Chapter 33
Judah and Israel will be gathered—The Branch of Righteousness (the Messiah) is promised—The Seed of David (the Messiah) will reign forever.
1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Thus saith the Lord the maker thereof, the Lord that formed it, to establish it; the Lord is his name;
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and
4 For thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by the sword;
5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to
8 And I will
9 ¶And it shall be to me a name of joy, a
10 Thus saith the Lord; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say shall be desolate without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise the Lord of hosts: for the Lord is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith the Lord.
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to
13 In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that
14 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will
15 ¶In those days, and at that time, will I cause the
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our righteousness.
17 ¶For thus saith the Lord; David shall never
18 Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to kindle meat offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 ¶And the word of the Lord came unto Jeremiah, saying,
20 Thus saith the Lord; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, and that there should not be day and
21 Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Moreover the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the Lord hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Thus saith the Lord; If my covenant be not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
26 Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

NGOs and Health
Evolving concepts about health and the articulation of its links to poverty, equity and development have recently widened the range of WHO's partners. No longer the domain of medical specialists, health work now involves politicians, economists, lawyers, communicators, social scientists and ordinary people everywhere. The involvement of civil society has profoundly affected not only the concepts underpinning public health but the formulation and implentation of public health programmes and policies as well. Nongovernmental organizations and other civil society actors have engaged with WHO to implement health programmes at country level, made outreach to remote areas and populations possible, advocated public health issues to a broad audience, addressed sensitive issues and worked in alliance with WHO to raise funds more effectively.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Fantastic weights, paint does chip after beating them off rocks for a few hours, but that is to be expected. The paint does hold up much better when it is abused less, but they work just the same whether or not they are painted.
From: Brendan: MO 8/17/16
Comments: good weights but the paint chipped easily just from hopping a t-rig through some rocks. go for the vike worm or flipping weights, they're bulletproof.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: Absolutely love these weights! I have won three in a row Texas rigging these cypress trees here in Texas. They peg perfectly and the paint holds up to the occasional over pitch. Great product!
From: James: TX
Comments: I talked to the manufacturer of these weights at iCast and was glad to hear of this. These weights come from the same molds, go through the same polishing process and the same Duraseal coating as Tru-Tungsten. If you didnt like Tru-Tungsten then don't buy these. If you did like Tru Tungsten then buy these weights. Its really that simple.
From: Terry: FL
Comments: got some of these weights because of the low price, WHAT A MISTAKE !!!!
From: Scott: Jackson, NC
Comments: Elite Tungsten weights are by far the best weights I have ever used. Punching grass is my favorite technique. The durability of the paint is unmatched by any others! After hours of use punching grass along rock jetties, the weight still looks brand new. Also, the Elite Tungsten slides through the grass with much more ease then any of the other brands I have used. I am completely sold on Elite Tungsten and I will not buy another brand.
From: Brent
Comments: I started using Elite Tungsten a couple of months ago and have stopped using anything else. Tremendous product! Very durable finish, wide selection of sizes and colors and a great staff....Highly recommended!
From: Steven
Comments: Since the tungsten craze started I have used several manufactures of tungsten weights. I strongly believe that tungsten weights improve my fishing so I have searched for the best. Well I found it. These are by far the best weights on the market. you can hit these with a hammer and not chip paint. I've had the same weight on my punching rod for months now and have yet to see any sings of wear.

Skip to comments.Bush Proposed Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac Supervision In Sept 2003
Posted on 09/17/2008 10:01:15 PM PDT by tallyhoe
A September 11, 2003 New York Times article shows that President Bush proposed the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago. His proposal: An agency within the Treasury Department to supervise mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Fearing that mortgages would no longer be available to people who were unable to pay them back, Democrats eventually killed the proposal. The current meltdown in the mortgage industry is a direct result of giving mortgages to people who could not pay them back, a practice protected by Congressional Democrats.
(Excerpt) Read more at query.nytimes.com ...
Somebody needs to go after Franklin Raines' ass and get our 90 million bucks back.
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Barack ACORN Obama....
We need a mob with torches and pitchforks to decend on D.C.
They have flat out robbed us.
Wow. That one should be posted far and wide. (I don't like Bush, but if he did that, he deserves credit.)
Yup! An now Raines is going to be able to do it again if Obammie is elected by the Obamanoids.
Did I read that right?
Sadly, the entire congress is complicit in the destruction of my retirement nestegg, and, rhetoric aside, I don't see any masked men on white stallions on the horizon. Lots of good talk though.
Fearing that mortgages would no longer be available to people who were unable to pay them back, Democrats eventually killed the proposal.

worth repeating over and over..

