As a user of this publication i was kind of pleased to hear that Flight had taken over the reigns.
I've noticed in the last few editions some errors are creeping in , ok not really errors but clearly data that wasn't being updated. As a reference source of which there is little comparison its a shame that some cheaper 'spotter based' books are now clearly more accurate.
Another worry of mine is now its backed by Flight how will the data be used/compared with the data source you use for the World Airline Directory that you publish in Flight weekly. In the past this was a good quick guide, but for the last couple of years its not been so reliable.
My work is mainly centered around the CIS & former states so to see the Antonov Airlines has 2 An-22 in operation is a bit worrying, As much as spotters are quite geeky, they do seem to have a better network of information regarding this area.
I would be interested in any feedback as to the plans for JP.
Sergey M.
Many thanks for your comments.
With regards to the error that you mentioned contained in the Antonov data, I can confirm that this was not a data error on the part of Flight's research team; the problem was 'behind-the-scenes' (so to speak) in some of the coding that was used to create the text for the World Airline Directory. Although the error should have been spotted and corrected before going to press, it somehow slipped the net.
As for the future of JP Airline Fleets, I'm sure you can appreciate that keeping records for tens-of-thousands of aircraft as current as possible is not an enviable task. We have a highly-skilled and dedicated team of researchers working on this project, but we are only human so the occasional mistake will slip through sometimes.
However, we can't do it without the help of the enthusiasts out there. This is your opportunity to help us keep JP Airline Fleets as the definitive source for fleet information.
Ultimately, please help us to help you. Our data is your data and if for some reason it is incorrect, then we need to know about it so the problem can be rectified.
Vidi, Vici, Veni. I saw, I conquered, I came.
Does anyone know why the 2008/2009 JP Airline Fleets release is running late? According to the Buchair website it says due out 1st July. I ordered my copy from Aviation Worldwide NZ, so can't wait and looking forward to receiving my copy.
Just received my copy - what a disappointment! In a desperate move to undo all the good work by the Swiss publishers these last forty years, Flight seem to have re-sorted every single fleet in alphabetical order of aircraft types. Then registration order (ish). For example, Continental's 737s are now sorted by full N number instead of by "last three" fleet number which matched the delivery order. Those who have used the book as a reference before will find it much more difficult as the sort is illogical and unwieldy. IT MAKES NO SENSE.
That coupled with random advertising throughout, even where it interferes with the flow of the fleets and pages (Southwest Airlines stretched to the previous page to accommodate the ads!)
There are publications just as informative and accurate available. This year's JP has been weeks later than normal, and in my opinion is a very poorly produced book this year. I will check carefully next year before buying - I have had every edition since 1980, but 2008/9 may well be my last.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH, FLIGHT. Somebody there had better contact me because I want a refund. . .
I have to agree. The sort order within each airline makes no sense at all. In addition, the quality of the photo section has taken a nose dive. Many of the photos are dark, washed out, etc. The choice of subject matter seems a bit suspect as well. Past editions always had top quality photos - hopefully this is a reproduction/printing issue that can be corrected.
And while we are on the subject of accuracy - Enough already of "Boeing(McDonnell-Douglas)" etc.
For goodness sake, DOUGLAS built the DC-3, DC-4, DC-6 and DC-7. Boeing had nothing to do with that. Apparently Northern Air Cargo operate BOEING(DOUGLAS) DC-6's. UTTER RUBBISH.
McDonnell-Douglas built the DC-8, DC-9, MD-80, DC-10 and MD-11.
Boeing may have finished off a few MD-80s and MD-11s (Well, they finished them off completely in the end, along with Long Beach!) and yes, they did build the MD-95 and (cleverly) re-named it the 717, BUT THEY SHOULD NOT BE SHOWN AS THE MANUFACTURER OF ALL THOSE "DC JETS" and piston transports.
You might as well go to Duchess of Brittany on P.187 and re-style their single De Havilland DH.114 Heron aircraft as an AIRBUS(BRITISH AEROSPACE)(BRITISH AIRCRAFT CORPORATION)(HAWKER-SIDDELEY)(DE-HAVILLAND) Heron. Get it?
Ian McAllister - London ATC Flight Plan Supervisor / London Flight Information FISO
Dear Flight research and publishing team,
I was extreme happy this week to lay my hands on (and have the smell of) the new 2008/2009 JP edition, I treasure all publications since 1971! Publication was late, but hey, just have to change my yearly schedule. From the outside everything looked so familiar but its all about content. My first shock was the new sorting, no longer on MTOW but on alphabetical manufacturer! PLEASE can we go back to the old sorting which served our needs for so many decades! so we have a proper overview per airline on short/medium/long/ultraling haul fleets!!! At least do some proper research amongst all users and may I suggest a 'poll' on this subject first on the FlightGlobal site pleeaase!
