fuse in this kit that I still don't know where it goes but right now I don't need it. Had I known (by a volt tester) this would have been super easy to fix, but I didn't have one so it was trial and error. I did find out, however, that if the heating element goes it usually takes the fuse with it. The fuse I replaced (that finally gave me heat) was located in the casing just above the element. I hope this helps!
Popped open rear access panel and logged on to website. Performed search for "dryer not heating" and came across helpful tips and ordered all components pertaining to heating system and removed and replaced them. Working better than better and saved myself hundreds of dollars. Highly recommend for those "do it yourselfers"!
After 30 miutes of research on this website I felt confident to investigate the problem. Removal of the back cover is straightforward. Initially I did not appreciate and obstruction of the ductwork exitting the dryer. I bypassed the thermal fuse by removing the wires and temporarily taping them together and heat was restored. Knowing flow was OK exitting the dryer I investigated flow from the lint trap to the blower motor which is where the problem was located. In our case the lint filter was torn allowing many small objects and lint to near completely clog the pathway between the lint trap and the blower motor. It was difficult to appreaciate how obstructed that pathway was without removing the entire channel from the machine which was simple and required removing two screws at the lint trap opening followed by 3-4 screws on the back of the channel. Once removed, it was easy to appreaciate the debris clogging the channel and was easy to clean with a hose and running water. Replacement was a snap. The parts were oredered and sent in a day. I prophylactically replaced thermastats based upon a recommendation from another website. Replacing previous parts with new parts was a snap. Out the door we were up and running for around $100 (including new thermostats). The dryer repair man may go the way of the dinosaur.
After looking at the schematic to see what was in line with the motor, I found the fuse as the first item. I pulled the fuse out and used a multimeter to ohm out the fuse. Upon using the meter I found that the fuse was bad. I typed into Google my part number that was on the fuse and the PartSelect Website came up as one of the choices to pick from. When the part arrived approx. two days later I installed the fuse by first unplugging the dryer and then removing the bottom panel and removing the fuse from the exhaust by using a small 1/4 inch wrench and pulling out the old fuse. I installed the wires on the new fuse and re-installed and put the 1/4 inch screw back in. I started the dryer after plugging it back in and it worked like it should have. Thank you for the part and I have recommended your website to other people already.
actually i found your site before i even looked at the dryer,thats how i knew to check for the thermal fuse.I ordered the part and it was on my door in 36hours,pulled the two wires off the old fuse and installed the new,put the back cover on and it has been working ever since,thanks ( your in my bookmarks)
My 14 year old son did it as I supervised! Pulled the dryer out on a dolly, unpluged the dyer, removed 9 hex head screws to remove the back cover, removed and replaced the thermal fuse, located next to the exhust outlet, set the cover back on, moved the dryer back in with the dolly. I had the thermal fuse over nighted to me for a total price of $35, figured I saved at least $150 on a service call by Whirpool.

BEDMINSTER, N.J. – The University of Pennsylvania women's golf team shot 322 on Sunday, a two-stroke improvement from Saturday, but unfortunately it was not enough as the Quakers took sixth place at the inaugural Pirate Invitational. The 36-hole event, hosted by Seton Hall, was played on the par-72 Trump National Bedminster.
Penn's two-round score of 646 was behind a trio of Ivy League teams that went 1-2-3 in the 17-team tournament. Columbia shot 309 on Sunday and finished at 631 overall, one stroke ahead of Yale (632) and four ahead of Princeton (635). St. John's was fourth place, at 636, while host Seton Hall was fifth at 639 ahead of Penn. Two other Ivy League teams were in the field; Dartmouth took 11th (678), while Brown was tied for 14th (693).
Amanda Chin had a strong day on Sunday for Penn, shooting the team's low round by far, a 73. That put her at 154 for the tournament, which was good for t-5th in the 89-player field. Marissa Kay shot 84 on Sunday and ended up 14th at 159, while Erin Lo's 82 put her at 165 which was tied for 29th. Michelle Lee (83 on Sunday) shot 168 and tied for 41st overall, while Franchesca de la Torre carded 84 on Sunday to finish tied for 50th at 171.
Columbia's Michelle Piyapattra took medalist honors after defeating Anna Kim of St. John's on the second playoff hole. They were five shots ahead of the rest of the field.
Penn is off until April 18, when the Quakers take part in the Roar-EE Invitational hosted by Columbia in Suffern, N.Y.

