Skip to comments.Half Your Paycheck To The Government In 2013
Posted on 11/21/2012 5:48:15 AM PST by TurboZamboni
Come January 1, you're probably not going to be happy with the amount of taxes you're paying. That's because it's not just Federal taxes that you pay.
A middle class taxpayer pays 25% percent of their income in Federal Income Tax. Sounds, ok?
Then there is the Federal Social Security and Medicare payroll tax of 13.3%. You pick up 5.65% while you're employer pays 7.65%. Add them up and that's 38.3% of middle class family incomes going to Uncle Sam. But we aren't done, not by a long shot.
According to the Tax Foundation, the average state's income tax rate on the middle class is 4.82%. Of course, some states have it and some don't, but we're taking an average here.
Now the total: 43.12% of middle class income to taxes.
Oh, and I almost forgot, unless congress makes a move, Federal Income taxes go to 28% for middle income folks next year as the Bush tax cuts expire.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxbusiness.com ...
That's exactly what I was thinking; only applies if your playing along.
If the GOP ever wants to win another election they need to start running adds NOW!! outlining all this crap. They need to be getting their message out 24/7/365. Not just during an election year.
A question for the tax knowledgeable:
We often hear how US individual taxes are lower than European taxes. Are these apples to apples comparisons? Does Europe have separate provincial, Social Security, unemployment fund income taxes? And does it have additional local taxes?
I realize that there are some other factors—US corporations are heavily taxes; capital gains are more heavily taxes; on the other hand, the European VAT tax probably outweighs our state sales taxes (which is why it's been floated as a possibility for us).
This is what half of Americans voted for. It is what they want. They have the government they elected.
The GOP has been banned for life from the game. We'll all dimocrats now.
This only applies to the 50% that are paying taxes.
The other 50% think your a greedy bastard for wanting to keep your own money.
Something else to watch for is the AMT.
If the AMT is not patched again, which I seriously doubt it will be, it will hit anyone making more than $45k/year.
Exactly. I started working after school and Saturdays at age 12. At age 48, I quit. At 61, I work part-time, about 20 hrs per week. I work just enough to provide my "needs."
I got so fed up with the taxes, government, and materialistic society, I decided I would no longer participate in it.
I am kind of rebellious by nature, so I figure I got to this point a little sooner than most folks. But, I think this is where we are headed. The average person is not going to continue paying taxes to such a wasteful government. Nor, are they going to work their butts off to provide for folks who don't work.
Take a look at your tax bill this year (2012). You may be subject to the AMT, and you won't find out until you file. If you use a tax preparer, call him, now.
Many of them don't pay taxes, either...(especially not the dead and fictitious)
I wish I could agree with you, but the "average" american is an unimaginably stupid piece of sub-human filth who votes for the kenyan and demofilth in general.
I do believe europeans get a lot more "perks" from their employers that enable them to live comfortably before paying taxes
At least I know managers do, with cars, travel expenses, vacation expenses and other items that we pay out of pocket, as part of their compensation. I do not know what they pay in health premiums above the built-in socialized medicine costs
Easy solution = no paycheck!
And, don't forget...
The self-employed pay the FULL 13.3% (15.3%) payroll tax rather than splitting it with an employer. (At least the second half can be taken as a business expense deduction.)
day late and a dollar short..
i have been paying over half of my earnings to the government for over 10 years now....
feds, state, local, sales, property, gas, license plates, communications, and so on and so on..
add it up sometime...
and this is why i not only want to go over the financial cliff, i want to put a brick on the accelerator of the bus and go over full speed..
the ones that voted for fubo overwhelmingly, lower income workers, single women and minorities, will see their tax rates double and even triple, while a whole host that did not pay taxes before will now be on the hook for taxes...
be careful what you ask for, you might just get it..
let them eat cake
Three years ago... Add state and local sales taxes (9% here) to what you purchase with what's left after income taxes.
Why only half? Why not send very penny to the govt, all savings, everything and have them redistribute so everyone can live the same...?
Wait, that means JayZ and Beyonce have to send little Blue Bell to a govt school, can't use their private plane....Obozo and Mooch can't live in HI....
Never mind....
Taxes: the new looting...
The "secret" to eurosocialism is the VAT. It builds in inflation is everything. Luckily we don't have a VAT here(yet).
Given how many Republicans change their tunes once they are elected, and rampant vote fraud, it also sort of touches on that feeling of "taxation without representation."
Up to twenty million illegals will be given amnesty in the near future. With their new found citizenship, they will be allowed to import up to four family members...legally.
GOP win another election? Ummm, I'm thinking not.
Most illegals from Mexico/South America reside below the poverty line as defined by Uncle Sugar. This means that when it is time to file their federal income tax forms, they will qualify for the earned income tax credit.
Up to four thousand depending on circumstances laid out in the tax code will be handed out to new legal-illegals without those folks having contributed to the system.
Billions in free $$$......courtesy of YOU America!
Enjoy Obozo's 2nd term.
...for now.
. . . . Check out # 25.
Twinkle Toes is pushing to get illegals drivers' licenses in Illinois.
In addition the average Obamacare subsidy is going to be around $5000 per year which will cost the taxpayers billions. Redistribution.
The belief that the majority rules in the United States is unConstitutional and reflects a long time disinformation campaign on the part of the left. We don't have a majority rules system.
I've been wanting them to come up with such a tax ~ applies just to Democrats, and Republicans skate free. We all hoppy!
Guess this is as close as it's going to get but New York deserves it ~ blasted by a superstorm, billions in damage, and now their boy raises taxes to the roof!
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/sandy-ravaged-new-jersey-families-face-6933-tax-hike-fiscal-cliff-stalemate ~ this says, more or less, that what you believe is just so much garbage. The top 5 states when it comes to tax increases in the fiscal cliff are ALL among the wealthiest parts of the nation, and have the most Democrats. On a mass scale the greater part of the increased taxes will fall on the RICH who voted for Obama!
Don't know about individual tax rates, but US corporate rates are now the highest in the world. Either a corporation "joins" the mob in DC...or they're run offshore at this point.
I guess you missed this part in the article...
The potential for tax increases on millions of U.S. taxpayers is still possible, the Tax Foundation explains, and would be especially devastating for lower-income families because of the changes to the child tax credit; the elimination of the 10 percent bracket, which would go back to 15 percent; and the reduced standard deduction for married filers — all of which are provisions in the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts.
You could tax 100% of the income of the lowest income 35% of the country and that wouldn't run the government for ten minutes.
Not to dismiss your concerns about the Democrat tax conspiracy to finally come home ~ to their distress, but I think income taxes, per se, have failed to finance government, and can be considered to be just another failed government program.
Before the income tax amendment this country used indirect taxes to finance the federal government and that was quite successful ~ albeit a tad limiting eh!
This fiscal cliff deal will not be resolved by the current Congress except by almost eliminating federal spending.
Now's the time to strike! ~

