Last week the House passed with bipartisan support the Protect Life Act, which amends the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) to assure that no taxpayer dollars will be used to fund abortions. It also assures that health care providers who do not wish to provide abortions are not forced to by government.
The bill's Republican sponsor, Joe Pitts, R-Penn., had co-sponsored essentially the same amendment along with then-congressman Bart Stupak, D-Mich., when Obamacare was in the making in 2009.
Because a similar provision was not in the Senate version of the bill, and had no prospect of making it through the Senate, Stupak stood as a major obstacle to the passage of Obamacare.
In the end, the ways of Washington prevailed, and Stupak caved to pressure from the White House. He agreed to support the health care bill without his anti-abortion provision, in exchange for President Barack Obama issuing an executive order prohibiting the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions in health care provided in the framework of Obamacare.
An executive order is a flimsy substitute for law so Pitts found another pro-life Democrat, Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., to co-sponsor his amendment, which has now passed the House 251-172.
However Pitts' new bill faces the same prospects as the amendment that he co-sponsored with Stupak in 2009. Its chances of passage in the Senate are remote.
So why bother?
After the bill passed, I was asked on a PBS talk show "To the Contrary" if Republicans were being frivolous in taking up congressional floor time to deal with abortion when what Americans want today is congressional action on the economy.
My response was "no, we can walk and chew gum at the same time, and actually in light of Obamacare, it is critical for lawmakers to protect healthcare workers and hospitals with a conscience clause."
In fact, the attention that the bill has gotten in the short time since it passed the House indicates that the level of interest in abortion, and the potential use of taxpayer funds for it, remains high.
Two high level Democrats -- former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California and Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman -- issued statements criticizing the bill shortly after it passed.
According to Pelosi, the provision assuring that health care providers, including hospitals, are not forced to provide abortions, even though they receive Medicare and Medicaid funding, means "that women can die on the floor and health care providers do not have to intervene."
Wasserman Schultz said, "This extreme legislation is dangerous for women's health and does nothing to address the jobs crisis facing American families."
Liberals love to frame the killing of developing humans as being about women's lives, health and rights. But, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 3 percent of abortions are performed for reasons of a woman's health. Abortions that are performed because a woman's life is in danger amount to a fraction of 1 percent. That leaves more than 96 percent for convenience with some 50 percent repeat customers.
Regarding abortion, the liberal agenda is really about two things. One, an alleged right to sexual promiscuity and two, an alleged right to have others bear social and financial responsibility for that promiscuity.
Fortunately, a sizable part of the American population doesn't see things this way. And, fortunately, a sizable part of our population remains in awe of the miracle of life and our responsibilities toward all aspects of life, both in and outside the womb.
It doesn't take that much thought to realize the fallacious thinking that suggests that matters of economy and matters of morality have nothing to do with each other.
The "right to abortion" culture is simply a subset of the entitlement culture, the culture that says your life is about making claims on others rather than personal responsibility.
Disrespect for life and disrespect for property go hand in hand. We can't divorce our sexual promiscuity from our fiscal promiscuity. Restoring personal responsibility in both areas is what we need today to get our nation back on track.
Hate, destructiveness and envy do not make this world a better place. Work, creativity and personal responsibility do. (comments)
It sounds so compassionate that a politician proposes to use the power of government to mandate what salary a business owner must pay. (comments)
The issue of black poverty, and black children in poverty, has not suffered from lack of attention. (comments)
Secularists relate to government, not as a protector, but as a tool of aggression to force others to accept and live with values they reject. (comments)
A leader in a diverse country is to keep things going in generally the right direction -- compromise is always part of the game. (comments)
The idea of the Olympics as a platform for promoting peace and goodwill among nations is particularly weak today. (comments)

This is one of several pictures by Mercier of small musical assemblies. In the centre a young woman dressed in white plays a small harpsichord. A man, seated, playing a violoncello, a standing youth with a violin, and two other males, presumably singers, provide accompaniment. In the lower right foreground a seated male dressed in red raises his left arm, an indication perhaps that he is the director of the consort. Behind him, seated, are two ladies and a courting couple. The classical setting, with fluted pilasters, and a rounded arch, is one that Mercier uses in other musical assemblies and is drawn principally from the artist's imagination rather than any specific location.
Mercier came to London from France in 1716, working initially as a picture dealer as well as a painter. During the 1720s he used his intimate knowledge of the fêtes galantes of Antoine Watteau (1684-1721) and his familiarity with Dutch seventeenth-century domestic portraiture to introduce a new type of small-scale domestic group portrait into England, which became known as the 'conversation piece'. In these pictures families were viewed quite literally conversing, or partaking in some form of communal leisure activity such as playing cards, drawing or making music.
