Question about Whirlpool Duet GHW9150P Front Load Washer
I have a Whirlpool GHW9150PW0 that is not fully draining the water out as clothes are still soaking wet when finished. Is this a common problem and can I fix it at home with a little knowledge. Thanks in advance for any help.
Posted by Ricky Martin on
Sure, might be as somple as your using hte wrong soap. you MUST use an HE detergent. regular detergent creates too much suds for these smachines and result in the control panel displaying "sud", or innadequate drain issues. if you are using hte correct soap then next thing to check would be the pump hosing for debris blocking pump assy.
1. remove the lower acess panel with (3) torx 20 screws
2. the pump is located right in front you see ascrew type handle on fron of housing
3. unscrew the handle and clean debris from housing nad return the cover. check for spin now
4. if water remains in the tub after drain/spin, ther will be water in hte machine, so try tipping machine back, using hose pinch off pliers, or what i do is open a white trash bag in front of pump assy, so when i open the bag catched it all

Dutch WWII memorial day to feature Palestinian 'shadow Holocaust' event
A Dutch Muslim group is planning to commemorate "the ethnic cleansing of Palestine" on Holland's memorial day for victims of Nazism.
The Platform Bewust Muslim group is planning to hold the ceremony on Sunday at a mosque in Hilversum, near Amsterdam, under the banner "Palestine, the Shadow Holocaust," the Jewish television channel Joods Omroep reported Monday on its website.
The event was advertised as a symposium offering "a review of the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the passive attitude of the international community."

