Ways to Look for Needed Cooling Repair service
You can not take care of something till you understand exactly what's incorrect. That's additionally real when establishing if cooling repair service is required. Making some particular checks read here could assist to identify the issue. Below are some ideas in order to help you:
1. Examine the follower blower belt.
Take a look at if the belt is harmed, and also if there's excessive slack. This could lead to a reduced air circulation. This triggers ice to develop and also decreases the effectiveness of the system's air conditioning capability.
2. Laundry the condenser coil occasionally.
This procedure is less complicated compared to it may appear. Shut off the system. After that utilize a standard yard hose pipe to spray the coil, making use of an "up-and-down movement. Both major reasons for the condenser coil ending up being unclean are exterior locations filled with cottonwood trees, as well as the Air Conditioning condenser being found near a clothes dryer duct.
3. Inspect the filter.

If the system is secured, after that just touch the outside steel and also search for a substantial temperature level variant.
4. Examine the condenser.
The feature of a condenser is to condense vapor right into fluid. This is a critical feature in an air conditioning unit. If the condenser isn't really running, after that examine the integrates as well as breakers. You ought to likewise validate that the thermostat is working effectively. If any one of these things are malfunctioning, after that you'll have to change them on your own, or work with a technician to do the job.

That absolutely uses when it comes to any kind of significant devices, such as a/c. Certainly, having your air conditioning system serviced does not indicate that your device will not call for any type of cooling repair work. Nonetheless, by maintaining your air conditioning system preserved properly-such by maintaining it tidy as a whistle, you could lessen the repair required. Inevitably, you'll conserve time, initiative, as well as cash.

The Gem Has Become A Polished Diamond
"I know I waxed lyrically the last time I played Bosch Hoek Golf Club, and because of this I must admit that prior to our arrival I was a bit concerned that the little gem would not be what it used to be after the extensive upgrade…..
As you well know, I had no reason to be worried, as to use the cliché, "the gem has become a polished diamond!"
In my amateur design opinion the changes to the course are fantastic!! Both Par 5's, as well as the beautiful new Par 3 7th have enhanced the course to the extent where you now have a proper Championship experience with such a great mix and balance of holes. I love the fact that you have left the 2nd hole almost as is and the strong Par 4 finish to both 9's ensures that you need to have your "A" game when you finish the round!
Congratulations, I think you and your team have done an outstanding job – the rest of the experience was as per the last time – great staff, great service and great food in awesome surroundings.
It is honestly one of my favourite golfing experiences in South Africa!
My boys made me laugh as when we arrived we were not sure whether to play 9 or 18 holes, but literally after a few holes, both of them said we are definitely playing 18! Then when we were leaving they said it has to become a family tradition to play Bosch Hoek Golf Club each time we pass it….I think that says it all!
Thank you once again and we will be back (often) that much I can assure you!!"

Etiquette On Greens & In Bunkers
One of the most frustrating things for green keepers everywhere is to deal with the damage caused to the surface of a green by golf pitch marks. Well, actually, it isn't the damage that's frustrating. The damage is inevitable. What's frustrating is when golfers are far too lazy to repair those golf pitch marks resulting in damage to the greens and impacting on the smoothness of the putting surface. This is not rocket science, but good golf etiquette.

A New Iron Maiden!!! BIG Congratulations to Valerie Hedlund!!!!
She did it!!! Pressed, pistoled and did the pull up with the 24Kg kettlebell. I got the first two, but the pull up bested me at the RKC Level 2 this past July. According to all the internet video I saw, she not only did all three, but made them look easy. Needless to say we want to interview her on GiryaGirl.com ASAP. HELLO can you say INSPIRING?!?!?!?! This makes Valerie Hedlund the third woman ever to complete the challenge - and considering that only RKCs take on this challenge, do the math - this is massively tough!!!! So take a moment to congratulate her all the hard work it takes to develop this level of real world strength. Seriously impressed over here... I know how hard it is first hand!

Tub box
I am in the middle of a bathroom remodel that required that a shower be converted to a bathtub/shower. I have already moved the old shower's horizontal branch, run a new vent pipe,and raised and leveled the concrete floor. Since the drain piping is underneath a slab foundation, I left a dap out so that I can later attach the tub's trap. The dap out that I left with the my home made wood box was a little too big (by the way, Oatey tub box was too shallow, horizonatal branch was down too deep in ground) , so now I want to close some of that in. My question is the following: I was thinking about building another tub box with pressure treated wood and simply just leaving it in the dirt and filling in around it with sand and concrete. Or, attach the trap and vertical leg, leave the depressioin necesary to connect the tub's tailpiece, and fill in around it with sand concrete. What would you guys recommend?
It don't matter how deep the pipe is, it don't matter how shallow the tub box is, so as long as you can keep the concrete from that area, when ready remove the box, dig it out the pipe, set trap to desired position, set tub and make up the connection.