From the late 1720s until the mid-1730s Mercier enjoyed the patronage of Frederick Prince of Wales (1707-51), for whom he painted several musical conversations. Prince Frederick was, himself, a keen amateur musician. Following his sudden dismissal by the Prince in 1736 Mercier left London for Northampton and then York, where he worked from 1739. At this time Mercier set about introducing another new genre to England, which the engraver George Vertue (1684-1756) described in his diary as 'pieces of some figures of conversation as big as the life conceited plaisant Fancies & habits. Mixt modes really well done - and much approved off' (quoted in Einberg and Egerton 1988, p.176). These character studies of individuals and small groups, painted from models rather than identifiable portrait sitters, are known collectively as 'fancy pictures', of which the present is a typical example. A curious feature present in a number of Mercier's fancy pictures, including the present work, is the presence of a reverse signature 'Reicrem', which, has been explained as a signal of the artist's intention to make a new start following his rejection by the Royal court.

The WWE roster is stacked full of talent who no doubt feel within touching distance of hitting the big time, if only the top brass would put gold around their wastes.
If Daniel Bryan's emergence at the end of last year and up until WrestleMania proved anything, it's that sometimes the potential rewards for crowning new champions can be immense.
Here are five superstars who are poised for a title run at present, and deserving of a push in singles competition.
*Note, the Tag Team Championship is excluded because of Daniel Bryan and Kane's recent triumph, and their sheer awesomeness.

The Context:
Matthew 12: 38-41
The Sign of Jonah
38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from you."
39 He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now something greater than Jonah is here.

You'll enjoy the setup. Our roads here in San Diego are terrible and could be a major contributing factor in the accelerated wear. I'd reccomend replacing the upper strut mounts and adding the strut mount reinforcement plates while you're at it. Cheap effective insurance.
BTW, the sportlines give an uneven rake. I had to pull both top and bottom rear spring pads. A little noise once in a while but the stance is much better than with both pads installed.
Ahaha I know what you mean. Hard to believe these things are going for 6k now, they still feel like they're worth in the 20s!
I was planning on replacing the rear shock mounts and reusing the fronts (I've heard the rears tend to wear).
I did come across a thread yesterday saying its a good idea to pull the spring pads on the rear to reduce the rake. I think I'll remove the bottom pads first, see how I like it and then take the top ones out if I need more low!!
What size spacers do you guys think I could run with my ZHP wheels and the drop?

I Am Empowered - I am the National Urban League
National Urban League President Morial Meets with President Obama on Deficit Plan
Teresa Candori
WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 16, 2012) -- National Urban League President Marc H. Morial meets this morning with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden to discuss deficit reduction and strengthening the economy.
Morial is one of several representatives from civic organizations, including the NAACP, the National Council of La Raza and National Action Network.
Morial sent a letter to President Obama the day after his re-election urging a sensible and responsible approach to deficit reduction, with a goal of one dollar in revenue enhancement for every dollar in spending cuts.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 10:15 a.m. Morial will met with reporters at the stakeout following the meeting and is available for interviews afterward. Contact Teresa Candori at email@example.com to arrange an interview.

Skip to comments.Coal fireplace vs. space heaters vs. steam --tenant question
Posted on 10/10/2012 7:17:05 AM PDT by Feline_AIDS
Hey Freepers,
Once again I come to you with questions. This time it's about heating my apartment. I'm the tenant. State is SC.
I am renting an apartment that is part of a divided house. I live on the top floor. My apartment has 2 coal fireplaces that have obviously not been used for a long time. They are back to back in 2 different rooms, so they share a chimney.
The apartment downstairs had fireplaces in the same spots (same chimney), but a previous tenant removed the mantel on one and closed up the hole (not sure about materials used).
The house had an old boiler, but it was always messing up (my first 2 years living there). The people that worked on it finally said they wouldn't touch it anymore because it was too dangerous. (Great!) So the owners installed a brand new, $15,000 boiler in the basement. It wouldn't work at all because the radiators needed to be bled. All steam hammers and no heat. Another winter passed, and I had no heat except a space heater they provided.
Then the heat worked beautifully (1 year). Enter the moron that ruins everyone's fun: the new girl downstairs. The temperature was controlled by the steam allowed into each radiator because the thermostat had essentially been turned off. (Did I mention all of this $15,000 boiler upgrade was done under the table by a family friend of the owner?) So if you wanted a room to be cooler, you would turn the knob on the bottom of the radiator and limit or close off the intake of steam. But on her radiator, the knob was missing. She needed a wrench. So I loaned her one. She claimed it wouldn't work and she had already complained to the landlord that the heat was broken again. She moved out soon after.
