[UC] extra 32 two panel door, anybody?
Dear neighbors, I am hoping someone has an extra two panel interior door [typically used in our houses] that they can part with. Most of us have some in our basements. :) And yes, I can trade you with 26 or 28 ones in very good shape but I REALLY need the [about] 32 one. The version with the upper panel glass is all right as well. Will pay reasonable price. Thank you for your time and consideration. Ana Kostich

I feed him twice a day and gave him my tent and some blankets to keep him warm, but he is still terrified of me. I was thinking I would try to wrangle him and get him fostered, but I really don't want to get bitten - my health insurance would not cover it, and it hurts. I have called ACCT/PSPCA everyday since Monday to pick him up. Maybe if a bunch of people call they will come get him? The number for ACCT is 267-385-3800.

[UC] Antiques burglary at 45th and Locust
I really want to report this: There was a burglary last night [around 3am] at 4528 Locust street. The house is not inhabited as the renovation work is still going on] and some construction material at the porch was a sure indicator of the status. Nevertheless, all the houses around are well occupied. The neighbor heard the noise which must have been horrendous because they kicked the front door to get in and teared the second one out of the frame [old oak with leaded glass I had remade last year]. That was the intended loot. That's all they managed to get as the neighbor called the police. I believe they are coming back for more antiques [mantles, leaded glass windows]. I know this has been going on in the neighborhood for some time. Could you please let me know of the case you know [the latest wave] so I can compile something. I am determined to recover this. It cannot disappear. Later, I'll post the picture. I appreciate any help. Have to go now and get something to try to secure the house. There is a d...@#! ring of antiques burglars and the accomplice dealers in Phila and that needs to be broken! The police came [reportedly] quickly last night but did not want to call me [the other neighbor was trying to call in their presence] nor come the house I was at [less than a block away] and did not make a report till finally just before I wrote this.

Date: Sat, 30 Aug 2008 09:19:42 -0700 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: McCain's dangerous choice Dear MoveOn member, Yesterday was John McCain's 72nd birthday. If elected, he'd be the oldest president ever inaugurated. And after months of slamming Barack Obama for inexperience, here's who John McCain has chosen to be one heartbeat away from the presidency: a right-wing religious conservative with no foreign policy experience, who until recently was mayor of a town of 9,000 people. Huh? Who is Sarah Palin? Here's some basic background: * She was elected Alaska's governor a little over a year and a half ago. Her previous office was mayor of Wasilla, a small town outside Anchorage. She has no foreign policy experience.1 * Palin is strongly anti-choice, opposing abortion even in the case of rape or incest.2 * She supported right-wing extremist Pat Buchanan for president in 2000. 3 * Palin thinks creationism should be taught in public schools.4 * She's doesn't think humans are the cause of climate change.5 * She's solidly in line with John McCain's Big Oil first energy policy. She's pushed hard for more oil drilling and says renewables won't be ready for years. She also sued the Bush administration for listing polar bears as an endangered species—she was worried it would interfere with more oil drilling in Alaska.6 * How closely did John McCain vet this choice? He met Sarah Palin once at a meeting. They spoke a second time, last Sunday, when he called her about being vice-president. Then he offered her the position.7 This is information the American people need to see. Please take a moment to forward this email to your friends and family. We also asked Alaska MoveOn members what the rest of us should know about their governor. The response was striking. Here's a sample: She is really just a mayor from a small town outside Anchorage who has been a governor for only 1.5 years, and has ZERO national and international experience. I shudder to think that she could be the person taking that 3AM call on the White House hotline, and the one who could potentially be charged with leading the US in the volatile international scene that exists today. —Rose M., Fairbanks, AK She is VERY, VERY conservative, and far from perfect. She's a hunter and fisherwoman, but votes against the environment again and again. She ran on ethics reform, but is currently under investigation for several charges involving hiring and firing of state officials. She has NO experience beyond Alaska. —Christine B., Denali Park, AK As an Alaskan and a feminist, I am beyond words at this announcement. Palin is not a feminist, and she is not the reformer she claims to be. —Karen L., Anchorage, AK Alaskans, collectively, are just as stunned as the rest of the nation. She is doing well running our State, but is totally inexperienced on the national level, and very much unequipped to run the nation, if it came to that. She is as far right as one can get, which has already been communicated on the news. In our office of thirty employees (dems, republicans, and nonpartisans), not one person feels she is ready for the V.P. position.—Sherry C., Anchorage, AK She's vehemently anti-choice and doesn't care about protecting our natural resources, even though she has worked as a fisherman. McCain chose her to pick up the Hillary voters, but Palin is no Hillary. —Marina L., Juneau, AK I think she's far too inexperienced to be in this position. I'm all for a woman in the White House, but not one who hasn't done anything to deserve it. There are far many other women who have worked their way up and have much more experience that would have been better choices. This is a patronizing decision on John McCain's part- and insulting to females everywhere that he would assume he'll get our vote by putting A Woman in that position.—Jennifer M., Anchorage, AK So Governor Palin is a staunch anti-choice religious conservative. She's a global warming denier who shares John McCain's commitment to Big Oil. And she's dramatically inexperienced. In picking Sarah Palin, John McCain has made the religious right very happy. And he's made a very dangerous decision for our country. In the next few days, many Americans will be wondering what McCain's vice-presidential choice means. Please pass this