no collateral, no tickie.. no tickie no laundry..
who's been taking who to the cleaners for years?
we know who always get blamed for it, regardless solid facts in evidence to the otherwise.
The Party of Incompetence is always at the bottom of every major screw up.
check out this article Dated Sept 11, 2008. http://www.bucksright.com/bush-proposed-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-supervision-in-2003-1141
They have flat out robbed us.
No doubt about it -— and it is not over yet. Radical government (mainly DemoRAT) corruption and malfeasance have brought this upon us. Bush tried to regulate/control FM and FM...and the DEMORATs stopped the effort....now look what we have. Now the scumbags that were hustling the institutions, are now "financial advisors" to Oba-Mao. Get the picture???
Paging Ms Pelosi.
By whom to whom? The evidence is rock solid that this is a democrat debacle through and through, but the fear of losing an election, rather than saving a country, pervades the Republican cowards who infest the halls of government. So, the leftist demagogues win another round in the destruction of the most egalitarian econmomy the world has ever known.
You might discern that I have lost a substantial amount of retirement income in the last couple of days.
In June 2008 Wall Street Journal reported that Franklin Raines was one of several politicians who received below market rates loans at Countrywide Financial because the corporation considered the officeholders "FOA's"—"Friends of Angelo" (Countrywide Chief Executive Angelo Mozilo). He received loans for over $3 million while CEO of Fannie Mae. [5] Franklin Raines is currently one of Barack Obama's chief economic advisers.
Maybe McCain can just read the article for his opening statement at the first debate.
We are getting a taste of how the Romans felt as their realm disintegrated before their very eyes as well.
I hear ya on the retirement income thing.
It's no consolation but hopefully a lot of folks are going to be asking Why and How?
I wonder how many AARP members will re-think their allegiance to a leftist run party that could care less how much they also lose?
Unreal. I hope the GOP is working on some ads right now.
Don't forget Jamie "The Wall" Gorelick.
That piece of human vermin lied about
the safety of financial instruments ..
and left with a $26 million package.
"Jamie Gorelick (Clinton dep AG) = $26 MILLION
Even though she had no previous training nor experience in finance, Gorelick was appointed Vice Chairman of FNMA from 1997 to 2003. She served alongside former Clinton Administration official Franklin Raines, and earned over 26 million during her six years there.
During that period, FNMA developed a $10 billion accounting scandal. One example of falsified financial transactions that helped the company meet earnings targets for 1998, a manipulation that triggered multimillion-dollar bonuses for top executives.
Gorelick received $779,625. On March 25, 2002, Business Week interviewed Gorelick about the health of Fanny Mae. Gorelick is quoted as saying,
We believe we are managed safely. We are very pleased that Moodys gave us an A-minus in the area of bank financial strength without a reference to the government in any way. Fannie Mae is among the handful of top-quality institutions.
One year later, Government Regulators accused Fannie Mae of improper accounting to the tune of $9 billion in unrecorded losses.
I wanna see her in an orange jumpsuit so
bad, I can visualize the whole scene.
I despise this piece of dirt.
Johnson has long been one of Washington's most prominent leaders, holding leadership positions in business, the arts, and politics.
Johnson began his career as a faculty member at Princeton University, later moving on to the United States Senate as a staff member and to the Dayton-Hudson Corporation (now Target Corp.) as director of public affairs. He was executive assistant to Vice President Walter Mondale during the entire Carter Administration (1977-1981). Later, he founded and headed Public Strategies, a private consulting firm, from 1981 to 1985 before leaving for Lehman Brothers.
From 1991 to 1998, he served as chairman and chief executive officer of the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), the quasi-public organization that guarantees mortgages for millions of American homeowners. Previously, he was vice chairman of Fannie Mae (1990-1991) and a managing director with Lehman Brothers (1985-1990). On May 22, 2008, Democratic Party officials confidentially divulged that Obama had asked Johnson "to lead the process" for selecting Obama's running mate.[1] On June 4, 2008, Obama announced the formation of a three person committee to vet vice presidential candidates, including Johnson.[2] However, Johnson soon became a source of controversy when it was reported that he had received loans directly from Angelo Mozilo, the CEO of Countrywide Financial, a company implicated in the U.S. subprime mortgage lending crisis.[3] Although he was not accused of any wrongdoing and was initially defended by Obama on the grounds that he was simply an unpaid volunteer, Johnson announced he would step down from the vice-presidential vetting position on June 11, 2008 in order to avoid being a distraction to Obama's campaign.
If ?
President Bush also urged lazy Louisiana authorities to order an evacuation long before Katrina hit. You don't hear much about that, either.
why does the headline read "obama" proposed ....instead of Bush proposed?...more hijinks?
The whole concept of giving loans to people who can't afford them was a huge push towards socialism, ushered in by Carter and built upon by people like Clinton. The Dem Congress covered up for this one while it was failing, and now they want even more control of the government. Their only way to fix this mess and others on the horizon will be to go all the way... to socialism. That would not be good at all.
Fannie and Freddie were a problem long before Bush took office.
The damage Gorelick did to this country is going to take a long time to repair. She needs to be in jail.
I'm glad to see that they did try to sound the alarm. But now is the time to pound this with FACTS and NAMES. I don't care how nasty and partisan they might sound. I'd rather go down in flames kicking and screaming from the rooftops, if that happens, than be "nice guys" and try to "get along".
But in a depressed state, I have lots of fantasies about what I would like to do to those criminals who are destroying our government and economy -- read D in 1993, 1999, 2003, 2005, etc.
I'm with you. I've had it with spineless Republicans.
Dumbass. The WSJ saw all this coming back in 98.
Because the New Media, libtards and FReeper trolls never give President Bush credit for anything.
While democrat finger prints are all over this, right into the Obama campaign. The GOP should be firing with both barrels at the dems on this, but they seem to be stuck on criticizing Wall Street instead....
Good find!
The McCain campaign reads Freerepublic they will probably be all over this tomorrow!
He put Fannie Maes [former] CEO, who helped create this problem in charge, of finding his vice president. Thats not change thats whats broken in Washington, said McCain.
Carl Rove was on Hannity and Colmes tonight slamming these guys and naming names! He said Bush went to congress about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. But guys like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd killed the measure! Some Liberal Republicans were with the Dems.
That's the way it will be unless the GOP fights back. Bush just sat there and let himself be blamed for Katrina. If McCain just blames this meltdown on generic "Wall Street" types without identifying the culprits, including Gorlick, Schumer, Dodd, Frank, and Obama's crony Franklin Raines (the Ken Lay of Fannie Mae), then the very people who caused the crisis will benefit politically from it.
I never saw you before this post.
And I already I've formed a very
bad opinion of you.
If there's anything I can't stand
it's a FReeper with BDS.
Sad. We might've been FRiends.
Please don't respond back to me.
Thanks for the info. I was at grandson's birthday party. Glad someone is naming names.
Selling their souls and our solvency for Fannie/Freddie cash.
Shout it loud from the rooftops: Obama's pal Franklin Raines is THE KEN LAY OF FANNIE MAE!
You're pathetic. You don't want a dialogue. You're little post to the Admin is the sort of whining I'd expectr from a RAT.
This must get out .. please ping your lists. Thank you .. ;)

The are trying to get rid of Harvin because he is not the best team player.
The Pats refused to sign Welker. I'd be very surprised if they signed a more explosive, but similar player in Cruz.
Entire Team Let Eli down today - NYG4l
Like I said. JR is confident in his ability to pluck quality WRs out of draft or undrafted guys that will fill the role nicely so we all know he has a set number for Cruz and Nicks and will not go above it. If other teams offer more he will not match it. He will let them walk. I'm sure they will try and resolve the Cruz issue prior to the draft and if not expect him to take a WR or two with some of our picks
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013-2015 were 3 losing season's, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, Denver
4-New York Giants!!! & NE
Let's make it 5 in 2016 so we can be on a LINE all by ourselves again!!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
If some how Cruz winds up on the Pats it will be a sound business move to help the Pats and not stick it to the Giants
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
If there not going to pay Welker why would they pay for Cruz?
I just heard on NFL AM that the only WR the Patriots have locked up right now is safety/WR/gunner Matthew Slater. I'm almost going to guarantee that Percy Harvin will be a Patriot next season and replace Wes Welker.
"You killed my family, and I don't like that kind of thing."

Billabong is known far and wide as a surfer culture brand which promotes the beach lifestyle: whether that beach is in Australia, California or Hawaii. In this recent video, the brand exerts itself into other areas of recreation: set in New York City, this is a bustling metropolis where there is likely more sidewalk surfing on any given day. The video series takes us on a 36-hour adventure in which a guy and girl experience "Damn Good" everything in their Billabong jeans. The trailer gives you a taste of their Billabong Jeans campaign, showcasing their medium wash and distressed jeans for young people with an active lifestyle. You really have to watch each video for the story to make sense. The verdict: we were impressed their jeans weren't created as a mere afterthought collection.
You can find moderately-priced jeans in resin-baked, enzyme-washed and raw denim for men range from $49.50 to $149.50. Go to Billabong online to view more Billabong Jeans styles.

Love the design
"My foot are wide, so they felt kind of snug, but I'm sure they will stretch time to time. I normally wear 7 or 7.5, and I ordered 7.5 but they felt a little bit short- not to the point I cannot wear them or I feel pain, though.I love the design, but I wonder what will happen if the shoelace snap???