The second shocker which nocked me out last night (could not believe it when I woke up this morning) is the fact that this edition is NOT AT ALL up to date! (you state on page i 'correct to May 2008'). Litterally 100ers of fresh aircraft orders are missing (when I do my best it could be close to 1000!). Just to start with Airbus (Nov07-Feb08) orders, Emirates, Oman Air, Ethiad, Hong Kong Al, AirBlue, Bangkok Aw, TAM, Egyptair, Qantas, Vietnam Al, Yemenia, Libiyan...I can name 10s of other airlines (and orders for other manufactures) which future fleets are not up to date. Whats going on? did I, my employer and all my aviation friends pay E.70 for 'the' book which is a 6 months update on the previous year?
I can see with all the orders space in running out in the JP but for sure there are means to limit this without sacrifying the high value of our JP, please ask us for our ideas, and for sure I will be one of them.
Frank, Ulrich and Ernst, whta happened to out beloved aviation bible??
Awaiting your reply and release-date and supply of a corrected 2008/2009 JP Airlines Fleet reference book.
Richard (still angry)
As a usually rather benign (lazy) and kindly Moderator on this site, may I just say that, yes, the above ATC gentleman has a point which we have all noted over the decades of take-overs. However, from a legal and corporate standpoint, the Company that takes over has a long-term obligation to provide product support for the airframes still operating. And the Regulators are bound to place on their Civil Registers the current designations of the types. I would like to claim that I am the most pedantic person in aviation; but am now wondering whether this accolade may have moved on from an old pilot to a much younger Air Traffic Controller chappie? (some of my best mates have been ATC fellahs, by the way!). I wonder whether Ian's point may have been made just as effectively, or more so, by the use of a somewhat gentler, less angry and frustrated tone or tenor? Perhaps more in the style of the helpful, kindly and friendly tones we are so used to when communicating with ATC when in the sky......
Dear Richard,
As an avid spotter, I fully agree with you on your first paragraph! Why FlightGlobal changed the sorting of the fleets in the new JP Airline Fleets? Since I know part of the three guys you mention, I know, that they developped a sytem over the years, which served fully to the spotters! They told me, that they spent hours and hours on research of the MTOW.
In your second paragraph you mention something about missing orders. I did not yet had the time to check this personally, but let me know, what is not correct with the Airbus orders, with e.g. TAM? This, I would be very interesting to me, right at the moment!
dakota67 . . . So, noting your point on how aircraft appear on the actual country registers I selectad at random a Northern Air Cargo DC-6, N6174C, ran it through a web search of the US FAA database and came up with . . .
DOUGLAS. No mention of Boeing.
As for angry and frustrated - absolutely, and rightly so I think. This formerly excellent, accurate and well ordered publication was something that was not broke. Flight have DEFINITELY "fixed it" ! I am definitely expecting more comments echoing my views on the subject.
I am compiling a list of errors. Shall I put it here on the forum or send it staight to Flight?
Cheers, (The normally very pleasant) Ian Mc.
I have recently received my copy of the JP 2008/2009 and was deeply disappointed!!! Having listed the fleets in alphabetical order is complete and utter laziness, which completely destroys the readability of the whole book! In a fleet list having a Boeing 747 in front of a Fokker 50 makes no sense! Having the Continental Airlines fleet in numeric order where ship no. 735 is listed before ship no. 710 is completely pointless!
I don't know whether this was the work of the Flight team or the Buchair team but he who pressed the 'Sort in alphabetical order' button, should not be allowed to participate in the production of what was once the bible of aviation!!
Having used the book for work and aircraft spotting over numerous years, I can absolutely guarantee that if these grave shortcomings aren't sorted out quickly the once loyal following will disappear very quickly and purchase other better publications.
Sort it out please, before it's too late!!
Sample errors (spent exactly 5 minutes randomly turning pages)
ABX Air P.268 - First some DC-9s. Then some DC-8s. Then hey! some more Dc-9s.
easyJet P.188 - Newly delivered A319s G-EZDJ/K/L randomly sorted part way down the "on order" section.
Ryanair P.154 - 737s noted correctly sequenced up to EI-DYK. Then 4 spaces for "on order". Then EI-DYL through -Z. Then more "on order"
Eastern Airways P.187 - Jetstream 41 registrations G-MAJA to -JM, then -JU, -JV, -JP, -JT, -JO ! Somebody needs more Sesame Street.
