Thanks Vapor! for anyone who uses chrome: chrome extension for photobucket Install the extension, then close your browser, reopen it, and that refresh button. Ingrid- your roses were swoon worthy!!! Gorgeous photos of a beautiful garden. If you get the extension to work, can you tell me what the wine red rose with pale reverse is, which is in front of Cels Multiflora? I have a feeling it wouldn't survive here but wow, is that stunning!!

suburbanmd, The timing that is displayed on a custom cycle is more a general guideline as indicated from the owners manual p.24 states: 8. Start the program Press the flashing "Start" button. If a delay start is set, the remaining times elapses in the display. Once the delayed start time has elapsed or immediately after the program starts, the approximate program running time is displayed. The washer calculates the water absorbency of the laundry in the first 8 minutes. The overall program time may be shortened or lengthened. Additionally the sequence cycle is displayed. The washer shows the current program step. The drum door will be locked and the drum light will turn off once the program starts. Unless Miele is documenting and including in their unit database your machine's serial number includes the new firmware then the only means of determining whether your machine has the latest firmware is through the physical attachment of a laptop with Miele's proprietary software communicating between the two. After a Miele tech has actually connected to your machine then corporate's database is updated with information via Wi-Fi in real time. My machine's firmware had the "Hygiene Info" switched to the "on" position to display the machine should be run on a Sanitize cycle if too many cold water washes have been executed. Our machine's door latch that was originally perfectly spaced and starting to hit the latch roller was adjusted. I have another thesis on the sagging door matters of both the dryer and washer might, given the time, post a thread regarding my findings. bmac, I agree with you that although minor, issues that should be resolved, yet remain issues are unacceptable. Dealing with Miele US Corporate is fruitless other than getting them to actually schedule a tech to service your units. Unless the person you are speaking with has field experience, or they are in front of your machines, then they are useless. Now a great tech...that's a different story; we have been fortunate.

Gosh, this must have been very sudden since you had just decided to go ahead and change your screen name to gator and then suddenly back again. Sad for you that your dreams were dashed! I think this happens a lot when love is involved because we just get so head over heels and often times the people we are involved with put on their best face until we actually move in with them and then we can see how they really are. I can see myself in what happened with you but I did get lucky and found a really nice man. I won't lie though, at first it was challenging and we didn't always get along just simply because we didn't know each other and were suddenly thrown together 24/7. It is very eye opening to live with someone instead of just dating.

Will check out the suggested recipes. I spent some time on the King Arthur site and took note of the graham crackers, as it happens, and also of the animal crackers. One of the problems with baking in Italy is how many ingredients that are common in the U.S. can't be found here, at least not in the country: Milan or Florence might be a different story. Our local small supermarket is not currently carrying oatmeal (it was expensive anyway). Also unavailable: molasses, wheat germ, buttermilk, sour cream, buckwheat, rye, hard wheat flours (buckwheat flour used to be available, but not lately), dried currants and cherries, pecans, cranberries fresh or dried. Water pack pie cherries, though there's an abandoned orchard down the road. Pumpkin pack, though we get a fine substitute by roasting winter squash. Reliable dried yeast: I only use fresh now. Walnuts are very expensive. Vanilla and almond extract come in miniscule individual vials: my last trip to the U.S. I brought back bottles of both. We still eat well, but I really had to revise a lot of my cooking, and baking in particular. Also I'm a healthy cook, and getting older, both of which have caused changes in my cooking. We have good produce here, and the cheeses are sublime, though mostly I limit myself to a bit of Parmesan.
