Latest Hydrogen fuel Stories
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Mazda Motor Corp. said on Wednesday it will begin leasing a dual-fuel car that can run on both hydrogen and gasoline in the auto industry's latest effort to reduce oil consumption in vehicles.
Automakers outlined plans on Tuesday to introduce hydrogen-powered cars in California but said they had a long road ahead, despite strong support from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger who dreams of a "hydrogen highway."
Astronomical costs for delivering hydrogen-powered cars and the network to run them mean clean vehicles are years away from competing against today's polluting rivals, even if oil prices stay at record highs. Proponents of the technology insist that a hydrogen-powered future is closer than most believe.
What if all the vehicles now on the road in the United States were suddenly powered by hydrogen fuel cells? Stanford researchers say in a June 24 article in the journal Science that such a conversion would improve air quality, health and climate -- especially if wind were used to generate the electricity needed to split water and make hydrogen in a pollutionless process.
President George W. Bush stared inquisitively down into the nozzle of a hydrogen fuel hose on Wednesday, then pumped the fuel into a blue compact car as he renewed his plea for Congress to pass a wide-ranging energy bill.
- Forsooth! indeed! originally a parenthetical phrase used in repeating the words of another with more or less contempt or disdain.

I love garlic ice cream
My husband and I ate our way through the Hudson Valley Garlic festival today. The festival was packed, as expected, and traffic was slow-going on the way in. Fortunately, the leaves are just starting to change, so we got in some small-scale leaf peeping while we waited. I had a couple items I knew I […] [Read More]
100-mile diet taken too far?

His sadists stripped me, tied me down then gave me electric shock torture.
The brave British doctor suffered three sessions of electric shock torment at the notorious Villa Grimaldi interrogation centre in the Chilean capital Santiago.
The screams of other prisoners echoed through the grim corridors.
Now Dr Cassidy believes 82-year-old Pinochet, under arrest in a private London hospital, should finally face justice.
She told The Mirror last night: "He should be kept in prison for the rest of his life. It is only right and just.
"I just wish this had happened a long time ago and that Pinochet was a younger man."
Dr Cassidy, 61, recalled her nightmare in an exclusive interview at her Plymouth home.
She said: "As I lay bound I was given a violent electric shock and I realised to my horror that my sadistic torturers had attached electrodes to my body. The pain was excruciating.
"During the three torture sessions I was frequently fondled and asked if I enjoyed it, threatened with rape, whipping and being molested by rats."
Secret police also threatened her with an alsatian dog trained to assault women who were bound to beds.
She said: "I spoke personally to two girls who had been subjected to this treatment. They were incredibly brave and restrained having been through such a hideous ordeal."
Dr Cassidy fell foul of the Chilean dictator's bloody regime in 1975 when she was 38 and working at a hospital in Santiago.
She was asked by a priest to treat a man who had been shot and was on the run from Pinochet's thugs.
"I treated him as a doctor seeing a sick person - it was not a political act," she said. But the doctor was arrested and tortured with electric wires attached to her genitals in an attempt to discover the gunshot victim's hideout.
She was kept in solitary confinement for three weeks, imprisoned for another five and then expelled from the country. The torturers gagged her with a towel to muffle her screams.
One shouted repeatedly: "Give it to her, give it to her."
Dr Cassidy was lashed to the bed by the wrists and ankles and by wide straps across her stomach and shoulders to constrain the violent convulsions brought on by electric shocks.
Finally, she offered to show the secret police the address they wanted.
But the house she picked at random was occupied by a terrified elderly couple so she admitted being mistaken.
She was driven back to the prison and the agony began again.
The bruises around the top of her body took two weeks to fade.
Later, she was forced to sign a statement saying she had not been tortured.
But she explained: "It would have been suicidal to refuse with a machine- gun in my ribs."
Dr Cassidy was held with 25 other women. "I shall never forget the people who were tortured and imprisoned with me," she said. "I was among 80 women and 400 men who were arrested and jailed and I was appalled by some of the stories they told me, including how some people just disappeared.
"People were tortured in the cell next to me. I used to hear their screams coming through the walls. I remember one man being taken away and tortured. The guards brought his blood-stained shirt back to our cell and ordered one of the girls to wash it.