TOM: Coast to coast and floorboards to shingles, this is The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show. I'm Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I'm Leslie Segrete.
TOM: Call us right now with your home improvement project. We want to hear about your do-it-yourself dilemma. The number is 1-888-MONEY-PIT and the advice is worth more than the cost of the call, which kind of sets a low standard for ourselves but why not, you know?
LESLIE: Which is nothing.
Hey, coming up this hour, we've got a new survey out. It shows homeowners are more savvy than ever when it comes to designing their remodel. Find out why lifestyles turned out to be the most important factor in determining the final outcome of a room's new design.
LESLIE: And also ahead this hour, the number one topic of questioning that we get from all of you here at The Money Pit is flooring. So we are going to share step-by-step information on how to refinish a wood floor, which really is a great project that can totally transform a room. In fact, Tom Silva from This Old House will be by with a few ideas from his decades of experience as the show's general contractor.
TOM: Plus, apartment dwellers, this one is for you: we're going to have tips on how you can make easy changes to your kitchen that you can actually take with you when you leave.
LESLIE: And if installing a beautiful, new front door is on your to-do list, this hour we are giving away a $50 Lowe's gift certificate courtesy of our friends over at Therma-Tru Doors, which you can then use towards the purchase of an energy-efficient, fiberglass door in their Benchmark line. And that's available exclusively at Lowe's.
TOM: So give us a call right now with your home improvement project, your do-it-yourself dilemma. The number is 1-888-MONEY-PIT, 888-666-3974. Let's get right to those phones.
Leslie, who's first?
LESLIE: Larry in Colorado, you've got The Money Pit. How can we help you today?
LARRY: Yes. I have a built-in oven – a KitchenAid that – I live at 9,000-foot altitude up in Divide, Colorado. And we have a problem every time we use the automatic cleaning. It blows a fuse. They've replaced the fuse several times, they've replaced the oven once and they've kind of finally decided that there's no help for us.
TOM: Now, is the fuse inside the oven or is it inside the breaker panel?
LARRY: It's the – in the oven.
TOM: It's the oven; it's the fuse in the oven. OK. So, keep in mind that fuses are doing their job and the job of the fuse is to stop the wiring from overheating and catching fire. And that's the same whether it's the appliance fuse or it's the fuse in your circuit-breaker panel.
If in fact it's continually blowing, then I suspect that there's a problem with the appliance itself and the fuse is doing what you want it to do, which is stopping the oven from catching on fire. We've often reported that if your oven is going to break down, it's going to be associated with the running of the self-cleaning cycle, because it does put the oven through an incredible amount of stress. In fact, just this weekend, I heard of yet another story – real-life story – about an oven that broke during the self-cleaning cycle right before a big dinner party was planned.
LESLIE: Oh, no.
TOM: So, I suspect that the problem is with the appliance and if you've not been able to find the solution or repair it, then it might just – might be time to replace it.
I will give you one idea: there is a website called RepairClinic.com run by a bunch of smart people that do nothing but fix appliances. Might want to spend a little time on there and see if they ever discovered this issue and have a solution for it. But short of doing a little bit of repair that way, I'd probably just replace it.
LARRY: Alrighty. I have one quick question. Actually, one of the repair – I mean the techs that I was talking to who said he didn't think it could be repaired – suggested a kind of oven gel. You guys have any thoughts about that?
TOM: No. Is he just talking about an alternative to self-cleaning?
LARRY: Yes.
TOM: Well, there's lots of products out there. I don't have a particular one that's a favorite but by all means, if you're not going to run the cycle, you certainly could use an over-the-counter, oven-cleaning product. That's the way so many of us cleaned ovens for years and years and years before that technology was ever in existence.
LARRY: Great. I appreciate it.
TOM: Alright. Good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Janet in Maryland is on the line with an insulation question. Tell us what's going on.
JANET: Yes. My house was built in the 50s. It's stucco with cinder-block walls. And when I had the sheetrock replaced, there really was no insulation, so I don't know if it can be blown in. I was told nothing could be done. There's some little – it's a one-and-a-half-story bungalow. There's some loose insulation in the eaves in the attic and I really don't see anything on the exterior walls.
TOM: OK. So, with a house, you want to make sure that you insulate in the right order and the order would be the attic first. Now, you mentioned it does have some insulation.
LESLIE: Put the hat on your head.
TOM: Yeah, that's right. Put the hat on the head.
TOM: You want to make sure – you said it has some insulation. How many inches of insulation do you think you have in the attic right now, Janet?
JANET: Probably like two or three; it doesn't look like a whole lot.
TOM: Oh, my God. That's nothing.
JANET: It's real loose.
TOM: OK. Do you know how much you're going to – you really need?
JANET: No.
TOM: You need 19 to 22 inches of insulation.
TOM: So you should forget totally about these walls; your problem is overhead.
TOM: You need to get as much insulation in that attic as you possibly can. A foot-and-a-half is what we're looking for and up. And when you do that, you're going to see an amazing reduction in your energy bills; amazing. Because you have next to nothing right now. You're like sleeping outside with a sheet on, you know?
JANET: Oh, geez. OK. OK.
TOM: You need heavy blankets, honey, to make this work for you.
JANET: Do I buy the roll? The pink roll?
TOM: Yes, absolutely. The pink roll; the Owens Corning. You could buy the rolls or buy the loose batts and you want to put – first you fill in between the floor joists.
LESLIE: And you want to get unfaced.
TOM: Yep, unfaced insulation. You fill in between the floor joists. Then you put a second layer on top of that, perpendicular to the floor joists, until you build up enough insulation.
TOM: And you're going to find an amazing change in how warm and comfy your house gets as a result of that.
JANET: OK, great. Great.
TOM: Alright, Janet. Good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
This is a very typical question that we got on the show, Leslie. Folks don't know where to put those energy dollars first. And you've got, like in her case, almost zero insulation in the attic. You should just forget about the outside walls; that's not your problem. Your problem is the attic.
LESLIE: Right. It really is. You put a hat on your head, it keeps the warmth in your body. So it's the same for your home. You really need to think about working from the top down. And I think people forget that over time, there's so much settling that you do either need to replace or add so that you meet that R-value.
TOM: Absolutely. So, hopefully we got Janet straightened out.

