The process of responding to accelerated sea level rise in the United States is well underway, at least for a phenomenon that is not expected for several decades. Over the last seven years, almost all of the coastal states have held at least one major conference on the subject, and a few of them have altered coastal development policies to accommodate a future rise. Public officials are generally familiar with the issue, as are representatives of the press, nongovernmental organizations, and coastal investors. The federal government has conducted assessments of possible nationwide responses, as well as implications for specific types of decisions such as the design of coastal drainage systems, maintaining recreational beaches, and protecting coastal wetlands.
This paper examines possible responses to sea level rise in the United States. Because the most important question is what we should actually do in response to rising sea level, we focus primarily on the planning and engineering strategies that will determine how activities on the coast eventually change. Nevertheless, because the process by which society comes to understand the need for action is also important, we close with a brief summary of the evolution of U.S. sea level rise studies in the 1980s.
The most important responses to sea level rise in the United States can be broadly classified as responses to shoreline retreat increased flooding, and saltwater intrusion. In each case, the fundamental question is whether to retreat or hold back the sea.
Shoreline retreat has received by far the greatest attention; nevertheless, because flooding involves the same strategic questions, we combine the discussion. Because there is a general consensus in the United States to "let nature take its course" in national parks and other undeveloped areas, we examine only developed areas. We divide our discussion of this impact into two parts: barrier islands and the open coast, and sheltered areas. We conclude the section by discussing when action is likely to be necessary.
Barrier Islands and the Open Coast
Oceanfront communities could respond to sea level rise protecting developed areas with dikes, pumping sand onto the beach and other low areas, or retreating from the shore. Along mainland beaches, the latter option generally implies no coastal protection; in barrier islands, however, it would also be possible to engineer a landward retreat of the entire island, creating new land on the bayside to offset that lost to oceanside erosion. The four options are illustrated in Figure 2.
To get a rough understanding of the relative costs of these options, we examined Long Beach Island, a long, narrow barrier island developed with single-family homes and one and two-story businesses (See Figure 2). Table 1 illustrates the costs of the four options for a rise in sea level between 30 and 240 cm. For a rise greater than 50 cm, any of the protection options would be less expensive than allowing the sea to reclaim the valuable resort property. Although surrounding the entire island with a dike would be less expensive than raising the island, it would be culturally unacceptable because it would interfere with access to the beach and people would lose views of the bay.
Engineering a retreat would also be much less expensive than raising the island in place, because the latter option would require more (and higher quality) sand. However, this option would be vigorously opposed by the oceanfront owners who would have to move their houses to the bay side, as well as bayfront owners who might lose their access to the water. Moreover, filling new bayside land would disrupt back-bay ecosystems unless the estuary were also allowed to migrate landward onto the mainland (which we discuss below). As Table 2 shows, island raising would cost less than $600 per house per year until after sea level had risen more than 60 cm, which would be less than the rent for one week. Thus, we suspect that the more expensive but less disruptive approach of pumping sand onto beaches and the low bay sides of barrier islands would be the most commonplace, at least in the beginning.
Table 3 compares the ability of the four options to satisfy various desireable criteria. (Most of the rationale for this table is found in Titus 1990). An important lesson from the Long Beach Island study is that the least expensive solutions are not always the most likely; dikes are culturally unacceptable and an engineered retreat is administratively difficult. Nevertheless, the noneconomic criteria should not always outweigh economics.
Leatherman (1989) estimated the quantity of sand necessary to hold back the sea for every coastal state but Alaska, and estimated the cost assuming that sand does not become more expensive. Titus et al. (1990) adjusted those cost estimates on the assumption that as least-cost supplies are exhausted, it will be necessary to go farther out to sea for suitable sand. Table 4 illustrates the resulting estimates of dredging costs for current trends and rises in sea level of 50, 100, and 200 cm. Titus et al. also estimated the cost of elevating buildings and utilities as sea level rises.
These calculations are only rough estimates. leatherman probably underestimated total sand requirements by assuming that beaches would only be designed for a one-year storm; designing them for a 100-year storm would increase the cost by 50-100 percent. Moreover, Titus et al. ignored the cost of elevating multifamily buildings and sea level rise would be factored into routine reconstruction of water and sewer lines at no incremental cost. On the other hand, our calculations assume that all developed areas will be protected. Although this is a reasonable assumption for Long Beach Island and similar areas, it would be less expensive to abandon more lightly developed islands. Moreover, a number of states have already required construction to be set back from the shore a few hundred meters, suggesting that no protection would be required for the first 50 cm of sea level rise.
Sheltered Waters
Americans` affinity for beaches and concern for the environment has created a strong constituency against holding back the sea with dikes and seawalls, counterbalancing the natural tendency of all landowners to protect their property. Along the open coast, both interests can be accommodated, because beach nourishment protects property by maintaining the natural shoreline. Along sheltered waters, however, the prospects for avoiding a conflict are not as great. As Figure 3 shows, the protecting property with dikes and bulkheads, would prevent wetlands from migrating inland and could eventually result in their complete loss in some places.
In a recent EPA report to Congress on the implications of global warming, Park et al. (1989) examined the potential loss of wetlands and dry land for a sample of 46 sites comprising 10 percent of the U.S. coastal zone, for three alternative responses: no protection, protecting areas that are densely developed today with dikes and bulkheads, and protecting all shores. For each site, Weggel et al. (1989) estimated the cost of protecting developed areas from a 2-meter rise. Titus et al. (1990) used cost functions suggested by Weggel et al. and estimates of inundated land from Park et al. to interpolate the cost estimates, and developed confidence intervals for the estimates of lost land.
Table 4 illustrates the nationwide results (the source studies provide regional detail). For a one meter rise, the cost of protecting the most densely developed one thousand square miles of coastal lowlands would work out to $3,000 per acre per year, which would generally warrant protection. However, such protection would increase the loss of wetlands by 300-500 square miles, and reduce the area of shallow water for submerged vegetation by another 500-700 square miles. Moreover, many vacant areas are being rapidly developed. If all areas much be protected, the additional loss of wetlands would be 1800-2700 square miles, and another 3000-7000 square miles of shallow waters would be lost.