The government already gets more of our money than we do!!! And Obama and the Democrats want to tax us more???? The governments needs to reduce foolish spending not raise raise taxes.
I fully understand everything you are saying...
I do not beleive you understand what I am saying..
this is not about funding the government in regards to lower income people..
this is about putting cash into the kitty, about feeling some pain for once, about "being fair"
if a fubo voter comes to you about taxing the rich, yet they bitch because their taxes went up, all you have to say to them is "now everybody is feeling the pain. how much more fair can you get?"..
what can they say in return that does not make THEM sound greedy and childish???
the rich will be paying more ( it was gonna happen anyway ) the middle class will be paying more ( it was gonna happen anyway ) and now...
the lower income and those that did not pay taxes before are going to be paying more, and a whole host that did not pay anything are going to be putting something into the kitty...
talk about an opportunity to not only educate, but convert some libs to conservatism...
those that do not wish to change their views, well, just keep on coughin' up the cash pal, 'cuz you got exactly what you voted for...
be careful what you ask for, 'cuz you might just get it..
let them eat cake
You could tax 100% of "the rich"......those making "over 250k"/yr....
This year, Congress will spend $3.7 trillion dollars. That turns out to be about $10 billion per day. Can we prey upon the rich to cough up the money? According to IRS statistics, roughly 2 percent of U.S. households have an income of $250,000 and above. By the way, $250,000 per year hardly qualifies one as being rich. It's not even yacht and Learjet money. All told, households earning $250,000 and above account for 25 percent, or $1.97 trillion, of the nearly $8 trillion of total household income. If Congress imposed a 100 percent tax, taking all earnings above $250,000 per year, it would yield the princely sum of $1.4 trillion. That would keep the government running for 141 days, but there's a problem because there are 224 more days left in the year.
At the end of that little stunt....all local jobs and industry would be gone!!!and the way DC would look at it,.....well, they'd see it as having successfully wiped out the competition!!!!
That will revert back to 7.65% Jan 1
I wonder how many loans will go bust because people will no longer be able to make monthly payments?
I think we know all the issues there ~ to wit, income tax bad, high taxes bad, indirect taxes good ~ or at least just the sort of thing needed to trim the federal government's spending sails.
The other issue is my special idea of TAXING ONLY DEMOCRATS. That way the Democrats are happy because their taxes would certainly be increased, but the Republicans would be happy because their taxes would certainly be decreased.
Do not try to mix those two ideas.
In the case at hand the states that will end up paying the most taxes in the Fiscal Cliff are those who are overrun with Democrats ~ hence, just letting things happen as they are going to happen will end up taxing Democrats, and there's nothing wrong with taxing them!
Now, let's get on with the other part of the idea ~ exempting Republicans from taxation!
BTW, the idea that forcing the poor to pay federal income taxes is good is just this side of totally bizarre. The whole program of federal income taxes was sold as being applicable to only the biggest businesses and the top 1 or 2 percent of income earners!
Reagan put us on the path of returning to that standard ~ besides, as we all recall that was a Republican campaign promise ~ in 1909!

The Emery High Drill Team attended a Jazz Girl Dance Camp this summer where they were successful. Five members of the team were awarded a Jazz sweatshirt for being "Hardworkers" in their class at camp. The girls were: Kari Sharp, Sammy Jones, Sammie Behling, Carrie Bell and Karrie Johansen. Also awarded a sweatshirt for first place on Drill Downs was Jasha Hinkins.
At the camp, the girls were given the opportunity to audition for a performance at a Utah Jazz Basketball game. Savanna Allred and Jasha Hinkins were selected to perform through an audition process where they had to execute advanced dance technique. They will be performing with other dancers in the state at the half-time of the Jazz and the Magic basketball game on Nov. 17.
The Spardettes support all Emery High Teams by performing at the half-times of their home games, but the drill team is also a competing team and will open their competition season of Dec. 13 at College of Eastern Utah. The Spardettes are looking forward to the 2003-04 season.

"You know those super skinny girls whose legs are literally swimming in their boots? I have never identified with them til these boots came around. I have 16 inch calves and there is literally like 2-3 inches extra. I can fit into them in skinny jeans and STILL have room to swim in. Kind of nuts. These are the widest calf boots I've ever tried on."

The 18-mile stretch of Route 108 that connects Stowe and Jeffersonville via Smugglers' Notch is a destination in itself, as well as a way to get from one town to another during the spring, summer, and fall. It starts out looking like any other easily negotiable Vermont road, but after it courses past the resort-area businesses that trail north out of Stowe and leaves behind the ski area, it's easy to see why no plow dares make the passage in winter.
Steep slopes crowd close once you reach Mount Mansfield State Forest, and Route 108 narrows to a blacktop corkscrew of a road with a 16 percent grade. On the Stowe side, there's access to the resort's gondola and auto road to Mount Mansfield's summit, along with picnic and camping spots. Near the crest of the notch, where the dark walls of Mount Mansfield and Spruce Peak loom above the road, you can pull over and hike to Sterling Pond, the highest pond on the Long Trail. Here it's never fully daylight, especially beneath the 1,000-foot rise that lofts to the stark rock formation called Elephant's Head. Did smugglers really use this route more than two centuries ago to secretly transport supplies to the Canadian-based British army? If not, they should have: Not only is it the most direct way through the northern Green Mountains, but it's also crammed with rocky nooks and crannies.
Vistas broaden after you navigate the sharp summit turns, and the road straightens on the way down past Smugglers' Notch ski resort and into Jeffersonville. Now you're in northern Vermont, where things are just a bit more rustic, and even a sizable ski area isn't beset by bistros and boutiques. Take time to enjoy it before you make that drive back to the other side of the notch.

Whitney Biennial Roundups
March 1, 2010 · Print This Article
Sharon Butler of the wonderful painting-centric blog Two Coats of Paint had a very helpful post a few days ago focusing on the painters included in this year's Whitney Biennial. She also provides excerpts from the catalogue blurbs written about them. Go on over and check it out! Three painters from Chicago, Julia Fish, Scott Short, and Jim Lutes are featured in this year's Biennial and are mentioned in Butler's post.
Butler also includes some useful links to reviews of the Biennial by prominent art critics published thus far. My least favorite of those has got to be Charlie Finch's "Thrift Shop Biennial" piece for artnet.com. Poor choice of metaphors in that review, methinks–and usually I'm able to take my snark with a huge helping of salt. Let's leave the condition of homeless individuals out of our reviews of art shows, shall we?

"But the truth is, when they make a movie or a TV mini-series about me, they'll probably just skip right over the middle school years and go right to the part where I'm famous. Seriously, who's gonna want to see a movie about a guy who's stuck in middle school with a bunch of half-grown morons?"
Well, 20th Century Fox is counting on LOTS of people seeing a movie about a kid stuck in middle school (whether it's filled with half-grown morons is yet to be seen). They're making Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series into a movie! The quote above is part of Greg's opening dialogue, and he's totally wrong — because those middle school years are exactly what the movie is about.
How did I get a quote from a movie that's not out yet? This is really cool — Fox is doing on online casting call for the main character, Greg Heffley. They put the first scene of the movie up on their website and are having kids submit audition tapes online. Then anyone who visits the website can watch the audition tapes – kind of like American Idol for male actors age 10-13, except it's not on television and you can't call in and vote and there's no Simon Cowell (thankfully!) or Paula Abdul and . . . Okay, so maybe it's nothing like American Idol. But some guy out there is going to go from regular middle-schooler to movie star. And I hope he's keeping a diary (or as Greg would insist, journal) in case someday someone wants to make a movie about when he became famous!
And for all those Wimpy Kid fans who aren't wannabe-movie stars, Jeff Kinney has more Wimpy Kid books planned. Check out this video trailer for the books and go get reading!