* Prices may differ from that shown
In the 70's I think pretty well every household had a labelling machine - they were basic back then; sticky plastic tape which was embossed letter by letter by painstakingly turning a wheel. Things have moved on since then as I found out whilst trying to find something to label all those varied items like lunch boxes and files that populate every home, and which are prone to getting lost. After a bit of research I bought this hand held thermo printer which has turned out to be something I now wouldn't want to be without. I paid just under £18 for the printer from Rymans where it is currently available for £19.99 - I paid a lower price due to a discount for those in education, I've seen it available on offer in Staples for a similar price and it can also be purchased on line where prices seem to be up to £39.99.
The Printer came in a bubble pack and included the printer, one cartridge for black on white labels, full instructions and a 3 year guarantee. The six AAA batteries you will need to operate the unit are not included.
The Brother P-touch 1090 is part of a range of hand held printers and takes TZ tape (as opposed to some of the other tape formats brother make) in cartridge form, and can be used to produce sticky labels from 3.5mm to 12.5mm wide in Helsinki font and with a range of effects and images. It's a monochrome printer, but there are a variety of tapes available in paper, laminated and fabric finishes so that you can produce a range of colours from black on white through to red on clear tape, full range at the link at the bottom of this review. Being a thermo printer (ie it works by melting part of the coating of the ribbon), there are no actual ink costs for the printer, but the tapes will set you back anything from £5- £19 for 8m depending on which format you buy. Having checked it works out as similar in price, like for like, to the competitor's product - the Dymo labeller cartridges which come in 4m format. Whilst the cartridges are expensive actually in my experience 8 metres goes quite a long day for everyday use.
Set up:
Once out of the box, the printer is relatively easy to set up. The back clips off and you need to insert the batteries and the cartridge, which is simple to do, and once you have done this and found "feed" on the menu which threads the tape through the printer head, you are ready to print.
I've got to be honest and say that the instructions (which come in double A3 sized form in teeny font) on how to use the printer are pretty bewildering and take some time to get used to. Whilst it is entirely possible to use the A-Z keyboard straight away and then press the very obvious print button on the top right of the keyboard, doing so will not see you get very varied results or prove to be efficient use of the tape itself. The reviews I read on amazon prior to purchase are full of complaints about the labels having too much tape at either end of them, and whilst this is true if you don't decipher the instructions completely, it is avoidable by becoming more familiar with the rather un-intuitive instructions and controls. In my opinion if you buy this device it is worth taking time to figure out how everything works but you should also remember that this is a low priced item and accept that it has its limitations.
The printer itself:
As well as having an integrated A-Z keyboard the P-touch also has a 12 character LCD display. To some extent this allows you to have some idea as to what your finished label will look like, character wise, however it doesn't show you how any added simple graphics or borders appear. The printer is quite light to hold, it's 365g, and sits comfortably in your hand being a compact 10.7 cm x 20.1 cm x 5.7 cm. The top right includes an integrated cutter for cutting off your printed labels. It's quite a simple machine as you would expect at this price, though you can also purchase an adaptor for it which plugs into the bottom if you wish to save on batteries. It's actually surprisingly well built considering how much it costs and all the buttons have a chunky rubber finish and are not too small to be impractical in use.
The Labels you can Produce;
The P-touch will produce a variety of colours and widths of labels. Thus far I've only used 12mm labels in 3 finishes, laminated, iron on fabric and paper. It's easy to see which I have in the machine at any one time by looking through the display window in the rear of the machine, and also to swap between cartridges. After some time fiddling with the controls and getting annoyed by the instructions I've worked out how to use all the functions. Through the simple menu and using the lcd display you can insert over 80 little mini graphics to your label to personalise them from a phone, through to skull and cross bones or cutesy animals. Different languages and accents are also supported and there are also 13 different text effects. It's not particularly straight forward and is annoying at times to anyone used to using a PC, and some options you are never going to use in all honesty; I personally haven't found the need to print off the time onto the end of my labels but I do use the graphics quite extensively.
You can save up to 9 label designs at any one time, which is handy when you have a ridiculously long surname as we do - it's not difficult as such to input letters but a little slow given that it's not a qwerty key board and the menus on the printer are cumbersome. Talking of which, I mentioned earlier that if you don't explore or the menus you will find yourself wasting tape. I've found that I maximise what I can get out of the strip by selecting the option to print multiple copies. If I do this and select "narrow" for margins then there is very little waste rather than the couple of centimetres either side of the writing other reviewers complained of when I did my research, it takes a while of getting used to the labeller to work this out however.
I find it slightly easier to switch between size of letters and to make the font italic or bold. By adding borders, pictures and changing effect there is quite a range to what you can produce even though there is only one font. You can produce up to lines of text with the printer, but not more, so if you want to produce, say address labels, you will need a more sophisticated machine. This printer is great though for producing small name tags and putting your stamp on smaller items.
Finished Results:
When I print out my labels, a pretty silent and quick affair - the printer spits out the labels at a respectable rate (up to 10mm per second according to the manufacturer). The print on the labels is clear whatever combination you are working at, it's billed as 180 dpi (ie dots per inch)- which meant nothing to me but having checked with someone more informed than me, 300 or so would be an average for a inkjet printer, so this is rather low-specced on the face of it. It is true however that given that the purpose of this printer is to print off recognisable letters and not detailed photos (the graphics you can do are basic pictographs) I don't personally think the image quality is substandard and the results look professional enough to me. The letters are fairly crisp looking and easy to read whatever the font size. Once made your labels can be stored until you need them - there is a backing on the label which you take off when you want to stick the label onto something, and the fabric ones iron on.
The labels themselves once printed and in place do seem to be very durable. The adhesive ones stick well onto different surfaces and I've found that they do not come unstuck in the dishwasher or fall of lunch boxes, and the fabric ones are of similar grip to commercial ones I've bought before. Brother, the manufacturer say their labels are made to survive "heavy abrasion, heat, cold,sunshine, water and chemicals" - in my experience they pass the kid test and whilst I haven't tested them for the full range Brother apparently have of -80c-150degrees C, the labels I have printed have variously survived the freezer, being in sunlight and there are no noticeable effects. The laminated labels seem very robust.
Languish in the Kitchen Drawer or Actually Use?
I was a bit worried when I bought this that it would be one of those objects where the novelty would wear off and it would be left in the drawer. In actual fact I've found this item very useful. We did go into a bit of a label frenzy when we bought it and labelled all kind of things like plugs, water bottles and food storage containers. It's great for labelling kids' shoes for schools and their varied possessions that always go astray at school. Whilst I don't use it on a daily basis it's very handy to have and much used. The screen could be a little better, it would be nice if it were "wysiwyg" (what you see is what you get) and the menus could be much better in terms of layout, however ultimately this is an entry level printer and good enough for my purposes. It's not too power hungry on batteries, and now that I've worked out how to print with it economically I find the labels fair value, given that they seem to be a quality item.
Overall I recommend this printer, particularly if you can pick it up for £20 or so, it's an extremely useful thing to own, and on that basis I recommend it.
Full range of TZ tape: http://www.brothersupplies.co.uk/g3.cfm/s_page/182990/s_name/tapelist
A little like a hefty calculator in appearance, if you are looking to create labels that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use this model may be ideal for your requirements. It is equipped with a great array of features and options to create labels that are stylish and durable.
The Brother P-Touch 1090 comes in at 0.7 cm x 20.1 cm x 5.7 cm and weighs 365g. A good deal of the weight comes from the six AAA alkaline batteries that are required to power it, and unfortunately I discovered that despite there being an army of them, these batteries do not last as long as I would have liked. Battery life depends on a number of factors in this instance however; the features you use on the machine, how extensively you make use of its memory capacity, storage of the device and how often you use it. The memory feature is particularly useful, being as you can store up to nine different label designs at once, but you will probably find that calling up these designs fairly frequently will impinge on the battery life.
Aesthetically the P-Touch 1090 has a black plastic 'face' with white plastic casing down the sides. The LCD screen is of adequate size and the keyboard is ABCD type instead of the QWERTY type I would prefer. This takes some getting use to, but the keys are not so small you are prone to making too many errors, so this goes some way to compensate for the keyboard's layout. The features dial in silver is central to the device, and you can easily navigate this. You can choose to delete text and move backwards and forwards through it.
The only font available is Helsinki, but unless you are uber conscious of style in your label experimentation, the limited options will not be too problematic. You can, however, experiment with many different effects and styles. These include: Bold, italic bold, italic outline, italic shadow, normal, vertical, outline, shadow and italic. As the labels are laminated they are ideal for outdoor use too, and will adhere well to many surfaces, particularly glass and plastic. With a print speed of around 10mm per second you can churn them out fairly rapidly, too.
As well as the device itself the package comes with a thermal transfer roll and b-PAC SDK label printing software. This allows you to combine images, symbols, barcodes and logos into your designs, and the user is prompted at every step during this process.
I was very surprised by the array of features available on this model. For a product priced at just under £30 it is very versatile indeed. Some of the more advanced options take a bit of practice to achieve and you may find that you waste some tape at the beginning, but once you adjust to the design of the machine you will soon find that you can create tasteful labels with very little effort.

