Harkin Statement on Affordable Care Act Enrollment Numbers
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
WASHINGTON, D.C.—U.S. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA), Chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, issued the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services released enrollment numbers for the first month of the Affordable Care Act marketplaces.
"I appreciate the Department's release of detailed enrollment data. As the Administration works through technical problems with the website's rollout, it's important that they be as transparent as possible. While the numbers are not as high as everyone would like, we should all step back, take a deep breath, and recognize the significance of these numbers. More than 100,000 people have gotten all the way through the process, and chosen a health plan through the marketplace. Almost 400,000 have enrolled in Medicaid through the marketplace. Those are hard facts – not rhetoric or politics. Those numbers mean that half a million people now have health coverage because of this law. In the coming months, we will hear from even more Americans – like the stories I am hearing from Iowans – who are taking advantage of this coverage."
As Chairman of the HELP Committee, Harkin played a pivotal role in the passage of the ACA. He also serves as Chairman of the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies.

This is the cheapest I've seen the furbies online if you are wanting to source one locally.
I ordered two from here in the new style. Amazon I believe is cheaper though.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 05:22 PM
Kmart is cheaper for furby's.
I brought DS a furby online for his birthday $100 with postage.
I got DD and my brother one for christmas from kmart $65 each (or $79 off sale)/
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:00 PM
Yes Kmart are cheaper but none have any in stock.
OP do you know what the difference of the two different priced ones are?
Posted 01 December 2012 - 08:37 PM
They just seem to be a different colour /style. I am wondering if they were able to get more stock of some colours more than others and that is the reason for the price difference ?
I had tried Kmart but had no luck getting one there either. Target and Big W don't seem to have any as well near me.

I was hoping to get one for a birthday very shortly.....but have had no luck.
Looks like I may have a very disappointed child
Didn't want to order from o/s and was worried it may be delayed in the post.
Posted 01 December 2012 - 11:18 PM
Have you tried Toyworld? I got 3 recently from there after having no luck anywhere else. They were $99 though.
Posted 02 December 2012 - 06:48 AM
Thanks Magician.
I will try Toyworld. Off to google them now!

My 7yo son just decided he must have one - I have no clue what they do! lol
Googled and found harvey norman big buys have the best price - http://www.harveynormanbigbuys.com.au/p/11...by-voodoo-furby ..
*oops, looks like they are sold out.

Mine shipped from Amazon and I had it within 7 days of ordering. My Furby's shipped DHL, the rest shipped I-parcel (and turned up today!). The Furby';s I bought were cheaper even with postage than the Kmart/Target sale prices AND they were the new duo coloured ones
I am not 100% sure what they do either
We had a play with one in Toyworld and the kids liked the way they felt better than the Fijit. (also liked the cute factor)

Harvey Norman still have yellow ones
Posted 02 December 2012 - 10:45 PM
I got mine pretty quickly from Amazon too. Worked out to be about $62 each (including shipping). Pretty happy about that!
Posted 02 December 2012 - 10:57 PM
I ordered one from Amazon too and it worked out to be $74.
Furby was $54. Postage $20. Still cheaper than buying it from Australia and you get new colors not out here.
But I see some have gone up in price since I ordered. I got Cotton Candy that I ordered is now $79. It's getting late to order from Amzon now.. estimated arrival time they are giving is 13-24 of dec.
Mumfirst you got a good deal. How much was your postage?
Posted 02 December 2012 - 11:01 PM
My 7yo son just decided he must have one - I have no clue what they do! lol
They talk, they are annoying and have no off button. If DD's demands to be fed at 2am it will be going in the garage at night! lol
Posted 02 December 2012 - 11:22 PM
They had them at US toysrus this morning for $54. I am not sure about shipping times or costs but they were cheap!

Shipping for me was $16.03 for 2. Sometimes it's easier to purchase mulitple items...I think 1 or 2 and even 3 would have cost between $15-$20 for shipping together.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:03 PM
Try Kmart today or tomorrow. I just got a call to say the Furby's I rainchecked came in today (the woman I originally rainchecked with told me they might not come in until after Christmas and even then I might not get one....which is why I went to Amazon instead)

Isn't Mighty Ape in Australia?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 01:16 PM
Myer Brookside had about 10 today for $99.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 01:48 PM
Isn't Mighty Ape in Australia?
Yes but their RRP is $120!!
Amazon have them for $54-60 and Kmart's Raincheck was $64 (I think?)
So Mighty Ape seem Mighty $$ Their discounted price is still more than elsewhere!

