Our relatively newish washing machine goes off balance with lite loads and never seems to want to finish. Anyone else have this problem with their washing machine? Any advice?
"A provocative sign for the “first bar for pregnant women” called Gestations is turning heads in New York’s East Village. “All you mothers-to-be should come check out our trimester specials and our 9-month happy hour because now you’re drinking for two!” the signage reads on an empty storefront at 504 E. Fifth St." "Local media suspect the “bar” is a hoax. The New York Post uncovered that the owners of the storefront haven’t applied for a liquor license. A Post reporter also called the business’s phone number and said “a sultry female’s voice on the business’s answering machine invites guests to ‘visit us on October 25 at 504 East Fifth Street before that water breaks.’”"

"Amy's Baking Company founder Samy Bouzaglo -- who appeared on "Kitchen Nightmares" -- attacked someone with a knife outside his restaurant Saturday ... and the footage is CRAZY! The person who shot the video says a drunk guy was eating at the Scottsdale restaurant when Samy's wife Amy Bouzaglo became enraged and ordered him to leave -- and he did. But Samy wasn't done with him. The video shows him outside -- waving a knife -- going after the guy. You hear him scream to his wife, "Let me!" Samy eventually backed off, the guy left. We called the Bouzaglo's ... and they INSIST Samy was holding a pen -- not a knife. And you thought Gordon Ramsay was intense."

"At first, the war was not a war at all, but a one-sided slaughter by Assad's troops against unarmed civilian protesters, a dynamic that Assad knew invited American-led intervention against him. Then it was a war between Assad's loyalists and home-grown Syrian rebels, which posed the same risk. But by allowing extremist groups like ISIS to grow, as he focused on weakening moderate rebels, Assad created a conflict in which he was the lesser of two evils. This strategy was not a secret; it was carried out in the open, as we all watched, and there is no mystery that Assad hoped to cultivate ISIS's growth."

"The former Hewlett-Packard CEO and 2010 Senate candidate is hitting the campaign trail in the lead-up to Election Day for her new super PAC, teaching activists and politicians how to talk to female voters—and building herself a grassroots base in a half-dozen electorally important states in the process. While her efforts are focused on helping the GOP win control of the Senate in November, political strategists say Fiorina is doing all the right things to prep for a 2016 bid. And the message she's touting is a preview of the kind of role she could play, if she runs."

This CNN live feed is crazy. These guys have no strategy. They just kind of wander in, and shoot. Seems they don't care if they get shot.

I just made a drink, lots of gin, a little orange liquor, some tonic water, and a wedge of Myer lemon. It's been a long couple days. I don't know what it's called but I deserve this.
Anyone have an opinion on smoked meats and time in the fridge? I would think smoked meats would last a little longer. Smoking does equal preservation, am I right?
I'd assume it depends on whether smoking was done for just cooking purposes or curing. Smoked salmon definitely lasts longer than regularly cooked in the fridge, smoked chicken seems to last as long as other cooked chicken, anecdotally.

Just cooking. I had some ribs, they were 10 days old. I reheated to a 190 or so and they tasted fine, but then I got freaked out when I remembered how long they had been sitting there.