So what does the landlord do? The landlord says enough is enough and he's sick of paying our heating bill in the first place (one of the greatest draws of the apt, second to location).
They install these http://www.lg.com/us/air-conditioners/lg-LW7010HR-window-air-conditioner in all the places where there were older window air conditioners before.
This, they say, is going to be our source of heat and cooling. Initially it was called a "backup" in case the boiler quit again. But surprise! Once it actually got cold, they refused to turn on the boiler.
This product indicates that it has "energy saving" properties, as well as "temperature control." Both of these claims are misleading. This is an airconditioner with a space heater included.
The temperature can be set for the airconditioning, and when the energy saver mode is on, the unit turns itself off (except for the digital temperature numbers on the front) and comes on as needed to maintain the temperature in the room. This should work for the heat too, right? Nope.
When you turn the heat on, you still have to choose a temperature, but the energy saving option is disabled. This means that the unit stays on continuously and blows the air at whatever temperature you choose. This doesn't mean that the room stays that temperature, though. If you tell it to heat to 75, for example, the room will become stifling after a time because the heat source is never reduced.
I thought maybe mine were broken--that I was supposed to have energy saving options--so I called LG. I asked the representative the same question in about 45 different ways, and he told me that no, this unit would never cycle on and off when on the heat setting. It will stay on and produce one temperature air continuously.
In other words, I can't control the temperature of the house unless I'm there to adjust it in the winter. I could leave the unit on, I suppose, but the house would be very hot when I returned because the heat builds and builds. It also seems unsafe with all this old wiring.
Every winter day I come home to a cold house to see my dog shivering to death. And she's wearing a fur coat.
So my question is: Is this legal?
I have no way to set a thermostat to have heating elements maintain that temperature unless I use my standalone space heater which has this function, which was actually bought by the landlords when the first boiler had to be replaced in the dead of winter.
I called the building inspector's office, and talked to a woman who seemed to indicate that a landlord had to supply a thermostat control that would provide a "base of heat." I submitted an anonymous request for the building to be inspected, but nothing ever happened.
I wonder if the inspector did come and a) no one was home, b) he saw the temperature read out and thought that was more than it actually is, or c) the joke's on me for expecting this kind of bureaucracy to ever work in my favor.
There's nothing in my lease about the fireplaces. I want to call a chimney sweep and have him inspect and clean them if needed and fire up some coal!
As you might imagine, a house old enough to have coal fireplaces (1900?) has no insulation and enough cracks and crevices to build a crack house. Running space heaters with no temperature control is... uh... expensive. Not to mention cold (because I can't leave them on).
The best outcome: the landlords turn the boiler back on.
After spending ~$5,000 for 12 of the above units to force us to pay for our own heat (they hate us, obviously), they don't want to have to start paying for heat again. I honestly think the people who installed them were morons, because they thought that the remote had a temperature sensor in it. Then they told me that all the remotes were interchangeable. That doesn't add up, fellas. The owners thought this was the perfect solution to make us pay for our heat. (I guess we're just screwed if/when the power goes out.)
I'm leaving SC in the spring, so moving isn't an option now.
So, freepers, what would you do if you were in my position? As always, thanks in advance for your help.
What do you pay per month? What is the heating cost per month you have to pay now? Move if that's too much for you. You're leaving anyway. Paying a buttload to keep from moving isn't good economics....
Move out now.
You can find short term housing at a motel or hotel and keep your sanity.
I couldn't really follow what you said, but I would guess that if you light a fire in that old chimney, the place will burn down (you didn't mention a lining).
We use this since the kids aren't in the house. We only really need our bedroom, bathroom and kitchen area toasty and in Texas it isn't like it's crazy cold all the time.
It does cut off, too.
If you don't need both window units remove one.
Close up the fireplaces and pur clear plastic kits over the windows.
Use the space heater when you are out (MAKE SURE IT IS SECURE FROM THE PETS) and when you sleep.
Do you have a lease? It may say landlord pays heat since he did at first.
You have a heat source.... that's the good news.
What we used to do back in the old days when I lived in an apartment with a similar problem in OH is open the window in the winter.
If you pay for electricity it's a crappy solution but at least you kinda control the temp.
Best fix would be to get a thermostat wired into the LG heaters IMO.
Do you have more than one of the units?
