Forget the current government shutdown. Economists say it's the upcoming deb
t ceiling impasse that could plunge the nation into a recession.
About half of the 22 economists surveyed by CNNMoney say a recession will be
unavoidable if Congress fails to raise the nation's debt ceiling before the
Treasury runs out of cash later this month.
A couple more say a recession is possible depending on how far past the dead... 阅读全帖 |

The U.S. government appears on pace to hit the $16.394 trillion federal
borrowing limit sometime in January, a bit later than the Obama
administration had initially projected, according to recent data.
The Treasury Department reported on Friday that the government actually ran
a surplus of $75 billion in September, meaning it brought in more money than
it spent, a rarity these days. That means the government has averaged a $90
.8 billion monthly deficit over the past 12 months.... 阅读全帖 |

(CNN) – The Obama administration will formally ask Congress later this week
to raise the nation’s debt ceiling by $1.2 trillion, a Treasury Department
official tells CNN.
The latest request is the third of three requests authorized by the
contentious debt ceiling agreement reached last August and is expected to
come on December 30 – the day the debt is projected to fall within $100
billion of the current $15.194 trillion ceiling... 阅读全帖 |

instead raise its moral ceiling? After decades of rewarding bad behavior, it
is in the government’s best interest—and perhaps even its duty—to
promote the morals and values that made our nation great.
The Obama administration wants Congress to raise the debt ceiling so our
government can borrow more than the almost $14.3 trillion currently allowed
by law. Conservatives want any debt increase tied to spending cuts, and a

President Obama used the final press conference of his first term to warn
congressional Republicans that he will not negotiate with them over the debt
ceiling, saying “To even entertain the idea (of not raising the debt
ceiling), it’s absurd.”
But back 2006 Barack Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling.

刷过油漆的Ceiling修补和没过油漆的Ceiling修补有比较大的区别，特别是清除就有的
颗粒Texture, 因为刷过油漆所以不能像我之前几期在YouTube里分享的修顶的方法来清
理表面喷涂层，
这一期视频里分享的修补步骤大致如下：
一、用小批灰铲尽量清除表层已刷过油漆的旧texture,
二、用按上50号粗打磨片的打磨机打磨去填补腻子，
三、加固裂缝处的两片drywall,
四、打磨处刷上primer,
五、批上第一遍腻子，
六、等第一遍腻子干透后，批上第二遍腻子‘
七、腻子干透后喷primer或刷上primer、
八、墙体遮盖保护、
九、喷上ceiling texture
具体操作过程请在YouTube上搜索：

发帖数: 1032 | 8 今天不知怎的突然开始怀疑我地下室默认的8-foot会因为boxed ductwork让整个地下室
变低，最后只有7 feet多高。网上看了很多人对于要不要把地下室升级到9-foot
ceiling的讨论，我的builder要3K来做这个升级，思前想后还是放弃了9 feet的想法，
ductwork被包住的那块确实会比8 feet低，但其他部位还是8 feet，而且本人也就179

我发这个帖子是想表达：当你买二手房的时候，很少会关注地下室甚至一楼的高度，一

Paint your ceiling.
When ceiling paint dries completely, tape the edge of ceiling
Paint your walls
Key point: remove tape before wall paint dries completely!
Method 2:
Paint ceiling first
Paint your walls, but leave a little space next to the ceiling
Use a fine paint brush (油画笔) to fill the gap.

Which law comes first? It is the sole responsibility of the Congress to
raise the debt ceiling such that it won't conflict with the spending bill,
or cut spending during the budget process such that the debt is within the
limit during that fiscal year. My recollection is the initial intention of
debt ceiling is pretty much an alarm, call for action on the congress part
to deal with it. |
