BB Code
BB code is a set of tags based on the HTML language that you may already be familiar with. They allow you to add formatting to your messages in the same way as HTML does, but have a simpler syntax and will never break the layout of the pages you are viewing. The ability to use BB code is set on a forum-by-forum basis by the administrator, so you should check the forum rules when you post a new message.
Below is a list of the BB code tags you can use to format your messages.
BB Code List
Incorrect BB Code Usage:
Bold / Italic / Underline
The [b], [i] and [u] tags allow you to create text that is bold, italic and underlined.
The [color] tag allows you to change the color of your text.
The [size] tag allows you to change the size of your text.
The [font] tag allows you to change the font of your text.
Left / Right / Center
The [left], [right] and [center] tags allow you to change the alignment of your text.
The [indent] tag allows you to indent your text.
Email Linking
The [email] tag allows you to link to an email address. You can include an optional parameter to 'name' your link.
URL Hyperlinking
The [url] tag allows you to link to other websites and files. You can include an optional parameter to 'name' your link.
Thread Linking
The [thread] tag allows you to link to threads by specifying the thread id. You can include an optional parameter to 'name' your link.
Post Linking
The [post] tag allows you to link to posts by specifying the post id. You can include an optional parameter to 'name' your link.
Bulleted Lists
The [list] tag allows you to create simple, bulleted lists without specifying an option. Within the value portion, each bullet is denoted by the [*] tag.
Advanced Lists
The [list] tag allows you to create advanced lists by specifying an option. The option should have a value of 1 (for a numbered list) or A (for an alphabetic with capital letters list) or a (for an alphabetic with lowercase letters list) or I (for a numbered with capital Roman numeral list) or i (for a numbered with small Roman numeral list).
The [img] tag allows you to embed images within your posts. You can also combine this tag with the [url] tag to make images become links.
The [video] tag allows you to embed videos from various video services within your posts.
The [code] tag switches to a fixed-width (monospace) font and preserves all spacing.
PHP Code
The [php] tag performs the same function as the [code] tag, but also adds syntax highlighting for PHP code. Although it is designed for PHP, it may correctly highlight some other C-like languages.
HTML Code
The [html] tag allows you to perform syntax highlighting for HTML code.
The [quote] tag allows you to attribute text to someone else.
The [highlight] tag allows you to emphasize your text.
Stop BB Code Parsing

There are many reasons why dental implants may be right for you. When looking into tooth replacement, consider the following attributes of dental implants:
To begin the dental implant process you should first make an appointment with a licensed dentist. The friendly staff at Mulvane Family Dentistry is ready to take your call and answer any questions you may have about the process. We will create a personal treatment plan for you based on your specific situation.
Dental implants should be treated just like your real teeth. It is important to brush, floss, rinse with ADA approved mouthwash, and schedule dental check-ups regularly. This will keep your implants and teeth looking great and working well.
Give us a call at (316) 777-1151 or send an email to email@example.com to set up a consultation so we can help you decide if dental implants are the right move for you.

Engineered stone floor care and warranty guide
Engineered Stone… The right choice for you…
Engineered Stone is crafted from real limestone and available in real stone and unique textures, but it is warmer and softer underfoot than traditional tile.
Engineered Stone can be installed on floors and walls in any room, on all grades. But most importantly it can be installed in areas of high moisture.
Our Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® Signature Brand
Engineered Stone Flooring Care and Maintenance
With the easy maintenance of an engineered stone floor, there is no cause for concern when it comes to spots, spills, or scuffs left by shoes. By observing a few precautions and following proper care and maintenance guidelines, you can ensure that your floor always looks its best.
For general cleaning, sweep your floor regularly (at least once a week) and be sure to wipe up spills promptly. Occasional mopping with Armstrong® Once 'n Done® Resilient Floor Cleaner or other manufacturer recommended cleaning solutions may be needed when dirt builds up and sweeping alone is not sufficient. Please note that soap or detergent products are not recommended for engineered stone floors, as they will leave a dulling film on the surface.
If some dulling occurs over time, depending on the amount of traffic, care and maintenance the floor receives, use Armstrong Satinkeeper® Polish to return your floor's original shine.
Caution: Engineered stone floors can be slippery when they become wet. Use extreme caution when walking on a wet floor. Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil, asphalt, and driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use non-staining vinyl-backed mats or woven rugs that are colorfast on your floor. Do not put rubber-backed, latex-backed, or coco fiber mats on your floor because they may stain or damage the surface.