Kate and Dave's Wedding
"Within the first few moments of chatting with Polly, we knew we wanted she and her flowers to be part of our wedding. She was easy to work with and incredibly professional all the way through. When our wedding day came each bouquet and arrangement she crafted for us surpassed our expectations! Even now, over a week after the wedding, we are enjoying several beautiful arrangements we managed to bring home with us - the flowers are still vibrant! Thank you Polly!!!"
Alexandra and Patrick's Wedding
"Polly was amazing! She was a blast to meet with and my mom, Nana and I all took to her right away. She was happy to look through the dozens of pictures I had to help narrow down a style and feel for the bouquets. She never once tried to force something that wasn't me (I dislike roses and a variety of other traditional 'love' flowers). On the day of the wedding the multiple (there were 8 in the bridal party plus moms/nana) bouquets were delivered early and smelled amazing (thanks to rose geranium - I told Polly I love a subtle smell and she nailed a perfect one). There were even small peppers to add a dash of vibrant yellow and orange - so perfect for me as I LOVE all things hot and spicy! For our centerpieces, my husband and I named each table after a hole at the Master's Golf Tournament (each hole at the Master's is named after a plant, shrub or tree). Polly incorporated that flora/fauna into a basic consistent centerpiece (that alternated high and low by table) and it was super cool. It fit our theme, it fit us as a couple and was something that really set our reception apart. Polly was incredible (if you haven't seen the farm, it is worth a go), and she couldn't have delivered something more perfect for an amazing day. Without any reservations I give her 5 stars! THANK YOU POLLY! ~ Lex & Patrick 10/16/10 at Blithewold Mansion"

95 Taurus electrical fire
38 Attachment(s)
95 Taurus and the battery was dead. I got a new battery and started to put it in. First thing I should have noticed as wrong was sparking at the negative terminal when I connected it. Before I even tightened the termnal, smoke, then flames in the wiring up by the firewall, between the shock tower (passenger side) and fire wall.
Very exciting! After oh shhhht I jerked off the negative cable and the flames were gone. A wire in the harness was burned completely through.
Anybody have any insights on the cause of this dead short? Key was not in the ignition, just replacing a dead battery. Thanks.
Was it a large wire or a small wire?
And was the wire a do-it-yourself add-on wire without a fuse?
38 Attachment(s)
Small wire, part of the wiring harness that runs back there. Should have been protected by a fuse. Smoke, flames, o shhhht!! Whoa!
Oh, and I am, well, positive that the positive cable was connected to the + terminal and the negative cable was connected to the - terminal on the battery.

(Continued: Page 2 of 2)
The stereo, in particular, lacks modern options. It has an in-dash six-disc changer that can play MP3 and WMA CDs, satellite radio, and an auxiliary jack. The touch-screen LCD offers a good interface for MP3 CDs, letting you browse through a folder list. The Prius also gets a somewhat decent audio system, with six JBL speakers in a typical configuration of tweeters in the A pillars and woofers in the doors. The sound quality of this system is about average, with little oomph to bass or highs and a somewhat muddy mid-range.
Under the hood
The Toyota Prius' reason for being is fuel economy, and it handles that job very well, especially considering its very usable interior space; the car is able to haul around a typical family. Its EPA mileage numbers are 48 mpg city and 45 mpg highway. During our time with the car, we ended up just shy of 45 mpg, but that was due to some atypical driving. To achieve mid-40s mileage, an impressive feat compared to other cars of this size, the Prius makes due with a 1.5-liter four cylinder engine using Toyota's intelligent variable-valve timing, with power fed to the wheels through a special gearset.
The gas engine puts out a miserly 76 horsepower and 82 pound-feet of torque, but that gets complemented by the 67 horsepower electric motor that delivers torque of 295 pound-feet between 0 and 1,200rpm. The combined total horsepower of this system calculates out to 110.
And, as you would expect with that horsepower, the Prius is not fast. From a performance stand-point, the Prius is entirely uninteresting to drive. We wouldn't normally run a car like this over a twisty mountain road, but during our review period, poor time-planning had us late for an appointment. We were forced to drive the Prius hard over a winding road through a couple of mountain ranges in Northern California. We built up what speed we could on the straights, then bore down on the brakes before the corners. The handling is such that if the wheels are anything but straight when you apply heavy brakes, the car will do unpleasant things. The Prius also feels top heavy, even though it's not a particularly tall car, so we had to baby it through these turns.
Putting the power on in the turns didn't produce much effect, as there isn't much power to be had, especially when you've brought the speed down to 20 mph for a tight hairpin. The transmission doesn't help in these matters, either, as the infinite-ratio gearset doesn't have any virtual shift points to hold. The Prius was far from its natural element on this road.
The Prius really belongs on city streets and creeping along through freeway traffic jams. The engine is eager to turn off, letting the car move under electric power, and the power transitions happen almost seamlessly. The engine is so unobtrusive, in fact, that it's hard to tell when it comes on. During our electric driving test, we only knew the engine had come on because the power flow animation showed it. And it's that animation that can make the car enjoyable to drive. It's fascinating to see when the engine shuts down and how power flows to the wheels and the battery. You can use the animation to modulate your driving habits, increasing fuel efficiency.
With the Prius' high mileage also come very clean emissions. The Prius qualifies as an Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emission Vehicle--the best rating short of Zero Emission Vehicle.
In sum
The base 2008 Toyota Prius goes for a paltry $22,325, but options brought up the total price for our vehicle substantially. The number six premium package made up the bulk of our options, bringing in niceties such as navigation, Bluetooth, JBL stereo system, a back-up camera, high-intensity headlights, and leather trimmed seats, for $6,550. A few other non-tech options and a $660 destination charge brought the total for our car up to $29,899. If you prefer a more conventional ride, but still want hybrid goodness, both the Nissan Altima Hybrid and the Toyota Camry Hybrid can be had for a little more money.
The Prius earns a very high score for its outstanding performance. We can overlook the mediocre handling when a five seater gets a solid 45 mpg. But the score suffers from the Prius' old cabin tech. We are impressed at the full array of gadgets, but the features just aren't up with more recent cars. Fortunately, the Prius gets a major update next year. We also give the Prius a high mark for design, as the hatchback is practical and the exterior shows an iconic uniqueness.

