It's unfortunate to say, but this year there will be no playoff hockey at Jobing.com Arena. Although that means the Whiteout will not make its fourth straight appearance, it does mean that the Coyotes will be playing with nothing to lose. In tonight's game, Phoenix will try to exact some revenge and recover some pride when they play the San Jose Sharks for the fifth and final time this season.
If you're looking for a reason as to why Phoenix couldn't get in the playoffs down the stretch, the Sharks are a pretty good one. Last season the Coyotes won 4 of 6 against San Jose; this season they've only managed to beat them once, a 1-0 shootout victory at HP Pavilion. Coyotes fans will also probably remember the 4-0 drubbing the Sharks gave Phoenix the last time they played here. With 59 points (25-14-7), San Jose is guaranteed a playoff berth and are currently deadlocked with Los Angeles in the 4-5 matchup. They will want home-ice advantage in the 1st round if they can manage it, as they are an impressive 17-2-5 in San Jose.
Despite the fact that the Coyotes will not make the postseason, there are still plenty of things to play for. Several players are in their contract years, and will want to put on a show to justify getting re-signed by Don Maloney. And after a painful 4-0 pounding in Detroit Monday night, the Coyotes would absolutely like to respond with a strong game and two points.
Five For Winning
1. Stay Out of the Box. The Coyotes were a dismal 1-4 on the penalty kill. With their struggles on offense, every power play goal conceded is magnified. The easiest way to not give up goals shorthanded is to not be shorthanded.
2. Who Wants It? There have been quite a few Coyotes under-performing this season, for various reasons. Hopefully someone decides to step up and demonstrate they still want to play hockey the right way.
3. Mike Smith, be Mike Smith. Smitty shutout the San Jose Sharks three times last season and once this year. If he wants to earn the big bucks with the Coyotes or another club next season, he will need to turn in a vintage performance.
4. Forecheck. Despite the lopsided score Monday night, there were stretches of that game where the Coyotes had Detroit hemmed in their own zone and on their heels. More often than not, cycling the puck in the offensive zone and keeping the puck away from the other team will get you a win.
5. Put On a Show. There are only two home games left in the season, and three overall. Coyotes fans have responded to this team's recent success by showing up in greater numbers than in years past. Even if there isn't playoff hockey, give them something to cheer about tonight.
Projected Starting Goaltenders
As you can see by Greiss' stats, Antti Niemi has played the lion's share of games for the Sharks this year, including last night in a 3-2 win over Dallas. Todd McLellan left the possibility of playing Greiss open for tonight's game, so he might opt to give Niemi a little rest down the stretch to get him ready for the playoffs.
There may not be a team in the NHL Smith enjoys playing against more than the Sharks. With four shutouts over the past two years, Smitty is a formidable opponent. Expect to see him in net tonight.
Players to Watch
No one is better at punishing the Phoenix Coyotes than Joe Pavelski. He has two goals and four assists against Phoenix this season. The Coyotes will once again have their hands full with San Jose's top talent.
It has been a rough season for Vermette. After struggling to score consistently, Vermette's recent woes have been in the penalty department; he took two bad penalties against Detroit that both resulted in power play goals. He will need to have a much cleaner game tonight.
Injury Report
The Sharks' lone injury is Jason Demers, who will be out of tonight's action with a foot injury.
The Coyotes are skating with a completely healthy roster.
Puck Drop
Tonight's game is at 7 PM at Jobing.com Arena. You can catch the action on Fox Sports Arizona or XTRA 910 AM.