Five minutes - Four glaring errors. Anybody do better? There should be a prize for the person who spots the best duff entry in the book . . .
Cheers, Ian Mc.
Hands up all those who will trade their book for a second edition done properly?
Come on, Flight - I suggest a re-sort followed by an immediate reprint, then ask some regulars/professionals to proof read it. Then, to preserve sales offer anyone with a copy a free trade in, or the book is finished. As a field estimate I would guess sales will drop 75% next year without that commitment.
I am not being nasty or vindictive, this is a purely pragmatic view. If you produce a duffer which displeases your customers, you have to go back, get it right, and re-approach them with a solution.
Ian Mc.
I haven't received my copy in the mail yet. The 2008/2009 edition sounds like a big disapointment.
Regarding the presentation of this year's edition, we would like to take this opportunity to outline why some of these decisions were made.
The sorting of data in registration order
It is well-known that the majority of people who purchase JP Airline Fleets year after year are enthusiasts, spotters, registration collectors, etc.
Looking at the competition in the current market, it is evident that the generally accepted layout for spotting publications is to have aircraft sorted by Country, Airline, Type and Registration. A decision was made by Flight management to try something a little different this year. We were very aware that there would be comments regarding this and it was not a decision that was made lightly. However, out of the thousands of customers that rely on JP every year for the latest information on the world's fleets, many have already commented on how the change has been for the better.
The issue regarding the presentation of the Boeing/Douglas aircraft data is a long-running one and has been present in the JP publications since the 1999/2000 edition. So far, this is the first time that it has been addressed as an outright problem by one of our readers.
This was the final edition of JP that was entirely researched and produced by the original Swiss team, as explained in the foreword on page iii of the book. Ulrich Klee, Ernst Sommer and Frank Bucher, who created this book, have been responsible for the 42 years of impeccable, painstaking research that has gone into making the JP Airline Fleets brand what it is today and are held in high regard by their customers around the world for continuing to produce what is arguably the greatest annual aircraft listing available.
Images in JP 2008/09
There have been comments made regarding the choice of images selected for this year's book. Due to an issue with the printing house responsible for producing this latest edition, the images contained within the centre pages appear slightly dull with less contrast than is normally associated with photos in the book. This was due to circumstances beyond our control.
If you are able to contribute high-quality images of rare or unusual aircraft, please feel free to upload your images into the AirSpace galleries.
I have to agree that this year's book is a total disappointment, primarily as a result of the resequencing of fleets into an order which is not at all helpful, as many of the contributors have already pointed out.
Furthermore, in previous years, the arrival of JP has delivered a wealth of information not previously available from other sources, but the ever-lengthening time between last revisions and actual publication, coupled with the immediacy of information available from other sources including the internet, puts this edition to shame. It is so out of date in so many respects as to be virtually useless as a point of reference.
This is the 30th successive edition that I have purchased, but I don't think I shall bother next year - which is a shame as we used to handle the UK distribution of JP many years ago! Hopefully Flight will manage to find a way to make me change my mind, but there are certainly a number of less expensive and more up to date sources of the information in JP,
You say "Be assured that when the first edition of JP is released by Flight in 2009, there will be a marked improvement in image and priniting quality." Your words, my italics. That's a good start then!
I really appreciate the amount of work involved with keeping a publication like the JP up-to-date. Hence even though this edition is less up-to-date than last year's edition was at the same time, that's not really too bad considering the editorial changes.
However, if listing aircraft fleets in the order of country, airline, type and registration is the accepted general practice in order for aviation professionals and enthusiasts alike to be able read these publications, then simply saying 'we felt like changing our layout' is a very risky approach... As to some people liking the new layout, I wouldn't want to to cast any doubt on the moderator's words, only there's been no positive feedback on this 'official' JP forum.
As a reader of the publication since 1975, originally as an enthusiast and later for work-related purposes, I won't be buying the book again unless you go back to the original 'the way it's meant to be' layout.
another dissapointed regular jp buyer.i have purchased every jp since 1979 and feel the same as most of the posters on this forum.the quality of printing and photos seem poor,confusing layout of fleetlists,and on my copy 18 pages in the french/england section have been croppedd wrongly cutting off most of the information, a mistake i thought would have been spotted before sending to a customer.no t very impressed when paying nearly £40 for a book!there are now more accurate and cheaper manuals such as air britain fleets available and i am now wondering wether to bother buying jp next year.
simon butler
The last three digits of the registration of the Continental 737's does not always match their delivery order. One example of this is N13750 which was actually delivered between N27724 and N39726 with another 11 aircraft being delivered after it, which had fleet numbers lower than it.