Sounds complicated. Maybe a letter (less detailed than your post) to the landlord with a deadline date by which they must resolve the heat problem, or you will report them to whatever agency should care. Cite the specific section of the lease, or a highlighted photocopy of the lease, and/or any local ordinances, which indicate that the landlord is responsible for the heat. A nice sweater for your dog?
Is it that the landlord pays for heat, but you pay for electricity? So running space heaters is an expense for you, not the landlord?
Have you talked to other tenants to see how they are resolving this?
If it were me, I would stop paying rent until the heating issue is fixed.
I had a lease that said the landlord provided heat, but they arbitrarily decided to rewrite it without heat and raise my rent last year.
I THINK that they have to provide a method of heating that is controlled by a thermostat, which I do not have. I also think this requirement might have to do with it being a multi-family dwelling and not a stand alone, single family unit.
Every time I call the city, they have no idea that this house has 5 separate units in it...
I have three of the window units.
Space heaters are not intended as sole heat sources. Aging building wiring and space heaters cause fires daily across the country in the winter time. This is one reason new construction requires arc-fault circuit breakers, especially in bedrooms.
As mentioned, live in a motel till spring, life is short enough already, no need to make it shorter.
If your lease included the landlord paying for the heat, and that was not changed, then the landlord is not fulfilling their part of the contract.
Your recourses are:
1. Move claiming breach of contract. The burden will be on you to get back your deposit etc.
2. Withhold rent, based on breach of contract.
3. Withhold last, two-months rent, subtracting out the cost of heating and your deposit.
I am a landlord, and I would not do what you have described to any of my tenants. A contract goes two ways. When I had an A/C go bad, I had a new $5000 unit in place within 24 hours.
To be blunt, the place sounds like an explosion or fire waiting to happen. If it were me — I'd put whatever I didn't absolutely need into storage and move somewhere else NOW for the remaining time you're in the state.
Tried both of these.
Finally wrote them a letter reminding them they had to heat the place or else I'd call the city, and the landlord's response was quote "Why are you doing me like this?"
They evicted one guy who stopped paying his rent until it was fixed.
The other tenants are cold, too, but they're afraid of eviction and need the place for the location. They also don't know that they can have reliable heat from the boiler because they're newer to the place.
Local building code in Ga does not require a thermostat controlled heat source, SC is likely the same.
The only requirement is a heat source capable of heating the living space to a minimum temp of 68 degrees in winter. Sounds like you have that already.
On your coal fireplaces, do not use. Coal produces H2SO4 when it burns and this eats away at the grouting and cement work in the chimney. At least it will need relining before any attempt to use, cost these days on that kind of work is quite high. Between the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and setting the hidden structure on fire, that coal FP should not be used.
I agree! That's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to leave anything running while I'm gone. The new boiler has automatic shutoffs and all sorts of safety features.
The fireplaces will draw the heat up the chimney and pull cold air in through every crack and crevice in the house. The coal will also stink up the neighborhood and you may get complaints from neighbors. If you do use it you will only get radiant heat and the rest will go up the chimeny.
What kind of cooking stove do you have? Electric or Nat Gas? You can use the nat gas stove as a heater but you need to beware of CO if you do it. If on propane or natural gas, you can hook into it with a small non-vented space heater, depending on your city codes.
I live in an old house on natural gas and have several space heaters. There is enough air leaking in to prevent CO poisoning.
I will always have a natural gas or propane system as when an ice storm knocks out all the electricity it also takes out the central heat as the fans in it run on electricity.
So why didn't the Lux thermostatic switch work? I use them to cycle house fans with the temperature and they work great. Are the heater units 220 volts? You can get 220 volts thermostatic switches as well if you need those.
If you definitely plan to move in the spring, check your local eviction regulations. Possibly you can stop paying the rent now, and it may take months for them to legally evict you.
Another idea is to go to local TV news "action reporter" or whatever is available, and make a big deal about it, have it on the news... ?
Quartz heaters as needed is what i do in places I have no other source...old coal fireplaces are pretty and will burn a little wood too but make sure they draft nice...small fire only...but they are not much for heat...a buckstove will run you out of the home in all but NE South Carolina in winter.
I'm in Nashville metro...probably median winter US wise..going without heat in a bad winter here like two years ago would be rough
Renting can be pleasant or excrutiating.
Laws vary based on the municipality and state and are extremely different, especially in practice, depending on where you are.
In NYC, "low income" tenants are pretty much set for life no matter what they do or don't do, including paying the rent.