Myths and Legends of All Nations Famous Stories from the Greek, German, English, Spanish, Scandinavian, Danish, French, Russian, Bohemian, Italian and other sources
Page: 117But Wayland had no intention of making the arrows, for the king had treated him unjustly and cruelly, and he saw the opportunity for revenge. With his mighty hammer he struck the two children on the head and killed them. Then he threw their bodies into a cave adjoining the smithy.
When the children did not return the castle messengers were sent out to find them. They inquired at the smithy.
[Pg 232] "The boys have gone," said Wayland. "I made arrows for them, and no doubt they have gone into the woods to shoot birds."
Returning to the castle the messengers saw the footprints in the snow, and since they pointed toward home, decided that the children must have gone back. But they were not there. Then Nidung sent his servants far and wide throughout the country, and when the boys were nowhere to be found, he concluded that they must have been devoured by wild animals.
When all the searches were over, Wayland brought forth the bodies of the two children, stripped the bones of flesh, whitened them, and made them into goblets and vessels for the king's table, mounting them with silver and gold. The king was delighted with them, and had them placed upon his board whenever there were guests of honor present.
A long time later, Badhild, the king's daughter, while playing with her companions in the garden one day, broke a costly ring that Nidung had given her. She was greatly vexed and feared to tell her father.
"Why not take it to Wayland to mend?" suggested one of her trusted maidens.
So Badhild gave the trinket to the girl and bade her take it to Wayland. She brought it back with her.
"Without the command of the king he will not mend it," she said, "unless the king's daughter herself will come to him."
Badhild set out immediately for the smithy. There Wayland substituted for her ring his own, which had the curious magic power of making its wearer fall in love with the smith.
The smith slipped the jewel on her finger, gazed into her eyes and said, "This ring you shall keep as well as your own, if you will be my bride."
[Pg 233] The maiden could not refuse, and so the two were married, agreeing to keep their union a secret.
About this time Eigil, the brother of Wayland, came to the court of Nidung. He was a celebrated man and the most skilful master of the bow to be found anywhere in the world. The king welcomed him, and he remained a long time at the court. One day Nidung proposed that, since he was such a skilful bowman, he should try shooting an apple from the head of his own son. Eigil agreed.
"You may have only one trial," the king said.
So an apple was placed on the head of Eigil's three-year-old son, and Eigil, taking his bow, aimed, and with the first arrow struck the apple in the center, so that it fell from the child's head.

Opening dramatically with the horrors of the 2005 London bombings, this is the profoundly moving story of a country on the brink of civil war and a child's struggle to come to terms with loss.
London. On a bright July morning a series of bombs bring the capital to a halt. Simon Swann, a medic from one of the large teaching hospitals, is searching frantically amongst the chaos and the rubble. All around police sirens and ambulances are screaming, but Simon does not hear.
He is out of breath because he has been running, and he is distraught. But who is he looking for?
To find out we have first to go back 30 years to a small island in the Indian Ocean where a little girl named Alice Fonseka is learning to ride a bicycle on the beach. The island is Sri Lanka, with its community on the brink of civil war. Alice's life is about to change forever. Soon she will have to leave for England, abandoning her beloved grandfather, and accompanied by her mother Sita, a woman broken by a series of terrible events. In London, Alice grows into womanhood.
Trapped in a loveless marriage, she has a son. Slowly she fulfils her grandfather's prophecy and becomes an artist. Eventually she finds true love. But London in the twenty first century is a mass of migration and suspicion. The war on terror has begun and everyone, even Simon Swann, middle class, rational, medic that he is, will be caught up in this war in the most unexpected and terrible way.
©2010 Roma Tearne (P)2010 BBC Audiobooks Ltd
"Prose so lush it appeals to every sense, the pages are suffused with the scents and tastes, ring with the sounds of Sri Lanka and South London… Roma Tearne is an exquisite writer and captivating storyteller, such that the reader is endlessly torn between the desire to linger and the urge to turn the page to see where she will take us next." (Aminatta Forna)
"Tearne brings her skills as a painter to her writing, creating some extraordinarily lovely portraits of Sri Lankan land and seascapes, a stunning backdrop to the changing horrors of the country's 20-year civil war. Anyone who has visited, or has a passing interest in Sri Lanka, should read this beautiful novel." (Sunday Telegraph)
"Splendid naration"
If my friend asked me to recommend a sad book, I would most definitely recommend Brixton Beach.
I liked listening to the history of Ceylon.
Brilliant, Clear and Warm
Only if the film would be made with a happy ending ;-)
This story was fascinating but sad.
"Inescapable carnage"
Didn't enjoy this book anywhere near as much as 'The Swimmer'. However, it was stylishly written and the characters were believable. Loved the contrast between the beauty of Sri Lanka and the dreary portrayal of 70's London
"A great author and well read."
I listened to the Audible version of this book, beautifully read by Charlotte Stevens. I wonder if I would have enjoyed it less if I had read the hard copy.
The story is basically that of Alice Fonseca who is 9 years old when we meet her at the start of the book. She is living in Sri Lanka with her parents; a Singhalese mother and a Tamil father. Unfortunately this cross cultural marriage causes problems as Sri Lanka heads towards civil war in 1983. The problems are poiniantly illustrated by the loss of Alice's baby sister who is still-born due to a lack of adequate medical care, soley because the baby's father is Tamil. Alice's mother never really recovered from this event, leaving Alice with only her Grandfather - Bee, as moral support within the family. When Alice and her parents leave Sri Lanka for England and safety, she feels entirely alone.
Brixton Beach is quite a depressing story. In spite of the wonderful descriptions of Sri Lanka in the first half, the general mood of the book is more akin to the correspondingly drab descriptions of life in England in the second half. I would have liked a little more joy in the book.
In my opinion Alice ended up with the wrong man (won't say more for fear of spoilers).
I would also have preferred that the book had not started with the London bombings of 2005 - they could have been more effectively simply added at the end.
In addition, I didn't particularly like Simon and didn't really see the point in the reference to the opera-loving beauty that he saw in his youth and subsequently searched for at future operas.
A good read but overall I preferred Bone China by the same author.