[Atheists] need to buck up, assert our rationality, and change the way we deal with the religious, with everyday affronts delivered (at times unknowingly) by believers, with the casual presumptions that historically have tended to favor the faithful and grant them unmerited respect. A lot is at stake. Religion is a serious matter, reaching far beyond the pale of individual conscience and sometimes translating into violence, sexism, sexual harassment and assault, and sundry legal attempts to restrict a woman's right to abortion or outlaw it altogether, to say nothing of terrorism and war. Now is the time to act.

Vouchers subsidize incompetent schools
With "National School Choice Week" upon us, it is a fitting time to take a look at Wisconsin's failed voucher program. The abrupt closure of LifeSkills Academy, a Christian school in Milwaukee, is merely a symptom of a larger problem. Wisconsin's voucher system is broken and cannot be repaired.
At its core, the voucher system is a backdoor means to fund religious schools with taxpayer money instead of public schools. The expansion of vouchers statewide highlights this fact. All of the new schools, 25 out of 25, are Christian schools.
Notably, the one Islamic school and two Jewish schools that applied for state approval were not able to garner as many applicants as the 18 Catholic schools and seven other Christian schools now receiving taxpayer money. Only parents in the religious majority were able to send their children to a denominational "choice" school.
This flawed program violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and its equivalent in the Wisconsin Constitution: Article 1, Section 18.
While the legality and feasibility of statewide vouchers have not been tested, the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program has been tested. It is the long-est running voucher program in the country. What have we learned? Wisconsin taxpayers are paying millions of dollars to dozens of incompetent religious schools that do not provide a comprehensive education.
Milwaukee's LifeSkills Academy, which received $2.3 million in state voucher money since 2008, shut down suddenly in mid-December. A priest in charge of the building that was rented by the school said that the school's operators moved out "in the dead of the night." Families of students were left scrambling to find a new school.
LifeSkills students had struggled with basic reading and math, with only one of the 56 students testing proficient in either subject on 2012 state exams. Despite their poor operation of the Milwaukee school, Taron and Rodney Monroe opened LifeSkills Academy II in Florida last year and bragged about their ability to get government grants for religious schools.
LifeSkills Academy is merely one of many inept Milwaukee voucher schools. Department of Public Instruction testing data published last year showed that Milwaukee Public School students outperform voucher students in reading and math. Looking past the averages, the data reveals that entire voucher schools lack basic skills.
Carter's Christian Academy and Daughters of the Father Christian Academy are two Milwaukee schools that rely almost entirely on taxpayer funding. Daughters of the Father promotes itself as "specializing in reading and math." Of the 92 students tested in 2012 at Daughters of the Father, only one tested proficient in reading and two tested proficient in math.
At Carter's Christian Academy, none of the 85 students tested proficient in reading and only one tested proficient in math. Between the two schools, 81% are classified as having "minimal" skills in reading and 75% have minimal math skills.
It is understandable that students attending these schools are struggling, given the fundamentalist curriculum that is being taught in what are generally considered secular subjects. Information available on each school's website makes it clear that they both utilize curriculum provided by A Beka Books, a publisher of fundamentalist Christian textbooks. A Beka has promoted its materials by saying that textbook writers "do not paraphrase progressive education textbooks and add biblical principles" but instead "create textbooks from a biblical worldview, built upon the firm foundation of Scriptural truth."
A profile of the 2011-12 curriculum on the Daughters of the Father website includes revisionist history lessons from A Beka Books, creationism instruction in science classes and health class instruction for seventh and eighth graders on "sins such as adultery, fornication and homosexuality."
It matters what is taught in taxpayer-funded schools. No parental "choice" on where to send a child for school should mean that all taxpayers pick up the tab for fundamentally flawed schooling by educators who are incompetent. It is expected that the Milwaukee voucher program will cost $161 million this school year alone.
With vouchers, there are no assurances that educators are answerable to the citizens who ultimately write the checks. They are not governed by publicly elected school boards that have to answer to constituents. There are virtually no protections to ensure that students are receiving a sound education.
Voucher supporters will be unable to offer reforms that guarantee another LifeSkills Academy debacle will not happen again. Moving students around in the middle of a school year like they are chess pieces is absolutely disruptive to student learning and will continue under a voucher system.
Any additional accountability measures for voucher schools that are put into place cannot fix a fundamentally broken program.