Patent Models: Textile and Sewing Machines
For much of the nineteenth century, inventors submitted a model with their patent application to the United States Patent Office. The National Museum of American History's patent model collection began with the acquisition of 284 models from the Patent Office in June 1908, and reached more than 1,000 models by the end of that summer. In 1926, Congress decided to dispense with the stored collection of models and gave the Smithsonian Institution the opportunity to collect any models it wanted. Today, the Museum's collection exceeds 10,000 patent models dating from 1836 to 1910.
The Museum's Textile Collection contains over four thousand patent models. The collection includes many examples of carding machines, spinning machines, knitting machines, rope making machines, looms, baskets, carpets, fabrics, and sewing machines. Even the simple clothespin is well represented, with 41 patent models.
This sampling of patent models from the Textile Collection describes the two major groupings, textile machinery and sewing machines. In both groups, the examination of the models begins with the earliest of the inventions. In this early group of patent models, the textile machinery models date from 1837 to 1840, and the sewing machine models from 1842 to 1854.
For more information about the Museum's patent model collection, see Patent Model Index, Guide to the Collections of the National Museum of American History.

1837 Thorp's Patent Model of a Loom Shuttle Tongue
- Description
- Loom Shuttle Tongues Patent Model
- Patent No. 162, issued April 17, 1837
- Comfort B. Thorp of Smithfield, Rhode Island
- Comfort Thorp, the younger brother of textile machinery inventor John Thorp, worked for Thomas and William Fletcher in their mill near North Providence. His patent improved the method of securing and holding the cop, or yarn cylinder, on the common power loom shuttle, preventing slips that would waste yarn and cause imperfections in the woven cloth.
- The patent model he submitted contained two types of tongues. One used a common round tongue with wire spiraled around it. The other consisted of a tongue with ridges or notches similar to the teeth of a saw blade. The two loom shuttle tongues were neatly exhibited in a box, probably to keep them from being separated or lost in the cases at the Patent Office.

1838 Faber's Patent Model of a Hand Card
- Description
- Hand Card Patent Model
- Patent No. 863, issued August 1, 1838
- George Faber of Canton, Ohio
- Faber's patent related to the construction of the common hand card used for carding cotton or wool prior to the spinning process. He specifically patented using wood veneer, instead of leather, for the foundation that contained the card's wire teeth. The wood was cut from 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch in thickness, 4 inches in width, and 4 to 8 inches in length. The wood was then steeped in water to soften it so that when placed in a card-making machine, it could be pricked and the teeth inserted. The veneer was nailed to another piece of wood and a handle inserted to form the hand card.
- Although Faber did not claim credit for inventing the card-making machine, in his patent specification he did mention that he had made improvements on it.

NEW YORK — The image was slightly jarring — to reporters, to fans watching along on TV and even to Notre Dame coach Mike Brey: Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim standing in front of the ACC logo as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
"That's one that everyone's going to have a hard time digesting," Brey said, laughing. "I'll give him credit because he's come a long way. I know he wasn't very happy … now, he's back, baby. That's the one (image) everyone's got to get used to, no question."
RELATED: ACC continues to explore New York move
PREVIOUSLY: Boeheim addresses ACC after season ends
Boeheim himself might be the only one unfazed by his new affiliation, which became official Monday. Along with Pittsburgh in all sports and Notre Dame in everything but football, Syracuse is now a member of the ACC.
"It's been so long coming, I think we're already used to it," Boeheim said. "We've been adjusting for this. To go in with so many familiar schools really helps me from a psychological standpoint. It's not some crazy, new teams we've got to get used to.
"It's much more familiar now than it would have been, say, 10 years ago."
VIDEO REWIND: Boeheim's best moments with the media
Boeheim and Brey joined Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer and Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher, as well as a slew of ACC officials, to commemorate the official start of the new-look league Monday afternoon at NASDAQ in Times Square.
Notably but perhaps unsurprisingly, most of the day's celebrations focused on basketball. Adding perennial NCAA tournament teams to a conference already considered among the nation's best will certainly make the sport a topic of conversation.
"We've got such a great tradition and history in basketball," ACC commissioner John Swofford said, adding he hopes the league will improve across all sports. "I think it's fair to say we pay a lot of attention to that sport."
That's fairly rare in this climate, considering how many college athletic realignment moves over the past few years were caused by football and its revenue stream.
"When this expansion went forward from the ACC, and they started to put it together, they went with a basketball point of view, to strengthen their basketball," Brey said. "The previous move – Boston College, Virginia Tech, Miami – was very much a football move. This was clearly, 'We've got to get basketball better.'
"It is refreshing to see that in the midst of all the football stuff. The basketball world … is really anticipating what this league is going to look like."
Last season, seven teams that are now under the ACC umbrella made the NCAA tournament last season. Louisville, the defending national champion, is set to join the league next year. The strength of the top teams and the depth of the rest prompted Boeheim to predict the possibility of nine or 10 ACC teams making the NCAA tournament in coming years.
"You get nine of 10 teams in the tournament because your league is good, not because you're good," he said. "Your league has to be good, that's the key. The better your league is, the better the chance your team has to have success. I think that's a goal we'll reach."
Brey agreed, but allowed that it may not happen immediately.
"The one thing the Big East had was it was getting half the league in consistently," Brey said. "That's how you have to start."
Potential is a word that gets thrown around a lot in sports, but in this case, it seems reasonable and appropriate to use, when discussing a conference that not only has powerhouses Duke and North Carolina, but also the likes of Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, Syracuse and Louisville – teams that have combined for 16 Sweet 16 appearances in the last decade.
"I don't think there's ever been a league with the potential basketball-wise that the ACC has right now going forward," Boeheim said. "It's an unbelievable basketball conference."

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 12:25-27; 13:22-25
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 63.11,1
The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord.
Verse: Oh God, hear my cry.
BRETHREN, see that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less shall we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. His voice then shook the earth; but now he has promised, "Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heaven." This phrase, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore I appeal to you, brethren, bear with my word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly. You should understand that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom I shall see you if he comes soon. Greet all your leaders and all the saints. Those who come from Italy send you greetings. Grace be with all of you. Amen.