I paid $20 postage for 1 furby. My mistake. I think it cost more because it's coming from a secondary seller and shipped from Amazon. I checked to see how much is would be if I got one 'sold and shipped by Amazon' and postage was just over $9. Too late now but I blame that on DH because he was annoying me at the time I made the purchase and I didn't double check it was sold/shipped by Amazon! I still got it cheaper than they are selling them now though.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 06:53 PM
I got one today.....well DH did. From Myer.
Posted 04 December 2012 - 08:21 PM
ToysRUs wouldn't ship them to me but Amazon would.
These were the new two tone ones not the older ones. Possibly not able to ship the original ones as they are released here already.
Kmart might have them though. They got a new shipment yesterday and if there are any left after rainchecks they will be on the shelves.
Posted 08 December 2012 - 01:16 PM
I just ordered one from Amazon and their delivery is guaranteed before Christmas. Paid $54 and shipping was $9. Amazon have never let me down! I have ordered heaps from em this Christmas and everything has arrived within a week and been shipped the same day.

I got one from Kmart, I couldn't find them anywhere so I asked apparently they keep them (at the Store I went to anyway) out the back as they have had people layby them and not collect them while others have been desperate for one, I was able to choose between all colours and paid $65. I was really shocked to see them at David Jones the other day for $100

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Friday he's angry about being put through a long-running criminal investigation into his role in the firings of U.S. attorneys.
"I feel angry that I had to go through this. That my family had to suffer through and what for?" Gonzales said in an interview with CNN.
The investigation by career prosecutor Nora Dannehy that began in September 2008 found the Justice Department's actions in the firings of U.S. attorney David Iglesias of New Mexico during the Bush administration were inappropriately political, but not criminal. The investigative team also determined that the evidence did not warrant expanding the scope of the investigation beyond the removal of Iglesias.
Dannehy's "judgment as to political correctness of a decision by the attorney general or by the president of the United States, quite frankly, is inappropriate and unwarranted," said Gonzales.
He added the job of a prosecutor is to determine whether a crime has been committed, and there was no evidence in the removal of any of nine U.S. attorneys that any of the cases they handled were improperly influenced.
"This was about making a decision on personnel," Gonzales said. "I made the decision based upon what I thought was best for the department and for the American people. All these investigations have now confirmed that this was not to influence improperly any ongoing investigation or to punish anyone for political reasons."

Product description
Everything you should know--but PC professors won't teach--about our Western heritage Western civilization is the envy of the globe. It has given to the world universally accepted understandings of human rights (rooted in Judeo-Christian principles), created standards for art, music, and literature that have never been equaled, and originated political and social systems that have spread all across the planet. Unfortunately, the fog of political correctness now obscures these and other truths about Western civilization. Leftists and Islamic jihadists find common cause in assailing Western "colonialism," "imperialism," and "racism" as its defining characteristics. Guilt-ridden Western leaders and public figures speak of their cultural patrimony in disparaging terms they would never dare to use about a non-Western culture. And in the academy, "multicultural"-minded professors flatter students into believing they have nothing really to learn from Sophocles or Shakespeare. But now, Professor Anthony Esolen--one of the team-teachers of Providence College's esteemed Development of Western Civilization Core Curriculum--has risen to the West's defense. The Politically Incorrect Guide(TM) to Western Civilization takes on the prevailing liberal assumptions that make Western civilization the universal whipping boy for today's global problems, and introduces you to the significant events, individuals, nations, ideas, and artistic achievements that make Western civilization the greatest the world has ever known. Today--with the West imperiled as never before by the global jihad and threats from China and elsewhere--defending the West has become an urgent imperative: if we don't value what we have and what we have inherited, we will surely lose it. The Politically Incorrect Guide(tm) to Western Civilization is an essential sourcebook for that defense.

