Did you replace the cover?
This. Sales people are often morons. Keeps radiation off the food... ffs. It's electromagnetic radiation, not uranium. It keeps the food from splattering up the wave guide.
That salesperson made that comment online & they'd be buried already.
I would damn well hope its not Uranium!
That is a microwave guide cover, its made out of mica or similar material.
"to keep the radiation off the food".
Typical response from the morons who work in those kinds of fields.
To be fair, I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to educate myself about microwaves if I was working at Checkers House and Home, it can't be fun.
In any event, yes, I snapped it back on, and the unit is an absolute delight to use. I'm very pleased.
But that was the main sales pitch! "Only the finest A-grade Uranium used inside".
Yeah when she told me that on the phone I did the telephonic equivalent of smiling, nodding and backing away slowly.
Why does it snap off easily if it's supposed to stay in place?
So that it can be replaced down the line if needed.
I have an LG with a similar cover inside that is attached with a screw, so I would say that it is definitely not meant to be removed.
Every single microwave oven on the market today has that mica shield.
Zach Gruver, Noblesville: Quarterbacks, beware. The senior cornerback has four interceptions in his past three games, including one last week in a 10-2 win over Westfield. Gruver has 27 tackles on the season. He also has three receptions for 50 yards. Noblesville is at Zionsville on Friday.
Jesse Kolb, Sheridan: Kolb, a senior, has caught 10 passes this season and six have gone for touchdowns (279 receiving yards through four games). Kolb, a linebacker on defense, has 41 tackles on the season. Sheridan is 3-1 with three consecutive shutouts going into Friday’s game at Clinton Prairie.
Charlie Ogega, Center Grove: The senior running provides a nice contrast to sophomore standout Carson Steele. Ogega is averaging 7.7 yards per carry (223 rushing yards) through four games and averaging 30.1 yards per kickoff return. The Trojans host North Central on Friday.
Josh Wagner, Zionsville: The senior quarterback was 17-for-26 for 283 yards and three touchdowns in Zionsville’s 44-19 win over Franklin Central. On the season, Wagner has completed 62 percent of his passes for 802 yards and 10 touchdowns with three interceptions. Zionsville hosts Noblesville in a big game on Friday.
Randy Wells Jr., Warren Central: The junior safety had an interception, caused a fumble and made four tackles in Warren Central’s 47-0 win over Lawrence Central on Friday. Wells has 34 tackles through four games and has caused two fumbles. The offense for Warren Central gets a lot of attention but the defense has been ...
The Cubs adjusted their rotation so that Jon Lester is lined up to start the first game of the National League playoffs.
Lester will make his next start Wednesday in St. Louis in his first of four remaining regular-season starts. Left-hander Mike Montgomery, who originally was told he would pitch Wednesday, will start Thursday against the Brewers.
Manager Joe Maddon would not specifically say the switch was made with the playoffs in mind.
"We liked the idea of Jon pitching in St. Louis more," Maddon said Sunday. "That's all that was about. He felt pretty good staying on his regular turn this time around, knowing we might do something differently the next time. We decided to go this way."
Lester (16-4) has won seven consecutive decisions and has allowed two runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts. Lester, 32, has pitched in six postseasons and has a lifetime 3-0 record and 0.43 ERA in three World Series starts.
Maddon hasn't ruled out Montgomery making another start.
Changes tailored toward the postseason started to take shape over the weekend when John Lackey and Jake Arrieta swapped spots, with Lackey starting Saturday and Arrieta on Sunday against the Astros.
The Cubs also expanded their options Sunday by starting catcher David Ross to handle Arrieta "just to get (Ross) back on track with (Arrieta) in case that were to pop up later," Maddon said.
Miguel Montero has caught Arrieta for most of this season with rookie Willson Contreras handling Arrieta more recently.
Saturday night lights: Travis Wood, Dexter Fowler, Joe Smith, Ross, Lester and coach Eric Hinske traveled after Saturday's game to Fort Worth to watch the Arkansas-TCU football game.
"It's a mini-vacation in the middle of the season," said Ross, who thanked TCU coach Jim Schlossnagle for field passes and a quick tour of the Horned Frogs' locker room.
Lester provided the transportation. Arrieta, who pitched at TCU, arranged the passes.
"It was one of the better nights I've had in a while," Ross said.
Are you considering using Facebook Credits in your business? You should probably take a look at the pros and cons, according to a recent report from a merchant's perspective.
F-commerce firm Milyoni recently published a 13-page whitepaper titled "Facebook Credits 2012: A Merchant's Perspective" (PDF) to examine the benefits, drivers, inhibitors, and uses of the world's most popular social currency. It also looks at how Facebook Credits have grown in the past few years to become a dominant c...