In nice suburban towns where renting is very politically incorrect, everything is turned in favor of the landlord and against the tenant. There is absolutely no charitable feeling towards tenants in these areas; I was once evicted 3 or 4 days before the lease expired and was only not physically evicted because I had already moved. I was barely able to keep my head above water at the time and could not come up with the last month's rent and the deposit on the new place, so I just scooted and let the landlord keep the security deposit. The dude paid costs of evicting me legally when he did not have to; he just wanted in his own mind to feel that he "evicted" me. The court went ahead and issued the eviction order, even though landlord was not due any money because he had the recourse of keeping the deposit, which he did. A complete waste of the court's time, but it was following "the letter of the law". I've had another landlord that literally waited years for repayment after I moved out, simply kindly calling me.
No sense, IMHO, in "swimming upstream", i.e., expending mental energy in vain.
Allow me to introduce you to something new: the little tiny cheap portable electric space heater. They have gone a LONG way technologically. Some have thermostats. You really only need one for each 400 to 500 square feet of apartment.
Big problem: they are dangerous if not properly used. All electric devices can cause fires if not properly used.
As a programmer, I'm naturally paranoid just short of the point of insanity (I'm actually just a stickler for getting things right). So if I use heaters, generators, motors, fans, whatever, I go to extremes to make sure I'm not overloading the typical 15 AMP circuit, have no "tinder" anywhere near wires or devices (things like rugs, blankets - anything). Electrical resistence produces heat. Wiring that has too small of an electrical capacity for what it's being asked to do will heat up and can burn through. Of course all of these devices are now made by laughing communist Chinese who build all electrical equipment they send to use such that it will start fires (power supplies in computers are famous for this). Whatever devices I have around the house, I make sure I'm not setting myself up for problems - I assume that it WILL burst into flames at some point. Pets can cause problems too (chewing, etc.) but will be very reliable if properly trained. They have an uncanny sense of heat sources and will stay away - they can sense electrical current and do not like it.
If one is not meticulous, electrical space heaters may not be the way to go; a house fire is such a bad event that even if it increases the chance of a fire by 0.00001% you would probably not want to take the risk, seeing how you and puppy are in there.
I do all that I can to be prudent and pray that God might protect me for all the things I did not forsee.
The electrical heaters will use electricity, i.e., make the bill higher, so one should try to minimize overuse. There are probably local ordinances that prohibit space heaters, along with smoking, drinking, possessing a firearm and permitting puppy to poop outside. It would probably be smart to keep the space heater between just you and the few million folks who read FR.
I had a lease that said the landlord provided heat, but they arbitrarily decided to rewrite it without heat and raise my rent last year.
Did you sign this 'arbitrarily" rewriten new lease?
This is a terrible idea. Evictions are legal actions. Withholding rent, at least in Ohio, for any reason without placing the rent into an escrow account with the court, will result in eviction. The landlord will then ask the court to award damages. The judgment will show on a credit report and will more than likely prevent him from renting in the future.
Call the court house that handles evictions in your area and ask about placing your rent into escrow.
If they plug into a socket, you might be able to find a thermostat they can plug into. If it is 220 Voltage and it likely is, it may be harder to find one. If they're hardwired, you will need an electrician or a H/C person to get a thermostat wired in.
I would withhold rent until the landlord resolves the issue. Get in contact with city officials, aldermen, city council, health department if the landlord doesn't respond in a timely manner.
If the building and wiring are old, the current required by the heater/air unit may be pushing the limit of what the wiring can handle. Feel the plug/outlet area after it has been on awhile and see how hot it is. Find someone knowledgeable about wiring and have them check the breaker panel and the size/condition of the wire in the outlets. They may be cutting corners that the building inspector and the fire marshal would like to know about.
If the city makes him turn on the boiler they will allow him to add the cost to your rent.
If that will make you happy go for it.
The LG LW7010HR has heat control. The fan will keep running but the heater will turn on and off. There should be a setting that works for you.
Leaking windows will allow cool air in to the thermostat though.
Good luck. You made a bad deal to pay more rent and also pay for the heat but that's life.
Note that I prefaced the response by sayign to check the local regulations.
Sounds like a case for constructive eviction. Ask a lawyer.
Wow, crazy situation you have there. I can't figure out why if the heat didn't work because the radiatiors needed to be bled, they didn't just bleed them? It takes about 30 seconds. Same for why the owner didn't just go buy a radiator handle for like 3 bucks?
As to whether the situation is legal, most likely it is not, but it will depend on the laws in your state/locality. Even when you have a lease where you are specifically responsible for providing your own heat, the owner usually must provide the means for the heat, and you just have to pay the bills. Not providing usable heating generally falls under the category of "unlivable conditions", which means, in most states, you do not have to pay rent until that situation is rectified by the owner.
