Mother Forgives Police Officer Who Shot Her Unarmed Son
An unarmed Jonathan Ferrell, 24, was shot and killed by a cop on Saturday.
Sept. 16, 2013 -- The mother of a former Florida A&M University football player killed in a barrage of 10 bullets by a police officer while apparently looking for help after a crashing his car said that she forgives the officer and wishes him the best.
"You caused a great loss to my heart," Georgia Ferrell said at a news conference today as she clutched a Winnie the Pooh bear beloved by her son. "You took a piece of my heart that never can be put back, but I do forgive you. I truly forgive you and wish you the best with your life and turning it over to God."
Ferrell's son Jonathan Ferrell, 24, sought help at a woman's home after a car crash early Saturday morning, but the woman called 911 reporting a strange man outside her door.
"As the officers approached him just to determine it is the individual, what's going on, he just immediately takes off and runs toward a particular officer, and that officer attempted to retreat but at the same the same time fired his weapon," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Rodney Moore said.
Police said Officer Thornell Little deployed his CMPD issued Taser at Ferrell but it was unsuccessful.
Officer Randall Kerrick shot at Ferrell 12 times and 10 of the shots hit him, police said.
Ferrell, who played safety at FAMU, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Kerrick turned himself in and was charged with voluntary manslaughter. Police determined the shooting was "excessive" and that Kerrick "did not have a lawful right to discharge his weapon."
Ferrell's mother and brother, Georgia and Willie Ferrell, traveled from their home in Florida to join their attorney Christopher Chestnut at a news conference in Charlotte, N.C., today.
"I'm somewhat numb," Georgia Ferrell said of losing her son. "I want him back. I want my son to bury me. I don't want to bury him."
Jonathan Ferrell moved to Charlotte from Florida a year ago and was working two jobs to pay for himself to go back to school. He was engaged to be married.
"I wanted grandchildren," his emotional mother said. "He promised me grandchildren years ago, but I guess that's out."
She described her son as a "very uplifting, happy person" who "wouldn't hurt anyone" and had a tendency for taking in stray animals.
"I had to teach Jonathan that worms were not our friends because Mama is scared of them," Georgia Ferrell said with a smile.
"He was one of the most magnificent individuals I ever came in contact with," Jonathan Ferrell's brother Willie said. "Jonathan was never the type of person to harm nobody."
Chestnut praised the police chief for acting quickly with arresting and charging Kerrick.
"We applaud the chief for acting swiftly. That was a bold move. It is unprecedented for a chief to move so quickly in not only suspending an officer, but arresting him," Chestnut said. "You take away the badge from this officer. This was murder. This was manslaughter."
Chestnut also represents the family of Robert Champion, the former FAMU drum major who was hazed to death in 2011.
While the NAACP and ACLU have both commented on Ferrell's death, Chestnut suggested pausing before jumping to conclusions.
"Before we race to assign race to this issue, perhaps we should pause and consider violence," he said.
Kerrick, 27, of Midland, turned himself in for booking Saturday evening and was released on $50,000 bond, according to the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's Office website.
Kerrick, who joined the police force in April 2011, is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Tuesday.

Several studies have demonstrated that in the first stage of an inflationary cycle, equities tend to perform well. Signs of a pick-up in inflation are often the consequence of an improving economic backdrop.
Equities should provide some hedge against inflation, since a company's profit should grow at the same rate as inflation after a period of adjustment. A previous Candriam study confirmed that economic recovery, and thus sound price inflation (so no deflation of hyperinflation) is generally beneficial to equity's valuations. The price-earnings of the equity market tends to be positively impacted when inflation is between 1% and 4%.

Xbox 360™
Brütal Legend
Product Description
From the mind of Tim Schafer and Double Fine Productions comes Brütal Legend , a 3rd person Action game rich in combat, imagery and storytelling that delivers lighter-flicking fun sure to melt your face clean off.
Brütal Legend tells the tale Eddie Riggs, the ultimate roadie. The "roadie's roadie", Eddie is the 1st person anyone calls when they need guitars tuned or stages rigged. With a love for hot rods and a photographic memory for every Heavy Metal album cover, and the lyrics those albums contained, committed to memory, Eddie has always felt out of place, like he should have been born earlier, when the music was real.
One night a stage accident knocks Eddie unconscious. With his blood dripping into the belt buckle he wears, a gift from his father, his blood quenches an ancient thirst that sucks him into a world that looks very strange yet oddly familiar, a world where every Heavy Metal album cover and lyric Eddie knows has come to life, a world where the evil emperor Doviculus and his demon army, The Tainted Coil, have enslaved the last remaining humans.
Led by Lars Halford alongside his sister Lita and the mysterious Ophelia, the human resistance is far from helpless. However, what they lack is someone to bring them all together; someone who can organize them and lead them into battle, what they need is a roadie. Under Eddie's command, this barbaric force of hot-rods, Marshall stacks, leather, and chrome will bring this ancient world into the age of Metal.

Nothing Like The Holidays
Nothing Like The Holidays
Release Date: 10/27/2009
John Leguizamo, Debra Messing, Luis Guzman, Alfred Molina, Freddy Rodriguez, and Jay Hernandez star. Extras include featurette, blooper reel, audio commentary, digital copy of the film, picture-in-picture, and exclusive with cast.
Actors:Jay Hernandez,Alfred Molina,Debra Messing,Vanessa Ferlito,John Leguizamo,Freddy Rodriguez
Description:If there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's that family time isn't always a walk in the park. In Nothing Like the Holidays, two of today's most talented actors, John Leguizamo (The Happening, The Take) and Freddy Rodriguez (Six Feet Under, Bobby), join Debra Messing (Will & Grace, The Starter Wife), Alfred Molina (The Da Vinci Code, Spider-Man 2), and director Alfredo de Villa (the award-winning Washington Heights) to tell the humorous and heartwarming story of one unforgettable family holiday. It's Christmastime and the far-flung members of the Rodriguez family are converging at their parents' home in Chicago to celebrate the season and rejoice in their youngest brother's safe return from combat overseas. For Jesse (Freddy Rodriguez), coming home has rekindled feelings for an old flame, although she can't seem to forgive him for leaving. His older sister Roxanna, a struggling actress, has been chasing her Hollywood dreams for years with little to show for it. And much to the dismay of their mother Anna (Elizabeth Pena), eldest brother Mauricio (John Leguizamo) brings home a high-powered executive wife (Debra Messing) who would rather raise capital than a child. In the course of one eventful week, traditions will be celebrated, secrets revealed and major life decisions made. It all begins when Anna announces to her children she is divorcing their father Eduardo (Alfred Molina). The shock waves from this familial upheaval prompt Roxanna, Mauricio and Jesse, each in their own way, to reevaluate the past and rethink the future. But when the Rodriguezes learn that one of their own is facing a true crisis, they instinctively pull together: Old resentments are forgotten, familial bonds are re-affirmed and the healing power of laughter works its magic as the family discovers they are much stronger than they ever realized.