Bronzell Miller football player, actor, songwriter and father died Saturday morning at his ex-wife's house in West Jordan. He was 42.
Originally from Seattle, Miller played defensive end for the Utes from 1993-94. In 1994 he had 12 sacks and five forced fumbles as Utah finished the season 10-2 and ranked No. 8 in the Coaches Poll.
Miller went on to play in the NFL, NFL Europe and the CFL, and he later appeared in a handful of motion pictures, including "Bringing Down the House" and "Mr. 3000."
He was a great lover of country music and told The Salt Lake Tribune shortly before he died that Canadian musician Scotty Hills agreed to perform songs Miller wrote on an upcoming album.
Miller was father to nine children and one stepson.
Miller was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable cancer of the plasma cells, in 2010.
After chemotherapy, radiation, bone marrow and stem-cell transplants, he was told by a doctor in Wisconsin last month that he needed end-of-life hospice care.
His first wife, Marnie Oliver, took him in and looked after him for the past two weeks at her West Jordan home.
There Miller was visited by a host of family, friends, fans and old teammates, and he even took a trip to the University of Utah's new football facility to meet with his former defensive line coach, Kyle Whittingham.
Earlier this week, after taking steroid medication, his appetite rebounded and he had a surge in energy, Oliver says. But then he became extremely tired. Around 11 a.m. Friday, Miller went into a coma and died at 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
As of Saturday morning, Oliver has raised $11,655 for Millers' costly end-of-life care. Russon Brothers Mortuary has offered to pay for the funeral, but she still must pay for the plot, the vault, flowers and medical expenses.
Miller did not have life insurance. You can donate to Oliver here.
On Tuesday, a viewing will be held from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Southside Church of Christ in West Jordan, with services at noon. Graveside services will be held at Ben Lomond Cemetery in North Ogden. Oliver and Miller allowed The Tribune to visit shortly after his return to Utah, which you can read about here.

DASHCAM VIDEO: North Charleston police help rescue woman from burning car
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
Tuesday authorities released dashcam video of first responders arriving at the scene of a burning vehicle.
The wreck happened yesterday on I-26 eastbound near mile marker 215. Police say 28-year-old Shana Porter's car collided into a tree off of the interstate and caught on fire.
Before all the rescue crews got there someone from a fire suppression company was passing by, heard the call and stopped by to help along with a North Charleston officer who arrived at the scene first. Hoses were pulled across the road to put out the fire quickly and that is what saved the woman's life.
Authorities say Porter was wearing a seat belt but she was taken to MUSC in serious condition.
When North Charleston Police arrived at the scene the vehicle was on fire. They contained the fire using portable extinguishers until firefighters arrived.
Firefighters from North Charleston , St. Andrews, City of Charleston fire departments along with Charleston County EMS, and Charleston County assisted with the extinguishing the fire and rescuing the victim.
South Carolina Highway Patrol are investigating the crash.

Report: Chris Brown to leave rehab for toy drive
Listen to Chris Brown on iHeartRadio
Chris Brown will reportedly leave his residential rehab facility Sunday to take part in a toy drive.
TMZ.com reports that the facility has given the embattled singer the green light to host the "X-Mas Toy Drive" at the Brooklyn Projects clothing store in Los Angeles.
Apparently, the rehab facility believes the event will benefit Chris' anger management treatment. During the toy drive, Chris will meet with fans who donate a gift for an underprivileged child.
Chris Brown was ordered to complete 90-days in rehab for anger management following a charge of misdemeanor assault for an alleged fight in Washington D.C. While confined to the facility, Brown still has to complete court-ordered community service from his 2009 assault on his ex-girlfriend Rihanna.

