WOW! It is going to cost that much for about six weeks. Is that why congress did not pass the 2012 Budget? I do not even make this much money in a month. So that means that I am going in debt every six weeks. It is about time that congress 'table' everything else that they are wasting taxpayers money on and pass a full budget for 2012 (NOT just a continuing resolution.

Congress has being doing this for years now. They can't get the people's business taken care off because they are to busy campaigning for re election or on vacation half the time these days. It is call a continuing resolution until they pass a budget. They should not go on break in August. They should be required to pass a budget in August for the next fiscal year which beings 1 October.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
On March 19, 2003, the US launched a preemptive strike against Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The war was supposed to last "six days, six weeks... I doubt six months," and cost under $50 billion, according to Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush's Secretary of Defense at the time. Today—105 months, $823.2 billion dollars, 4,800-plus coalition deaths, and countless thousands of civilian casaulties later—the last US combat troops have finally left Iraq. For Iraqis and veterans, the after-effects of Operation Iraqi Freedom will linger on for years to come.
But America wasn't just at war with Iraq: The war in Afghanistan rages on, and America's counterterrorism battles continue at home. Mother Jones has been posting photos of America's soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines every week since 2008 to remind ourselves and our readers that we're still at war. This slideshow is a collection of 12 of these images, one for each month of 2011. From the mountains of Afghanistan to the US military's training ranges in Alaska, these photos of our troops are a reminder that there's still no end in sight.

New-Home Data Boosts Homebuilders
Sales of new homes in April were up 29% from last year, hitting a better-than-expected seasonally adjusted rate of 454,000. The data builds on recent evidence that the U.S. housing market is finally getting back to full health:
Pent-up demand is one factor behind the improving sales of new homes. "Household formation actually ramped up for the last year or two after some pretty substantial declines," PulteGroup (PHM) Chief Financial Officer Bob O'Shaughnessy said earlier this week. In addition to population growth, household formation can grow when people move out of shared homes with family or housemates to their own properties.
Tight inventories also are playing a role, as builders have been slow to put up new homes after the bursting of the housing bubble, and as owners of existing homes have largely kept their properties off the market.
The news has lifted homebuilder stocks today -- while the Standard & Poor's 500 index is down 0.4%, shares of Lennar (LEN) are up 1.8% and KB Home (KBH) is up 2.4%. Toll Brothers (TOL) stock is up 2.1% at the latest, while PulteGroup and DR Horton (DHI) shares are up about 0.5%.

Video: Kerry's speech at the Angelides event, uncut(?)
posted at 9:10 pm on November 1, 2006 by Allahpundit
I don't know for sure that it's uncut but it looks that way.
The pertinent material comes right at the beginning. He takes the podium at 1:30, delivers a pair of feeble Bush jokes, then seems to transition into the serious part of his speech — which is immediately followed by the "education" line at 2:15.
Reluctant verdict: inconclusive. But judge for yourself. Click the image to watch.
Update: Dafydd ab Hugh agrees that it was a joke — a joke Kerry was directing at U.S. troops, not George Bush.
It was a "blooper," says Dean-o.
Update: The boss agrees with Dafydd that Waffles's delivery was too smooth to have been "botched." She thinks he said exactly what he meant to say. It's possible, although even as delivered, the line could be construed as a reference to Bush. James Lileks, to take just one example, heard it that way.
Of course, this doesn't explain why Waffles's version of what he meant to say keeps changing.
Update: Patterico thinks Kerry was making fun of Bush.
Update: Apparently I'm "crazy" for believing that Kerry's remark might have been aimed squarely at Bush and not at Bush by way of American soldiers:
[W]hen Kerry says "make yourself smart or get educated, or you get stuck in Iraq," he's not offering Iraq up as a good place ot be. He intends, of course, to mean Iraq as a threat held out to those who don't "make themselves smart and get educated" — and that is an indirect swipe at Bush (because Bush made Iraq so bad, so now you live in danger of being sent there if you don't de-retardify yourself).
Yes, he does mean it, as he means everything, as ultimately a crack about Bush. But he was, in fact, talking about our soldiers — or rather, urging students to study up and not end up like our stupid, uneducated soldiers, winding up in Bush's unilateral war of choice.
The best evidence we have of what he meant is the context. The context had to do with Bush. Ace ignores that to focus on the Larger Truth: that Democrats generally and Kerry specifically are, always and in every context, troop-haters, and what's more are so fervent in that hatred that they'd be willing to voice it a week before an election. Never mind the dozen or so, including Murtha, who criticized Kerry for what he said. That's just politics. They all hate the troops, they're just afraid of the political consequences of saying so.
Once you've made that move — they believe X, and if they say they don't believe it, they're lying — you're in nutroots territory.
So yeah, I think it's inconclusive. But if I had to bet, I'd bet with Lileks and Patterico that he meant it as a dig at Bush and no one else. This was his clumsy way of saying, "Bush mismanaged the war because he's a moron who never studied." He should have been more specific but he wasn't because he's a clod. Surprise.
Update: The latest Bleat is up. Emphasis mine:
It's possible to view this outside of what people think Kerry has expressed before – gaffe-wise, sometimes a cigar is just a cigre. I mean zagar. I meant cigar, and it's clear I meant cigar, and I will not sit here and have my spelling challenged by people who never correctly rattled off the letters in "antidisestablishmentarianism" while half in the bag on a bet in college. In any case, I don't have any Outrage over the matter because I don't particularly care what Sen. Kerry says, and don't see him as a relevant actor in modern politics. I understand why great amounts of hay is being thrashed over the matter, this being an election season. I understand how some are using the gaffe to draw attention to a greater point re: the hard left's attitudes towards the military, but if that wasn't actually the point Kerry was making then I can't jump on board and affirm the greater point. That smacks of fake-but-accurate.

Women's Track & Field
Mike Straubel
|Assistant Coach (Distance)
The longest-tenured coach at Valparaiso University, Mike Straubel enters his 30th season leading the Crusader men's and women's cross country teams.
Most recently, Jessica Richardson has earned First Team All-League recognition three times (2012, 2013, 2014) while under Straubel's tutelage. Straubel also helped Liz Bloy to First-Team All-League honors in 2014 and Second Team All-League honors in 2015.
Straubel led the Crusaders into the Horizon League in 2007 and guided both the men's and women's squads to mid-pack finishes in their debuts at the competitive league championships. Both squads boasted two All-League honorees, and Laura Rolf captured the individual championship on the women's side.
Those continued the recent success of the Crusader cross country program. In 2006, their last year competing in the Mid-Continent Conference, Straubel guided both the men's and women's sides to their respective best finishes in the Mid-Continent Conference. Straubel led the Crusader men to a fourth-place finish, matching the best placement in team history, while the women finished second after three consecutive third-place finishes. The two teams combined to earn seven All-Conference honors, the most in a single season in Straubel's career.
Individually, many of Straubel's runners have enjoyed tremendous success. The Crusader mentor has seen his runners earn 42 All-League awards, 10 All-Indiana honors, five All-Region commendations, two Newcomer of the Year awards, and two Runner of the Year awards. Straubel has also coached two Indiana State Champions.
Three Crusaders have stood out individually during Straubel's tenure, rewriting the Valpo record books and representing the Crusaders on a regional and national stage. Collette Liss, who donned the Valpo uniform from 1996-99, is a member of the Valpo Athletics Hall of Fame and was a two-time All-Region honoree, Mid-Con Individual Champion and named the conference's Runner of the Year. Aaron Crague, who ran for the Crusaders from 1998-2001 and is also a Valpo Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, earned First Team All-Conference honors three times under Straubel's guidance and set Valpo's 8K and 10K records.
Most recently, Straubel has coached Rolf as she has dominated the cross country scene for the Crusaders. In her first three seasons, she has earned All-Region honors all three years and has posted top-five finishes in 12 of her 20 career races. The three-time First Team All-League honoree captured the Horizon League championship last year and earned the league's Athlete of the Year honor, joining Liss as the only runners in program history to receive their league's most prestigious honor.
A full-time professor in Valpo's Law School, Straubel took three students from his Valparaiso Sports Law Clinic to Torino, Italy for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games. In Torino, Straubel and his staff provided free advice to any athletes in need of some type of legal support.
An avid runner, Straubel ran collegiately at both Marquette University and McGill University in Montreal, Quebec. While in Canada, he was a member of Quebec's national championship qualifying 4x800 relay team which won a Provincial Championship.
Straubel became a Masters All-American in the mile in 1998 and in the 3,000m in 2000. In 1991, he took third place in the 3,000m steeplechase at the Track Athletics Congress (TAC) National Masters Championships.
Also an assistant coach with the Crusader track and field team, Straubel earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 from Western Michigan, picked up his J.D. from the Marquette Law School in 1982 and earned a LL.M. degree from McGill in 1987.