We haven't heard anything lately about the Wrinkle in Time movie that was announced a year ago, but at least cartoonist Hope Larson (Mercury) is adapting it into a graphic novel in time for its 50th anniversary next year.
At the Larson spotlight panel at Wondercon, she was asked how she got this plum assignment. According to Comic Book Resources:
Having been met by a few audible gasps when she mentioned that she would be adapting " A Wrinkle in Time" earlier in the panel, Larson explained how her involvement in the project came about. Jokingly referring to "a dinky little interview" a year ago when she suggested that it would be the only other author's work she could see her self adapting, she was contacted by the publisher and the estate of "Madeline L'Engle." "I just can't imagine a book that fit me as well as that one," she said. "I wanted to be the one who was gonna screw it up."
The project was announced last August, and at the time Larson told Comic Book Resources the resulting graphic novel would be nearly 400 pages:
I knew when I signed on to Wrinkle, before I even started writing the script, that the book was going to be a monster. It's 200 pages of prose, and when you're working with such a beloved story you can't go in and start cutting and abridging as you please.
So far, the only image we've seen is the above illustration of Meg Murry. Can't wait to see the rest!

What happened to Black business loans?
During the 2000 Presidential Election, President George W. Bush made a written pledge to the National Black Chamber of Commerce® (NBCC). He claimed that he would focus on the doors leading to increased capital access for minority businesses. To our astonishment, he delivered on that pledge while Candidate Al Gore refused to make such a pledge. Thus, begun eight years of positive growth in Small Business Administration (SBA) lending.
The above activity soon began to disappear for two reasons: The effects of the subprime mortgage crisis and the lethargic activity coming out of the Obama SBA. President Obama figured the quick fix would be more and more regulation. In 2010, he signed the Dodd-Frank Amendment which poured "mountains" of paperwork and rules for our banking institutions. The push back was major banks began refusing to underwrite small loans, inclusive of the guaranteed SBA loans. When President Bush stepped down the SBA was doing over 8 percent in loans to Black businesses. Today, under the Obama apathy and immense regulations, the SBA is doing less than 1.8 percent in lending to Black businesses.
Federal Reserve settle up with hike in interest rates this winter
By prolonging its policy of targeting interest rates at zero, the Federal Reserve spared the country from half or more of the damage to the US economy that would have followed the steep rise in the dollar over the past year, Fed Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer said Thursday evening.
A Reuters poll published on Tuesday showed a 70 percent chance the us central bank would raise its short-term lending rate at its December 15-16 meeting, after a stronger-than-expected jobs report last week.
Federal Reserve officials stressed that policy should be tightened gradually after interest rates are increased for the first time since 2006, in an attempt to shift investors focus as NY Fed President William C. Dudley said the conditions for liftoff could soon be satisfied. The presentations and discussions of the 12 academic papers on the conference program will surely provide a foundation for what I expect will be a stimulating discussion of important topics over the next two days.
I have been an advocate of ending the Federal Open Market Committees (FOMCs) near-zero nominal interest rate policy. Looking ahead the Board forecasts that inflation will continue at a low level, due mainly to the effects of the low oil prices.
Lacker said it was too soon to tell whether the Fed had waited so long to raise rates that it would now need to act even more quickly in order to control inflation.
More specifically, before raising rates, I would like to have more confidence than I do today that inflation is indeed beginning to head higher.
Fischer said that while the stronger dollar and foreign weakness have been a sizable shock, he believes the US economy is holding up reasonably well, in part because the Fed has responded so far this year by deferring any moves to hike interest rates.
Indications of a continued solid pace of domestic spending supports the case for the Fed to start to withdraw some of the current highly accommodative monetary stimulus, said Paul Ferley, assistant chief economist with RBC Economics.
He earlier said in a prepared speech that the global outlook seemed less problematic than it did just a few months ago.
He noted that job growth rebounded in October, allaying concerns about a downward trend, and that labor market slack had clearly diminished.
The Fed, which is obligated to conduct financial coverage primarily based on a twin mandate of managing inflation and employment, has seen the unemployment charge drop to five%, however relying on how inflation is measured, its nonetheless effectively wanting the Feds 2% goal.
Indeed, one the Feds core tools - quantitative easing - which is aimed at boosting inflation, may actually CAUSE deflation.
Household balance sheets do not appear over-extended, Dudley added.
$30K in Student Loan Debt Could Mean $325K Less In Retirement
Millennials who begin their careers with $30,000 in student loan debt may find themselves with $325,000 less at retirement than their debt-free peers, according to new findings from LIMRA Secure Retirement Institute.
A new report from LIMRA Secure Retirement Institute looks at the effects education debt can have on retirement savings.
A full consideration of retirement security has to account for debt, according to the report, Calculated Choices: Examining Debt and Retirement Savings Decisions. Having debt reduces the money available to save and limits funds available for retirement expenses. Looking at financial assets in isolation may understate the gravity of the retirement lsquo;crisis.
Researchers at the Secure Retirement Institute found that a 22-year old who begins his or her career with $30,000 of student loan debt could reach retirement with $325,000 less than a peer who is not burdened with an education loan. For $50,000 of debt, the amount is closer to $530,000 less in retirement savings.
The general belief has always been an investment in education was worthwhile because it would result in a higher paying career, LIMRA states. However, the recession impacted millennials at the start of their careers, with many ending up unemployed or underemployed for years after they graduated.
While companies that administer 401(k) and other defined contribution (DC) plans report high participation rates by millennials, LIMRA finds the debt-burdened millennials are saving at a lower rate.
According to LIMRAs research, millennials without student loans are 60% more likely to maximize their employer match compared with those who are paying education loans.
Outside of mortgages and home equity loans, student loans comprise the highest median amount of debt.
According to LIMRA, more than 20% of the US population have student loans. (In comparison, 43% of US households have mortgage and home equity debt and 38% hold credit card balances.)
The under-35 age group has more than tripled its education debt since 1989. According to LIMRAs report, the average education debt increased from $3,000 in 1989 to over $19,500 in 2013 for this age group.
LIMRA finds this is largely due to increases in college tuition.
LIMRA looked at The College Board data showing that the average tuition and room and board charges for a public four-year school were $9,000 in 1990 and increased to $19,000 in 2015. For a private four-year school, the average tuition and room and board charges were $24,000 in 1990 and increased to $42,500 in 2015, according to The College Board.
LIMRA also looked at how much education debt pre-retirees and retirees hold.
For pre-retirees age 55 to 64, the average education debt has increased from $600 in 1989 to just under $8,000 in 2013.
The large increase in education debt indicates that many pre-retirees are taking on their childrens and grandchildrens student loans, LIMRA states. They may also have their own student loans if they sought additional schooling for a second or third career.
Meanwhile, retirees age 65 to 74 took essentially no education debt into retirement in 1989.
According to LIMRA, the average education debt for this age group increased from $400 in 1989 to more than $2,300 in 2013.
As with other forms of debt carried into retirement, education loans can hamper a retirees ability to meet discretionary and nondiscretionary expenses, LIMRA states.

