Growing up long-ago in Canadian cottage country we had a supposedly untippable canoe. It had these styrofoam runners down each side, put in place to keep the thing from flipping, even if you leaned waaaay over.
At least in theory. Because telling a pre-teen that a canoe is “untippable” is never a good idea. All it does is encourage some passengers to focus entirely on finding a way to dump the thing in the drink.
After some experimentation, we realized that the canoe wasn’t untippable at all. As long as you overloaded the canoe with friends, and then everyone jumped in sync from one side to the other and back, you could get a nice rhythm going and eventually flip the unflippable Canadian canoe. It was wonderfully satisfying, in a bull-in-china-shop sort of way.
I was reminded of the preceding in reading an article in Monday’s WSJ about how hedge fund managers are messing up some analysts’ favorite market signals. Where some folks used to use flip-flopping heavy-buying and heavy-selling days to indicate a market bottom, those days now come along all too regularly — computer-equipped hedge fund managers are like teens trying to flip a canoe — and the value of the signal has dropped to nada.
Ned Davis Research in Venice, Fla., has long tracked what it calls nine-to-one days based simply on trading volume — days when 90% of the shares traded move in the same direction. There has been so much volatility of late that the firm has adjusted its system. For up days, it now counts only 10-to-one days, because there are simply too many nine-to-one days.
“This used to be a good signal of a major bottom,” says Tim Hayes, Ned Davis’s chief investment strategist. “Now, it could be turning into a signal of the end of a less-significant market correction — or it could be turning into an inconsistent signal” that simply means investors are anxious.

Among my mother’s possessions when she died was a wooden box, a box exactly the size of the one in which we buried her ashes. It had a sticky latch, a latch that seemed to tell us no, not yet, there are other tasks to take care of. So for weeks the box sat where it had always sat, under a table — a handsome mahogany table — beside a bookcase filled with dozens of books written about cruising the Maine coast. On top of the bookcase was a stack of every navigational chart imaginable from Block Island to Penobscot Bay and on up to New Brunswick. My parents were enthusiastic sailors.
But they weren’t just sailors, they were night sailors. They took classes at an organization called the Power Squadron where both of them soon became instructors. My father’s title was “Commander,” my mother’s was “Lady Proficient.” The Power Squadron never had a woman instructor before Mom came along, and they and their bylaws were seriously lacking in imagination. Mom’s favorite class to teach was Celestial Navigation. She was a math major and found in the skies another source of mathematical beauty. If you knew how to read the stars you would never be lost, and if you knew how to use a sextant you would know your exact position on the globe and be able to steer your ship toward certainty.
People are also reading…
In the box made of teak with a sticky latch, we found her sextant. It was at that moment, opening the box and finding that beautiful, useful, ingenious tool inside, that I began to understand who we had lost. It was just like her, that sextant. In form it was pleasing, in design brilliant. Its purpose was to keep us safe, to promote safe passage, to use the skies as our informants. I remembered a night sail with my parents, northward through Massachusetts Bay. We left the lights of Boston behind and sailed out under a tent of stars. My mother tried to teach me how to use that strange and wonderful instrument. How I wish it had stuck, but it did not. I do remember her words, just two of them: Find Polaris.
I live at the foot of Observatory Mesa. From my front porch I can look aloft and see the telescope housing up at Lowell, and a short walk up my street leads me onto the mesa itself with its undisturbed woodlands and far views out over town, south to Mormon Mountain and north to the San Francisco Peaks. I walk in the evening, by chance more than design. At that hour the late light butters the grasses and shoots gold through the pines and the city falls away. With luck I’ll spot a coyote, and if I’m walking with my friend Lynne, she has a keen eye for antelope. The train rolls by. I hear it at a distance and its sound is welcome, like a reliable heartbeat. When the darkness comes my feet find the way, and I do hear my mother’s voice, a quiet voice with the ocean behind it. Find Polaris, she says.
How fortunate we are to have these acres of open land in the middle of a city. How fortunate we are to live high up among the stars, closer to the sky, with guides in every corner of the realm, eager to show us the rings of Saturn or the Triangulum Galaxy only 2.3 million light-years away. How fortunate that our darkness benefits our neighbors up the hill at the observatory. This allows me to search for and find Polaris while standing in my pajamas in my front yard.
When I was a hiking guide in Grand Canyon, the evening’s entertainment was always a short walk down below the campground to the boat beach where the sky was a magic carpet, a long and narrow celestial design. The river was a mirror, the big eddy there, and city people marveled at the stars in the water and the stars above them. One couple from London brought their two sons, ages nine and 11, just to see for the first time what the night sky looked like.
Celestial navigation is more than the art of the sextant. It’s the use of all our senses in finding our way in the dark — by the light of the stars, the moon, or the darkness itself. We’re unaccustomed to the beauty of the night. This shrinks our world by half. “The night walks the same road as the dream,” says the Russian proverb. And the tidy Swiss say, “The night rinses what the day has soaped.”
The day we buried Mom a steady rain was falling. The sky was unreadable. Her ashes were not her — I knew that. I was with her when she died and she died completely out of her body. She was gone moments after her last breath. In those last moments, her eyes were as wide as I’d ever seen them. Wide and blue. She looked with such intensity past the four of us who were there beside her bed. She looked into another place, I would guess another world. She was a confident navigator, even in this transition, this movement of energy from a seen, felt and heard being to something we have no words for. When I seek her out now I go directly to the stars, because even though it was never spoken, in her own way she let me know: Find Polaris and you’ll find me.