LESLIE: That's right. Pick up the phone and give us a call. We would love to give you a hand with what you are working on.
And in fact, if you've got a remodel or you're just simply redecorating, well, long gone are the days of homeowners putting in new finishes and appliances in their home and then calling it a successful remodel, done deal.
Now, a new consumer poll from the National Association of The Remodeling Industry or NARI, as we like to call them, finds that today's homeowners are more design-savvy than ever and they remodel their homes to suit their needs.
Now, more and more homeowners want their design to cater perfectly to their lifestyle. For example, a kitchen that can also serve as a family room. It's where you all end up anyway.
TOM: And it's important to think through all those possibilities. In fact, many remodelers today now actually put their clients through special exercises to get them to think about how they actually use those rooms in their home.
Now, the economy may also have weighted on the survey findings as Americans are spending money in a much more practical way. So if you are considering a remodel, it's worthwhile to take a week or so to observe and really think about your family's living patterns.
You want to think about the paths that you take, the counters where people set stuff down – which, in my house, is every horizontal surface – because, frankly, all that stuff will play into your remodeling-design decisions.
LESLIE: Everywhere.
TOM: 888-666-3974. If you're planning a remodel or any other home improvement in your home, give us a call right now because we would love to help you get started. The number, again, is 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Steven in Texas, you've got The Money Pit. How can we help you today?
STEVEN: We are buying an Earthship. I don't know if you all know what that is but it's going to be in Taos, New Mexico. And we wanted to build a secure, concrete dome that was – act as our living room and dining room area. I couldn't think of a way to pour concrete in a dome shape and we wanted to have it to be a green roof, so it needs to be load-bearing, as well.
TOM: Interesting question.
STEVEN: If you ever saw Lord of the Rings, you know the hobbit homes? They were just like hills?
LESLIE: Yes.
TOM: Yeah.
STEVEN: Yeah but that's kind of the look we're going for. So, I wasn't sure of a good way to have a load-bearing, concrete dome; a good way to build that. We looked into ICF blocks but we couldn't find any that were curved.
TOM: Yeah. I don't think ICF is the way to go. ICF, of course, stands for insulated concrete form and they're an excellent product for exterior walls but I don't think they're designed to curve. I mean typically, you build a form that's in the shape of that dome first. Then, of course, you have to have a reinforcing rod laced throughout that form and then the concrete is poured right around that, usually in layers.
Steven, can I ask why are you so interested in the dome shape?
STEVEN: It's going to be a bed-and-breakfast when it's all said and done and we just want it to be really eye-catching from the outside.
TOM: Well, you know there's …
STEVEN: In the lobby, (inaudible at 0:12:09) really beautiful and have really geometrical shapes and we just thought it'd be really pretty.
TOM: Yeah, it certainly will be. It's just going to be a bit of a challenge and you'd better find a darn good mason to work with on this because it's going to be a high-skill and high-expense part of the project. But it sounds very exciting. We'd love to see it when it's all done.
STEVEN: Alright. Well, I appreciate it. Thank you very much.
TOM: You're very welcome, Steven. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Laura in South Carolina is having a caulking issue in the bathtub. What's going on?
LAURA: We have had to re-caulk the bathtub, in the last six months, probably two or three times.
TOM: Wow.
LAURA: Every time we do it, we scrape the old caulking off, we re-caulk it and then let it dry for a couple of days. And then after like a couple weeks, it starts crumbling and cracking and now it just disintegrates.
TOM: First of all, what kind of caulk are you using?
LAURA: I believe it's a latex and I don't know if that's the problem?
TOM: OK. Well, it's a couple of things. First of all, let me give you the step-by-step way to caulk a bathtub and have it stick. You have to remove the old caulk and if you have a lot of old caulk, I would use a product called a caulk softener. It's kind of like a paint stripper but it's for caulk and it makes it soft and pliable, so you can really get rid of all the old stuff and do a really good job cleaning it out.
Then I would take a bleach-and-water solution, spray down that joint, clean it really well and make sure we're stripping any mold away that's in there. After you get it totally ready to go, then fill your bathtub up with water. You want to fill it up to the top with the stopper on so it's weighted down. This sort of pulls the tub down a bit by putting that weight on it.
Then you can caulk it. I would use an acrylic latex with Microban in it, which is a mold inhibitor – DAP makes it; a kitchen and bath caulk – or use a silicone caulk. And then, of course, let it dry really well and then let the water out of the tub. And when you do that, the tub kind of comes back and when you get in it to take a bath or a shower, you push it down again and it doesn't have the same stress on the caulk joint. And it tends to stay in a lot longer that way.
So those are the steps that'll get it in there and hopefully have it stay for a while.
LAURA: Oh, how long should I let it dry?
TOM: Oh, just a day. That's all.
LAURA: A day. OK.
TOM: Yeah, that's it.
LESLIE: OK, wonderful. Great. That's a good idea. OK, thank you.
TOM: Alright. You're welcome. Good luck with that project, Laura. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Bonnie in Texas is dealing with a kind of finicky garage-door opener. What's going on?
BONNIE: Well, it sounds crazy but in the mornings when it's real cold, I can open it from the inside. The garage door will open and close but outside, in my car, the remote – when I put the remote up there when it's real cold, it won't open.
TOM: So when the remote is inside the house, it works, but when it's outside the house, it doesn't?
BONNIE: No, no, darling. When I – the little button out in the garage that's on the wall will open it no matter what.
TOM: Right. OK.
BONNIE: But my remote inside my car will not open and close it when it's real cold.
TOM: OK. Is this a battery-powered remote in your car?
BONNIE: Yes, it is.
TOM: Well, have you changed the batteries? Because it …
BONNIE: Yes, we have.
TOM: Yeah and the fact that it works from the button is not really relevant because that's a hardwire connection. Your problem is with the remote itself. So if the remote is not working well in cold weather, the remote may need to be replaced. If you've replaced the batteries and it's still happening, I think the next choice is to replace the remote. And you can probably get another one from the same manufacturer for not a lot of money.
BONNIE: I certainly will.
TOM: Alright, Bonnie. Good luck with that project. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Russ in Illinois has a question about flooring. How can we help you with the project?
RUSS: Yeah, we have about a 20x30-foot family room over a crawlspace and we are thinking about putting down a floating hardwood floor, snap-together type. And we're wanting to heat the floor with an in-floor heating system like water tubing or something like that but we're wondering what the most efficient way is; what the best way is to go about doing that.
TOM: OK. Mm-hmm. Well, you have a couple of options. You can use electric radiant which – you know, all of these are available in sort of the modular systems where you can connect different panels together and run them, so you don't necessarily need professional installation on everything. But the radiant heat that's electric, it's probably the more expensive one to run but the least expensive to buy.
If you wanted to do something that was with, say, a hot-water system, then you could do that. With a hot-water system, you can either install the hydronic pipes underneath the floor or above the floor, sort of in channels where it's like plywood that's sort of carved out to take the PEX – which is cross-linked polyethylene piping – and then you put the hardwood floor on top of that.
With that, though, you're going to have to create a zone and add it to your heating system, assuming that you have a hot-water system to begin with. So you have hot-water heat now?
RUSS: We do have – no, we don't. We don't.
TOM: I think electric is going to be your only option.
LESLIE: There's a good website, Russ. It's called NuHeat.com and it's N-u-H-e-a-t.com. And it's a great site because there's two different ways that you can customize your own radiant heat mats for the floor: there's a standard set, which is basically for square and rectangle rooms and then if you've got a tricky space, there's a build-your-own mat system for curved walls, whatever unusual circumstances you might have in the space.
But I like the site because it snaps together very easily; there's an instructional video so that it's completely foolproof when you're putting it together. And we all know radiant heat is just awesome. It will help lower your heating bills because you're subsidizing the heat that's in the room, plus your feet will be so happy.
RUSS: Right.
LESLIE: So it's a good project to tackle.
RUSS: Great. Yeah, we do want to do the project ourselves so I will (audio gap) out that site. Thank you.
TOM: You're very welcome. Thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Steve, you've got The Money Pit. How can we help you today?
STEVE: I'm having a water problem in my crawlspace.
STEVE: I live in the middle of town and during the raining season I've got standing water in my crawlspace. I've been looking up on what to do about it and I'm wondering which would be best: a French-drain system around the perimeter or just a basic sump pump.
TOM: Two things. First of all, you've got to get that water out of that crawlspace so for that, you simply want to put a pump down there. Kind of hard to dig a sump pump when you've got water there but you're going to need to get a pump down there one way or the other, Steve, and pump that water out. Open up some vents in the sides so that you get some airflow in there; maybe hook up some fans so you can dry that space out.
Protecting this in the long run, though, is going to require some improvements to the drainage conditions around the outside of the house. You need to have the gutters extended so that they get away from those crawlspace walls, then have the soil slope away from the walls. Whenever you get rain then that causes the crawlspace to flood, in that situation it's a drainage problem; it's not a rising water table. So, improving the drainage conditions will solve it in the – for the next time.
STEVE: Very good. Thank you.
TOM: You're welcome, Steve. Thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.

TOM: Making good homes better, welcome back to The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show on air and online at MoneyPit.com. I'm Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I'm Leslie Segrete.
TOM: And you can also find The Money Pit on Facebook and on Twitter. Plus, we now have an iPhone app. Yes, we are everywhere, kind of like a bad virus. 888-666-3974. Except this one gets your projects done.