I think you will have to agree that the weight of opinion is for an immediate reversal to the accepted format, and there are some very disappointed customers out there. At least two regular JP users I work with in ATC want to see my copy before they decide whether to take a new edition this year or choose an alternative publication. I hope you have taken in my comments re- sales next edition if this is not fixed. I really don't think at this stage that "We will be better by 2009" will do. By then the damage might well be irrevocable.
It is a combination of the accuracy and up to date nature of the data, combined with the presentation, photo quality and familiar format that have kept the loyal customer base willing to pay £45 for this book.
Listening to and absorbing all the comments and responding in such a concilliatory tone is great. But nothing you have said actually helps when I have been sent a second rate publication for a decidedly first class price! What about a second edition then? The way I see it, you have exactly two choices, both of which are going to cost you financially:
1. Re-print immediately, accepting that as the publisher you will have to bite the bullet and lose money in the short term. This would not be false economy as you would be satisfying the customers that FlightGlobal is serious about this You would be able to keep the very strong brand loyalty intact. I would be offering the second edition at cost to holders of the current new book. (And not just because I have got one!)
2. Wait till 2009 by which time, even if the book is 100% better, half the customers will not pre-order, but will wait till they can have a proper look at a copy to check it before buying. The other half won't wait, but will start using another reference source. The result of that would be uncertain sales, but definitely lower pre-orders, and I am sorry to predict, the end of JP Airline Fleets International as a leading brand.
Please get in touch with me directly if you wish. email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com . Although I do have some serious issues with the new book, I would very much like the opportunity to make some more constructive comments.
This appears to be a case of, 'if its not broken don't mess with it ' and clearly JP buyers are not pleased, however as someone who has a copy of the new JP , is not a spotter and has not in the past used it other than as a reference of last resort,: I would like to put forward a suggestion which will save ink (yes its allways about money with ES) and suggest that an improvement would be to normalise the data.
By this I mean remove redundant data; why is it necessary to duplicate aircraft models in the pages ad nauseum?
For example whats the point in having Boeing 737-832 and CFM56-7B26.... (dont ask me to count them) repeated to the point of giving the reader a headache, surely it makes more sense and enhances readability by only printing unique data like serial numbers.
Just a thought that might help everyone
Hi Ian,
I will contact you directly and hopefully hear your more constructive comments for future editions. I understand your frustrations, but Titch has been as honest as possible in answering your concerns and be assured that the decision to change the ordering wasn't taken lightly.
I am the site manager and although i didn't put the book together directly, i saw the great care and effort that was made in producing the book. Remember that Ulrich Klee, Ernst Sommer and Frank Bucher all still produced it (for the final time), so although the data is ordered slightly differently, they have still put in the hard yards to create the book and its information.
All we can do now is look to the future and '09 and beyond. I genuinely hope that you and the other posters who are unhappy with this year's book will stick with us and help contribute to next year's book, by uploading images to this site (that may be added to the book) and contributing to the JP Forum with suggestions and conversation.
We want to create an area for you, and hope that you stick around to join in!
Kind Regards
Maverick (site manager)
AirSpace - more than just hot air
I really appreciate the hard work that goes into the production of the book but when I as a customer pay 45GBP for the book I also expect it to keep its promise. For my part I will think twice before ordering the next edition and I know that many others will aswell.
With all the complaints on this forum the ball is in your court, but if all you want to do is say "next year will be better" then I get very worried for the future of this once fine publication, because you're basically admitting that this year's edition isn't very good.
As pointed out by others, why break the trust of your customers?

Anybody who believes that installing/re-installing WinXP is necessary or a PITA, let me introduce you to the few simple steps that will have your system in AHCI mode in no time at all.
1.) Download the most recent drivers for your SATA interface from the manufacturers site. (eg. for me it was the ICH7 AHCI drivers)
2.) Go to Device Manger/Hardware, select the Intel SATA/IDE Host controller, the click 'update drivers/selcet driver manually/have disk' and select the path you extracted your intel files into and select your chipset (ICH7 for me).
WinXP will warn you about the driver not being right, and not to install (because you are not in AHCI mode yet), but choose install anyway.
3.) Reboot. When your BIOS screen shows, select SETUP and enable AHCI, reboot again.
That's it, it may take a little longer on that first reboot, since Windows has to finish updating the registry and drivers. But after that, XP booted from the drives in AHCI-mode without any problems. No reinstall, no registry hacking, just a driver update to the latest AHCI drivers for you before enabling AHCI
Took me only a few minutes and I converted my XP install over to AHCI ready mode, and have been using it that way ever since.