Access to a nearly 1 billion person marketplace.
Simplified approach to purchasing virtual and digital goods.
Consolidation of virtual currencies across multiple providers.
A secure payment and billing environment.
Global currency available in 47 currencies.
Ability to purchase and gift Facebook Credits in many ways (Credit Card, PayPal, Mobile, Retail Stores and more).
A growing base of merchants who reward customer loyalty and buying with credits. Similar to airline miles that are aggressively accumulated by consumers.
An effective mechanism to convert fans into paying customers of premium or exclusive services.
For credit-hungry fans, Facebook Credit distribution can be a low cost promotional effort to increase your brand awareness or customer conversions.
30 percent transaction rate is more that many merchants and content providers are willing to accept until the market demonstrates an ROI.
Facebook is introducing several changes to basic interactions of its social network such as Timeline and newsfeed advertising that some users are finding too invasive and may cause them to exit the platform.
While it has the benefit of being a global currency, charging 50 Facebook Credits for digital goods is acceptable in some countries but prohibitive in others.
Any breach in privacy or security, given the media’s willingness to hyper-cover these issues involving Facebook, could create major resistance to using the social network for commerce.
The novelty and enjoyment of Facebook diminishes and users turn to other social networks, like Pinterest or Twitter, to satisfy their needs.
"Facebook Credits are the airline miles for the next generation of social network users that want to purchase digital and virtual goods through a variety of apps on Facebook," Milyoni VP of Marketing Dean Alms said in a statement. "Beyond social games, Facebook users will be able to access online movies, concerts, spor...
Facebook takes a 30 percent cut of all revenue earned through Facebook Credits, leaving developers with the remaining 70 percent. Facebook's IPO numbers revealed that Facebook paid out $1.4 billion to developers in 2011 from transactions enabled by its Facebook's Payments infrastructure. Facebook Credits is growing as ...
It was frustrating to watch the end of Monday’s 75-72 loss to Barstow for Van Horn head coach Max Sollars.
The Knights hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to edge the Falcons that night. In Tuesday’s contest at St. Michael the Archangel, it was equally nerve wracking for Sollars.
His Falcons nipped at the heels of the Guardians the entire game, often trailing by just one, two or three points. But it seemed every time Van Horn had a chance to take the lead, it turned the ball over.
That’s what plagued them in a 70-67 non-conference loss to St. Michael.
The Falcons committed 20 turnovers, with 12 coming in the second half. A handful of those second-half turnovers came when the Falcons (11-12) had a chance to take the lead in late in the game.
“We just have to be mentally strong in the position we put our players in,” Sollars said. “It’s really important. Whenever you are in those spots, we have to just play. I think for the first time all season, we saw a little bit of sophomore in Jaden Monday.
Despite an off night shooting for Monday, he had 11 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists.
The Guardians (12-12) dominated the paint, scoring 42 of their 70 points there off the dribble drive, a putback or a pass to an open player underneath the basket. A few came off of Falcons turnovers, as well. Sollars credited the Guardians’ dominance in that category to the lack of rebounding by his team.
“It’s the same thing with us, the lack of pride to rebound,’ Sollars said. “outside of Isaac Fue-King and Isaiah Fue-King. When you start guys who are 5-8, 150 pounds in a Class 4 basketball game, it’s hard enough to get rebounds.
Van Horn took an early 7-4 lead in the first quarter, but a 13-0 run by St. Michael capped Steven McFeders fastbreak layup off his own steal made it 17-7, a lead the Guardians never surrendered.
St. Michael went into the second period up 23-14, but the Falcons slowly chipped away at the lead and came within two points of the Guardians on two different occasions. Van Horn junior William Quinn hit a 3-pointer to make it 30-28 midway through the second, and senior guard Xavier Marrero completed a conventional 3-p...
Van Horn pulled within one point on two occasions in the third, including a baseline jumper from Monday that made it 53-52. However, the Guardians closed the period on a 7-0 spurt started by freshman Michael Haggerty’s old-fashioned, three-point play.
They took a 60-52 into the fourth, but a Marrero layup and a Quinn three quickly made it 60-57. The Guardians countered with a 9-0 run to make it 69-57. The Falcons came back with a 7-0 spurt of their own capped by another Quinn three. However, the Falcons were never able to catch up as they committed four turnovers in...
“I thought we played well in the first half, then we got kind of sloppy in the third quarter,” said St. Michael junior forward Ben Palacios, who scored 14 points. “Then we picked it up at the beginning of the fourth and that was the difference.
Anthony Holden led the Guardians with 19 points and Deuce Roberts added 12.
