I'm in the process of getting quotes for a new Heat Pump for our house in the washington dc area which we just purchased. The house is 12 yrs old, dual zoned. The upper level zone is an attic mounted heat-pump. About 1300 sf.
The local contractors are proposing the following systems (all single stage - variable speed AH):
Do i go with Trane based on the proposals? Does it matter if AH is 2.5 vs 3 ton if outside unit is 2.5ton? |
Follow-Up Postings:

I think I can answer your 2nd question: No. basically, the 3ton unit can be set (the blower) to a lower speed for the 2.5 coil. I could look, but are these the Xn15 units being spec'ed? |
The trane outside units are both XL15i. |
- Posted by tigerdunes (My Page) on Tue, Mar 20, 12 at 12:35
Cisco there are three equally important components-quality HVAC, the install by dealer, and probably the most overlooked and disregarded is the ductwork system. these are my minimum specs for a new HP system. both outside and inside units should be replaced to have a properly matched system. 15 SEER, 12.5+ EER, 9 HSPF you want a thorough inspection of your ductwork system. size, overall condition, supply and return lines, insulation qualities, leak test, etc. any hot/cold spot issues in your home should be addressed. I would only use authorized dealers for the various brands that provide quotes. see mfg websites. I would look at Trane/AmStd,Rheem/Rudd,Carrier/Bryant. Depending on your location, I would not purchase a new HP system that did not have electronic demand defrost. IMO |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Jack!
Facts about Jack
- Breed: American Shorthair
- Color: Orange Or Red Tabby
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Jack's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, not good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jack is a very cute and sweet little boy. He is a traditional orange striped tabby. He was born on April 12, 2011 and has just been neutered so he's ready to go to a new loving home. He would love to be adopted with his brother Jason, a beautiful bulls eye tabby. He loves to play with feather toys and chase balls and curl up in your lap.
Other Pets at Smitty's Cat Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jack, a Chester American Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Shorthair for sale in Chester, or seeking a American Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Chester.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Chester already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Chester breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Shorthair breeders who help with American Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Chester paves the way for another one to be saved.

Robert Koch Institute
This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2009) |
As part of the Federal Government of Germany, the Robert Koch Institute (abbreviated RKI) is an organization responsible for disease control and prevention. It is located in Berlin and Wernigerode, and is a part of the Federal Ministry of Health.
The Institute was formed by Robert Koch in 1891 as The Royal Prussian Institute for Infectious Diseases.[1] The director from 1917–1933 was Fred Neufeld who discovered the pneumococcal types.
The Institute prepares a report on cancer in Germany every two years.[2] The institute also plays a role in advising the German government on outbreaks, such as the 2009 swine flu outbreak.[3] In 1941 the Institute was directly involved in setting up experiments into typhus at Buchenwald Concentration Camp which resulted in the deaths of 127 of the 537 camp inmates involved.[4]
2011 E. coli outbreak[edit]
Reinhard Burger, president of the Institute, said the pattern of the 2011 E. coli outbreak had produced enough evidence to draw the conclusion that German vegetable sprouts caused the outbreak (that has killed 50 and sickened nearly 3,100) even though no tests on sprouts from an organic farm in Lower Saxony, Germany had come back positive for the E. coli strain behind the outbreak.[5]

In an unusual twist, a nonprofit that provides services to people with developmental disabilities is being sued for allegedly turning down a job applicant because of her special needs.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is charging that Pace Solano — a California disability services provider — violated the Americans with Disabilities Act when the organization withdrew a job offer made to Katrina Holly.
After being offered a position teaching adults with developmental disabilities, Holly took a pre-employment physical exam and was cleared by a doctor to perform the job, according to the lawsuit filed in federal court last week.
However, the EEOC alleges that Pace Solano subsequently declined to hire Holly because she has partial paralysis in one hand, something that she disclosed during the exam.
"When they told me I wasn't getting the job, I was sure there was some mistake," Holly said in a statement. "I was shocked to be told that it was because of my disability. Most people are unaware of it, and it didn't prevent me from doing any of the tasks they tested me on."
An attorney for Pace Solano told the San Francisco Chronicle that the disability bias charges are unwarranted. He said that Holly was not hired because her ability to lift heavy objects was limited and could pose a safety concern if she was unable to move a client, for example.
Pace Solano serves nearly 400 people with developmental disabilities in Solano County, Calif. through day programs and life skills training, according to its website.
The EEOC is asking for back pay and lost wages as well as compensatory and punitive damages on Holly's behalf.