The Right Path
News & Events
Damon Theodule isn't sure what he wants to do after graduation. But the Taunton High student has a better idea now, after spending time on campus as part of the The Bridge to Employment (BTE) Program.
"I wanted to see what it was about, get the opportunity to work with these people and see what I want to do after high school," he said.
The program is a partnership between Taunton Area School to Career, the DePuy Synthes Companies of Johnson & Johnson, Morton Hospital, Bristol Community College and BSU. The goal is to give students the opportunity to explore many professions and expose them to the options offered through higher education.
The BTE program consists of 45 students in 10th grade at Taunton High School who are enrolled in the academic or standard level classes. Students in these levels have classes that are less rigorous and there is a lack of exposure to the STEM fields. Many of these students are first generation college and unlikely to be engaged in other extracurricular activities.
Through BTE, the selected students are exposed to various careers in the health and STEM industry in hopes of motivating them to pursue higher levels of education. Through academic enrichment activities, career readiness and exploration opportunities, and higher education preparation, these students will be encouraged to build a better future and achieve their full potential.
"I'm here to explore the field of science and get the opportunity to visit BSU," said student Luanthony Vega.
The hoped-for outcomes for the participating Taunton High students include graduation and college readiness, in addition to decreased absenteeism, the taking of the SAT and increased participation in extracurricular activities.
BSU student Brendan Moran, '16, is contributing to the program by lending his experience and knowledge in the science field to the participating students. "As a bio major it gives me experience to teach the students and an opportunity to be involved on campus," he said. (Story and photos by student Caitlin Seddon)

Anger issues are often the sign that an individual has experienced a significant trauma or sense of loss in their life. Often times individuals, especially men, are deemed in need of anger management without much exploration into the underlying causes that may lead an individual to act out of a sense of fear, abandonment, or injustice. If you are an individual experiencing problematic anger in your life, talking to a trauma-informed therapist can help educate and empower a person to find more effective ways to deal with underlying issues that lead to anger.

Kerasote wasn't looking for a dog when he was traveling with friends in southwestern Utah. When a large, panting dog emerged from a grove of cottonwoods and trotted toward their campsite, he wasn't prepared for the deep brown eyes that looked into his own and said, "You need a dog and I'm it." Unable to refuse, he named the the Labrador mix Merle and took him home to Wyoming.
Mindful of the freedom he suspects that Merle has enjoyed, Kerasote installs a dog door in his house, allowing Merle to come and go as he pleases, rather than making him a prisoner of his schedule. As the days, seasons, and years pass, Kerasote grows to believe that allowing Merle such liberty to make his own decisions provides a window into the dog's innate intelligence and curiosity -- which Kerasote begins to see as compromised when we constrain animals to live on our terms. Time and again, Merle proves that altering this dynamic is not about control but about trust.
Touching, sad, humorous, and heartfelt, Merle's Door challenges readers to rethink old attitudes and advocates a change in the attitude that has us continually seeking to "train" our pets. An unforgettable look at the enigmatic terrain of our most cherished companions, Merle's Door is a tribute not just to Kerasote's own faithful friend but to dogs everywhere. (Fall 2007 Selection)