Taxonomy and Phylogeny
From EvoWiki
Taxonomy is the theoretical study of classification and the principles, procedures and rules thereof. Essentially, taxonomy deals with the ways in which we group living things together. Phylogeny refers to evolutionary history.
Taxonomy has a long history, with Aristotle giving the first detailed classification of living things. His classification of animals was:
- Blooded (vertebrates)
- Viviparous quadrupeds (land mammals)
- Birds
- Oviparous quadrupeds (reptiles and amphibians)
- Fish
- Cetaceans (Aristotle did not realize their mammalian nature)
- Bloodless (invertebrates)
- Land arthropods (insects, arachnids, myriapods)
- Aquatic arthropods (mostly crustaceans)
- Shelled animals (shelled mollusks, echinoderms, etc.)
- Soft animals (cephalopods, etc.)
- Plant-animals (cnidarians, etc., which superficially resemble plants)
However, he had made no effort to classify plants or fungi. Modern approaches to taxonomy, while obviously more diverse than in Aristotle's time, but can be lumped into three major schools: phenetic, phylogenetic (cladistic), and evolutionary.
Phenetic Taxonomy
Phenetics is an approach to grouping organisms based on total (or "raw") similarity. Although its history dates back centuries to the French botanist Michel Adanson, phenetics underwent something of a renaissance in the 60's, 70's and early 80's in response to a growing dissatisfaction with what its practitioners viewed as the arbitrary and nonquantitative approaches that rose to prominence in the 1950's. Particularly troubling was the evolutionary taxonomy of Ernst Mayr, George Gaylord Simpson and others (described more fully below) that appeared to be more "art" than science.
On this basis, rigorous computationally-driven clustering methods were developed to combat these perceived problems. Information about organisms would be gathered, fed into computers, and out would come hierarchical arrangements of organisms based on overall similarity, typically arranged in a "tree" of sorts called a phenogram.
It is important to draw a distinction between phenetics as an approach to taxonomy, and phenetics as a tool for deciphering the evolutionary relationships of organisms. Although phenetic clustering can and has been used to generate phylogenetic trees, to the phenetic taxonomist, any convergence of his phenogram on a phylogentic tree is purely coincidental. Even if the groups he were to arrive at phenetically were nothing like the groups we'd discover if we had a chance to look at the true tree of life, it wouldn't matter; there are reasons, they think, for representing living things this way independent of evolution.
Phylogenetic (Cladistic) Taxonomy
Main article: Cladistics
Since the dawn of taxonomic science, its practitioners had arranged groups via the emphasis of certain characters. The group we know as birds were delimited because they all had feathers, and when Linnaeus was writing, were toothless. Invertebrates lacked a notochord, vertebrates possessed one. And while groups appeared to be nested within in each other, this was seen as just another part of God's special creation.
With Charles Darwin and modern evolution biology, however, scientists, including Darwin himself, began to understand that: "Our classifications will come to be, as far as they can be so made, genealogies; and will then truly give what may be called the plan of creation." Such genealogies are more usually called "phylogenies", using a word invented by Ernst Haeckel, a dedicated investigator of such arrangements. And the idea that taxa are to represent groupings defined by evolution has been an integral part of biology ever since.
Cladistics, invented by entomologist Willi Hennig in the 1950's, is the sort of rigorous application of the concept of evolution to taxonomy that Darwin envisioned. Phylogenies are established by what distinctive features their members share to the exclusion of more distantly related organisms. Thus, if one wants to identify some subgroup of insects, features that all insects have in common, like six legs and segmented bodies, are useless. One has to use features or combinations of features that only that subgroup has, like front wings becoming hard wing covers for Coleoptera (beetles) or scaly wings for Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). One constructs phylogenies with this technique by trying to find the family tree that involves the fewest feature changes (steps), and thus the smallest amount of convergent evolution. Like phenetics, cladistics is almost always done by computer.
Groups are then delimited on this basis. Unlike the taxonomists of yore, phylogenetic taxonomists only recognize monophyletic groups; a group derived from a single common ancestor that contains all descendents of that ancestor. Thus, any definition of invertebrate that contains all forms without a notochord but not their descendants, i.e., those with a notochord, is seen as artificial and unscientific.
Evolutionary Taxonomy
Finally, traditional taxonomy is essentially a hybrid of these two, though sometimes a very subjective one. Traditional taxonomy has admitted numerous taxa that are cladistically illegitimate, because they exclude some of the descendants of the ancestors of their members. Such traditional taxa as Pisces, Reptilia, etc. are cladistically illegitimate, because legged vertebrates are descended from fish and birds from reptiles. "Evolutionary taxonomy" is essentially traditional taxonomy with evolution taken into account.
For the most part, hierarchy-based taxonomy has been very successful, but one-celled organisms often practice lateral gene transfer, and sometimes even lateral genome transfer (endosymbiosis), which cause difficulty for such taxonomies. In such cases, the "proper" taxonomies are those of genes or sets of genes, though as explained above, some genes serve as a reasonable proxy for the whole organism.
Creationist Taxonomy
Creationists have developed a concept of created kinds or "baramins" -- sets of species that share some specially-created ancestor. However, despite appropriating some cladistics jargon, they do not have any well-defined procedure for identifying baramins. As a result, they have great disagreements as to what baramins there are. Even worse, these disagreements are coupled with a curious lack of interest in resolving them, as mainstream scientists have often tried to do in similar circumstances.
The criteria by which we group organisms is one thing; the manner in which we give them names, what those names mean and how we define them, is another. The approach to naming groups (nomenclature) most familiar to all of us was invented by Carl von Linné, (a.k.a. Carolus Linnaeus). He invented binomial nomenclature by snipping the then-often-used <genus> + <lots of attributes of a species> down to <genus> + <some distinctive attribute of a species>. He also rationalized nomenclature, using the same name for both sexes and for adults and juveniles of a species. Like many of his contemporaries, he used Latin, which has the useful feature of being nationalistically neutral since the fall of the Roman Empire.
His hierarchy of taxa (singular: taxon) was kingdom, class, order, genus, and species, but later taxonomists added phylum, division, family, lots of sub- and supertaxa, and even such taxa as domain, cohort, tribe, and section.
Taxonomic names and parts of names come from a variety of sources, though they must all be Latinized. Aside from personal and place names, taxonomic name parts are almost always words drawn from Latin and Classical Greek, with other languages occasionally represented. They are often common names (Homo, Canis, Bos, Equus, Columba, Salmo, Apis, Lilium, Rosa, Quercus, Pinus, etc.), and also words for various features and descriptions of them. Compound words are very common, though this sometimes leads to very long and difficult to pronounce names like Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (the purple sea urchin, found off the North American coast of the Pacific, often used as a model system). Higher-level taxa are often named after genera that they contain.
Several taxonomic ranks have standardized suffixes. Animal families end in -idae, plant families in -aceae, bird orders in -iformes, plant orders in -ales, etc. However, genera and lower-ranking taxa do not; genus names are singular nouns, while species names are either singular nouns, adjectives, or genitives (Latin's of-case). Also, taxon names above the genus are all plurals or collectives, whether or not they have some standardized suffix. Such conventions allow comparison of the ranks of different taxa at a glance.
Many organisms have received different names from different taxonomists; such conflicts are resolved by using the first-bestowed name. Thus, Apatosaurus pushed out Brontosaurus and Hyracotherium pushed out Eohippus. Although the international codes of nomenclature have no rules against it, this rule of priority has meant that some inappropriate names -- names that don't accurately reflect the content or characters of taxa -- have survived. The chimpanzee, Pan troglodytes, got its species name because Linnaeus had believed that it lives in caves; it actually lives in forests, making Pan silvanus more appropriate. Also, Basilosaurus ("king lizard") turned out to be an early cetacean rather than a marine reptile upon closer examination. The Venus Flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, might be more appropriately named something like Insecticaptrix muscipula or even Insecticaptrix carolinensis (Insect-taker/grabber (f., like planta), from Carolina).
Always Treelike?
An interesting conundrum is posed by organisms that have originated by symbiosis, since their phylogeny cannot be easily fit into a treelike topology. Lichens are the symbiosis of a fungus and an alga, which gives lichens that problem. But the fungus is more choosy about which alga than the alga about which fungus, meaning that lichen taxonomy follows that of their component fungi.
Related to this conundrum is organisms that have performed much lateral gene transfer, and sometimes even lateral genome transfer (endosymbiosis), as many one-celled organisms have done. In particular, the taxonomy of prokaryotes has traditionally been descriptive, because it has been difficult to work out their phylogeny without using molecular sequences. And if their molecules are all scrambled, as has been suggested, then one may be stuck with descriptive taxonomy. But the "average" molecular phylogeny approximates that of information-system macromolecules like often-used ribosomal RNA. So as with lichens, a treelike phylogeny-based taxonomy remains reasonable when one uses some reasonable subset of the organism.
Because of the various problems with standard Linnaean taxonomy and nomenclature, some researchers have instead advocated a radical cladistics-based approach known as PhyloCode (see http://www.ohiou.edu/phylocode/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhyloCode); however, many other researchers feel the PhyloCode approach is clumsy, awkward, and throws out the proverbial baby with the proverbial bathwater (see http://www.systass.org/archive/events-archive/2001/phylocode-debate.shtml ).