- Brief Synopsis:
- In the year 2650, Gilbert Gosseyn finds that he is not the man he thinks he is. But he has some remarkable abilities; and he must use them--not only to discover his true identity, but why he is involved in an interstellar conspiracy.
- Long Synopsis:
- [from the back cover] "The classic novel of non-Aristotelian logic and the coming race of supermen Grandmaster A. E. van Vogt was one of the giants of the 1940s, the Golden Age of classic SF. Of his masterpieces, The World of Null-A is his most famous and most influential. It was the first major trade SF hardcover ever, in 1949, and has been in print in various editions ever since. The entire careers of Philip K. Dick, Keith Laumer, Alfred Bester, Charles Harness, and Philip Jose Farmer were created or influenced by The World of Null-A, and so it is required reading for anyone who wishes to know the canon of SF classics. It is the year 2650 and Earth has become a world of non-Aristotelianism, or Null-A. This is the story of Gilbert Gosseyn, who lives in that future world where the Games Machine, made up of twenty-five thousand electronic brains, sets the course of people's lives. Gosseyn isn't even sure of his own identity, but realizes he has some remarkable abilities and sets out to use them to discover who has made him a pawn in an interstellar plot."

|In response to Re: Getting instant hot water at all sinks/showers
: Don't want to simplify this discussion too much, but my plumber and I worked out a no-moving-parts solution for "instant hot water" 40 years ago which I'll describe for what it's worth:
: We have a conventional tank-type water heater with a standard drain cock on the bottom of the tank for occasional flushing of any sediment or if for some reason the tank needs tobe drained.
: We shut off the water, drained the tank and temporarily removed the drain valve. A "tee" was inserted between the valve and tank. A ball valve was installed into the side opening on this tee. We then ran a small (1/2") soft-drawn copper tubing, the kind approved for dishweasher hookup, etc., from the ball valve at the tank base to another tee close to the most-distant hot-water tap. Try to "grade" this line so it slants upward to its far end as much as possible. (If this "return" line needs to be routed to two destinations by adding a tee in-line no problem, but one distant tap may stay a little hotter than the other.) For good practice, put a ball valve on this tube right at the water-heater tee. If (unlikely) water at the tap becomes too hot, the ball valve can be used to limit circulation slightly. It will help operation and save a bit on energy if both the original hot-water lines and the new "return" line are insulated with inexpensive snap-on foam pipe insulation, but if mostly inaccessible, try to insulate wherever it is accessible.
: When the setup is complete, slowly open the ball valve and check carefully for leaks in the new joints. Flush the distant hot-water taps until bubbling stops, especially those on upper floors, to eliminate as much air as possible in the "loop" you have created. Air left trapped in the lines will eventually absorb into the water and be carried away, and the system won't work well until any air trapped in "high spots" in the lines is absorbed or carried away.
: Theory of operation: Heat--and hot water--rises, so the water at the top of the water heater is hotter than at the base of the tank. Originally the hot water supply terminates at a closed tap, so aside from warming a few inches from the top of the tank, there is no circulation within the line since the fixture tap is normally "off".
: With a loop created, the slight "upward pressure" of the hot tank-top water "pushes" the water in the hot water line upward which in turn pushes the unheated water in the "return" down and back through the tee at the base of the heater. Circulation occurs because the returning "cooler" water is drawn back into the heater and replaces the hot water now rising out of the top of the tank.
: One contributor mentioned the risk of cross-connecting hot- and cold-water lines and I agree. Note that in this setup all plumbing and circulation occurs ONLY within the normal "hot" water line and water heater, and the cold-water line is not involved in any way.
: I just mentioned the returning water was cooler. In real life, once everything warms up and is circulating well, especially if insulated, I can tell you the "returning" water, even using a little 1/2" return line, is anything but cool after a day or so. This arrangement works like a champ, at a total material cost of a 60' roll of copper tubing (or DEX cross-linked PE, etc.), a couple of tees and a couple of valves. And, as I said, no moving parts, sensors or tricky controls. Less is more wif you can pull it off.
: This loop also adds another slight benefit in that it helps keep the entire water heater filled with top to bottom with almost-uniform hot water, automatically providing a slightly higher reserve for those periods of high usage in the morning(!)
: Don't know how this would work in a single-level ranch-type home, but should not be a problem so long as the "return" line is installed somewhat lower than the hot water "supply" and the supply side is graded upward to as close to the taps as possible.
: I'm a registered securities representative, not a plumber or pipefitter, but over the years I have learned more about residential systems than I really wanted to know due to owning substantial rentals. Hope this helps in your thinking.

Great for the price
"I bought these to wear over the winter on days when I didn't want to ruin my expensive leather boots, and I fell in love with these! However, they do look a bit cheap. Overall:-comfy -easy on/off -cute style -goes with everything -fit well-outer sole IS quite slippery, but they're not worth re-soleing.-materials look/feel cheapFor the price, they're awesome beater boots that will last a winter. If you're looking for more quality, I'd stay away from these boots."

"I got these boots last year and wore them a ton! They're not the most comfortable boots but I wear them with thick socks and they're great. I get a lot of compliments on them too. I got them in size 6 and I'm a size 5 so they're pretty roomy for me which is why I wear thick socks. They do wear down pretty fast though. There are many creases/cracks on the toe area and the heel is pretty worn down as well."

very narrow
"These boots would look great with skinny leg pants, but the top is too wide to wear with a boot cut jean. They were very narrow and tight in the width, and stiff to walk in, but they were really cute. If you have narrow feet, they would be ok. Had to return them."

When Can I turn on the tap?
UNEP hopes that the conference will provide an answer to the question:
"Have the rich, the decision-makers, the large water-users become the "gatekeepers" of the world's water?"
Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of UNEP will address this question in his speech at the conference on Monday 3 December 2001.
If the answer to the question is "yes", then those gatekeepers must take responsibility and act to resolve the current crisis of water management and governance. Such action would support and promote sustainable development.
UNEP believes that integrated water resources management is required to ensure:
- Sustainable demand and use of water
- Water supply to all
Water pollution, poor sanitation and water shortages kill over 12 million people every year. Millions are in bad health and trapped in poverty - much of their energy and time wasted in the quest for clean water. The poor of the world are affected most by the crisis. They rely on as little as 10 litres per capita per day to survive while the rich use as much as 250 litres - a basic daily water requirement is defined as being 50 litres per person per day.
Water supply in Africa can be a matter of life and death. A UNEP/Habitat side event at the conference on Tuesday 4th December will focus on water in Africa.
For more information please contact: Tore J Brevik, Spokesman/Director UNEP's Division of Communications and Public Information, on Tel: 254 2 623292, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com or Nick Nuttall, UNEP's Head of Media, on Tel: 254 2 623084, Mobile: 254 (0) 733 632755, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

Well, I'm making real progress on my 4 year bathroom remodel. Wife said I could move off the couch once the toilet was installed. Problem is I enlisted her assistance, told her she could help by picking flooring and light fixtures. She spent 700 bucks on 2 sconces and ceiling fixture. Then bought a brazilian Cherry hardwood floor, which after I checked the website www.br111 for installation tips, I noticed it says not to put it in a bathroom. My wife claims she told the lady at the expo that it would be for a bathroom. Now what? Can I put it in there or not, I don't want a buckled warped up floor? Help,,,again!