"Before I left jail I wrote the names of all the girls being held prisoner on the inside of the waistband of my jeans.
"When I got home I went charging up to the Foreign Office to make sure they knew of them. Then I went to Geneva to campaign for their release."
Dr Cassidy's terrible ordeal strengthened her Catholic faith and led indirectly to the work with the terminally ill which has won her international acclaim.
She became medical director of Plymouth's St Luke's Hospice, and also works at the city's Derriford Hospital.
Dr Cassidy told The Mirror: "I do not harbour any hatred for my tormentors."
And she said of the ex-dictator's arrest: "My only concern now is that I don't want to see any destabilisation in Chile which is still recovering from the Pinochet years. I do not want people to see this as just wreaking revenge on a sick and old man, however wicked he was, although his people showed no mercy to pregnant woman and old and sick persons.
"It is right and proper that he should now experience the fear and loss of liberty that his victims went through."
Pinochet seized power in 1973 and is held responsible for the deaths of 3,197 innocent people with another 1,000 unaccounted for. He ruled for 17 years until 1990.
Chilean exiles in Britain also told last night of their suffering at the hands of the Pinochet regime.
One was hung from a helicopter by his feet and and still can't walk properly 20 years later.
An imprisoned college lecturer had to sleep on bare floorboards and saw two fellow prisoners taken out and shot.
Former union leader Pedro Fuentes, now a community worker in Sheffield, spent two years in jail before escaping Chile.
"I was one of the lucky ones," he said.

Customer trapped in bank for five hours after popping in for some cash
A customer who popped into a bank to get some money out ended up being trapped inside for nearly five hours.
The man walked into Metro Bank in Uxbridge at 6am on Sunday to use a cash machine. But the door locked behind him which meant he was stuck.
Normally, customers can use their card to get in and out the building. He was eventually rescued by worker in a neighbouring coffee shop. Speaking to the Mirror, Sana Khan said:
Boris Johnson chosen as Uxbridge conservative candidate
Boris Johnson took a vital step tonight along his road to a return to Parliament. The Mayor of London has just been chosen as the official conservative candidate in Uxbridge, west of London, for the general election next May .
The London Mayor won on the first ballot and says he is 'obviously thrilled' that the Uxbridge and South Ruislip Conservative Association has chosen him as Tory candidate. He was one of four candidates tonight and faced a series of questions on local issues before his selection was announced just after 10pm.
He has said the next stage will be a 'tough fight' and a 'long fight' and that he plans to remain as Mayor of London until the end of his second term in May 2016.

Boris Johnson 'has advantage over rivals' in Uxbridge
By Simon Harris: Political Correspondent
A senior Tory in the west London constituency where Boris Johnson hopes to become a Parliamentary candidate admits the mayor has an advantage over his rivals.
Johnson is one of four applicants who face a grilling tonight from local Conservative party members in Uxbridge & South Ruislip.
The local Conservative association is holding a selection meeting before voting by secret ballot to choose a candidate for the 2015 general election.
Hillingdon council leader Ray Puddifoot helped draw up the shortlist from 62 would-be MPs who applied:

A shortlist of three or four names is being prepared, with the winner being announced next Friday.
Is Uxbridge ready for Boris?
The deadline for applications in the safe Tory seat of Uxbridge passed today, and Boris Johnson's form was on the pile. The seat is so safe, bookies have stopped taking bets on him winning. So, Ria Chatterjee went to find out if Uxbridge is ready for Boris.

Characterizes legal action as a stroke on behalf of online ad sellers worldwide.
The five lawsuits filed by Microsoft against entities thought to be spreading "malvertising" should be seen as more than an effort to help unwary consumers using Microsoft networks, said the company. The litigation is an attempt to battle a phenomenon that threatens many legitimate companies in the online ad industry, it said.
"We believe these to be the first lawsuits filed that directly target the emerging threat of malvertising affecting online advertising networks worldwide," said a statement from Microsoft. "This kind of threat is not limited to Microsoft networks. It's a concern for online advertising service providers worldwide."
Microsoft Associate General Counsel Tim Cranton, in a blog post announcing the litigation, described malvertising as "the industry term for malicious online advertising," and noted Microsoft works with other providers of online ad platforms to fight the practice. "But we're now taking that effort a step further," Cranton wrote. "Our filings in King County Superior Court in Seattle outline how we believe the defendants operated, but in general, malvertising works by camouflaging malicious code as harmless online advertisements."