Huntingtower Castle is to be found just west of Perth, not far from the junction of the A9 and the A85 Crieff road. Its location is unspectacular, and the margins of Perth seem to be growing steadily out towards it. But both the grounds and the castle are beautifully cared for and what you find is a unique time capsule with a wonderful atmosphere.
Huntingtower is medieval in origin but has seen significant redevelopment during its colourful history. Two families, the Ruthvens and the Murrays, made it their home and it also played host to royalty: twice to Mary Queen of Scots and once to her son James VI, who was held against his will there for ten months in 1582 during the episode known as the Ruthven Raid (see our Historical Timeline).
The Ruthvens held the lands from the 1100s to 1600. One resident in the early 1500s was Katherine Ruthven who later became Lady Glenorchy. In 1600 James VI's patience with the family finally ran out as a result of yet more plotting against him. As a result they were first killed and then tried for high treason; their lands were forfeited; and even the very name of the place, until then Ruthven, was changed - to Huntingtower.
The property was later given by the Crown to the Murrays of Tullibardine. Amongst the family's notable sons was Lord George Murray, who played an important role in the Jacobite uprisings of 1715, 1719 and 1745. During the occupation of John Murray, the first Duke of Atholl, the castle became run down and with the death of his wife in 1767 it was abandoned as a place of residence.
During the occupancy of the House of Ruthven, Huntingtower consisted of two quite separate tower houses built three metres apart, one for each of the sons of William Ruthven. Other buildings were set around the courtyard of the castle precincts.
Huntingtower today offers an interesting glimpse into the past, and holds some surprises for its visitors. Entry is either by steps from the courtyard into the first floor of the Western Tower, or into the ground floor of the East Tower.
The West Tower originally had three storeys and a garret and was the larger of the two properties; what remains today is a spacious hall with traces of wall paintings and coat of arms still apparent in the west window recess.
The Eastern Tower was originally built as a gatehouse but was converted in around 1500 into a residential tower house. The first floor hall boasts a painted wooden ceiling and intricate painted plasterwork representing a bird amid luxuriant foliage. This building is three floors and a garret, and on the second floor the fine 15th Century fireplace also survives.
It was in the 1600s that work was undertaken to link the two towers and make Huntingtower look more like a regular country mansion of the time. This work was undertaken by the the Murray family, and the bridging work between the original two towers is clearly visible both internally and externally.
At this time the grounds still housed the ruins of an earlier great banqueting hall and these were still standing more than a century later. The Murrays also developed significant formal gardens to the south and east of the castle.
Huntingtower also has a romantic tale to tell. Dorothea, daughter of the first Earl of Gowrie is said to have leapt between the tops of the two towers of the castle, a distance of 9 feet 4 inches, in retreat from her mother as she was almost discovered when visiting her lover in his chamber (doubtless deliberately located by her mother in the other tower).
The mother was reassured to find her daughter in her own bed that night, and her lover alone in his: but was probably less impressed when the couple eloped the next day. To this day the gap between the towers is know as The Maiden's Leap.
Some castles' claim to fame is a resident ghost. Huntingtower is known more for is resident colony of pipistrelle bats, who live here all year round alongside brown long-eared bats and some rarer Natterer's bats. An information board within the castle notes that bats aren't house trained, so evidence of their presence can be all to obvious. On the other hand, it points out that even a small pipistrelle bat can can eat up to 3,000 midges each night. And if you see butterfly wings carelessly scattered around, these are the leftovers of another of the bats' favourite meals.

Conor O'Shea (Irish : Conchúir Ó Sé) (born 21 October 1970) is an Irish rugby union coach and former player. He was the head coach of the Italy national team from 2016 to 2019. He played as a full back and occasionally at out-half and centre for Ireland, Lansdowne and London Irish. He has also coached London Irish and Harlequins, and held management positions with the English Rugby Football Union and the English Institute of Sport.
O'Shea was born in County Limerick. He went to Terenure College in Dublin, which is one of the main rugby nurseries in Ireland.[ citation needed ] He attended University College Dublin where he completed a Bachelor of Commerce Degree and began his representative career.

His father, Jerome, was a famous Gaelic football player in the 1950s and won All-Ireland Championship medals with Kerry in 1953, 1955 and 1959.
O'Shea started his rugby playing career at Terenure College, where he won the Leinster Schools Rugby Senior Cup in 1991.He briefly represented his university UCD before leaving in 1992. Upon leaving, he joined Lansdowne, and soon became a regular starter at fullback in the 1st XV. He was selected for provincial side Leinster in 1993, where in 1994 he helped Leinster secure their first Irish Interprovincial Rugby Championship title since 1984, despite the title being shared. He scored Leinster's first ever try in a professional European tournament, scoring against Italian side Milan in the inaugural Heineken Cup. Leinster topped their pool with a win over Pontypridd, but failed to progress past the semi-finals where they were defeated by Cardiff 23–14.
In 1995, O'Shea moved to England so that he could play in a top division tournament, where he represented London Irish.He helped London Irish to promotion to the top division in England in his first season at the club, and helped his side to the semi-finals of the 1995–96 Pilkington Cup, losing to Leicester 46–21. In London Irish first season in the top flight division, they finished 10th, which meant they had to play in the Relegation/Promotion play–offs against Coventry - London Irish won on aggregate 42–23. In the inaugural European Challenge Cup, London Irish finished bottom of their pool, losing all 5 games. Though in the 1997–98 European Challenge Cup, Irish improved greatly to finish second in their group behind Stade Français. In 1998/99, London Irish recorded their best positioning on the English Premiership table finishing 7th on the overall table. In 1999 he was awarded the Zurich Players’ Player of the Season Award in a season where he captained the side to the top of their European Challenge Cup table, and the semi-finals of the Tetley's Bitter Cup. However, in both competition, London Irish were defeated by Northampton and Castres Olympique respectively.
In November 2000, O'Shea sustained an ankle injury playing against Gloucester, ending his playing career.
On 13 November 1993, Conor O'Shea earned his first international cap, playing at fullback against Romania at Lansdowne Road in a 25–3 victory.