Feds appeal FFRF's parish exemption win
The federal government filed notice Jan. 24 that it's appealing the Freedom From Religion Foundation's significant federal court victory declaring the "parish exemption" unconstitutional. Under the 1954 law, "ministers of the gospel" don't pay any taxes on salary designated as a "housing allowance."
U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb for the Western District of Wisconsin issued a strong, 43-page decision on Nov. 22 declaring 26 U.S. C. § 107(2) unconstitutional. The case is FFRF, Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker v. Jacob Lew, Acting Secretary of the Treasury Department and Daniel Werfel, Acting Commissioner of the International Revenue Service.
The appeal will go before the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in Chicago.
The law allows "ministers of the gospel" who are paid through a housing allowance to exclude that allowance from taxable income. Ministers may even use untaxed income to buy a home and deduct interest paid on the mortgage and property taxes — known as "double dipping."
The clergy benefit costs the government up to $700 million a year in lost revenue, and benefits not just ministers but their employer churches, which can pay ministers less because untaxed income goes further.
Christianity Today found that 84 percent of senior pastors receive a housing allowance ranging from $20,000 to $38,000 in added (but not reported or taxed) salary.
"I agree with plaintiffs that §107(2) does not have a secular purpose or effect," wrote Crabb, adding that a reasonable observer would view it "as an endorsement of religion."
At the time of the federal ruling, attorney Richard L. Bolton, representing FFRF, noted: "The Court's decision does not evince hostility to religion — nor should it even seem controversial." However, the decision set off "shock waves" in the clergy network.
Clergy are permitted to use the housing allowance not just for rent or mortgages, but for a wide range of home improvements, including maintenance and repairs. They may exempt from taxable income up to the fair market rental value of their home, particularly benefiting well-heeled pastors.
The 1954 bill's sponsor, Rep. Peter Mack, argued ministers should be rewarded for "carrying on such a courageous fight" against a "godless and anti-religious world movement."
All taxpayers are burdened by taxes, Crabb noted. "Defendants do not identify any reason why a requirement on ministers to pay taxes on a housing allowance is more burdensome for them than for the many millions of others who must pay taxes on income used for housing expenses."
Gaylor and Barker, as co-presidents of FFRF, are the primary plaintiffs. Crabb agreed they have standing to sue and are injured because FFRF designates part of their salaries as a "housing allowance," but they are not lawfully able to claim the same benefit "ministers of the gospel" are accorded.
"The clergy and churches have become accustomed to privileges and prerogatives from our secular government which are not only unconstitutional, but which don't play fair. The rest of us should not have to pay more taxes, because clergy don't pay their fair share," said Gaylor.
Barker, a former minister, now heads the volunteer Clergy Project, which helps clergy who have changed their minds about religion leave the pulpit. Barker said he knows hundreds of former ministers who agree with FFRF that "the housing exclusion is an unfair and unwarranted boost from the government and should be abolished."
FFRF, other advocates file brief against Hobby Lobby
The Freedom From Religion Foundation, working with noted state-church attorney Marci A. Hamilton and groups advocating for the rights of victims of religious abuse filed an amicus brief Jan. 27, before the U.S. Supreme Court. The brief opposes Hobby Lobby's claim that for-profit corporations have a right to deny contraceptive coverage to women workers based on religious objections.
The Hobby Lobby chain of stores argues that it is "a person" under the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and that the federal government's contraceptive insurance mandate imposes a "substantial burden."
Hamilton successfully argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in City of Borne v. Flores (1997) that RFRA was unconstitutional as applied to state and local governments.
In the amicus brief, Hamilton argues that the unconstitutionality of the federal RFRA "has been lost in the intense public debate between claimed religious liberty for for-profit corporations and women's reproductive health."
FFRF's brief is also signed by Bishop
Accountability.org, Children's Healthcare Is a Legal Duty (CHILD), the Child Protection Project, the Foundation to Abolish Child Sex Abuse, Survivors for Justice and the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP).
FFRF's interest in the case arises from its position that "the radical redefinition of 'religious freedom' to include a right to impose one's religious beliefs on others is arguably the greatest threat to individual freedom of conscience."
FFRF notes that its original founders, Anne Nicol Gaylor and Annie Laurie Gaylor, formed FFRF "partly in response to unwarranted governmental and religious intrusion into a woman's reproductive health decisions."
Hobby Lobby was founded by David Green, who has a religious objection to some forms of prescription contraception, and essentially maintains his corporation has a soul and rights of conscience that trump the rights of conscience of his employees.
Green runs a chain of more than 500 craft stores and is challenging the contraceptive mandate of the Affordable Care Act. The law requires health care plans to provide coverage for certain "preventive care" at no additional charge, including immunizations, diabetes screening, AIDS screening and contraception.
"RFRA is being invoked in this case as a license for employers to influence their female employees' contraception choices," FFRF contends in the amicus brief.
The amici also assert: "If Hobby Lobby can deploy RFRA to block coverage of women's reproductive health, the next believer will argue against vaccinations, and the next against screenings for children or domestic violence screening and counseling. There is no limit to the variety of religious believers in the United States, and good reason to know that the vulnerable will pay the price."
Hamilton writes: "RFRA lets religious citizens rewrite any federal law they don't like, to their benefit."
Oral arguments will be heard March 25. The 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby that corporations have the same (or stronger) religious rights as individuals.
However, the 3rd Circuit ruled against a similar challenge by another business that "for-profit, secular corporations cannot engage in religious exercise" and that a business owner's religious rights do not allow that owner to impose his religion on his business's employees."
Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp., East Earl, Pa., is appealing that ruling, which will also be heard March 25.
RFRA is being "permitted to foment culture wars," Hamilton writes, which violates the separation of powers, Article V and the Establishment Clause of the Constitution.
Hamilton holds the Paul R. Verkuil Chair in Public Law at Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and is the author of God vs. the Gavel: Religion and the Rule of Law.
"We find ourselves in the novel position, for once, of siding with the federal government, in this case Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of Health and Human Services," commented FFRF Co-President Annie Laurie Gaylor. "Dogma must not be permitted to trump civil liberties in our secular republic."