A doctor in Greece photographed the delivery of a baby still inside the amniotic sac after it had been removed from the mother's body.
Dr. Aris Tsigris published the photo of the newborn on his Facebook page on March 12.
The baby was delivered via C-section.
This type of birth is extremely rare as typically the amniotic sac breaks on its own during birth. That moment is often referred to as the "water breaking."
The newborn was feeding off the placenta and began to breathe on its own once the placenta broke, according to Dr. Tsigris.

Sometimes an ice lure that makes a lot of sound produces the best action, but other times a quieter approach works best. Here's how to tell the difference.
Some ice lures come equipped with rattles, and the sounds they emit are as essential as their shape or action. Other ice lures are silent, and their lack of sound is as much a virtue as the rattles of the others. It's sort of like calling wild turkeys. In some situations, the only way to keep a turkey coming is to pour on the vocalizations. Other times, the best strategy is to shut up and wait.
Jon Thelen, host of the Internet fishing show Fish Ed and a lifelong ice fisherman from Minnesota, is a big advocate of using sound to attract fish, and he includes a lot of rattling in his ice-fishing approach. Thelen has learned, however, that knowing when not to use sound is every bit as important as knowing when and how to use it. Years of experience have helped Thelen develop several guiding principles for deciding when to break out the rattles and when to remain silent.
Notably, when Thelen talks about various factors, he typically talks about how he would begin fishing a spot. He makes his best initial choice based on what time has taught him, but he adjusts as he goes based on what the fish show him that day or even through a particular hole in the ice. He'll almost always have lures of both types tied on and ready.
It might also be worth noting that the factors don't always line up perfectly, and while one factor might point toward using a noisy approach another might suggest staying silent.
Water Color
"The color of the water has a huge influence on the behavior of the fish," Thelen said.
Generally speaking, Thelen is likely to begin with a silent lure when fishing clear water and a rattling lure if the water is more stained.
"When the water is dingy, I'll begin with rattles to bring in the fish. If it's really dingy I'll use a bigger rattling bait, partly because it will make more sound," Thelen said.
At the other end of the spectrum, if the water is clear but other factors suggest that a sound-emitting lure might work best, Thelen typically will turn to a small rattler that is less likely to spook the fish.
Fish in Sight
Another important decision point for Thelen comes based on what he sees on his electronics after he drills a new hole. If he does not see any fish but it's a hole that he wants to fish, Thelen normally will drop a lure that has rattles with hopes of calling in fish from nearby.
If he does see fish, he'll start with a silent lure, such as a Frostee Spoon tipped with a minnow head or a Frostee Jig baited with a whole live minnow, because he believes the lack of sound is one less foreign element that could spook fish that are already near enough to catch.
"If the fish are down there already, I want to use something that is less intrusive," Thelen said, noting that fish tend to be less hungry and substantially spookier under the ice than they are in the open water.
"On a windy summer day you have waves breaking up the light and making noise. Under the ice, the light stays constant through most of the day, and it's completely quiet, so you could easily spook a fish by suddenly introducing noise," Thelen said.

"For years, the right wing has been trying to stop people of color, young people, and seniors from voting in order to help Republicans get elected — and now some of America's biggest companies, like Duke Energy, are helping them do it."
Duke has helped pass discriminatory voter ID legislation by funding a rightwing policy group called the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC). Voter ID bills linked to ALEC have already passed in seven states, and similar voter ID bills have been introduced in 27 other states.
That's why we're joining our friends at Color of Change and a growing coalition of civil rights and environmental organizations calling on Duke Energy to end its support of this rightwing organization.
Supporters of discriminatory voter ID laws claim they want to reduce voter fraud (individuals voting illegally, or voting twice). But such fraud almost never actually occurs, and never in numbers large enough to affect the result of elections. What is clear is that voter ID laws prevent large numbers of eligible voters from casting a ballot, and could disenfranchise up to 5 million people.The truth is that voter ID laws are discriminatory — African Americans, Latinos, seniors, students, and the poor are all less likely to have the photo IDs necessary to vote under these laws. For example, if you've recently moved because of foreclosure or some other economic circumstance, you're more likely to have an address that is not your current residence on your driver's license. If you don't have a car, you're less likely to have a driver's license in the first place.
ALEC's voter ID laws are undemocratic, unjust and part of a longstanding rightwing agenda to weaken the voting blocs that historically oppose Republican candidates. We have to expose the major companies like Duke Energy that are helping ALEC suppress the votes of millions of Americans before it's too late.
