Heat pump needing natural gas backup?
I am replacing an old oil furnace with a heat pump. One company that has given us a quote is strongly suggesting having a hybrid system which uses natural gas as a backup. They say heat pump will not suffice for us when the temperature is lower than around 30, and that the heat pump air is much 'cooler' coming out.
A second company is telling us a heat pump will suffice just fine, with the backup being electric heat coils in the handler.
Of course, the heat pump by itself is pricing out quite a bit cheaper than the hybrid system, and will not require us to bring in a NG line (which would be free, just some drilling from the street).
My question is, do we really need natural gas as a backup for those lower temperatures?
Some specifics: I live in North Carolina, and while we have had some cold winter recently, they are nothing like those in the north. The house is 2200 square feet, split-level.
Thank you for any advice on this.
NC is a big state. I am a broken record because I say this all the time. Asheville vs the coast are worlds apart. I live in Cary and have a hybrid system and a heat pump. The hybrid is better and worth it for a few reasons but not for saving money.
I have more area than you heated with a hybrid system and the annual savings is just about what the gas maintenance charge is (but I needed the gas for other things). Cheapest run cost is usually heat pump but I know plenty of people with outrageous bills that hate their heat pumps. The quality of the install and the tightness of the house and then the unit itself. All are factors. My winter electric is about $200 a month for Dec/Jan and down to $150 for Feb/Mar. Other use is probably $80 so $500 a year or so. Then about $200 in NG for 5000 sqft total. Not bad but I know people with $500 a month bills for 3000 sqft. Last winter my gas use was only $120 because it was so warm (despite a really cold spell for a week or so).
Just a climate comment - we have not had a cold winter in many years. Talk to the old timers, NC used to be much colder. I had a 18 year old palm tree in my last house and they never used to survive more than 5 because of the winters.
When you get gas you will be paying the monthly gas service fee. I'm not sure what it is near you, but here it is $20 per month. Thats $240 per year. That can buy a significant amount of electricity.
Heatpumps work good but if your house is leaky, not so much. Ofcourse your heatpump will struggle during the extra cold weeks even if your house isn't leaky.
Just some things to consider.
One thing that could tip the balance, obviously, is that if you bring in gas, switching to a gas water heater could save you money and eat up the monthly fee in the summer. The cost for the change-over could be significant, though.
I must assume the cost of connecting up to gas is quite high. Why not replacing your oil furnace with a new oil furnace and use that oil furnace with your heat pump as a hybrid system?
I did that last year - replacing old A/C and oil furnace with a Heat Pump and new oil furnace. My utility costs are WAY down and the house is so much more comfortable.
Certainly even with the cost of bringing a gas line to a residential home from the street, there should be a reasonable payback as opposed to way more expensive fuel oil.
And then there is the intangible of resale value at a later date. I certainly would not buy a home with oil heat.
I do think gas heat is worthy of consideration even in a dual fuel system if one's family is accustomed to oil forced air heat.
I would get rid of oil period.
tigerdunes is one of the most knowledgeable posters on this forum... he has forgotten more than I'll ever know about heating and air conditioning, BUT I must disagree on his logic here.
If your Heat Pump in North Carolina is going to be the source of heat MOST OF THE TIME then your expensive oil will only be used a relative small amount of time compared to your prior full time usage.
I am going to make up numbers here, but using oil as the backup might cost you (say) $600 in oil. Let's say using gas might cost you $300 for that backup heat.
In my case to connect to the gas line would have cost me many thousands of dollars... and that if I could get others on the street to share the cost by also agreeing to connect. The infrastructure for oil is already paid for and in place - oil tank, etc. Also, add the cost of safely and environmentally disposing of that old tank and its contents when you convert to gas.
Please do not misunderstand, If I were moving into a new home I would prefer gas over oil - I just don't want to foot the bill to convert.
It would take me a decade or more to recover that up-front gas connection cost.
Couple of issues. Electric resistance is cheaper than oil in most (?all) of NC - so why bother? On the wholesale market at least, oil is 4 times the price of NG (I suspect approaching 5).
I've never seen an ad anywhere for heating oil in NC. I think it is less than 1% of homes. Propane is much more common as a fuel of last resort. All electric is the most common.
A decade is not a bad payback period given the cost of money now. Also - most people in NC are not paying to get NG to the house and it sounds like the OP would not be paying. $10 a month is the typical monthly fee.
My thought would be if the NG is expensive to hook up, then just go all electric. Use some of the saved money to insulate the house better. Unless the OP is in the mountains.
At least one of the gas companies in NC has a flat $10.00 per month charge and the gas used is charged in addition to that. So there is $120.00 per year just to have gas available. Consider that if you have no other need for gas. Gas water heating is much cheaper than electricity. A portable generator will not fully power a heat pump. But the small generator will run a gas (or oil) furnace. Consider how to heat if there is a power outage.
bus driver,
"Gas water heating is much cheaper than electricity." Generally yes, however the advent of the residential electric hot water HEAT PUMP has leveled the playing field.
Last year I replaced an older A/C unit with a Heat Pump. I also replaced my oil furnace with a new oil furnace. I also replaced my electric hot water heater with a GE Heat Pump hot water heater.
For the first ten months of 2009 I paid $2700 for electricity. In the first ten months of this year, since the new equipments, I have paid $2000.
Additionally, I kept my home three degrees cooler this year during the cooling season and three degrees warmer during the heating season just beginning.
Also, for the first time in my 22 years in this house the entire house was properly cooled and comfortable during the cooling season.
Because of my ignorance, I did not use the heat pump "properly" during the past heating season - I used oil to heat almost exclusively - just as I had in 2009.
At the end of the year I will post 12 months worth of data.
However, replacing the old electric resistance heat hot water heater with the heat pump with resistance backup is saving nearly $50 in electric usage every month of the year. I believe this would compare quite favorably with gas - except it would cost me MANY thousands of dollars to bring gas in ...
It must be tough to keep an oil burner going in an area where there are few and people are unfamiliar with them. That might be reason enough to get out of it. In the rural Northeast there would be no problem finding service or competitive oil delivery prices, but, apparently, you have few friends in NC.
saltidawg - any noise issues with your HP hot water heater? There are lots of complaints that has scared me away from it - but of course it depends where you hot water heater is. Ours is in the laundry room on the 1st floor - bedroom right next door (although 2 walls separate).
The Heat pump hot water heater's usefullness is very climate and location driven. In my situation it would be great if it wasn't for the noise.
I received excellent oil burner training in the early 1970s from a very experienced man. And I now am down to just two oil furnaces on my properties. Now I know of only one oil company that also offers burner service. And their technicians are probably the best on oil in this area. Customers actually do not want oil when they call, they want heat. The oil companies are really in the heat business with respect to residential customers. Those that do not realize this are doomed. I suspect that few HVAC contractors now have a well-trained burner service person on staff.
My unit is in the basement and thus noise is not an issue. If you locate it in a closet in a living area the noise could be a problem.
The thermodynamic performance properties have little or nothing to do with regional climate. The unit does extract heat from its surroundings but it is a very small BTU extraction in a basement which is a HUGE heat sink. The unit's operation makes absolutely no difference in ambient basement temperature, however it does reduce the humidity somewhat.
Operating the unit in a small service closet, in addition to being noisy, might also lower the closet temperature somewhat.
Here in MD the state gave me a rebate, the power company kicked in a few dollars, Montgomery County gave me a $250 Property Tax Credit, the state collected no sales tax, and Lowes gives service men and retired military a 10% price reduction... and last year it was eligible for the 30% Federal Tax Credit.