Do not use detergents, abrasive cleaners, abrasive scrubbing tools, or "mop and shine" products that may leave a dull film on your floor. Do not use paste wax or solvent-based polishes. Do not use grout sealers on the floor or the grout. Do not use floor strippers for cleaning either the grout or your engineered stone floor. Floor strippers will degrade the acrylic grout. Do not use a beater bar when vacuuming because it can visibly damage the floor surface. Be careful with rolling casters. They can damage the floor. We do not recommend the use of rolling casters.
Close your curtains or blinds where extreme sunlight hits the floor. A combination of heat and sunlight causes most home furnishings, including engineered stone floors, to fade or discolor.
Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining metal, plastic or felt floor protectors. Make sure any floor protectors made of metal are rustproof. Make sure any floor protectors made of plastic are made of non-pigmented hard plastic. Ideally, the protectors should be at least one inch in diameter and rest flat on the floor. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item, the wider the floor protector needed.
When moving appliances or heavy furniture, lay a plywood panel on your floor and "walk" the item across it. This protects your floor from scuffing and tears.
Cleaning Stains
Be sure to clean up all spills as quickly as possible. The overall stain resistance of engineered stone flooring is excellent, and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with a clean white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a little extra effort. Always use a clean, white cloth for wiping up stains, and turn it frequently to avoid spreading the stain. Rinse with clean water and allow area to dry. Repeat if necessary.
Exclusive Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® Five-Star Engineered Stone Floor Warranties
The Five-Star Selection System is an independent rating system designed to guide you in choosing the right floor for your needs. One to five stars indicate levels of performance and durability to ensure your satisfaction. Look for the Star Rating on all product labels.
Confidence Plus™ Warranty
Our Five-Star engineered stone floors carry a Confidence Plus™ Warranty. If, within the time frame of this warranty (90 days after installation and living on your floor for 30 days), you wish to change your new floor for any reason, your retailer will replace it with another style or color of flooring of equal value. Should you wish to replace the engineered stone floor with a flooring upgrade, you may do so by paying the difference in price. No monetary compensation will be paid if a lower priced engineered stone floor is selected.
This is a one-time only replacement. Simply call your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer within the time frame of the warranty and indicate you wish to choose another Star Rated engineered stone floor under the Confidence Plus™ Warranty. This is a style and color replacement warranty and does not apply to matters covered by other warranties.
Replacement includes material and labor. Labor to move furniture, permanent construction (built-ins such as cabinets and bookcases), equipment, or electronics is the responsibility of the customer. Any replacement product cannot be the same style and color as the original purchase.
No replacement will be made with respect to an engineered stone floor that has been subjected to abuse, improper maintenance, vandalism, alteration, or damage caused by smoke, fire, flood, wind, lightning, or any other casualty event. This warranty applies only to the original purchaser of a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® style engineered stone floor that has been professionally installed by a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer or Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® authorized independent installer.
The Confidence Plus™ Warranty does not apply to grout selection.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
Price Protection Guarantee
Our buying power allows us to buy big and pass volume-purchase savings directly on to you. We feel confident that our prices are the most competitive in the market and assure you that you will not find a lower price at any other floor covering retailer in your area. However, if within 30 days of making your purchase, you should happen to find a lower Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® first quality product of the same brand and styles as the flooring you purchased, we will happily refund your money. It's our Price Protection Guarantee, and it's simple. Just present your retailer with the competitor's advertisement or written estimate for the same floor, and you take home the difference in price! Price Protection applies to materials only.
Price Protection Guarantee applies only to local retail store pricing and/or purchases. Online retailers and Wholesalers are excluded. "Local retail store" is defined as a permanent building/structure containing outdoor signage with store name, street address, customer parking, and phone contact information listed in a public phone directory.
See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
Limited Wear Warranty
Providing that your floor is used in a residential setting under normal residential traffic* conditions and with proper care and maintenance, your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer warrants that from the date of the original installation the finish of your engineered stone floor will not wear-through for the period specified by the warranty level of the product purchased. See page 50 for details of warranty terms. Wear-through is defined as complete loss of the wear layer so that the printed pattern is altered. Gloss reduction is not considered wear and is not covered by this warranty. Surface wear must be readily visible, approximately 1/2" square or greater. Life of Floor" means the length of the Limited Wear Warranty specified by the warranty level corresponding to the Engineered Stone you purchased. (See warranty information Exclusive Flooring America/Flooring Canada Five-Star Downs Engineered Stone Floor Warranties on page 50 for further details.)