In addition to Duke Energy's role in funding ALEC's voter suppression attempts, Duke is also a member of ALEC's Environment, Energy and Agriculture Task Force, which shapes ALEC's climate change denial and dirty energy agenda. Legislation drafted and supported by this task force undermines local environmental protections, thwarts efforts to address climate change and prevents major polluters from being held accountable.ALEC's extreme anti-environment efforts, which Duke Energy plays a key role in shaping and supporting, directly contradict Duke's frequently stated support for legislation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.
In the past, Duke has been sensitive to public pressure calling out its hypocrisy on environmental issues. In 2009, after the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity was embroiled in a forgery scandal intended to mislead members of Congress about pending federal climate change legislation, Duke parted ways with the group, saying its activities were "not consistent with Duke Energy's work to pass economy-wide and cost effective climate change legislation as soon as possible."
The same is now true of Duke's support for the American Legislative Exchange Council.
We hope Duke Energy will simply do the right thing and stop supporting ALEC. If they don't, we'll be prepared to shine a spotlight on them and make sure the world understands what they're involved in.

Answers Are Needed
We are on the cusp of a new age in medicine. Genetic researchers are closer than ever to solving some of the worst diseases plaguing mankind. Very long reads and highly accurate reads will power the next wave in genetic analysis.
Third Generation sequencing will be pivotal to the next advances in cancer research and infectious disease response. 3G Sequencing provides a high quality read of the entire genome. 3GS is able to pinpoint a sample to a single molecule to target a specific area of interest.
ZS Genetics Technology Will Have The Answers
Detailed images of individual DNA molecules: - Long reads - 20,000-50,000 base pairs - Single Molecule capability - Very fast cycle time - Sharply reduced informatics demands Read More...
ZS Genetics is creating a new and pivotal technology that will dramatically improve the rate of discovery and reduce the time-to-market for critical applications including cancer treatments and cures. Driving costs down and throughput higher will enable realization of the promise of personalized genomics.
The electron microscope-based DNA sequencing technology developed by ZS Genetics will rapidly sequence de novo genomes inexpensively.
The DNA sequencing long reads obtained by ZS Genetics technology makes haplotyping easier and more accurate, which is beneficial to the field of population genetics.
ZS Genetics DNA sequencing long reads are especially useful for analyzing duplications or amplifications, as it is possible to analyze the orientation of the amplified segments if they are captured in a single sequencing read.
ZS Genetics technology allows longer reads that would provide a more accurate picture of copy number, orientation of amplified regions, and SNPs present in cancer genomes.
ZS Genetics technology will allow longer reads that would greatly facilitate the assembly of new microbial genomes.

Seeking pre-installation tips (AH + HP)
Rusty or others,
This weekend I plan to start replacing my 25+ yr old HVAC system. I'm starting with the air handler. I'm EPA Universal certified and I've read everything I can get my hands on and have all the required HVAC tools/instruments. I've read factory installation/training manuals backwards and forwards. My new system is a 4T split system consisting of Rheem RHLA and RPNE. (also 20KW worth of strip heating). I've uncrated my new AH and HP and inspected it very carefully for any damage or missing components and all is OK. I simply want to know if you have any tips for checkout of new components before installation begins? My biggest concerns is DOE components from the factory but maybe I'm being too paranoid. Are there any likely "gotcha's" to look out for? (yes, I know there are a million gotchas I just wonder which are the most likely?) I plan to ohm out things like heat strips, check that all connectors are place, etc. Do you typically do any pre-installation continuity checkout of components like the GE X13 motor, Copeland compressor, reversing valve or get a pressure reading of factory R22 charge, etc?? My initial motivation started out as cost savings but quickly transitioned to a passion to learn refrigeration and complete theory of operation of HP based systems. I've already spend 100's of hours in studying, pre-planning and researching best known methods of the complete installation process. TIA P.S. I've previously practised my brazing/silver solder technique, done dry runs of the leak detection and evacuation process. I've also made a sheet metal return plenum transition piece that fits like a glove. (no tape, mastic, or duct board for me!!) However I will use RD Pro sealent on the downflow combustable base as a gasket per the installation manual. I've also gone thru my entire duct system and reconnected loose fittings, insulated where necessary and provided additional support where flex duct was sagging. |

TERRIBLE DESIGN and NO RETURN POLICYPros: NONE Cons: This terrible design is uncomfortable to use. The keys are slightly too sticky and high, and the function key is in an inconvenient place at the bottom left. I couldn't even plug this in my computer, because the minute I put my fingers on the keys, I hated it with such a passion that I went back to newegg to return it. Did you find this review helpful? |