FBI Reminds Shoppers to be Aware of Cyber Criminals Offering Scams This ...
San Diego, California - The FBI reminds shoppers in advance of the holiday shopping season to beware of cyber criminals and their aggressive and creative ways to steal money and personal information. Scammers use many techniques to defraud consumers by offering too good to be true deals via phishing e-mails advertising brand name merchandise, quick money making offers, or gift cards as an incentive to purchase a product. Remember, if the deal looks too good to be true, it probably is. Never provide your personal information to an unknown party or untrusted website.
Scammers often use e-mail to advertise hot-ticket items of the year that may become hard to find during the holidays to lure unsuspecting consumers to click on links. Steer clear of untrusted sites or ads offering items at unrealistic discounts or with special coupons. You may end up paying for an item, giving away personal information and credit card details and then receive nothing in return, along with your identity compromised. These sites may also be offering products at a great price, but the products being sold are not the same as the products they advertise. This is known as the bait and switch scam.
Beware of posts on social media sites that appear to offer vouchers or gift cards, especially sites offering deals too good to be true, such as a free $500 gift card. Some may pose as holiday promotions or contests. It may even appear one of your friends shared the link with you. If so, it is likely your friend was duped by the scam after it was sent to them by one of their friends. Oftentimes, these scams lead to online surveys designed to steal personal information.
When purchasing gift cards online, be leery of auction sites selling discounted or bulk offers of gift cards. When purchasing gift cards in the store, examine the protective scratch-off area on the back of the card to see if it has been tampered with.
Be on the lookout for mobile applications designed to steal your personal information from your smartphone. Such apps are often disguised as games and are often offered for free. Research the company selling or giving away the app and look online for third party reviews before installing an app from an unknown source.
Tickets to theater, concerts, and sporting events are always popular gifts during the holidays. If you purchase or receive tickets as a gift, do not post pictures of the tickets to social media sites. Protect the barcodes on tickets as you would your credit card number. Fraudsters will create a ticket using the barcode obtained from searching around social media sites and resell the ticket. You should never allow the barcode to be seen on social media. If you are in need of extra cash at this time of year, beware of sites and posts offering work you can do from the comfort of your own home. Often, the work from home opportunities rely on convenience as a selling point for applicants with an unscrupulous motivation behind the posting. You should carefully research the job posting and individuals or company contacting you for employment.
As a consumer, if you feel you are a victim of an Internet-related crime, you may file a complaint with the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.IC3.gov.
Here are some additional tips you can use to avoid becoming a victim of cyber fraud:
- Check your credit card statement routinely.
- Protect your credit card numbers from "wandering eyes."
- Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) e-mail.
- Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited e-mail.
- Be cautious of e-mail claiming to contain pictures in attached files, as the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders. Scan the attachments for viruses if possible.
- Avoid filling out forms contained in e-mail messages that ask for personal information.
- Always compare the link in the e-mail to the link you are actually directed to and determine if they actually match and lead you to a legitimate site.
- Log on directly to the official website for the business identified in the e-mail instead of linking to it from an unsolicited e-mail. If the e-mail appears to be from your bank, credit card issuer, or other company you deal with frequently, your statements or official correspondence from the business will provide the proper contact information.
- If you are requested to act quickly or there is an emergency, it may be a scam. Fraudsters create a sense of urgency to get you to act quickly.
- Verify any requests for personal information from any business or financial institution by contacting them using the main contact information on their official website.

Nobel Focus: Electricity through Plastic
The chemistry Nobel Prize this year went to Alan Heeger, Alan MacDiarmid, and Hideki Shirakawa "for the discovery and development of electrically conductive polymers." The laureates first described the details of their discovery in PRL in 1977, 23 year ago today. At the time, plastics were considered nonconductors, but the team showed that adding some impurities to a polymer material could increase its conductivity by more than a billion times. Their work led to the field of plastic electronics, which has resulted in several commercial applications. But they also helped to spur new areas of fundamental research in condensed matter physics by demonstrating some exotic polymer properties, such as charge carriers that, unlike electrons, have zero spin.
Plastics are so dependable as insulators (materials that don't conduct electricity) that they are often used for the protective coatings around wires. By the 1970s chemists had worked with some small organic molecules that could conduct, but a conducting, carbon-based, long-chain molecule was something "no one had really contemplated," recalls Richard Friend of the University of Cambridge in the UK. Polymers were known to be far cheaper to process than conventional electronics materials, which is one reason the results had "a huge impact," says Friend.
Heeger, MacDiarmid, and Shirakawa, then at the University of Pennsylvania, worked with polyacetylene, which consists of a long chain of carbon atoms, each bound to two neighboring carbons and a single hydrogen atom. The carbon-carbon bonds are not identical, but alternate between single and double bonds. Normally the electrons in the bonds remain localized and cannot carry an electric current, but when the team "doped" the material with strong electron acceptors such as iodine, the polymer began to conduct nearly as well as a metal, with a conductivity times higher than pure polyacetylene. They confirmed that the polymer had become metallic by showing that doping caused it to absorb and reflect far infrared light, whereas the pure polymer is transparent. Photons in that range allow polyacetylene's electrons to absorb energy and enter the so-called conduction band.
Heeger recalls that, while the team was aware of possible commercial applications for the new class of conducting polymers, their research in the following years was always motivated by fundamental physics questions. For example, how does polyacetylene become a conductor? Later work showed that polyacetylene and related materials behave quite differently from traditional semiconductors and conductors. For one thing, at intermediate doping levels, current is carried not by "delocalized," nearly free electrons, as in silicon or copper, but by the electrons in the carbon-carbon bonds. When a dopant removes an electron from the molecule, it can turn a double bond into a one-electron single bond, forcing a carbon atom to make single bonds with both of its neighboring carbons. That charged "defect," called a polaron, can travel down the molecule as each successive carbon atom grabs an electron from its neighbor, trying to compensate for the change. Since single and double bonds have different lengths, the movement of charge is intimately connected with stresses and strains among the carbon atoms themselves, not just their electrons.
Polarons and other polymer chain defects called solitons turned out to have unexpected properties, such as spin in the absence of charge or charge in the absence of spin. The separation of spin and charge in one-dimensional systems remains an active area of condensed matter research today and is thought by some to be relevant to high temperature superconductors.
Heeger, a physicist, is proud to have helped lay the groundwork for the field of semiconducting and metallic polymers, and to have received the chemistry Nobel Prize. "Blurring these traditional academic distinctions is a good thing," he says. Heeger calls the world between academic departments "the place to be."

(NASA) (Newser) – Is there life on Mars—and has it left its lights on? A strange blip of light in a photo snapped April 3 by NASA's Curiosity rover has excited UFO enthusiasts, the Houston Chronicle reports. While experts suspect a pixel problem, some believe the light shining upward signals Martians. "This could indicate there there is intelligent life below the ground [that] uses light as we do," writes the editor of UFO Sightings Daily. "This is not a glare from the sun, nor is it an artifact of the photo process." story continues below The mysterious light, spotted in a photo taken by the rover's right-hand navigation camera in a new area being studied known as the Kimberley, does not appear in the photo taken by the left-hand camera, suggesting the "light" is actually a speck of lost data, reports NBC News. It notes a photo taken the day before, again by the right navcam, shows a similar light that the left again did not capture. Whatever it is, the buzz about the blip shows that people are examining the rover photos very closely. An imaging expert at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shares his theory: A "cosmic ray hit" affected Curiosity. (Meanwhile, this month Mars is the closest it has been to us since 2007.)