In a world obsessed with words, these comic creators use only imagery to tell their stories and yet the message could not be clearer
As you flip through these pages, you find that the silence is intense but not uncomfortable. A girl in her school uniform with troubled eyes holds a gun in front of her. A cloud of smoke is snaking out of it. People in the background are shocked, their hands over their mouths, their eyes wide with fear. In the next frame, there is a crack on the board, a bloody gash on a pair of legs, the rest hidden by a desk in front. There are no words on the page and yet, the message could not be more clear.
In a world obsessed with words, a small group of silent comic creators are going about telling stories with just pictures. While the idea of silent comics has been around for a while in the West, the market for them is just beginning to open up here. Manta Ray, an independent publishing firm based out of Bangalore, came out with Hush, a silent graphic novella in 2010. Says co-founder Pratheek Thomas, "The novella explores, in 17 pages, the subject of Child Sexual Abuse — the tagline, fittingly, is 'some things are not meant to be talked about'. We thought words would trivialise the girl's emotions. I also didn't want to force my voice into the reader's head," adds Pratheek.
Hush, after its release, brought its creators much acclaim, especially for narrating a powerful story with no dialogues. "When you are scripting a story without relying on dialogues, there are two levels of communication you have to look that. That the reader understands what you are trying to say and the artists create exactly what you want in the frame. While the writer isn't the best person to imagine how everything should look, a story is only as good as your script," explains Pratheek. "I'm not a very verbose writer and so I enjoy working on silent comics. Dialogue is merely another layer, the pictures must tell the story by themselves."
Another graphic novelist who believes in this principle is Appupen, who enjoys communicating through strong visuals. His first book, Moonward is not a silent comic but had a few pages that had no dialogues. His next, Legends of Halahala, is a 150-page collection of five silent short stories. "Even with Moonward, I enjoyed working on the portions that didn't have dialogues. As a guy who draws comics, it allowed me to concentrate on the visuals and story flow," he says. "But," he adds, "I'm one of those guys who never makes notes while I'm thinking about a story. I like the fact that ideas can be conveyed purely through pictures."
Legends of Halahala explores the world of Halahala as a fun, colourful place. "In a silent story, the reader assumes a story in his head and as an artist, you are only guiding him. The medium doesn't always allow you to explain something completely different (like a new medical concept), but there are ways of getting over that problem too. But, think about it this way. Why do you add dialogues in a comic? When you are trying to explain something that can't be explained with just pictures," he says. "Actually I think I like silent comics because my friends tell me I can't write to save my life," laughs Appupen.
One of the major advantages of making silent comics is its universality. "There is no language barrier," adds Appupen. "And it has the power to hold your attention to a page. The artist provides the clues and the reader takes his own stand on the story. Sometimes, as a storyteller, you even hide some details and readers can dig them out." Pratheek believes that such comics offer value for money. Pratheek has worked on two other silent short stories Rather Lovely Thing and Voyeur. "They are very readable and don't confound the reader. They're also more value for money because the reader can keep going back to the story. Silent stories tell a lot within a short time."