Should you feel that your engineered stone floor is not wearing properly, contact your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer. If the image layer of your engineered stone floor wears through during the warranty period, your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer will repair or replace the affected area. This Limited Wear Warranty applies only to the original purchaser and installation site and is not transferable. This limited warranty excludes damage caused by improper care and maintenance; misuse, abrasives, insufficient protection from furniture or furniture moving; damage caused by vacuum cleaner beater bars and metal caster wheels; wet or steam mopping, scratches, or indentations caused by spiked-heel shoes and pet nails; or any casualty event.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
*Normal residential traffic conditions mean those daily activities commonly associated with residential use.
Limited Stain Resistance Warranty
Engineered stone floors come close to being maintenance-free and are extremely resistant to stains. All Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® engineered stone floors carry a stain resistance warranty guaranteeing that, with proper care and maintenance, your floor will not permanently stain from common household use for the period of warranty coverage. Excluded from "common household use" is the use of any caustic chemicals on your floor, the use of any unapproved manufacturer cleaning solution on your floor, or exposure of the floor to other substances not part of ordinary household use. Mustard, asphalt driveway sealer, and iodine stains are also excluded from this stain warranty, as those items will permanently stain engineered stone floors. Fading from exposure to either sunlight or artificial light is not considered staining and thus is not covered by this limited stain resistance warranty.
See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
Limited Rip, Tear, Gouge, and Indent Warranty
Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® warrants that with proper care and maintenance, your engineered stone floor will not contract, expand, curl, crack, rip, tear, or gouge from normal household use when proper maintenance is used.*
This warranty excludes coverage for damage caused by moving appliances or heavy furniture without protecting the floor. When moving appliances, heavy furniture, or other heavy objects, place a sheet of plywood on the floor and "walk" the appliance across it. Furniture glides are also an acceptable method of moving appliances, heavy furniture or other heavy objects. Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor protectors. Ideally, protectors should be at least one inch in diameter (the heavier the item the wider the floor protector should be), made of non-pigmented hard plastic and should rest flat on the floor. Use of non-staining felt is also acceptable. Always protect floor by using an appliance dolly even if the heavy object is equipped with wheels or rollers.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
*Normal household use is defined as common daily activities in the home, excluding pets.
Limited Water Resistance Warranty
When installed following manufacturer's instructions, your engineered stone floor will resist water damage under normal use for the length of the warranty, including damages caused by damp mopping and topical spills that are promptly removed.
This warranty excludes all casualty events resulting in water coming in contact with your floor and failures normally covered by homeowners insurance, including, but not limited to, damages caused by flooding or standing water from leaky pipes, faucets, or household appliances. Also excluded are damages caused by flooding or standing water from hydrostatic pressure or other casualty events.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
Limited Installation Warranty
Your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer guarantees the quality of installation workmanship to be professional and in keeping with the standards set by the industry. Should further service be required, attributable to the original installation of your engineered stone floor, your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer will return and provide that service at no cost to you for the life of the floor. "Life of Floor" means the length of the Limited Wear Warranty specified by the warranty level corresponding to the engineered stone floor you purchased (see page 50 for details of warranty terms). This Limited Installation Warranty applies only to the original purchaser and installation site and is not transferable. This Limited Installation Warranty applies only to engineered Stone purchased from a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer and installed by a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer or Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® authorized independent installer.
(See General Terms and Conditions on pages below for other conditions that apply.)
Limited Light Commercial Warranty
For light commercial installations (example: common areas in multi-unit dwellings and low-traffic retail shops), the product is warranted to be free from manufacturing defects for 5 years from the date of purchase. If a defect covered by this warranty is reported to your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer in writing within 5 years of purchase, supplier will provide new material of the same or similar grade sufficient to repair or replace the defective material. Also, all of the various residential warranties detailed above will apply for a period of five years from the date of installation. A No Questions Asked materials-only replacement warranty will be in effect for 60 days from the date of installation for any light commercial installation.
General Terms and Conditions
In addition to the requirements specified for each respective limited warranty, the following general terms and conditions apply to each of the limited warranties unless otherwise specified.
These limited warranties apply only to engineered stone flooring installed in owner-occupied residential spaces where no commercial activity takes place.
The terms of the warranty begin on the date of installation.
These limited warranties apply only to the original purchaser and installation site and are not transferable.