Frequently Asked Questions
The term "cold water sandwich" effect is used to describe the introduction of cold water into the hot water supply line during frequent on/off operation of an instantaneous hot water heater. When present, this effect appears as a momentary drop in hot water temperature as it is discharged from a hot water supply outlet (i.e., shower, tub, or faucet). It's a phenomenon that is present in the operation of all instantaneous and on-demand tankless water heaters, but is minimized with the high-tech design of Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters are microprocessor–controlled, and when water flow ceases, they remain in a "ready-to-fire state" for approximately one minute. If water flow begins within the first minute following water flow stoppage, the water heater will fire back up within one to two seconds. This minimizes the "cold water sandwich" effect that would otherwise be experienced with a less innovative tankless water heater.
There are two types of periodic maintenance that your service technician can perform to keep your Rinnai Tankless Water Heater running smoothly:
The in-line screen filter should be checked periodically for debris (time between filter checks will be dependent on water quality).
The unit should be flushed periodically (time between flushes will be dependent on water quality) to keep the unit free of scale and lime. This process should be completed by a professional installer. Please contact an installer near you.
The wait time to get hot water is primarily determined by the distance between the water heater and the point of use. Rinnai Tankless Hot Water Heaters produce hot water within a few seconds of first water flow from a cold start. However, you must purge all the cold water out of the pipe between the hot water heater and your point of use. For example, if your kitchen sink is 50 feet from the hot water heater and the water flow rate is one gallon per minute, it should take approximately 90 seconds for hot water to reach your sink.
Because of their small size, you can place Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters in locations that you could never place a tank. If you can place your hot water heater close to your primary points of use—such as your kitchen or master bath—you drastically reduce the wait time.
Make sure the tankless water heater is connected to gas, water and electricity supplies, and that the power is turned on and the gas is turned on.
During cold weather, when the exhaust temperature is much hotter than the outside air, the exhaust fumes condense producing water vapor.
The fan is designed to continue running for a short time after the flow of water stops. This is to ensure constant water temperatures during rapid starting and stopping, as well as exhausting any residual gas flue products from the unit.
We have specific tankless water heaters available that are certified for installation in Mobile and Modular Homes. These units include both our Luxury and Value Series units.