I'd go see a lawyer that specializes in tenant law, because you can probably not only get the situation remedied, but you might have compensation coming your way, the way this sounds.
I went all winter without furnace heat in central Indiana.
Never dropped below 45 but I was using a woodstove to get thru overnight and whenever I was there to tend to it.
2 options:
Get a 110v light timer to cycle the window unit(s) [might also work with space heater esp. if you could confine your dog to the warmest best-insulated room]. Maybe there's an option for a 220v timer too?
If you have an electric clothes dryer disconnect the vent hose and clean all the screens and hose airways. Put some old panty hose over the end of the hose or secure with used dryer sheets. You may only be able to run the dryer for an hour or so with heat on high, but I was able to get an extra 5 degrees/hour - downside is you spend a lot more time dusting everything.
Be careful with the timer - it's a good idea but a light timer doesn't have the contact rating for a heater... just look at the ratings.
Ya got three units run one .... and crack the window open.
Yes. Dumb, I know. I was able to negotiate month-to-month instead of another year so I could split as soon as my contract was up, but the contract was extended and I'm here another winter.
I will talk to a lawyer. I'm sick of dealing with this.
They did bleed the radiators after they realized that was keeping the new boiler from working, but the under-the-table guys were from three hours away. (You couldn't make this stuff up.) And every time there was a tiny problem like bleeding a radiator, they'd have to drive three hours here and three hours back. So that caused a time delay in repairs, which caused the dumb girl downstairs to start complaining about it being too hot, which led to them shutting the whole thing off.
The owner himself didn't go buy the radiator handle himself because he also lives several hours away. They have yet another person acting as the landlord. That person is a clueless drunk who drives around with full wine glasses in the cupholder. (Again, I couldn't even make this stuff up.) I'm not sure, but I believe the owner inherited the property from his mother, who lived locally and cared about the actual building as well as the tenant. I believe the elderly owner died soon after the new boiler was installed.
It's a mess.
I'm just slapping my head about this... they should have just given the tenants radiator keys. It's just a little piece of metal with a square key cylinder, they are all the same and probably cost a buck or two at the hardware store. You guys could have just bled them anytime they needed bleeding.
No kidding! It was a great mystery to me—why didn't the repair guys add new knobs to all the radiators? My best guess is they wanted to keep getting called back to "fix" it and keep getting paid. It was terrible. And now I'm cold!

The International Section has three staff attorney positions held by Ole Varmer, Derek Campbell, and Stephanie Altman, and a Senior Counselor position held by Richard Mannix. The Section Chief is Peter Oppenheimer. The Organization Chart provides additional information as to the office's structure.
The International Section provides legal advice and assistance to NOAA and other U.S. Government agencies on the development, negotiation, interpretation, and application of customary and conventional international law, as well as domestic law relating to:
These and other issues or areas of practice are set forth in the left navigation bar. The office has created two matrices that identify which of the attorney(s) cover these and other issues for our office: one lists in alphabetical order the issues covered by the office and the other groups the issues by the attorney who covers them. All of the attorneys work on the cross-cutting issues such as the law of the sea.
The significant developments page highlights some of the more important accomplishments of the office over the past several years. The authorities and mandates page includes digests of the specific authority and responsibility NOAA has to pursue its global mission including the statutory authority to undertake specific activities or to pursue a specific strategy in an international context. In particular, there is a catalogue provisions that authorize the transfer of funds or other types of support either into or out of NOAA and that contemplate as at least one reason for such a transfer the advancement of NOAA's international engagements and commitments. We have also collected the policy drivers for NOAA's International engagements.
The Section's legal services help assure that NOAA's policy development and programmatic activities with respect to the marine environment are consistent with, and take into account, the Law of the Sea Convention and other applicable rules of international law. The International Section further helps NOAA pursue and protect the agency's interests in the context of interagency and international processes. Finally, the Section is often called upon to review and help develop or amend domestic legislation.
The International Section program and staff office clients include:

text: Does anyone in their right mind not realize the EU wants to get its greedy paws on all that oil and natural gas? Why in the heck would Putin suddenly blow off all that Russian money in Cypriot banks? Israel must form a JV with Cyprus to exploit the oil fields. The EU must find a way to buy oil denominated in euros. Only DK can supply oil to Europe and accept payment in euros.

26. Picture of Portuguese Man of War Sting
Image Source: Color Atlas of Pediatric Dermatology Samuel Weinberg, Neil S. Prose, Leonard KristalCopyright 2008, 1998, 1990, 1975, by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved.