LESLIE: Sandy in North Carolina needs some help removing wallpaper. How far into the process are you, Sandy?
SANDY: Well, I've already done one room but my biggest issue was that there was a lot of the glue residue left on the walls.
TOM: Hmm. Yeah.
LESLIE: Have you tried fabric softener and water? I know it sounds weird but it's an excellent wallpaper-paste remover.
SANDY: Oh, yeah? No, I haven't tried that.
LESLIE: It's worth a shot. I mean otherwise, if it's not too, too much and you're just dealing with a little bit of texture and residue, you could lightly sand that away, too.
TOM: Yeah and if you use the fabric softener on your walls, it smells lemony-fresh.
SANDY: And that won't sink into the sheetrock and stuff that's under the …
LESLIE: Well, I'm not saying like super-saturate it.
TOM: No, don't saturate it. Don't saturate it. But you can spray it on – some people do a dilute solution of it – and get more of the paste off. And then a light sanding with a very fine sandpaper, like 200, 220-grit. And then you want to prime the wall with a good-quality, oil-based primer and then you can paint it. And if you follow those steps, it's not as smooth as new drywall but it'll be acceptable.
LESLIE: It'll get there. And then don't pick a paint that has any sort of a sheen if you don't get it super-smooth. Because if you pick something – I wouldn't even go eggshell; I would go flat.
TOM: Yeah, just get good-quality flat. Otherwise, any little bump in the wall, when the light hits it, it'll show.
LESLIE: You'll see everything.
SANDY: Right. So it'll show the imperfections more with that.
TOM: Yeah, exactly. If you use something that's got a shine to it, it'll show the imperfections.
SANDY: OK. OK, sounds great.
TOM: Alright. Well, good luck with that project, Sandy.
SANDY: OK, thanks. I appreciate your help.
TOM: You're welcome. Thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: Well, wood floors are a great selling point in any home but if yours aren't looking so hot, bringing them back to their original glory can be a great do-it-yourself project.
TOM: That's right. And aside from the hassle factor of having to empty the entire room to do this project, refinishing a wood floor is not as hard as it might sound. Here with some tips on how to do just that and do it the right way is This Old House general contractor, Tom Silva.
Welcome, Tommy.
TOM SILVA: Thank you. It's nice to be here.
TOM: So, Tom, the idea of refinishing a floor really scares people but it's not that hard to do, is it? And it really all begins with the prep, correct?
TOM SILVA: Right. The prepping is the first step; removing everything from the room that's going to collect dust. That's the furniture and paintings and all that kind of stuff. You want to cover the doorways with plastic and tape and you want to seal up all your registers.
TOM: Now, I guess that's especially important with a return duct, huh?
TOM SILVA: Absolutely because that returned air will get sucked in and blow dust all over the house.
TOM: So once we've got it all sealed off, then it's time for the sanding step and that really is the most critical part of this process. But there's some different equipment that's easier for DIYers, isn't there?
TOM SILVA: Right. There's floor sanders that will really sand the floor real fast but you've got to know what you're doing; they'll do some major damage that's …
LESLIE: If you don't, that's right.
TOM: That's right.
TOM SILVA: Yeah. That's called a drum sander. That'll make your floor look like the ocean.
But the best type that I recommend for a homeowner is the oscillating type. There's four, little, round heads underneath the sander and you can sand away. You can take your time; it gets right up close to the edges and it does a real nice job.
LESLIE: So, Tommy, do you have any tricks of the trade, especially if this is going to be my first time renting this type of sander to work on the floor?
TOM SILVA: Yeah. Number one, take your time. Start in the corner, start with a real coarse paper. You want to keep the sander moving, alright? You don't want to go and stop and have a cup of coffee with the sander (inaudible at 0:23:47).
LESLIE: Don't get distracted.
TOM SILVA: Yeah, exactly, exactly. Keep a steady pace and change the paper regularly and you'll actually see how the sander's doing; you'll actually see the finish coming off.
TOM: Now, when you use an oscillating sander, does it have sort of a vacuum attachment to it that helps draw off some of the dust that you're generating?
TOM SILVA: Well, it has its own built-in vac system that will go into a bag but I like to use a separate vacuum system along with it and it really picks up the debris really nice.
TOM: So what does that consist of when you say a separate vacuum system?
TOM SILVA: Well, it's a longer hose and then you have a vacuum that's like a big Shop-Vac that you can actually put outside the door, so you have like a 25-foot hose.
TOM SILVA: Put it outside the door, that'll suck the dust, put it in the Shop-Vac and then the other dust will just blow away – the fine dust – so you won't even get it in your house.
LESLIE: Now, you mentioned starting with a coarse paper. Do you sort of progress through to fine or do you just go to coarse and you're done?
TOM SILVA: Yeah, depending on the age of the floor, the condition of the floor, you can start with 36, you can start with 80. You know, it really depends on how aggressive you have to be. And then gradually work your way up through the coarseness until you end up with about 120, 150-degree.
TOM: Alright. So we've cleared the furniture from our room, we've sealed everything off and we've just completed a very successful sanding job. Now it's time to apply the finish. Any tips on that project? Where do people go wrong when applying floor finishes?
TOM SILVA: Well, I think you've got to decide on which kind of polyurethane you want to use. There's water-based and there's oil-based.
TOM: Now, what's your opinion on that? Because I've got to tell you, I've used the latex before and I just found that it wasn't nearly as durable as the oil finishes.
TOM SILVA: Well, the water-based, you have to use a lot more coats.
TOM SILVA: And the benefit to that is you can put a lot more coats on in one day, so your finish is dry; you can usually walk on it with no problem the next day.
TOM: Right.
TOM SILVA: On oil-based finishes, definitely more durable. You're going to have a smell in the house for a few days and it's going to take you longer to put that finish on. It's also going to give a little bit of an amber color. The water-based is going to – what the color of the floor is, is the color you're going to get before you put the finish on.
TOM: And one thing I've learned on the oil-based finishes, despite what it says on the can label, there's no such thing as quick-dry polyurethane.
TOM SILVA: Yeah. No, no. And you don't want to rush that either.
TOM: Right.
LESLIE: Now, if you do rush and apply a second coat before that first one is really cured, it's possible it'll never dry, right?
TOM SILVA: Well, it takes a lot longer for it to dry. It can become gummy or tacky and you can actually get some rippling in the finish, also. So you've got to be careful.
LESLIE: Then you have to do everything all over again.
TOM SILVA: All over again. And you want to sand lightly between each coat, too, to keep it nice …
LESLIE: Using the same orbital sander or …?
TOM SILVA: No, you can sand with a stick, like a drywall stick. Put some sandpaper on it; use 100 to 120-grit paper. And change the paper regularly, because it will gum up a little bit.
TOM: Now, when you're all done, is it important to wait some period of time before you kind of reload and start really using that room heavily? I mean does it take some number of days for it to really cure and get hard?
TOM SILVA: Well, I don't like to put anybody in a room at least for about 48 hours. You can walk on it. I always tell people to walk on it with your socks; not bare feet, just socks. No shoes, no high heels and – because that finish is going to be soft for a while.
TOM: He was looking at you, Leslie. It's OK.
LESLIE: I know. No, he was really looking at you, Tom.
TOM SILVA: Hey, I wasn't looking at you, Tom.
LESLIE: Now, what about if you've just got to make a spot repair? Maybe there's a burn or a gouge mark or a scuff. Is it possible to make a repair to such a small area or do you really have to go big?
TOM SILVA: It's possible to make a repair and polyurethane but it is always going to be a patch and you are going to see it. If you've got a burn, you can go after it with a razor blade, you can go after it with a sharp edge, a sharp chisel and scrape it away. And then you can just drop a dab of polyurethane in there and hopefully it'll level itself.
But it can always look like a patch; it's very difficult to do.
TOM: And Tommy, the refinishing process is such a big job. One of the things that I've always done in my homes is instead of renting the entire sander and going that rate, if the floor is not terribly, terribly worn, how about just renting a floor buffer with a sanding screen? Is that an option?
TOM SILVA: It's absolutely an option. I put a new kitchen in my house in 1985 and I still haven't refinished that floor except recently when I just did an addition. And I basically screen the floor about every three years and basically laid two layers of urethane on top of that. And I have a lot of traffic.
TOM: Yeah, that sanding screen just takes up enough of the old finish and the dirt and the grime to give you a really fresh start.
TOM SILVA: Right, right. You're breaking the finish; you're not sanding the wood.
TOM: Great advice. Tom Silva from TV's This Old House, thanks so much for stopping by The Money Pit.