He was later named in the squad that toured Australia in their 1994 tour. In 1995 he was selected for the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa, where he played in two of Ireland's group matches (vs Japan and Wales) and started at fullback against France in the quarter-finals, losing 36–12. O'Shea wasn't selected in 1996 following his move to London Irish, but returned to the squad in 1997 ahead of the 1997 Five Nations Championship.
On 14 November 1998, O'Shea scored his first try for his country, scoring in Ireland's 70–0 victory over Georgia. In 1999, he was selected for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, which was part hosted by Ireland. He started in all 4 games of the World Cup, which saw Ireland get knocked out by Argentina in the quarter-final play-offs 28–24.
In 2001, O'Shea took up a coaching position with London Irish following his career ending injury. Initially helping out as a skills coach, before becoming director of rugby for the exiles. In his first season, he brought in South African Brendan Venter as a player-coach. He and Venter guided London Irish to fourth in the 2001–02 Aviva Premiership season but the team was knocked out in the quarter-finals by Northampton Saints 38–14. London Irish did however go on to win the first Anglo-Welsh Cup after winning the 2001–02 Powergen Cup, this time defeating Northampton Saints 38–7. With this win, he won the Zurich Rugby Director of the Season Award, jointly with Brendan Venter. In the 2002–03 season the Exiles dropped back down the table, finishing in 9th place, while also failing to progress out of the pool stages of their first Heineken Cup.
In 2005 O'Shea left London Irish to take up an appointment with the Rugby Football Union as Director of Regional Academies. His job was to oversee the network of 14 England regional academies and lead the selection and monitoring of players capable of developing into future England internationals. In 2008 he left his position with the RFU to take up a role with the English Institute of Sport as National Director, with a view on the 2012 Summer Olympics.In 2007 O'Shea was called upon by the RFU to give a talk to the England squad before playing Ireland for the first time at Croke Park to acquaint the players with the sporting and political history of the ground.
On 16 December 2009, Harlequins announced that O'Shea would become their new Director of Rugby replacing Dean Richards.He started his new position on 15 March 2010, midway through the 2009/10 season.
In his first full season in charge, he restored Harlequins to the Heineken Cup for the 2011–12 season following a 7th-place finish in the 2010–11 Aviva Premiership. He guided Quins to the semi-finals of the 2010–11 LV Cup and to the final of the 2010–11 European Challenge Cup, defeating Stade Français 19–18. In 2012, Quins topped the 2011–12 Aviva Premiership table at the end of the regular season with 75 points (17 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses). They defeated Northampton Saints 25–23 in the semi-finals to progress to the final against Leicester Tigers. On 26 May 2012, Harlequins won their first ever Premiership title defeating the Tigers 30–23. However, they were unable to defend their title after being knocked out by the Tigers 33–16 at the semi-finals of the 2012–13 Aviva Premiership. They did however clinch the 2012–13 LV Cup title and made it to the quarter-finals of the 2012–13 Heineken Cup.
During 2013–14 Heineken Cup, O'Shea led Quins to second in their pool, 9th overall dropping them down to the quarter-finals of the 2013–14 European Challenge Cup. After beating Stade Français 29–6, they failed to progress past the semi-finals after being defeated by Northampton Saints 10–18 in what was an all-England semi-finals. In the Premiership, Saracens beat Quins 31–17 in the semi-finals, while they also failed to get out of their group in the 2013–14 LV Cup. Harlequins dropped even further down the table during the 2014–15 Aviva Premiership, finishing 8th overall, which also meant they dropped out of the top flight European tournament. Quins did, however, make it all the way to the final of the 2015–16 European Rugby Challenge Cup, but were defeated by Montpellier 26–19, which was O'Shea's last match in charge of the team. On 20 January 2016, Harlequins announced that he would be leaving the club at the end of the season, after 6 years in the Director of Rugby role.
On 25 March 2016, after months of speculation, O'Shea was named the new head coach of the Italian national team, bringing with him Englishman Mike Catt. O'Shea's first match in charge was during the 2016 June internationals, where Italy toured the Americas. The tour began with a closely fought defeat to Argentina 30–24, before going onto beat the United States, 24–20, and Canada, 20–18. During the 2016 end of year tests, having heavily lost to New Zealand 68–10, O'Shea on 19 November, helped Italy to their first-ever victory against South Africa winning 20–18. However, the following week saw Italy lose to Tonga for the first time since 1999, 19–17.
In O'Shea's first Six Nations Championship, Italy lost all five games and failed to pick up a single point for the table. Despite leading Wales 7–3 in the opening round, they conceded 30 points in the second half to lose 33–7. This was followed by a loss to Ireland 63–10 and a loss to England despite also leading England at Twickenham 10–5 at half time and still within a score to win at the 60th minute. A loss to France 40–18 meant it was guaranteed Italy would finish bottom. The last week saw Italy fail to score any points against Scotland, losing 29–0. During Italy's June tests, Italy failed to win a game, losing to Scotland 34–13 in Singapore, Fiji 22–19 with a last minute drop goal by Ben Volavola to seal the victory for Fiji, before going onto lose to Australia 40–27. However the score was 28–27 with less than five minutes to go in the game, but two quick tries by the Wallabies saw them comfortably win the game. The 2017 end-of-year tests saw Italy gain a single victory in three tests, defeating Fiji 19–10, but losing to Argentina 15–31 and South Africa 6–35.
The 2018 Six Nations Championship saw Italy gain their first table point since 2015, with a losers bonus point being earned in the final round when Italy lost to Scotland 29–27. The other matches, saw Italy not only fail to gain a victory, but were also denied a losers and try bonus point, losing 46–15 to England, 56–19 to Ireland, 34–17 to France and 38–14 to Wales. In June 2018, O'Shea took Italy on a two-test series against Japan. The series ended in a 1–1 draw, after losing the first test 34–17, but brought the series level in the second test with a 25–22 victory.
During the 2018/19 international season for Italy, they won just one in nine games; defeating Georgia 28–17 during the November test window. They lost all games during the 2019 Six Nations Championship, finishing bottom of the table for the fourth year in a row, three times under O'Shea. At the 2019 Rugby World Cup, Italy were eliminated in the pool stage, finishing in third place in Pool B behind New Zealand and South Africa; although this granted them automatic qualification for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, O'Shea resigned in November 2019, six months before the end of his contract with the Italian Rugby Federation, to take a position as the Rugby Football Union's (England) director of performance.

The European Rugby Champions Cup is an annual rugby union tournament organised by European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR). It is the top-tier competition for clubs whose countries' national teams compete in the Six Nations Championship. Clubs qualify for the Heineken Champions Cup via their final positions in their respective national/regional leagues or via winning the second-tier Challenge Cup; those that do not qualify are instead eligible to compete in the second-tier Challenge Cup.
Here are the match results of the 2013 Rugby union season. Qualifiers for the 2015 Rugby World Cup, meanwhile the Six Nations Championship and The Rugby Championship are set for another season.
The European Rugby Challenge Cup is an annual European rugby union competition organised by European Professional Club Rugby (EPCR). It is the second-tier competition for European clubs behind the European Rugby Champions Cup. From its inception in 1996 to 2014, it was known as the European Challenge Cup and governed by European Rugby Cup (ERC). Following disagreements in the structure of the tournament's format and division of revenue, the English and French leagues withdrew to form the EPCR, which organized the Challenge Cup and the Champions Cup since the 2014–15 season.
The 2012–13 Harlequins season was a successful one, with Harlequins reaching the playoffs in the English Premiership and the knockout rounds of the Heineken Cup.
The 2015–16 European Rugby Challenge Cup was the second edition of the European Rugby Challenge Cup, an annual pan-European rugby union competition for professional clubs. It is also the 20th season of the Challenge Cup competition in all forms, following on from the now defunct European Challenge Cup. Due to the 2015 Rugby World Cup taking place during September and October 2015, the competition began slightly later than usual, with the first round of the group stage, on the weekend of 12/13/14/15 November 2015, and ended with the final on 13 May 2016 in Lyon.