These limited warranties exclude engineered stone flooring that has been put to abnormal use or conditions or abused in any way.

To qualify for repair or replacement, the original sales receipt or other documentation which demonstrates proof of purchase must be supplied.
These warranties apply only to residential installations performed by a Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer or Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® authorized independent installer.

The foregoing warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state or province to province.
If there is a conflict between these general terms and conditions and the limited warranties as specified, the limited warranties as specified shall control.
Should you feel that your engineered stone floor is not performing according to the terms in this warranty, contact your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer. This warranty is conditioned upon your Flooring America®/Flooring Canada® retailer's receipt of notice in writing of the alleged issue prior to expiration of the limited warranty period and evidence that the floor was properly installed and not subject to any of the conditions herein defined to void the conditions of the warranty. These warranties apply on the condition that installation and regular and preventive maintenance have been carried out as recommended in this guide.
NOTE: Certain restrictions may apply. See your retailer for more specific information concerning the recommended cleaning methods for your specific engineered stone floor.

The first trailer for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald just dropped, a sequel to 2016's successful Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. As per the promo copy,
At the end of the first film, the powerful dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald was captured by MACUSA (Magical Congress of the United States of America), with the help of Newt Scamander. But, making good on his threat, Grindelwald escaped custody and has set about gathering followers, most unsuspecting of his true agenda: to raise pure-blood wizards up to rule over all non-magical beings.
In an effort to thwart Grindelwald's plans, Albus Dumbledore enlists his former student Newt Scamander, who agrees to help, unaware of the dangers that lie ahead. Lines are drawn as love and loyalty are tested, even among the truest friends and family, in an increasingly divided wizarding world.
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is out November 16th.

I was sent a link to a newish American bike brand today. Civia Cycles. I like the look of the ride. Above is their Loring model. Very cool, very European in style, lovely lines and functionality - they forgot the chain guard, but hey... First impression: cool stuff. Very cool.
On the Loring page there is even a little gallery of photos featuring photos, like the one above, of regular people on these regular bikes in an urban setting - refreshingly helmetless, too.
Lovely. First impression just got better.
And then...
I find this page on their website:
Featuring Sub-Arctic Extreme Bike Ridin' Dude-o-rama Rock and Roller! I seriously thought it was a joke. Have a look at the Clothing/Weather page here.
They're crafting fine bicycles for relaxing urban use and then they have a whole page with this crap. And this text:
"And lastly, we state the obvious: these are only suggestions. You must ultimately use your own best judgment when dressing for a ride. So remember, when it's cold, skin does freeze, and when it's hot, heat stroke can kill."
And lightning DOES strike during storms and tsunamis CAN hit your coastline after distant earthquakes and mixing beer and wine CAN cause hangovers...
It's just ridiculous. They should really have a little corporate powwow and figure out what it is they want to sell. I just don't understand. Or have a long read of the promoting cycling tag here on the blog.
What's more, they offer up 13 photos of 'dressing' for every weather condition from Dry 100º to Dry -20º and Wet 30º to Wet 100º but they haven't bothered with, for example, Wet -20º - which is what we call SNOW.
Not even in northern Sweden, in cities with 25% bike usage in the dead of winter do you see people dressed like the Rambo guy on the website. Sheesh. Not to mention the fact that Rambo would look so bloody stupid on one of their lovely bikes with the cool wooden box at the front.
And with the harsh winters over the past two years in Northern Europe, people still just ride - infrastructure or not - in the clothes in their closet. Instead of 'following the money' to the products so eagerly sold by the sports industry. Useless, pointless overcomplication of urban cycling that risks alienating newcomers to urban cycling by telling them they need fancy, geeky winter 'gear'.
This is NOT how to sell urban cycling to the masses. This is sub-cultural marketing.
Regarding cold weather, here are some pickings from the Copenhagen Cycle Chic archives. Featuring cyclists that would actually look great on their Loring bikes above.
UPDATE: Here are some photos of snowstorm citizen cyclists who HAVEN'T been sucked into buying "winter cycling clothes" who who just wear the same clothes as when walking around the city.

Useful as standard commercial insurance policies may be, they aren't always adequate for the specific risks that a garage repair shop faces.
Use the yellow hot spots and explore how garage repair shop insurance can help protect against common risks.
Your repair shop may be susceptible to many risks, such as claims due to bodily injury, property damage, personal injury, and more. For example, if a customer accidentally trips and falls while on the premises of your repair shop, you can become exposed to a potential lawsuit and held financially responsible for any injuries that result from the accident.