So where is Llangollen? It's situated in Denbighshire and is a small town with a population of just 3,412. The community in North-East Wales is on the River Dee, which is on the edge of the Berwyn mountains. It has a rich history for it's background and the name itself was derived from a monk in the 6th century, Saint Collen (from the Welsh llan meaning 'fortified church yard' and gollen meaning Collen) who had founded a church by the river.
Llangollen has links to places such as Brittany, Colan, Langolen and Cornwall and lots to see and do for tourists. To the North of the town is the Castell Dinas Bran, also known as a fortress of the Princes of Powys. It also boasts some amazing scenic views from the hills and valleys, perfect for long walks. Something to keep the historians amongst you happy, and something to sight see too.
It has routes for various types of transportation, like railways, waterways and the canal. Llangollen used to be an agricultural and farming area, with sheep farming and weaving being the main trades. Culturally it has a lot to offer too; from a traditional local brass band, the Llangollen Fringe Festival (an independent arts festival which takes place during the summer), the Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod, and Dee Rocks, which is a music event designed to bring in financial support to the smaller good causes that are local, as it's also a local fundraiser. Today it relies quite a lot on tourism for it's business, but there are enough attractions, events to go to, sights to see and things to do to keep everyone happy.
Although in terms of sport, they host a range of activities and even some UK and International events for things like white water Slalom canoeing and kayaking. At Tower Fields that overlooks the town of Llangollen, the football, the rugby union and cricket teams hold matches there as well. In the Southern part of the town where the Thermals rise, it's a favourite with paragliders, and mountain biker enjoy the hills.
It was last Friday when I and my cousin Lianne decided to spend a great weekend at Llangollen. I love the fresh air and the nature, it is truly rejuvenating. The perfect place to relax for overly worked people like us. But before we went for a vacation, I made sure to meet the SEO expert from SEO Nottingham company to give the specifications of the new project. Working with them has always been easy and they deliver excellent work on time. As for Lianne, she did her homework in providing clear instructions to Hong Kong Website Design. She outsourced her other projects to them because they are undermanned. She was happy to find this service provider for her company; according to her former business partner they are reliable.
For more than a year of planning at last we were able to make our dream vacation come true, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. It took us a few hours to reach our destination. Thanks to my brother Dave who drove us all the way to the train station. He used his new Ford car from cheap new car. The car has good machine and at the same time affordable. You will have a great deal of savings. We had the time of our lives in Llangollen. We catch up with each other's lives. Talk about almost anything that has transpired and reminisce our younger years over mouth-watering and healthy dishes.
Among my cousins, Lianne is the closest because we went in the same university and lived at the same flat that we rented at Student Letting Agent Nottingham. Then after graduation, we pursued different careers, I focused on advertising while she opted to work freelance as web designer and then put up her own company. I am happy for her because she becomes successful in her business. She has her own house now and she suggested that I search prospective houses in quick sale andquick house sale .As for the loan she recommended home loans with bad credit and low rate loan durham. According to her these two have good programs and reputation in housing loans. I'm thankful for her tips since I'm really planning to buy my own house in the near future. I'm amazed that Lianne has grown to become a responsible adult because she was so playful back then.
I'm very comfortable sharing my stories with her even to the most absurd ones because she is a good listener and she is also open to me. She shared me her plan to buy a Mercedes by next month and she browsed mercedes deals to learn more about the features of the latest Mercedes cars. This way, she could decide well which Mercedes car she would buy. Having a one on one talk with her has always been a breeze. I have fun and learn so much from her every time we talk. How I wish that we could have this kind of vacation often.
When we were about to sleep she offered me this herbal colon cleanse drink, she said it made her feel healthy and her skin glow. Well, it shows that's why immediately took it and asked her if she could give me an extra bottle. Lucky me she had an extra drink.
We enjoyed the following day trekking, eating and exploring the place, it's really heaven on earth. I am looking forward for another vacation there.
We went home on Sunday night. I was somewhat tired but happy. I decided to stay at my parents' home for a week. When I arrived, I saw my mom gift wrapping the Breitling Colt watch that she will give to my dad on his birthday. I helped her in choosing that watch; my dad will surely like it. It's in between casual and formal.
When I went to kitchenette, I noticed the new sink; its material is good and elegant. My mom said it's a Franke Maris sink which she bought at Villeroy and Boch sinks. I really like it. I told my mom that I will buy the same sink once I have my own home. She asked me to check out houses in buy to let property because according to her my older sister saw her nice house there at a great price. Wow, I've got enough advises about buying a house. I chatted with her for some time, asked how she is doing and other similar things. Before I finally went to bed, I gave her a bag of toys and baby's clothes that I bought from baby deals online. I requested her to give them to my nephews and nieces when they drop by since I don't really know when I can make time again to do all those things.