The North Carolina State Bar has determined that New Hanover County attorney Wanda Copley can proceed with the censure and amotion of county commissioner Brian Berger as directed by the majority of the commission.
The process to remove Commissioner Brian Berger from the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners will continue April 22.
The North Carolina State Bar confirmed, after the April 8 meeting, that it is proper for county attorney Wanda Copley to proceed as directed
by the majority of the commission with the censure and process of amotion, the removal of a corporal officer from office.
Describing the common law process, the Campbell Law Review is being used as a reference.
“We’re following a similar process,” Chairman Woody White said. “We’re going to add some mechanisms to it to ensure fairness and due process and a full opportunity for Mr. Berger to offer his viewpoint of the allegations that we’re going to include.”
White said no official date has been set for the hearing, but it will probably be held within five to 10 days of the April 22 meeting, when the process is discussed with Berger.
“We’re a self-governed board, just as if it were a legislature or a congress or any other governing entity,” White said. “There’s no judicial process. We’re simply giving him due process of law as it relates to notice and an opportunity for him to be heard and so forth. There’s not a state statute that empowers or authorizes a court to intervene. … There has to be some basic level of mental competence to comprehend the data and materials and to make decisions. He’s incapable of doing that. I’m not a doctor. That’s just my opinion in dealing with him and watching him and listening to the things that he says and the way that he tries to convey his thoughts. … It is the right thing for the citizens of New Hanover to remove someone who is unfit, and I have heard universal support for that opinion anecdotally.”
Berger currently owes the county $287.16 for expenses related to travel that he requested, but failed to attend.
New Hanover County Republican Party Chairwoman Rhonda Amoroso said the GOP has not taken a position on the commission’s decision. Members are watching to see what happens.
“What we did do is we passed a resolution at our county convention a couple of weeks ago censuring Mr. Berger and asking him to step down immediately, based on his disorderly conduct and behavior,” she said.
If Berger is removed from the board, the party’s leadership committee will revisit the same short list used in December 2012 to make a recommendation for the seat vacated by former commissioner Rick Catlin.
“The county executive committee now looks a lot different than it did before our convention,” Amoroso said. “We have less people on it, so the balance is a little bit different, and the players are different. So that would probably result in a different outcome should we go through this process again.”
The executive committee was trimmed down from more than 130 to about 80 members at the March 23 county convention.
“I don’t think Mr. Berger will resign willingly,” Amoroso said. “I’m going to be following the process just like everybody else in town, and we will see what happens.”
Commissioner Jonathan Barfield Jr. left the April 8 meeting before the motion passed 3-1, but said he is currently neutral on the issue.
“My first choice would always be for him to step down,” Barfield said during a Monday, April 15 telephone interview. “In my heart of hearts, I think ultimately people elect people to serve. They should have the ability, if they want to, to recall them. I’m not sure that I want that power from a commissioner standpoint. I think that it could get way too political. … I don’t know that I want a board of county commissioners having that authority solely in their hands. I’m not sold on that one yet. And again, I just have to hear more, that’s all.”
Barfield was also a member of the former board, which asked Berger to resign in 2011.
“He held a press conference the next day, saying he wasn’t going to resign,” Barfield said. “And here we are in 2013 having the same issues.”
Phone calls to Berger for comment were not returned.
Recently instituted additional security measures at the county’s Government Center, including bag searches and metal detector checks, will continue no matter the outcome of the amotion process. The heightened security was instituted as a result of Berger’s uninvited after-hours visit to the county manager’s and county attorney’s offices and his unauthorized, personal delivery of a 10-page manifesto to Gov. Pat McCrory last month.

The remodeling of the bathroom is one of the projects related to the house most feared by all, horror overcome only by the remodeling of the kitchen. Whether it was because he played, because the bathroom aesthetically seemed too 80s or because some pipe exploded and made life bitter for us, the remodeling of the bathroom, especially if we have one, always brings us many problems.
Now, as with everything in life, we can see the issue of the bathroom as an annoyance or as an opportunity to have the bathroom that we deserve. The truth is that to have a spectacular bath, you do not need to spend fortunes as some may think. It does need a good designer or architect and good taste, but it is not necessary to have a bathroom made of marble to make it look fabulous.
A fun art of the process of remodeling the bathroom is to choose the bathroom accessories, which will be what will give personality and allow us to show our personality in the decoration. The bathrooms, unfortunately, can be spaces that due to their functionality, which is very specific, tend to be forgotten in terms of design and decoration. The result is that we ended up having super generic bathrooms, almost identical to each other, that do not tell us anything and are not even a little bit attractive.
On the other hand the bathroom is a place that should be total relaxation, where we spend every day in total solitude. The least we can do is indulge a little and try to make our bathroom look more like the spa of our dreams, so that the moments we spend in the, are the best of the day.
In this book, we will show you some baths that will inspire you and that range from the cheapest to the most expensive. Join us to meet them!
Remodeling of bathrooms
The problem with the bathrooms, is that when they start to lose water, this usually means that you have to break walls, the floor or all of the above. The good thing is that this can be an opportunity to give a new life to the bathroom. It is very fashionable to incorporate wood into this space and if we choose the varieties resistant to water, they look divine and give warmth to a space that is usually quite cold.
Coatings are a vital part of restroom remodeling. The blue marble for this bathroom make us evoke the ocean. This bathroom thanks to its coating leaves the pile from the first glance. You do not necessarily have to spend so much on a coating. Ceramics with geometric motifs, tiles, wood or any coating that is visually powerful serves.
Renovation of bathrooms
Once the bathrooms begin to give problems such as water loss, ceramics that break and moisture, it is best to reform them from head to toe and change the pipes if they are very old and in poor condition. Once what is not seen is ready, we can focus on the interior design and choose the siding, the type of tub, the sinks, etc.
Remodeling bathrooms without spending a fortune
An idea that we love to remodel bathrooms and not break in the attempt, is to use cement to create furniture for the bathroom, such as seats, shelves, dividing walls, etc. It is a very versatile and economic material that looks spectacular and that we can leave in its natural color, saving a lot of money in painting.
Remodeling small bathrooms
If the bathrooms are small, we can spend a little more on floor and wall coverings, as well as on certain parts such as sinks or screens. In small bathrooms, glass partitions are the best, since they do not create limits within the bathroom, they give a feeling that they are wider. The marble sinks, like the one in this bathroom, are not cheap, but they make all the difference.
Mix of styles in the bathroom
If we want to have a very original bathroom, let's opt for an eclectic decoration, which guarantees a unique space in its type. The use of furniture that is useful in the bathroom, but not the usual ones, can make a huge difference. In this bathroom the eclecticism turned out to be a success with details that go from the old furniture of wood, through the coating of floors and walls, the lamp, the shower of the shower and the photographs that adorn the walls.
Remodeling of rustic style bathrooms
Nothing better in a fifth weekend, than a bathroom that reflects the decoration of the house and its surroundings. The bathroom remodeling contractor Denver to adapt it to a specific style is a project that involves a lot of creativity. In this case, a bathroom divided into areas was created, designed to enjoy the incredible views and using an aesthetic and well-rustic materials.
Remodeling of luxurious bathrooms
If we have a large budget and enough space to create something similar to this image, then get down to work! This bathroom with modern lines and inspired lighting takes its wide proportions to be divided into areas, with separate tub and shower, double sinks and a mixture of ceramic and marble.
Bathrooms with outdoor spaces
In hot land you should not miss the opportunity to have a shower under the sun or the stars. The vegetation also has its place in a semi-covered bathroom and, of course, a decoration that accompanies, such as ceramics with novel motifs and wood.