Commercial general liability insurance is an absolute necessity for every repair shop. This type of protection provides broad coverage for premises, operations, completed operations and advertising, and personal injury. It will also pay to defend any covered lawsuit or action regardless of its merit. Coverage can be purchased as a separate policy and can be tailored to your specific needs.
When a gas tank explosion causes an uncontrollable fire, your commercial property and everything within it can suffer a significant loss. This can have a detrimental effect on your repair shop business.
Commercial property insurance can help protect the property your business owns or leases, including things like equipment, inventory, furniture, and fixtures. Whether you own your building or lease your workspace, commercial property insurance can be purchased separately or can be combined with other necessary coverage to protect your business' physical assets.
The nature of your business means you're responsible for valuable cars, trucks, and other automobiles. As a repair shop owner, you're trusted to safeguard vehicles belonging to others. This responsibility brings with it potential liability of being held financially responsible for property damage caused to these vehicles while in your care, custody, and control.
You should purchase physical damage coverage, referred to as garagekeepers coverage, designed to help you protect your customers' property and your business in the event that accidents, injuries, or property damage occurs. This protection covers the costs that arise from unfortunate and unforeseeable events, not bad workmanship, faulty parts, or warranties.
You're constantly moving your tools from one area of your repair shop to another, exposing your business to potential loss due to damage or theft. And without your specialized tools and equipment, your repair job may come to a screeching halt.
You can purchase special equipment insurance designed to protect your tools and equipment on the move. The policy will cover equipment for a variety of losses, including fire, explosion, vandalism, theft, collision with other equipment or objects, and overturning.
If one of your employees receives an injury or becomes ill due to a work-related occurrence, you are required by law to have the proper coverage in place.
Workers' compensation protects your employees should a job-related injury or sickness occur during the course of employment. This coverage is required by law and may vary by area, so be sure that you understand your obligations for all physical locations where your business operates in and all physical locations where you hire your employees.
As a repair shop owner, you have many exposures associated with your business vehicles–owned or leased. With a fleet of cars, trucks, vans, or other types of vehicles used in the course of business, a single accident can potentially put your business in financial jeopardy.
Business auto insurance provides coverage for vehicles owned or leased by a repair shop and provides coverage for bodily injury, property damage, and other exposures, and could include comprehensive and collision coverage as well.
Losses and lawsuits are quite common in the repair shop business, and settlements can be substantial. If your business is found to be responsible for damage or injury, you could be facing a large liability loss that exceeds the basic limits of your standard policy.
You should consider purchasing a commercial umbrella insurance policy which provides higher limits, typically between $2,000,000 and $10,000,000, and often broadened coverages. Coverage is extended over various policies, including general liability insurance, business auto, and directors and officers liability insurance.
At the simplest level, you need to be protected against damage to customer vehicles stored on your premises, whether this be from fire, vandalism, theft or other hazards. You might only be doing a couple of hundred dollars worth of work on a car, but if you have to spend tens of thousands replacing it, the effects could cripple your business.
You should also investigate professional liability coverage that protects you against claims for damage to a car caused by mistakes and/or omissions by your staff. In extreme circumstances, this could include not just the cost of fixing the flawed repairs, but also costs that arise from a crash that's blamed on the faulty repair.
Remember also to look for coverage for lost income. If you have a fire, it's not much use having an insurer pay all the costs of rebuilding the workshop if you lose all your customers in the meantime and your cash flow is irretrievably damaged.
To protect your garage repair shop, contact us today.

Missouri drivers will see changes in their driver's licenses beginning this year.
The Department of Revenue says new licenses will have security features such as special printing, laser perforations and bar codes. The state says the changes are designed to protect the owner's identity and fight fraud.
The state also plans to issue temporary licenses at licenses offices, and drivers will receive their permanent licenses in the mail seven to 10 days later.
And drivers under the age of 21 will get vertical licenses.
The revenue department says the new licenses will be phased in by April and will be provided at no extra cost.

Answering Obama, Boehner complained that the president was "steamrolling ahead" with the implementation of the nation's new health care law. As the government operated sporadically, the stock market sank to its lowest level in nearly a month.
The shutdown was clearly leaving its mark. The National Transportation Safety Board wasn't sending investigators to Tennessee to probe a deadly church bus crash that killed eight people and sent 14 others to the hospital. The Labor Department said it wouldn't release the highly anticipated September jobs report on Friday because the government remains shuttered.