OUTRAGEOUS> I also have little use of one hand – and I worked as a nurse at the VA on adult men psychiatric patients – much lifting or at least moving necessary – there is always ways to move a person and most people with limited use of a limb know how to compensate. Bah humbug. Sue their shirts off!
Wow, I'm speechless. Perhaps the Regional Center should consider revoking Pace Solano's vendorization.
Yeah – and the biggest violators of labor laws (at least in NYS, last I checked) are unions…..
Regrettably California disability programs can discriminate about who they employ or serve in special day programs. Regional Centers, who vendor the programs, seem to be complicit is allowing this to happen.
It is not uncommon. My son has nut allergies and is medically fragile. No day program will serve him, or transport him because of the liability issues. Finally someone is taking them to court. Good for her. -
Why am I not surprised? This is simply another manifestation of the "them vs us" way of thinking. I am sorry to say it but some professionals who work with people who have disabilities are bolstering their own need to feel better about themselves by insisting that those they serve are less than they are. Add to that a little power and control and you end up with stupid decisions such as this. Blaming possible risk and insurance companies is a convenient excuse. I placed two people with schizophrenia working as paid staff in a group home for people with mental illnesses over 10 years ago. We have a strong peer counseling focus in our state now. These programs add beef at a lower cost to service systems assisting people with mental illness. Welcome to our past and your future California. It is time to let go of "them" and join "us"!!!!!
On behalf of the EEOC, state/local Human Relations Commissions, and private attorneys with civil-rights practices:
THANK YOU to whoever it was at Pace Solano who disclosed the anti-disability bias. Smoking-gun evidence like that is notoriously difficult to come by. Its availability here almost certainly helped the EEOC decide to prosecute this one itself. You did the right thing, discloser. Much appreciated.
HELP!!!!! Myself and another person are going through something si,ilar to this with PACE SOLANO. We need to get in contact with Ms. Holly and her attorney. I know we can help her case and she could quite possibly help us. PACE SOLANO is out of control.

i bought a couple of thousands seeds through seedsavers.org. i live in booklyn - i have no idea what to do with all these seeds although it didn't seem like much when i ordered them.
will they keep for next year? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Hi, Yes, you can keep them for next year. Most seeds will keep for a few years or even longer. Only a few have a short life, the onion family and corn are two that I can think of that you might have got seeds of. Store them in a cool dark dry spot in your home. Remy |

Lettuce seed is the only one that I've had a problem getting to germinate after a year. (It is supposed to last several years. Go figure.) Everything else has been fine. |
I saw a special on one of the sciencey tv networks in which people were able to grow varieties that had been extinct for half a century, because someone stored some seeds properly. Basically, they were kept in a dark, dry place. Of course, it's probably not the case for ALL seeds, but I know I've grown tomatoes, lettuce and acorn squash from old seeds before. (I just planted some acorn squash seeds that I harvested in 2004, what remains from what I used up last year, and I expect they should be fine). I stored my old seeds in an air-tight container. I don't know if this is even necessary, but it didn't seem to hurt them. |

Greetings, I have a bunch of seeds packages that range from 6 to 12 years old. They have been stored in a variety of places. Please advise. Best… Frank |
Frank, Please start a new thread and post what types of seeds you have. Thank you, Remy |
- Posted by gardener_mary 6 MA (My Page) on Fri, Apr 24, 09 at 17:32
Its important to keep them in a cool, dark, dry place. I keep mine in a container in the refrigerator. The germination rate will go down some each year, faster on somethings than others. Onion are said to only be able to be kept for 1 yr, I had a 5 yr old package with about 60 seed so I planted them (just to see) not thinking I would really get anything from them. 14 seeds germinated, thats almost 25%. So I would not count on most germinating when they start getting old, but I would not just discount them. I've also planted 3 15 yr old tomato seeds and had 2 of them germinate. If your using older seed its a little more of a gamble but like the lottery you never know if you don't try it. If more grow than you can use, you can always share. Good gardening, Mary |