Rinnai offers a limited Field Conversion Program. Kits for converting gas tankless water heaters from natural gas to propane or vice versa are available for most models. Please have your installer/service provider call 1-800-621-9419 to find out if your model qualifies and to obtain a detailed step-by-step conversion instruction kit.
These kits are available directly from Rinnai, and will be shipped only after the installer/service provider has contacted Rinnai's technical support services and consulted one of our technical specialists, to ensure the installer/service provider performing the conversion is qualified to do so. The Field Conversion Program is available for products which have been installed and where gas type availability has changed. It will not be approved for use in conversion of non-sold inventory or mobile homes.
We do not offer a battery backup system—also known as an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS)—for our products. Please check with your local retail store for a UPS that may be suitable for your needs.
We do not make an electric model. There are several potential drawbacks to electric tankless water heater units: First, the power requirements of electric units large enough to provide hot water for a typical household can be prohibitive. For example, a unit that can provide three gallons per minute with an 80° F temperature rise would require about a 150 amp 230VAC circuit. This is about eight times the power required for a three-ton central air conditioning system.
Second, the relative operating cost of electric tankless water heaters is much higher than gas water heaters. Based on national averages, electricity costs almost twice as much per BTU as natural gas. Even with propane, gas tankless water heaters are considerably less expensive to operate than those that run on electricity.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters operate using natural gas or propane and have an electronic ignition.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters are not UL certified, but are certified by CSA International to ANSI Z21.10.3 Standard Gas Water Heaters, Volume III, Storage Water Heaters with Input Ratings Above 75,000 Btu/h. However, the following internal electrical components are UL certified:
- a. Transformer E (UL 1411)
- b. Relay (UL 41515)
- c. Wire & Conduit (UL 1430)
Yes. Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters feature freeze protection for outside temperatures as cold as -22° F (-30° C) for indoor models or as cold as -4° F (-20° C) for outdoor models when protected from direct wind exposure, as long as there is both power and gas supply to the appliance. The pipes feeding the unit MUST be heat-traced and insulated to provide freeze protection.
Rinnai strongly recommends the installation of an optional drain-down system on units installed outside in cold climates. This system, if installed, will allow all water inside the unit to drain out if there's a power and/or gas outage or a component failure in the product. See the owner's manual for optional drain-down system piping.
Please keep in mind that Rinnai Tankless Gas Water Heaters need to see a demand of over 0.4 to 0.6 gallons per minute of water flow through the hot side in order to ignite and 0.26 gallons per minute to stay in operation. If the flow rate falls below this level, the unit will turn off because it senses that hot water is no longer needed.
There are several possible solutions to minimum flow rate issues: lowering the temperature on the unit to a more comfortable temperature to avoid cutting in too much cold water; cleaning the inlet water filter on the cold water inlet of the unit (sediment buildup in the filter can decrease flow into the unit); cleaning or removing the aerators from showerheads or fixtures; or replacing low-flow showerheads or fixtures.
If you believe that this is not the issue, contact your original installer or plumber to service the unit.
The maximum flow rate that our tankless hot water heaters can produce depends on temperature rise — the difference between the set temperature of the unit and that of the incoming ground water. For instance, if you set the temperature of the unit to 120° F and the incoming groundwater temperature is 60° F, the temperature rise is 60°.
The lower the set temperature, and the higher the incoming groundwater temperature, the more hot water flow the unit can produce and vice versa. If sized correctly for your application, the unit(s) should not have a problem producing enough flow for your hot water needs.
The life expectancy of a Rinnai Tankless Hot Water Heater is up to 20 years. Actual performance will vary depending on water quality, usage rates, environmental conditions, and regular maintenance.
Unfortunately, our tankless water heaters cannot be used in houseboats or RVs. However, we have specific units available that are certified to be installed in Mobile and Modular Homes. These units include both our Luxury and Value Series units.
Rinnai Tankless Hot Water Heaters cannot be used for heating pools or spas. The chemicals used would damage the components of the water heater.
Rinnai recommends that tankless water heater installation should be performed by a licensed contractor who is trained to handle the plumbing, gas, electrical and venting aspects of a tankless water heater and is aware of all local and national codes. Having a non-licensed professional perform the installation can cause operational and performance issues.
Rinnai Tankless Water Heaters require 120 volts AC, 60 Hz and less than three amps.
No. Rinnai Tankless Gas Water Heaters have a direct-spark electronic ignition.
Yes. Venting of Rinnai Condensing Boilers through a stainless steel chimney liner is approved. Local codes will dictate the ability to use this type of system. Contact your Rinnai dealer for more details if needed.
For the Rinnai Q175 Combi Boiler, there is no minimum domestic hot water activation rate, since the domestic hot water is coming from a storage tank.
For Rinnai E Series models, a flow sensor activates domestic hot water at 0.4 gallons per minute or more.
Yes, but common venting is not yet approved and a custom-sized low loss header may be required for cascading units.
Rinnai's cascade controller can address up to eight Rinnai Heating Boilers. Five controllers will also cascade together for a total of 40 units.
In closed-loop (not domestic hot water) applications, an ASME approved 30-psi pressure relief valve is included with every Rinnai Condensing Boiler. However, since the maximum allowable working pressure of the boiler's heat exchanger is rated by ASME up to 45 psi, the installer can replace the 30-psi PRV to suit the needs of the application.
Rinnai E Series Boilers are limited to 30 psi maximum PRV due to their internal expansion tank.
At this time, it is not recommended to common vent multiple Rinnai Condensing Boilers.
Delta T is defined as the difference between incoming groundwater and a water heater's (in this case, a boiler's) set temperature. Delta T helps determine the flow range of a boiler.
A Rinnai Condensing Boiler will always try (through the pump or the BTU output) to maintain its default and most efficient temperature, which is 36° F. If its Delta T does not stay between 18° F and 45° F, burner operation will temporarily cease and a warning (or error) code will be displayed. Please understand this is only on the boiler side of the operation. The system or secondary loop will likely have a different Delta T based on system design. With a low loss header, the Delta T of the boiler and secondary loop do not have to match.
The size of the expansion tank depends on the size of the overall system. Rinnai E Series Boilers come equipped with an integrated expansion tank in anticipation of smaller overall systems, while Rinnai Q Series Boilers come with a slightly larger expansion tank.
Your Rinnai dealer can help ensure you have the right expansion tank for your system.
Rinnai Condensing high-efficiency Gas Boilers are designed to fire and circulate the pump as needed to help prevent freezing. This does not, however, guarantee the entire heating system is protected, and can depend on the overall system design in your application.
Rinnai Boiler Heating Systems require 120 volts/5 amps of power. Contact your Rinnai dealer with questions regarding your power supply. To find a dealer near you, click here.
Yes. A low loss header—also referred to as a hydraulic separator —is included with every Rinnai Boiler. The low loss header isolates the boiler from the rest of the system to protect the components within the boiler (heat exchanger, pump, etc.) and to optimize overall performance, efficiency and longevity for the Rinnai Boiler.
In most cases, an outdoor reset sensor is recommended for and is included with all Rinnai Condensing Boilers.
Rinnai Condensing Boiler heat exchanger tubing is made of 316 stainless steel—selected for resistance to corrosion.
Your Rinnai dealer can help you evaluate what size Rinnai Home Heating and Water Heating Boiler is right for your space by conducting an industry-standard heat loss calculation. Boiler selection will also be dependent on overall system design, type of heat delivery, etc.

Rinnai Direct Vent Gas Wall Furnaces require 120 volts AC, 60 Hz and 121 watts.
Rinnai recommends that direct vent wall furnace installation should be performed by a licensed contractor who is trained to handle the plumbing, gas, electrical and venting aspects of a direct vent wall furnace and is aware of all local and national codes. Having a non-licensed professional perform the installation can cause operational and performance issues.
No. Rinnai Direct Vent Wall Furnaces are natural gas or propane furnaces that have an electronic ignition.
Rinnai Direct Vent Wall Furnaces are approved for mobile homes and manufactured homes; however, they are not approved for RVs.
Rinnai Direct Vent Wall Furnaces are beige. However, model numbers ES38 and EX22C are also available in white.
Rinnai Direct Vent Wall Furnaces are not UL certified, but are certified by CSA International to ANSI Z21.86 Standard Vented Gas-Fire Space Heating Appliances. However, the following internal electrical components are UL certified:
- a. Transformer (UL QL66-532NA)
- b. Limit Switches (E52529)
- c. Wire & Conduit (UL 1430)