The Big Bad Wolf is a worgen boss in the Opera House in Karazhan.
Attacks and Abilities
Terrifying Howl - Instant. Causes nearby enemies to flee in fear for 3 sec. Cast every 25-35 seconds.
Little Red Riding Hood
- Description: Changes the target into Little Red Riding Hood. This increases the likelihood that the Big Bad Wolf will chase them and try to gobble them up!
- Effect: Reduces the target's armor and resistances to 0. Increases speed 50% to flee the Big Bad Wolf. Pacifies and Silences.
Wide Swipe - Instant. Stuns the current target for 4 seconds. Casts about as often as Terrifying Howl. This can be used against a target with the Little Red Riding Hood debuff, possibly guaranteeing death.
- Only one tank is usually needed. While a warrior, death knight, protection paladin or feral druid can fulfill the role, warriors have an advantage due to berserker rage.
- Tank the wolf along one wall a medium distance away from the rest of the raid. If possible, switch to berserker stance to berserker rage just before a fear.
- While someone has the Red Riding Hood debuff, you must continue tanking to generate aggro or risk the Big Bad Wolf attacking a DPS once the debuff has gone.
- A Shaman can use a Tremor Totem to reduce the time spent under the influence of a fear. Enhancement shamans can keep the totem up for the duration of the fight. Elemental or Restoration Shaman will not be under the threat of constant fearing, and can instead drop the totem immediately after a fear, to more reliably break party members' fears.
- If that is not possible, a Priest's Fear Ward can counteract the fear. Note that this is now available to all races, and can be cast by a priest in Shadowform.
- Beside his fear, the wolf is not terribly difficult to tank and does not do a huge amount of damage.
Ranged DPS classes can continuously damage the wolf provided that the tank does not lose aggro. They can continue damaging while the wolf is chasing Little Red Riding Hood. Melee DPS classes have to be more careful due to the fear. However, any damage caused while the Big Bad Wolf is chasing someone will add to his threat list, regardless of your inability to pull aggro during that time.
Little Red Riding Hood
All non-melee players (ranged DPS and healing) should stand close together in a corner about a third to half the stage length from the wolf being tanked on the adjacent wall.
When the wolf casts the Red Riding Hood debuff on you, you must run around the perimeter of the stage. Stay very close to the wall without touching or hugging it, as this will slow down your running speed. The wolf should be a short distance behind you at all times, but out of melee range. After running about 1.5 times around the stage, the debuff will wear off and the wolf will most likely run back to the tank as long as sufficient aggro was generated.
- If you watch the Wolf's target carefully, he will briefly change targets to the upcoming Red Riding Hood then switch back to the tank, before he casts the debuff. This can give advance warning to the target, which is particularly useful to melee dps.
- All healing should be focused on whomever has the debuff. The target can often survive one attack from the wolf as long as the target is healed as soon as they are hit. Healers should use preemptive heals, canceling at the last moment if the runner does not get attacked. A priest should use Power Word: Shield. Earth Shield and heal-over-time spells can also help.
- The runner should follow a square path. The Wolf actually chases a spot 20 yards ahead of his target. The runner can imagine they're carrying a long fishing pole with a lure extended ahead of them. If Little Red Riding Hood runs in a circular or oval path, the Wolf will continuously cut them off and be in melee range. If Little Red Riding Hood runs in straight lines with tight corners, the Wolf will lose ground on the straightaways, cut off a little on the corners, but potentially stay out of melee range the entire time.
- Be aware that while chasing Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf will continue to fear all nearby players, including the runner. Tremor Totem and Fear Ward on the runner can help.
Class-Specific Tricks
- General – The Wolf is immune to many, but not all (see below) slowing effects.
- Rogues – Vanish prevents the Wolf from chasing you, but does not remove the debuff itself, so wait for it to run out before you come out of stealth.
- Hunters – Feign Death works normally. Cast it when you get the Little Red Riding Hood debuff, and stay down until it wears off. In case of a resist, be prepared to get up again and run as fast as possible before the Wolf is too close.
- Paladins – Blessing of Protection cast on Little Red Riding Hood will prevent the target from receiving any damage from the Wolf. Make sure to not use this buff too early to get the maximum benefit of this spell.
- Mages – If you happen to have an arcane mage, Slow (Mage spell) is effective against the Big Bad Wolf (Confirmed 09/09/2008). Amplify Magic helps with healing as there is no magic damage during the fight.
- Warriors – Thunderclap slows his damage output when chasing. You can Intervene to whomever receives the Riding Hood debuff to provide a bit of extra protection.
- Druids with the Tree of Life Form should not use it or switch it off immediately if they receive the debuff, as it slows them even while under the effects of the Riding Hood debuff.
Video guide
|How to solo The Big Bad Wolf
Combat start: In reply to dialog option "What phat lewts you have grandmother"? (Grandmother turns into The Big Bad Wolf and yells)
- All the better to own you with!
- Run away little girl, run away!
Killing a player:
- Mmmm... delicious.
Stagehand Barnes (prior to event starting):
- Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this evening's presentation! Tonight, things are not what they seem... for tonight your eyes may not be trusted! Take for instance this quiet elderly woman waiting for a visit from her granddaughter.... surely there is nothing to fear from this sweet, gray-haired old lady! But don't let me pull the wool over your eyes! See for yourself what lies beneath those covers! And now... on with the show!
- This boss's name, and his numerous speeches, are a reference to the classic childhood story Little Red Riding Hood
- The Big Bad Wolf's "Run away little girl. Run Away" quote is used as a warning to players with the Deadly Boss Mods add-on installed as a way to get players to move away from enemy AoE, a common cause of wipes for unskilled players.
- This boss is one of the few Worgen to keep his pre-Cataclysm model after Patch 4.0.1.