This results in an error message and truncated input or output. * Fri Sep 03 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - builtin "man2html"generates html manual with a timestamp that causes the package to be published over and over again. * Mon Aug 16 2010 email@example.com - A modified version of the pipe patch which should handle the PIPESTATUS array * Fri Aug 13 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Disable the pipe patch from Thu Jun 24 10:40:09 CEST 2010 as this resets the PIPESTATUS array to the status of the forground process only * Thu Jul 29 2010 email@example.com - Add fix from mailing list to avoid crash * Mon Jul 19 2010 email@example.com - Comment out recommendation of bash-completion, as I'd like no to see the bugs of bash-completion in my bugzilla * Sat Jul 17 2010 email@example.com - Do not package static libraries - Fix Recommends/Suggests * Thu Jun 24 2010 email@example.com - Add fix from upstream: restore the parser state over changing readline editing mode otherwise e.g. set alias before the change are lost. * Thu Jun 24 2010 email@example.com - Avoid running the last member of a pipe command sequence to run in its own subshell, this makes know lines like the simple echo 1 2 | read a b; echo $a $b work as expected by the users * Tue May 25 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update bash 4.1 to patch level 7 * Bash did not correctly print/reproduce here documents attached to commands inside compound commands such as for and while. * A typo caused bash to not honor a precision specification in a printf format. * Mon Apr 12 2010 email@example.com - Add fix for memory double free in array handling * Tue Apr 06 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update bash 4.1 to patch level 5 (related to bnc#522351) * If command completion is attempted on a word with a quoted globbing character (e.g., `*' or `?'), bash can reference a NULL pointer and dump core. * When running in Posix mode and executing a shell function without local variables, bash will not propagate a variable in a special builtin's temporary environment to have global scope. * When the `read' builtin times out after the timeout specified with -t is exceeded, it does not reset the flags that tell signal handlers to process signals immediately instead of deferring their handling. This can result in unsafe functions being called from signal handlers, which can cause bash to hang or dump core. * Tue Mar 09 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add patch from bash-bug list to avoid crahs on some strange TAB completions * Mon Mar 01 2010 firstname.lastname@example.com - fix warning no return statement in function returning non-void to fix build (in bashline.c) * Wed Feb 24 2010 email@example.com - Avoid hang due malloc()/free() within signal handler (bnc#522351) * Thu Feb 18 2010 email@example.com - Add patch to reflect the usage of /etc/bash.bashrc (bnc#577221) * Mon Feb 15 2010 email@example.com - Update bash 4.1 to patch level 2 * Here-documents within $(...) command substitutions may once more be delimited by the closing right paren, instead of requiring a newline. * Bash's file status checks (executable, readable, etc.) now take file system ACLs into account on file systems that support them. * Bash now passes environment variables with names that are not valid shell variable names through into the environment passed to child processes. * The `execute-unix-command' readline function now attempts to clear and reuse the current line rather than move to a new one after the command executes. * `printf -v' can now assign values to array indices. * New `complete -E' and `compopt -E' options that work on the "empty" completion: completion attempted on an empty command line. * New complete/compgen/compopt -D option to define a `default' completion: a completion to be invoked on command for which no completion has been defined. If this function returns 124, programmable completion is attempted again, allowing a user to dynamically build a set of completions as completion is attempted by having the default completion function install individual completion functions each time it is invoked. * When displaying associative arrays, subscripts are now quoted. * Changes to dabbrev-expand to make it more `emacs-like': no space appended after matches, completions are not sorted, and most recent history entries are presented first. * The [[ and (( commands are now subject to the setting of `set -e' and the ERR trap. * The source/. builtin now removes NUL bytes from the file before attempting to parse commands. * There is a new configuration option (in config-top.h) that forces bash to forward all history entries to syslog. * A new variable $BASHOPTS to export shell options settable using `shopt' to child processes. * There is a new confgure option that forces the extglob option to be enabled by default. * New variable $BASH_XTRACEFD; when set to an integer bash will write xtrace output to that file descriptor. * If the optional left-hand-side of a redirection is of the form {var}, the shell assigns the file descriptor used to $var or uses $var as the file descriptor to move or close, depending on the redirection operator. * The < and > operators to the [[ conditional command now do string comparison according to the current locale if the compatibility level is greater than 40. * Programmable completion now uses the completion for `b' instead of `a' when completion is attempted on a line like: a $(b c. * Force extglob on temporarily when parsing the pattern argument to the == and != operators to the [[ command, for compatibility. * Changed the behavior of interrupting the wait builtin when a SIGCHLD is received and a trap on SIGCHLD is set to be Posix-mode only. * The read builtin has a new `-N nchars' option, which reads exactly NCHARS characters, ignoring delimiters like newline. * The mapfile/readarray builtin no longer stores the commands it invokes via callbacks in the history list. * There is a new `compat40' shopt option. - Update readline 6.1 to patch level 1 * New bindable function: menu-complete-backward. * In the vi insertion keymap, C-n is now bound to menu-complete by default, and C-p to menu-complete-backward. * When in vi command mode, repeatedly hitting ESC now does nothing, even when ESC introduces a bound key sequence. This is closer to how historical vi behaves. * New bindable function: skip-csi-sequence. Can be used as a default to consume key sequences generated by keys like Home and End without having to bind all keys. * New application-settable function: rl_filename_rewrite_hook. Can be used to rewite or modify filenames read from the file system before they are compared to the word to be completed. * New bindable variable: skip-completed-text, active when completing in the middle of a word. If enabled, it means that characters in the completion that match characters in the remainder of the word are "skipped" rather than inserted into the line. * The pre-readline-6.0 version of menu completion is available as "old-menu-complete" for users who do not like the readline-6.0 version. * New bindable variable: echo-control-characters. If enabled, and the tty ECHOCTL bit is set, controls the echoing of characters corresponding to keyboard-generated signals. * New bindable variable: enable-meta-key. Controls whether or not readline sends the smm/rmm sequences if the terminal indicates it has a meta key that enables eight-bit characters. * Wed Dec 16 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - package documentation as noarch * Sat Dec 12 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - add baselibs.conf as a source * Fri Dec 04 2009 email@example.com - Fix bug in bash-4.0-security.patch (bnc#559877) * Thu Oct 29 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to newest patch level 35 * bash incorrectly interprets wildcarded path components between a **/ and the last / * bash incorrectly treated single and double quotes as delimiters rather than introducing quoted strings when splitting the line into words for programmable completion functions * Wed Sep 30 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Make _rl_enable_meta configurable by the users (bnc#541379) * Wed Sep 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Do not change tty owner group twice by child and parent (bnc#523667) * Wed Sep 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to newest patch level 33 * Includes one of our own patches * Wed Aug 26 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - rediff patches to avoid fuzz * Tue Jul 28 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Update to newest patch level 28 * Thu Jul 02 2009 email@example.com - Add fix from bash maintainer for closing memory leak in read builtin (bnc#510288) * Tue Jun 09 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Branch off some sub packages: * bash-lang to include localization * bash-loadables for installing the loadable runtime builtins * bash-devel to install headers for developing loadable builtins * Wed Jun 03 2009 email@example.com - Enforce the usage of euidaccess(3) instead of stat(2) for testing permissions for a file (bnc#509105) * Mon May 25 2009 email@example.com - Update to newest patch level 24: * include last few patches - Add patches from mailing list for globstar expansion * Mon May 11 2009 email@example.com - Increase size of hash table for runtime linker a lot * Mon Apr 27 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add patches from mailing list: * fix problem with invisible characters in prompt * make dir*/** work * Tue Apr 21 2009 email@example.com - Do not crash on forbidden subdirectories with globstar extension * Wed Apr 15 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add fix to be able to clear to eol in readline library * Tue Apr 14 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add fix for timing issue in readline SIGWINCH handling * Wed Apr 08 2009 email@example.com - Add patches from email@example.com to avoid eg. segmentation fault * Mon Mar 16 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add patches from firstname.lastname@example.com to avoid eg. segmentation fault * Thu Mar 12 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Add patch from email@example.com to enable |& not only for builtins and shell functions but for all commands. * Tue Mar 10 2009 email@example.com - Switch to official patches, now we are on patch level 10 * Wed Mar 04 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Use patches from email@example.com to make it work * Wed Mar 04 2009 firstname.lastname@example.com - Patch for bnc#481817 does not work in any case * Wed Mar 04 2009 email@example.com - My last patch for bnc#470548 send to firstname.lastname@example.com was not fully applied and this had caused a memory corruption on tab completion. - Enable the parser to find closing parenthesis at the end of an argument of a command even if backslash is used (bnc#481817) - Correct link of shared libraries of devel readline package