Blasphemy laws violate the First Amendment. They promote religion, specifically Christianity, over nonreligion in violation of the Establishment Clause. They prohibit speech in violation of the Free Speech Clause. They violate the guarantees of religious free exercise and free press. In general, blasphemy laws assault the First Amendment's protection of the freedom of conscience.
FFRF to Walker: Delete religious tweet
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is on the receiving end of a letter of complaint from the Freedom From Religion Foundation in Madison for a religious tweet on his official Facebook and Twitter accounts.
On Sunday, March 16, either Walker or someone empowered to posted the following: "Philippians 4:13" (see screen shots), a bible verse which says, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."
FFRF, a state-church watchdog with 20,000 members nationwide and about 1,300 in Wisconsin, reminded Walker in a March 18 letter that it's "improper for a state employee, much less for the chief executive officer of the state, to use the machinery of the state of Wisconsin to promote personal religious views."
Co-Presidents Annie Laurie Gaylor and Dan Barker, in FFRF's letter, said Walker's tweet "seems more like a threat, or the utterance of a theocratic dictator, than of a duly elected civil servant."
The letter cites court cases that prohibit government officials from endorsing religion over nonreligion. If a department head or ordinary employee were to use state resources to promote personal beliefs, they would most certainly be admonished.
The question is will Walker be able to get away with it? If so, what might he post next, maybe something from Acts 10 (in which a sheet descends from above, with a voice saying, "Rise, Peter; kill, and eat")? More sustenance and strength for the religious and exclusion for non-Christians.
The letter concludes, "On behalf of our membership, we ask you to immediately delete this religious message from your official gubernatorial Facebook and Twitter. May we hear from you at your earliest convenience?"
Ask governor to veto ten commandments bill now
On Wednesday, March 12, the Georgia Senate passed H.B. 702, a bill designed to place a Ten Commandments monument within the state capitol building or on its grounds. The bill previously passed the Georgia House. In addition to the Ten Commandments, the proposed granite monument will also contain the preamble to the Georgia Constitution (which states in part that the people of Georgia rely "upon the protection and guidance of Almighty God") and the "part of the Declaration of Independence which states that 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.'"
Note: the monument will not include the entirely secular preamble to the U.S. Constitution, as described in the bill's summary on first reading and as reported incorrectly by numerous news sources. The original version of the bill did call for inclusion of the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, but that was swapped for the portion of the Declaration of Independence that refers to "a Creator." Yet the sponsor of the bill, Rep. Greg Morris (R-Vidalia), denied, with a straight face, any religious intent behind his proposed monument.
If enacted into law, this bill would be a clear and egregious violation of the separation between state and church. In reaction to the passage of H.B. 702, Erwin Chemerinsky, First Amendment legal scholar and distinguished attorney in the landmark Supreme Court decision Van Orden v. Perry, noted, "the Supreme Court has . . . made clear that putting up new Ten Commandments monuments, when the purpose is so clearly to advance religion, violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment."
The Georgia legislature needs to stop wasting time imagining new, creative ways to memorialize the Christian god and get back to work!
Please take a moment to contact the governor to voice your opposition to H.B. 702.
Why the EACH Act is bad for your health
You'd be hard-pressed to find many people who like to pay more taxes. That's what makes the "individual mandate" of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) so effective. The individual mandate requires anyone who doesn't maintain minimum essential health insurance to pay an additional fee when they file their taxes. The idea behind this tax is that people who opt out of buying health insurance place a burden on the healthcare system, since they aren't paying into it, but still risk getting sick or injured. In other words, those without health insurance increase the cost of health insurance for everyone else and the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is meant to offset that cost.
While the individual mandate has already been upheld by the Supreme Court as a legitimate exercise of Congress's taxing power, that hasn't stopped religious fringe groups like Christian Scientists from trying to weasel out of paying their share of healthcare costs. On Tuesday, March 11, the House of Representatives passed the "Equitable Access to Care and Health Act" or the "EACH Act" (H.R. 1814), which unnecessarily creates an additional religious exemption to the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate. And by "additional religious exemption" I mean an exemption in addition to the two religious exemptions that already exist.
That's right, Congress already exempted certain religious groups and individuals from having to pay taxes for not maintaining health insurance. It created a religious conscience exemption to the individual mandate that applies to anyone who is "a member of a recognized religious sect or division thereof" if that sect "make[s] provision for their dependent members which [are] reasonable in view of their general level of living," and has been in existence since 1951. While this first religious conscience exemption is limited in scope (and may only apply to the Old Order Amish), the Affordable Care Act also included a second exemption for anyone participating in a "health care sharing ministry."
Health care sharing ministries are religious organizations designed to provide groups of like-minded Christians with a way to pool resources to pay for each other's medical expenses. They are not health insurers, which means that 1) they are horribly under-regulated, 2) often members are under no legal obligation to pay any money into the ministry, and 3) there is no guarantee the ministry will pay for a member's medical expenses. Presumably any Christian with a religious objection to buying insurance, or to receiving medical care, could join one of these ministries to avoid paying the individual mandate without taking on any additional obligations.
Instead of relying on either of the existing religious exemptions to the Affordable Care Act, the EACH Act adds yet another way for religious individuals to avoid paying their fair share into the healthcare system. By allowing certain religious individuals to opt out of maintaining minimum essential health insurance, the EACH Act will interfere with one of the fundamental purposes of the Affordable Care Act: to lower insurance premiums by maximizing the number of participants in the health insurance market. Taxpayers who do not claim this new religious exemption will pay higher health insurance premiums due to uninsured religious freeriders burdening the market.
The EACH Act would specifically allow religious individuals to game the system by swearing that they hold sincerely held religious beliefs against receiving healthcare. They would then be allowed to opt out of paying health insurance, possibly for many years, but nothing prevents them from subsequently receiving care when they do get sick or injured. Preventing sick/injured people from receiving care is out of the question, despite the potentially catastrophic costs for those in the health insurance marketplace. The only practical solution is to deny special treatment to religious objectors in the first place.
The EACH Act is also bad policy because it interferes with other major purposes behind the individual mandate, including protecting the financial security of U.S. families by guarding against the threat that unexpected medical expenses will force them into bankruptcy. While insured families are protected by their policies' out of pocket maximums, the same is not true of those who opt out of health insurance for religious reasons. The Affordable Care Act is also designed, first and foremost, to protect the health of U.S. families by ensuring that they have affordable access to healthcare when they need it. While adult Christian Scientists may be free to claim a religious objection to receiving care, the state still has a duty to ensure the health and safety of minors growing up in religious households. The EACH Act is an abrogation of that duty.
The EACH Act passed the House without ever being vetted in committee, which means that its potential impact on the health insurance marketplace, family financial security, and family health have not been considered. The Senate has now received the bill. Contact your state's senators now with your concerns over religious people receiving special exemptions from paying generally applicable taxes.
You can read Sam's full note Religious Exemptions to the PPACA's Health Insurance Mandate, published in the American Journal of Law and Medicine in 2011.