His case is not comparable to typical dominant man carnal conquests where Bill Clinton's extramarital excursions fall which are 'victimless' crimes [two consentual adults bla bla]. Spitzer's real crime, not the hypocrisy and moral betrayal of marriage and constituence, his real crime is in enriching a criminal enterprise - point. No public official, let alone governor, is allowed to do that. Prostitution is illegal in most states of the US, and was so were he enjoyed it. He knew though that his money trail was watched more carefully, as he himself worked on tightening that. These guys are just so pathetic when they find a 'proper' situation to 'fall in love'. Someone is shotting a movie already [in Hollywood, or is it - Washingwood]. I bet this is going to be a boost for the Emperor's type establishments as the status lesser males [and aren't they Emperors too?] will not like to be left out and some competitive women with cool diplomas would realize how underpaid they are and that there are other oportunities.

Submitted for your reading pleasure. Some of the lines in the story below are priceless. Remember, you read it first here, on the popu-list, Al Krigman Woman in Spitzer Sex Scandal Identified By SERGE F. KOVALESKI and IAN URBINA, The New York Times Posted: 2008-03-13 09:22:54 NEW YORK (March 13) - She left a broken home on the Jersey Shore at 17 and came to New York City to work the nightclubs as a rhythm and blues singer. Now, at 22, she is the unwitting, and as yet unseen, star of the seamy drama that is the downfall of Gov. Eliot Spitzer of New York. [http://www.aolcdn.com/aolnews_photos/06/03/20080312204409990015] Kristen, the prostitute described in a federal affidavit as having had a rendezvous with Mr. Spitzer on Feb. 13 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, has spent the last few days in her ninth-floor apartment in the Flatiron district of Manhattan. On Monday, she made a brief appearance in federal court, where a lawyer was appointed to represent her. She is expected to be a witness in the case against four people charged with operating a prostitution ring called the Emperor’s Club V.I.P. In a series of telephone interviews on Tuesday night, she said she had slept very little over the past week, with all the stress of the case. “I just don’t want to be thought of as a monster,” the woman said as she told the tiniest tidbits of her story. Born Ashley Youmans but now known as Ashley Alexandra Dupré, she spoke softly and with good humor as she added with significant understatement: “This has been a very difficult time. It is complicated.” She has not been charged. The lawyer appointed to represent her, Don D. Buchwald, told a magistrate judge in court on Monday that she had been subpoenaed to testify in a grand jury investigation. Asked to swear that she had accurately filled out and signed a financial affidavit, she responded affirmatively. A person with knowledge of the Emperor’s Club operation confirmed that the woman interviewed by The New York Times was the woman identified as Kristen in the affidavit. Mr. Buchwald confirmed various details of Ms. Dupré’s background but would not discuss the contents of the affidavit. Ms. Dupré said by telephone Tuesday night that she was worried about how she would pay her rent since the man she was living with “walked out on me” after she discovered he had fathered two children. She said she was considering working at a friend’s restaurant or, once her apartment lease expires, moving back with her family in New Jersey “to relax.” She did not say when she had started working for the Emperor’s Club, or how often she had liaisons arranged through the ring. Asked when she met Governor Spitzer and how many times they had seen each other, Ms. Dupré said she had no comment. As of Wednesday morning, Ms. Dupré’s MySpace page recounted her “odyssey to New York from New Jersey through North Carolina, Miami, D.C., Virginia and Austin, Texas;” public records

