Amid bombings, Iraqi family celebrates a wedding and good grades
May 22, 2012 | Two daughters at university They huddle around a gas heater in the living room, where the fabric of this family has been tightly woven through shared challenges and a biting humor. Methboub, who is now sharing her bedroom with three daughters to make room for the new couple, shows it off proudly. A wedding this week Like so many Iraqis, Methboub has done so with grace, laughter, and a steadfast determination not to let the chaos outside get the better of her struggling family. So today there are many reasons to hope, from promising educations for three daughters to decent jobs for her sons. That renewal may best be symbolized by the room they repainted and prepared for oldest son Mohamed and his bride-to-be, who were wed on March 22. Methboub, the devout Shiite matriarch who has shepherded her family since her husband died in a 1990s car accident. It is a sanctuary with a carved wooden bedroom set — made in China — with matching chests of drawers, a tall wardrobe, and an expansive mirror.

Can you help me figure out a problem with my monitor heater?
May 22, 7628 by Hurkumer
I have a Toyotomi Laser 30 heater, and I keep getting the "EE 12" (High limit switch activated) error, even though the fan filter is not on the unit. Any idea what is going on?
I have a Toyotomi stove too. I found this awesome website where all the codes are there and how to fix. I downloaded all the pages and printed them in case the site ever goes down. You should do the same.

Error Code EE12
The Overheat protection switch (high limit switch) is rated at 195°F. It is located on the front top heat
shield. If the high limit switch opens, the fuel pump stops and EE12 error code will be displayed on the
digital indicator.
Causes:
1. Circulation air is blocked on the front or back of heater.
2. High limit switch is faulty (very unusual).
Hope this helps.
How often does one need to service a monitor heater?
Oct 09, 2006 by K J
There are those who say annually and those who say "when it breaks". I'm of the school that it should be serviced at least annually. A fire in your home will be much more costly in time and money.