GREAT choice for mac!Pros: - Easy to connect (easy access to pair button on bottom and battery door) Cons: - None as of yet Other Thoughts: I strongly recommend this keyboard for any mac users. I have it paired to my Mac Mini and it works flawlessly. Like many users, a number pad is a necessity for me. This should be the keyboard that ships with mac's. Did you find this review helpful? |
worthlessPros: wireless and has the mac shortcut keys Cons: Had the keyboard for more than 30 days (so I can't return it for a replacement) but less than 60 days and the keyboard it fried, worthless, non-operational. Not worth the shipping much less the low cost. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Excellent Option for MacPros: High quality apperence and feel Cons: None so far Other Thoughts: This keyboard is exactly what I have been looking for. I don't like the "Chiclets" style keys on the Apple bluetooth keyboard and I wanted a number pad as well. This was the only bluetooth keyboard I could find that was exactly what I wanted. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Unusably slow on WindowsPros: Good design, includes all the important PC buttons, as well as a numpad. Cons: Extremely laggy, to the point where it is impossible to actually type anything with it. Keys stick frequently. Will not stay paired with Windows. I will be returning it. 0 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Solid buyPros: I got this as a present for my HTPC (mac mini) because the USB keyboard I had kept having fits. It works great, wakes up fairly quickly (faster than my mouse), and doesn't chew through batteries too fast (I think I've changed them once, maybe twice in the past year). Cons: N/A Other Thoughts: I do turn mine off whenever I am wandering away and remember, mainly because the cat seems to think it's a comfy bed. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great KeyboardPros: I have one at home and needed one for the office, short key strokes, very respoinsive Cons: No cons 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awsome Bluetooth KeyboardPros: All around solid bluetooth keyboard. I like the three LEDs to give you status(Caps, Pairing Mode, and Low Battery). The nice snap to the keys is great. Unlike some other keyboards, the pairing button is easy to press without using a pen, but not so easy to hit that it gets accidently pressed. Cons: The keyboard uses AAA batteries rather then AA so the batteries don't last as long as I would like. AA are more economical in general. Other Thoughts: IMHO, good bluetooth keyboards are hard to find. They are either very expensive, or a piece of garbage. This keyboard is one of the exceptions. 5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Understanding Your Thyroid
| |||
By: H.N. Nagaraja, M.D. Understanding exactly how a thyroid functions can be somewhat complex. Weve heard of over-active and under-active thyroids, but what does it all mean? The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck. The thyroid fits around the esophagus and windpipe, contains a gel-like substance and is surrounded by a single layer of cells. The thyroid gland produces several hormones that help regulate growth, metabolism and energy levels. Thyroid problems are common. However, most of the time, symptoms will appear gradually over time. This makes it easier for symptoms to be misdiagnosed. Two common thyroid problems are overactive thyroid and underactive thyroid. Thyroid overactivity also called Hyperthyroidism results in an abundance of hormones caused by overstimulation by the bodys immune system. This can produce jitteriness/shaking/nervousness, sweating, palpitations, weight loss, insomnia, hyperactivity, fatigue, tremors, and anxiety. The most common cause of Hyperthyroidism is a condition called Grave's disease. Thyroid underactivity also called Hypothyroidism is an equally severe problem. In this condition, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thyroid gland. This results in a variety of symptoms including fatigue or lack of energy, weight gain, feeling cold, dry, scaly skin and hair, heavy menstrual periods (women), forgetfulness, constipation, a lower pulse rate, and slower reflexes. An endocrinologist can perform certain tests to measure the amount of hormones in the blood, which may indicate a malfunctioning thyroid. Once the diagnosis is made, the doctor can typically prescribe medications to help correct the condition(s). Dr. Nagaraja is board certified in Endocrinology/Metabolism and Internal Medicine. He has a special interest in thyroid conditions and offers extensive thyroid medical services, including thyroid evaluation, thyroid ultrasound, ultrasound fine needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid nodules and thyroid cancer follow up. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Noblesville Diabetes & Endocrinology at (317) 776-3520. | |||

St. John's College Welcomes Freshman Class
FOR RELEASE: August 18, 2010
CONTACT: Patricia Dempsey, 410-626-2539
The 2010-11 academic year at St. John's College opens on Wednesday, August 25, at 4:15 p.m. with Convocation. This annual ceremony brings together the St. John's community for a new year. At St. John's Convocation is rich with traditions that symbolize what it means to be part of this community of learners –a community where all students read the same great works of Western civilization and take part in discussion-based seminars.
This year, Annapolis welcomes 133 freshmen. After the academic procession to Francis Scott Key auditorium, each freshman is called on the stage to meet President Christopher Nelson, then sign his or her name in the college's register and receives an Ancient Greek lexicon as a gift from the dean of the college, Pamela Kraus.