JURIST Guest Columnist William Araiza of the Brooklyn Law School says that the Douglas case demonstrates that larger ideological issues can be at stake in seemingly minor and technical disputes, such as the Supremacy Clause and administrative agency appeal issues at hand in Douglas...
Thus, after the procedural dust had settled, the Court faced the following situation: the plaintiffs were challenging changes to the state's reimbursement schedule that were approved by the supervisory federal agency, alleging that the changes conflicted with federal law and were pre-empted. This procedural posture raised an added dimension to the plaintiffs' claims that was absent when the Court granted certiorari; given the agency's approval of the state's changes, the plaintiffs' preemption claim had to account for the fact that the federal agency had approved them. This fact did not necessarily defeat the plaintiffs' claims on the merits; it is always possible to argue that the agency itself misapplied federal law. Indeed, this is a common argument made by parties challenging federal administrative agency action. However, the agency's approval raised questions about the form of the lawsuit. Did the federal agency's approval of the state law transform the lawsuit into a standard federal administrative law case, rather than a constitutional one under the Supremacy Clause?
In Douglas, a five-member majority led by Justice Breyer thought this might be the case. It noted that the agency's approval of the state law changes might make it more appropriate for the plaintiffs to sue the agency under the federal Administrative Procedure Act, rather than the state under the Supremacy Clause. The majority also noted that, as a substantive matter, the agency's approval of the state law could affect the result of the case if the court deferred to the agency's interpretation of federal law (as courts often do). It thus speculated that the answer to the question on which it granted certiorari the availability of a cause of action based on the Supremacy Clause might be influenced by the availability of a separate and distinct administrative law cause of action. But rather than decide that question, the Court vacated the decision of the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and remanded the case back to that court, essentially, to decide whether the Court's tentative analysis was in fact correct.
The four-justice minority, with Chief Justice Roberts writing, disagreed with this result. Notably, the dissent did not take issue with much of the majority's analysis of whether a Supremacy Clause right of action should be allowed in this case. Rather, Roberts argued that the Supremacy Clause right of action issue could and, indeed, should have been decided by the Court without a remand to the Ninth Circuit to consider the issue in light of the intervening agency approval of the state law. According to Roberts, allowing plaintiffs to sue under the Supremacy Clause if a state law or action conflicts with a federal law would completely circumvent the Court's intricate jurisprudence when state violations of federal law give rise to a cause of action under 42 USC § 1983. For him, it was enough to decide the case that Congress failed to provide for a private right of action in the particular provision of the Medicaid law at issue. For that reason, he would have decided the cause of action issue without a remand.
It is hard to know who has the better of this dispute since, as the dissent noted, both sides appear to agree that a Supremacy Clause cause of action in this context might be inappropriate. The real issue appears to be when the Court should leave issues to be decided by appellate courts in the first instance if, as here, post-certiorari developments raise a new dimensions to a case. However, more than a mere technical dispute may be lurking behind the majority's preference for letting the appellate process work its way through the issue and the dissent's preference for announcing a general rule without reference to how the causes of action interacted in this case. Instead, one can read this dispute as reflecting a debate on bright-line rules in regards to separation of powers issues here, the availability of a judicial remedy for Supremacy Clause violations and the availability of private rights of action more generally.
Why did Chief Justice Roberts criticize the majority's remand to allow the lower court to consider the Supremacy Clause cause of action in light of an intervening fact? Perhaps he thinks that that intervening fact the ripening of an administrative law cause of action was irrelevant to the issue. If, on remand, the Ninth Circuit finds the Supremacy Clause cause of action survives, it might be because of the unique interplay of the two particular causes of action, perhaps against the backdrop of the case's particular facts. Chief Justice Roberts has led the Court's conservative bloc to frown on such context-specific analysis in separation of powers cases and to focus instead on enforcing bright-line rules. For example, in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, he distanced the Court's five conservatives from the "all factors considered" approach from Morrison v. Olson when deciding the scope of the president's Article II power over executive officers. In Stern v. Marshall, another opinion for same five-justice majority, Roberts similarly distanced the Court from its previous free-floating balancing test approach (exemplified in Schor v. Commodities Futures Trading Corporation) when considering the constitutionality of non-Article III federal tribunals. In all three of these cases, he called for bright-line rules: no "double immunity" from presidential removal of executive officers (Free Enterprise Fund), reliance on the public-private rights distinction to determine the constitutionality of "Article I courts" (Stern) and a flat ban on private rights of action based on the Supremacy Clause (Douglas).
The only difference is that in Douglas Roberts lost Justice Kennedy's vote. Of course, the Court will have a chance to reconsider the availability of Supremacy Clause-based causes of action when the Ninth Circuit decides the issue on remand and the losing party seeks Supreme Court review. It is anyone's guess whether Justice Kennedy will rejoin the conservative wing at that time. On the one hand, he may feel pressure to rejoin his conservative colleagues as a matter of broad doctrinal consistency on these types of issues. On the other, Justice Kennedy has always considered access to courts a uniquely crucial part of our system witness his decision to join the liberal bloc in the last Guantanamo Bay habeas case, Boumediene v. Bush, as well as his reliance on the importance of judicial review in Legal Services Corporation v. Velazquez, where the Court struck down federal restrictions on the types of legal claims that could be brought by federally-funded legal service organizations. However he decides, he will likely confront a Court that is split along well-established ideological lines, allowing him to play his usual role as the swing vote. More generally, Douglas illustrates that large principles can lurk within seemingly minor, technical disputes.

My crop tool does not work
How do I activate it?
This is my first experience with the Forum and I am thrilled to receive your fast response, Barbara\
I click on the crop icon and drag the icon over the photo and the crop box does not appear .With my Dell scanner, the crop box appears immediately. Using Elements,( Version 3 ) the only way I can crop is to Select the photo and then keep clicking on the crop icon and sometimes a small crop box appears after what seems to me to be 10 minutes and other times, nothing appears. Generally, nothing appears. I give up and print the photos without cropping.
Thanks, Bieco
Can you help with this bit of information, Please?
Sir Frederick
Quidquid latine dictum sit altum viditur
First, its not really "click & drag" -- its just "click the crop button".
That said, in the editor it seems work ok if you try and drag it, but that is not really what you want. Just click it, let the button back up then
move the cursor over-top of the photo.
There should be no delay in the editor -- I notice a delay if you try and crop in the organizer -- and that one will NOT click+drag, so just click it and wait a couple of seconds.
Personally I don't like the organizer's crop tool, but if I had no other editing to do I would probably use it.
Then delete the prefs: quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys down until you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.
I might add that I prefer to crop with the marquee tool: drag a marquee, then go to Image>Crop.
It's there. Click and hold on the Recompose tool and choose it from the popout menu. Many tools are tool groups with several tools in the same toolbox slot. You can also bring up a particular tool by clicking its keystroke repeatedly till you get the one you want. In the case of recompose/crop, just tap the C key until you see it in the toolbox.
I have Version 3 and would like to know if Version 9 is vastly superior and if I buy it does Photoshop offer telephone help? If yes do they limit you to a few events or do they help for a period of time, say a year? When I called for help I was told that my Version is long gone and if I needed help they charge. I do not remmber how much but I think it was in the neighborhood o f$40 .I have windows XP and my grandson showed me how to use the crop tool which in V.3 IS on the left side
Thanks for the reply to my question