Most Vottomatic Player
Not trying to cop-out but I think it is a wait and see deal. Clearly Josh is the more established player than the two we acquired. I do hold out hope that Edinson Volquez will be either flipped to Baltimore in a deal involving Bedard or be a welcomed addition for years to come with the starting rotation of youngsters- Bailey, Cueto, Volquez, Maloney and our top two of Harang and Arroyo not to mention Belisle. Even at this point the Reds pitching is better in both the starting and relieving departments.
We have an excess of talent in the outfield and a lack on the pitching staff. You have to trade value to get value, and that's what we did. Hamilton may never again produce like he did last season, so I agree with this deal. We got a good young pitcher who will help this team in years to come and a potential middle reliever for down the road. I can't see any real problem other than losing I player I really enjoyed watching.
I like the deal. I can't do the wait and see option. Trades aren't about that. You take the risk, and don't look back. If it fails, you build with what you have.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
As someone stated on another thread, other GMs that WK talked to, beat the non-durable drum on Hamilton. We had placed too high a value on Hamilton---myself included. I think WK made a decent trade, a bona fide prospect for a guy who is a stud granted, but only when he isn't injured. Reds have a lot of potential OF's or convertable IF getting closr to MLB ready. Hamilton was expendible.
As much as I'll miss seeing Hamilton is a Reds uniform I've got to say that the Reds got what they needed out of the deal. As others have said, we have an abundance of outfielders and Volquez, on paper at least, looks very promising. He may provide what the Reds desperately need.
This is just one of the tough choices you've got to make as a GM.
We will have to wait and see what sort of 2008 seasons both players have until we can truly know.
It looks like I am in the minority.........I don't like the trade. My main point is that I believe that Hamilton has the potential to be a future Hall of Fame player. I don't think you can make this determination in one season but he had a pretty good season last year for a rookie. I think the Reds should have given him at least one more year to determine his value. Having said that, I do understand that this is part of the business of baseball.
Well, I chose "wait and see" not because of how the players perform next year, but because it all depends on the direction the team takes. We traded Hamilton, a stud, for a stud pitching **prospect** we needed pitching and had outfielders to trade, but we needed pitching that would improve our staff in 08, we already have Bailey and Cueto to be a shot in the arm of the 09 rotation (which I think Volquez is more of a 09 aide).
I'm not sure that Volquez will improve the stature of the 08 pitching staff all that much... I see him as being "inconsisently good" ... possibly similar to what we saw from Lohse last year???
We ended up trading Hamilton for a pitching 'spect who is not going to provide consistent help to our staff in 08.... still this trade provided pitching depth in our system... which is definitely good, but we still need reliable pitching in 08 - so I'm "waiting to see" if the Reds acquire through trade or FA signing a solid #3/4 type guy to eat innings and fall back on when the young guys struggle... if that happens then I'm totally satisfied w/ the trade.
Our SP staff now is:
1: Harang
3: Arroyo
4: Belisle
Promising young prospects who may be #1's in the future but currently pitch like #5's: Bailey, Cueto, Volquez.
It's not a bad staff, but its a staff that's relying on alotta youth and alotta maybe's ... and it makes me uncomfortable (for 08, though I'm much happier about the future). A 1-year signing like Livan would suit me just fine.... maybe even a injury-rehabber like Prior... but something along those lines is needed, IMO, to help me get pumped for the 08 season.
How in the hell is wait and see an option? You either make the trade in the present time or you don't make it at all, it's not like you could trade Hamilton with a clause that states the reds have a right to undue the trade in september if they wish.
very good trade we used our strength which was extra outfielders to get a weakness which was pitching. For chrimney sakes everybody wants more pitching around here and when we get a pitcher ppl don't like it. We got hamilton for next to nothing anything we get for him is a plus for us. I wish the kid all the luck though he was a favorite when he was here.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Welcome from Fargo, North Dakota (USA). I haven't ever participated in any swaps, but I'm thinking of jumping in soon. Donna
Hi Mary,
Right now I am visiting my daughter and family in North Melbourne. I come to visit every year. I live in southern California near Disneyland. I hope to make it over to NSW to check it out. Welcome to the board. There are other Aussies on this board.
Dreaming of New England while being stuck in So. Calif.(the asphalt jungle of the world.) But hey the Happiest Place on Earth is here.
Hi Mary, welcome from Canberra You'll get plenty more ideas here, be sure to post some pictures, we all love pictures
The biggest risk is the one not taken
Hi Mary B. I am from Perth, Western Australia and am just re-kindling my interest in Quilting. I am just getting back into quilting after a hiatus of quite a few years. I have two grown kids, each with their families. They live too far away for my liking. One on the south coast of WA and the other in Tassie. [so I am just a Nanna on the Phone]
This is my first post on this board - so I will say welcome to you and me!
Welcome to the board.
Alcyone group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18449.html
Electra group: http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums18446.html
Thank you so much everyone for your very warm welcome to the Board. I feel as though I have been on tour in USA, Canada - and Australia.
Sewgarden, I have not visited Maleny myself but my daughter has and I know you can share equal pride with us in your beautiful part of Australia.
Lynley, I guess I can say "Welcome" to you too as we have come in here together. I hope you really get great joy from your second encounter with quilting - it is my passion.
Whereabouts in Canberra are you Woody? When we visit, we usually go in from the north side and so aften I feel the need for a 'comfort stop' at Gold Creek (hee hee). I guess you could say Calico Patch know me well, and so conveniently situated, right next to the comfort rooms.
Barb, if you make it into NSW will you be visiting the Snowy Mountains Hydro area? We are at Talbingo on the northern side and would love to meet you if you are passing through.
Lisa, I am thinking very seriously about joining the Doll Quilt Swap, thank you for the kind invitation. I know I must be very quick as it closes in a day or two.
Donna, I think I am getting ready to jump right in - only need to check to make sure I can honour the commitment. It would be awful to bomb out on my very first swap!
Cheers to all
Mary B
Hi Mary
I am Southside, right down south, couldn't get much further south LOL. Do you ever come for the craft and quilt fair in August? I haven't been to the Calico Patch yet, I don't often get that far north, I might have to make a trip one day.
If you do get a chance to join the doll quilt swaps, they are a lot of fun and a great way of meeting new people. I wish I had more time to do them again, hopefully one day soon.
The biggest risk is the one not taken
Hi Mary, Welcome to the QB from North Carolina . Glad you could join us.
Happiness is a form of travel...not a destination.


text: Well so far I have learned about polygon and nurb modeling, texturing using hypershade, hierarchies and dependencies, polygonal texturing and creating a skeleton for the characters. I'm starting on skinning, blend shapes, inverse kinematics, rigging and animation next. So far it is a lot of fun!!!!!! I love animation and 3D modeling; it has been my dream to do this and now I have the opertunity with my acceptence into the School of Communication Arts! (FYI I havent started school yet) We are moving in case I have to sacrafice my job for school, thats how bad I want this! If I could just get a game studio to pay me $35K a year for an intership life would be great! lol

I have three hives, and recently two of them were attacked and destroyed by larger bees. Has this happened to anyone else? After the attack, I found dead honey bees and larger bees all arounf the entrance to the hives. When I opened the hives, my remaining bees were very passive or lethargic. The attacking bees had ripped the larvae out and appearantly ate them. Pieces of larvae and dead bees were all over the bottom of the hive. I couldn't find the queens. There were lots of my Carnis still on the comb, but moving slowly and not defending the hive as usual. I cleaned all the dead bees out of the hives and closed them up, hoping the remaining workers could make a new queen. Over the next few days, the bees continued to dye off.
Now they are all dead, with lots of bees stuck head first into the comb (I think they were eating what was left of their honey and just died there)
The first picture shows a good comparison of a Carni next to a much larger attacker. The others show all dead bees (mostly attacker bees, and a few carnis) on the landing board. The last one shows the carnage on the bottom of the hive. Can anyone tell me if these are robber bees, or some kind of wasp? They definately don't look like yellowjackets.