RWD 21. Specifications. A photo.
RWD 21 - multipurpose Polish aircraft developed by «RWD» in 1938 year.
AircraftRWD 21 photo
Multipurpose monoplane RWD 21 was designed by a group of Polish aircraft designers, which included such remarkable person in the world of aviation as Jerzy Drzewiecki, Stanislav Vigouroux and Stanislaw Rogalski. The main reason for the start of work on the development of the aircraft was the need to use compact aircraft capable of carrying an addition to his board more people and goods, which is why the beginning of the first phase of creating the aircraft was put into 1936 year.
Plane PhotosRWD 21
As a support base, the Polish aircraft manufacturers have used the previously released model aircraft RWD 16, which was very effective, but according to experts, could be optimized better. Initially, the plan was to design engineers placing on board the aircraft up to four people. However, in spite of all the prospects of such a project, it had to be canceled due to the increased size of the aircraft, or the inability to transport cargo on board, which was more appropriate in view of market requirements.
For the first time in the sky the plane model, the RWD 21 1938 raised in the year, and despite the fact that the plane had a spectacular design, perfect aerodynamic shape and high flight performance, the project was never realized due to the onset of the Second World War. For a little less than a year of production, the Polish aircraft company «RWD» managed to build only 9 aircraft of this model, of which, today officially known about the existence of only three copies, two of which are on display at aviation museums.
AircraftRWD 21 (museum piece)
the pilot and the passenger, or, if the aircraft were to be used exclusively as a transport aircraft, the co-pilot - in the cockpit of the aircraft RWD 21 two people can be accommodated. However, since the aircraft had twin controls, the aircraft could also be used, and as the training aircraft, and due to its high maneuverability and speed of flight - even as a sports aircraft.
The aircraft has a four-cylinder piston engine aircraft Blackburn Cirrus Minor having power 90 hp Nevertheless, despite the fact that the aircraft was capable of speeds up to 210 km \ h., Before he had already established himself as malonadёzhny, therefore the experts believe that the great success of the aircraft still would not get.
The short release of the aircraft was conducted in several versions:
- RWD 16bis - Basic version of the aircraft, who had a piston engine with a capacity of 62 hp .;
- RWD 21 - An improved version of the aircraft with improved power ustanvokoy.

New Delhi, April 10: A depleted Lok Sabha today adopted a BJP members private resolution against cow slaughter after Speaker Manohar Joshi overruled the objections of the Congress and Left parties which said the move violated the Constitution.
The resolution, moved by Prahlad Singh Patel a BJP MP from Madhya Pradesh and adopted by voice vote amid a walkout by Congress and Left members, expressed the view that Parliament should pass a law banning cow slaughter.
Joshi, while rejecting the Oppositions objections, cited three precedents in the House when resolutions demanding ban on cow slaughter had been moved passed on one occasion, rejected on another and not taken up on the third.
He said a resolution was merely an expression of sentiments and thus different from legislation.
The resolution was admitted as a private members resolution in the first phase of the budget session last month.
For nearly 90 minutes, Congress, Left and Muslim League members resisted the BJPs effort to get the resolution adopted by making a strong constitutional case against it. But the outcome of the noisy discussion on the point of order they raised was a foregone conclusion.
This was because some smaller Opposition parties preferred to stay away, thereby neutralising the decision of several allies of the BJP not to attend the proceedings.
If MPs of NDA allies like the Samata Party, the Telugu Desam, the DMK and the Trinamul Congress chose not to be present, so did members of the Opposition Samajwadi Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal.
The Shiv Sena was the only NDA ally to support the resolution, which is primarily meant to counter Madhya Pradeshs Congress chief minister Digvijay Singhs campaign on the cow-slaughter plank. Jayalalithaas ADMK also backed the resolution.
Earlier, opposing a vote on the issue, Congress deputy leader in the House Shivraj Patil said the issue came under the State List of the Constitution on which only state legislatures were competent to legislate. CPM leader Somnath Chatterjee cited Article 245 to make the same point.
Both pointed to an earlier observation in the House by minister of state for agriculture Hukum Dev Narain Yadav that Parliament could not legislate on the subject. Yadav had made the observation when the issue was taken up last time. Patil, however, added that the Congress was not opposed to banning cow slaughter.
Parliamentary affairs minister Sushma Swaraj, while conceding that Parliament was not competent to legislate on the subject, asserted that there were past instances when it had legislated on subjects on which it did not have constitutional authorisation.
She also said that Patil, when he was deputy Speaker of the House over a decade ago, had allowed a division on an anti-cow slaughter resolution. At this, Patil countered her, saying that if a mistake had been made once, there was no justification repeating it.
While the BJP had its way on this issue, the party virtually forced its MP, Adityanath, to withdraw his private members Bill on a common civil code. Party spokesman V.K. Malhotra later told reporters that a legislation on the subject required a larger political consensus.

Immigrant couple face jail over sham marriage
A NIGERIAN groom about to wed a woman he barely knew in a sham marriage was arrested just before the love song The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was played
The song choice was "quite apt", prosecutor David Bradshaw told Hull Crown Court.
Masters student Jayeola Abiola, 29, had met his bride-to-be only once a few days earlier at a wedding rehearsal.
The registrar became suspicious and tipped off UK Border Agency officials when Abiola struggled to remember his bride's name and stumbled over questions about their life together.
Just as the bride was about to enter the register office to the music, officers interrupted the ceremony at Hull's Guildhall and put the pair in handcuffs.
Abiola, a student at Hull University, was jailed for a year while his fake bride, a former air-stewardess, was jailed for eight months.
Sham marriages strike at the heart of the immigration system
Abiola paid Portuguese bride Vania Pinheiro- Fernandes £3,000 to help him obtain an EU passport so he could stay in the UK.
She had bought her dress, tiara, veil and flowers two hours before the "wedding" from a branch of Bhs.
Agency staff also covertly filmed cars arriving with the groom, bride and the alleged best man.
Court Recorder Gurdial Singh told the pair to expect custodial sentences, saying: "Sham marriages strike at the heart of the immigration system."
The two admitted conspiracy to breach immigration law by arranging a marriage.