I am just getting back into working out. I studied a little and find it hard to believe that this is supposed to be the way to do things.
Basically I work out one day, miss the next and so on. I repeat this process the next week. So each exercise I do once a week. Then after two weeks I increase my weights. So I do my sets once a week, then again the next week, then I am ready to increase?
I am not lifting a lot yet so it is not very serious, but I would like to approach this properly this time.
Any help would be appreciated, cheers.

ABC News' David Wright reports: The McCain campaign says its new ad comparing Barack Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton is fair and balanced. The Obama campaign and its supporters clearly don't agree.
"It's beyond dispute that he has become the biggest celebrity in the world," McCain campaign strategist Steve Schmidt explained to reporters today. "But do the American people really want to elect the biggest celebrity in the world?"
Asked why the campaign chose these particular celebrities to compare with Obama, campaign manager Rick Davis answered matter of factly, as though the comparison were obvious and indisputable: "What we decided to do was find the top three international celebrities in the world. Britney and Paris came in second and third," he said.
But perhaps the Hilton family won't appreciate the irony of the ad? Those political junkies over at TMZ.com discovered that Rick and Kathy Hilton, parents to Paris, are McCain donors.
The Obama campaign initially responded to the ad with a twist on a Britney Spears classic. Said spokesman Tommy Vietor: "On a day when major news organizations across the country are taking Senator McCain to task for a steady stream of false, negative attacks, his campaign has launched yet another. Or, as some might say, 'Oops! He did it again.'"
And later this afternoon, the Obama campaign fired back with a new ad of its own. See it HERE.
The Obama campaign ad ignored the pop princess comparisons and instead hammered at McCain for his "attacks on Obama" and taking "the low road." Under a photograph of McCain with President George Bush the narrator says: "John McCain. Same old politics. Same failed policies."
McCain campaign officials say they are not worried that voters may perceive the ad as another negative attack from their candidate. Or as sour grapes that their candidate, who has traveled widely, does not seem to draw such large crowds.
"I'd love to think that john McCain was a big international celebrity, but he's not," Davis said. "We see him more as a global leader than a global celebrity."
UPDATE: Tit for tat, Obama supporters are firing back at the McCain campaign for comparing their candidate to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in a new campaign ad — pointing to McCain's penchant for wearing $520 Ferragamo designer shoes.
"I'm just saying if you want to launch attacks about celebrity and out of touch, maybe you shouldn't do it while wearing $520 shoes," Eddie Vale of the DC-based Progressive Accountability.org emailed reporters.
Vale included an item from the Huffington Post website highlighting the swish new loafers McCain has been sporting on the campaign trail.
For instance, he wore them to his meeting with the Dalai Lama and during his ill-fated visit to a Bethlehem, PA, grocery store when jars of Mott's Applesauce knocked over by a stock clerk went toppling to the floor right next to McCain.
Luckily for the candidate, the applesauce appeared to miss the Italian calfskin loafers.
As Huffington Post points out, McCain's black monk strap "Pregiato Moccasins" feature "tonal topstitching, silvertone hardware, and a Gancini bit and strap over vamp" (whatever that means). They're made by the Italian designer Salvatore Ferragamo and retail at Niemann-Marcus for $520.
"What better way to show his American pride than to tour the country in Italian leather?" chided Huffington Post blogger Isabel Wilkinson.
(Full disclosure: I also happen to be wearing Ferragamo loafers today. But I got them on sale in Milan some years ago. And I certainly didn't spend $520.)

Exclusive: Tim Doyle's 'Unreal Estate' Art Show Featuring Locations From Famous TV Shows
Posted on Tuesday, January 31st, 2012 by Germain Lussier
In a traditional sense, art is all about being displayed at a gallery. The art we feature here on /Film, however, is far from traditional. It's bold, bright and usually pop culture themed. That kind of stuff has no place in a gallery. Or does it? Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles regularly hosts pop culture themed art shows and occasionally gives some of those artists their own show. Spoke Art in San Francisco, CA has followed suit with several pop culture themed shows of their own and, later this week, will showcase one the movements most prolific artists.
Tim Doyle's first solo show, Unreal Estate, opens Thursday February 2 at Spoke Art in San Francisco. It features art depicting locations from famous television shows such as The Simpsons, The Sopranos, Seinfeld, Sesame Street, King of the Hill, Arrested Development and more. It'll be on display through February 23 and will go on sale online February 3.
After the jump, look at a bunch of exclusive images from the show along with Doyle's personal descriptions of the process behind them. Read More »

brand survivors
Posted by Dale Buss on September 2, 2011 03:33 PM
Double dip or a single dip with sprinkles on it, the recessionary feeling of the economy is something that Americans may be getting used to. And increasingly, quick-serve and fast-casual restaurant brands are adjusting to this "new normal" and simply trying to do business in spite of it, instead of assuming that better days are ahead.
Take Bennigan's. One of the original definers of the modern fast-casual restaurant segment, the 80-unit chain knows a thing or two about hard times, and by its own admission the Irish pub chain had grown rather stale and lifeless. It filed for bankruptcy-court protection in 2008, closed its corporate-owned stores across the US, and last November relaunched under new ownership. And certainly the three-year slump in the restaurant industry hasn't helped.
But instead of crying the blues, the Dallas-based chain, which now operates about 100 stores in the US and internationally is bringing out the green: It is launching a deep overhaul that includes re-connecting with the Irish green that was a key part of the optics of the original Bennigan's brand.Continue reading...