grapes! help!!
hello, i'm still a beginner gardener and i'm trying something new this year - grapes! i saw them at home depot and i thought i'd give them a try.
i've been reading and reading and reading but i'm too scared to do anything! haha!
could someone give me some advice on which cane to cut back when planting? i've read that you should keep the straightest one for training, but in my plants, the straightest ones look dead! what to do??? help please!!
Train the strongest shoot up a stake to your trellis. Pinch out the tip to make it branch as it nears the top wire. The other shoots can be taken out or left to grow on the ground or lower on the trellis.
Next spring if everything went well and you have a good straight trunk you can form the canes for fruit the following year. If things go poorly this year start over next year. Cut back to the lowest node and again train the strongest shoot up the trellis.
Leave the other (dead) canes for now. Its early in the season. If they develop shoots, they will likely be stronger than the new sucker shoots. Like fruitnut said, leave them until it is clear which cane is the strongest, and remove the others at that point. Don't worry about leaving the other "dead" looking ones for now. Only remove them this season when it is clear they are not producing the "dominant" cane.
Most plants this time of year should be planted outdoors. But grapes don't take freezing well, after they leaf out. You can plant them out but only if you protect from freezing. Even if they were to freeze back they would probably pull through. But to avoid giving you a heart attack, protect them from freezing.
Next spring they won't leaf out this early. Yours have gotten ahead of themselves either in the store or after you brought them home.
In general dormant fruit trees, vines, and shrubs should be planted outside while still dormant. Certain fruits are freeze sensitive, even the foliage, after they leaf out; grapes, figs, persimmon, and pecan foliage won't take much cold. The developing fruits are almost all freeze sensitive.

News analysis: Dayton faces political, fiscal reality of times
ST. PAUL -- Mark Dayton made one promise, in particular, hundreds of times in two years campaigning to become Minnesota governor.
It seldom differed much from what he said last January: "I promise that I will increase state funding for K-12 public education in real dollars every year I'm governor. No exceptions, no excuses."
That was then, this is now: "I will do my utmost."

The self-styled "civil rights" organization Southern Poverty Law Center, which despite mounting controversy maintains some links to government agencies, released a bizarre and factually challenged screed attacking critics and opponents of the deeply controversial United Nations plot known as Agenda 21. Apparently unfamiliar with the definition of basic words such as "conspiracy" and "theory," or with the UN plan itself, the SPLC also lashed out at "activist groups," "mainstream politicians," voters, "extremists," and others who question or oppose the UN agenda for what it calls "sustainable development" in the United States.
The Nevada ranching family of Cliven Bundy is battling a well-funded, powerfully connected cabal of government officials and their corporate cronies and foundation-funded radical environmentalists.
Faced with the implosion of discredited United Nations theories on "Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming," climate alarmists in the United Kingdom, including some in Parliament, are now pushing for a major crackdown on skeptics — or "realists," depending on one's point of view — in government, media, and more. As more and more scientists defect from the crumbling alarmist bandwagon, however, critics say the hysterical shrieking and dangerous rhetoric from politicians only serves to further illustrate the accelerating collapse of what many climate experts refer to as the "global-warming hoax."
Following the Obama administration's deeply controversial decision to cede U.S. control over key elements of the Internet's architecture, experts and former officials are warning that the United Nations and its largely autocratic member regimes are already plotting to tax and censor the World Wide Web. According to analysts, the UN would almost certainly start small — perhaps levying tiny "fees" on certain Web-based activities, or regulating content that virtually everybody would find objectionable — before quickly expanding the global Internet regime to raise vast sums of taxpayer cash while censoring free speech. The battle, however, is likely to be fierce.
Green Guru Lovelock blasts IPCC, IPCC author Professor Tol removes name from report, NASA scientist Woodcock calls climate alarmism "rubbish."

I. E. Heritage Heirloon Seed Swap
elliesfunMarch 24, 2012
The heirloon seed swap has been posted in the Round Robin. Come on over if you would like to join in on the heirloom vegetable seed swap.
tootsfolks(Main Line, PA)
Just getting started with a raised veggie garden after many years without one. Also planning to put in some fruit trees. Thinking I should do that in the fall here in SE Pennsylvania. Is that correct? What varieties have done the best? Also trying to eventually have all heirloom varieties and garden organically. Saving fruit and veggie leavings from the house for compost, but how do you keep the critters away from it w/o spending a lot of money on equipment?