The political process will have to decide whether to abandon coastal lowlands to protect the environment. To help the necessary discussions get underway we are circulating a draft that investigates seven options for enabling coastal wetlands to migrate landward (Titus 1989). The first two apply only to undeveloped areas: prohibiting development and purchasing coastal lowlands. The next three involve doing nothing today and purchasing land and structures when inundation is imminent; forcing people to move out when inundation is imminent; or hoping that protection will prove to be uneconomic. The final two options, which we call "presumed mobility", allow people to use their property as they choose, but on the condition that they will eventually abandon it if and when sea level rise threatens it with inundation; presumed mobility could be implemented wither by prohibiting construction of bulkheads and dikes, or by converting property ownership to long-term or conditional leases that expire when sea level rises a particular amount.
Table 5 summarizes our assessment of each option to satisfy various desireable criteria, including low social cost, low cost to taxpayers, performance under uncertainty, equity, constitutionality, political feasibility and the risk of backsliding. Unlike the table for barrier islands, we omit environmental criteria because these options are each designed to achieve roughly the same level of environmental protection.
Our overall assessment is that presumed mobility would be the best general approach. A general prohibition of development would probably violate the takings clause of the Bill of Rights; buying 20,000 km2 of land would be expensive, and in any event, these options only apply to areas that have not yet been developed. Doing nothing today seems unlikely to protect wetlands because (a) purchasing property in the future would be even more expensive if it is developed; (b) forcing people to move out of their homes would be politically impossible if they are willing to tax themselves to pay for the necessary protection; and (c) economics alone is unlikely to motivate people to abandon developed areas.
One of the most overlooked but important criteria is performance under uncertainty. No one knows how much sea level will rise in the future; only rough estimates are available. Thus policies likely to succeed for a rise anywhere between 0 and 3 m should be preferred over those that might be superior for a particular scenario but fail should other scenarios unfold. For this criteria, the approach of presumed mobility is clearly superior: ecosystems will be protected no matter how much sea level rises; real estate markets will be able to efficiently incorporate new information on sea level trends; and if the sea does not rise significantly, the policy costs nothing. By contrast, buying coastal lowlands or prohibiting development requires policy makers to draw a (disputable) line on a map above which the policy does not apply. If sea level rise more than assumed, ecosystems will eventually be lost; if it rises less, society will have unnecessarily forfeited the use of valuable coastal land.
When Will A Response Be Necessary?
A recent study by the National Research Council (Dean et al. 1987) concluded that because dikes can be erected in a relatively short period of time, no action is necessary today. This argument also applies for beach nourishment on the open coast. However, our analysis of wetland-protection options suggests that these measures are likely to be effective only if they are implemented several decades in advance: people would need several decades to depreciate structures and become accustomed to the idea that property must be abandoned to the sea to protect the environment.
A number of planning mechanisms are in place along the ocean coast to foster a retreat. North Carolina and a number of other states require houses to be set a few hundred meters back from the beach, and prohibit hard engineering structures along the beach. South Carolina prohibits reconstruction of storm-damaged property if they are too close to the shore.
Along wetland shores, however, only Maine has implemented planning measures to allow ecosystems to migrate inland. That state has explicitly incorporated presumed mobility into its development regulations, which state that structures are presumed to be moveable; in the case of apartments that are clearly not moveable, the regulations state that if the buildings would block the landward migration of wetlands and dunes resulting from a one meter rise in sea level, the developer must supply the state with a demolition plan. Although other states require construction to be set back somewhat from the wetlands, the setbacks are small compared with the inland migration of wetlands that would accompany a one meter rise in sea level.
FUTURE RESPONSES: Mississippi Delta
Louisiana is currently losing over 100 square kilometers of land per year because human activities are thwarting the processes that once enabled the Mississippi Delta to expand into the Gulf of Mexico. For thousands of years, the annual river flooding would deposit enough sediment to enable the delta to more than keep pace with sea level rise and its own tendency to subside. In the last century, however, the federal government has built dikes along the river and sealed off "distributaries", to prevent flooding and maintain a sufficiently rapid river flow to prevent sedimentation in the shipping lanes. As a result, sediment and nutrients from the river no longer reaches most of the wetlands, and they are being rapidly submerged. Moreover, with flows in distributaries cut off, saltwater is penetrating inland, converting cypress swamps to open water lakes and otherwise disrupting wetlands. If sea level rise accelerates, the already-rapid disintegration of coastal Louisiana would follow suit.
As with other coastal areas, dikes and abandonment are both possible. However, there is a general consensus that these options should be avoided if possible because in either event, most of the deltas wetlands would be lost, and those wetlands support 50 percent of the nation's shellfish and 25 percent of its fish catch. Thus, federal and state officials are focussing primarily on options to restore natural processes which would enable at least a large fraction of the delta to survive even an accelerated rise in sea level. The U.S. Congress has authorized a number of projects to divert freshwater and sediment to wetlands by effectively cutting holes in the dikes. Under current policies, however, only a small fraction of the river water is likely to be diverted by such projects, to avoid siltation of shipping lanes.
In the long run, protecting Louisiana's wetlands would require people to allow the vast majority of the river's discharge to reach the wetlands. This would be possible if navigation was separated from the streamflow of the river. One way to do this would be to construct a series of canals with locks between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico, and completely restore the natural flow of water to the delta below the canal. Unfortunately, requiring ships to pass through locks would hurt the economic viability of the Port of New Orleans. Another option would be to build a new deep-water port 10-20 miles to the east.
Perhaps the far-reaching response, one that has been advocated by the State's Secretary for Environmental Protection, would be to allow the river to change course and flow down the Atchafalaya River. Without a $1 billion river control structure, the river would already have done so. Although from the purely environmental perspective, this option is most appealing, it would further accelerate the loss of wetlands in the eastern part of the state, and enable saltwater to back up to New Orleans, requiring the city to find a new water supply.
It is somewhat ironic that human activities designed to prevent flooding may leave the entire area permanently below sea level in the long run. There may be a lesson for Bangladesh and other nations who are considering flood-protection dikes to protect land from surges in river levels: build dikes around a few cities, but make sure the river is still able to flood enough areas for the flow of water to slow sufficiently to deposit sediment onto farmland and wetlands, rather than being washed out to sea, where it will benefit no one.
Responses to saltwater intrusion, like shoreline retreat and flooding, can either involve holding back the sea or adapting to a landward encroachment.
Preventing Salinity Increases