This is the lighted shower mirror that remained fog-free the longest and mounted most easily and securely in quality tests conducted by The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute.
While lesser models completely steamed up after only five minutes in a hot shower, The Best mirror was still fog-free after more than 20 minutes thanks to a unique hot water reservoir that keeps the mirror at the same temperature as the surrounding area. Instead of attaching with unreliable suction cups that quickly lose their grip, The Best mirror is easily installed with non-marring removable silicone adhesive. It was the only tested model that stayed in place for the duration of the testing period and adhered to slate, fiberglass, and tile.
The 8" x 6" shatterproof acrylic displays the entire face and tilts to accommodate users of different heights. LEDs on each corner enhance visibility in dimly lit shower stalls and a built-in storage shelf holds a razor. Includes squeegee and three AA batteries.

This is the only lamp with a light beam that widens or narrows to provide daylight-simulating illumination for hobbies or ambient lighting.
Simply pulling the patent-pending shade adjusts the light beam to 711 different diameters between 3" and 31" when the lampshade is 12" away from the lighted surface. At maximum zoom, the 3"-diameter beam produces more than 10,000 LUX (2-1/2X brighter than a typical lamp) that's ideal for illuminating fine details of crafts, and the 31" beam provides optimal light for reading or ambient illumination. Light is produced by one 50,000-rated LED that generates clarity-enhancing, crisp white illumination that simulates natural daylight to help reduce eyestrain. An adjustable 15-1/2" gooseneck can be raised, lowered, or twisted for optimal light projection. The lamp has a steel pole and an anodized aluminum shade with a nickel finish and gold accents.

Available only at Hammacher Schlemmer, we tested these 100% Turkish cotton towels against other premium towels on the market.

Their 1/4" thick pile makes them very soft while an abundance of tightly-wound loops offer superior warmth and absorbency. All towels are oversized for comfort and full coverage. Their softness is enhanced with subsequent washings as the threads "bloom."

The Temperature Regulating Blanket
Using patented technology developed for NASA, this is the blanket that absorbs, stores, and releases heat to prevent chills or overheating which can result in restlessness.

The Museum Precious Metals Cleaning Plate.
Using electrolytic action instead of traditional chemical polish abrasion, this tarnish remover bathes away tarnish from oxidized silver without removing any of the underlying metal. Simply place the 6" x 8" cleaning plate in a sink of hot water, add the activator, and immerse the tarnished metal. Tarnish dissolves and transfers to the cleaning plate, which lasts indefinitely and rinses clean under the tap. Non-toxic and harmless to precious gems, the tarnish remover cleans copper, quality brass, bronze, stainless steel, silver, and gold. Includes 1 lb. of activator; use 1 tbsp. per 1/4-cup of water. 6" W x 8" L. (3 oz.)$29.954.1/5 (14) -
120 Hour Personal Mosquito Repeller.
This device clips unobtrusively to a belt and repels mosquitoes within a 15' radius for up to 120 hours. Eliminating the need to apply chemical-based sprays, the device automatically emits the subtle floral scent of geraniol, a plant-derived essential oil that naturally repels mosquitoes, ticks, and no see-ums.
Laboratory tests performed by a University of Florida entomologist proved geraniol to be more effective than DEET--the chemical in most bug repellents--at warding off biting insects. The mosquito repeller has a silent fan that constantly surrounds you with an invisible shield of geraniol.
About the size of a PDA, the mosquito repeller won't impede daily movements. Includes two geraniol cartridges. Requires two AA batteries.