Non stick frypan- lots its 'stick'
I have been battling away with my good quality, non-stick frypan, for quite a while. It seems to have a coating on it, which stops it from being non-stick. I think it could be a build up of olive oil, that I occasionally use in the pan.
Despite that fact that I wash it, the coating doesnt come off.
Any ideas on how I can restore this pan to its former non-sticky self?
Many thanks from the land down under.
Is this a well-known manufacturer that you can look up their toll-free customer hotline online and then call and ask them? What dish soap do you clean it with, I like Dawn because it cuts through grease just like they advertise. Do you soak the pan in hot water and detergent? I wonder if a cut lemon would help remove the residue.
Now I'm curious, what brand is this pan, how old is it and what non-stick material does it have?
I had a 12" Calphalon Non-stick fry pan that had also lost it's non-stick property.
The actual coating on the pan had not flaked or scratched, it just had built up a layer of "something" that would make everything stick to it.
I tried all sorts of things to get the surface restored to it's former glory... no luck.
The only thing I could figure out, is that I had been using PAM for many years before I learned that it was NO GOOD for Non-stick pans. It builds up a layer on the surface and you can't get it off.
This was before Calphalon started adding warnings about using Pam. If anything, I now use a little Olive oil, veg.oil or butter. No more problems.
Stay away from Pam !
I sent my fry pan back to Calphalon, and they sent me a brand new one... no questions and no hassles.
Well whadayaknow. You learn something new every day. I had no idea Pam was bad for non-stick. Is this due to the pan being placed over a flame? I never use Pam when I'm frying but I do use it every time I bake in my non-stick bakeware pans. Will oven baking cause the same problem?
I can't say for sure about using Pam for "baking", but I will say that the reglar baking tins I use have a sticky coating on them that is impossible to get off. YUP! I had used Pam on them. I don't anymore, I use Crisco shortening or butter.
Chekc out the Calphalon web site and see for yourself, they recommend that you do NOT use Pam ( cooking sprays).
It is not that Pam is bad for non-stick, it just leaves a residue and over time, makes the pan "yucky" (that's a technical term). It will do the same for stainless steel. In general, you should avoid it but I still use it for some applications.
I am trying a new spray that says it does not contain "silicon." I am not sure if that is what causes the residue from Pam but so far, so good. I have not used it much though.
What is this non-silicon product that you bought and where did you buy it? Otherwise it's back to the drudgery of greasing a pan by hand again. How spiled have I become where I can't take a few extra seconds to butter a pan the old fashioned way?!
Thanks for all the replies.
Dont think we have Pam in Australia, so I havent been using that, just olive oil on my pan. I really think the "gunk" is a build up of olive oil.
Flyingflower - great idea to phone manufacturer, I am going to have a look at my pan, after I have finished this, and do some investigating.
I just wash the pan with hot water, and normal old dishwashing liquid. I will give a cut lemon a try.
I will report back if I come up with anything interesting.
I might ask a lady here, who knows how to remove every stain on anything in a house. She has written a book about it. In fact I have seen her book in the bookshop, I might go and just look it up in the shop !
Thanks for all the suggestions, nice to hear other people have such a problem with their frypan.
Bye for now.
I saw the silicon-free oil spray at Safeway (but not Albertsons). I've forgotten the name of it but you can't miss it because the packaging is very different than the other sprays (it's sold along side of them). I didn't buy it because I was shell-shocked by the price (almost $5) but now that I've had time to think about it I think it's worth it. I will keep my eye on it a little bit longer hoping it goes on sale.

"The Destruction of Public Education" on "I Take LIBERTY With My Coffee"
in Politics
Our Public Education is being destroyed. It's as simple as that. Common Core, Race to the Top, Charter School Disinformation and Money, Money, Money. In New York, a battle rages that dates back to misappropriation of Public School Funds, Cuomo trying to cut Public Education and give money to charter schools and, of course, Common Core. Created by businessmen and shoved down the throats of parents and teachers with a focus on testing, Common Core is the cherry on top of the continued push to turn Public Education into a business. Joining me today is Teacher/Activist Marla Kilfoyle. Marla, a manager of Badass Teacher Association has been a parent advocate on Long Island in such groups as Parents and Teachers Against Common Core and LI Opt-Out. Marla has been a teacher in the Social Studies Department at Oceanside High School (NY) for 27 years. Also joining us Kenneth Hughes, public school teacher for 28 years who is watching the school where he teaches suffer from the budget shortfalls manipulated over the past decade and is looking more budget cuts direct in the face. These issues in New York and throughout the country are as important as any in our society. So grab a cup of coffee and join us. Longtime Activist, Coffee Party USA Board of Director & Radio Host, Bobby Rodrigo's show "I Take LIBERTY With My Coffee" on Coffee Party USA Radio airs Sunday Morning at 8:30AM. Advocating engagement Bobby points out the Constitution is the Rule of Law and why it should remain so. Money in Politics, the Political Party Machine and partisan blind allegiance is on full display as he advocates against the erosion of Constitutional Protections in the name of corruption & tyranny. "If we focused on following the Constitution we would solve many of the ills of our society."