Helping Labour to Start Naturally
Here on the Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond forum we often help to support mums who are 'overdue'. You may find it useful to bear in mind that your due date is an estimation based on the fact that an average pregnancy lasts 40 weeks. However, we are all unique and so are our babies. Babies do not come according to schedules, calendars or average calculations! Babies come when they are ready.
When a baby is ready to be born there are a few things you can try to 'tip you over the edge' into labour. Doing these things before a baby is really ready to come won't start labour. These are some suggestions for those who are on the verge of being in labour.
- Talk a long walk. You could even spend time visualising the birth or thinking about meeting your baby for the first time on your walk. Exercise, and keeping active, often helps to tip someone gently into labour. Being upright and moving around can also help your baby to get into a good position for the birth.
- Make love. This can help to release Oxytocon; that feel good hormone which is so important in labour. Nipple stimulation has been found to help to bring on contractions if your labour stalls when you are in early labour.
- Eat a hot curry. The spicy food may help to start off those contractions.
- Relax, switch off and take some time out. Someones a woman can be so busy preparing for her new baby, or looking after her older children, that it is not until she stops what she is doing and starts to relax and 'let go' that contractions can really get started.
- Some women testify to the use of aromatherapy and accupuncture in helping to start their labour.
Is there anything you did which you feel helped to tip you over into labour.
If none of these work then relax, your baby probably just isn't quite ready to make an appearance yet and baby knows best. You will still be meeting your baby very soon.

