Hope this helps. I check out from library on 3 different Kindle versions. BTW, for free Kindle reads look here. Make sure they are $0.00 before clicking. I use this a lot.

I will go with the limited government (reduced to the lowest level possible, state, county, city) and personal responsibility as MY definition of a conservative. Family values is a personal / moral / religious choice which no government or party has a voice in. As I personally see it, the liberal person wants more governmental control. It in My Opinion that takes responsibility from the individual and transfers it to the government. I would really like any and every candidate running for office to explain how they are going to "Make America Great" or "Give Free Education" or "Medical C

Voted way down here in most southern Texas today. I have been researching the resolutions / candidates for some time. It took about 15-20 minutes. I was second in line upon arrival and 10 minutes would have been shaved off if the election worker had not just changed out the paper on the machine that printed out you 'serial number?' and decided to hit test print about 50 times. Well, that and the scanner didn't work on my driver's license so he had to enter the ID number manually. Didn't even glance at my voter registration so I assume that my TX D.L. reported that I was registered. All in all,

Webster defines a check valve as : a valve that allows flow in only one direction. Technically true when there is potential on both sides of the check valve but not in this use since physics dictate that the bowl water will not leap up several inches of space to open the flapper (check) valve (no potential); in actual use the weight of the valve plus the weight of the tank water seals the tank from the bowl NOT the bowl to the tank. Leaking / maladjusted float valve or leaky flush/flapper/check valve is the cause of UN-intended water use in a toilet if no external, water source, leak is prese

Unrelated to the OP as that is a leak or faulty meter period. Taz, I would be interested in seeing a schematic of the toilet that has a check valve installed. The crapper has a fill valve controlled by a float and a flush valve controlled by the trip lever. Check valves are installed in the service line (or should have, my point) to prevent back flow from any source not the toilet as that would be near impossible as you pointed out just as not too long ago accumulators were required on water heaters.
-
The little red triangle on the meter indicates that there is water flowing through the meter. If it is turning back and forth it means that water is flowing both ways or the meter is defective. A 'leaky' toilet uses more than you would imagine but the meter spin would only be one way, it would not be both ways. A check valve (one way valve) is designed to allow flow in only one direction and in most places is required to prevent contamination from toilets, irrigation systems (lawn chemicals) flowing back into the water supply system. I have a well that supplies water for irrigation and it is c

I used DTV since 1993 when they were another name and volunteered to be a Beta tester on software and hardware about 10 years ago. I found that they were hands down the best in customer service and when HDTV came on the scene had the best picture hands down; I had DTV, Dish and Comcrap all at the same time to compare visually and by test. About 2 years ago I went to the then new, Genie receiver / DVR and clients and had some issues with those but CS worked with me to change out equipment. I have never paid a fee to get replacement equipment and the shipping was deducted from my bill. I will s

I own a house in Paces Lakes off Scoggins. I need a property mangement company to ensure home is kept up, repair as authorized, etc. I also need someone to make some repairs to doors, floor and other things. Also, would like to have someone I can contact for additional work on the house as they come up. I will be in town and available to meet on Tuesday afternoon the 13th. The house has been leased for the last 5 years since we transferred.

Coming back to town on business and will see my house that I have had leased out for the last 5 years. Fingers crossed.

<br /><br /><br /> Smart TVs are nothing more than TVs with the streaming app(lication) embedded within the firmware and simply means that you don't need an external device i.e. if you have a TV with the HULU, Netflix or any other app then you do not need a Roku, AppleTV or other device externally to watch that app. The OP did not question the audio and that is a WHOLE 'nother bag o'worms. If you do not have a receiver or pre/pro capable of decoding surround with the proper cabling and speaker setup you will NOT be hearing true DD /DTS discreet surround. Most source

Need more info to make an informed choice, at this stage brand is of no importance. Since you are streaming from the devices mentioned it really makes all the "special features" a mute point since neither of them stream true HD (as defined by pixels and bit rate). 1) As mentioned by another poster the room illumination is important. Can you control the light and make it really dark. That could lead to plasma but given your choice of streaming go with LCD/LED since you won't see the difference and plasma uses more energy and gets hotter causing (potentially) more failure. 2) Distance

It really doesn't matter if your child's absence was recorded as 'excused' or 'unexcused', they have missed out on information being presented in class. Doesn't make a rat's azz if it was due to sickness, snow, laziness, Aunt Matilda's second cousin's second coming to Christ or 'blaming the guvment' they missed out. If you are concerned about the WAY the absence was recorded then you have bigger problems. While I may not agree with the way my children are being taught by the unionized 'educators' who teach by mandated rules based on money received / attendance, I do make it a number ONE priori

No excusing the shooting but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD you people need to get off your cell phone and interact with humans. I constantly ask myself just what world ending epidemic or nuclear war the person sitting at a red light, weaving all over the road or standing at the check out register is preventing by being so rude. Just because you latest and greatest, double bling/bling phablet phone rings it doesn't mean you have to answer it. You simply can ignore until you are not distrubing other people. Heaven forbid that your latest BFF doesn't know that you just checked in at at Swarmy's having a 'l

Subby, in your OP you state: in there with full surround sound and all that good stuff. If you have surround sound then you indeed have an input for the SPDIF (Sony Phillips Digital Interface) coaxial or optical connection. If your "sound sound" receiver does not have these then you Do Not have surround (meaning at least a 5.1 channel output) the bandwidth required for surround cannot be carried over the typical, old school RCA jacks. Optical SPIDF can not provide any more than 5.1 so it's either coaxial or HDMI for 6.1, 7.1/2, ect.. I love Roku (have 3 of them). I also have Chromecast and

Not that I particularly think that Zillow is accurate all the time high or low, we lease ours out for $240 less then the Zillow estimate. One full month's rent goes for paying my GA state income tax yearly based solely on my income from this property as I no longer work in GA. Another 1/2 month rent for the home warranty. 3/4 month's rent or so goes for insurance. As you can see it costs me 2.25 months rent just to keep the house that is (or was last time I checked) losing value steadily.