Tranche means something like "slice" in French, as in "piece of carrot cake" or "slice of life." So it comes from the way these mortgages are sliced and diced and recombined into different packages until it's quite difficult to trace them back, like trying to tell which molecules in your house were ones breathed by Newton.
Please Pass the October Surprise
I've always believed that mastery of vocabulary is at least halfway to mastery of the subject. Words are power--the kind of power commonly wielded by eggheads with pocket protectors, but power nonetheless. In the past weeks and months, I've seen a lot of new vocabulary thrown around in the media, and most of us are too busy ducking and diving out of the way to ask what all these crazy words mean. So let's demystify the language of the new economics, right here, right now. Here's a list of common terms you might encounter in your newspaper, on television, or even in a blog.
Commercial paper: This is an IOU, good for maybe a month or two. Unlike a regular IOU, it's written for very large amounts, and companies accept them from each other pretty much without question. Apparently, commercial paper is the way that many companies meet payroll and buy inventory. I always thought they used money. Who knew?
Credit default swap: Halfway between an insurance policy and a racetrack wager, this is a way that mortgage lenders made themselves feel safe giving loans to people about whom they otherwise knew nothing. No job? No documentation? No problem. We have a credit default swap.
Subprime debacle: The inevitable outcome of widespread use of credit default swaps to back sketchy loans. The word 'debacle' has somewhat of a Victorian ring to my ear. It sounds like something that might happen in "The Importance of Being Earnest." This is how the whole mess was described earlier this year, when we were all in an enviable state of denial. Notably, a 'debacle' is nothing that ever happens to oneself. It always happens to other people. Like the time our neighbors, a husband and wife, met each other driving separate cars in opposite directions on our street, and proceeded to have a very loud argument between the two cars. Boy, was that ever a debacle. So glad I wasn't involved!
Liquidity crisis: Until recently, I would have told you that a liquidity crisis is what happened when my sixty-pound puppy wasn't put outside often enough. But apparently, 'liquidity crisis' is actually what happens when you can't borrow enough money to keep going. Next time your buddy asks you for $100, just until next payday, you'll know he's having a liquidity crisis. Let's just hope that his employer is not relying on commercial paper to make payroll, or his liquidity crisis will become yours. Which, when I think about it, is the essential circular nature of this whole mess.
Tranch: This is a silly, made-up word that big investor types use to explain why they can't look closely at the history of individual mortgages bought and sold by their companies. See, it's in a "tranch." It's meant to evoke bundles, or "bunches," which are sort of shrink-wrapped so you can't open them up and look in side. Someone once suggested calling them "faggots," but that idea was quickly shouted down.
Toxic assets: Imagine that pirates Larry and Lunt from Jonah, the Veggie Tales movie, had successfully invested their prize money from the Mr. Twisty's Twisted Cheese Curls Sweepstakes in cheese curls, as they wished to do. And suppose that after they bought those cheese curls, but before they had a chance to resell them at a profit, they learned that the cheese curls had been manufactured in China (not Nineveh), and that they had high levels of melamine...
Mortgage meltdown: This is the same as subprime debacle, but a bit later in history, when everyone is feeling that it is not so funny anymore. It's like those neighbors shouting in the street are suddenly in your living room, and their car is parked in your driveway, and their trunk is full of those toxic cheese curls, and it turns out they are radioactive, not toxic, and they are going into nuclear meltdown!
Irrational despair: This is one half of a very small set of emotions which Wall Street stock traders are capable of (the other being irrational exuberance). Their severely limited emotional range literally controls our economy, while regulators feebly scold them from afar.
Economic collapse: In physics, there is conservation of matter and energy. Sadly, there is no law of conservation of money in economics. Money can simply disappear, and if enough of it does so, you have economic collapse.
Iceland: A small country in the extreme north populated by the descendants of Vikings which has recently experienced economic collapse (see above). If not rescued by other nations of the world, Iceland will have no choice but to replenish its coffers by raiding the coastlines of Europe and America. Guys with names like Sven and Eric Ericson, with Swedish Chef accents, will be burning our houses and raping our women. Also, they will be sending millions of emails that read, "Dear Friend, We would like to offer you a unique business opportunity..." (with Swedish Chef accents).
October surprise: As if having toilet paper in your trees and rotten pumpkins smashed in your driveway were not enough of a surprise, the October surprise is lore believed by stockbrokers and other Wall Street types (see 'Irrational despair,' above). Apparently, people who work in the New York Stock Exchange are among the most superstitious people on Earth. To a man, they take vacations each year in Ireland to hunt leprechauns, and can be found any time clutching rabbits feet, voodoo charms, saints medallions, and all manner of good luck items. Apparently, these denizens of the trading floor believe bad things happen in October, and in the way of many such prophecies, it happens to frequently be self-fulfilling.
So that, in a nutshell, is the lingo. Know it, understand it, use it wisely. And yet, one thing is still missing. We still don't have a comprehensive phrase to describe the whole phenomenon. I submitted my entry, "The Great Economic Shitstorm of 2008," to Ben Bernanke, but I haven't received a response from him yet.

Huh. I'm more familiar with "October Suprise" meaning some political stunt pulled in late October with the intention being to influence the election at the last minute before an opponent has an opportunity to respond.
Nice to have a glossary.
Michelle beat me to it on the etimology of tranche.
As a name for the whole mess, I rather like Jon Stewart's "Clusterf#@k to the Poor House."
Thanks so much for these. I love this kind of stuff. I came across the origins of the term 'pork barrel' today in Marc Reisner's Cadillac Desert.
Margaret Garcia-Couoh
I feel like I can listen to the talking heads on TV and know what they are talking about now. Thanks for an excellent post to help us non-financial types understand a little more what is going on. Keep up the good work!
This version of the credit default swap isn't what I understood it to mean, based on one of the latest episodes of "This American Life" (#365 Another Frightening Show About the Economy"). I thought it was more like the racetrack wager made by outside entities AGAINST the mortgage holders.
I bet that in the current extremely volatile markets due to the credit crisis and worsening real estate markets, many do not find the answers to their questions about personal finance. This glossary will help you to understand some of the issues but our Wealth Manager allows the users to simulate an infinite number of scenarios, discovering the impact of various factors such as buying a property, inflation or even sending kids to university on your personal finance.
Prosperitypersonal's Wealth Manager simulates graphically and interactively financial goals. By dragging and dropping icons in the simulation area, visitors can perform various simulations depicting different scenarios customized to their personal situation.

What then is the sign of the Holy Spirit ?
Submitted by admin on Fri, 2011-01-21 02:00
Christos means the 'anointed one' and it is the Greek form of Hebrew Messiah, which meant the same thing. Anointment with oil was the usual custom in the N. T. period (Lk. 7: 38; 46). Perhaps oil was used in the laying on of hands by the apostles to confer the gift of the Holy Spirit and heal. (Acts 6: 14-17; 9: 12, 17; 28: 8). The surety that we are anointed with the Holy Spirit is not a psychological emotional experience as ecstatic utterances with tongues, but an objective anointment of the Holy Muron (oil) by the valid ministry of the Church. The Holy Spirit, freely given to us at the Confirmation which goes with baptism, has to be rekindled in us by our prayerful waiting upon the Lord, holy life, prayer and fasting etc. (II Tim. 1: 6). Just as some people who speak with tongues become backsliders, some of the Christians who were anointed with Holy Oil also will become back-sliders. The Holy Spirit, freely given to the Church, is at work on all who are grafted to the Church in baptism and confirmation, without distinction of age, but the responsibility to bear the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5: 22) remains with them. The tree is known by the fruit and not by the leaves of gifts or charisma. The assurance of the anointment of the Holy Spirit is neither subjective alone, nor objective alone, but both. Our own experience of new life and sanctification must be noted by others also, though their objective judgment alone is not final. Two or more witnesses including ourselves and others must be amazed at the overflow of agape, heavenly love in us as the fruit of the Spirit. The sign of tongues or healing gift without agape is not a sure sign of the Spirit's anointment. If any one is full of the Spirit, he is a new creation with a new relationship with the Triune God and a new relation with others and a new joy of personal assurance of having been accepted by God in the power of the Spirit.