A dad's journey of discovery and (many) diapers
Posts filtered on Category
Where to begin
I've been hesitant to write this post. We needed some time for everything to sink in. We're quickly coming to the realization that it will never likely sink in. We're sad. We're overwhelmed. We're a bit confused (ok, more than a bit). We're not alone. It was January 15th, Emiley's birthday; not a huge milestone […] [Read More]
Early Intervention
It's been an interesting few months. I've been here with 'here' being home, work, school activities, and the daily grind, but all of that got me a little flustered and it just wasn't possible to be here – at the keyboard delivering my views from dad-dom. I spoke with Mike Huber, the blog Czar, […] [Read More]
One of those moments
Abbi goes to gymnastics on Saturday mornings. She is having a blast and is always talking about what friends will be there, how she did forward rolls, what others had for show and tell and what stamps she got (they give ink stamps to the younger kids at the end of each class). I give […] [Read More]
Nickle and Dimed
It's been a while. Abbi has graduated from Princeton and Adler is a Junior at Georgia Tech. Time sure does fly by. Ok, so it hasn't been that long, right? Abbi is starting to learn that coins have value. She doesn't understand that a quarter is worth 25 pennies or that a dime is twice […] [Read More]
Do you ever get sick of your own kids?
I love my kids. I'd do anything for them at any given moment. They have completely changed our lives for the better. They are what I think about when I wake up, when I go to bed, and just about every waking moment in between. I can't get enough of their giggles, their questions, their […] [Read More]
Who's in charge?
Since turning 3 a few weeks ago, a switch went off in Abbi's little head. Apparently it's time for her to explore her independence, further test the boundaries, and make some unusual choices. The biggest change is in the use of the word 'no'. It now comes with strength behind it and is meant to […] [Read More]
What not to say to a stay at home parent
I've been fortunate to be able to stay home with the kids for a while now. It won't last forever (it's not sustainable) but I wouldn't give up this time for anything. Being a stay at home parent is work. It's not the typical outside the house type of work that most people think of […] [Read More]

Baaaaahhh: What am I teaching our kids?
A few days ago Gramma and I took the kids to Adirondack Animal Land in Gloversville/Mayfield (not sure where one stops and the other begins). Em was at working 'making coins'. It was a beautiful day and we figured a short road trip was needed. We pulled in without a problem and I lathered […] [Read More]
How life's greatest stressors affect the kids
If you google 'stressful life events' most of the results will mention death in the family, personal illness, marriage/divorce, change in or loss of employment, buying a house (or other large purchase) and having children. For me, these things come in packs. The same day that I closed on my first house, I also purchased […] [Read More]

(vortioxetine) Tablets
Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies. These studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior with antidepressant use in patients over age 24; there was a trend toward reduced risk with antidepressant use in patients aged 65 and older [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
In patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy, monitor closely for worsening, and for emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors. Advise families and caregivers of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
BRINTELLIX has not been evaluated for use in pediatric patients [see Use in Specific Populations].
BRINTELLIX is an immediate-release tablet for oral administration that contains the beta (β) polymorph of vortioxetine hydrobromide (HBr), an antidepressant. Vortioxetine HBr is known chemically as 1-[2-(2,4-Dimethyl-phenylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-piperazine, hydrobromide. The empirical formula is C18H22N2S, HBr with a molecular weight of 379.36 g/mol. The structural formula is:
Vortioxetine HBr is a white to very slightly beige powder that is slightly soluble in water.
Each BRINTELLIX tablet contains 6.355 mg, 12.71 mg, 19.065 mg, or 25.42 mg of vortioxetine HBr equivalent to 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, or 20 mg of vortioxetine, respectively. The inactive ingredients in BRINTELLIX tablets include mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate and film coating which consists of hypromellose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol 400, iron oxide red (5 mg, 15 mg, and 20 mg) and iron oxide yellow (10 mg and 15 mg).