TOM: Making good homes better, welcome back to The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show. I'm Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I'm Leslie Segrete. And we would love to hear from you, so pick up the phone and give us a call at 888-MONEY-PIT.
Now, this hour, we are giving away, of course, fantastic home improvement advice. But what would it be without an awesome prize to go hand-in-hand with that? We've got a really great one this hour. We've got a $50 Lowe's gift card courtesy of our friends at Therma-Tru, which is going to go to one lucky caller.
And you can use that gift card towards a beautiful, new, Therma-Tru Benchmark door, which is only available at Lowe's. And remember that if you are thinking about upgrading your front-entry door, go with fiberglass because it can truly cut your energy costs and then it really just amplifies your home's curb appeal.
So give us call, 888-MONEY-PIT. We'd love to hear what you're working on.
Well, let's talk about kitchen-remodeling projects. Now, they're usually expensive, right?
LESLIE: Totally.
TOM: But there are inexpensive ways to improve the look of your kitchen and even some ways to take those improvements with you if you move.
Here's one that can add a lot of appeal. You can make your very own faux-tile backsplash that won't affect the walls of your kitchen, making it easy to take down when your lease is up or change when the whim strikes you. And most importantly, assures that there'll be no damage so that nasty landlord can't keep your security deposit.
All you need to do is measure a piece of plywood the size of the area that you want to cover. It can be an area above your kitchen sink or your range. Then tile the plywood and then hang this tiled panel of plywood in your backsplash area.
Now, the key is how do you connect it? Well, you can use some extra-long nails with very wide nailheads and simply wrap that nailhead over the top edge of the board. Or why not use screws and then work that into the design panel? Either way, just make sure it doesn't want to fall down. It's a great way to create a tiled backsplash that is easily removable.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And the fastening way that Tom is mentioning, it's kind of like an old-fashioned photo album, you know, when the pictures were held in place by tabs at the corners? It's the nailhead is what's holding the panel in place against the wall.
TOM: Exactly.
LESLIE: So when you eventually move out and you need to remove this panel, all you really have to do is pry out those nails and then you can easily fill in the nail holes and patch with paint. And best of all, you're going to get that tiled panel that you really, truly like and want and give your kitchen that fantastic décor without doing anything to your renter's agreement.
TOM: 888-666-3974. Give us a call right now with your home improvement question, your do-it-yourself dilemma. Let's get back to those phones.
Leslie, who's next?
LESLIE: Chris in Illinois needs some help with a bathroom project. What can we do for you?
CHRIS: Well, what I'm trying to do is trying to figure out what kind of plywood and flooring – like laminated or tile flooring – I can put down because I've got two little ones – two boys – that kind of like to leave the water running and that's what caused our problem in the first place – of flooring.
TOM: Oh, boy. I see. Mm-hmm. Well, I will tell you that if the choice is between a laminate floor and ceramic tile, ceramic tile is certainly going to be more water-resistant but laminate floor is reasonably water-resistant and a lot easier and less expensive to put down.
But if those cute kids of yours leave the water running, they're still going to damage the surface underneath this, so I think we're going to have to train the kids first and then decide what kind of flooring product we want to use second. But I think that my vote would probably be for a laminate floor, because of the ease of installation. Today, you don't have to glue it down; you just lock the boards together and they float in, basically, on top of the old floor.
LESLIE: And they look really nice and you can get one with almost a commercial finish on it so that if your sons are running around and they're with toy trucks or on roller skates, they're not going to damage up the floor.
CHRIS: So you know my kids pretty well then.
LESLIE: I am the mother of a son, as well.
TOM: Chris, thanks so much for calling us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT.
LESLIE: You are tuned to The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show on air and online at MoneyPit.com. Well, here is just a horrible question for me to even be asking you. Are bedbugs keeping you up at night? If they are, get out of your house. What are you doing still sleeping in that bed?
Well, getting rid of those bedbugs is really a difficult and sometimes a long process and might require you to sleep out in the backyard which, I think, I might do. But we are going to share some suggestions on exactly where to start and how to be successful, coming up.

TOM: Making good homes better, welcome back to The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show. I'm Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I'm Leslie Segrete. And we would love for you to be part of Team Money Pit, so why not join The Money Pit Community? And you are going to be instantly in contact with a ton of do-it-yourselfers just like you.
And you can find out what everybody is working on and get expert advice from Tom and myself or you can just run an idea by your home improvement peers. It's all in the new and awesomely improved Community section at MoneyPit.com.
And you can post your question there. And I've got one from Prakash who writes: "I have a serious problem of unending bedbugs." I'm so sorry. "Is there an easy, homemade solution to permanently kill these bedbugs? I'm having sleepless nights and bug bites."
Move, get out, get out. Just stay in a hotel, please. Go to a hotel.
TOM: There's not even – not only is there not a homemade solution, there's barely a professional-made solution to get rid of bedbugs, as evidenced by the incredible invasion of these guys all over the country and in fact, all over the world.
I will tell you the one solution that I know absolutely works is heat treatments. Professional pest-control operators and others in this business have specialized equipment that can heat the interior of your home up to – I think it's about 130 degrees.
LESLIE: Yeah, it's like anywhere between 130 and 140 and that seems to be the magic number. Over a consistent time period – is just going to cause all of those bugs to just die, which is really what you want.
TOM: Right. If you want to see a website that features this equipment, go to HeatUpBedbugs.com. It's the website for the Quest Company. And you can see these are very big but portable furnaces that get rolled into the house and turned on and then they just go to work heating up the inside of the house.
Now, because it's 130 to 140 degrees, it's not going to harm any of your belongings, so you don't have to empty the house out. You just have to heat everything in the house up to that temperature and then that, of course, kills the bedbugs. So not a homemade solution but one that clearly works.
LESLIE: Alright. Next up, we've got a post from Bill who writes: "I have a metal threshold that was previously connected to the cement foundation, using glue to attach a strip of wood to the cement. Then the threshold was screwed into the wood. The threshold has come loose and attempts to re-glue the wood have been unsuccessful because there is a large crack in the cement. I have tried lag bolts into the cement but the crack is way too wide to hold these bolts. I had an idea of using premixed, concrete crack-filler, then maybe LIQUID NAILS to attach the wood, in which I can then screw the metal down. Do you have any other suggestions?"
That just seems like a lot of piecemeal.
TOM: It does and a couple of things come to mind, Bill. First, filling the crack does seem like a good first step but you want to make sure that you do this with the right product. You need to use a very good-quality patching compound. QUIKRETE makes one that is, in fact, called a concrete patching compound. You can't use regular concrete because it won't stick.
LESLIE: It's never going to stick.
TOM: Exactly. So, using the concrete patching compound is the hot ticket.
Secondly, have you – you mentioned lag bolts. Have you tried Tapcon fasteners? I mean these can be drilled right into the concrete. They've got great holding power in concrete or in the patching compound-repaired areas. You can attach the threshold directly to the concrete and this way, you'll get much better holding power with the Tapcons than you ever could with any adhesive.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And you know what? Having that wood sort of as a filler in between that metal threshold and the concrete, you're inviting decay and moisture. You know, it's better to just get that wood out of the equation, wouldn't you think?
TOM: Absolutely.
LESLIE: Yeah.
TOM: Clearly the way to go.
LESLIE: So, Bill, definitely get on that. QUIKRETE has a wonderful line of products that are perfect for repairing and repatching concrete and that's really the best place to start.
TOM: This is The Money Pit Home Improvement Radio Show. Thank you so much for spending this hour with us. We had fun. We hope that you did, too. And if you've got a question any time of the day or night, remember that you can always call us at 1-888-MONEY-PIT. If we are not on the air, we will call you back the next time we are. And also visit us online at MoneyPit.com.
I'm Tom Kraeutler.
LESLIE: And I'm Leslie Segrete.
TOM: Remember, you can do it yourself ...
LESLIE: But you don't have to do it alone.

