Pali Crib for Sale

Posted by: "Lucy Roberts" lucysmiles99@yahoo.com   lucysmiles99

Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:08 pm (PDT)

This Pali Crib (with Mattress included!) is in excellent condition. It
is a light wood with a bottom pull out drawer on metal rollers. All the
hardware is included and in excellent condition. My husband and I have
put this together ourselves in a few minutes in two separate rooms
since we have owned it and it is very easy to assemble and
disassemble.
When we bought these 2 items new they were the highest rated crib and
mattress- it still carries an "A" rating from the Baby Bargain Book.
The crib has been in a smoke free pet free home.

Please email or call Lucy at lucysmiles99@yahoo.com or 202-362-2687 if
you are interested and I can privide photos and more details.

Recommendation for HVAC

Posted by: "Lotte Lent" lottelent@starpower.net

Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:08 pm (PDT)

I recently had the free DC energy audit via Pepco- had to wait many, many weeks to have it scheduled, but it was excellent - and I'm curious to know if anyone in the 'hood has had a good experience and can recommend someone to provide and install a HVAC (Heat Vent Air Conditioner). I'm hoping to get three estimates from different companies if possible. Thanks!

From Chief Cathy Lanier, MPD, on handgun ruling

Posted by: "OFC K. A. SODIMU--MPDC--4D--PSA-401" mpdc2368@comcast.net   mpdc2368

Fri Jun 27, 2008 7:03 am (PDT)

From: Lanier, Cathy (MPD)
Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 6:35 PM
Subject: Supreme Court Update

Residents,

Unfortunately, the Supreme Court today struck down part of the District of Columbia's handgun ban. I wanted to drop you a note to let you know the immediate impact of this decision.

The Supreme Court's ruling is limited and leaves intact various other laws that apply to private residents who would purchase handguns or other firearms for home possession. It is important that everyone know that:

a.. First, all firearms must be registered with the Metropolitan Police Department's Firearms Registration Section before they may be lawfully possessed.

a.. Second, automatic and semiautomatic handguns generally remain illegal and may not be registered.

a.. Third, the Supreme Court's ruling is limited to handguns in the home and does not entitle anyone to carry firearms outside his or her own home.

Lastly, although the Court struck the safe storage provision on the ground that it was too broadly written, in my opinion firearms in the home should be kept either unloaded and disassembled or locked.

I will comply with the Court's reading of the Second Amendment in its letter and spirit. At the same time, I will continue to vigorously enforce the District's other gun-related laws. I will also continue to find additional ways to protect the District's residents against the scourge of gun violence.

Residents who want additional information can visit the Metropolitan Police Website at www.mpdc.dc.gov/gunregistration. Residents with questions are encouraged to contact the Firearms Registration Section at 202-727-9490.

Sincerely,
Cathy Lanier
Chief of Police