Apple iPads have been doing a brisk trade on eBay in the few days since the device launched in the US.
The iPad is not due for launch in Australia and many other countries until "late April", but that hasn't stopped people outside the US from buying them on online auction sites.
Figures provided by eBay Australia reveal that, globally, almost 1500 iPads have been sold on eBay until April 7. For the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, that breaks down to 793, 278 and 353 units sold respectively.
The average prices for the three models were $US604, $US700 and $US739. At retail, the 16GB, 32GB and 64GB WiFi models sell for $US499, $US599 and $US699, respectively.
"This happens with nearly any hot product," said Carl Howe, an analyst at Boston-based Yankee Group.
"Some people buy up copies and try to sell them on eBay to make a profit. There were iPhones going for $US2000 when they first came out."
Crowds formed in front of Apple stores last weekend as consumers lined up for a tablet computer that lets people read digital books, browse the web and watch movies. Apple said it sold 300,000 units the first day.
Market research firm iSuppli took the iPad apart and this week estimated that the gadget cost $US259.60 to make, or about half the retail price. But this figure does not take into account marketing, development and other costs.
The online auction mark-ups are steep but represent better value than travelling to the US to buy one at the launch. That, however, didn't stop Anthony Agius, the founder of the Australian Apple fan website MacTalk.com.au, from travelling to New York and bringing home a haul of 19 iPads for him and his friends.
"We aimed for 24 iPads, but was only able to get 19 – which is still impressive considering Apple were limiting sales to 2 per person," Agius wrote on MacTalk.
Agius and his friend Peter Wells were followed around Manhattan by a crew producing a documentary about happiness, and the trip went without a hitch save for the fact that Agius lost his wallet in a cab.
Thankfully, his friends on Twitter were more than happy to lend him the money he needed to complete his iPad haul and return home in one piece.
Agius said there seemed to be a lot of people who travelled to New York from overseas to buy an iPad ("the people in front of us were from Russia and those behind us from Spain").
"We didn't expect this massive media scrum as we left, as we were one of the first people out, with iPads," said Agius.
"Immediately we had microphones and cameras shoved in our faces, journalists actually arguing with each other as to who was first to talk to us. It was exactly like the media that assault a politician as they exit Parliament. It was embarrassing. All we did was buy a goddamn piece of glass, plastic and metal."
Graham Clarke, the head of Australian app developer Glasshouse Apps, also made the trek to New York, as did Sydney journalist Dan Warne, who unluckily got to the front of the line only to find that he could not pay for his iPad as NAB's computer systems were down.

An Investment Opinion
by Alex Schay
Sotheby's Dot Com?
Tony auction house Sotheby's Holdings (NYSE: BID) gained $3 3/4 to $35 7/8 this morning after announcing its intention to launch an Internet auction business, "sothebys.com." The 254-year-old company stated that it expects to invest "in excess of $25 million in the initial development phase" of the project, which is really the groundwork for a long-term strategy -- in Sotheby's words, "as the image technology develops." Despite the "announcement" this morning, the firm's Internet strategy has been in the works ever since the summer of 1998 when it staged a "net-only" book auction that resulted in an epiphany of sorts for the company -- 40% of the buyers had never been affiliated with the house prior to that auction. Arguably, much of the Internet news was already priced into the stock before today, but what does that matter? Sotheby's is now officially an Internet stock, with all the market potential that comes with the designation.
Even before considerations regarding the market potential of the online auction, Sotheby's was an attractive company -- as outlined by Dale Wettlaufer near the beginning of last year. Return on all capital employed for the first nine months of 1998 was in the mid-teens, return on invested capital was 16%, and return on equity was almost 20%. Perhaps the most successful online art auction business currently, in terms of revenue, has been London-based icollector.com, where users can peruse 400 catalogues a month produced by roughly 150 international auction houses. The first sale conducted last November went on for 15 days with lots ranging from $80 to $34,000 -- and icollector.com pulling down 5% of the purchase price from the dealers. Similarly, Sotheby's plans to bring outside dealers onboard for its online effort.
While Sotheby's reports that it is "committed to delivering to our Internet auctions the same experience and expertise that have characterized our live auctions," the statement itself highlights the differences between high volume, commodity goods and Sotheby's high-ticket, hard to ship offerings -- which often need to be "seen" to be bought. Of course, with the eventual ramp up in image technology and access speeds, online auctions will become a normal part of Sotheby's business. However, even though 80% of the company's sales are derived from items priced under $5,000, there are questions about whether or not the Sotheby's experience translates to the online medium today.
Despite a bulging cost structure, thanks to investments in its headquarters expansion, recent increases in global staffing and facilities -- including Paris, in anticipation of the opening of the French auction market -- as well as the Internet strategy, Sotheby's should do well in 1999. While buyers are paying a premium to the company's 14% compound average growth rate in revenue (12% CAGR based on estimated earnings for the next five years), the firm's spread on its cost of capital, its unparalleled brand, and the market share payoff from some of its current investments should put it in good stead.