UPDATE 9:45pm: Gregor blogs live!
Jason Gregor
September 22 2008 09:45PM
Here is a quick look at the lineup for tonight's tilt versus the Canucks:
Cole – Horcoff – Hemsky Moreau – Pisani – Penner Schremp – Pouliot – Gagner Reddox – O'Marra – Benson
Souray – Staios Smid – Visnovsky Peckham – Chorney
The biggest question is, when will Benson drop the flippers? I say six minutes in...
Whoever picks the closest time and what period for Benson's fight will win a pair of tickets to Wednesday's game against the Panthers. Your picks have to be in by 7pm tonight (leave them in the comments, and be sure to include a valid email address). Don't try and get them in after, because The Internets Know What Time It Is™.
The Canucks have a few guys dressed who would be willing to dance, but since we aren't exactly sure who is dressing tonight, you just have to give the time and period.
It's interesting to see Pouliot and Schremp playing with Gagner. Both are bubble guys, and clearly MacTavish wants to give them every opportunity to shine. Conversely, O'Marra is a guy who hasn't played with any veterans at any point in camp and finds himself well down the depth chart.
Also, expect Peckham and Chorney to be partners in Springfield this season—that's why they are paired together. Plus it will give them a chance to see how they handle NHL players. Garon will go the distance in goal tonight.
First Period
I'm upset before the game even starts, because middleweight Rick Rypien isn't dressed for the Canucks. Rypien and Hans Benson would have been a great scrap, but I'm 100% certain that Benson will go tonight.
Oilers start Pisani's line with Souray and Staios. MacTavish really wants to get Pisani comfortable at centre. I will be watching the pairing of Smid and Visnovsky. I'm curious to see how they play together.
:54... Krog takes an interference penalty and the Oilers put Horcoff's line with Souray and Visnovsky.
1:21... It takes all of 27 seconds for the Oilers to score. Souray takes the puck off the boards and rips a bullet by Schneider. The interesting thing is he was playing the left point. There has been much speculation as to who will play the left point, with both Visnovksy and Souray
2:28... Canucks respond as pugilist Jeff Cowan puts it home. Garon made a great save seconds earlier coming across the crease to stone Labrie, but Benson couldn't tie up Cowan's stick and standing in the crease he slides it home. Labrie and Kesler with the assists. Benson really wanted to go with Cowan, but settled from a minus instead.
3:30... Souray walks in from the point and rips one off the crossbar. Schneider didn't even move. He has yet to adjust to an NHL slapshot it seems.
4:13... Pisani takes a hooking penalty away from the play. Canucks send out Sedin, Pyatt and their chunky off-season acquisition, Kyle Wellwood. Interesting to note that Penner and Pouliot are on the PK. Pouliot is no surprise, but Penner? MacTavish hinted he wanted to find different ways to get him ice time, but I don't see this come the regular season. Brodziak, Pisani, Moreau and Horcoff are the top four killers, with Cogliano the 5th.
6:37... Souray with his 4th shot of the period from the left point, Scheider actually saw this one and makes the save, but the rebound goes right to Eric Cole and he bulges the twine. All three now have two points. The first seven minutes have been highly entertaining; hopefully the teams keep it up.
10:56... Visnovksy on the score sheet, with a hooking call. Moreau and Horcoff start the kill, with Pisani and Gagner out next. Canucks tie it up as Ohlund moves into the slot, takes a pass from Sedin and puts it between the pads. Wellwood with the other assist, and if he can keep producing his coach might cut him some slack when it comes to his lack of conditioning.
12:13... Nolan Baumgartner gets a hooking call and the Oilers send out the same five on the PP. As the teams line up for the faceoff to the left of Schneider, Hemsky and Davison are engaged in a lengthy conversation. Ryan Rishaug and I are wondering what they could possibly be talking about. It seemed like a cordial conversation. Maybe Davison said, "Ales I really need to make this team so don't embarrass me." Hemsky replies, "I don't even know who you are, but don't stand in front of the net if Souray is shooting, because he might take your head off." Oilers never have consistent pressure and now they are 1 for 2 on the PP. Pouliot's line finished the man advantage and they didn't do much either.
14:33... Taylor Chorney finished a rough shift by taking a penalty. After turning it over in the neutral zone, he then allowed Dan Gendur to walk around him and Chorney took the hooking call. He skates very well, but he will need some seasoning in Springfield and a weight room. He needs to get stronger. Penner is back on the PK, as he and Reddox do a good job of ragging it in the neutral zone. Canucks don't register a shot and we are back to five-on-five.
19:55... Staios with a horrible giveaway right on the stick of Cowan. Cowan streaks down the left side and bulges the twine, but it was the outside of the net. The goal judge is in preseason form as the red light switches on. Fans in the 300 sections start screaming, "Staios you're a bum," "Get off the ice 24", but their taunts stop quickly when they realize the puck never went in. I'm surprised it took almost an entire period for the diehards in the 300s to start in on Staios. He seems to be one of their favourite targets.
Oilers outshoot the Canucks 15–10. A decent period for preseason, but only one hit the entire period. Peckham ran over Cowan midway through the first, but at the time I didn't think it was worth mentioning, but now that was the only one we saw, kudos to Peckham.
Second Period
1:23... Labrie takes a hooking call in the offensive zone and the Oilers go back on the PP. Pouliot's line starts with Staios and Chorney on the backend. They never seem to get comfortable, and after 50 seconds the #1 unit is back out. Cole will be choked—he could have had two goals. First, a nice three-way passing play from Hemsky at the left boards, sends it across to Horcoff at the right circle to Cole on the left crease and Schneider gets a pad on it. The rebound goes to Hemsky on the left wall. He waits, and then finds Cole in the low slot, but he redirects it wide. If Cole can stay healthy I might up my 37 goal prediction to 41.
7:00... Schremp has to learn to challenge the D-men. Twice on this shift he comes across the blueline and looks to make a play rather than keep his feet moving and forcing the defender to back off. He has made smart decisions tonight and looked much more comfortable, but until he stops gliding the minute he crosses the blueline his progress will be slow.
8:21... Souray crushes Jaffray with an open-ice hit right at the Oiler blueline. Labrie comes over and jumps Souray, but doesn't throw a punch. Souray has no interest in fighting as he just bends over with Labrie riding his back. Souray has been excellent tonight. His shot is still a rifle and he has been physical. If he stays healthy, he should help in many areas. Labrie gets an unsportsmanlike penalty and Cowan draws a roughing penalty. The #1 unit starts and they get some decent chances. The best one is a Visnovsky one-timer that Schneider snares with his glove. After 1:23, Pouliot, Schremp and Gagner come out up front. Souray and Visnovsky play the entire two minutes, but the Oilers can't beat Schneider.