Not a good day to be a Toshiba shareholder this Wednesday morning, that's for sure. It all started early Wednesday morning when the company's memory production facility in Yokkaichi, Japan experienced a 70 millisecond power dip.
As a result, Toshiba may be forced to reduce its Flash output in the January through February time frame by a whooping twenty percent, or one fifth of its normal capacity.
This represents approximately eight percent of the world supply but it most likely won't affect the company?s major buyers such as Apple. Tier 2 and tier 3 customers are now bracing for a possible price spike and some are already scrambling to increase inventory levels before the resulting price increase is thoroughly vetted.

Record size is 51.5 inches (130.8 cm). Adults are large and thick bodied. The back is iridescent blue-black with a red stripe or line of spots down the middle and an additional reddish-pink stripe on each side. Black spots and speckles occur on every belly scale and lower two rows of scales on side of body. These black markings invade and breakup the red and yellow areas on the belly, throat and chin. The chin is yellow. The tail tip ends in a pointed, horny scale. The scales are mostly smooth, except on the posterior back and sides where they are weekly keeled. There are 19 dorsal scale rows at midbody. The pupil is round. Juveniles are thought to be simlar in appearance to adults.
A. Top of the head
B. Underside of the head (chin and throat)
C. Front (face view) of the head
D. Smooth scales
E. Elongated scales below the tail (subcaudal scales) are typically divided
F. Side of the head
Range: In Florida, this Rainbow Snake is known only from a single population in Fish Eating Creek, Glades County, flowing into the western side of Lake Okeechobee, in the southern peninsula.
Habitat: It is very rare or possibly extinct. It has only been found in creeks, but it is believed it may also inhabit areas similar to other Rainbow Snakes.
Comments: HARMLESS (Non-Venomous). Virtually nothing is known about this snake, but it is believed its life history is simlar to that of other Rainbow Snakes.
The Southern Florida Rainbow Snake is one of the rarest snakes in the United States. Only 3 specimens have been found, between 1949 and 1952. The color photographs above were taken of the only known available specimen, the holotype, which is secured in the Florida Museum of Natural History, University of Florida. Please note that this snake has both red stripes and belly in real life. However, in the photographs above the red pigment (which now appears yellowish) has faded from being preserved over the years. Additionally, at the time of its original description, two other snakes were collected and designated as paratypes, but they appear to have been lost and/or never deposited in a recognized systematic collection. Several searches have been made for Southern Florida Rainbow Snake since the 1950s, but all were unsuccessful.
Comparison with other species: Mud Snakes (Farancia abacura) and Swamp Snakes (Seminatrix pygaea) lack the Rainbow Snake's reddish-pink dorsal stripes.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - June 14, 2011 - USA was the most watched cable network in prime this week, delivering more P25-54 (1.21 million, +10% more than #2 History Channel), P18-49 (1.08 million, +7% than #2 History Channel), P18-34 (455,000, +5% over #2 TBS), total viewers (3.10 million, +32% over #2 Disney Channel) and households (2.34 million, +39% over #2 Disney Channel) as well as bringing in the week's top household coverage rating in basic cable prime (2.34, +0.65 over #2 Disney Channel). USA was the only cable network to deliver over 3 million total viewers or 2 million households in this week's prime and was one of only two to break 1 million in P25-54 or 1 million in P18-49.
· COVERT AFFAIRS and WHITE COLLAR dominated Tuesday night this week as their season premieres delivered more total viewers (CA 4.56 million / WC 3.90 million) and households (CA 3.48 million / WC 2.98 million) than any other scripted fare on cable for the night as well as coming in as the top two scripted series in prime among P25-54 (CA 1.89 million / WC 1.73 million) and P18-49 (1.61 million / 1.58 million) and the #1 drama for P18-34 (WC 697,000 / CA 623,000) Tuesday. Both shows delivered more P18-34 than anything on CBS's primetime schedule for the night.
· More total viewers tuned to this week's episode of WHITE COLLAR than to any in this winter's Season 2.5. WHITE COLLAR delivered +9% more total viewers and +4% more P25-54 than the winter season on average.

A Sandwich a Day: 4 Meat Grinder from Stachowski Market & Deli in Georgetown
A different sandwich profiled every single day.
In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
The much anticipated Stachowski Market & Deli opened last month in the old Griffin Market space in Georgetown. The Stachowskis have been offering their expert charcuterie at local farmers' markets, but now you can pick them up at their new brick-and-mortar location.
Located on a quiet Georgetown corner, the shop is easy to miss. But walk by and the aroma of freshly cured meats will make you forget wherever else you were headed. Step inside and, while ogling the cases of dry-aged steaks and spare ribs, you can now order from a small selection of sandwiches (listed on a pig-shaped blackboard, no less). Of the massive, meat-filled sandwiches on offer, the most popular is the 4 MEAT Grinder ($11.99).
The 4 MEAT Grinder is gigantic (the word meat is capitalized, after all). Filled with locally sourced salami, coppa, mortadella, and sopressata, it's an imposing sandwich. Topped off with peppers, jalapeños, extremely thinly sliced onions, tomatoes and lettuce, all on a light, toasted Italian roll, the Grinder is a great mixture of flavor and heat. The Italian spices, the smokiness from the meat, and the heat from the peppers make for quite a mouthful. Depending on your appetite, the Grinder is big enough for two or even three lunches.
And since I couldn't resist trying another one of Stachowski's sandwiches, here's the Hot Pastrami ($11.99). Not nearly as large as the Grinder, but the thick, fatty slices of pastrami on toasted pumpernickel are plenty satisfying. While the Grinder delivers a great blend of flavors, the Hot Pastrami relies on just the rich, tender pastrami and mustard. And it succeeds. It's a sandwich that you probably could save for second lunch leftovers, but then you don't because you can't restrain yourself.
For now, Stachowski is fairly sparse. There's only one table with a few seats (which look like they were salvaged from a neighborhood yardsale) by the window. There are a couple of deli cases for the meat and a small selection of snacks, condiments, and dairy products, but co-owner Josef Stachowski plans to expand their offerings to include cheeses and produce.