Figures 4 and 5 illustrate why sea level rise increases the salinity of estuaries and aquifers, respectively. In the former case, a rise in sea level increases the cross-sectional area of the estuary, slowing the average flow of water to the sea, the major process that keeps the estuary from having the same salinity as the ocean. Assuming that the tides continue to carry the same amount of water and that mixing stays constant, salinity will increase because the force of freshwater is reduced while the saltwater force is increased. Moreover, if the bay becomes wider, the tidal exchange of water will increase, further increasing the freshwater force. (Because it is difficult to graphically represent the previous explanation, figure 4 expresses it in a different fashion, by comparing the amount of freshwater entering the estuary with the amount of seawater from the tides.)
Salinity increases can be prevented either by impeding the ability of saltwater to migrate upstream or by increasing the amount of freshwater entering the estuary. During the drought of 1988, the New Orleans District of the Corps of Engineers designed a barrier across the bottom of the Mississippi River which blocked saltwater on the bottom while allowing the ships and freshwater to pass on the top. In many cases where human withdrawals of freshwater have increased estuarine salinity enough to have adverse environmental consequences, water resource agencies have constructed projects to divert freshwater into estuaries. Elsewhere in Louisiana, the Corps has designed projects to divert water from the Mississippi River to wetlands that are suffering adverse effects of saltwater intrusion; and Everglades National Park has long has a similar arrangement with the Corps of Engineers and the South FLorida Water Management District.
The Delaware River Basin Commission releases water from its system of reservoirs whenever salinity reaches undesirable levels, to protect Philadelphia's freshwater intake and aquifers in New Jersey that are recharged by the (usually) fresh part of the river. Hull and Tortoriello (1979) estimated that a 13 cm rise in sea level would require an increase in reservoir capacity of 57 million cubic meters (46,000 acre feet), while Hull and Titus (1986) suggested that a 30 cm rise would require about 140 million cubic meters, about one fourth the capacity that would be provided by the proposed Tocks Island reservoir, and noted that the DRBC has identified reservoir sites sufficient to offset salinity increases from sea level rise and economic growth well into the 21st century. Williams (1989) conducted a similar analysis of the impacts and responses to sea level rise in the Sacramento Delta in California.
Although dams can be useful, one must understand their limitations. Most importantly, there is a finite amount of water flowing in the typical river; dams can increase the freshwater flow during the dry season because they reduce the flow during the wet season. Because droughts are generally the only time when high salinity is a concern, the impact on salinity during the wet season is generally not a problem. Dams also reduce flooding, which (as we discussed above) can be viewed as a benefit by people who might otherwise lose property (or drown) in a flood; but it is a liability to the extent that flood prevention keeps sediment from reaching wetlands and enabling them from keeping pace with sea level. A final problem is that if climate change makes droughts more severe in the future, if may be difficult to find sufficient reservoir capacity to offset the resulting reductions in river flow, let alone increasing river flow enough to offset sea level rise. Salinity increases in aquifers can also be prevented either by increasing the force of freshwater or decreasing the force of saltwater. The most notable application of the former approach is in southern Florida, where water managers maintain a series of freshwater canals whose primary purpose is to recharge the Biscayne aquifer with fresh water. Various types of barriers have also been identified for blocking saltwater intruding into the estuary (Sorensen et al. 1984).
Decreasing depletive uses of water can help to offset salinity increases. For example, during droughts the Delaware River Basin Commission has the power to curtail diversions of water to New York City. Reducing water consumption within the basin is a critical component of water management strategies in this and many other regions.
Adapting to Salinity Increases
If measures are not undertaken to prevent salinity increases, people will have to adapt to it. Some cities could respond by moving their intakes upstream. Note that this appears to be the only response to increased salinity that would work with sea level rise but (at least in many cases) not with decreased river flow: In the case of sea level rise, moving the uptake upstream the same distance as salinity advanced would leave the public (and if ecosystems were able to migrate upstream and inland, the environment) in roughly the same condition as before sea level rose. By contrast, if less freshwater is flowing into an estuary, there may no longer be enough freshwater to supply the previous level of consumption.
Another response is to shift to alternative supplies. For example, if flows in the Mississippi River decline, or if wetland loss motivates a policy makers to allow the river to change course, New Orleans would have to abandon the river as a supply of freshwater. Many argue that the river is polluted enough to view such a situation as a "blessing in disguise," and have suggested that the groundwater under Lake Ponchartraine would be a suitable source (Louisiana Wetland Protection Panel 1987). Nevertheless, alternative supplies are finite, and may become increasingly scarce as the economy grows, especially in areas where the greenhouse effect fails to increase precipitation enough to offset the increased evaporation that warmer temperatures invariably imply.
Water conservation is likely to play an increasingly important role in efforts to adapt to reduced availability of freshwater. Many jurisdictions already place restrictions on depletive uses such as watering lawns and washing cars. Officials in New Jersey are planning to ration the water that farmers withdraw from the Potomac-Raritan-Magothy aquifer, which is recharged by the Delaware River. Nevertheless, regulations of water use are difficult to enforce and generally apply only to a limited number of visible activities.
In our view, the best long-term response would be to treat water like any other scarce commodity: charge water a market- clearing price rather than a price based on cost. There is an emerging trend in this direction among large water users in the western United States, but the principle is likely to face severe cultural and institutional barriers. First, Americans generally believe that water should be as free as the air we breathe. Secondly, public utilities are generally not allowed to make a profit. Nevertheless, with increasing government deficits and a gradual acceptance of the scarcity of water, the public would probably learn to accept water markets.
The Need for Near Term Action
As with dikes to prevent inundation, there is no need to build dams or canals to counteract future saltwater intrusion. Nevertheless, setting aside sufficient land for future dam sites is similar to allowing wetlands to migrate landward: It will be less expensive to prevent people from developing the land today than to buy people out later. Accordingly, to the extent that regions will rely on dams in the future, it would be best to identify those sites today and implement policies that will keep options open for future reservoir construction.
The matter of reserving land for dams or wetlands illustrates a principal that may apply to other commodities: even when a particular action will not be necessary for a few decades, it is best to establish the "rules of the game" in advance so that people can gradually take whatever measures are necessary based on how they perceive the probability and eventuality of the particular situation that is anticipated. If we want to use water efficiently, its price will eventually have to rise. Political realities prevent a substantial rise today, but if the government put everyone on notice that it would charge a fair-market price beginning in the year 2030, the public would probably accept such a policy. It is easier to agree on what is fair when no one is immediately threatened, and honorable people do not object to fulfilling the conditions of treaties, contracts, and other arrangements made by a previous generation.