The Home Floor Scrubber/Polisher.
This home floor cleaner scrubs and polishes any hard surface floor or carpet with a commercial machine's vigor, yet is easily controlled with one hand. The dual, counter-rotating nylon brushes spin at 470 rpm to remove deeply imbedded stains from carpets and buff a brilliant sheen into hardwood floors, tile, or marble.
The 1/3-horsepower machine can be used with any home cleaning solution or stain remover and is as easy to operate as a vacuum cleaner; the brushes engage with a tap of the foot pedal, its lightweight, slim design and wheels allow you to quickly navigate around furniture and along walls, and the 18'-long cord provides enough slack to clean large areas. Three sets of pads--felt (wood floors), microfiber (tile) and terry cloth (carpet)--accommodate different surfaces, or you can leave the brushes uncovered to scrub concrete in a garage or basement.
The rugged ABS housing and 18-gauge steel handle ensure years of reliable use. Plugs into AC. 40" H x 11-1/2" W x 8-1/2" D. (6 lbs.)$99.952.8/5 (5) -
This is the Roomba specially designed to clean carpets and floors while circumventing the pets' food and water bowls.
Exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, Roomba comes with a virtual barrier that sets up near pet bowls and creates a 20"-diameter circle through which Roomba will not pass, preventing the robotic vacuum from bumping and spilling water and pet food. Made by iRobot, developers of tactical reconnaissance robots for the U.S. military, Roomba has dual, counter-rotating brushes that reach deep into carpet fibers and quickly remove pet hair and dander.
Roomba analyzes the dimensions of a room, determines the optimal cleaning path, and navigates autonomously to clean the floor. Integrated sensors detect areas of high dirt concentration, prompting Roomba to spend more time cleaning these locations. The cleaning head automatically adjusts to accommodate carpets or hard floors and dual air filters ensure only clean air is recycled. It can be scheduled to automatically clean up to seven times per week or prompted to spot clean.
Virtual barrier requires two C batteries.

Pressure Boosting And Clog Preventing Handheld Showerhead
This is the showerhead used by five-star resort spas for its power, water-saving technology, and durability.
Using the Venturi principle of fluid mechanics, the showerhead has 16 air vents that inject oxygen into the chamber as a three-fin turbine accelerates water velocity, resulting in increased pressure while using 30% - 70% less water. Manufactured using acetal-resin engineering plastic, renowned as a low-friction and wear-resistant metal substitute, the showerhead will neither clog nor corrode, ensuring a lifetime of optimal water flow. The spray dynamics have a comfort-control feature that adjusts to achieve a soft mist or massaging spray and uses 1/2" plumbing.

The Healthiest Deep Fryer.
This fryer makes up to 2 lbs. of crisp, succulent fried food using only one tablespoon of oil. The nominal amount of oil results in french fries with only 3% fat--far superior to the 14% fat content of conventionally deep-fried potatoes. An internal convection oven heats to 338 degrees F and evenly circulates hot air to cook chicken wings, shrimp, or spring rolls with the same crunchy exterior and moist interior produced by conventional deep fryers. Food slowly revolves around the nonstick basin while an integrated paddle automatically turns and mixes ingredients with the oil and other seasonings to ensure even cooking. Virtually all of the cooking oil is absorbed by the food, eliminating the hassle of disposing of large quantities of used oil. The device does not require any preheating, it has a timer, and its cover, cooking basin, and paddle are dishwasher safe.

The 2X Brighter Cordless Motion Activated Light.
Available exclusively from Hammacher Schlemmer, this cordless, weatherproof light illuminates porches, decks, or patios with LEDs that are twice as bright as typical models. Its six ultra-bright LEDs produce 72 lumens of glare-free light, providing a wide-angle beam similar to a floodlight.
The light mounts easily anywhere you desire with the included mounting plate and screws, and no wiring is required. It can be tilted vertically and rotated for any desired position. Its motion sensor will turn the light on at night when it detects movement and shuts the light off when no motion is detected for 30 seconds.
Four C batteries (required) provide power for up to a year; LEDs are rated for 100,000 hours.

The Only Flameless Grill Smoker
This is the only wood chip smoker box that generates flavor-enhancing smoke without producing flames, resulting in more concentrated, robust flavor. Eight s-shaped vents on the lid of the oval cylindrical smoker allow just enough oxygen to produce smoke but not enough to generate flames, ensuring wood chips smolder slowly and allowing more smoke flavor to infuse with food.
The smoker is made from durable 20-gauge 304 steel that allows placement atop hot coals or gas burners and it holds up to 8 oz. of wood chips. Includes a removable 13" handle that allows cooks to place the smoker on the heat source or remove it from the grill to add additional wood chips.

Mold and Germ Destroying Air Purifier.
This is the air purifier that eliminates up to 100% of airborne bacteria, mold, viruses, pet dander, dust mites, and pollen without making a sound or using a filter. The device uses natural convection to silently draw airborne impurities into its patented ceramic heating chamber that instantly destroys the microorganisms with 400 degree F heat.
An independent laboratory confirmed that the unit destroyed 100% of bacteria and mold regardless of the microorganism's size or level of hazardousness. The sanitized air is cooled and recirculated into the room, providing a healthier breathing environment without producing ozone or requiring you to clean or replace a costly filter.
The air purifier remains cool to the touch and the heat it produces will not affect room temperature.

This is the gently inclined mattress topper that provides relief from the symptoms of heartburn, sinus congestion, and snoring. The mattress topper starts level with the foot of the bed and inclines subtly, raising a sleeper's upper body to reduce acid reflux and allow gravity to gently drain sinus passages. The interior is made from soft yet supportive cooling gel memory foam that contours to the shape of the body to relieve pressure points and provides a comfortable cushion on which to sleep. The memory foam stays cool to the touch and it won't develop permanent depressions as it immediately reclaims its original form when you get up.