Outside the Capitol, shots rang out at midafternoon bringing an already tense Congress under lockdown, a nerve-wracking moment in a city still recovering from a Sept. 16 mass shooting at the Navy Yard. Authorities and witnesses said a woman tried to ram her car through a White House barricade then led police on a chase that ended in gunfire and her death outside the Capitol more than 1 mile away.
Despite the heated political rhetoric, some signs of a possible way out of the shutdown emerged. But the state of play remained in flux.
Two House Republicans said Boehner told them he would allow a House vote on restarting the entire government - but only if conservative GOP lawmakers assured him they would not attack it for failing to contain curbs on the health care law. So far they have been unwilling to give that commitment. The two spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal details of private discussions.
The shutdown and the approaching debt ceiling were merging into one confrontation, raising the stakes for the president and Congress as well as for the economy.
Obama and his Treasury Department said that failure to raise the nation's borrowing limit, expected to hit its $16.7 trillion cap in mid-October, could precipitate an economic nosedive worse than the Great Recession. A default could cause the nation's credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest rates to skyrocket, according to the Treasury report.
Obama catalogued a litany of troubles that could be caused by the failure to raise the debt ceiling, from delayed Social Security and disability checks to worldwide economic repercussions. "If we screw up, everybody gets screwed up," he said.
The speaker's office reiterated Boehner's past assertion that he would not let the United States default on its debt. "But if we're going to raise the debt limit, we need to deal with the drivers of our debt and deficits," his spokesman, Michael Steel, said. "That's why we need a bill with cuts and reforms to get our economy moving again."
Conservatives have insisted that either reopening the government or increasing the debt ceiling must be accompanied by a measure that either delays or defunds the nation's new health care law. Absent those concessions, Republicans want cuts in spending, savings in major benefit programs and an overhaul of the tax system.
Obama, for his part, firmly restated his opposition to a negotiation.
"You don't get to demand some ransom in exchange for keeping the government running," he said tartly. "You don't get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the economy running."
Looking to deflect the Democratic finger-pointing on the shutdown, the Republican-controlled House pushed a pair of bills through the House on Thursday restoring money to veterans' programs and to pay National Guard and Reserve members. House leaders also have scheduled a vote on legislation backed by some of the chamber's top Democrats to give federal workers furloughed in the ongoing partial shutdown their missed pay when the government reopens.
That vote could come as early as Friday or over the weekend.
Senate Democrats made clear they will not agree to reopening the government on a piecemeal basis. "You can't fall for that legislative blackmail or it will get worse and worse and worse," said Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York.
Speaking at a construction company in Washington's Maryland suburbs Thursday, Obama cast Boehner as a captive of a tight group of conservative Republicans who want to extract concessions in exchange for passing a short-term spending bill that would restart the partially shuttered government.
"The only thing preventing people from going back to work and basic research starting back up and farmers and small business owners getting their loans, the only thing that is preventing all that from happening right now, today, in the next five minutes is that Speaker John Boehner won't even let the bill get a yes or no vote because he doesn't want to anger the extremists in his party," Obama said.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was even more pointed in singling Boehner out.
"We can't perform the most basic functions of government because he doesn't have the courage to stand up to that small band of anarchists," he said.
Moderate Republicans have said they think they could provide enough votes to join with minority Democrats and push a bill through the House reopening the government with no restrictions on the health care law. But under pressure from House GOP leaders, they failed to join Democratic efforts on Wednesday aimed at forcing the chamber to consider such legislation.
Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., who is close to Boehner, said he doesn't think the speaker is ready to push any measure that would fail to win the backing of most of his 232 House Republicans. But some Democratic votes eventually will be needed in the 435-seat chamber, Cole said, because some hard-core conservative Republicans are unlikely to vote to end the shutdown or raise the debt ceiling without major concessions from Obama.
"You can't ask those Republicans to just put their political life on the line for nothing," he said. "They've got to be able to go home and say 'These are the things that I was able to do.'"
Even the Senate chaplain got drawn into the rising intensity of the partisan battle, opening Thursday's session with an unusually pointed prayer.
"Deliver us from the hypocrisy of attempting to sound reasonable while being unreasonable," said Dr. Barry Black. "Remove the burdens of those who are the collateral damage of this government shutdown."
And in a bit of sardonic understatement, Obama's motorcade passed workers outside an office building holding up a sign that simply asked, "Rough week?"