Colts vs Texans '08 was outdone by Colt vs Bucs '03...
if we remember that incredible Monday Night Football game from 2003, the defending Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers blew a 21 point lead to the very same Peyton Manning with about 4 minutes left in the game!
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=231006027 We have a young team on the rise and well, it was just one player's mistake that cost us the game. The champion Bucs basically as a team just totally free-fell all over the place. That's the difference I believe. So though it hurts nonetheless, hopefully recalling this MNF game puts this in some perspective. |

That was the game that Keyshawn was talking $hit about Harrision in the 2nd quarter.
I believe the quote went something like, "So thats how he gits his catches". Marvin wasn't doing anything. Next thing you know the Colts exploded and Harrison ends up with a mad stat line. Keyshawn's an *****.

The politics of Maurice Glasman are a little difficult to pin down and intentionally so. The concept of "Blue Labour", which should be understood as the complement to the "Red Tory" philosophy of Phillip Blond, is a provocation to the conventional Labour Party thinking.
Maurice Glasman is a happy man. Here he is, the boy who used to live over a London shop, ordering tea on the terrace of the House of Lords, smoking his roll-ups and revelling in the fact that the waitress knows who he is and has shown him to his regular spot by the low wall overlooking the Thames.
Liverpool Wavertree MP Luciana Berger has said she will fight boundary changes which could see her lose her parliamentary seat.
I hear that at a recent meeting with Jewish leaders, Ed Miliband ran into a problem that may destroy his ambitions to become Prime Minister.
Everyone was getting along famously until the Livingstone question came up.
A Jewish councillor has quit Hackney's ruling Labour party and joined the previously all-Charedi Conservative opposition.
Linda Kelly, a former speaker of the north London council, was elected in 2002. She fell out with Labour after protesting at its planned budget cuts.
Liverpool Wavertree Labour MP Luciana Berger took a particular interest in the eco credentials of Jewish Care's Golders Green campus when she toured the premises.
The shadow minister for energy and climate change was escorted by Jewish care chief executive Simon Morris and the charity's property director, Jeff Andrews.
I had the pleasure of meeting David Cairns shortly before his tragic death. We had been brought together to discuss what we both believed was an over-defensive attitude to Israel among its supporters on the left. David was a brilliant advocate for Israel and determined to provide a space for debate for those within the Labour Party, grown weary of the constant attacks.
David Cairns MP, parliamentary chairman of the Labour Friends of Israel group, has died following a short illness. Mr Cairns, who was 44, was taken ill in March with pancreatitis. He died on Monday night.
The Inverclyde MP was in his second spell as chairman of the group. He previously held the role in 2004 before returning in October last year.
I want to begin by saying what this speech is not.
It's not an attempt to deflect attention from the pressing urgency of achieving an agreement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
It's not an argument which posits that Israel is always right and should be allowed to act with impunity.