Male supermodel David Gandy has been featured here time and time again, and as long as he keeps up the underwear front he'll be featured here in the future. There's a comfort and a thrill in that, the perfect encapsulation for the spark of fall just around the corner. Previous postings include his initial crowning as Hunk of the Day, his naked ass (and a peek of more), looking dandy in the sand, this sexy work-out GIF, a gratuitous crotch shot, a relatively classy black-and-white bonus, and a bit of bush and backside in one. A few more appearances like this and he may make it into his own category, a la David Beckham or Tom Daley.Back to Blog

Nebraska is the latest film to be directed by Alexander Payne, the man responsible for bringing us such bittersweet gems as Sideways and About Schmidt – which forever burned into the brain the image of what it would be like to see an old Jack Nicholson sitting his scrawny butt down on the toilet to pee. Nebraska is another film that focuses on old age and human frailty, but without descending into maudlin navel-gazing.
Filmed in black-and-white (Oh man, I hear you wail, not an arty film! Well, yes, kind of, but still, there's nothing wrong with that, especially when the film is this good), Nebraska is the story of Woody Grant, an old, semi-senile alcoholic father who is insistent on travelling from Montana to Nebraska in order to claim a million-dollar prize that doesn't exist. So insistent is Woody – played brilliantly and movingly by Bruce Dern (welcome back, Bruce, by the way! It's been ages, man!) – that his estranged son David (Will Forte) ends up deciding to drive him there, if only to shut his father up.
The film is actually very optimistic, although it doesn't sound it. At first glimpse you'd be forgiven for assuming the movie would be about loss and confusion and sadness but although those are important aspects of the film, it is also peppered with moments of such beautiful simplicity and understanding that by the end of Nebraska you feel that the positives far outweighs the negatives. Even those moments in the film when human greed rears its ugly head – as the vultures, familial and otherwise, circle Grant's apparent, perceived newfound wealth – the potential for human comedy is not diminished.
In fact, humor is to be found everywhere in Nebraska; in the slow, painfully boring lives of the crushed soles of small-town America; in the inability of men to communicate; in stories of past love; and in the face of the inexorable passing of time.
Everyone involved gives an inspiring performance. Will Forte's portrayal of the soft-spoken, sensitive son who given the choice between resentment and forgiveness chooses the latter is an exercise in noble humanity, just as Stacy Keach's performance (Hey, Stacy Keach! How you doing, buddy?) as Grant's old shyster friend, Ed Pegram, is an exercise in self-serving amorality. June Squibb, as Kate Grant, Woody's long-suffering wife, deserves special mention for an incredible job making her character such a likeable, heroic creation. Look out for a great scene in a cemetery when she lets an old beau lying under the ground know what he missed all those years. Wonderful.
I loved this movie. Okay, it doesn't have a carefully selected ensemble carrying out a daring heist or require any of the leads to brutalize themselves to fit a particular role; it's not a fast-paced, action-packed romp or a CGI blockbuster… but it IS a thing of utter beauty; it IS utterly human… and it IS totally worth the ticket. Nebraska proves, simply, that you don't have to be colorful to be colorful.

You might have an idea that I love visiting Miami. I may have shared that once or twice. I love visiting because it's an easy trip to a tropical destination that is also cosmopolitan, and it feels both familiar, and foreign. And who doesn't love foreign when they travel?
So, it was no surprise when I planned an impromptu trip to South Beach to celebrate my birthday, around this time three years ago. What was somewhat of a surprise was realizing that my birthday festivities coincided with Art Basel, Miami Beach (and Wynwood).The original Art Basel was launched in Basel, Switzerland in 1970. Followed by Miami Beach in 2002, then, more recently, Hong Kong, which launched in 2013. The three shows take place on three different continents, each host city being a gateway into important markets.Hong Kong, China–an international business and financial center–is in the heart of Asia. Miami Beach, which is an attractive place to be during the winter months, according to the international crowd, is a major tourism hub that serves as a gateway into Latin America. Basel has been a commercial hub since Medieval times, known today for it's pharmaceutical industry, and also known as a city of culture, having over 40 museums!I couldn't have been more excited to spend a good beach weekend with great friends, surrounded by art and artists–and all those who appreciate them–during Art Basel Miami 2013.A few things to expect during Art Basel weekend in Miami and Wynewood:
Everything is more expensive during Art Basel, Miami. Hotels that you wouldn't normally consider at any other time start to look a lot more attractive. You could end up priced out of hotels that aren't even close to your first choice if you don't plan early, like way early. Or, work smart and not hard and use Air BnB, which provides excellent alternatives to the traditional hotel stay.
Restaurants that you could usually walk into are suddenly closed off by velvet rope during Art Basel, Miami. I decided, last minute, that I wanted to eat at Bianca (on the patio of the Delano) on the night of my birthday, only to realize, all too late, that the entire hotel was reserved for private events by institutions like MoMA, as an example. And it appeared that the folks at the door were highly selective. Everyone around us was clamoring to get in. I could only think of my embarrassment at having to be turned away, after being dropped off by a taxi (while being surrounded by the most well dressed folks– including a lot in Italian tailoring, who were speaking rapid-fire Italian) when the person with the list looked at my girlfriends and me, and decided that we should be let in. Whew!
Do have some Cuban food while in Miami. And there's no shame in getting a
drink Call a Cab from Wet Willies–everyone does it. And a late night sandwich from Jerry's Deli. And definitely a few bites from Yardbird, in betwixt drinks and meals at places like Juvia, the River Yacht Club, Seaspice, and elsewhere.
As you can imagine, the Art Basel host city plans parallel events during the international art festival. Be sure to check out a full list of events prior to your trip, whether to Miami, Hong Kong or Basel. and be strategic about mapping out your steps. Or, you can freestyle and wing it (and you may end up in a party taxi like my friends and me, or turning down invites to join some wealthy foreigners on their boat — as between the party taxi and the boat, in retrospect, I think we made the wrong choice).
The beach in Miami Beach is the Beach, but during Art Basel the beach serves as a gallery space! Be sure to soak up some culture while soaking in the sun. Walk the length of the beach to see the exhibits on view there.
Art Basel Hong Kong usually takes place the second to last weekend in March. The Basel show occurs in mid June, and the Miami Beach and Wynwood shows falls on the first weekend in December, usually coinciding with my birthday—the one that I share with Jay-Z 😉Check out the gallery below for more of Art Basel, Miami Beach and Wynwood, 2013.