He said the phony ads "then lead to harmful or deceptive content" such as redirecting users to sites that advertise "rogue security software, also known as scareware" which issues fake claims about finding or preventing viruses, malware and other unwanted intrusions on the computer. "Malvertising may also directly infect a victim's computer with malicious software like Trojans -- programs that can damage data, steal personal information or even bring the users' computer under the control of a remote operator," explained Cranton.
He said Microsoft's work in battling malvertising and scareware "is vitally important because online advertising helps keep the Internet up and running." Cranton called advertising "the fuel that drives search technologies," and added that it pays for free services including Windows Live, Facebook, Yahoo and MSN. "Fraud and malicious abuse of online ad platforms are therefore a serious threat to the industry and for all consumers and businesses that rely on these free services," wrote the attorney.
In a separate statement, Microsoft said it plans to continue taking "proactive action" on nefarious online ad-related practices as part of an "ongoing commitment to promote the integrity of the digital advertising community and help create a safer, more trusted Internet experience for everyone."
The company said its investigations continue, but it believes it successfully cleaned its networks of the malvertising.
The lawsuits were filed in King County Superior Court in Seattle. Named as defendants in the Microsoft lawsuits are entities named "Soft Solutions," "Direct Ad," "qiweroqw.com," "ITmeter INC." and "ote2008.info." Cranton acknowledged Microsoft doesn't know the names of the people involved in the scams but hopes the litigation will lead to their identification.
Microsoft's actions follow an incident in which an unknown number of NYTimes.com readers were exposed to what the company called a "rogue ad." According to its own report, The Times ad took over the browsers of many site visitors, filling their screens with a fake computer virus scan. They were then peddled an anti-virus software, described in the story as "more snake oil than a useful program."

Tip on Engineered Hardwood - Sand it down!
We recently purchased a home in Central Florida. Its over 6000 square feet. We're in the midst of a substantial renovation and one of the first things we tackled were very ugly (in our opinion) Orange-Shiney engineered floors ..
We were absolutely sure we'd be spending our entire budget if we had to pull them up and replace them (we hated them that bad). Coming from the North East though - where 'real' hardwood floors are the norm - we first thought of sanding them and refinishing them. Our first challenge was even finding someone in Sarasota FL who had experience refinishing floors (seems most the folks we talked to could only talk about putting down all new engineered floors - perhaps because so many homes are newer down here). Well we found someone and had him sand down the floors in the office for a test. LOW & BEHOLD ..underneath all that shiney orangey color were beaufiful Maple floors. We had him put down BONA finish (water based so the maple won't yellow over time) and they look absolutely beautiful.
I'll share pictures when we're done (the rest of the floors are now on hold while we do the rest of the renovation which involves alot of demolition of walls /etc ). But I wanted to share this tip with anyone who buys a home or has a home w/ Engineered Wood Floors -- trying sanding them down first (oh and we could have tried a stain on them but maple is notorious for not taking stain well -- so we're sticking with the natural maple that we found underneath).
If anyone wants any details or wants an excellent 'wood floor' guy in the sarasota / tampa / naples area -- please reach out to me.
THE UGLY ORANGEY SHINEY ENGINEERED FLOORS (stay tuned for the lovely natural maple we found 'underneath' )
*** NOTE ..this is not our furniture -- this is the Realtor's picture of the living room w/ the prior owner's stuff!! **
The benefits of using engineered wood floors�include more resistance to higher moisture levels than solid wood flooring,�which adds to their appeal to use in damp basements or in regions of the country that have higher relative humidity levels. Also, engineered can be direct glued-down over (dry) concrete slabs above or below grade or stapled down over a wood subfloor.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
North End proud
It's a place where people look past your pain and see your potential
Whenever I drive home, north over the railway tracks on the Arlington or Salter Street bridges, I can't help but feel a sense of pride and optimism.
Welcome to Winnipeg's North End. Everywhere you turn, it is steeped in history: from the Ukrainian Labour Temple (a national historic site) to Ross House Museum (the first post office in Western Canada) to St. John's Public Library (funded by the Carnegie Foundation and set to turn 100 years old in 2015). We have enough sites to supply multiple Jane's Walk neighbourhood tours!