The sting of the Portuguese man-of-war. One of the most painful effects on skin is the consequence of attack by oceanic hydrozoans known as Portuguese men-of-war, which are amazing for their size, brilliant color, and power to induce whealing. They have a small float that buoys them up and from which hang long tentacles. The wrap of these tentacles results in linear stripes, which look like whiplashes, caused not by the force of their swing but from deposition of urticariogenic and irritant substances.

Citing Topeka Capital analyst Brian White, BGR reports that Apple will finally launch its long-rumored HDTV in the second half of 2013. According to the report, during his meeting with supply chain sources in China and Taiwan, White gleaned information from "unnamed sources" that convinced him that Apple's "iTV" will be launched by the end of 2013 and it will include "a major innovation that will revolutionize the TV experience."
Rumor: Apple TV set coming this year with "iRing" navigation pointer and "mini iTV" second screen for $1,500 – $2,500
Digitimes, a site that has a hit-or-miss track record when it comes to Apple rumors, reports that Apple is continuing to develop a TV that is likely to sport an Ultra HD 4K display (3840 x 2160). According to the sources, a standalone Apple TV set could launch by the end of this year, but it is more likely that Apple decides to unveil it in early 2014.
Getting the most out of XBMC on your Apple TV is a difficult thing to do. Whether watching the latest movies, looking to stream last nights TV episodes, listening to music on Pandora, or playing video games on your Apple TV 1 or Apple TV2, XBMC has the ability to handle the job. But wait, there's more! What most people tend to overlook is that XBMC goes far beyond a stand alone media center. With this software installed you can use your Apple TV as a social media hub, a torrent controller, a Nintendo gaming console, or even the front end of an NZB client.
Back in January XBMC released the long awaited Frodo 12.0 for all of your Apple products. Now you can install XBMC on your iPads, iPhones, iPods, and your, glorious, little Apple TV 2. The installation is almost the exact same as installing previous builds of XBMC with 4 subtle differences. Here we have put together a guide that incorporates these changes. So, sit back, relax and grab a cup of coffee.
It was not long ago that we shared the news regarding Apple officially activating its Bluetooth hardware, via the 5.2 update, on their Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 devices. Though it seems that support is limited to Bluetooth keyboards, not Bluetooth remotes, only time will tell if Apple has a line of new peripherals on the way for us all. As exciting as the news is, having Bluetooth capabilities does no good if users are unsure/unable to utilize these features.
aTV Flash (black) update v2.2 includes support for Apple TVs on 5.2: what features/plugins work and what doesn't?
The FireCore team's aTV Flash software, known as "black", has recently been updated to version 2.2. This update incorporates support for Apple's latest 5.2 software update (iOS 6.1), which officialy opened up support for Bluetooth devices to pair with your Apple TV. This is very exciting for those of you who had accidentally, or perhaps purposely, updated your black boxes in the past weeks. For those of you who have not yet updated your device, you need to consider one important question prior to clicking that software update option. The question before you is simply: "do I use Plex, Remote HD, Rowmote, or XBMC on my Apple TV?" If your answer is yes you may want to hold off on the Apple update as Apple's latest software update also breaks these tools. We are sure this will be fixed, but as of now any Apple TV running 5.1 or higher will not have access to the items listed above.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
Gray Khadi Tufted Floor Cushion
Reviewed by 4 customers
Comments about Gray Khadi Tufted Floor Cushion:
Was looking for extra den seating and this fit the bill.
Comments about Gray Khadi Tufted Floor Cushion:
I ordered these for our family room. I have two in another color and they are very comfortable. The cushions arrived and I unpacked them and tossed them on the floor. A few hours later, my husband and I were watching tv and we both smelled a strong "moldy" odor. It was the cushions.
Comments about Gray Khadi Tufted Floor Cushion:
I'm very happy that my hunt for a firm & comfortable floor pillow has ended! I bought two of these and they are well constructed and seem very durable. Sitting on the pillow provides enough support for me to comfortably cross fold my legs in front of me. The height of the cushion is perfect to store under even a low couch and the handles make it very easy to carry. The grey color is a great neutral for any room.
Comments about Gray Khadi Tufted Floor Cushion:
I'm really impressed by how heavy these floor cushions are. I'm actually using two as the cushions for a wood nursery glider that I acquired for free, they fit perfectly. Even better I can use them as intended - floor cushions - when I'm done with the glider. Great neutral grey color as well.