I was on my way home when my wife called me and asked me to forgive her. She said she had done a "very dumb thing."
She was talking like I did when I had to explain why I accidentally set the microwave on 10 minutes instead of one minute and didn't notice the smoky mistake until it was too late. The smell of a single, very burned, tortured and warped hot dog seemed to scent everything we owned, including our clothes, for more than a week.
The only "very dumb" thing my wife has ever done was marry me. She was so contrite. What could she have done to cause her to feel such remorse?
She confessed that she had invited in a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman that afternoon for a "short visit" and when he failed to close the sale after more than 90 minutes, she had agreed that he could return that night to make his pitch to me.
She had tried to explain to him that we would not be able to purchase his vacuum that cost as much and looked like it weighed a little more than a small Volkswagen. She said I would not be interested in buying one because she and I share all the money that is left over after we pay the bills and have had heated discussions over whether or not to spend all that money on a single bag of microwave popcorn or half of a Little Caesars pizza.
I was not upset at her at all because we have sort of a family standard that says we, unlike many others, try to treat even door-to-door sales people with respect. And yet Barb was concerned I would not be nice to this very persistent salesman and asked me repeatedly to be polite.
When I got home, I saw in the middle of our living room this vacuum cleaner that looked like a tank. What was more surprising was that this salesman had placed about our dining room little displays of our filth on small black felt presentation squares like one might use to showcase rare diamonds.
We learned that each square probably included a heaping helping of germs that could threaten the life of any small child who might touch our carpet and, I assume, any Harley biker friends we might have invited over to sit on the floor.
This proved to be a theme for the evening. Our guest wanted us to know that our house and mattress were loaded with so much dirt, filth and invisible dead bugs that we had only two options: one was to buy an expensive vacuum cleaner that has big suction power and the other was to have our house collapse into a wallet-sized dwelling and disappear into a malfunctioning television set like they did at the end of the movie "Poltergeist."
While he kept returning to his theme of filth and disease, I held fast to my contention that unless he planned to sell us his bomb-proof vacuum for less than $100, he would have no deal. At one point, he tried to meet my expectations by writing a lower number on a scrap of paper and sliding the new price toward me like I was drug dealer. He did get the price down to less than $100 — a month.
When we finally reached an impasse, he told us before he could leave he would need to call his boss and let him see all of our dirty sins displayed about our house so that he could know for himself that his salesman had "done his job." I told him if that was an excuse to bring in another person to hard sell us I would be "very angry" — and I was not kidding. I think he was worried that I might throw all our germs all over him, so he suddenly decided that he didn't need his boss to stop by after all.
That's when he began a lengthy process of taking apart the vacuum cleaner, one piece at a time, cleaning it, polishing it and wiping it down as if it was now radioactive. As he would carefully prepare each part for his cardboard box, he took this sad parental tone and asked us pointed questions like, "If your washing machine broke down, how long would you take to replace it?" and "If your daughter fell in a vat of boiling oil, would you save up money before you tried to pull her out?"
As my precious evening hours were sucked away, I started to get grumpy and began to give him contrarian answers that I'm sure he had not been trained to deal with.
When he finally left after about an hour — in dentist-time — I apologized to my wife for getting so testy with our relentless, insulting guest. She wasn't even mad. She was just overjoyed that her all-day ordeal was over.
No one was going to use scare tactics to get us to spend our money foolishly. Not us. We just packed our bags and drove to a nearby motel where we are living temporarily until we buy a new carpet, floors, walls and, of course, a new mattress for our bed.
Sound expensive? If you're concerned, I will write our rebuilding number on a slip of paper and slide it to you. It will be less than the cost of a new vacuum cleaner and we'll be able to pay it off within our lifetime, provided we don't die first of germs.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota United FC owner Bill McGuire had a good week with Wednesday's announcement that his ownership group had been granted an expansion franchise in Major League Soccer with play to begin in 2018. McGuire faces a July 1 deadline to have a workable stadium plan and state lawmakers have said he'll get little help, but the former UnitedHealth Group chief was in a jovial mood when he agreed to take a few questions from The Associated Press.

Miami's Hottest New Hotels and Restaurants
There are always plenty of restaurant and hotel debuts coming out of Miami, but this year's shaping up to be one of the beach city's most buzzworthy years yet. Whether your idea of the perfect Miami vacation is dining at the hottest new eatery in town or just bunking down poolside at one of its hippest new hotels, here's a rundown of Miami's most anticipated accommodation and restaurant openings.
South Beach
Miami's long-awaited SLS Hotel—opening in May in the heart of South Beach on Collins Avenue and 17th Street—promises to be a foodie magnet, with chef José Andres opening an outpost of his conceptual (and just plain fun) Bazaar restaurant there, along with an accompanying food truck (designed by Philippe Starck for quick snacks under the sun). In the meantime, gourmands have been heading to two restaurants that opened late last year: The Dutch at the W South Beach (a branch of Andrew Carmellini's trendy New York restaurant) and Geoffrey Zakarian's Tudor House, which serves one of the best weekend brunches in town. Also nearby: The Delano, which just opened new spots for cocktails (FDR Lounge) and sushi (Umi Sushi and Sake Bar).
Coming Soon: There's a buzz about the major renovations underway at the Hotel Impala, aimed to make the hotel as stylish as The Webster, the tastemaker boutique next door, as well as about the new restaurant at The Raleigh, which Design District favorite chef Michael Schwartz is taking over, set to open this fall.
The Design District
Over the past few years, the Design District has become a compact mecca of stylish shops, restaurants, and galleries. Chef Michael Schwartz, one of its pioneers, recently opened Harry's Pizzeria on North Miami Avenue as an extra-casual take on the unpretentious, locally sourced cuisine he built his reputation on at Michael's Genuine Food and Drink. Standouts include pizza with slow roasted pork and figs, plus a selection of four beers from local microbreweries on tap.
Coming Soon: Over the next few years, expect an influx of international designer shops, most notably Louis Vuitton, to nestle themselves near stylish neighborhood anchors like Christian Louboutin and Marni. Also rumored to be in development: a boutique hotel, with additional retail spaces in its lobby.
Bal Harbour
One of Miami's ritziest neighborhoods, Bal Harbour now has a hotel that's an ideal fit for the swank surroundings: a newly built St. Regis with spacious waterfront rooms and a sleek but just-glitzy-enough design by Yabu Pushelberg. As you'd expect from this upscale chain, there's an indulgent spa, a restaurant helmed by a celebrity chef (in this case, Jean-Georges Vongerichten), and its trademark butler service for guests.
Coming Soon: The Bal Harbour Shops, directly across the street from the St. Regis, is an ultra-luxe mall with stores from the likes of Chanel, Hermes, and Prada. Due out this year are stores from Moncler and Alexander McQueen, alongside recently opened La Perla and Balenciaga boutiques.
Elsewhere in Miami Beach
Miami's vibrant mix of cultures is summed up perfectly at the recently opened Dome Bar in Coral Gables: a sustainably built, Latin American fusion caviar bar (odd-sounding, but delicious nonetheless). At the other end of the city in Sunny Isles Beach—a few minutes' drive north of Bal Harbour—the popular Acqualina Resort is just about to open Piazzetta, a relaxed restaurant co-run by Il Mulino (which has a more formal location on the property); it also offers gourmet takeout for a high-end picnic on the beach.
Coming Soon: Two hotels in development—a Miami branch of the Marriott/Schrager Edition chain and a new property on 32nd and Collins Avenue that was originally intended to be a Cipriani hotel—are highly anticipated, as is an overhaul of The Tides, one of the original hotels that helped attract style mavens to Miami a few decades ago.