random musings of a professional geek
I've just been reading an article on arstechnica where a "media psychiatrist" by the name of Carole Lieberman tries to link violent video games with rape. Ars do a good god of discrediting her. It's clear from the outset that her statements are just plain wrong, as they're based on pure hypothesis and have no scientific backing.
I'm not going to touch on the rape-related aspects of what she has to say. Sexual violence is the product of a sick and abnormal mind, and is not something that should be trivialized in any way. There is little enough proof that violent games cause any kind of increased violent behaviour, let alone violent behaviour of a sexual manner.
As an attempt of showing "proof" of her point, Lieberman refers to studies that show a link between violent offending and violent video games. Most of these studies are based on the hypothesis that the violence in video games is having an effect outside of the game, and is causing a rise in violence in the real world. Some of these studies have shown that there is indeed a link, and that violent people are more likely to play violent games. But what does that mean?
With most of these studies it's hard to draw a conclusion. This is because the studies only show a correlation, not a causal effect. On one hand you could say that the violence in games is bringing out violent behaviour in people – the game is spilling out into real life. On the other hand, you could say that violent people use violent games as an outlet so that they don't have to act out in real life. Without any further evidence, either of these could be equally true.
It's all too often that we see the confusion between correlation and causality. The media tend to be particularly bad at this. There's a link between drugs and social misbehaviour? It's gotta be the drugs that cause it. We're erecting more cellphone towers, and now bees colonies are disappearing? It's the towers! The thing we can control has got to be responsible for the thing we can't!
More often than not, the media is wrong. Sure, those people who are seen as social deviants may use drugs more. But what if it's merely a symptom of deeper issues, and not the issue itself? That's a side to the issue that most people don't even think about. Cell towers were blamed for Colony Collapse Disorder for a long time, but now the evidence seems to show that they are nothing but a red herring.
It's time to start thinking for yourselves, people! Question what you've been told, especially if it's in any way controversial. You may just find that some so-called truths are less true than they seem.
"When I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes."

We are re-writing history through our interpretations of pop culture!
Hand dyed yarn and homemade project bags for all your knitting and crocheting needs
Ever wonder where the name Spartickes Dyes came from? Well, our last name is Ickes (ick-us), and we are a family that is kind of obsessed with pop culture, so I combined Spartacus (the gladiator) with our last name. In the end, Spartacus dies, but I prefer that Spartickes Dyes. It is happier for all of us! *
*Full disclosure: I stole the name from my husband. It serves him right for giving me a last name that nobody can pronounce, right?

More reviews by theymightbejenny
I just had to review this product because it is decidedly the best smelling thing I own! Old Navy was having a half-off sale and I picked up this hand cream as well as the matching reed-diffuser. Boy, am I glad I did. This little baby cost me $1.75 (normally $3.50) and it is like therapy for me. Whenever I am stressed out at work, I put a little on my hands and just smell the heavens themselves. If you like citrusy scents, this is for you. It isn't a very complex scent, but because it is specifically a grapefruit scent, it does have a slightly bitter note if you smell it up close, but I love that. I'm tempted to go back to the store and stock up - something I NEVER do. That's how good it is.

Nov 19th 2011 4:05PM I've been raiding as Arms for the past 3 or so weeks, and I can break the 30k mark on tank and spank fights like Occu'thar and Baleroc, which is a decent enough output. However, the rotation is really clunky right now with having to macro stance switches for maximum performance.
On a side note, regarding the column, I'd like to see some discussion on the proposed new stance model for MoP (Battle - Single; Berserker - AoE), because I really dislike it. Stance changing used to be a defining skill and good warriors were beauty in motion when utilizing their skill repertoire to full. Now, with most of the restrictions lifted, there's little gap between an average warrior and a masterul one, and the new stance will just make everyone macro Zerker to Whirlwind/Bladestorm/Thunderclap and Battle to MS/BT.