(Nasdaq: ATHM) plans to buy the company in a stock deal worth $6.7 billion. @Home, for its part, slipped $1 3/4 to $100 1/4. For a closer look at what this deal could mean, head back to today's Breakfast With the Fool.

Wireless communications company AirTouch Communications (NYSE: ATI) flew ahead $9 5/8 to $93 after agreeing to be acquired by Vodafone Group (NYSE: VOD) of Britain for $97 per share in stock and cash, based on Friday's close. That's a 14.6% premium to AirTouch's last closing price of $83 3/8. The combined company, to be called Vodafone AirTouch PLC, will be the world's largest wireless phone company, serving more than 23 million proportionate cellular and PCS customers. Vodafone added $9 9/16 to $185 9/16 this morning.
Bell Atlantic (NYSE: BEL), one of the losers in a short-lived bidding war for AirTouch, rose $4 7/8 to $58 this morning on reports that Merrill Lynch re-initiated coverage of the company with a near-term "accumulate" rating and a long-term "buy" mark. MCI WorldCom (Nasdaq: WCOM), which also expressed interest in AirTouch at one point, advanced $1 13/16 to $76 7/8.

International long-distance carrier IDT Corp. (Nasdaq: IDTC), a recent hero, moved ahead $1 19/32 to $11 1/2 after its Net2Phone division said it will launch an Internet Web shopping site powered by Internet telephony, integrating voice, graphics, and eventually video and push technology.

Artificial heart company World Heart (Nasdaq: WHRTF) pumped up $1 1/2 to $14 following Monday's announcement that it expects to report full-year 1998 losses of $0.30 per share, broader than the $0.26 consensus loss estimate two analysts gave First Call but well ahead of last year's $0.93 loss. The company expects the first human implant of its energy and information transfer system this year, subject to Canadian approval.
Computer network consultant IBS Interactive (Nasdaq: IBSX) jumped $1/2 to $15 1/4 as the company announced an agreement with New York University and Notovitz Design to create an Internet-based application to replace NYU's DOS-based purchasing requisition system.
Dental practice management firm CompDent Corp. (Nasdaq: CPDN) improved $2 3/4 to $13 7/16 after it amended a July merger agreement with a private investment group, lowering the per share buyout price to $15 from $18, still a 28% premium to Friday's closing price. CompDent also said a provision in the pact forbidding the company to evaluate alternative offers was eliminated, although its board still supports the current offer.

Online auctioneer Onsale Inc. (Nasdaq: ONSL) dropped $6 11/16 to $51 3/4 after pre-announcing a Q4 loss of $0.15 to $0.17 per share, which is in line with the loss of $0.14 to $0.17 per share forecasted by the 11 analysts surveyed by Zacks. However, revenues in the period are expected to show only a "slight" sequential gain to $59 million. Wheat First Union, BT Alex. Brown, and NationsBanc Montgomery Securities lowered their ratings on the company this morning.
Shareholders of visual effects and editing software firm Discreet Logic (Nasdaq: DSLGF) made a not-so-quiet exit from the stock this morning, sending the firm's shares $5 11/16 lower to $14 on a warning that slumping sales in Europe and Asia and the lack of a senior sales and marketing executive will lead to fiscal Q2 results ranging between a loss of $0.01 per share to a gain of $0.01 per share. That will be less than the $0.05 per share earned in Q1. The company also said the exchange ratio for its pending merger with Autodesk (Nasdaq: ADSK) has been adjusted, leaving Discreet shareholders with 0.33 of an Autodesk share for each Discreet share instead of the original 0.48 of a share.
Supply chain software maker Manugistics (Nasdaq: MANU) was rattled for a $4 11/16 loss to $10 11/16 after saying it will lay off 400 people, or 30% of its workforce, as part of a plan to streamline its operations and focus on its core business. The reorganization will result in a fiscal Q4 charge of about $60 million.
Computer-aided design and manufacturing software company Parametric Technology (Nasdaq: PMTC) sank $1 13/16 to $14 3/4 after reporting fiscal Q1 EPS of $0.16 (excluding charges), a penny higher than a year ago but $0.03 short of the First Call mean estimate. Revenues came in at $250.1 million in the quarter, or 3% lower than last year's $258.9 million. The company said it continues to remain "cautious" about its prospects in the first half of fiscal 1999, but it is more optimistic about the second half of the year.
Real time financial market data provider Data Broadcasting Corp. (Nasdaq: DBCC) fell $3 7/8 to $17 7/8 despite reporting that the number of subscribers for its online data services has increased by 50% since September of last year, leading to 7.5% sequential revenue growth in fiscal Q2 (ended Dec. 31) to $24.2 million. Meanwhile, recent initial public offering MarketWatch.com (Nasdaq: MKTW), which is 38% owned by DBC, lost $3 3/8 to $94 1/8.

Drug developer Warner-Lambert (NYSE: WLA) lost $3 3/8 to $66 7/16 after the FDA said on Friday that an advisory panel will review post-marketing safety data for the company's Rezulin type 2 diabetes drug at a meeting in March.