The Search for Good & Free Mind Mapping Tools
Mind mapping our thoughts can play a critical role in shaping our personal or business success. For webmasters & bloggers, mind mapping our content structure or online marketing strategies is a useful method to provide top-level clarity and summary of what matters to us most. On this article, I'll share mind mapping applications that I have reviewed personally. All of them are free, with a couple of them offering premium plans.
*Mind mapping applications that are on trial-basis, paid products, or running purely on paid plans will not be discussed on this post. Probably I'll write on this separately in the future.
XMind is one of the most popular desktop software when it comes to mind mapping solutions. It's packed with features and most of the functions can be done via drag and drop. What I liked about XMind are the templates that comes with it. Using the templates, you can quickly create organization charts, fishbone flow charts, to-do lists, and the standard mind maps.
On the free version, other than the standard mind mapping functionality, you can get to insert media/attachments, hyperlinks, images and notes. And if you need to further categorize or "decorate" your mindmaps, you can use emoticons, prioritize your tasks, indicate the tasks progression, date markers, and many more.
There are many formats that you can export as. However on the free version you are limited to only HTML, Image, or the standard Mind Map format – which is not too bad. If you require more features (including more export options) and have the budget, take a look at their Plus (US $79) and Pro (US $99) versions.
Available on: Windows, Mac & Linux
Coggle is a free web-app that allows you to create unlimited mind maps, and comes with features that are handy for most users. The mind mapping application guides you along by giving you hints when you create your diagram. For those who often work without an optical device (mouse), you will be pleased to know there are keyboard shortcuts that allows you to create your diagram quickly.
Other than the standard mind mapping functions, here's what you can do on the free plan:
- bold and italics text in the bubble,
- insert links and images,
- download as PDF or image,
- insert hyperlinks,
- and what I like most – the ability to add in other users to collaborate on the mind map.
However, to be honest, Coggle may not be practical for everyone. The reason is because the diagrams that we created will be made public. If you are working on sensitive or confidential stuff, you need to sign up for Coggle plans to make these mindmaps private. If you have no concerns about sharing your mind maps in public, this web-browser tool is really awesome.
One of the features that stand out when I reviewed MindMeister was the ability to insert videos from the Web. The web-based application allows you to insert a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or Dailymotion. For a free plan, I am pretty impressed by this feature since this is not being offered in many products (even paid ones). The key functions that it provides are:
- setting boundaries for your bubbles
- styling your text
- creating relationships between bubbles
- using of images (limited to MindMeister's library, or web image only)
- include hyperlinks
- collaborate with your team
Mindmaps can be exported as MindMeister format, PDF and image formats.
Free Mind
FreeMind is a free software written using Java, and works on almost all platforms. Installing the software is easy since installers are created for Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X. To download, visit the link at sourceforge here. Then look for your OS type, and click on the link to initiate the download.
The application is a very strong contender even if you pit it against a paid product. In terms of interface, it may not be that polished compared to other alternatives. BUT when it comes to functionality and functions WOW!
Key features include:
- adding images,
- inserting hyperlinks,
- make your node blink (yes, that's right),
- many formatting and styling options,
- encrypting your mindmaps,
- and if your mind map gets too big or wordy, you can search using keywords.
For export options, you get to choose from image, PDF, HTML, Java Applet, Flash, and many more.
The first impression that I had when launching MindMaple was it's interface resemblance to Microsoft office. So if you are a frequent user of Microsoft products, probably learning how to use the application won't take you too long. What I liked about the desktop application is the ease when it comes to integrating task details & documents to a particular node. Users who are using the software for projects purposes benefits as it gives them clarity on what needs to be done at every stage of the project
Key functions include:
- task scheduling (indicate the degree of completion with markers)
- wide range of formating and styling options
- insert hyperlinks
- attaching images
- set tasks (start & due dates, priority, duration, etc)
- creating boundaries
- relationships between nodes
On the free plan, the application offers several formats to export (e.g. image, Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, HTML & text). As a side note, PDF is only available on the PRO version.
MindMaple is available on Windows, Mac and iOS.
The web-based mind mapping tool is available in both free and paid versions. To stay relevant to this post, here's what you can do with the free version:
- Create up to 3 mind maps.
- Export as image or HTML only.
- Email support available.
- Sharing of mind maps.
Creating a mind map is pretty straightforward. Just place the cursor over the bubble, and there will be a small tooltip providing you the options to create a sibling or child branch, change the color of the bubble, increase/decrease size of text, or to delete the bubble. As a free tool, bubbl.us is limited in it's features. However it may appeal to users whose intention is only to create basic mind maps that can be share easily to the intended audience.
Final thoughts
Mind mapping is a activity that can boost our productivity and helps us to achieve our goals with clarity. Here are more suggestions on how you can extend the use to:
- Business activities (e.g. presentation, discussions & project planning).
- Education purposes (note taking & projects).
- Personal use (e.g. travel plans, schedules & finances).
There is probably no such thing as the best mind mapping tool. It really depends on your needs. For example, if you are not able to get connected to the Internet regularly, then a web-based mind mapping tool is not going to be practical. However if you are working on different PCs or platforms most of the time, a web-app tool may be your best choice. Other factors for consideration includes the price, functionality, ease of easy, export options/formats, etc.
In your case, which is your most preferred mind mapping solution?