The father of David Hicks claimed yesterday that he has also been gagged from talking to the media about his son's time as an enemy combatant.
Terry Hicks said he had received a letter from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade which outlined restrictions on what his family could reveal about their conversations with David.
The letter also allegedly detailed his son's 12-month-gag order, which was issued as part of a plea bargain for him to serve only nine more months in jail.
David reportedly cannot be interviewed, write a book or make a film about his five-year incarceration in the US military prison at Guantanamo Bay for the next 12 months — until after the next federal election.
"This is Big Brother and because the Americans and the Australian Government coalesce on David's charges, at this point in time we're ruled by them," Terry Hicks told The Australian yesterday.
"If David tells us something, we can't pass it on.
"But I could still talk about the signing of his charges, things like he hasn't been abused."
A DFAT spokesman denied Terry's claims. "We have not written to Terry Hicks since the verdict," the spokesman said.
"We communicated via email to his sister and provided two publicly available documents."
DFAT reportedly e-mailed Terry's daughter Stephanie, providing a statement of facts and a copy of Hicks's pre-trial agreement.
Terry told the newspaper that his son's legal team was examining the contents of the letter.
The 31-year-old Australian pleaded guilty in a plea bargain with US authorities last Monday to providing material support to terrorists.
Reports emerged last night that in addition to the gag-order, Hicks will also be pressed to divulge al-Qaeda secrets in a new round of interviews with American interrogators about his links with the terror group.
"Steps were taken this morning to introduce David to the interrogators here at Guantanamo," Hicks' Adelaide-based lawyer, David McLeod, told reporters at Guantanamo.
"There will be a process which will unfold before he leaves where he'll be asked to co-operate in relation to a number of issues."
US and Australian authorities hope Hicks will offer up fresh information about his dealings with al-Qaeda, the terror group headed by Osama bin Laden and who Hicks trained and fought with in Afghanistan in 2001.
Australian investigators will interview him when he returns to his homeland.
In the plea deal, Hicks agreed to "co-operate fully, completely and truthfully in post-trial briefings and interviews as directed by competent US or Australian law enforcement and intelligence authorities".
"He's simply been asked to co-operate and he's proposing to do so," McLeod said.
Hicks' family and his lawyers had claimed during Hicks' five years in US custody he had been tortured, but in the plea deal Hicks agreed to declare he had "never been illegally treated by any person or persons while in the custody and control of the United States".
McLeod seemed to contradict that.
Asked if the new round of interrogations at Guantanamo would be in the same format as the previous interrogators, McLeod replied: "Well, hopefully without the torture this time".
When a reporter pointed out Hicks had said in the plea deal he had not been illegally treated, McLeod said: "He did. Next question".
McLeod also said that Hicks could return to Guantanamo as a witness in other military commissions as he has also agreed to provide "complete and accurate" testimony under oath at military commissions, international tribunals, grand juries and other proceedings.
The Australian and US governments were continuing to negotiate Hicks' return to Australia, most likely to Adelaide, where he will serve his nine-month prison sentence.
"It would be possible within the next few weeks, I would think," McLeod said about when Hicks may walk on Australian soil again.
The 31-year-old is due for release from prison on New Year's Eve.

Prepare to be outraged: A white male shopper at a grocery store in Cobb County, Georgia, told Erica Thomas, a pregnant black woman and state legislator, to go back to where she came from.

"People need to see the hate that is going on in this country," a tearful Thomas told her Facebook followers in a heart-wrenching video. [Taken Down by Facebook]
Are you angry yet? Well, you were fooled. The above account was one-sided and misleading, and now even Thomas has suggested that she can't actually recall if the man, Eric Sparkes, literally told her to go back to where she came from, or merely said other unpleasant things.
Moreover, Sparkes claims he is a Cuban and an anti-Trump Democrat. This was more than enough new information for some people to file this incident under hate hoaxes and consign Thomas to the status of a Jussie Smollett or Nathan Phillips (whose sins were far greater).

Santa Cruz’s historical hate-crime hoax - In the 142 years since the hanging of two murderers from the Water Street bridge, no one has produced a scintilla of evidence to indicate that the lynching had a racial motivation.

Oil falls towards $42 after weak US jobs data
Oil fell towards $42 a barrel on Friday, sinking to its lowest level since January 2005, after a US government report showed more than half a million Americans lost their jobs last month.business Updated: Dec 05, 2008 20:33 IST
Oil fell towards $42 a barrel on Friday, sinking to its lowest level since January 2005, after a US government report showed more than half a million Americans lost their jobs last month.
US employers axed payrolls by a shocking 533,000 in November for the weakest performance in 34 years, government data showed.
US light crude plunged to $42.05 a barrel after the figures were released and by 1346 GMT was trading at $42.36, down $1.31.
London Brent crude was off $1.20 at $41.08.
Many dealers and analysts expect oil to test the psychologically important $40 a barrel level fairly soon as evidence mounts of a significant decline in oil demand in all the major developed economies.
US and European companies announced further job cuts on Thursday, with U.S. phone company AT&T Inc saying it would eliminate 12,000 jobs, while chemical maker DuPont Co planned to drop 2,500.
Leading US retailers also reported dismal November sales on Thursday. Totting up the results, the International Council of Shopping Centers said sales fell by a record 2.7 percent compared to the same period last year.
To try and ginger up their feeble economies, European central banks cut interest rates on Thursday.
Sweden's central bank cut by a record 175 basis points, the European Central Bank cut by 75 points and the Bank of England cut by 100 points.
The price fall to nearly four-year lows has prompted OPEC members to call for increasingly strong action when the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries meets next, on Dec. 17 in Algeria.
OPEC President Chakib Khelil told Algerian state television on Thursday that the oil-producing group should cut oil output by a significant amount at the meeting if prices remain at their current level.
But analysts say another OPEC cut, the third since September, would need to be drastic to provoke a price reaction.
"Cumulatively, OPEC is behind the curve by 4-5 million barrels per day (bpd). They really need to cut by 2.5 to 3 million barrels to have any impact on prices at the next meeting. Less than 1.5 million will mean another sell off," Edward Meir, commodities analyst at MF Global said.

City officials said the gazebo at Lawnridge Park was torn down last week because it was in danger of falling down. They are now exploring what to replace it with.
There's currently just a patch of mulch on the ground where the gazebo, a fixture at the park in northwest Grants Pass since the early 1980s, once sat. Read More »
Fourth graders from Evergreen Elementary School in Cave Junction use music books from the "Get America Singing Again" program, which had been defunct for a few years, to sing with professional musician Kris Wildman every Friday. Even teachers Kelly Bethke, left, and Chris Green, right, join in.