Gear Review
couldnt be happier
in the past, i have owned watches like the nixon players watch (metal link cuff) and i didnt like how it would slide around on my wrist...not the case with the scout! it stays secure on my wrist and moves with my wrist movements so i hardly remember its there. simple and durable and a great investment. a date dial would have been a nice feature, but it does its job as a watch...telling time and complimenting the wearer. my only concern is how im going to change the battery as the webbed cuff is locked tight against the watch backing and i dont see how i will be able to access it when the time comes. but until then, im not concerned whatsoever

Scholarship Luncheon Honors Both Students and Donors
Scholarship Luncheon Honors Both Students and Donors
Since Dean Christohper Edley, Jr.'s arrival in 2004, one of his top priorities has been strengthening financial aid to ensure that Boalt remains accessible to all qualified students. That effort is bolstered greatly by the generosity of alumni and friends who provide named scholarships to exceptional Boalt students. Contributors and recipients were honored April 16 in the Goldberg Room at the law school's annual Scholarship Luncheon, where they had a chance to interact and discuss their careers and aspirations. Speakers included Robert Barr, executive director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology; Mallun Yen '95, who spearheaded fundraising for a scholarship in his name; and scholarship recipient Lauren Smith '14.
"I'm incredibly grateful that I was selected to receive the Robert Barr Scholarship this past year," Smith said. "It will go a long way towards supporting my commitment to public interest and technology law, and it's an honor to receive a scholarship in the name of someone who has built such a legacy at Boalt and in the field of technology law. The scholarship program allows those of us facing immense loan burdens to receive much-needed relief as we attempt to finance an increasingly expensive legal education."

During her 22 weeks of training there, Joanne passed a battery of other tests--academic, physical, psychological. She never thought that the one test she didn't take would turn out to be a problem.
Joanne liked being a cop, but it wasn't easy being a female on the force. Not only did she get less respect from the criminals on the street than her male counterparts did, but she got less from many of the men she worked with. While she had several good partners, she thought of others as "slugs" and the "epitome of the jelly-doughnut cop," officers who showed little initiative. They didn't appreciate her gung-ho nature.
Still, Cordova was commended for her initiative and was soon receiving outstanding performance reviews. But among her less enthusiastic colleagues, she also earned a reputation of being "difficult" to work with. She ignored them and tried to go about her work as she believed it should be done.
Joanne believed she would easily make detective someday--but her goals were much more lofty than that. She wanted to make lieutenant, then captain. She looked up to other female officers, especially Lieutenant Miriam Reed, an intelligent, dedicated officer who everyone thought had a shot at becoming Denver's first female chief of police. If not, Cordova fantasized, maybe I will.
She wasn't interested in small-time crimes. Although her patrol area included Colfax Avenue, she ignored the women who stood on the corners there, hopping into cars for short, frantic assignations. She knew that most of those women were drug addicts who lived from one trick to the next, just getting enough money to stay high.
Cordova wanted to catch the robbers and the burglars and the rapists. She dreamed of catching a killer and testifying at his trial, seeing that justice was done.
Her instructors at the police academy had taught her how to present herself in court. Listen politely to the attorneys, but address your answers to the jury. Make good eye contact...jurors believe witnesses who look them in the eyes. And whatever you do, don't let the defense attorneys get under your skin.
Finally, she got her chance to put a murderer away--even if the crime wasn't exactly a whodunit. A man called the police dispatcher to say he'd shot his wife in the head.
Cordova and her partner were the first to arrive on the scene. The man hadn't lied: His wife lay in a pool of blood in the middle of the living room. But Cordova knew that many cases were thrown out of court or lost at trial because of sloppy police work, and she was determined to do this by the book.
"She was yelling at me," the shooter said as Cordova strained to catch every word. "I picked up a beer can and took a drink. Then I picked up a gun and told her, 'I'm going to shoot you if you don't shut up.'" But his wife kept yelling, and so he'd pulled the trigger.
Joanne remembered what he said and wrote it down verbatim.
Months later, she went to court and testified as she had practiced. Word for word, she recounted the defendant's statement.
The cross-examination wasn't as dramatic as she'd envisioned; the defense version of events was that the gun had gone off accidentally. But Cordova recounted what the defendant had said and stuck to it.
The man was convicted. It was the proudest moment of Cordova's career.
Life was good for Joanne Cordova. She was a decent cop. She was still in love with Leuthauser. And she was also part owner, or so she thought, of a company that allowed her to buy nice things--a Corvette, a Bronco II, a home with a $1,000-a-month mortgage. The moonlighting business was going well, even though new Denver mayor Federico Pena had promoted Tom Coogan to police chief. Coogan had declined to grant Leuthauser hundreds of hours of overtime--some from the Associated Grocers investigation--and had also transferred him from the detective bureau into a substation as a night patrol supervisor.
As Joanne became more secure professionally and personally, she grew tired of Leuthauser controlling everything she did in her private life. She also found that he was not only cheating on his wife, he was cheating on her. And in 1985, two and a half years after their affair began, Joanne called it quits.
Leuthauser did not take it well. She would later claim that he told her, "I made you, I can break you." And that, she believed, was exactly what he proceeded to do.
On July 27, 1985, Joanne's 27th birthday, she got a call from her sergeant saying a Denver Post reporter was asking for her. She returned the reporter's call.
He wanted to know if she was aware that criminal charges of second-degree forgery, criminal impersonation and conspiracy had been filed against Joanne Cordova and her sister, Jeannie. According to the charges, the reporter told her, the Denver Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau was saying that Jeannie Cordova had taken the police entrance exam for Joanne when she was in Mexico, and as a result, Joanne had been "impersonating" a police officer for the past two-plus years.