Fit To Be Tide (オレンジリーグ!ナツカンジム! The Orange League! The Mikan Gym!) is the 5th episode of Pokémon: Indigo League.
Arriving at Mikan Island, Ash goes to fight against the Gym Leader, Cissy. Unexpectedly, there aren't any battles, but challenges. While Ash and Squirtle did their best to break frizbees, the second challenge is a race. While Ash uses his Lapras, Cissy's Blastoise seems stronger and faster. However, an unexpected move from Lapras turns the lead...
Episode plot
As Ash, Misty and Tracey ride Lapras (who is enjoying the travel), Pikachu slips, but Ash gets him before it'd go underwater. Misty tells Lapras they don't need to be in a rush, but she, as well as Ash and Tracey, would like to eat something. Tracey checks there is the Mikan Island, which has the Gym located over there. Hearing this, Ash tells Lapras to go there and they speed up. Jessie overheard them and wants to get before them, but James and Meowth are exhausted from all the pedaling. Jessie clarifies because the blimp was destroyed, they must get the boss a Pokémon. Suddenly, they cannot pedal, as they fall down the bottom of the ocean, as their submarine got wrapped by seaweed.
After their arrival at Mikan Island, Ash calls his Lapras back. At the Center, Ash contacts Oak and greets him. Tracey appears and introduces himself, wanting to meet Oak, while Muk hugs Oak. Ash tells Oak he caught a Lapras. Oak reminds him that it needs care and gets knocked out by Muk. Tracey feels lucky he got friends of Prof. Oak, wanting his opinion on the reviews of the Pokémon Watcher. Ash asks what is his Gym Leader. Tracey responds the Gym Leader is one of the toughest members of Orange Crew, causing Ash to be excited for the match. Ash sees the Gym, but before he goes, he goes to drink milk from a coconut he saw. Taking the coconut, he activates a trap, being soaked by water. A child appears and laughs at him, telling that a trainer falling for that trick is not a good one. Ash tells he competed in the Indigo League, becoming the Top 16. The child tells if he wants to get in the Gym, he needs to battle, to which Ash accepts. However, a woman appears, reminding the child to clean his room.
The child tells he saw the trainer sneaking around. Ash denies this, wanting to challenge the Gym Leader. The woman hears this and introduces herself as Cissy, the Gym Leader. Tracey sees her and makes a drawing of her. Cissy tells Ash to prepare himself to use Water Pokémon, calling him a squirt. Misty laughs at this and the child taunts Ash, but Cissy pushes him away. Ash asks how many Pokémon do they use to battle, but Cissy responds that it is much more than a battle, telling Ash he will see what she means. She tells there will be two challenges. The child presses buttons, causing cans to appear and the pool in the middle of the Gym to appear. Cissy sends Seadra. Ash thinks a Pokémon like that won't win any beauty contests and gets sprayed by water by Seadra itself.
Cissy tells that this challenge requires a Pokémon knowing the Water Gun move. The child blows some bubbles and Seadra pierces them using Water Gun. She tells that the Pokémon need to push the cans using Water Gun. Ash sends Squirtle to do the job. Seadra uses Water Gun and pushes the cans. Squirtle uses Water Gun as well, pushing the cans with relative ease. Psyduck comes out and Misty tells it to get back, but it does not listen. Psyduck uses the GS Ball to play with it, but Misty gets the Ball. The challenge is finished, but Cissy tells the next targets will move. Pressing the buttons, Senta, the child, sends a pack of frisbees, to which Seadra crushes them using Water Gun - all of them. Squirtle does the same and hits all targets. Cissy tells who crushes the next target will win. The target is sent and the Pokémon shoot. The target is destroyed, so Tracey and Cissy confirm they hit at the same time, so the match is a draw.
Senta asks Cissy what will they do, but Cissy knows they need to have a Pokémon Wave Ride. Cissy explains the one who turns around the flag and comes back first wins. Cissy sends Blastoise and Ash Lapras. When Senta is about to fire to start the race, Team Rocket appear, exhausted from being at the bottom of the sea. Ash and Misty see their motto is always the same and never know what they mean by it. James is happy he breaths, as he had to free the submarine from the weed, then get out before running out of air. Meowth tells there is business to do, so James sends James's Weezing, who uses Smog, causing a distraction to get Blastoise for themselves. Team Rocket dive in, but the submarine is (again) wrapped by seaweed. Team Rocket push, but break the pedals. James and Jessie are depressed they won't blast off again, but Meowth has a plan - when a car gets stuck in the mud, it needs a push to get it moving, so the submarine needs to be pushed to float to surface.
However, Blastoise pulls the submarine to the surface and frees itself. Team Rocket go to get more Pokémon, though Pikachu electrocutes them, while Blastoise's Hydro Pump causes them to blast off. With them out of the way, Ash wishes Lapras good luck, but Cissy tells trainers stand on the Pokémon. Ash does not have much balance, but does not want to quit. As they go to the flag, Blastoise pushes Lapras to get Ash off balance. Lapras goes to do the same thing for Blastoise. Blastoise attacks and knocks Ash over, but Lapras gets him before he falls in sea. However, Cissy gets the lead. They turn round the flag and admit to each other they are not bad as they seem. Suddenly, a wave appears, but Lapras uses Ice Beam to freeze it. However, a portion affects Cissy, as she is knocked out, but Blastoise gets her. Ash has an idea, as Lapras uses Ice Beam to the shore and goes on the ice slide. The race is hard, but on the finishing line, Lapras wins.
As Lapras stops, Ash is thrown and banged onto a tree, but is glad he won. Cissy sees his strategy, seeing it was wise to use Ice Beam, seeing he made it far in the Indigo League. She gives him the Coral Eye badge. Ash sees it looks like a shell, but Cissy tells the Orange Islands Gyms use shells as badges. As the heroes ride Lapras, Misty wishes she challenged Cissy to earn a badge like that. Ash tells one needs to be a good Trainer, getting Misty riled up. Tracey calms them down and draws Cissy riding Blastoise. Misty asks Tracey if he was supposed to draw Pokémon, causing him to blush a bit.
- "I was expecting a guy trainer." - Ash
- "I guess she beat all the guys." - Misty
- "I need to make some observations." - Tracey
- "Hey, just what is it you're observing?" - Misty
- "Well since you're such a little squirt, let's use Water Pokémon." - Cissy
- "Who're you calling "Squirt"?" - Ash
- "Squirt! Squirt, squirt, squirt, squirt!" - Senta
- "And you'd better be quiet cause you're an even littler squirt." - Cissy
- "Well?" - Misty
- "They both hit it at the exact same time." - Tracey
- "It looked that way to me too, so let's call this match a draw." - Cissy
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Primeape.
- Cissy was the first Gym Leader to be voiced by Tara Sands (Tara Jayne back then).