After Arsenal's 4-3 defeat to Blackburn on Saturday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of the fans' thoughts.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@pungihw - Arteta, Ramsey and Gervinho played well today. Blackburn were very lucky from two own goals.
@LaurenDemp - Personally I think we should play that 'defensive' style football we played on Tuesday and with Gervinho we have the speed to make it work on the break.
@matthewyes - Chamakh scored and Gervinho played well - positives!
@keval_1993 - Even though Song scored an own goal he played well.
@Tinovcc3 - One positive from Blackburn - we looked like the Arsenal from last year going forward. Good to see good attacking play again.
@5teamVermaelen5 - We're only five points off fourth!
@BatterseaGooner - Positives from yesterday: three goals scored, more direct play and much more fluid attacking.
@ifluckrunsout - On the plus side, attacking-wise we showed promise.
@stephaniet93 - It's an excellent confidence boost for Chamakh. Good for the lad!
@DanDuck1886 - I like Marouane Chamakh, and I think he could score plenty of goals for us if we played to his strengths.

Didn't the 49ers lead the league in turnover differential last season? I guess lots of teams gave you those games.
The 49rs do mot match up well with the Giants
At QB its no contest
RB's equal
Oline- I'll take ours
Playmaykers and WRs- Giants
Special Teams- Giants
D line- we have been playing a 4 man rush....against your QB we can load the box and run blitz
Also, even if the Giants didn't strip the ball out on that last turnover, they would have won. Do you know why I know this? Its due to the fact that the niners could't move the ball at all during the last part of the game. Manning was actually getting first downs. Smith couldn't put anything together.
This time we might clock you from the opening whistle......you are facing a great team just starting to press the peddle to the metal
BTW what were Alex "the game manager" Browns stats for the 2nd half and overtime? Did you know we once held Frank Gore to 9 yds total for a whole game a few years ago

i love the reasoning of sf 9er fans. they seem to think that had williams not fumbled, they would have won, like it was automatic. yet, they fail to realize that had he not fumbled, they'd still have to drive the field and score, seeing as how they hadnt done so the previous like 8 drives, i dont know why they feel that way. we still would have won imo, we were making plays but getting stuck at the 50 the 9ers were just going 3 n out in OT.
and by definition, we TOOK the win, you guys never gave us ****, and if u did, u guys are pretty ****ing moronic to "give" us the game and then cry and complain about it, u didnt want to give us the game, u shoulda took it, as we did. SB champs, WOOOOOOOOOOO!
yes it was, my apologies, but does anyone remember Alex's stats for the 2nd half and OT............was it 1 for 12 or something like that? He makes Sanchez look liker a closer
who said it was a blowout? i certainly didnt. we won the game, no such thing as "barely" won...it was a good game with 2 good teams, one was just the better team and that team went onto win

After months of catching 2013 Honda Accord prototypes, the redesigned midsizer has finally been revealed. The first official 2013 Accord photos show more sophisticated styling that should work in the midsize Honda's favor when the car rolls into showrooms this fall.Judging from the photos, the 2013 Honda Accord sedan appears to have evolved into a slightly more refined piece of machinery. The resculpted hood and revised lower front fascia give the sedan a more muscular look, while the previous model's bulbous rear end has been smoothed out. Pictured is a new 2013 Honda Accord sedan in Touring trim, a top-of-the-line model we've seen on the Odyssey.A car like the 2013 Honda Accord Touring – with the available LED daytime running lights – could compete with higher-price offerings like the 2013 Ford Fusion Titanium and 2013 Kia Optima SX Limited. -WOT article
Old Hyundai Azera anyone?
It looks like the old Azera up front and the Lexus LS from the rear.

This car is so dang bland and it drives me mad that they will sell thousands... They everyday driver is killing the industry I tell ya.
I like it. Our neighbors just bought a 2011 Accord and it is nice. Just as much room inside as our Passat and 3x as many buttons on the dash, haha.I'd get this. The nose looks more like the early 90's Accord to me, sleek. It certainly looks better than the Camry.

not bad, looks better then the old one. but it's kinda suffering from Civicites in that it looks close to the old one.

I can't tell the difference.

It's a safe design, that's for sure. Two or three years ago, all Honda needed to be was safe. With the latest HK offerings and the Fusion all offering a lot more sizzle to the segment, I'm not entirely sure that safe was the right move here. It'll still sell in droves, but it's not going to dominate like it did in the 2000s.
Wait is this an all-new generation or a refresh? The greenhouse looks EXACTLY the same as the current model...

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. - TJX Companies announced that it will consolidate its A.J. Wright division by converting 91 A.J. Wright stores into T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods stores and by closing the remaining 71 stores, A.J. Wright's two distribution centers and its home office. This action is expected to improve the overall profitability of the company, and will allow TJX to focus its managerial and financial resources on its larger, more profitable businesses, all of which have major growth potential, as well as to serve the A.J. Wright customer more efficiently, TJX reported.
In connection with this action, the company said 91 A.J. Wright stores will be converted to T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods banners. As a result, the approximately 3,400 associates in these stores will remain employed by the company, including the interim period of approximately eight weeks when the stores will be closed for conversion.
In total, across the United States, the company estimates that approximately 4,400 positions will be eliminated as a result of the consolidation, almost half of which are part-time positions. These associates will have the opportunity to be compensated at least through the holiday season, and most will remain employed through late January. The staff reductions will impact associates in the 71 A.J. Wright stores permanently closing, the majority of whom are part-time, and the company will make efforts to help place these individuals at nearby T.J. Maxx, Marshalls or HomeGoods stores. The company will also be closing its two A.J. Wright distribution centers, one in South Bend, Indiana, and the other in Fall River, Massachusetts. Finally, this action will impact Associates working in the A.J. Wright Framingham, Massachusetts, headquarters, as well as certain regional offices, although approximately one-quarter of these associates will be offered positions elsewhere within the company.
Carol Meyrowitz, president and CEO of The TJX Companies, stated, "While I believe this move makes us a much stronger company and will benefit TJX in both the near-term and long-term, it was not an easy decision as many positions will be eliminated and it will be difficult for our affected associates. As a company, however, it will allow us to focus our financial and managerial resources on our highest return businesses, all of which have significant growth opportunities, as well as to significantly improve the economic prospects of our business. A critical factor in this decision is that, over the past two years, we have learned how to serve the A.J. Wright customer with our T.J. Maxx and Marshalls banners and have seen very strong performance from these stores in demographic markets similar to those in which we have A.J. Wright stores. We believe these markets represent an incremental growth opportunity for our Marmaxx division, and that this business now has the potential for 2,300 to 2,400 stores, 300 to 400 more than we had previously estimated. While this action will reduce our square footage growth in the near-term, due to the 71 store closures, we expect the square footage growth of our continuing operations to remain in the 5% to 6% range thereafter. In addition, with this growth, we would expect to continue to create thousands of jobs annually on a worldwide basis."