The North End has always been a place of new beginnings. People from all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds have come here to build new lives for their families. This was where I was born and raised by my father in a bachelor pad on the corner of Burrows Avenue and McKenzie Street. Although I grew up poor, the people in this community made me wealthy in other ways. My teachers, coaches, and neighbours provided me with the supports I needed to succeed.
My story is a reflection of the North End. When people looked into my eyes, they were able to see past my hardships and see my potential. The same is true of the North End. We may face challenges, but we are not defined by them; we are defined by how we overcome them. That's why I get excited about our community.
Across the street from my first home was Strathcona School and a special teacher named Mrs. Wilson. I am thankful every day for the encouragement she gave to me and hundreds of other students. When she passed away, I was honoured to give her eulogy. Up the street was Jemy's Grocery where Leti, one of my "neighbourhood moms," always had a welcoming smile and her special Filipino egg rolls and tasty barbeque. I still drop by to pick them up today.
Iconic restaurants like Kelekis and Alycia's will always bring back fond memories for generations of Winnipeggers, but there are hidden treasures everywhere with dishes to suit anyone's taste buds. We still have prized destinations like The Windmill, Luda's and The White Top, as well as new opportunities like Kalan.
Walking down Selkirk Avenue, a stop at Gunn's Bakery to visit Bernie and Fivie Gunn is a must. The heavenly smells make it difficult to choose what to take home to my wife Melanie and son Hayden. In the same way, a journey in search of the best kubasa could be a lifetime pursuit. There are numerous North End meat shops to choose from like Tenderloin, Karpaty, and Winnipeg Old Country, all boasting their own take on sausage.
We are one of most ethnically and culturally diverse areas in the country. Its rich and vibrant social fabric can be heard in the many accents that ring out on every corner. Our diversity is our strength. I will never forget attending a community festival at St. John's Park, where I saw a Filipino couple dancing a Ukrainian polka to the music of a M©tis fiddle band.
A spirit of co-operation and commitment to making things better runs throughout the North End. Wherever you go, people are working to make improvements to our community. They help one another by giving freely of their time, their energy and their enthusiasm. When Pollock's Hardware was set to close, the community organized and opened Pollock's Hardware Co-op. California Fruit is gone but people had a vision for Neechi Commons to replace it, providing us with bannock, blueberries, and hugs.
The people of the North End inspire me every day. I am so proud of them. I love the North End.
Kevin Chief was elected as MLA for Point Douglas in October of 2010 and appointed to cabinet by Premier Selinger in January of 2011 as the Minister of Children and Youth Opportunities. He and his wife Melanie live in the North End with their two-year-old son, Hayden.

80% vs 95% efficiency and Recommendations
Need to replace my furnace in Lake Tahoe, NV. It is a vacation home, so can't get the federal tax credit. So the two questions I have are:
Should I go for the 80 vs 95% efficient. It is about $1500 difference in price, will I ever make up that $$$
What brands and any other recommendations?
I didn't know that about vacation homes and tax credit.
Everytime I've been to Lake Tahoe, it has been pretty cold. That being said, I don't really know the climate there. But I imagine it is cold enough to warrant a 95% furnace or even more.
Here is the thing. The efficient units are in demand right now because of the tax credit. If you can wait until the tax credit expires, the manufacturers may have a glut or maybe more interested in dealing. So I'd wait and get a 95%
The reason to do a 80% today is in a dual fuel situation, a mild climate, or a lightly used vacation home. You just need to look at prior expenditures.
For example, last winter $1000 total on a 80% system. So you used 1000 therms to create 800 therms worth of heat. A 95% would have needed (roughly) 850 therms for a savings of $150. Now where could you get a guaranteed 10% tax free return for your money?
Now if you only spent $500 last winter - then I'd have to go with the 80%....
Is a 90% an option? For me that was a no brainer in new construction since it was cheaper than a 80% because of the chimney requirements. I only used $200 last winter in a dual fuel setup.
I looked up the temps and for the vast majority of the time a heat pump could probably do the job and still provide a 2-1 or so heat to kwh used ratio or better which is good. It still does get plenty cold though so I would say it is a toss up depending on your electric vs gas rate and what the long term projection for rates in the future might be.