CRACK! by: Insane SS19 that didn't take her non-existent meds.
Summary on why: Hey, Fan-chan told me that maybe I should write a crack, so yeah. But don't worry, there are no crack ships, just my usual ones. But not much romance. It'll be very random, I hope. Munching on some strawberry pocky and listening to 'Move Your Feet' helps. Especially with my brother watching Digimon Digidestined The Movie and me trying to draw Ashley Shinkudo Kango from my story, DIEWTGL, also, I guess I'm trying to multitask. XD I don't know if this is a crack, but it's my attempt at one!
Genre: Humor...Randomness
Rating: K+ or T
Randomness level: *Beep beep* *too high I hope*
"Hey, Green! Do you want some taffy?" Blue came running from her annual Kanto Fitness skipping ritual.
"Taffy. Yum," Green gratefully took some taffy and popped it into his mouth.
"It tastes like nail polish."
"Maybe because it's nail polished flavored!" Blue smoothed out her glittery disco shirt.
"¡Hey, tengo gusto de comer la espinaca condimentada!" Green yelled angrily. ("Hey, I like to eat spinach flavored!" Sorry if it's wrong, I use Dashboard's translator...)
"Conosco l'italiano, anche, ragazzo!" Blue replied. ("I know Italian, too, boyfriend!")
"¡Es español, y no soy â novioâ ! ¡Soy su novio!" Green told her. ("It's Spanish, and I'm not 'Boyfriend'! I'm your boyfriend!")
"Okay, could we stop speaking in different languages? I mean, I now know you're bilingual!" (Is that spelled correctly?)
"Trilingual," Green replied, then took another Taffy. "I hope this is spinach flavored."
"Er, Green, that's-" Blue cringed at Green's saliva hitting the cement.
"It's dandelion flavored," Green said, disgusted. "Where do you even get these disgusting taffies? I'd take a spicy cinnamon stick any day."
"I got it from Gio's Gummies!" Blue took out a flyer.
"Do you realize that is Silver's father, Giovanni, in an apron?" Green gingerly handed the flyer back to Blue.
"Oh, well. I'm going to go find Yellow and Red!" Blue ran off to a random direction, brandishing the bag of taffies.
With Yellow and Red
"Uh, Red, do you like eating celery 'n' ice-cream?" Yellow asked, looking at the menu of Food la Weird.
"No...I'm allergic to the color green," Red replied.
"Then...how do you stand Green's eyes?"
"Uh...they never color them. When they do color them, I stay away. And when they colored your eyes green wrongly, I was so offended, I forgot to puff up..."
Yellow smiled and replied, "Then we'll order the all-yellow and all-red meal, okay?"
"Of course!"
"...lose our minds...raise your glass, just come on and come on and raise your glass...I should be locked up right on the spot...*hum*...Why so serious...all my underdogs...we will never be never be anything but loud...little freaks..." Blue came humming and whispering lyrics to P!nk's 'Raise Your Glass'.
"Where's Green?" asked Yellow. Some customers were giving the table strange looks. 1 blonde boy with a huge straw hat, the Kanto League champion, and a brunette girl. If they didn't know about the pokedex-holders, then it would have been a sight to behold.
"Oh, him? I think he was throwing up in a bowl of green pea soup...I think Gold convinced him to do that," Blue replied, then waved over a waiter. "Waiter, waiter. I think I'll have the PokeUp."
"Erm, waiter, may we have the yellow-colored meal and the red-colored meal?" Yellow asked, taking out her wallet.
"Ah, Yellow, I'll pay for it," Red handed over some pokeyen for the meal.
"I like how you didn't pay attention to the price of the meal and payed for my soda," Blue smirked, tossing a bag of multi-colored taffies to them. "Au revoir!"
The waiter, who was dressed in a comb-costume, came over with their plates of food.
On Yellow's plate, there was a piece of tofu fried and salted until it turned yellow, some corn, a banana, mustard, and lemonade on the side. Red had spiced tofu, ketchup, cherries, a slice of tamato (is that how you spell it? Too lazy to check...) berry, and red fruit punch.
"It looks good!" Yellow commented, cutting her tofu with a pitchfork that had the name 'Zoey' inscribed on the handle. It looked like somebody had chipped a nail doing that.
"Yeah," Red began to cut his ketchup with an equally sharp pitchfork labeled with a sticker that said 'Fin'. Nobody chipped a nail there, I hope.
They finished their meals and skipped to the world of talking yams and the 'Lost Potty-Trained 1 year old'.
"I am Elder YAMamoto!" an elderly looking yam with a long, white beard hopped over to them.
"Hello, Elder YAMamoto!" Yellow shook his hand, er, beard.
"Mwa name is Harold," the little boy came waddling over.
"Er..." Yellow and Red inched away slightly from the little boy. After all, he might not be potty-trained, as it had been 82 years since he was banned from growing up and becoming a trainer. Despite his claims that he didn't kill the only piece of camouflage-colored gelatin, they threw him into the Sierra Nevada Mountains and eventually yams migrated there.
"KYAH!" Yellow yelled, and there was a sudden flash of liquor sticks and bubble gum.
"Where are we?" Red practically screamed.
"Welcome to," a mysterious man said, ", DOOFUSI!"
"Wouldn't it be 'doofuses', not 'doofusi'?" Yellow asked, then bit the inside of her mouth.
'How cheeky of Yellow,' thought Red. 'But that's actually pretty brave.'
"Well, young lady," the man mused. "Do you want to hear the Gummy Bear Song?"
"Umm...you mean the Gummy Teddiursa Song?" Yellow replied, not knowing how cheeky she sounded, despite her innocent look.
Red followed the man to a CD player as he inserted an album in.
"OH I'M A GUMMY TEDDIURSA, YES I'M A GUMMY TEDDIAURSA. OH I'M A- !" the CD player started to smoke and Yellow screamed as it caught on fire.
"May I interest you in some other songs-on the radio?" the mysterious man pointed to a radio with it's springs coming out.
"Sure!" Red agreed, and the man began to turn the dial.
"Who's that ch-" "GEIKO, 15 minutes could save you 15%-" "-stick with me through whatev-" "-catch a grenade for y-" "This beef jerk-" "Fruit Salad, yummy yum-" "We speak no Engl-" "I love you, you love me-" "'Steve, what do you think we'll be doing tonight?' 'Don't know, Linda, but we'll do it with a smile and reply, 'Yes-ceritos'!'"
"Um, sir?" Yellow tried to get the man's attention, but he was too busy turning the dial.
Red was losing his patience. After all, what kind of Kanto champion sits around and listens to the radio with an old man? But apparently Arceus didn't want Red to explode, because the radio exploded for Red.
That was the last thing Red and Yellow heard before a beam of mangos hit them in the head.
"Did that teleport us anywhere?" Yellow asked, rubbing the bruise on her forehead.
"Hmmm..." Red surveyed the area. "I think we're back in Pallet town!"
Yellow smiled happily and began to do the moon-walk, though Arceus-knows-how she did that. I mean, can you do that?
Red watched in interest, grabbed a very lumpy apricorn smoothie with boba, and began to twirl and to hip hop dance. Blue appeared out of no where and sang, "Strangers, waiting, up and down the boulevard~!"
Green, who was just walking down a boulevard, all of a sudden donned a black jacket and looked exactly like some stranger dude. He mumbled, "Hnn...Tenuto!" He waved a baton and Kurt, who was not there earlier, began to stress the note he was playing on the mini electric pink keyboard.
A loud cacophony erupted, since Blue was singing 'Don't Stop Believing', Green was trying to conduct Kurt to play a piece on the keyboard, Red had started to rap, and Yellow was softly singing a beautiful, though girl-ish, version of 'Thriller'.
They continued this for several minutes until a loud, booming voice interrupted their-uh, what was it called?-party-like thing. "What hasseth you cometh up witheth, Greeneth?"
Green looked up and yelled, "ON THE NAME OF KING GEORGE III! SETH, STOP ADDING SUCH A BORING SUFFIX TO THOSE WORDS! CAN'T YOU SAY HASMYUKZZZ? WITHUKJUH*CHOKING SOUND*? EVEN GREEN*CHOKING, STRANGLING SOUND*?"
All of a sudden, Yellow's hat flew off, and everyone without a hat got different hair styles. Green became mohawk man, Blue became hair-in-front-of-face girl, and Red's hair looked like...like a big thunder-bolt.
Yellow cried, "THE GREAT GOD, HYUTAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZECK, HAS COME TO EAT OUR FEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"
Blue, Green, and Red payed, yes, no heed, and turned on their iTouches. Arceus knows how they got their grubby hands on those!
beautifulnstealthy: Hi!
thunderbolt: Yo
silentbutnotemo: Kyzaaaaaaaazzzzzzzzz
thunderbolt: Creeping me out
beautifulnstealthy: Yeah, Green, why are you like this? :p
silentbutnotemo: Cuzzzzz meeeeee wanttttt toooooooooo