Is This Video Of A Chinese Couple Boning In A Uniqlo Changing Room The Best Viral Marketing Stunt Of All-Time?
Not according to clothing manufacturer Uniqlo, who would have you believe that a minute-long video of a couple doing it doggy-style in a changing room at one of their store in Beijing is not a modern advertising campaign.
They had this to say about the matter.
“As a responsible international brand, Uniqlo is dedicated to providing consumers with safe, comfortable and quality shopping experiences and locations. We would like to remind all customers to abide by society’s moral standard… and properly and appropriately use our fitting rooms.”
Of course, any major international brand worth its salt would deny a guerrilla marketing tactic like this.
Let me explain. For those who are unfamiliar with it, Uniqlo is a massive clothing brand based out of Japan that draws favorable comparisons to Target for its good quality clothes at a reasonable price.
In a Beijing Uniqlo this week, a couple fucked pretty good for a bit in a changing room then threw the romp online, a video you can find pretty easily by going to one of your favorite pornography sites (might I suggest Pornhub?) and typing in “Uniqlo.”
After the footage became widespread, sales at Uniqlos throughout China have skyrocketed. From CNN:
Some Chinese Internet users speculated the footage was a marketing ploy by Uniqlo, prompting the Japan-based company to issue a statement denying any involvement.
But the video did more than just turn heads online. On Wednesday evening, a steady stream of visitors took selfies outside Uniqlo’s flagship store in Beijing, a glass modernist building decorated with the company’s red logo.
All six of the customers CNN spoke with inside the store said they were browsing the aisles and looking for the infamous fitting room purely because of the sex video.
“I never heard of Uniqlo before the clip,” said a university student, shopping for printed T-shirts who asked only to be identified by his last name Zhang.
Go watch the video, then come back to the comments and tell me what you think. If it is a ploy, it’s a damn ballsy one, and I have to tip my hat.
It could also just be a couple of Chinese kids who really wanted to fuck somewhere public, film it, then let the whole world see.
Which makes more sense in 2015? I honestly don’t know. Police are investigating the matter.

Setting up a new website and using a new theme can be quite daunting. But, I’ve taken the plunge at learning a whole new level of skills and given it a shot. This is not my first blog, but it is my first attempt at combining the look and feel of a website, along with the comfort and usefulness of a blog.
When I embarked on a new adventure in my life like I did back in 2007, I did not realise or really know where it might lead me. They say it’s not the destination, but the journey, and I’ll have to agree with that statement. I left full time teaching to go back to uni after a twenty-one year absence and I was immediately plunged into a whole new world that pushed me to ever increasing limits and the feeling was exhilerating. It made me feel alive. I undertook a post-graduate diploma in creative writing and it opened up so many different avenues and areas in my life.
I won’t bombard you with everything all at once, but I will share some of these moments at times when I feel the urge or need to make a point.
But, one thing I’d like to say…it’s never to late to make a change and the chances are it might be a little rough at times and it might take you out of your comfort zone, but the results can be so rewarding.
Anyway, it’s worth a shot.


WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, OH (WOIO) - Warrensville Heights Police have arrested both suspects in the death of 18-year-old Elizabeth Marie O'Brien at the Econo Lodge on Northfield Road last week.
Police arrested 18-year-old Octavius Hudson at his home on Wednesday without incident. The second suspect, 19-year-old Marcellus Lawrence Webster, turned himself in to police on Thursday.
"We would like to thank the public and the media for their assistance," said Chief of Police Wesley Haynes. "Your cooperation aided us in bringing swift justice to Ms. O'Brien's case."
On July 17, Warrensville Heights Police responded to a shooting at the Northfield Road Econo Lodge around 4:30 a.m. Upon arrival, police discovered O'Brien's body. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner later ruled the cause of death as a result of a gunshot wound.

Democratic Poll Has Kirkpatrick Losing by Three Points
ICYMI . . .
From Paton for Congress:
If you missed Sunday Square Off yesterday, you missed a big golden nugget of information about the race in Arizona’s First District.
Chris Herstam, 12 News Political Insider, revealed on Sunday Square Off that he has seen a Democrat-commissioned poll showing that Ann Kirkpatrick is three points down, which corresponds to the NRCC poll showing Kirkpatrick five points down. He went on to postulate that the momentum is clearly in Jonathan Paton’s favor, and with early voting started, he is likely to win this seat.
Here is what Herstam had to say in full:
“Last week I saw three different polls in congressional races. Two of them up in CD 1 – a Democratic poll that had Kirkpatrick losing by three points and a Republican poll that had Kirkpatrick losing by five points. The momentum has clearly shifted. I thought this was Kirkpatrick’s seat and that she would regain it but the momentum is clearly with Jonathan Paton and it sure looks like, with early voting starting now, that he’s going to win.”

I’ve resisted the whole smartwatch / fitness tracker thing for a while now. At some point a few years ago, my wife bought a fairly simple one that I ended up using until I lost it.
Recently, I decided I needed another one as I’ve been starting add exercise into my routine. In July of 2018, I ended up getting a Mi Band 2. Had some basic support for notifications from my phone, tracks sleep, and steps, and it was pretty cheap: under $30. Also, it easily lasted over two weeks on a single charge.
In April, I decided I needed to up my game a bit, so I bought a Mi Band 3. It was a little bit bigger, had slightly better sensors in it for sleep and heart rate tracking while working out, still about $30, and still amazing battery life.
A recent software update made the whole process of syncing the band with my iPhone a bit of a pain in the ass. In a couple cases, it completely forgot workouts I did. During workouts, it would stop syncing with my iPhone so I couldn’t track my heart rate. Or, if I initiate a workout from the band itself, I could easily monitor my heart rate, but it wouldn’t track my location or reflect the kind of workout I was doing.
When I was just doing stuff on the treadmill, this wasn’t a huge deal. Since I moved onto walking and running outside, I found that having this stuff “just work” to be of high value.
As I started looking at the other fitness trackers out there, I realized the price for anything else I’d consider getting was basically in the same price range as an Apple Watch. Sure, they might have better battery life and have possibly better fitness features, but let’s face it: anything other than Apple products are second class citizens in the Apple world.
So, I bought an Apple Watch 4. I probably should have done it ages ago, but I finally did it. And I have to say, so far, I’m not regretting the purchase.
One of the things I was afraid of with an Apple Watch is that I’d be seeing notifications on my wrist. I had tuned down my notifications on my iPhone ages ago so I wasn’t getting many to begin with. I tuned it down further with the Apple Watch, both on the phone itself and, in some cases, specific to the Apple Watch.
I do appreciate the gamification the Watch has around keeping moving. “Closing your rings” is definitely a thing for me. I set a “moderate” fitness goal, which has me burning 700 calories, exercising at least 30 minutes, and standing at least one minute every hour for 12 hours of the day. You get gentle nudges to “stand up” and even “breathe” for a moment.
At least for the first week or so, I’ve had no trouble meeting these goals. We’ll see how this works when shiny metal tubes are involved.
The main concern I had with the Apple Watch was battery life. The good news is that getting through an entire day hasn’t been a problem so far. It would be much better if it could go several days between charges, something the Mi Band 2 and 3 both do quite easily.
While there are sleep tracking apps for the Apple Watch, it hardly makes sense to use them given the battery situation. This is where the Mi Band is still proving useful as I can wear it overnight to get an idea of how well I slept (or didn’t).
I may pick up a Mi Band 4 for curiosity sake as it appears to have added a lot more to the package while maintaining roughly the same price point. No chance it will replace my Apple Watch, but for those who are looking for an inexpensive fitness tracker with some basic notification support, it may still be just the thing.