This year the tradition of giving each student an Ancient Greek lexicon during Convocation has been revived. Last year freshmen did not receive them as the college responded to the recession.
The Annapolis undergraduate enrollment is expected to be 465 at the start of this year. In addition, 70 students are expected to begin or continue their studies in the college's Graduate Institute of Liberal Education.

M.S. Walk, Chattanooga, TN 2013 by Team Cure - 8 months ago
"My name is Angie. This is the Chattanooga, TN National MS Society Walk. Unfortunately it was a rainy spring day in April and you cannot see our shirts as well as I wanted. This photo was taken of our team that walks in the National MS Society Walk every year. This was a very special walk since this is 10 years since my diagnosis. These wonderful people that support me include my family, friends from church, friends from work and other wonderful friends I have met along the way. God has truly blessed me throughout this disease. My support network keeps me going. We ordered 30 shirts from children's x-small to adult XXL. They all looked wonderful. Everyone loved our shirts, walkers and event workers. My experience with CutstomInk was a dream. It was a thrill to watch the price go down per shirt as we ordered more. The customer service was wonderful when it came to finalizing the design. The design team exceeded my expectations when we got the final product. The artwork was amazing from the low quality design I provided. Definitely will use them again and recommend them to anyone that needs custom t-shirts. "

Williamsburg, Virginia
American Heritage RV Park
[ 6/10 ]
The sites are close together and there are no trees or bushes in between them, so there is little privacy. The restrooms and showers were very good and clean. They pick up your trash at your site. We did not use the laundry but it looked clean and well kept. This park is convenient to Colonial Williamsburg and the outlet mall.
St Augustine Beach, Florida
Anastasia State Park
[ 9/10 ]
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at Anastasia State Park. The sites are very private with trees and ground cover in between each site. The restrooms and showers were clean and well kept. It was a short walk to the ocean. There is free WiFi at the ocean-side shop. There are two short hiking trails.

WTF is the point of making it available in cities only?
Right now I use an add-on that places me in the LFG channel automatically whenever I'm ungrouped, and this channel is available everywhere. Which is as it should be, I'm not necessarily in a city when I'm looking for a group, I could be doing dailies or w/e.
I hope they change this, it's a really stupid design decision.

Big Art Sale at Braunstein/Quay Gallery!
By Allison McCarthy on July 15, 2011 11:00 AM
The bad news? After 50 years in business, Braunstein/Quay Gallery in SoMa will be closing its doors as Ruth Braunstein retires.
The good news? Massively discounted art. Over the years, Braunstein/Quay has shown an impressive roster of artists, so this is your chance to score great work for can't-beat-it prices. The exhibition will be hung salon-style, and new work will be added as works are sold straight from the gallery's walls.

The fight against HIV and Aids is an ongoing battle in South Africa. Sony has teamed up with Grassroot Soccer to initiate a programme which aims to help the fight against these diseases through the power of football.
For the next generation
This initiative fits perfectly into Sony's extensive global CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities for the next generation, and 'Dream Goal 2010' - a CSR project developed around the FIFA World CupTM. Sony employees around the world are also taking part in supporting the project, and together with its partners such as GRS, Sony aims to support the Millennium Development Goals.
Football as a common starting ground
Grassroot Soccer is a South African-based non-profit organisation that uses football as a common starting ground to promote the fight against HIV and Aids by providing young people with the knowledge, skills, and support to remain HIV-free. GRS's flagship site is in South Africa and forms part of the greater Football for an HIV-Free Generation initiative in South Africa. GRS focuses on the transfer of the necessary skills, tools and content to individuals and implementing partners to enhance their ability to implement effective HIV prevention activities.
Sony and GRS plan to educate 230,000 young people in South Africa over the next three years and reach in excess of five million people on a quarterly basis with prevention and stigma reduction messages. The FIFA World Cup™ tickets available as part of the Ticket Fund are to be used as an incentive for service or participation in GRS's many campaigns and programmes in South Africa. They will be awarded as rewards for commitment, not as prizes in lottery-style competitions.
• Give young people and adults from disadvantaged backgrounds an unprecedented football experience.
• Effectively distribute up to 15,000 tickets to disadvantaged young people and adults involved in development programmes around South Africa – particularly in and around the nine host cities.
• Use the tickets as a tool for stimulating and rewarding the development of communities by the communities themselves
• Create strong links between Grassroot Soccer, Sony and other organisations within South Africa, with a focus on long-term change.
• Ensure that those attending matches are delivered to and returned home safely from the FIFA World Cup venue(s).