Have you got your outdoor living space ready for summer weather? Whether it's a tiny porch high above the city, a covered patio, a deck or, lucky you, an expansive backyard, curtains can turn your outdoor room into the perfect summer hangout.
Defining your outdoor space with gorgeous curtains instantly boosts its appeal. So much so that you might want to budget for entertaining expenses, because once the curtains go up, all your friends will be dropping by.

This gorgeous rooftop patio in Barcelona is a stunning example of how simple white curtains in a stylish yet casual setting can bring a whole look together. The curtains give the feeling of a breezy seaside patio, and yet you're really in the heart of a bustling metropolitan city.
This stunning Italian-style home in Newport Coast, California, certainly is not an example of decorating on a budget (not a small one, anyway), but it is an example of how to set the stage with mystery and romance by way of some elegant pom-pom-fringed curtains in a delicate blush tone.
It's hard to believe that this gorgeous Mediterranean-style setting is actually a home in Cincinatti. The neutral curtains and upholstery and the dramatic overhead panels transform this spot into a tropical getaway. No need for the Greek isles; sit back and enjoy the comforts of home.
Think your home is too modern to sport outdoor curtains? Not so fast. Curtains add an elegant touch to this entrance of a modern Miami Beach dwelling. Coming home is like arriving at a posh beach resort, and one almosts expects to see a concierge just beyond those curtains.
Here the expansive curtain is a play on the idea of curtain-wall construction; it adds a soft, dramatic and very unexpected touch to the spare backyard landscaping.
These striped sunflower-yellow curtains add ethnic Mediterranean flair to this cabana in Santa Barbara, California. And if one is concerned about upkeep, curtains that are neither too dark nor too light will stay looking better longer.
This outdoor living room in Los Angeles is truly an extension of the home. The Moroccan lanterns are the perfect exotic touch, and they cast beautiful shadows on the walls, ceiling and solid fabrics when outfitted with candles at night.
This is a great example of experimenting with curtains in two contrasting colors, and in this case the teal-green curtains placed in the corner anchor the seating area as well as provide a stronger shield from the sun when drawn. Who wouldn't want to take a little midday nap here?

This outdoor room in a Westchester, New York, show house has outdoor curtains framing the dramatic view while creating a feeling of comfort and tranquility. The delicate and refreshing color scheme complements the rustic stone walls and the lush greenery beyond.
The color-blocked curtains bring the eye down and position us in a cool sea of blue, perfect for an outdoor room used primarily during the hot summer months.

Got a covered entrance porch? Take some tips from this Miami home and add a touch of breezy summer elegance by hanging classic white or cream curtains on three sides with tension cables.
The simple knotted curtains in this New Orleans home work overtime despite their simplicity. They serve as an important division between indoor and outdoor spaces, and they frame the view of the lush tropical garden.
The hidden potential of a spacious front porch in this Georgia Victorian is discovered through functional and confident design with splashes of bold color.
This perfect Glen Ridge, New Jersey, two-story porch addition looks like it has always been part of the home, and the subtle white curtains might even look like living room curtains at first glance.
I don't think the neighbors would have a problem with this one, and in any case, since it's New Jersey, those curtains will probably come down in the winter.
Important considerations when you're buying outdoor curtains:
I don't think the neighbors would have a problem with this one, and in any case, since it's New Jersey, those curtains will probably come down in the winter.
Important considerations when you're buying outdoor curtains:
- Will your curtains be decorative, or would you like them to function as shields from the sun as well as provide privacy? Curtains are available in sheers as well as opaque fabrics. Dark fabrics will block light considerably more than light fabrics, also an important consideration, as you may not want your outdoor room to become cave-like when the curtains are closed. Consider using dark panels where sun protection is most warranted, paired with light-colored panels in other areas.
- Is UV protection important to you? There are several brands of outdoor curtains, including inexpensive polyester ones, that provide UV protection.
- For an investment that you can enjoy for years to come, make sure your curtains are made from certified outdoor fabric and that any hardware is graded for outdoor use. Outdoor fabrics are generally moisture resistant, which also means you can just hose them down.
- Before you buy, make sure you understand how the curtains will be hung and take appropriate measurements.
- Curtains needn't be hung from traditional bars if that doesn't work with the parameters of your space. Tension cables, tree branches or even hooks or nails can be used to hang curtains.
- Not sure if curtains are for you? Do a test run with a broomstick and some fabric that a friend or spouse can hold up.