Republicans push alternative to default in debt-ceiling battle
- Tweet
- Share this
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican lawmakers are preparing to introduce legislation to direct the U.S. Treasury to make interest payments on U.S. bonds first and then prioritize other government outlays in case Congress does not raise the debt ceiling.
Supporters of the idea see it as a politically palatable alternative to default, which could rattle markets as occurred in the summer of 2011. The likelihood of another market-unsettling event is challenging Republicans to find another idea as they use the debt ceiling as leverage to extract spending cuts from President Barack Obama.
But critics, including some Republicans, say prioritizing payments is largely unworkable and would not fool the markets.
The Treasury hit the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling, or the legal amount it is allowed to borrow, on New Year's Eve and started moving funds around so that the government can continue paying its bills. But the department said it will run out of funds as early as mid-February.
Among those advocating the approach is Republican Senator Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is expected to reintroduce legislation next week to instruct the Treasury to make sure bondholders got paid first if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling by the deadline.
In the House of Representatives, Arizona Republican David Schweikert introduced legislation that would force the Treasury to prioritize payments to bondholders, Social Security recipients and military salaries.
"No one is talking about default except for the president," said Patrick Tiberi, a Republican Representative from Ohio who heads a tax-writing subcommittee.
"He doesn't need to default because he has enough revenue, money coming in from the taxes that you guys pay to pay bills," Tiberi told reporters Tuesday.
"Ninety-nine percent of my constituents would say that sending out Social Security payments and keeping veteran hospitals open is a bigger priority than national parks," he said.
But former advisers to Republican President George W. Bush say the idea is unworkable for a number of reasons, including the fact that tax revenue does not come in at the same rate that payments are due.
"Prioritization is impossible," said Tony Fratto, who was Deputy Press Secretary for Bush and a spokesman on economic policy who fought through approximately seven debt limit increases with Congress.
"Is the government really going to be in the position of withholding benefits, salaries, rent, contract payments etc., in order to pay off Treasury bondholders? That would be a political catastrophe," Fratto said.
Keith Hennessey, Bush's National Economic Council director, said prioritization was a bad idea that could increase credit risk and said it would be irresponsible.
"Payment prioritization doesn't stop payments, it just delays them. Then the aggrieved party sues the government, and probably wins, and it turns into a bloody mess," Hennessey, now an economist at Stanford, said in a blog post this week.
Even when the government was operating under a budget surplus, as it did from 1998 through 2001 under President Bill Clinton, the Treasury still had to borrow or issue debt to make its regular payments because its income fluctuates month-to-month.
The department is expected to run out of ways to stave off a default as early as mid-February, and Republican lawmakers say they will refuse to give the Obama administration the votes needed to raise the debt cap unless Democrats agree to spending cuts and changes to federal benefits programs
On February 15, the government is expected to take in about $9 billion in revenues and is required to pay bills amounting to $52 billion, according to the think tank the Bipartisan Policy Center, which analyzed Treasury's cash flows.
The Treasury Department has said ensuring that bond investors got paid before others would be a "default by another name."
And in the past, Treasury officials have said the department lacks the formal legal authority to establish priorities to pay obligations, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government can not pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that "the buck stops here." Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
And for the past three years, the House of Representatives has refused to live up to that Constitutionally imposed duty.