For various reasons, quality submissions from the Something Awful Forum Goons might never make it to the front page. For example, intrepid talents might try valiantly to salvage doomed themes, or a consistently high-quality thread might be too esoteric to attract enough contributors, or something great might just get buried under all the other greatness. This doesn't happen very often, which is why the last Photoshop Phriday Variety Pack ran back in 2005. But there's material to use, and college basketball to watch, so voilà -- the best of the rest!
Last year, Ferrule proposed a few changes that would "make America's often-boring pastime more exciting." Unfortunately, the commissioner's office ignored his suggestions, as well as those from like-minded peers. But now it's Spring Training, when pitchers experiment with weird grips and shitty teams still have stupid hope and anything can happen, so why not institute these upgrades immediately? Our baseball nation turns its yawning eyes to Goons.
Ferrule immortalizes hard-throwing KC Royals pitcher Bruce Chen with this metaphorical representation. Believe it!
Effingham urges everyone to remain calm, and pray for a miracle.
Hungry Bit set the crackers. Then he ate them.
You play a good game, Sir Nose, but the game is finished, now you die.
You ask how his day went and he responds, "Fine." Or, you ask what he's up to and he says, "Nothing."
Rock legend David Bowie has changed his identity with almost every album. Can you remember all these classic Bowie characters?
Let's play HIDE YOUR DRINKIES!
Video games are serious business, but Goons save room for fun stuff, like making Mega Man fan art!

Photoshop Phriday showcases the tremendous image manipulation talents of the Something Awful Forum Goons. Each week they tackle a new theme, parodying movies, video games, comics, history, and anything else you can think of. If you want in on the action, join us on the Something Awful Forums!

Rush Limbaugh Deflects Blame for WABC Ad Sales Slump (Report)
Rush Limbaugh is on the defense after receiving blame from the parent company of his radio station WABC for declining ad sales, the New York Daily News reports.
The company, Cumulus Media, lost millions in the aftermath of Limbaugh's Sandra Fluke remarks, CEO Lew Dickey has said, and in response, Limbaugh -- according to the Daily News -- might leave WABC at the end of his contract later this year if Dickey continues to single him out as the catalyst for the slump.
"Lew needs someone to blame, (so) he's pointing fingers instead of fixing his own sales problem," a Limbaugh source is quoted as telling the newspaper.
Early in 2012, Limbaugh sparked outrage -- and an advertiser exodus -- after attacking Fluke, a social justice activist, as a "slut" and "prostitute" for advocating insurance coverage of contraceptives. But a Daily News source close to Limbaugh's show said revenue was "very minimally impacted in the short term."
If Limbaugh, whose talk-radio program remains No. 1, takes his polarizing persona elsewhere, 40 of Cumulus' radio stations would lose rights to the show, says Politico. In March, Dickey said in an earnings call that talk radio at the company was "challenged ... due to some issues that happened a year ago"; in a call months earlier, he observed that advertisers' boycott of Limbaugh was part of the reason for $5.5 million in losses for the most popular Cumulus-owned programs. Another earnings call is slated for Tuesday.

Original publisher: Washington: U.S. G.P.O., 2011. LC Number: KF26 .F6 2010r OCLC Number: (OCoLC)726899400 Subject: Economic sanctions -- Iran. Excerpt: ... 11 Resolution 1929 enhances existing U.N. sanctions by expanding the breadth and reach of those measures and at the same time breaks new ground with additional categories of sanctions to further pressure Iran to comply with its international nuclear obligations. 1929 reinforces the Security Council's longstanding demand that Iran suspend its enrichment program and other proscribed nuclear activities, and it imposes measures in several broad categories: It reaffirms the necessity of Iranian compliance with its IAEA obligations and its full cooperation with IAEA investigations; It bans Iran's investment in sensitive, including uranium mining, nuclear and ballistic missile-related activities abroad; It imposes new binding restrictions on Iran's import of eight broad categories of heavy weapons, and requires vigilance and restraint in the transfer of all arms and related materiel to Iran; It bans all activities related to Iran's ballistic missiles capable of delivering nuclear weapons; In order to deter, detect, and stop Iran's smuggling and acquisition of sensitive nuclear items and prohibited arms and related materiel, the resolution calls upon all states to inspect Iranian cargo, and notes that states may request in-spections on the high seas consistent with international law and the consent of the flag state; It includes provisions to help block Iran's use of the international financial sys-tem - particularly its banks - to fund proliferation; It alerts states to the potential link between Iran's energy sector revenues and energy-related technologies and its nuclear and proliferation activities; It addresses the activities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, whose ele-ments have been involved in proliferation by sanctioning the largest and most significant enterprise owned by the IRG...