Caleb Tannis led Van Horn with 16 points, followed by Quinn with 14 and Marrero with 11.
Optimism reigns in Eritrea and Ethiopia as their leaders take steps to bridge historical divides and erase old animosities.
A new era of friendship looks to have begun between two troubled African neighbours.
Eritrea's President Isaias Afwerki has made his first visit to Ethiopia in more than two decades after the countries agreed to end long-running hostility.
Since then Ethiopia and Eritrea have agreed to restore diplomatic, trade and transportation links.
To the delight of families that have been separated by the dispute, they will also reopen embassies, flight routes and direct telephone links.
U.S. must respond to chemical attack in Syria, White House press secretary says.
Aug. 27 - President Barack Obama weighs his options, including a military response, after a chemical weapons attack in Syria. Linda So reports.
It's video that has turned the world's attention to Syria. These images said to have been taken last week after a suspected chemical weapons attack that killed nearly 500 civilians.

Townhomes are popular among first-time homebuyers. They are also the choice of many people moving to the Nashville area from larger cities.
If you’re a homeowner ready to downsize to a smaller property but don’t want another lawn to mow, or if you’re a first-time buyer on a budget who wants to put your money in a house, not a yard, you might find what you’re looking for in two growing Sumner County neighborhoods.
In Hendersonville’s Durham Farms community, Goodall Homes is preparing to launch construction of at least 60 townhomes. Prices have not been announced, but townhomes typically are less expensive than single family houses because they do require large building lots.
Townhomes are especially popular among first-time homebuyers and single people. They are also the choice of many people moving to the Nashville region from larger cities, said Todd Reynolds, vice president of Goodall Homes.
“So many people are moving from Chicago and other places where they were used to townhomes. They like the fact you don’t have to take care of a yard,” he said.
In the Berry Hill subdivision in Hendersonville, Dalamar Homes is offering villas with a one-level floor plan that is especially appealing to buyers 55 and older, said Wanda Comer, a Realtor with Re/Max Masters. They range from 1,700 to 2,400 square feet. Prices begin in the $260,000s.
The villas have at least two bedrooms and can have a bedroom and bonus room on the optional second level.
“In Hendersonville they’re downsizing from these huge lots. But they’re (often) adding the bonus room upstairs for the grandchildren,” said Comer.
Berry Hill is located off Indian Lake Road, not far from Old Hickory Lake and dining, shopping and entertainments at the Streets of Indian Lake shopping center. The neighborhood has walking trails and a gazebo.
“The Berry Hill community has a country setting. We preserved so many trees and beautiful views. You can see the skyline of Nashville at night,” said Comer.
The villas have two-car garages and private, fenced outdoor areas. The HOA takes care of yard work.
“It’s maintenance-free living. You can spend time with family, hobbies,” said Comer.
Goodall Homes sees demand growing for townhomes in Sumner County. Its Durham Farms townhomes will be similar to those the company offered in its Millstone subdivision. They have three bedrooms, two and a half baths and garages. Those were immediately snapped up by buyers who were attracted by the design and by the pric...
“In a single-family house, it’s hard to find anything below $300,000. In the $200,000s, it catches people’s eye,” said Reynolds.
Goodall offers one-level cottages in Gallatin’s Carellton, Foxland Crossing and Retreat at Fairvue neighborhoods. The company also offers cottages at Millstone. Prices begin in the mid-$200,000s.
Both Millstone and Durham Farms are master-planned communities designed to encourage residents to lead active lifestyles.
Millstone’s amenities include a pavilion, a resort-style pool, a fitness center, a playground, a walking trail and an event lawn.
Durham Farms, located off Drakes Creek Road, features trails for walking, running and biking, a fitness center, a resort-style pool and clubhouse, parks and green space.
A mechanism that would best utilise all funds paid by developers for permits issued under the Floor Area Ratio (FAR) policy, which governs high-rise projects, is being finalised.
The fund is intended to support cultural infrastructure and spaces.
A spokesperson from Arts Council Malta confirmed when contacted that the moneys are being reserved in the public art fund until the fund is fully structured.
The structuring is within the remit of the Permanent Secretary of the Culture Ministry, who is overseeing the process.
Although no data is yet available about the amount that has been contributed to this fund so far, a number of high-rise projects have already made contributions under the 2015 law.
Among these, for example, was Tumas Gasan Holdings, whose project for a high-rise development in Mrieħel was approved by the Planning Authority subject to an imposed financial contribution in line with the new law. The developers contributed a total of €50,000.
Once the infrastructure for this fund is in place, Arts Council Malta is expected to launch a public campaign detailing how such funds will be utilised, with guidelines being set down in order to ensure that the funds are invested in a way that would best benefit the needs of the artistic community.