12:02... Schremp, Gagner and Pouliot with their best shift. They are cycling down low and Schremp with three great passes. His skill is there, but eventually he needs to put up some points. Rishaug and I agree that this is the best game we've seen Schremp play in an Oiler uniform. It looks like he is going to get a long look this camp.
13:25... Finally: we have a winner! Benson and Rob Davison drop the mitts. Davison gets Benson's helmet off early and fires some close-range shots, but none really land. Benson responds with a one of his own before they lose balance and fall to the ice. No winner here, not much of a fight. But someone just won tickets to the Florida game. We'll check the predictions.
14:48... Down a man after a Cole penalty, the Oilers create chance after chance. Once again, Penner is out on the PK and he starts a 3-on-1 with Staios and Reddox. Penner comes down the left wing and feeds Staios in the slot, who is robbed by Schneider. Fifteen seconds later, Garon moves it to Staios who sends Gagner in all alone. Gagner waits, then goes to his backhand to give the Oilers a 3–2 lead.
16:29... Delayed penalty coming to the Canucks, and the Oilers get the extra man on. Schremp comes off the bench and sets up at the right dot. Hemsky controls on the left boards, saucers a pass to Schremp but he doesn't get all of and it rolls to the corner. Schremp looks skyward knowing he should have buried that. On this PP, Gagner replaces Cole on the #1 unit.
17:50... Schneider with another nice stop, stoning Horcoff down low. This kid has played well for the 'Nucks. Second PP unit sees Schremp, Penner and Pisani with Staios and Chorney at the point, but they don't generate any quality chances.
19:24... Moreau with a hooking minor and the Canucks will start the 3rd on the PP. They are 1 for 4 on the PP so far.
After 40 minutes the Oilers lead 3–2. Kudos to Oilers fans as they pack the house for a preseason game. You have to love the passion in E-town.
Third Period
CONGRATS to Alphah who predicted Benson would fight 10 minutes in to the second period. He was the closest. Enjoy the game on Wednesday.
0:00... Oilers start down a man. Pouliot and Reddox do a good job of killing the first minute or so and the Canucks never get a good chance.
2:19... Mason Raymond, the former Camrose Kodiak, gets a cross checking minor. #1 Unit starts the PP again, and while they maintain possession in the offensive zone for 1:30 they generate nothing.
4:32... Garon robs Raymond on a breakaway, and then from his stomach gets a stick on the second shot by Pyatt. Seconds later Raymond takes a run at Gagner and misses. Benson just happens to come off the bench on a change and goes right after Raymond. He doesn't sucker him; rather he grabs him from behind. Davison comes storming in, and takes Benson to the ice in front of the Canuck bench. Peckham and Pyatt come steaming in, and land on top of Davison and Benson. On the replay you can see Peckham firing shots at Davison. Now all the players are in it, and out of the scrum Smid has Raymond. He tries to fire some punches but can't get loose. After all is said and done. Benson gets two for roughing, the instigator, five for fighting and a game misconduct. Davison gets double minor for roughing and a game misconduct. So the Oilers are down a man for five minutes.
7:36... Garon with another nice stop, this time kicking out a toe to stop Kesler. I know this is pre-season, but the Canucks have no scoring depth. They will be in the bottom three in scoring this season, mark my words. After the Sedin Sisters and Demitra there isn't much scoring power to speak of. If they are betting on Kyle Wellwood and Kesler they are in for a long season
9:32... Oilers kill off the five minutes. I will say the in-house camera guys aren't very good tonight. We've yet to see one hot girl on the big screen. That should never happen, especially with a sell out. I was downstairs at the intermission and I saw a few so I know they are here. And while we're on the topic, Northlands need to hire some ice girls. Trust me, it would add to the game. Nothing raunchy, just some nice Lulu lemon pants. Are you with me boys? And girls?
11:56... Krog trips up Schremp and the Oilers are on their 8th PP. They have moved the puck around nicely but only have one goal to show for it, and that includes a two-minute 5-on-3. The #1 Unit starts again, and they are replaced by Pouliot's line, but neither unit sustains much pressure. One for eight now.
14:03... Garon another stellar glove save.
14:23... Right off the draw, Chorney, who has struggled handling the puck all night, has it bounce off his stick right to Dan Gendur and he beats Garon between the pads. They give Krog an assist, so it must have bounced off of Chorney, then Krog before Gendur's first of the pre-season.
15:06... Okay finally they show a girl on the big screen and she FLASHES the crowd, lifting her shirt and bra. Good for you. The best part is Rishaug missed it! Now I don't condone public nudity, but I will say section 114 row 11 seat 4 good for you. The three guys sitting directly behind her are all now trying to wheel her. It doesn't look they are getting very far. One guy even moved to the row in front to try and talk to her. He got a handshake. If he had any game he would have flashed her, to show her they have some common ground.
20:00... Overtime her we come. Shocking the Oilers are going to OT. Last year the Oilers went to OT 25 times, so it looks like they want to continue that trend. They were 15–4 in the shootout and 4–2 in OT, so if they can keep that trend going they should be fine.
2:40... Best chance of OT goes to Visnovsky, but he ripped it wide on the short side.
3:33... Garon gets his left pad down to stop Gendur from the just below the right circle.
4:10.... Chorney gets a cheap holding call. Raymond came down the right side, and Chorney steered him to the boards, and at the last moment he used his free hand to push him. A weak call, but the Oilers had their chances earlier so we'll see if the Canucks can get a win.
5:00... Canucks don't get a good chance and we are going to the shootout.
I'm calling Hemsky, Gagner and Schremp as the shooters. Wellwood, Raymond and Kesler are my picks.
Wellwood goes first. He walks in fakes backhand and then fires a wrist shot past Garon.
Schremp up for the Oilers. Schremp comes in slowly, gets in tight, makes a few dekes, pulls it to his forehand and Schneider makes the save.
Raymond walks in. Fakes a move and fires wide.
Gagner... Skates in, stick handles in the slot and then snaps it high over the glove of Schneider.
Krog (only guy I didn't guess). Walks in and roofs it off the crossbar and in. Great shot.
Hemsky. Skates in, goes to his left and then flips it to high over the net.
Canucks win 4–3 in a shootout.