Maybe Putin’s spies were onto something.
In June 2015—nine months before targeting the Hillary Clinton campaign, and a full year before the world learned about their hacking of the DNC—Russia’s military intelligence division tried to hack the accounts of journalists, including a number of Daily Beast reporters and alumni.
Most of the other targets were at far larger, more entrenched media outfits. But the Beast was fast becoming known for a ferocious style of reporting—grabbing every scoop it could, and causing mischief for thugs like Putin along the way. Maybe that’s why the Kremlin’s digital propaganda arms, Russia Today and Sputnik, targeted us dozens of times in 2015 and 2016. Maybe that’s why the Russians’ allies in the disinformation campaign, Infowars, screamed that we were “neocons,” and went after the Beast again and again and again.
It wasn’t completely clear then—at least, not to us—how just how explosive The Daily Beast’s formula of high-octane reporting and no-fucks ethos could be. Maybe the conspiracy nuts and the Kremlin goons understood something we didn’t.
Things started to come into focus, though, when a reality television star lowered himself down a golden escalator to scream about Mexican rapists in front of a paid throng. His fixer warned us to “tread very fucking lightly” the next month. Then his campaigned blacklisted us. Then he started winning.
Hunter S. Thompson had a saying: “when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” Things got weird in a hurry. Luckily, the Beast always had a little bit of a freaky side—as obsessed with sleaze TV as with high-minded affairs of state. It fit the times. We busted Trump for his use of illegal labor and his 9/11 lies. We analyzed his hair and the way it “shimmers with product, [like] the thin chains of a classy necklace you might gift your third wife.” We uncovered his tolerance of sex assault on the set of The Apprentice. We unveiled the hidden hand behind a National Enquirer hit job, and talked to a porn star who got an icky proposition from Trump while he was in a hotel room with Stormy Daniels.
It wasn’t about picking a political side. It still isn’t. Democrats and Republicans in Washington have worked to jack up inequality. Obama and Trump made targeting journalists a priority for their Justice Departments. Presidents of both parties have taken disastrous actions that undermined America's standing in the world—invading Iraq, withdrawing from the Paris accords, letting Syria burn. The Daily Beast is not just going to sit on its hands while the corrupt and the clueless crash this country. Like my predecessor and brother-in-arms John Avlon likes to say, non-partisan doesn’t mean neutral. Free speech, free expression, freedom from prejudice, and the rule of law—these are American ideals. We’ll stand up for them, no matter where the attacks comes from.
It’s not even about politics, at least not completely. We’re in the middle of a cultural tug-of-war, too. And the Beast isn’t going to stay on the sidelines. In the years leading up to the #MeToo era, we exposed one Hollywood creep after another. We unmasked Silicon Valley rich boys as shitposters and wife-beaters. We championed the breakthrough artists standing up for human dignity—from Beyoncé to Aretha. And we stood up for common sense, when celebrities and major corporations kept peddling pseudoscience. (Gwyneth, for the love of God, leave America’s genitals alone.)
Meanwhile, we kept tearing off the camouflage concealing the attack on American democracy. We revealed accused Russian spy Maria Butina’s infiltration of the conservative movement. With software sleuthing and classic reporting, the Beast discovered Russian-led rallies on U.S. soil and showed how “Guccifer 2.0,” the self-proclaimed DNC hacker, accidentally unmasked himself as Russian military intelligence officer. We never found out if he was the one who tried to hack us. But congressional investigators told us privately that our reports suggested new avenues to explore. Information that we first revealed became part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictments of the Kremlin troll farm and of the Russian intelligence officers who digital broke into the DNC. A few months later, the feds arrested Butina; she tried to claim that she couldn’t possibly be a spy, because she stayed in the United States after The Daily Beast exposed her.
Helping this team in its detective work has been a singular thrill. I’m not gonna lie, though—it hasn’t been easy. The digital journalism game has never been easy. The triumphs are eclipsed at the speed of the internet, and the mistakes spread even faster. The economics have gone from brutal to are-you-kidding-me. We’re lucky if we go consecutive days without a threat from a Moscow oligarch, a corporate potentate, or a Washington baron.
But digital reporting—in particular, the Beast’s brand of digital reporting—has never been more important. The lies coming out of Washington and Silicon Valley are produced in such quantity and such a pace that an old-school approach to journalism simply can’t keep up. The world is so dark so often that a staid recitation of the day’s horrors will cause audiences to turn the news off altogether. Journalism today has to paint in bright colors, have a sense of wit, and give up any attachments to the powerful. It’s gonzo or go home.
No wonder the media landscape has started to tilt in the Beast’s direction. Our columnist Rick Wilson’s book recently hit #1 on the best-seller list, and our “McScam” yarn touched off a Hollywood bidding war for the ages. Some of the big papers are now cool with calling a lie a lie. They even run headlines on occasion that are no longer designed to put you to sleep. Calling bullshit on fake science and fake news has become almost a media cliche.
But while these media titans are doing remarkable, iconic work—another Pulitzer-level investigation every few days, it seems—they’re never going to have our underdog sensibilities, our voracious appetite, or our willingness to embrace the weird. They homogenize their reporters; we celebrate their eccentricity. They keep their journalists in narrow lanes; we beg our writers to roam free.
That's what allows our journalists to do what they’re meant to do—pursue and expose the truth against those who'd conceal and pervert it. Here’s the thing, though. We can’t do this alone.
The next phase of The Beast relies on you—your tips, your interest, your willingness to join our team. We busted a Silicon Valley favorite, uncovered an ugly episode from Omarosa’s shady past, and nailed down the #MeToo allegations at NBC News, all because readers pointed us in the right direction. We need you to keep those tips coming. When we dispatch writers to cartel country or Melania’s hometown or to meet the mustache dancer of Allahabad, that takes real resources. When you join our membership program, Beast Inside, it helps ensure our ability to send journalists to the world’s backstreets and dark alleys. It steels us when the next wave of state-sponsored hackers and trolls come after us. Tina Brown and Barry Diller planted a remarkable seed 10 years ago—something glossy, saucy, scrappy, speedy, and altogether new. Let’s keep it growing together.


The Honda SH350i Sport 2024 certainly marks its territory with a 330.00 cc engine that is Euro 5 compliant and liquid-cooled. The scooter manages to generate 29 Ps at 7,500rpm and a torque output of 31.5Nm at 5,250rpm. These specifications give it an edge in terms of road presence and agility.
From a utility standpoint, the scooter includes a USB socket, which is a thoughtful addition for modern riders. The fuel gauge and temperature gauge are practical for daily use, while the pointer-type display maintains a classic feel. The Honda SMART Key indicator adds a layer of security, and the fuel consumption gauge serves as a handy tool for monitoring efficiency.