I love the looks of many of these spaces! I would love to do something like this, but I can not see it working in Iowa where we get strong winds and severe storms often. Just to add to the fun, we sit on top of a hill,so we are very windy at times! I can't even put wind chimes up as they get ruined!

I have long been attracted to these drapery exterior panels ~ actually I think my interior design profession began with the original Great Gatsby movie with Robert Redford ~ the scene of the sheer panels billowing out to the magnificent pool sunk down into my consciousness. These do work in weather - we have some extreme conditions here in Naples, Florida and with the exterior products in hardware and fabrics now it is a lot easier to accomplish this look. www.malibuwestinteriors.com

I have always loved drapes on porches. Years ago I used bed sheets (long before outdoor fabric existed) for special dinner parties on my veranda, which made the parties seem so much more intimate, although this almost caused traffic jams from the rubberneckers driving by. Now I use draperies to hide (but easy to access) pool equipment and to shield my pergola from the view of my neighbors back porch. As far as possible bad weather, I just secure them to the posts and that keeps them safe.

I'm planning on putting curtains on one end of our front porch. Because we do get a lot of wind some days, I think I'll put a rod at the top AND bottom. Hopefully that will solve the billowing curtains problem!

It may be a good idea, depending on how strong the wind is. You can end up with sailboat sail situation and the wind can tear the curtain as well as the rods out of the wall. all the best, and hoping for only gentle breezes!

We absolutely love these great examples of outdoor living spaces! In addition to outdoor curtains and fabrics, homeowners can also include retractable screens that are used only when needed (bug protection, shade from scorching sun) and stay out of sight when not in use. We completed a stunning project in Senoia, Georgia for Southern Living magazine where our motorized retractable screens were selected for a back porch that sports a set of lovely outdoor curtains. You can read more about it on our website: http://www.phantomscreens.com/newsroom/case-studies/residential/southern-living-idea-house-2012/

I just bought "string" curtains and am going to use them outside. You can see right thru them (silver) and the light bounces off of them. Will take a pic when it's complete. $19.99 for 38" wide and 102" long. They are non static and you can cut them to desired length and they won't fray. It's a very dramatic effect.

I used sunbrella fabric for my outdoor curtains and it holds up very well to wind. If you look hard you can find it discounted on various fabric sites in the yardage you need. But, you may need to be flexible as to pattern. I used rods made out of plumbing pipe from Home Depot . I had metal chain cut at Home Depot the width of the panels, and placed the sections of chain in the bottom hem of each panel. This weights the panels. Lastly, I used sections of large hemp rope (from Home Depot of course!) as tie backs to secure the panel to the posts of the porch.

We get strong winds but not that strong! I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I keep my curtains tied back at all times. The Sunbrella fabric is really very strong, both to wind and sun which is more of a problem for us than wind. I would not use regular fabric for outdoor curtains unless I was putting them up for a special occasion such as a wedding.

We have one end of our patio that we hung opaque sheers with small galvanized rods, top and bottom. My husband drilled small holes at each end of the rods and used S hooks to attach to homemade eyehooks hammered into the ground.
Sunbrella fabric is very nice, but WAY too expensive and still take quite a beating in SoCal sun, due to bold colors. Oddly enough, I bought sage green opaque sheers from a discount store ($5.00 each), and scrunched 2 on each 2' rod on 2 sides, and 3 sheers on 2, 3' rods across the back. For $50, those sheers stayed up for 3 years. Then, I just replaced, again! Not a bad investment, as they stay up year round and get hit with sprinklers when the wind blows, which can get quite fierce.
I'm going to get more ambitious and change out the color...sage green for spring, yellow for summer, dark orange for fall, and red for Christmas!

To all worried about the Sail effects of wind on your outdoor curtains...do as sign makers do. Cut fish scale flaps in your curtains. Though you'll want to hem the flaps decoratively or install a grommet type ornamentation, this will keep you from having to batten the hatches every time the wind blows and maintain your privacy during the calm (when you'll likely be out there anyway).

I absolutely love the idea of curtains on the patio. We have high winds also but tying the curtains back with a hook could help that. However, we have an alumawood patio cover and my husband does not want to put hooks or nails in it to hang anything. The one side I really want to hang curtains is 124" wide with concrete wall on one side and the patio cover column on the other. Any ideas of how I could hang curtains without affecting the structure? Thank you so very much.