Making love was probably the biggest help for me. The semen acts as a prostaglandin on the cervix, and helps it to soften and ripen, which can bring on contractions, especially if your body just needs an extra nudge to start labour.
Something else that helped with one of my babies was acupuncture on the ankle. That started contractions with my 4th baby.
Here's a video showing you the acupuncture/acupressure points on the leg to help start labour in women who are post date (after their due date).

This is interesting - thanks Kate. I know a couple of other ladies who also testify to acupuncture nudging them into labour.

Warm Up Your Home with Color and Texture During Cold Winter Months
If you're going to cuddle, don't you want your home to feel comfy and cozy?
-Michael Craig, dinette.com
Cold weather is cuddle weather–whether you're alone on the couch watching TV, or snuggling with your loved one, nothing warms up your couch like a new throw. Make sure it's soft and snuggly to keep toes toasty on cold nights.
Add warm color to your interior, such as a warm red or hunter green. These colors will breath new life into your space and perk up your mood. Match your new throw with fun throw pillows that complement the warmer color scheme.
Light always warms up any space. Add some snazzy, new lamps to brighten up any dull or dark areas.
There is no better way to add some life to the cold dreariness of winter than by adding a plant. Not only will it provide warmth but you'll also get the added bonus of clean oxygen produced by your new green friend–genius!!
Read How to Decorate to Beat the Winter Blues
Like a hot cup of coffee warms you up from the inside, furniture in warm wood tones and finishes such Cappuccino can heat up a kitchen or breakfast nook. Add microfiber or fabric covered cushions to create a barrier between your warm body and cold seats.
Finally, an inexpensive and practical way to warm up your space is to cover up your wood and tile floors with rugs and runners. Not only will you liven up the space – your feet will be thankful on those cold winter mornings!
Here's to warming up your winter!

SSD / Flash
Flash Options for All Conditions
Adopting flash as a storage medium is attractive for many reasons. Performance, density of performance, storage density, as well power and cooling savings can all be factors in choosing flash over spinning disk. For customers that will derive substantial benefit to their application from flash storage, there are cases where even the most expensive High performance Enterprise Class SSD will make economic sense from a density or $/IOPs perspective.
SSDs and Write Endurance
Write Endurance is defined as how much data can be written to the SSD over its lifetime. There are three parameters that affect write endurance of flash memory-based SSDs:
Write Amplification is expressed as a ratio:
Factors that affect write amplification are:
Sample endurance calculation:
In the list of SSDs in this document, endurance is specified assuming random 4K or 8K writes using the entire capacity of the drive. The writes are assumed to be aligned to either 4K or 8K. Where 4K endurance is provided, the 8K endurance will be very slightly higher. Where 8K endurance is given, 4K endurance will typically be between 50-75% of the 8K endurance, because the SSD is optimized for 8K and larger.
When partitions are not aligned, or I/O sizes are not a multiple of the specified size, endurance will be lower than specified. When extra over provisioning is used, writes are sequential, or the drive successfully compresses data, endurance will be higher - often much higher.
Endurance numbers for SSDs that feature compression are provided for the case where incompressible data is written (i.e. worst case). If such a drive is used in an environment where compression is successful (i.e. Boot/Root disk), then endurance can be much greater - as much as 5-10 times greater.