Beer and pizza. Pizza and beer. Impossible to achieve gluten-free, you say?
Nay! This recipe resulted in a deliciously normal crust. Crispy center, thick chewy edges, and a rich wheat bread flavor. Substituting powdered soymilk for dry milk and agar flakes for the gelatin didn't affect my results. Best of all? This crust is packed with protein-rich chickpea flour.
I thawed some of the pesto I froze last August and brought it back to life in the blender with olive oil and fresh spinach. Then I added my favorite toppings, kalamatas and broccoli, and enjoyed the best pizza I've eaten in years.
Pesto pizza, a perfectly adequate pint of Redbridge, and five Jets turnovers: Sunday afternoons don't get much better than that.

"I like the look of these boots but I was disappointed when they arrived. The zipper doesn't go all the way to the top so you have to struggle to get the boot on and off your foot. Since the opening is so wide to accommodate your foot, it sticks out and looks strange under pants. I'm returning this pair of boots."

10 Games left! Jets vs Canadiens
Brett Martin
April 04 2013 11:47AM
Put on your finest TV clothes - it's Jets Game day!!
In their first game after the Trade deadline, the Jets fly to Montreal to take on the Montreal Canadiens tonight. With only 10 games left in the Season, and with teams catching up to them in the Standings, there's no better time than now for the Jets to get their groove back. Can they salvage 2 points out of their Eastern roadtrip from hell? Can they stop playing like crap and finally pull away from the pack in the 'Turtle Bowl' that is the Southeast Division race? Will the loss of Nik Antropov matter at all? Questions abound as we await this matchup of Divison Leaders.
The Matchup
Winnipeg Jets
18-18-2 / 38 points / 1st Southeast Divison / 3rd Eastern Conference
Shots/Game: 28.4
Shots Against/Game: 29.7
- Ladd - Little - Byfuglien
- Kane - Jokinen - Wheeler
- Tangradi - Burmistrov - Wellwood
- Gagnon - Santorelli - Thorburn
- Hainsey - Bogosian
- Enstrom - Postma
- Stuart - Clitsome
- Pavelec
Notes and Trash Talk..Kevin Cheveldayoff did what Kevin Cheveldayoff does best at the Trade Deadline - not much. The Jets didn't make any trades, but they did acquire C Mike Santorelli off waivers from the Florida Panthers. I've learned not to expect much from rejected Florida Panthers, but Cheveldayoff has to date shown a shrewd eye for Waiver talent. So far, Grant Clitsome, Jamie Wright, Antti Miettinen, Anthonly Peluso have all contributed something to the Jets fortunes. We won't write off Santorelli yet, but we won't hold our breath, either...The best thing that happend to the Jets all week was the news
that Nik Antropov was inured the signing of Jacob Trouba. Trouba is a beast. I'll write more on him later, but from what I saw of him at the World Jr's last year, I'm very impressed. He hits. He shoots. He punches people in the face. He's reliable defensively. And he's only 19. He reminds me of Shea Weber, and I'm not trying to be a blatant Homer. The Jets are being coy about their plans for him this season, but I'd be shocked if we didn't see him in the lineup sooner than later...My guess? Trouba is team Captain and crowd favorite in less than 6 years...And, yes, Nik Antropov is injured. Word is he's gone for 2 weeks with a lower body injury. Hopefully one or both of Alex Burmistrov and Kyle Wellwood will seize this opportunity to step up.
Montreal Canadiens
23-8-5 / 51 Points / 1st in Northeast Division / 2nd Eastern Conference
Shots/Game: 30.4
Shots Against/Game: 27.1
- Ryder - Eller - Gionta
- Pacioretty - Desharnais - Gallagher
- Galchenyuk - Dumont - Prust
- Moen - Halpern - Blunden
- Gorges - Subban
- Markov - Emelin
- Drewiske - Boullion
- Budaj
Notes and Trash Talk...Marc Bergevin was about as busy as Kevin Cheveldayoff was at the Deadline, acquring Davis Drewiske from the Kings for a 5th round pick. Maybe he thought he was getting Drew Doughty...The Canadiens responded to their GM's vote of confidence by coughing up a 3rd period lead in what would become a sound beating at the hand of the Flyers last night...Tomas Plekanec left last night's game with a lower body injury and did not return. His status tonight is unknown, so, let's cross our fingers and say a little prayer that he'll be out...Montreal won the last outing between the teams 4-3...Montreal is also missing Rene Bourque (concussion), Raphael Diaz (concussion), Ryan White (lower body), Colby Armstrong (lower body) and Yanick Weber (knee).
Serious Information:
Gametime is 6:30pm Winnipeg time, 7:30pm Montreal time, and for those of you in Dodoma, Tanzania, 2:30am Friday morning. The game is televised on TSN Jets and available online at TSN Radio here. A variety of gambling sites favor the Canadiens to win (suckers) and the over/under to be well, well below 15 goals.
5 Predicitions to (probably not, in case of lawsuit) wager your life savings on:
- The spirit of Rocket Richard will possess Blake Wheeler, causing him to have the best game of his season to date. He can be only be cold for so long Right. Right???
- Chris Thorburn wll yet again not get a hat trick
- The Montreal crowd will be too depressed from the beatdown to do their stupid 'Ole' chant.
- Claude Noel's post game conference will garner his some buzz from Just For Laughs.
- Dennis Beyak will be charged by the Language Police with calling the game in English.
To Sum it up...
Let's face it, the Jets have been playing like crap lately.
I'm not sure what it is, but ever since they lost those 2 games to Washington, they haven't had the same kind of swagger they were showing before. I was hoping the Deadline would help shake things up - and it did to an extent, with the claiming of Santorelli and the signing of Trouba. But will it be enough? The Jets can only slide so long before all this talk of Division Titles turns to discussion of who to draft with their Lottery Pick. Enough is enough! Damn the Torpedoes, I want to see the playoffs in Winnipeg this season. I want to see and hear the White Noise again. Un-funkify yourselves, boys! Go Jets Go!
April 04 2013, 12:36PM
I'm going to miss this game with a friend coming into town for an evening. But I almost can't watch anyway. Someone tell me how Santorelli does. Also, someone tell me why Byfuglien is a forward. Does no one in the organization remember that he was not good at forward? Also, rumours are that Wellwood is scratched for Miettinen - but Thorburn stays?!
Forget it. A train wreck isn't a train wreck if you have prior knowledge of it. Then it's either negligence or sabotage.
I'm going to go drink where there are no TVs.
More like the Winnipeg Twin Otters, lol.
Mayday - Mayday - Mayday.
See ya Twin Otters.
Choke.... cough cough sputter ....
April 04 2013, 04:04PM
Here's hoping Buff works in the forward spot. You have to think that all that weight on his knees is going to really wear him down with the constant stop and starts & direction changes that the forward position demands.
April 05 2013, 01:27PM
A Mtl series would probably be the local fave. Wpg got screwed over by the Erat trade. He is in Washington now, and Forsberg will be a Nashville later. You gotta wonder, will aliens let us develop WMDs? Will they want us to stop AGW and communicate how to be the local Sherriffs if they can't travel here? Philly is waiting on Couterier and B.Schenn; it is safe to think these thoughts during a relatively meaningless game against the Jets.
@ Brett Martin
Big Buff basically would screen goalies. As in, he would borderline goalie interference goaltenders. As in, waving his behind in their face.
He did it well enough for a Stanley Cup ring. Luongo wrote poetry about it.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]
Verification is a process used to verify certain information on the FAFSA to ensure its accuracy.
The U.S. Department of Education or the Office of Financial Aid may, at any time, select your application for verification based upon the information you have provided. We are required to make sure that all aid is awarded to students according to federal, state, and institutional regulations. If selected, the verification process must be completed before financial aid can be awarded.
While there are several reasons why a student may be selected for verification some leading causes are:
You and/or your parents may be asked to submit documentation or clarification of information for one or more of the following data elements on your FAFSA:
Typically, students can expect to receive an email notification that they have been selected for verification within 10 14 days after the Office of Financial Aid received the students FAFSA results from the federal processor. (Note: CSU Long Beach will not begin sending out notifications to students until April 6th).
If you receive the CSULB Financial Aid Status - Action Required notification you will need to follow the steps outlined in that communication to complete your file as well access any required forms.
The documents required will vary based on each student. The "CSULB Financial Aid Status - Action Required" email will detail the specific items you must verify, as well as provide instructions on how to access any required forms.PLEASE NOTE: All forms for the verification process are barcoded and personalized for each student. As a result, we can only accept the CSU Long Beach forms – which are available by following the instructions in the "Action Required" email. Blank, non-personalized copies of forms will not be available or accepted.
The documents that we can now accept to verify your tax information have changed based on policy changes from the U.S. Department of Education. Either a tax transcript from the IRS or your FAFSA filed using the IRS Data Retrieval Tool are the only two ways to verify tax data starting with the 2012-13 academic year.
If you have filed your taxes with the IRS, you should log into your FAFSA at www.fafsa.ed.gov and make a correction to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to update your tax information. If you do not, or cannot, use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you will be required to obtain a tax transcript from the IRS and submit it to the Office of Student Financial Assistance. Personal copies of tax returns can no longer be accepted.
The fastest way to request your Tax Transcript is either by phone or online.
Please make sure you request a Tax Transcript. DO NOT request a Tax Account Transcript or Record of Account unless directed by our office to do so.
If successfully validated, tax filers can expect to receive a paper IRS Tax Return Transcript at the address that was used in their telephone request – with 5 to 10 days from the time the IRS received the request.
After all required documents are submitted, the Office of Financial Aid will compare them to your application. If errors are found, corrections will be made and sent to the Department of Education for reprocessing.
You should allow 10 business days for the verification review process and an additional 10 business days if corrections have to be made and transmitted.
Students are expected to apply for aid and complete the verification process before the term has ended. Otherwise, the student is in jeopardy of not receiving any Federal aid for their period of enrollment.
Students selected for verification will not be packaged for financial aid until the Office of Financial Aid has received all requested required documentation and the verification process has been completed. Depending on the time of year, the verification review process can take up to 20 business days from the time the Office of Financial Aid receives all requested required documents.
Participation in the verification process is not optional. If you do not submit the requested documentation, you will not be eligible to receive federal or institutional need-based financial aid and your parents will not be eligible to borrow a federal PLUS loan.