Tumble dryer drying cycle takes too long
If the drying cycle takes too long, refer to the suggestions below for step by step instructions.
Tumble Dryer, including (Tumble dryer with heat pump an Condenser tumble dryer):
Getting the best drying results:
If you find that your dryer is not drying satisfactorily, there are a number of possible causes.
- For best results with the lowest possible power consumption, the machine must be cleaned regularly and you should use the correct cycle and options in relation to the type of clothing you want to dry.
- It is important that the clothing is sorted and dried according to clothing type when you use electronic cycles.
- For some types of clothing (e.g. with very thick seams) additional drying may be necessary after drying with a timed cycle (more than 10 minutes' duration, because the last 10 minutes of the cycle consist of cooling without heat.)
Check whether the appliance is getting hot:
Before you book an engineer, it is important to check if the appliance's heating system is working.
- Firstly, clean the appliance and then start a timed cycle of at least 120 minutes with no load.
- After one hour, open the door and check whether the drum is hot inside (with at least 20 minutes remaining on the display).
- If the inside of the drum is hot, the heating system is working. In tumble dryers fitted with a heat pump, you can often also hear whooshing or sloshing noises from the appliance when it stops.
- If the appliance is still not hot after an hour of the program, we recommend requesting a visit by a service engineer.
Is your product connected to a power outlet or grounded socket?
Your appliance must be connected to a power outlet or an grounded socket
- If the appliance is not grounded, the measuring system will not work correctly and the appliance may 'decide' that the clothing is dry at the wrong time.
- If your appliance is not grounded, there is a risk of electric shock.
Is the ambient temperature between 5°C and 35°C?
If the ambient temperature is too low or too high, the tumble dryer may not operate correctly.
- Place the dryer in a room which has a suitable temperature.
- If the dryer is located in a room, make sure that the temperature of the room is between 5°C and 35°C.
- If the room temperature is not within this range, the tumble dryer may not operate correctly and will not heat up.
- Heat the room in which the tumble dryer is situated until it reaches a suitable temperature, or move the dryer to another room which is at a suitable temperature.
Have you tried adjusting the residual moisture level?
On many models, the residual moisture level can be adjusted.
- You will find information on how to adjust this level in the user manual if your appliance has this function.
- If you adjust the appliance to a line, the program cycle will be increased and the clothes will be drier by the time the cycle has finished.
Tumble dryer fitted with heat pump:
- Tumble dryers that are fitted with a heat pump give very gentle and energy-efficient drying at low temperature (max. 54°C), but the drying time will be somewhat longer than on appliances with high energy consumption. This is normal and not a malfunction in any way.
- On these appliances, it may seem that the appliance is not heating for a long period of time at the start of a drying cycle. This is because all of the heat pump's energy is used to heat and evaporate water/moisture in the clothing. Simply let the appliance run through the selected cycle until the desired drying results have been achieved according to the chosen cycle and options.
- Opening the door during a cycle to check on the clothing will extend the cycle by at least half an hour each time the door is opened. This is because the heat pump takes a long time to reach full working pressure in the heating system.
- Some models have a quick-drying cycle with a shorter drying time. You can use this cycle if you do not have time to wait for the normal drying cycle to finish. Using this program increases the energy consumption and noise level, as the heat pump will operate at full power and speed throughout the entire drying cycle.
Drying cushions, pillows and duvets:
First, check your user manual to see whether your machine is suitable for drying cushions, pillows and duvets.
Warning: If it is not suitable, there is a risk that the appliance may overheat and suffer damage.
If your appliance is suitable for drying cushions, pillow and duvets, set the program to dry the cushions/pillows/duvet in accordance with the user manual.
- For example, if your cushions are not completely dry inside after drying, you can use a cycle to finish the drying process. (More than 10 minutes' duration, as the last 10 minutes of cycles consist of cooling without heat.)
Drying clothing from the washing line:
If you want to finish drying clothes that are almost dry, you can use a timed cycle (over 10 minutes' duration, as the last 10 minutes of cycles consist of cooling without heat.)
- Automatic drying cycles cannot be used for clothing which are only slightly damp.
Are the filters clean? Is the machine clean?
If the filters, condenser and/or heat exchanger are dirty, it may be the reason why the machine is not heating up.
- See the user manual for information on how to clean and maintain your appliance.
The filters may appear clean but still be blocked.
- You can check the filters by holding them up against the light or under a tap and seeing whether the water can flow through them.
- If no water passes through the filters, clean them and check them again.
- If water will still not pass through the filters, replace them.
Examples of cleaning different types of tumble dryer:
11.1 Cleaning the filter
At the end of the countdown, the filtering symbol will appear in the display. This means that the filter needs to be cleaned.
Note: The filter collects lint. Lint forms when the clothing in the tumble dryer dries.
11.3 Cleaning the heat exchanger:
If the symbol Heat exchanger is flashing on the display, inspect the heat exchanger and the space. Clean it if it is dirty.
How to perform the inspection:
How to clean the condenser:
If the above does not resolve the problem, request a visit by a service engineer.
To help you determine the exact nature of the problem, we recommend a visit by one of our authorized engineers to check the appliance and fix the problem.
When contacting us, please have the following information to hand. You will find this information on the manufacturer's data plate:
Data plate with model number, product number/PNC, ELC and serial number:
Where will I find the data plate on my product?
NOTE: Depending on the problem, you may be charged for a service visit by an engineer, even during the warranty period.
Warning: We do not recommend using the product until the problem has been completely fixed. Unplug the product and do not plug it in again until you are certain that it is OK to do so.

This site has recently been acquired by the owners of www.worldmusic.co.uk
We are two brothers – passionate about world music – from England, UK.
We aim to build a world music radio station devoted to opening up the ears, minds and hearts of people to the rich variety of world music out there.
Important news regarding the hosting of WorldBeatUK:
Until recently Glyn Phillips (WorldMusic.co.uk's Editor) was broadcasting a weekly, two-hour, live world music radio show called WorldBeatUK, sharing everything from the newest releases to time-weathered classics, which was hosted on a pre-existing online Community radio station (called Rhubarb Radio).
The show covered the whole gamut of world music and had a global audience, from Russia to America, New Zealand to Poland, Ecuador to Canada, Jamaica to Ghana and more.
However, due to a significant theft of equipment from Rhubarb Radio's studios in early November 2011, the station is unable to function. So we are no longer broadcasting WorldBeatUK on Rhubarb Radio.
We were initially planning to launch WorldMusicRadio.Com in late 2013/14, but due to the problems of hosting WorldBeatUK on Rhubarb we are trying to bring forward our launch and are currently working on providing a new home for the show on WorldMusicRadio.Com as soon as possible.
So, we are racing to provide a basic station service as quick as possible with both past and new WorldBeatUK shows available.
We will also be speeding up completion of our full world music radio service with many new shows and formats, wide coverage of styles and introduction of new independent presenters, etc, to be able to deliver an exciting new station to you!
If you have any questions or ideas etc please contact us via our main website: http:// www.worldmusic.co.uk
Hopefully later this year WorldMusicRadio.Com will be the new place to hear WorldBeatUK and catch up with all that's fresh in the world of global music, listen to the sounds other stations won't let you hear, and relive the classics of world music from long ago!
If you want us to contact you when we're ready then please leave your email address with us here:
info [at] worldmusic.co.uk with "WorldMusicRadio.Com – mailing list" in the title line
Eventually we will populate WorldMusicRadio.Com with an amazing library of music from all over the planet and provide you with a one-stop station to enable you to embark on a voyage of musical discovery around the world!
From Africa to Australasia, from Europe to the Pacific, and from Asia to the Americas there is a wealth of amazing distinctive music being created and we look forward to bringing this to your ears via this online radio website.
From Aboriginal to Zouk, from Zydeco to Afrobeat, WorldMusicRadio will take you around the world in a globe-full of grooves…
The A-Z of World Music!