Never Team Up with the Idea Guy
Peer Reviewed by jbadams, CRFaithMusic, Gaiiden
startup project management working with a team
How do you choose the right people for your next projects? In real life situations, you don't get a talent pool that's ready to serve you in your next world-conquering project. Your money is limited, and your time is even more so. Let's talk about who are the most likely candidates of your next startup project:
- Friends. Friends are good. You hang out with them, you have fun with them. Friends also come in many different flavors and skills, some of whom are not particularly useful to your project. There will be a certain percentage of them who could be useful. You are in the tech industry, and naturally, a handful of your friends could also be in the tech industry. Your conversations with them clicks more than the gal/guy you tried to pick up at a bar last weekend. Does that mean that you and your friends can immediately start something big? Unless all of you operate in the same wavelength for at least 6 months, it's difficult to encourage your friends to start a project. Your friends might have different ideas. Your friends might have different opinions. They have different priorities in life.
- Coworkers. You are working with great talented people. It's naturally easy for you to stir something up at the workplace during those lunch and coffee breaks. You talked about how to improve the company's existing broken procedures. The conversations would later evolve into "wouldn't it be great if.." chatters. However, the same situations with friends could apply here with coworkers. Your coworkers must also have the same vision as you. Although it's a bit easier to team up with coworkers because you work in the same industry, sometimes the stress and the amount of work at work can kill your side projects fast. I once had this great conversation with my coworker of creating one game. We both agreed what it should be like (that's rare!), but we never had the time to actually sit down and do it. Our schedules were so far apart. Additionally, depending on the company you work for, the country, and the state/provincial laws, the non-compete clause in your employment agreement can prevent you from achieving your goals. The company wouldn't like if you are making another game that could directly/indirectly compete with their games. And yes, they could actually pursue legal action against you, if you ever break that agreement.
- Family. Family members tend to work in similar fields. Your visions and perspective of life are alike. Family-owned businesses can be successful. The Wachowskis and Coen brothers are among of the several examples where siblings can coordinate and be successful together. But, this also means that they could have the most arguments among each other. They can also plunge into the tar pit far faster than any other teams, thanks to the argument last night about who gets to keep Fluffy the dog.
- Strangers. Don't even try unless you are ready to pay them money.
How to Identify the Idea Guy
Now, let's just say that you have found some team members. How do you know if one of your team members is the Idea Guy? You talked about your game with them. Your ideas converge. You all started working. It has great momentum, but not for long. You notice that one guy in your team is "The Idea Guy", because he has not done anything! He had talked about his great ideas, and how it's going to make your project great. He had spent 70% of the time explaining his ideas, and the other 30% merging other team members' ideas to his own, which means that he spent 0% on the actual project itself. Even though he actually might have some skills, if he never put his time working on the project, then he's not a member of your team.
Remember the 1% inspiration 99% perspiration quote by Edison? It applies here like a cookie cutter. Creating new products requires 99% perspiration, and if one of your team member cannot contribute even 10% of that perspiration, you should not count him/her in. It is not just the ideas that matter, but the execution. If there is no execution, ideas can't become reality.
Your startup project is just as important as any professional project, and must be executed with professionalism.
Real Example of Idea Guys
If you haven't watched "The Social Network", then you should watch it!
Yes, I'm talking about the story of how Facebook came about. Mark Zuckerberg were approached by three Idea Guys! What did they say to Mark? Something along the lines of "Hey, we've got some cool ideas of the next social networking site, and you seem to be a pretty bright guy. Wanna be our programmer?" Mark noticed immediately that these people could not contribute anything to the project. None of them can code. They were just a bunch of ambitious youngsters with no contributable skills other than their words. Teaming up with them would mean that Mark would have had to put up 99% of the work. So, why bother? Might as well move on your own!
By the way, this is happening all the time if you live in the Silicon Valley, USA. The people there are thriving for building the next multi-million dollar startups. Idea guys are running about, trying to recruit bright developers, and some of them have money to offer...
There is an exception to this rule. If the Idea Guy turns out to be the investor, the person with the money to pay the rest of your team, then it's actually okay to work with him. However, you would have no other options but to oblige to his cool ideas. As a matter of fact, this team structure already exists and is happening everywhere in the working world. The CEO, or investors, or somebody higher up, does not have to be part of the active development team, but they might certainly steer the project into any direction they want, and they can.


text: Hi all - Thanks in advance for reading my post and offering any wisdom you can share. I own a 2001 Chevy Tahoe LS w/ 110K Mi Which I bought used at 80K mi How can I identify what OEM shock I have installed? Is it the Premium Ride or Regular ? Upgraded the tires to Michelin LTX MS 18's with premium factory wheels all meant for on road and mostly hi-way driving. It's not 4-wheel drive and seems to drive well. Gotta admit the ride is real smooth but hey it's got a 110k on the odometer and I know the shocks are worn out...so what I think is a premium ride could just be some real worn out soft shocks. They dont bounce like basketballs down the hi-way but they do make a loud thump once in a while. The dealer is selling me on OEM premium ride shocks at $586 each for the rear + new stabilizer links. Grand total $1,277 installed. Keep in mind it's not auto level or anything like that. Any thoughts on how to check out or identify the OEM shock type that is currently on there? Thanks again, 01tahoe - rides again!

Reviews for this host's other properties
the apartment was nice . what was minus was that the drain in the bathroom sink was clogged, drain the same bathroom in the shower was almost clogged. in one bedroom was doorframe broken and loose when we came . Apart from this , we will be happy again .
We were 7 persons staying 5 days in Rome. The apartment was perfect for us, spacious and well equipped. It was very quite with no trafikk noise and the location was perfect, walking distance from many atractions and Bernini metro stadion very close.
Very nice apartment, small but stylish, very well organized and extremely friendly check in person, everything fine!! Very recommendable.
Even Colosseum within walking distance, nice restaurant district round the corner.
Thank you Daniela and staff!
The location of the apartment we thought was good. Adjacent to the big sights (Coloseum etc.), the others are good on foot to reach, yet the apartment is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed the terrace and the view over the rooftops of Rome very. The bar opposite can be good and quick breakfast, also good restaurants it has in close proximity. Especially recommended is the Cafe propaganda.
The apartment corresponds to the tender and it had air conditioning which we were very happy. The check-in and check-out has smoothly functioning as well as the taxi service from and to the airport.
Die Lage der Wohnung empfanden wir als gut. Angrenzend zu den grossen Sehenswürdigkeiten (Coloseum etc.), die anderen sind gut zu Fuss zu erreichen und dennoch liegt die Wohnung in einem ruhigen Quartier. Wir haben die Terasse und die Sicht über die Dächer Roms sehr genossen. An der Bar gegenüber kann man gut und schnell Frühstücken, auch gute Restaurants hat es in nächster Nähe. Speziell zu empfehlen ist das Cafe Propaganda.
Die Wohnung entspricht der Ausschreibung und sie hatte eine Klimaanlage über die wir sehr froh waren. Das Check-In und Check-Out hat reibungslos funktioniert wie auch der Taxiservice vom bzw. zum Flughafen.
Our group of seven family members stayed in this property about two weeks ago. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was very large and easily accommodated our group. It was very clean, and the wine and cake provided on our arrival were most appreciated. The apartment was only a few blocks from the Termini station and so was an easy walk for us. It was also not very far from Rome's major historic attractions. It is ideal for a large group. I would stay here again in a heartbeat if we were travelling in a large group to Rome.
Staying in Rome great ar. The apartment was great, it was clean, well maintained and in wonderful central location, so we were able to experience Rome well from this location. The transport service was impeccable and the correspondence before the trip was very personal, so we felt always very well looked after. Apartment and I can recommend without reservation providers
Der Aufenthalt in Rom ar toll. Die Wohnung war super, sie war sauber, gepflegt und in wunderbar zentraler Lage, so dass wir Rom von diesem Standort aus gut erleben konnten. Der Transportservice war tadellos und die Korrespondenz vor der Reise war sehr persönlich, so dass wir uns stets ausgesprochen gut betreut fühlten. Wohnung und Anbieter kann ich vorbehaltlos empfehlen
What a great stay!! Fine apartment with beautiful roof terrace with plenty of space, however, we feel that the apartment was just small enough to 9 people. We were 6 girlfriends and it was adequate. There was one large sheet for each double bed and if you are not lovers, this is not good; we had wished that there had been one sheet per person. Booking company, hostess and apartment can be recommended, very good contact all the way from order to arrival / departure. Fine agreement with the pick-up taxi to and from the airport. We could stay there again; just 2 minutes from the Spanish Steps. Thank you for the stay and the experience ..
(not recommended for people with walking difficulties, there are many stairs up to the penthouse - however, elevator to the 3rd floor) ...
Apartment quite satisfactory !! Very well located in a very lively area
One can visit Rome on foot !! Everything is within 20 minutes walk!
Very comfortable
We had a service and a first class welcome
Recommended !!!
Appartement tout a fait satisfaisant !! Très bien situé dans un quartier très animé
On peut visiter Rome à pied !! Tout est à moins de 20 minutes de marches !
Très confortable
Nous avons eu un service et un accueille de première classe
A recommandé !!!
Very good location for marches to the most beautiful places, beautiful apartment with testimonies of the old Palazzo Massimo in the room walls (columns and capitals). The noise of the big city stays outside. Serves 2 habitable, also 3, the well-tolerated to be able to rest well after a long sightseeing.
Sehr gute Lage für Fußmärsche zu den schönsten Orten, schöne Wohnung mit Zeugnissen des alten Palazzo Massimo in den Zimmerwänden (Säulen und Kapitelle). Der Lärm der Großstadt bleibt draußen. Für 2 Personen gut bewohnbar, auch 3, die sich gut vertragen, können nach langem Sightseeing gut ausruhen.