It is Ok though to destroy the country, lie and have everybody else lie to run
into an unjust, unnecessary and unprovoked war, and keep the office but getting
involved with prostitutes is an immediate, obvious criminal offense. Many
other displays of blatant low moral standing [constant and continued] and power
abuses are tolerated to the point of becoming standard. Some are all about
playing 'catch me if you can' game. It was not this man's case.

Melani,
Yes, they have their discrepancies too: Privilege has its privileges
even when they are, in the very least, unethical. I think of Robert
Hanson, the hyper-traditional Catholic, who never did any of the naughty
things that the other men in the bureau (F.B.I.) did; instead he sold
state secrets to the Soviets resulting in billions of dollars in lost
technologies and research and lost lives. He was a true American
patriot (and Catholic) in his own mind: He hated communism,
homosexuality and, no doubt, moral relativism. I think that the Right
confuses piety with morality, while the Left confuses correctness
with justice. Both sides exalt the ideal form rather than the messy
substance of the real. You can do this when you're up their on the
summit of privilege - whether in academia, politics, business or religion.

RE: [UC] Dance floor and live entertainment
Well, singing and dancing for hospital related extended stays - is surely an interesting moment. That must be a proven method for dropping off the worries the loved ones of the sick people [and children!] do when they are majorly stressed. Penn should be ashamed of this one. For once? It is surely more cost effective to work on owned land than to pay [a few mils] for the site that would both serve their purposes and allow them to express those purposes openly as well as to contribute to the neighborhood. There are blocks on commercial streets a little more west that would happily absorb all of that. They could have a hotel equipped for longer stays for parents, visiting scholars and students, hospital related guests and whoever else [and there are 'else'] for whatever duration, as it is supposed to be with the right to turn suites into whatever and - could bring something of value to the wider neighborhood. There is nothing wrong with Chestnut Street further west. There is something Potemkin villages like in this whole elitist, egotistic scheme. One thing, Hilton has nothing to do with any of this. That's a brand, like many other possible ones simply bought by the developer to attract guests. The brand is promised that the new hotel with their name would be at the standard they have set for that brand which in turn serves as a 'guarantee' to wide groups of possible users. Could have been many others.