The 1st in my partially hand drawn series,
Thanks for fp this :D
Before you decide you hate this series, watch at least one more (4-7 recommended) and if you still hate it okay, The reason I say this, is beacue a lot of people that have seen the entire series, didn't like this one 1/2 as much as 4, 6, or 7
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Very Enjoyable
I thought that this was really really good, nice job
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
not bad
it was an alright animation. some of the graphics were pretty cool, but the audio was VERY annoying... you should change it, particularly that noise in the beginning.. soundes like an internet connection or whatever, but it was pretty annoying. other than that, it was alright.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Sound and drawings very good. Are you realy ripping off david firth? Of course not. But i think it's not bad to rip off david firth.

Best faucet ever for the price! The plumber who installed the faucet said it was the best made faucet that he had seen recently and wanted to know where I bought it after he found out the price. Of course it was the O! This faucet has been awesome, the sprayer pulls out easily and returns the same. The top part, the curved neck portion, swivels so you can move it without pulling out the sprayer, this works great for a divided sink. I had a similar style faucet that was brushed nickel from another manufacturer and it was well over $300. The Kraus has more features, is aesthetically pleasing and was 1/3 of the price.

Gorgeous! This is a gorgeous well made faucet., It looks high end and feels solid. I returned it because it was just too tall and and "too much faucet" for my small condo kitchen. I should have read the description a little bit better- this faucet will become the centerpiece of your kitchen. This would look fantastic in a large, contemporary kitchen. I cannot say anything about how it works since I didn't install it.