Woke up real early on thursday morning. took a cab from home to pick rachel and jac from pasir ris before heading over to the airport. 🙂 We're early as zhiwei and the rest are not there yet. We checked in our luggage when zhi wei, diana and marc arrived. But, some unhappy incident happened at the counter whereby we needa pay extra more for our baggage as we've exceeded our initial baggage allowance. But, we managed to chill and cool down rather fast as we didn't want to damper our holiday mood 😀
Initially we wanted to grab a bite after checking in, but looks like we've wasted too much time on the baggage, and we're left with less than 15 mins before the gate closed! so… we needa rushed over to the gate !!
Harlo everyone! I'm back in singapore after a extremely fun and enjoyable Bangkok trip with my BBFs. Pics are all uploaded onto my com

Helen Epstein
Helen Epstein is an American writer of memoir, journalism and biography who lives in Massachusetts, United States.
|This section of a biography of a living person does not include any references or sources. (April 2011) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Epstein was born to Franci and Kurt Epstein November 27, 1947 in Prague, Czechoslovakia, raised in New York City, and graduated from Hunter College High School in 1965.
Epstein was a student at Hebrew University when, during the summer of 1968, she traveled to Prague and was caught in the Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia. Her first-person account of the invasion was published in The Jerusalem Post, where she later worked as a university correspondent for two years. Her early work there determined her career in writing non-fiction.
In 1971, she graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and began writing cultural reportage for the New York Times' Sunday edition as well as many national magazines, specializing in profiles of classical musicians including Vladimir Horowitz, Leonard Bernstein and Yo Yo Ma. Several of these are collected in her book Music Talks (McGraw-Hill 1987) and republished as an e-book in 2010.
Epstein is married to consultant Patrick Mehr and has two grown sons, Daniel and Sam. She has been a teacher since 1974, was the first tenured woman professor in New York University's Journalism Department. She currently lectures internationally on literary non-fiction, particularly memoir and family history. She reviews Boston area and Berkshire County cultural events online for [theartsfuse.com] and does occasional book reviewing for the "New York Times" and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
In 1979 Epstein published her best-known book, Children of the Holocaust (Putnam), which has since become a much-translated classic on transmission of trauma across generations, used in psychology courses as well as Holocaust Studies.[citation needed] Her sequel to this book is the memoir Where She Came From (Little, Brown 1997) which has also been widely translated, most recently into Spanish, French, and Italian. A 2010 electronic edition with an updated bibliography and new introduction is now available.
Her biography Joe Papp: An American Life[1] was the first full-length biography of the producer. Her profile of art scholar Meyer Schapiro in ARTnews was similarly the first of its kind. Her books have been translated into several languages. Her biographies of Papp and Tina Packer, founder and director of Shakespeare & Company[2] in The Berkshires of Massachusetts reflect her ongoing interest in theater. She is also the translator of Heda Kovaly's Under a Cruel Star, a memoir of life under both Nazism and Stalinism in Central Europe and of "Acting in Terezin" by Vlasta Schoenova.
Her collection of essays on non-fiction Ecrire La Vie was published in France in 2009.[3] She is Editorial Director of Plunkett Lake Press E-Books of Life writing.
She has lectured at universities, museums, and religious institutions on three continents, and continues to review cultural events for the New England online arts journal artsfuse.org.

Product DescriptionInitially known only as the Colt Automatic Target Pistol, the Woodsman was a unique sporting pistol based on a design by John Browning. The first series Woodsman can be easily recognized by its distinctive profile, which resembles the German Luger in the rakish grip angle. The medium barrel Woodsman has a small step down and then tapers to .525 of an inch at the muzzle. This first series Woodsman features a windage adjustable rear sight checkered wooden grips, and the original two-tone magazine that is missing its button. This pre-1931 model pistol features adjustable sights and a slide-lock safety and comes with two 10-round magazines. Its wood and metal are in good condition and its bore is in very good condition.

|Here are some details about my project:
|Home Decor
What are you most proud of? Discovering the i-cord loop to hang the ornaments with (also used on python necklace - see my other post). I started at the top - provisional cast on 3 st, make an i-cord of about 2.5", then picked up the stitches from the provisional start and began knitting in the round, 6 sts, quickly increasing over 6-8 rows to the number needed for the widest part of the foam egg.
too cute!!!!
were is the pattern for them please
There is no specific pattern - it uses all the same principles as Betsy teaches in her craftsy class. I just choose thicker wool, larger needles and knitted swatches to test sizing until I got it right. The post above describing the i-cord loop gives you an idea of how I started. This is about adapting the principles to the materials that you have to work with. Hope that helps!
Ils sont tellement beaux !