Now into the third year of the review RNIB still wants the Work Capability Assessment to meet the needs of blind and partially sighted individuals accessing Employment and Support Allowance. Our evidence to the independent Harrington Review argues that the assessment is failing to adequately reflect the barriers faced by people with sight loss and there are heavy flaws in the processes of assesment itself.
RNIB believes that the proposed assessment process to move people off Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and determine entitlement to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is being designed to meet an arbitrary reduction in expenditure. It is essential that blind and partially sighted people are able to understand the new processes which will require existing DLA claimants to make a fresh application for PIP. Blind and partially sighted claimants must have accessible communications from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and any private organisations running assessments. Blind and partially sighted claimants, like all other disabled people undergoing the process of reassessment, will need independent information and advice to help navigate the new systems and processes. RNIB is very concerned that the plans for reassessment could still erect barriers to compliance that are: avoidable; more expensive; and will deny blind and partially sighted people access to vital support.
The Government is to replace Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with Personal Independence Payment (PIP). We responded in detail to the White Paper and to the draft regulations . We continue to be involved in further discussions with officials at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). The requirement to make over £1 billion in savings hangs over them. This has proved an obstacle to developing a benefit that properly meets the range of needs of disabled people and not least the additional costs associated with sight loss. There are a number of areas where we consider that the impact of sight loss has not been properly recognised. In some cases this is due to the restrictive definition of an activity, in others because the criteria specifically define conditions or circumstances that apply but exclude particular groups of people.
The Government has started listening to blind and partially sighted people and the organisations that represent people with sight loss. However, the draft regulations still need considerable work. The Government wants to develop criteria which are clear to understand and apply and are consistent in their outcome. We are not yet satisfied the assessment will lead to clear or consistent outcomes for blind and partially sighted claimants.
Localising support for council tax in England could have a significant effect on blind and partially sighted people. Blind and partially sighted people are disproportionately likely to need means-tested support with housing costs. We are concerned localising support for council tax could exacerbate disability poverty.
RNIB does not support a "tick box and points" assessment methodology, preferring a more holistic approach to assessing the additional costs and barriers to participation experienced by disabled people. It is therefore a cause for concern that this current consultation takes place without our knowing what the points are for the descriptors. We are concerned that large numbers of blind and partially sighted people would fail to qualify for Personal Independence Payment as a consequence of the limited insight into the effects of visual impairment suggested by the current proposals.
RNIB wants the Work Capability Assessment to identify those individuals who might face extra barriers to accessing work and therefore benefit from the additional job search support provided by Employment and Support Allowance. Our evidence to the independent Harrington Review argues that the assessment is failing to deliver against these objectives.
RNIB generally welcomes the recommendations set out in Liz Sayce's review but as as a starting point it is not a fair comparison to compare Remploy, Residential Training Colleges and Access to Work solely on their job outcomes since they are entirely different in their history and nature.
RNIB is concerned the focus on those "who face the greatest day-to-day challenges" threatens eligibility at levels of disability that currently qualify for Disability Living Allowance. It fails to recognise the extra costs of conditions that are long-term without being at the highest end of severity; and the preventative role of financial support at that stage. We fear the impact and implications of sight loss are underestimated.
RNIB's evidence highlights ongoing concerns regarding the Work Capability Assessment and the way in which blind and partially sighted people are being treated.
An independent review commissioned by DWP RNIB together with the other six members of the Disability Charities Consortium sent in a response to the independent review of specialist employment support for disabled people. The review, led by Liz Sayce, Chief Executive of RADAR asked for disabled people's views on the future of the Access to Work scheme, supported employment and residential training. The Disability Charities Consortium argued that increased pressures on unemployed disabled people to find work coupled with shrinking employment opportunities and a pre-existing disadvantage in the job marketplace means that it is more important than ever that disabled people are provided with effective and appropriate support to find work.
A joint submission from the visual impairment sector in response to the Department of Work and Pension's consultation on the review of Disability Living Allowance Our response highlights issues affecting blind, partially sighted, deafblind and dual sensory impaired people, illustrating in claimants own words the importance of DLA to blind and partially sighted people. We also set out what we think the assessment for the projected Personal Independence Payment (PIP) should look like, if it is properly to respond to the needs of blind and partially sighted people. RNIB, Action for Blind People, Deafblind UK, the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, The Macular Disease Society, the National Blind Children's Society, the National Federation of the Blind of the United Kingdom, the National League of the Blind and Disabled, SeeAbility, Sense and Visionary have all put their names and expertise behind the submission to the DWP.
Limited Capability for Work and Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity Amendment Regulations 2011, Social Security Advisory Committee on the regulations for Employment and Support Allowance. "RNIB together with Action for Blind People had a number of concerns following the internal review of Employment and Support Allowance at the DWP. We issued this joint response to the Social Security Advisory Committeee, looking at proposed changes in the operation of this important out-of-work benefit."
21st Century Welfare, Department for Work and Pensions The Green Paper proposes a major re-shaping of means-tested benefits and tax credits. Disabled people, not least those with sight loss, tend to have lower incomes than the general population. RNIB believes the Government has positive things to say on rationalising out-of-work benefits and tax credits. It is right to simplify the system but we caution DWP against the temptation to reduce out-of-work benefit levels and concentrate instead on reducing the numbers of those unnecessarily out of work, through genuine employment opportunities
Our response to the Work and Pensions Select Committee Inquiry on Decion making and appeals in the benefits system RNIB shares evidence on the variability in benefits decision-making, in particular with respect to decisions on Disability Living Allowance and Attendance Allowance. We call for better training in decision-making, especially in specialised areas such as mental health and sensory impairment. We also share evidence on the review and appeals stage of benefits decision-making, pointing out that reviews take too long.
No one written off: reforming welfare to reward responsibility' (DWP) RNIB responded to the Department for Work and Pensions' consultation on reform to the UK's welfare system. RNIB welcomed the announcement of a doubling of the Access to Work budget, expanding assistance to 48,000 people by 2013-14. The Green Paper offered a modest commitment to "…explore, with stakeholders, the effectiveness of Employment Retention Assessments in helping disabled people stay in work." Blind and partially sighted people welcome this step but now look to Government for action to deliver through its response to Dame Carol Black's 'Review of the Health of the Working Age Population' and steps it takes to implement the Independent Living Strategy. However, RNIB does have a number of concerns, including the degree of conditionality that is being proposed, with the potentially complex nature of assessing when it is 'reasonable' to expect a claimant to apply for jobs.