Even though LG is known for making high-quality equipment, your LG dishwasher may have a problem that keeps it from working right. If the dishwasher has a problem, it should show you an error code that tells you what the problem is. By reading our guide to LG dishwasher error codes, you can figure out what’s wrong and maybe even fix it yourself. If you don’t know how to fix the problem, call LG Customer Service to arrange a service team to do it for you.
Most of the time, you can get rid of error codes by turning off the power to the dishwasher for a few minutes.
LG dishwasher error codes
list of common LG dishwasher error codes along with their meanings:
- OE Error Code: This error indicates a drain problem. It means that the dishwasher is not able to drain water properly.
- LE Error Code: The LE error code suggests a motor or circulation pump issue. The dishwasher might be unable to spray water during the wash cycle.
- FE Error Code: An FE error points to a water inlet problem. It occurs when the dishwasher is not getting enough water supply.
- HE Error Code: This error indicates a heating problem. The dishwasher’s water is not reaching the desired temperature during the wash cycle.
- IE Error Code: The IE error code signals a water inlet issue. The dishwasher is not getting enough water to perform the wash cycle.
- TE Error Code: TE error means a problem with the dishwasher’s thermistor or temperature sensor. It can’t detect the water temperature properly.
- LE1 Error Code: The LE1 error is related to a water leakage issue. The dishwasher’s leak sensor detects water at the base.
- AE Error Code: AE error signifies a leak in the dishwasher. Water leakage has been detected.
- FE Error Code: The FE error code points to a float error. The dishwasher’s float assembly might be stuck or not working correctly.
- PE Error Code: This error indicates a problem with the dishwasher’s circulation pump. It might not be working correctly.
- CE Error Code: The CE error code suggests a communication problem between the dishwasher’s main control board and display panel.
- PF Error Code: PF error means a power failure occurred during the dishwasher’s operation.
- E1 Error Code: The E1 error points to a water leakage issue detected by the dishwasher’s leak sensor.
- E2 Error Code: An E2 error signifies a problem with the dishwasher’s temperature sensor or thermistor.
- E3 Error Code: The E3 error code indicates a problem with the dishwasher’s water heater.
WHAT DOES A BUZZING SOUND MEAN?
When the dishwasher door is opened, if it makes a buzzing sound, that means the inside is very hot. This alarm will probably go off if you open the dishwasher right after a run is done. If it’s not because of the high temperature, you may need to change the control board or the temperature sensor.
WHAT DOES 2H MEAN?
If your LG dishwasher shows the number 2H, it is not an error code. Instead, it means that the run still has at least two hours to go. When there are less than 99 minutes left, the 2H will change to 99 and start counting down until the cycle is over.
WHAT DOES CL STAND FOR?
CL means that the child lock or control lock on the dishwasher has been turned on. The instructions for turning off the child lock or control lock vary from model to model, so you may need to look in the guidebook to find out how to do it. But if your dishwasher has a Dual Zone button, hold it down for three seconds to turn the child lock on and off.
On many LG dishwashers, you can turn on the child lock by choosing a mode and pressing and holding the Rinse and Spray buttons for three seconds.
LG DISHWASHER ERROR CODES AE: POSSIBLE LEAK
If your LG dishwasher gives you an AE error code, it may be leaking. If you can’t find any signs of a leak, there may be too much water in the bottom of the dishwasher. Usually, there is a basin and a leak gauge under the bottom panel.
When a dishwasher leaks or the leak alarm goes off, it’s often because too much detergent was used, the spray arms were broken, the door gasket was broken, or a hose or pump was clogged.
BE: WRONG DETERGENT OR THE DISHWASHER IS NOT LEVEL
If the detergent is not right for the dishwasher, like if you used dish soap instead of washing detergent, a bE error code may show up on the screen. Even if you used the right soap, the dishwasher might not be level. Make sure the dishwasher is level by using a tool for levelling. Fix the problem by adjusting the legs that keep the dishwasher level.
If there are a lot of soap suds in the dishwasher, it means the wrong detergent was used, and the bE error number will be shown. LG says to put a bowl with 4–7 ounces of milk on the upper dish rack and run the dishwasher on Auto to get rid of the suds.
CE: MACHINE MISTAKE
A CE error number on an LG dishwasher means that the motor is broken or that the wiring harness for the motor is loose. You might be able to get rid of the error code and keep using the dishwasher if you turn off the power to it for ten seconds. But if the error code comes back, the motor and its wiring harness will need to be checked, fixed, or changed in order to keep the error code from coming back.
E1: POSSIBLE LEAK
See trouble code AE above.
FE: FILL ERROR
If your LG dishwasher shows the number FE, it means that there is too much water in it. Most of the time, this error code is caused by a broken water inlet valve, a broken float switch, or a draining problem.
HE: HEATER FAILURE
If your LG dishwasher gives you a HE error code, it means that it couldn’t heat the water or that the water temperature was higher than 149 degrees Fahrenheit. Most likely, the heating element in the dishwasher has broken and will need to be changed to fix the problem.
I.E.: WATER SUPPLY IS SLOW OR NOT ENOUGH
An LG dishwasher IE error number means that after ten minutes of filling, the water level was not high enough. The error code could be caused by low water flow, a drain hose that wasn’t put in correctly, or a dishwasher that isn’t level.
LE: MOTOR ERROR
An LG dishwasher LE motor mistake means that the motor is broken. See trouble code CE above.
NE: VARIO MOTOR ERROR
A nE error number on an LG dishwasher means that the motor that controls the spray arms is broken. Most of the time, the nE error number can be fixed by turning the power off for a few minutes.
But if the error code comes back, you’ll need to use a voltmeter to check the motor to see if it’s broken and needs to be replaced. Before you replace the motor, make sure the error code isn’t caused by a loose wiring cable or something else that is getting in the way of the motor.
OE: DRAINAGE PROBLEM
If you see “OE” on the screen of your LG dishwasher, it’s having trouble clearing. Checking for food particles in the bottom of the dishwasher or in the dishwasher filter, making sure the drain hose isn’t kinked or blocked, checking the air gap, or making sure the drain pump isn’t clogged or broken can fix the error code.
PF: POWER FAILURE
If your LG dishwasher gives you a PF error code, it means that the power has been cut off. It can happen if the power goes out or if the dishwasher doesn’t have a specific circuit breaker at 120 volts, 60 hertz, AC only, and at least 15 amps. The PF error number can also happen if you use an extension cord to power the dishwasher or if the dishwasher is not grounded.
Most of the time, you can get rid of the error code by hitting any key on the control panel and waiting 10 seconds. If that doesn’t work, try taking the power out for a few minutes.
A TE error number on an LG dishwasher means that the water temperature is above 194 degrees Fahrenheit or that the thermistor is broken. Most of the time, you’ll need to change the thermistor to fix the problem.
If you see an error code on your LG dishwasher, you should consult the dishwasher’s manual to determine the specific cause of the error. In some cases, you may be able to fix the problem yourself. However, if you are not comfortable troubleshooting dishwashers, you should contact a qualified technician for assistance.