Kraus faucet spray function doesn't work After three months of operation, the spray function quit working--I push the button and nothing happens, but next time I turn on the water, it may or may not come out as a spray. (That can be kind of exciting in a bad way) I contacted customer service and haven't received a reply. I'll update this when I do.

Kraus faucet We were so pleasantly surprised when we opened the box. The faucet is gorgeous, and packaged beautifully! It was easy to install, the directions were clear and useful. The faucet is a little taller than we had planned on getting but after using it, it is perfect. The handle is easy to use and we love the button that changes it from stream to spray. It does not revert back to a default setting each time it is turned on, it stays at the position you last used it. A very nice feature! The pull down sprayer is easy to maneuver and very very flexible. The only negative thing I can say is that with it being chrome it does show the water spots and we have to dry it off regularly. Other than that I LOVE it and would purchase it again in a heart beat. A side note: this faucet has way more pressure than our last one, don't know if that is the faucet or if our old one had some kind of water saver built in.

Positive Review My Kraus faucet is excellent value for the money. I bought it for my new kitchen remodel. It's a focal point without intention as it's chrome gleams from the lights overhead. Its height and mass doesn't get lost on my 66'x47" peninsula--a perfect fit! The faucet is easy to handle in that the handle is easy to maneuver; isn't too small which is probably great for aging muscles. That sprayer has a lot of power. It's best to read the installation instructions as my contractor had to try 3x before he got it right but it didn't take him long. It appared to be easy to install since it only took him a few minutes to connect it. I don't know why but the water seems hotter than with my old faucet. What a breeze to fit a bucket un my Kraus..

The part that wouldn't stay. Overall I like this faucet, I chose it because of the good reviews given by other users here at Overstock. The one thing I don't like is the little rubber part on the pullout that changes the water flow from spray to stream does NOT stay on. It has four little extensions that are supposed to fit into the slots, They fit, but they don't stay in, after a few seconds you can see the part slowly start to come out.Twice I have found the part in the sink, and once it almost fell in the garbage disposer. I can't return it because the contactor tossed out the box with the paper work. AARRRGH. Wish the little extentions SNAPPED into place. I'll most likely use if for a while the replace it, there goes good money down the drain. Every pun intended.

Biggest = Mistake After reading reviews we ordered this faucet. The price was right and we liked the look. Turns out ot be the Biggest mistake. The faucet leaks at the joint in the handle. We just redid our kitchen and it has gotten water everywhere and has already caused damage to our newly painted cabinets, etc. Overstock sent us a replacement - hassle-free - which we had to again have someone come in and install. Well, as of this morning the new one is leaking too. For the amount of money it is costing us to have to keep having a new one installed, I could have had a *** faucet. So disappointed and frustrated with this product I could cry.

Awesome focal point! This faucet is amazing! It feels very sturdy & well built. The handle glides smoothly & feels solid (which is a huge thing for me after testing many). The pull-put sprayer gets drawn back in very easily & is a perfect fit for the new larger stainless steel sink we purchased with this faucet. It is very tall & makes a beautiful focal point in the kitchen, which is what we were going for. I think my favorite feature is the spray button option: you only need to press it & it will stay in spray mode (even after it's been turned off & on again) if that's your preference. Press again, & it will go back to the normal stream, no hassling with keeping the button pressed down while in use. My father in law has been doing custom kitchens for over 30 years now & helped my husband install this last night. He was commenting on what a nice faucet it was & when I told him what I paid he couldn't believe it. I think I may have just gotten Overstock another customer!

Unique Faucet Designs
Sometimes it seems like faucets don't vary much. Ninety-five percent of the kitchen and bath faucets you see are basic sink-mounted, single-spout designs with one lever or two knobs. These vary in terms of finish and embellishment, but, essentially, these designs are all variations on a single theme. These kinds of faucets make great complements to a wide range of kitchen and bath decor. However, sometimes, you may want a faucet that's unique, that departs from the norm and becomes a centerpiece for or makes a specific statement about your kitchen or bath. Maybe you want a faucet that performs a specific function that the usual faucets do not. If you're looking for that kind of faucet, keep reading. We've compiled a list of four unique faucet designs, one of which may be just what you're looking for.

Advantages of Owning a Pot Filler Faucet
A common fixture in restaurant kitchens, pot fillers are becoming more and more common in home kitchens because they are so practical and attractive.

How to Hook Up a Portable Dishwasher
Cozy kitchens can have all the conveniences of large kitchens. Just because your kitchen is small doesn't mean you can't enjoy large appliances, like dishwashers. Portable dishwashers are a convenience for small kitchens. When there isn't enough cabinet space to begin with, it's hard to justify installing a dishwasher and losing even more storage areas. Portable dishwashers are convenient and simple to hook up, and they even create an additional work surface for your kitchen. Since they roll on casters, portable dishwashers can easily be stored out of the way until they are ready to be used.