There are always mistakes and problems on major renovations, so everyone running around as if it were shocking was stupid. I was tired of Jeff's tantrums a long time ago.
The homeowners yapping about the alarm going off was embarrassingly rehearsed and scripted and badly "acted." At one point the wife's eyes kept cutting to the camera. They sounded like bad line readings from a low-rent porno. "Honey! The alarm's never done that before!"
I'd prefer less forced drama and more straight-forward design and renovation. But I guess we're supposed to understand that the homeowners don't get along or have issues and Jeff and Company somehow solve their personal problems in the course of doing the renovation. Or something.

After watching this, and then the new NY real estate show, I'm really, really tired of rooms with white, beige, taupe, black and maybe a flash of yellow or red. Can't believe that's still considered "fresh".
Looking forward to Jenny and Zoila talking about this show (and, of course, Jeff) on WWHL.

I think the husband's closet was one that was already there, and the smallest bedroom was used to become the wife's closet. The girls were then put into the same bedroom, which wasn't that big of a room. The boy got the room that had been used as the master. I have no problem with kid's sharing rooms if space or money is tight, but I'd be damned if I'd take over a bedroom from a child just so I didn't have to weed out some clothes, and deprive my purses of their own backlit, glassfront shelves!! The kids clearly didn't count in that sterile mess of a house -- the couches in the "family room" were white! No wonder the kids were thrilled with paint wars, it was the first time they got to be kids and get something dirty!I think one of the girl's room became the father's closet. (Not sure where the wife's closet came from).
Posted Mar 15, 2012 @ 8:16 AM
I need a re-watch to see if I can figure out if this was the plan. I remember the boy saying he would now have to share a bathroom with the girls who would be waking him up all night with their flushing. I sort of assumed that an addition or something would be happening after the show to make another bedroom for the kids, those two girls can't possibly share a room for very long. ITA that that mother was just a hot mess. If only she'd been acting for the cameras, instead it was her actual personality! It felt like the husband chose her because she would add some tall genes to the offspring, but man, that house was only for the mother--no one else. I can just imagine her laying tacks in the bed after the husband tries to use the bedroom TV, but at least he got a bed where he can touch the floor...I think the husband's closet was one that was already there, and the smallest bedroom was used to become the wife's closet. The girls were then put into the same bedroom, which wasn't that big of a room. The boy got the room that had been used as the master.
The crazy, rushed aspect seems better than Jeff; one thing I always liked about Flipping Out was that projects took a long time. The part that compensates for me is that he appears to be living in their home for the week, which is pretty much comedic gold, or could be. I can't believe he chose hand-cut marble tiles for the shower design for that amount of time, but it certainly was an impressive piece of work.
Per WWHL, I seriously hope he's peeing in a lot of shampoo bottles of bitchy/angry clients!!

And if your husband hasn't been able to touch the floor while sitting at the dining room table, in the living room, or from his bed, the wife may be the problem.If you've got so many clothes/purses/shoes that you have to kick your kid out of their room to turn it into a closet, you may have a problem.
Let's hope that if the smoke alarm ever goes off for a reason, she chooses to carry a family member out and not something from the closet(s).
Posted Mar 15, 2012 @ 10:46 AM
I didn't like it. What makes Flipping Out fun is that while Jeff is an ass, we have lovable Jenni and Zoila to balance him out.
So agree. I felt like the REAL Jeff, the neurotic, anal, such a dick-yet-I-love-him Jeff was just missing. He seemed like he wasn't even that interested in what he was doing, and what I've loved about Jeff is his passion for his projects. Seemed like it wasn't our Jeff.

The wife in this episode completely castrated her husband, who seems like a decent man. She better tone down the shrill, or she'll one day find herself in the first wives club.
I really don't care that Gage isn't in this, but does anybody know if they're still together?

ETA: So was the therapy part a lower bed, movable TV and closet space for the husband? Other than that I don't get the Therapy part of the title. Cute and seemingly nice kids tho considering having a shrew for a mom.

That? Was horrible (and apparently Jeff's idea). Of course, I'm surprised any of them had a room, since the husband couldn't get chairs or bed that would de-emphasize his height problems--or bring his clothes upstairs (!). What a selfish, selfish woman.If you've got so many clothes/purses/shoes that you have to kick your kid out of their room to turn it into a closet, you may have a problem.
re: show. I don't think it's a very good showcase for Jeff's business. 3 leaks? (big leaks, imo). Not measuring the "custom" headboard so that you could bring it upstairs without (at the last minute) gouging out the wall? Blowing through $12,000 of the customer's perfume so you can have fun harrassing your assistant?
So unprofessional--and seemingly incompetent and disrespectful, too. He's not that charming, actually seems like quite an ass. Oh, and peeing in a customer's shampoo bottle (WWHL)? Seriously, why would anyone hire this guy?
I didn't understand how they patched that hallway (wood, plaster, paint) before the couple came back. (I would be sooooo unhappy to have had that done to my hallway--and without my knowledge--because they mis-measured the headboard). I don't think this couple (with their "wimp/bitch" edit) will enjoy this ep.