SAN BERNARDINO - Many described him as the "hardest working attorney" they had ever known.
He was a legend in redevelopment law, they said, and he astounded others in his total recall of events that happened many years ago.
Timothy J. Sabo, who was the legal architect for the redevelopment of the former Norton Air Force Base, died Wednesday after a lengthy battle with cancer.
He was 65.
He was a brilliant lawyer, said Redlands Attorney John Mirau. He started out as a bond counsel. But he was also an expert in redevelopment, Mirau said.
"He had been a key legal advisor to the city of San Bernardino long before the closing of the base," said Mirau, who knew Sabo for 25 years both as an opposing counsel and a co-counsel.
"He was key to negotiations with the Air Force and in additional to legal knowledge, was very savvy about how to get things done," Mirau said.
San Bernardino Mayor Pat Morris also praised Sabo for his leadership.
"He led us through the twists and turns of the development of the airport," Morris said.
The resulting logistics center that is there "is a tribute to his drafting talents as a lawyer ... . His passing saddens me deeply," Morris said. "This is a great loss to the community, the city and the Inland Valley Development Agency."
Sabo could recall circumstances and events that go back decades, Morris said.
He kept to himself about his fight with cancer, Morris said. In the final days, he continued his legal work from the hospital bed "like he was in his legal chair."
Don Rogers, longtime head of the IVDA and the airport, said that Sabo's skill resulted in the contract making Hillwood the master developer for a large portion of the former Norton Air Force Base.
That skill also helped bring the Stater Bros. distribution facility, the Kohl's facilities, Mattel and other large company's to the former Norton campus.
"He had a good sense of humor and was pleasant to work with as a co-counsel or on the other side," Mirau said.
Both Morris and Mirau noted that Sabo was tremendously responsive to his client's needs and if called with an emergency late Friday, would work throughout the weekend to produce the legal solution.
Sabo, a Thousand Oaks resident, is survived by his wife, Judith Ann, and their children, Aaron, Alexis, Mitchell and Meghan.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Sabo's memory be sent to the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal, 1661 Haight Ave., Bronx, NY 10461, Attention: Sister Francesca.
Reach Jim via email, call him at 909-386-3855, or find him on Twitter @JSteinbergsRoad.


text: A major in psychology attracts students who are interested in gaining a better understanding of themselves, in learning to relate to other people well, and, ultimately, in helping society and other individuals. Naturally, a great deal of introspection is required. You will be encouraged to develop self-understanding and to examine your family life and its effects on you. You will be asked to consider honestly your intellectual ability and level of motivation as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses. In addition, you'll study the interaction between psychology and faith, learning how each impacts the other. You'll learn to think critically and creatively in discovering how the scientific aspect of psychology can be employed in developing and managing interpersonal relations and in addressing society's problems. Most states require some type of licensure or certification for psychologists, so we encourage our students to attend graduate school. But for those who don't, many positions are available in a wide variety of settings where helping others is the priority. To find out more about the Department of Psychology at Campbell University, please contact one of our faculty by following the link at the left.

Let's face it: we have a science literacy problem in the United States. Significant percentages of our population don't know what a genome is, what tectonic plates do, or what a double-blind study accomplishes. Worse, very large chunks of the population actively reject basic scientific claims about our evolutionary origins and our effects on the climate. So why do famous, influential, charismatic scientists – most recently, Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker in the New Republic – insist on selling science to the public by trashing religion? Has it never occurred to them that they might be actively hindering the goal of making science appeal to laypeople? [Read more…]

Video Transcript
Ken: Hi, I'm Ken.
JR: And I'm JR, and we're here in the Crutchfield video studio to talk about Polk Audio's db series of car speakers.
Ken: Polk makes a lot of speakers for home and car, but the db series is one of our most popular car lines.
JR: Yeah, and db stands for "dynamic balance." Polk uses laser imaging to achieve a balanced woofer cone so the bass sounds nice and clear and smooth.
Ken: The design of the woofer eliminates vibrations, what we call resonance, and that can distort the sound. Dynamic balance cleans it up.
JR: Yeah, kind of like if you were to replace your tire on your car, you would have your wheel balanced so it rolls smoothly down the road.
Ken: Right. Speaking of smooth, I like the tweeter on this. It's a silk polymer composite. Gives you a nice, smooth, detailed sound. It also has a magnetic fluid around it which dissipates heat, keeps the sound clear and detailed even when the volume's cranked.
JR: Polk really wants to make sure their speakers fit most vehicles on the road and they do. One of the only five inch speakers, for example, is made by Polk.
Ken: Here's a nice bonus about the db series. They're certified for marine use.
JR: Nice.
Ken: So if you're thinking about putting some speakers into your boat, you've got something that's gonna work for you here.
JR: Or if you have a Jeep or a motorcycle, for example, where your speakers are going to be exposed to the elements, these speakers will last just fine there as well. To find out which Polk db speakers will fit your vehicle, check out crutchfield.com/whatfits
Ken: Or give one of our expert advisors a call. You can get them at 1-800-555-9408.