Home Alone 3 is a 1997 American family comedy film written and produced by John Hughes. It is the third film in the Home Alone series and the first not to feature actor Macaulay Culkin, director Chris Columbus, and composer John Williams. The film is directed by Raja Gosnell (in his directorial debut), who served as the editor of both original films and stars Alex D. Linz as Alex Pruitt, a resourceful boy who is left home alone and has to defend his home from a band of criminals. The film was followed by a made-for-television sequel, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, in 2002.
Peter Beaupre, Alice Ribbons, Burton Jernigan, and Earl Unger, four internationally wanted criminals working for a North Korean terrorist group, have stolen a US$10 million missile cloaking computer chip. The thieves put it inside a toy remote control car to sneak it past security at San Francisco International Airport. However, a luggage mix-up occurs, causing a woman named Mrs. Hess to inadvertently take the thieves' bag containing the remote control car while returning home to Chicago. The four thieves arrive in Chicago and systematically search every house in Hess's suburban neighborhood to find the chip.
Meanwhile, Alex Pruitt is given the remote control car by Hess for shovelling snow, but she scolds him for scratching numerous itches. He returns home and removes his shirt to discover that he has chickenpox, and therefore must stay out of school. While at home, Alex uses his telescope and discovers the thieves on look out for the chip. The police arrive to find the thieves, but are unable to locate them. Alex later attempts to catch the thieves on camera, but Beaupre steals the tape. Wondering what the thieves want with a remote control car, Alex opens it and discovers the stolen chip. He informs the local Air Force Recruitment Center about the chip while asking if they can forward the information about the chip to someone.
The thieves conclude that Alex has been watching them and decide to pursue him. As a snowstorm hits Chicago, the thieves block off the road to the house, and Alice duct tapes Hess to a chair in her garage and leaves the door open. By this point, Alex has armed his house with booby traps and prepares to set them off with his pet rat, Doris, and the loud-mouthed pet parrot of his brother, Stan. After several break-in attempts, the thieves manage to make it into the house, despite falling into Alex's traps. They begin to search the house to find Alex. Alex runs to the attic and goes into the dumbwaiter down to the basement, and runs outside and calls to Alice, Jernigan and Unger. The thieves see Alex and notice a trampoline below them. Jernigan and Unger jump to pursue Alex, but the trampoline gives way and they fall into a frozen pool. Alice wriggles her way into the dumbwaiter chute, but falls down to the basement because Alex removed the bottom.
Alex rescues Hess and is cornered by Beaupre, but manages to scare him off with a fake gun. Meanwhile, the Federal Bureau of Investigation goes to Alex's siblings' school after being tipped off by the recruitment center. Alex's family brings the agents to their house, where the police arrest Alice, Jernigan, and Unger. However, Beaupre flees to the snow fort in the backyard. The parrot drives the remote control car into the snow fort and threatens to light fireworks, which are lined around the inside. Beaupre offers a cracker, but the parrot demands two. Since he only has one, the parrot then lights the fireworks, and flees. Beaupre is arrested.
In the epilogue, Alex and his family celebrate with his father returning home as it is being repaired. Hess, who befriends Alex after he successfully rescues her, is there along with the FBI and the police while Alex's house is being repaired. In the final scene of the film while the thieves are having their mugshot photos taken, they seem to have caught Alex's chickenpox.

Home Alone 3 was pitched at the same time as Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, and it was planned to produce both movies simultaneously; however, those plans fell through.
The idea for a third Home Alone movie was revived in the mid-1990s; early drafts called for Macaulay Culkin to return as a teenaged version of Kevin McCallister. By 1994, however, Culkin had dropped out of acting. As a result, the idea was reworked as an entirely new film centering on a new cast of characters. It was filmed in New York City, with the airport scenes in the beginning of the film being shot in two different concourses at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.

A great speech is not only a news event; it is part of history. As history is written it should also be seen. We should have some way of preserving for those who come after us the words, the faces, the expressions and the emotions of the members of this house.
Max Saltsman, M.P. (Waterloo South)
(Debates, June 5, 1967, p. 1158)
The House produces many documents for the use of its Members, their staff and the general public. These documents enable all interested parties to follow parliamentary business; they also provide a permanent record of debate, decisions taken and other business coming before the House and its committees. The House also ensures the broadcasting of the proceedings of the House and its committees.

emember yesterday, when we announced From the Vault: Exiled? Well, it occurred to us that you might not know all 126 cards that have ever been banned right off the top of your head. And we're very ashamed of you.
Sorry about that. Normally, we try not to judge you. Not to your face, anyway. The point is: this is the complete list of cards that have been banned in any format, not counting cards that have only been banned in Magic Online-specific formats. And this doesn't incorporate any cards that might be banned when we announce the March 20 Banned and Restricted List update tomorrow. Oh, and there's one more thing: the cards in italics are the ones that are on the Reserved List, which means they're not in From the Vault: Exiled.
Whew. Okay, did you catch all that? Good. Now let's go!