if you have a "not perfectly good 7.62x39 ak47" you would like to donate to charity, id be glad to use it
I could never ruin a perfectly good 7.62x39 AK47.
but, its your money, so good luck
if you have a "not perfectly good 7.62x39 ak47" you would like to donate to charity, id be glad to use it
I went into my shop and spend about 15 minutes looking at things.
It may be easier to convert SKS to shoot .44 cal than an AK. AK has a bullet guide and locking lug space. So the cartridge has to jump about an inch before chambering. 1.6 OAL of .44 cal, I am not sure if it can be guide into the chamber before popping out of magazine. You could build guide just like 'Getit's' 7.62x25 conversion. But I am not sure how reliable that would be.
SKS does not have this issue since the bolt lock in the rear. The cartridges can be as close or far from the chamber you want.
Having said that, where can I get a beat up Yugo SKS and how do I remove the barrel from SKS?
i think center fire had sks barreled actions, never looked at removing the barrel on any of mine but ill check
no bolt and stuff though
ive got my mags and plan on making some followers this weekend or maybe next week, ill start looking at feeding asap
now that ithink about it you could get one with a shot out bore the whole gun for not much more
How are you planning to open up the bolt face?
yea that $75 dollar parts kit would be a great loss to recorded history if one of rare umpteen thousand was converted into some thing differant.I could never ruin a perfectly good 7.62x39 AK47.
I assume you do not own a true Full Auto AK 47, never been reassembled from a dimilled real AK that would be worth thousands of dollars
I gurantee you ANY calibure conversion will bring a hell of a lot more $$ than a nicely built Rommy any day if done properly. face it you can buy a new SAR for $250 on sale. I have no problem with the 7.62 x39 round but after you build a bunch it gets boring. pistol rounds like 9mm are cheaper to shoot way cheaper to reload and way easyer to shoot for fun. the high power stuff like 308,243 458 socom 6.5 grendal 6mm ppc and so on all fill a nitch that the 7.62 round can,t. Aside from the WOW factor. I was offerd over $1200 for my 223 varmit build and even if I could sell it (home made reciver can't sell) I would not I am having much fun with it. it started out as a nonmathing numbers $60 rusty kit
Anyone can REASSMBLE A KIT it takes some one with Many skills and imagination and paintence to take a bunch of AK parts and modify it and machine all the nesacrry new parts and modifcations then spend hours getting it to feed perfect. Those who can are not assemblers they are Builders. An AK parts kit (except for the rare pricy stuff) is just a pile of parts to me waiting to become something be it a 7.62x39 or a 458 wizbanger. IMOA 44 Mag AK hell yea!!
Actually you can sell a homemade receiver, it just needs the normal makers info and serial number stamped into it.Originally Posted by 1biggun
Interesting letter to the ATF
Kernelkrink thanks I have seen that before. My concern is with the number of kits and parts laying around that the law would think I am doing it for profit and I would have to prove I am not on my dime. I have been thinking of writting a leter to the ATF stating I have this XXXXXX gun that I built and I need to sell off that have been used by my self personaly, to a strangers and see what they say. I have considerd selling it off as the barrel now has close to 1000 rounds through it and the $$ would help build the milled 22 PPC that I have been wanting to do.

Paul Henderson, star of Team Canada in the 1972 Summit Series, photographed with his history-making jersey this month.
Mike Cassesse, Reuters
• Update: Read below for a news release issued by Goldhar's company
this morning, outlining his plans for the sweater.
And you thought the Canadiens jersey was called the sacred flannel.
It would take the nouveau riche Tomas Plekanec almost 17 games, before taxes, to buy it. Which he didn't. But Paul Henderson's 1972 Summit Series jersey broke every conceivable record for hockey memorabilia last night by selling at auction for $1,067,538 U.S. after frenzied late bidding pushed it up by more than a half-million dollars in the final hours.
The jersey's new owner is Mitchell Goldhar, owner of SmartCentres, a private real-estate development company based in Vaughan, Ont., north of Toronto. Read more on the sale here.
Classic drew 42 bids in all in the month-long auction, and
typical of their sales, the most frantic action took place in
overtime, the winning bid made almost an hour after the scheduled 9 pm
ET close.
A 10-minute rule kept bidding going should someone new
have jumped into the game with less than 10 minutes to go, the auction
until 10 minutes then passed without a new bid. It's unclear how
involved Goldhar was in the bidding before he won the auction, or what his plans might be for the acquisition.
President Marc Juteau, in a 4 am email to me: "…amazing, we're all
stunned in the office, the million-dollar jersey."
Goldhar's news release:
Toronto (June
23, 2010) – Mitchell Goldhar, owner of SmartCentres, today announced
that he
has purchased Paul Henderson's 1972 Team Canada sweater from its
American owner
in a highly competitive auction held last evening.
"I am
pleased and proud to bring this important piece of Canadian history
Goldhar said. "As a lifelong hockey fan I know what Paul Henderson's
goal against the Russians in 1972 means to all Canadians."
wants the sweater to reach all corners of Canada through a national
tour. He
plans to make arrangements for the sweater to be displayed at community
locations such as museums, including the Hockey Hall of Fame, to ensure
as many
Canadians as possible can share in this wonderful memory.
A Canadian
company, SmartCentres has more than 200 shopping centres in communities
big and
small, and operates in every province. SmartCentres is a major
contributor to
SickKids, Bloorview Kids Rehab, CAMH and the Canadian Museum for Human
and many other worthy causes across Canada.