Like the forgetful Spruce Hill zoning committee, Lussenhop forgot to tell us this until it was revealed in the REAL DATA, which we can analyze. Neighbors, the extended stay label is simply an industry term. It describes rooms with microwaves, etc. It has nothing to do with the actual length of stay for guests. Hilton will maximize profits by having overnight guests paying higher rates. All of the data the developers continue to thrust on us is to deceive us. The first report by the Daily Pennsylvanian was our first clue and the dance floor simply confirms the Hilton business plan. The DP called the hotel a less expensive option for Penn parents. It’s total crap that people flying in from Alabama to stay by their family’s bedside will come back to the hotel for dancing and live entertainment. As one of our neighbors pointed out, they will stay near the airport since they can’t afford upscale hotels. The hotel will be used for overnight guests and parties after Penn football games, etc. It will be used for parents to drive in to visit their kids in Campus Apts. All hotels have extended stay options. The data Lussenhop is providing (at what one neighbor called dog and pony shows) are called red herrings. No cars, limos, or taxis will ever be an issue for neighbors according to Lussenhop data. Neighbors, Penn closes down streets and tows residents’ cars, as it pleases, to serve its clients. On St. Patrick day, Penn closes down streets near the bars for the drunken student orgies. When Judy Rodin gave a speech in Clark Park in the late ‘90s, I was luckily sitting on my front porch when the tow trucks came. Without notice, tow trucks removed people’s cars so that the limos and SUV’s could roll in for her speech. After Penn football games, some of the hotel guests will have parties. It’s not just the 120 cars that will roll in that day, but the hundreds of guests rolling in for the parties and dancing. I have no doubt that the Penn police will close the street to locals and start the towing. Just watch what happens on 39th St between Walnut and Chestnut on St Patrick’s day! We know, without doubt, that we can’t trust these developers because they have tried so hard to eliminate our voices from this process. But let’s look at the real data. Right on the rejected zoning application, everyone can see that Penn refused to tell us about the dance floor and upscale shows. One of our neighbors pointed out that if the guests turn out to be upscale gentlemen, the live entertainment might very well be girly shows. Stay strong neighbors, Glenn _ Climb to the top of the charts! Play the word scramble challenge with star power.
RE: [UC] Helping a neighbor...
I do not know the owners but I stopped while passing [slowed down driving by to annoyance of others] to first wonder and then admire the work they've done with the gate and parking. Thoughtful, contemporary and contextual - as it should be. Ana, Ph.D Architecture [Penn] From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2008 17:04:25 -0500 Subject: [UC] Helping a neighbor... To: UnivCity@list.purple.com Does anyone know Jeffrey Heit and Luisa Boverini of 224 St Marks Square? They are applying to Construct rear deck, cut door, and legalize gate and parking area on their house. Because of the historic designation, they will appear before what we have learned are the irrelevant preliminary Grand Inquisitors, formerly known as the Historical Commission's Architectural Committee, this coming Tuesday, 11:15 am, Room 578 City Hall.

[UC] RE: Competent and Reliable Plumper
Oh, that's just a person who plumps. If he/she plumps right the first time then he/she is a reliable plumper. The result of plumping is - a plump, which can be both competent and reliable, competent but not reliable, not competent but reliable or none of these in which cases it is dubbed accordingly CR plump, C plump, R plump or non-CR plump. Consequently, the object that plumps is also a plumper. They are innately incapable of reliability but they are all highly competent. That quality is unexplicably always credited to the person who plumps though. That simple. You didn't know?

[UC] RE: Competent and Reliable Plumper
Also, my favorite plumber [and I know a bunch] is Daine Barett. A little busy [works himself] but worth waiting for espacially if the job is big. Loves cast iron. His prices are always better [especially if you say that I recommended him] and he is just great. 610.986 8055 Ana _ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging.

[UC] Work for Larry?
Dear neighbors, I and another neighbor-friend have been employing Larry Haris, a Bethesda project person, for at least four years now on various, mostly construction related, projects. We have not had work for him for a few months at least and he is suffering from it. We wonder [hope, is better] if he could help some of you on your smaller[or extended] projects while he is looking for another more regular work [he injured his back at last 'regular' work]. He is generally reliable, good at demolition, trash removal and anything repetitive but he is not independent mechanic. He patiently torch scraped paint off of my porch, sorted old tiles for a bathroom remodel etc. He is a good basic helper. Could do simple restaurant work [Vincent/Roger?] or pull the trash cans out and back on trash days for a bunch of neighbors for a little weekly/monthly fee [?]. Can work per hour [$8-9] or per job which I'll be willing to asses with you and instruct him initially.