Okay, and what do you suppose will happen to this offense when their jumpers aren't falling? Teams will easily pack the paint. Bosh is essential to space the floor, and let's not underrate his defense. He's been a solid defender since he got here. He just hit rough stretch. It happens to a ton of players......

Nov 24, 2012 Comments Off on Dean Chambers Creats 2012 Election Voter Fraud Map, Website, Says Obama Didn't Win Chuck Biscuits
Excerpted from The Blaze: Those arguing that President Obama's victory in the election a few weeks back was due to fraud may have found a dubious ally in their quest to argue that Mitt Romney's rightful victory was stolen from under his nose.
That ally is the much-mocked Dean Chambers, creator of the now arguably discredited website UnskewedPolls.com. Chambers, fresh off his last venture into arguing with numbers, has created the site barackofraudo.com, where he has posted this map, which he claims represents states that President Obama won by voter fraud:
Dave Weigel of Slate reports:
Anyway, the polls were right. Chambers has moved on, launching BarackOFraudo.com, "exposing how they stole the 2012 election." It leads off with a map of the 2012 election that blacks out Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and Virginia. They are "states won by Obama fraud." What's Chambers going on for that?
"I'm getting credible information of evidence in those states that there enough numbers that are questionable and could have swung the election," he says. "I'm only putting good credible information on there, like the actual vote counts, reports, and mainstream publications reporting voter fraud. There's a lot of chatter, though. There are articles people have sent me that don't hold up. Crazy stuff."
What's not crazy? "Things like the 59 voting divisions of Philadelphia where Romney received zero votes," says Chambers. "Even Larry Sabato said that should be looked into."

The Revised First Volume of Ahoy & Farewell The first volume of Ahoy & Farewell, no longer in print, was originally written in 1969 and published in 1970 to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of The Marine Historical Society of Detroit, Inc. It chronicled vessels that entered service on the Lakes (Ahoy) or that had left the Lakes (Farewell) during the 15-year period starting with the 1954 season. This revised edition has been expanded to include updated information for ships in the first book plus the contents of two supplements that listed ships which left the Lakes during the period 1944 through 1954 and ships new to the Lakes from 1944 through 1955. These supplements were made available to the membership in 1954 for our tenth anniversary and in 1955 for our eleventh anniversary respectively. These three publications together spanned a very active and significant 25-year period. Because of the interest in this era it was decided to rewrite the first "Ahoy & Farewell" with the above mentioned additions; an endeavor that took nearly 6 years to produce. With few exceptions, more than 700 vessels of 1000 gross registered tons or more that comprised the US and Canadian Great Lakes fleet are included in this book, keeping in tune with Ahoy & Farewell II (over 440 vessels). This revised and rewritten hardbound book is 235 pages long compared to 120 pages of the original Ahoy & Farewell book and includes over 90 high quality, and in many cases, very rare photographs. No expense was spared on the heavy duty binding, high quality paper, the colorful dust jacket, or the unique hardbound cover, which includes the dust jacket color photo. A new greatly expanded "Ahoy & Farewell II" is now available. Volume two presents a much more expanded and detailed account of over 440 Great Lakes ships that were either Ahoyed or Farewelled over the last twenty-five years ending in 1994. Over 60 high quality pictures and an extensive cross-index are additional features. Soft or hard cover. |
The Society's monthly publication, The Detroit Marine Historian , explores the various shipping activities of the entire Great Lakes. The fleets, past and present, new vessels and the scrapping of many ships are covered periodically. Also "The Log" features current events in the shipping industry. Past "Historians" dating back to 1947 (beginning with volume 1) are available to members at a modest cost. |

Rilo Kiley I Never Lyrics
Last updated: 09/19/2006 11:00:00 AM
I'm only a woman
Of flesh and bone
And I wept much
We all do
I thought I might die alone
But I had never(x11) met you
So baby be good to me
I've got nothing to give you, you see
except everything, everything, everything, everything
All the good
And the bad
Cause I've been bad
I've lied, cheated, stolen, and been ungrateful for what I had
And I'm afraid habits rule my waking life
I'm scared
And I'm running in my sleep
For you
But all of the oceans and rivers and showers will wash it all away
And make me clean
For you
Cause I had never(x15) met you
So let's take a loan out
Put it down on a house
In a place we've never lived
in a place that exists
In the pages of scripts and
the songs that they sing
And all the beautiful things
That make you weep but
Don't have to make you weak
Cause I never(x27) loved somebody
The way I loved you.