Salomon Smith Barney downgraded the stock this morning to "outperform" from "buy."
Measurement, color printing, and video and networking firm Tektronix Inc. (NYSE: TEK) was knocked down $2 3/16 to $27 11/16 following a downgrade from Goldman Sachs to "market perform" from "market outperform."
Copper mining firm and magnet wire maker Phelps Dodge Corp. (NYSE: PD) was shafted for a $3 loss to $48 11/16, reportedly on concern that the company will have to decrease its quarterly dividend in the future or take some other form of action if copper prices remain near their current 12-year lows in the coming quarters. Both Goldman Sachs and Sanford C. Bernstein lowered their ratings on the company today.
Wabash and Fruehauf truck trailers maker Wabash National Corp. (NYSE: WNC) jackknifed for a $4 15/16 loss to $15 after saying it will miss the First Call mean earnings estimate of $0.40 per share for Q4. The company blamed the shortfall on a $2.8 million loss contingency for a federal excise tax on restored trailers, the delayed recognition of an expected $1.8 million in revenues until future quarters, and a $4.9 million provision to adjust inventory levels in the first three quarters of 1998. BT Alex. Brown lowered its rating to "market perform" from "buy."
Earnings Movers

T.S. Eliot voted Britain's favorite poet in BBC poll
LONDON (Reuters) - T.S. Eliot has been voted Britain's favorite poet in an online BBC poll to mark National Poetry Day, the broadcaster said on Thursday.
The U.S.-born writer, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1948, narrowly beat John Donne, who in turn was closely followed by Benjamin Zephaniah.
Eliot was one of the 20th century's most important poets who captured the post-war sense of loss in "The Waste Land" and on the eve of World War Two he produced "Old Possum's Book Of Practical Cats," the inspiration for the musical "Cats."
Born in 1888, Eliot studied at Harvard and went on to teach at Oxford. England became his home for the rest of his life, and in London he met poet Ezra Pound who, with Eliot, had a prominent role in the Modernist movement.
Also on Tuesday, Scottish poet Don Paterson won the 10,000-pound Forward Poetry Prize for his anthology "Rain."
The top 10 poets in the BBC poll were:
1. T.S. Eliot
2. John Donne
3. Benjamin Zephaniah Continued...

•if you drop one tube from the whole rack, it will be the one that contained your most important sample.
•if you've forgotten your key to the lab, it will be the one day that everyone else is off.
•if you have just reorganized the -80°C freezer, there will be a power outage that weekend.
•if you misspell one word in the final, ready-for-publication manuscript, it will be your name.

have you ever tried this awesome dish at al forno called stinco di agnello brasato or braised lamb shank? if not then you should - every time we eat at al forno i go for something light, but this time, i went for the kill and it was worth it! the dish is unbelievably good, a tender meat with an awesome sauce.
i made some research on the shanks and what i found was quite interesting - shanks are the lower part of the leg and the most used muscle on the animal which makes them the toughest - they are not a good candidate for grilling or sauteing, but perfect for the slow-cooking involved in braising - the tough connective tissue dissolves slowly, mixes with the braising liquids and creates a wonderful, luxurious sauce with no effort on the part of the cook.
so what made this dish so delicious is basically the slow cooking, not sure what was the substitute of wine in this, but it tasted like heaven and i'm making this my dish of choice at al forno.

The long arm of the federal law knows no boundaries within the confines of the United States as a former deputy of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department recently found out.
Arman Nshanian, 38, of Corona, Calif., was sentenced July 7 by U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to three years and six months in federal prison without parole for his role in an $11 million mortgage fraud scheme that included property in Lee's Summit.
The court also ordered Nshanian to pay $785,926 in restitution.
According to the office of Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, Nshanian was convicted last December at trial of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud related to fax transmissions and emails that were sent across state lines during the mortgage application process.
During the trial, Nshanian committed perjury when he testified in his own defense. As a result of Nshanian's false testimony, the court ruled that he obstructed justice, which warranted an enhanced sentence.
Co-defendant James Arthur Nash, Jr., 44, also of Corona and also formerly a sheriff's deputy, was also convicted at trial of his role in the criminal conspiracy. Nash also was found guilty of four counts of wire fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 12.
Nshanian and Nash are among nine defendants who participated in a mortgage fraud scheme from early 2005 through Aug. 4, 2006. Mortgage lenders made loans of approximately $11,092,886 on 16 residential properties in Lee's Summit, Liberty, Blue Springs, Parkville, Independence and Oak Grove. From that total, unbeknownst to the lenders, buyers received approximately $2,006,845 in secret illegal kickbacks from the loan proceeds. The scheme resulted in a financial loss to mortgage lenders of nearly $5 million.
Seven co-defendants have pleaded guilty and been sentenced.
The scheme involved buying and selling homes at inflated prices, obtaining mortgage loans at the inflated prices, then kicking back $100,000 of the excess loan proceeds to each of the home buyers without the lenders' knowledge. The scheme financially benefited all of the conspirators, federal prosecutors said.

I believe the urologist was more apt to hazard me on disquiet pills indefinitely than give me weeks benefit of antibiotics. I can't retain what the dosage was, but I recall intriguing them during 3 weeks to a month. The side effects do start to grasp up with you (disorientation/depression), but my symptoms had cleared up dulcet superbly when I stopped. I commemorate my symptoms improving after a scattering days and then drop by drop one more time a occasional weeks.

"I was watching in the visions of the night, and behold!
With the clouds of the heavens like a son of man was one arriving;
And to the Ancient of Days He came, and before Him they brought Him near.
And to Him was given sovereignty, and honor, and kingdom;
And all peoples, tribes, and tongues were serving Him.
His sovereignty is an eternal sovereignty which will not pass away,
And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed."
Again the high priest was questioning Him and says to Him, "Are you the 'Anointed', the Son of the Blessed?" And Jesus said, "I am, and you will see 'the son of man sitting on the right hand' of the Power and 'coming with the clouds of heaven'!"
-Mark 14:61b-62