I have someone who has an Amorphophallus . He has had the same plant for 50 years. He said this year is the first time that it has every multiplied. He now has seven tubulars instead of one. He wants to know why it decided to divide now. My thought was that the original tubular has lost its strength and is probably going to die. Plants have a tendency to reproduce or produce extra seeds when they are dying. Does anyone else have an idea on this? Thanks |

If you don't get an answer here, I would try the Aroid Forum. Amorphophallus is an aroid. You might want to make a note that the word is tuber, not tubular, in case you wanted to look it up. |

The main color of this comforter is a dark brown. I was a little disappointed when it arrived. On my computer the color looks navy, which is what I wanted. The other colors are what they seem, but just to let you know it is not black or navy, it is a dark brownish/olive color. I will be returning and looking for another comforter. Other than that the quality was good for the price.
Was a little disappointed by the color and on site description. Not what I thought however, I will make it work!
I was looking forward to getting this comforter for my son mainly to see how the colors compare to the picture on the website. I was pleasantly surprised - it looked like the prior reviewers stated - not gray (more of a taupe) and not black (very deep olive green?) Which will work fine in his room. However when I pulled it out of the bag, I was very dissapointed with the overall quality - I would expect to pay about $25 for this quality. The stitching is poor and there are random threads all over it displaying poor workmanship. It also seems to be covered in lint??? It's very light-weight - cheap fill, which is ok if you don't want a heavy comforter. Since it's for my son's room and these colors work (and I'm too lazy) I probably won't send this back, but I have a feeling I'll regret it - especially when I go to wash it - it will likly fall apart, if not before then. I wouldn't buy this again or recommend it to anyone.
The colors in the picture are very vibrant. The actual colors are quite dull and sort of faded. The quality seemed fine but the color was disappointing. I returned it.
Nice fabric but wish the comforter was a bit thicker!
I love this comforter. it is really nice quality, very soft.
Very good quality, washes nice and I am very happy with my purchase!
This is a very well-constructed product, that is sure to keep one warm and cozy in the winter months! Doesn't lose its color, and maintains a "like-new" appearance. Very easy to wash, very soft. Very happy, and would highly recommend.
very nice comforter for the price. I will buy one more in different color. My son loves very cozy and soft.
Sheets were incredibly thin, easy to see through even on a cloudy day. Not shocking given the price, but I still had hopes they would have other issues I would have been more tolerant of, like stiffness (I'm weird and partial to stiff sheets). These however are thin and flimsy and I'm sure a hole would have worn in them within a few weeks of wear and washing. I returned them.