September 22 2008, 05:14PM
Benson, 5:12 into the 1st period. I wouldn't be surprised if it's his first shift.
September 22 2008, 05:25PM
4:01 in the second
Gagner is the poor bastard who must have drawn the short straw. Meanwhile Nilsson and Cogliano get to have beers in the pressbox and heckle their linemate.

Benson will fight 3:45 in the first.
Benson will fight 3 minutes into the second period.

Benson will fight 7:15 into the first period
September 22 2008, 05:47PM
im going to say 6:32 into the first period for the fight.
September 22 2008, 05:48PM
Benson will drop the mitts @ 4:13 of the first period. Count it. *swish*
maybe Benson will go Round 2 with that kid who speed bagged him in the rookie tourney, I'm guessing they go off the opening faceoff, so the clock will read 19:58 of the first period, or 2 seconds into the game.
Peckham will also scrap in the game, I'm guessing with Rypien in the third period after the Oil are well ahead 5-1, they drop the mitts with six minutes left in regulation.
Then Cowan and Penner will have a hugging match as the clock winds down.
September 22 2008, 05:48PM
Benson will fight at 10:15 into the first period
September 22 2008, 05:50PM
Benson with 7:38 remaining in the first.

Benson tilt is 2:20 into the first period (the first punch might not be thrown until 15 seconds later with all the dancing and posing that goes on).
September 22 2008, 05:52PM
He'll drop the mitts 5:17 into the first.
First period, 11:17

I'd like to bid one dollar, Jason.
9 minutes into the first
September 22 2008, 07:24PM
I doubt Benson gets back on the ice after he screwed up on the 1st Van goal. MacT likes a good round of fistocuffs, but hates bad defensive plays
September 22 2008, 08:43PM
What the heck Jeff?! Get your own prediction mr. sneak-a-bet. To think, I'm actually so irked that I'm writing this on my phone. Good luck to the second period candidates!
September 22 2008, 08:50PM
i love lamp
September 22 2008, 08:52PM
what are the faceoffs looking like?
September 22 2008, 10:03PM
I'll take "Rookie Hockey Fights" for $500, Alex.
September 22 2008, 10:12PM
of course the first night shift I have worked in 2 years results in me missing out on winning tix...... that is the last time I cover for Fred..
So Gregor you really think Schremp is strong candidate for a roster spot?
September 22 2008, 11:59PM
I wouldn't say strong. The Oilers have lots of forwards who are the same size and style as Schremp, but they are all on the 2nd line. He is in the mix, but he has to produce in his next few preseason games or he'll get another ticket to Springfield.
September 23 2008, 01:06PM
every time i post on sites with actual women i often get the response "post n00dz"
question 1) what does this phrase mean 2) should i do what they're asking? 3) why dont any of you ask me this question?
I thought Schremp looked like he was carrying a lot of weight on those shoulders... I guess he's feeling the pressure. He made a couple nice moves and would have scored if he hit the net... but he appeared to float quite a bit and was tenative at times... also saw him picking up the rear on the way back to the d-zone... I'd be curious to hear what MacT says.
Sheldon "Blast-Master 5000" Souray was sure letting them rip tonight! I think the announcers said he had 7 shots, but I counted 9-10 plus at least 3 missed shots. Shoulder sure looks good.

FTSI CEO Scott Fisher reports that NASCAR wanted a shot that went over the audience area and the pit as well as into the infield. His company created a computer-controlled flying-camera rig called the Navigator System. The Navigator is based on technology FTSI has deployed for years in theme parks and for live stage events where the need for people and props to be flown in elaborate patterns can be executed safely and consistently.
The company has since adapted this technology to enable a camera to virtually fly like a bird in a predefined space with the Navigator System, which has successfully been used in a broad mix of features, TV shows and commercials. It begins with a series of towers, each housing computer-controlled dual winches that suspend a camera rig like a Libra or Filmotechnic Flight Head. While the demo I saw used a quartet of roughly 18-foot-tall towers, according to Fisher, the technology will work on just about any scale, even on cranes big enough to tower over the top of a football stadium.
Using a joystick, the operator can program a camera's flight anywhere through the 360-degree space. Watching a demonstration of the Navigator's capabilities reminded me of a hang glider's freedom of movement: The camera moves can be controlled on the fly, with the operator manning a joystick connected to the Navigator control system. The moves are also recorded by Navigator so they can be repeated precisely and as often as desired. You can then provide those camera moves to an FX house so the recorded footage can be easily integrated with any CG footage. If you're using one of the hot pre-visualization apps that can also simulate camera moves, that data can be fed directly into the Navigator as well, which can save a tremendous amount of time come the day of the shoot.
For the NASCAR commercial, the production did a rig where they had one crane set up in the infield and another in the parking lot, and a 2D Navigator rig was strung up between the two cranes. "We were also able to pivot the cranes so we could get a different sense of geometry on the rig," Fisher explains. This enabled Fisher and his crew to deliver several different shots, including down the track, across the crowd and directly perpendicular to the track. "We were able to get them their whole shot list with one rig in two tower days for about $30,000," he reports.
The Navigator System works just as effectively on feature films as on commercial shoots. "The difference between shooting commercials and features is that usually when we're on a feature, we're focused on getting one specific shot like a car blowing up or Spider-Man jumping off a building," says Fisher. "The commercial guys are more interested in knowing how many different shots can they get using the same rig without needing to use a different setup. We can provide them with a lot of different perspectives and ways to do the shot without having to bring in a lot of extra equipment."

Kansas City is home to a Harley-Davidson factory, where they make the Sportster, Dyna, and V-Rod. ... Okay, so I didn't know what those were, but now I do.
Nearly every day of the week, you can take a tour of the Harley-Davidson factory floor. Being female, and not exactly interested in motorcycles, I have to say the tour was actually quite interesting!

A beach isn't nearby, and it's not summer, but Papa Doo Run Run will bring the feeling of warm breezes and the roar of the ocean to Tupelo tonight.
The band, made up of Bobby "G" Gothar, Jim Rush, Jeffrey Foskett, Adrian Baker, Bo Fox and Don Zirilli, got its start in the '60s and gained notoriety for channeling the laid-back surf sound and perfect harmonies of The Beach Boys. In fact, all of the members have played with various versions of The Beach Boys over the years.
Today, Papa Doo Run Run keeps that classic rock sound going and brings its beach party-esque live show to nearly 100 cities a year.
"Maybe about half of what we do is Beach Boys (music). We do the hits, the stuff everybody wants to sing along to," Zirilli said in a phone interview with the Daily Journal from his home in, where else, California. "The other half is classic rock from the '60s and '70s. It's a beach party. Everybody leaves feeling great."
In addition to The Beach Boys, the guys of Papa Doo Run Run have also performed with Frankie Valli, Merle Haggard and Jimmy Buffett.
Papa Doo Run Run's show is a part of the Tupelo Concert Association's 2012-2013 season.
Music lovers who like to sing along with classics will enjoy the show, Zirilli said.
"We try to make people forget about everything else going on. The music we do is very, very memory-jogging. You're gonna remember being in the back seat of a Buick after the prom," he said.
Zirilli said the group is excited about coming to Tupelo and hopes to meet fans at the show.
"We're coming a day early just to see (Elvis Presley's) birthplace, so we'll do that on our day off," he said. "Everyone's invited to come see us. We're looking forward to it."
On Stage
WHAT: Papa Doo Run Run, presented by Tupelo Concert Association
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. tonight