A sharing of the deferred national wealth dividend.
A check of about $700 per week, about $36,000 per year sent to every resident of the USA, 18-years and older would go a long way toward eliminating many of the disliked social programs and move us toward great economic and social equality.
The money would be the result of an undistributed accumulating dividend presently being distributed to those with most wealth. Therefore, the funds would come from a gradation tax of those earning more than one million dollars per year. Individuals would be left to their own personal choices as to how to spend this income.
Beyond eliminating various undesirable welfare programs, it would place every adult in an independent economic situation in pursuing his/her life and the pursuit of happiness. The Swiss have recently considered such a proposal officially.
From and national economic standpoint, it would be a solid and constant spending base that would move us away from reoccurring recessions and probably eliminate economic depressions.
The development and distribution of these funds would hardly affect the incomes of those being taxed, the recipients of the highest incomes.
The wealthiest would be encouraged to invest in well-required public programs. The middle class could participate in market investments.
Those of lowest earning capacities and the most needy could now participate in the opportunities of our society and function as part of it.
A 45 or 50-year old couple with an 18-year child about to enter college, for example would now have over $100,000 a year in addition their normal income to drawn on. That college student it would appear now would not require a college loan. This would almost in itself solve the college enrollment and tuition situation.
We would of course not have people wanting to live on this income alone but with difficulty. On the other hand, people with low-income jobs would find that they could earn and live a somewhat decent living.
The whole country would prosper. The excessively rich might then also be encouraged to invest more of their incomes to further augment their wealth. If there were any surplus in the tax received from derived national dividend program, it could be directed to reducing the national debt.
The cry would be that this would be a program of national income redistribution. It is probably the only practical program for creating jobs, encouraging investment again and a gain for the American economy and without real social loss.

As some of you may remember, we've won a trip to San Francisco and the time is soon approaching that we will be winging on our merry way. Nathan, the founder of IntuitionHQ, and I (Jake) will be heading over for a month from the 15th of November till the 12th of December.
We've got a few plans while we are there, but we'd love to take some time to meet our users, potential users and all interested parties while we are in the area. We'd also love your suggestions on what places to go (for business purposes, of course) while we are there. If you run a startup and you've done the SF thing before, we'd really love your advice on how to get the most value out of our trip.
We are going to be working out of The Landing Pad located in the SoMa District – you can see the location in the map below:
While we're in San Francisco, we are going to be living in the Mission District (and on the lookout for iPhone 5 prototypes), and we're planning on getting bikes so we should be pretty mobile between home, the Landing Pad, and the rest of San Francisco.
If you are going to be in San Francisco between the 15th of November and 12th of December, we'd love to hear from you, and hopefully meet up while we are there. If you'd like to meet us and talk about usability, user experience, web design and the internet, hit us up. You can leave a comment on this page, email us, send us a Tweet @IntuitionHQ or leave a comment on our Facebook page.
If you've got any suggestions for places to go, and great tech/geek hangouts we'd love to hear those as well. Our month over there is going to be all about our business, so we'd love all and any suggestions that you might have.
See you soon in San Francisco.
Jake, Nathan and the team at IntuitionHQ.