Next-Generation NetworkA Next-Generation Network (NGN) is the term given to describe a telecommunications packet-based network that handles multiple types of traffic (such as voice, data, and multimedia). It is the convergence of service provider networks that includes the public switched telephone network (PSTN), the data network (the Internet), and, in some instances, the wireless network as well.
* The NGN system offers key convergent multimedia services using a shared network characterized by several essential elements:
- A unique and shared core network for all types of access and services.
- A core network architecture divided into three layers: Transport, Control and Services.
- Development of packet mode transport (IP flow transport in native IP, or on ATM in the short term with a progressive convergence to IP).
- Open and standardized interfaces between each layer, and in particular for the Control and Services layers in order to allow third parties to develop and create services independent of the network.
- Support for multiple applications (multimedia, real-time, transactional, total mobility) adaptable to the user and growing and varied capacities of access networks and terminals. * [Adapted from Moving towards the Next Generation Networks (NGN)]

My DIL emailed me this little tidbit and ain't it the truth!
An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding.
The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed positions. Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that little boy walk."
They then decided they both would walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride. So, they both rode the donkey. Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decide to carry the donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he fell into the river and drowned.
The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone, you might as well...
kiss your ass goodbye.
Just got this from my friend:
The old man ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. He then unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half.
He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife. He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup
down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering.
You could tell they were thinking, "That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them."
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said "No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything."
As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked "What is it you are waiting for?"
She answered.....................

Wow, che mare stupendo e cristallino!! Per chi vuole godere di un po' di tranquillità e di uno splendido mare questa location è perfetta. Abbiamo trovato un'ottima accoglienza, le persone che ci ospitavano ogni mattina ci portavano una prelibatezza diversa, dagli infusi naturali, alle conserve, ai fichi d'India e tutto il resto. Spostandosi di qualche chilometro si può arrivare in alcuni fra i posti più belli della Calabria Jonica. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono. Lo consiglio a chi vuole trascorrere qualche giorno in totale serenità ...
L 'appartamento è molto vicino al mare, la zona è tranquilla e gli host sono molto gentili e disponibili, lo spazio all 'aperto è accogliente e ben tenuto.
Flavio, we spent 10 beautiful days in house of your family. You have great family! Thank you for hospitality of your Mom, Dad and Bro. Calabria is one of most beautiful regions in Italy. I recommend your house to every who want to visit Calabria.
Vi hadde 14 vellykkede feriedager i leiligheten til Flavio. Meget barnevennlig lang-grunn sandstrand bare 200 meter fra leiligheten. Imponerende klart vann, uten tand, maneter eller forurensing. God plass på stranda og parasol og strandstoler var gratis fra utleier. Leiligheten var enkelt utstyrt, men fungerte greit for 5 personer. Ingen aircondition eller vifter. Flavios hyggelige foreldre, som bor i samme bygning, tok godt vare på oss og ga oss frukt, grønnsaker og urter daglig, fra egen hage. Vi lagde stort sett egen mat på gasskomfyr på kjøkkenet og spiste på terassen. Kjøeskap med fryserom og vaskemaskin ute i hagen. Supermarked 3 km unna, pizzeria 400 meter unna og kiosk med enkel servering på (website hidden) virket ikke da vi kom, men kom i orden før vi reiste. Alt virket trygt og sikkert og Flavios foreldre var alltid behjelpelige. Vi planlegger å komme tilbake!
Flavio's parents were really nice and welcoming! Even though we can hardly speak italian and they can hardly speak English, we sat down for a lovely breakfast and had a great chat! The apartment is a 3 minute walk to the beach and close to the main town. All of the necessary utilities and facilities are provided and we left with complimentary tea and jam from the villa. We were really happy to stay and happily recommend anyone visiting Sellia Marina to stay at Flavio's establishment!
Grazie Mille Flavio!
Traveled a large family with three young children in September. The sea is really close, the beach is sandy, flat bottom - great with young children. The friendly and hospitable hosts. Thank Flavio and his parents for a quick help for any request! Excellent value for money!
Flavio is really a good person. He is very polite and respectful. Very available to give me all the informations I needed to discover the quarter and the city. Recommended!
Flavio's place is spacious, comfortable and beautiful.
The room I stayed in had a very nice balcony and the bed was huge, with a great new mattress.
It was my first experience on Air BnB and I loved it.
Especially considering the little ordeal I had with another host canceling last minute. The customer service helped me get everything straightened out. And Flavio made special efforts to accommodate me.
It was my second time n Rome and first experience with airbnb. Thanx Flavio it was great!
Cutie wonderful flat, very clean and comfortable.
Near underground station, delicious trattoria and fruit market.
Hope if I will be in Rome again I will stay with Flavio.
Thanx him!
Convenient, Affordable and Friendly. Flavio was an awesome host, he picked me up from the airport for a small fee, made sure i was feeling welcome and emailed regularly with helpful tips and information regarding Rome and Italy. The room was great, clean and private. Highly recommend this to future travelers, Thanks Flavio !
Staying in this flat was so nice!
Everything was in perfect shape for my visit, and I was sorry I couldn't stay longer. Of course the surrounding neighbourhood was part of this lovely experience. Thanks again Flavio, hope to see you again soon.
Unforgettable and very nice were the kitchen garden vegetables and the welcome gifts!!!
Flavio is a very helpful and nice person.
He and his family are like all typical Calabrians: they are hospitable and
ready to bend over backwards for their guests.