At best, Harrisburg was looking at going into overtime.
Shelby Boer had different intentions.
The senior forward grabbed a missed free throw attempt by Lindsey Murray and made the outback with less than eight seconds to play to give Harrisburg a 52-50 win over Massac County Thursday night at Davenport Gymnasium.
And although Boer made good on the missed free throw, the entire setup was made possible by a host of Bulldog players.
Down by one with less than 20 seconds to play, Hanna Jones stepped in front of a Massac County pass, coming up with the steal and hitting Lindsey Murray on the outlet, who went to the rim and was fouled with 8 seconds to play.
Murray hit the first free throw to tie the game and then Boer made the game-winner.
"What a huge play by Hanna and a great job by Lindsey for attacking the basket and getting fouled. Shelby made a huge play for us just by playing hard. Thats what it takes to win games in this conference. (Ashley) Ferrell handled the ball all night and did a great job of getting it to where it needed to go. This was a huge win for us and our program. I couldn't be any happier for our girls."
Harrisburg did hold an eight point lead in the third quarter, thanks largely in part to putting Massac County in foul trouble in the second quarter and making eight free throws en route to outscoring the Patriots 16-11 in the second period.
"Once we get a good size lead we just have to learn how to play with it and take care of the ball," Stewart added.
Both Ferrell and Murray led Harrisburg in scoring as each finished with 11 points. Hanna Jones and Boer each tacked on seven points, while both Malayana Douglas and Whitney Younger finished with five points. Devan Jones scored four points.
The Harrisburg junior varsity team improved to 6-0 with a 51-36 victory.
Alexa Burtis led all scorers with 15 points and Kaitlyn Hutchison tacked on 12 points. Kelsey Hobbs finished with five points, while Taylor McDaniel and Hannah Walker each had four points. Brittany Reynolds tacked on three points, while Alysia McGuire, Hayley Thompson, Lilee Robinson and Brittny Banks all scored two points.
Harrisburg will host Hamilton County on Saturday with the junior varsity team kicking things off at 2 p.m.

Clippers bounce back nicely against Jazz
LOS ANGELES The Clippers wanted to come out and respond to a one-sided drubbing from the San Antonio Spurs two days earlier.
And even though it took a half to get back on track, the Clippers eventually got rolling, beating the Utah Jazz, 107-94, Saturday at Staples Center.
"The third quarter, we seemed to get into it defensively a little bit," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro said. "We were more aggressive."
After leading by just two at halftime, the Clippers blitzed the Jazz to start the second half, quickly putting the game out of reach.
Led by Blake Griffin's 12 points in the quarter, the Clippers outscored Utah, 36-20.
Griffin finished with 18 points and seven rebounds.
Griffin made an impact by air, soaring for an acrobatic "and-one" layup, and by ground, diving across the floor to keep a play alive that led to a wide-open Caron Butler 3.
Butler scored 11 of his 21 points in the third quarter as well.
"Blake's a problem," Clippers guard Chris Paul said. "He's a problem. He's so tough to defend when he's attacking the basket. You almost have to foul him."
Lamar Odom kept things rolling in the fourth quarter, as the Clippers' versatile big man got hot from the perimeter. Odom scored 18 points, the most since scoring 19 for Dallas on Jan. 21, 2012. Eleven points came in the fourth, and 16 of his 18 in the second half.
Utah was able to get the lead down to 12 in the fourth quarter thanks to 10 Clippers turnovers in the quarter. The Clippers turned the ball over 22 times Saturday.
Gordon Hayward led Utah with 23 points.
Technical difficulties
It hasn't really cost them yet, but the Clippers and Del Negro know it could.
The Clippers' emotions have occasionally run out-of-control, leading to 50 technical fouls assessed to players and coaches so far this season.
The 50 techs average out to .88 a game — most in the NBA.
Saturday, the Clippers added to that total, with Griffin and Jamal Crawford each being called for technicals.
After DeAndre Jordan and Ryan Hollins were assessed technicals Thursday night to go along with a delay-of-game technical given to the team, Del Negro was critical of his team's composure.
"We splintered a little bit with our emotions, getting technicals and delays of games and all that," he said Thursday. "We've got to grow up. We've got to grow up and understand the moment and have better habits than that.
"As you move forward, you can't give up a point here or two points there on a couple of technicals, things you can control, and expect to win at a high level."
Asked about the technicals before Saturday's game, Del Negro said his team, at times, has shown immaturity.
"We talk about it, handling the referees and growing up a little bit," he said. "Maturing in those areas is very important."
Griffin was called for his team-leading 11th technical in the second quarter Saturday night. Griffin complained to officials after not drawing a foul on consecutive possessions.
But he's not the only one.
Matt Barnes has 10 technicals fouls. Jordan has been called for eight, not counting one that was rescinded.
Crawford's picked up six, and Odom has been whistled for five. Paul, Ronny Turiaf and Del Negro have three each, Hollins has been called for two, and Butler's been given one.
After Thursday's game with San Antonio, Griffin said he knows he has to control his emotions better.
"I could've done a better job. But it gets frustrating," Griffin said. "That's no excuse; we have to be better. There are going to be games where it feels like nothing is going your way, and you have to not give up points on technicals."
Understanding the problem is one thing. Correcting it is another.
"You can't beat yourself. You just can't," Del Negro said. "That's beating yourself when you can't control your emotion."

The formal definition of "morbid obesity" is expressed in terms of body mass index (BMI), which is a ratio of height and weight. Those with a BMI of 40 or more are considered morbidly obese. Those with BMI's over 35 who have an obesity-related medical problem(s) (co-morbidities) are also considered in the morbidly obese category. BMI's in this range generally correlate to ~ 100lbs over ideal body weight.
Morbid obesity is the level at which overweight patients develop medical problems as a result of their weight. Patients at this level of obesity are at risk of developing or worsening medical problems such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease, obstructive sleep apnea, degenerative joint disease, and certain cancers. Ultimately, these patients are at higher risk of early death from all causes.
Weight reduction to the non-morbidly obese range in morbidly obese patients has been shown to correlate with decreased severity or elimination of many of the co-morbidities referenced above. There is emerging evidence that decrease in these associated medical problems is associated with longer life expectancy.
Diet and exercise regimens are still the "first line" treatment for obesity. This can be supplemented with behavioral therapy and several medicines to aid in weight loss. Though modest weight loss (10% of total body weight) has been demonstrated with non-surgical modalities, a very high rate (95%) of weight regain following diet termination is documented.
The National Institutes of Health have concluded that morbid obesity is a disease that has a negative impact on longevity. In a consensus statement originally published in 1991 the NIH stated that obesity surgery was an acceptable option in the morbidly obese patient who has failed non-surgical weight-control measures.

Very pretty boots, great color
"These boots are very pretty. They are comfortable, but I wouldn't want to walk a parade in them. The color is even nicer in person than it looks on the site. The only thing that bothers me a little about them is that the straps stick out a lot past the buckle and get caut in stuff occasionally."

|In response to Re: "Stacked Toilets" - How to vent lower toilet?
You must vent the lower toilet.
: Another question that I am sure will sound dumb to the pros. In plumbing my son's home, the second floor toilet is directly above the first floor toilet. The closet el for the second floor toilet runs directly into the main stack right behind the tank so it is simple to vent using the main stack (other vents but no fixtures tie into the main stack above the toilet). The first floor toilet could tie directly into the main stack right behind the tank as well. Can the main stack be used as a "wet" vent for this toilet or do I somehow have to have a separate vent for the toilet that ties in to the main stack above the flood level of the second floor fixtures? If I cannot do that, how are "stacked" toilets normally vented? Thanks in advance.