sunflower: What is going on?
beautifulnstealthy: Hi Yellow! :D
thunderbolt: HI! 8D 83
sunflower: Hi guys! Wait-why is Green silent?
thunderbolt: He, a few min ago, did the X_X face
sunflower: So, he's dead?
silentbutnotemo: I ammmmm aaaaaa zombieeeeeeeeeee
The pokedex-holders were so engrossed in their IMing, they didn't notice the fact that this 'Seth' was actually-yes, actually-a dude with a cap on. AWESOME!
beautifulnstealthy: Who wants ice-cream?
thunderbolt: Awesome
sunflower: Great!
silentbutnotemo: Zomebiessssss loveeeeeee iceeeeeeee-creammmmmmmmmmm
beautifulnstealthy: K, let's get ice-cream! XD

"Let's head to Ivy's Icicle Ice-Cream!" Blue began to skip happily towards the shop.
While on the way there, a giant octopus the size of the giant in Jack the Beanstalk's foot appeared out of no where and screeched, "I SHALL FLING YOU TO THE FARTHEST CORNER OF THE WORLD!"
Green looked up indifferently and yelled back, "THE WORLD'S ROUND!"
An awkward silence erupted, which was pretty weird because it's silence. But nonetheless, sharpedo munched on imitation chicken and-WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! That's not proper awkward silence sound! Oh well, I guess with budget cuts, it will have to do.
The octopus regained his composure and shrieked, "YARGH, BUT YEE MUST FEEL YEE RATH OF THEE OCTOPUS, OCTO-PUSSY!"
A girl clutching an abnormally large branch jumped from no where and shrieked, "SHRIEKING IS MY THING!" She then whacked Octo-pussy with the abnormally large branch.
When the dex-holders went home that night and hit the hay, they probably, if it wasn't a crackfic, would have been thinking, 'What a weird day!' But since it was a crackfic, they were all thinking, 'We never did get that ice-cream...'
I know you're all thinking that I should work on DIEWTGL. Yes, I am doing so; I just want this to be posted first! I hope you find amusement in it! Hopefully none of you think I'll be loony like this is DIEWTGL...^^;;

Your honeymoon is one of the most special vacations of your life - why not make the most of it by visiting more than one city! For their European getaway, Kyle and Yvette decided to jet off to two locations that embody romance - Dubrovnik and Venice! Treating themselves to a double-Flytographer trip, Kyle and Yvette met up with Flytographer Marta in Venice and Flytographer Bozo in Dubrovnik to capture these memories of the beginning of their new life together!
"We were really thrilled with our double Flytographer experience; they really captured some special memories of our dual centre honeymoon; memories we shall cherish for life."
"In Venice, you have to go on a Gondola ride; expensive, but well worth it. Also - explore the area around the Rialto bridge on market day."
"In Dubrovnik, go to the Island of Lokrum... it's peaceful and tranquil and allows you to escape some of the hustle and bustle of the Old Town. A truly beautiful escape!"
"Both Bozo and Marta were true professionals and we couldn't be happier with the photographs they've taken: they've truly captured the essence of the moment together with the fun and romance of our relationship. Thank you!" - Kyle and Yvette

IRON MAN 3 Super Bowl Spot
If you were reloading on nachos and missed the Iron Man 3 Super Bowl commercial, here's the TV spot that no power surge could stop:Brief, yes, but an extended version — featuring words from Ben Kingsley's Mandarin, and something of a Robert Downey Jr. staring contest — can be viewed on the movie's Facebook page. The longer clip has been uploaded to YouTube via unofficial channels, though it may likely be pulled before long: Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!