The rate increase calculation is very much of a guess but some helpful information is if you research and find out that a large portion comes from hydroelectric or some other means that does not consume coal it might not see the increases a highly coal operated utility might see. The EPA and greenies are going to push hard for carbon credits and ways to charge the coal plants depending on emissions which will eventually be passed down.
If both are high I would consider the 90% option. Usually I would say southern states where it is warmer and decent electric rates go 80%.
15 seer with demand defrost and txv which should be standard equipment to achieve 15 seer are a must.
several questions.
how much is vacation home used?
do you even need AC for this location?
how long do you expect to own this vacation home?
what size furnace are you replacing?
your fuel source is nat gas or propane?
since the tax credit is not in play, there are good alternatives between 80% efficiency and 95% efficiency furnaces.
I would want a furnace with good warranty and with st steel heat exchanger.
post back with some answers and I will make a couple of recommendations for you.
Thanks Tigerdunes
This is our first year owning the place
Don't know how many months we need heating, but plan to primarily use it during the Winter and Summer. In Winter hope to use it most weekends. We plan to use it occasionally in Fall and Spring.
We don't need/have AC
We plan on keeping the place forever (hopefully)
Natural gas is fuel source
I don't know the size of the furnace unfortunately. The condo is 3 stories and is appox 1700 sq ft (not including a studio apt on bottom floor next to garage that is not connected to central heat -- since getting a new furnace, is connecting that room to central heat something i should/can do? It is my office and right now plan on using an electric heater when I use it)
Thanks everyone for input!!!
I will assume you are more interested in quality,comfort, reliability and that price is not the driving factor.
I suggest you find out what size existing furnace is. Usually it can be found on a dataplate on the furnace or perhaps on the inside of the control panel. where is furnace located?
sometimes condo associations have restrictions/covenants on what they can and can not do and that includes HVAC.you might want to check on this.
Otherwise I would get a properly sized two stg 95% eff VS furnace. I can suggest several if you are interested. Dealer can advise possibility and practicality of adding heat to studio apartment. How big is studio apt? A small electric HP minisplit system might be a good alternative if studio apt will not be used on a regular basis.
Another thing to keep in mind when choosing between 80% and 95% is where the furnace will be physically located. If it's located in an unconditioned space, then the moisture condensation issues that accompany high-efficiency furnaces may dictate that you pick the 80% unit. Some contractors will outright refuse to install a high-efficiency furnace in an attic for this reason.
Had a few bids
Most recommended an 80% efficiency furnance. Changing the flue and drain for the 95% would be a significant expense, and given that I cannot get the tax credit 80% seems like the most economical.
Currently is a 125k BTU upflow in a closet, so "21 inch wide furnance is gonna be tight". Many have said 100k btu would be fine (current furnace is like 60% efficient they said)
Given that information, any particular brand you would recommend?
The bids I got
-Bryant 110k btu 2 stage 80% - $2510
-Rheem 105k btu 80% - single stage - $1885(the contractor said they do not have 2 stage 80% Rheem) But said could also get a 2 stage Goodman 105k btu for same price $1885
- But another bid for Rheem 120k btu 2 stage 80% for $2800, 1 stage for $2720
- Hiel 100 k btu 80% 2 stage - $2487
- Carrier person gave me a bid over phone, could not come up this week for 110k BTU 2 stage 80%, approx $2800
Some come with new thermostat. Some include permit, some said we could permit it for extra $120. My gut is that the "non" permit guys are a red flag, even though got all of these from Better Business Bureau website.
Anything else I should ask about
thanks again
I would be careful abouut sizing. It is difficult for me to believe you need more than a 100K 80%. Maybe less. Ask dealer to perform load calculation. You might check with neighbors and see what size they have. Is condo an interior unit or exterior unit? this can make a difference in BTU load.
If price is not the driving factor, I would want a two stg variable speed furnace. And I do recommend a good basic whole house 4-5" pleated filter media cabinet where filter changeout is easy and filters last up to one yr before changeout. Of course you would also need a good two stg thermostat like Honeywell's VP 8000 series. Do this right and new furnace will pay off in longevity and reliable service. you do want st steel heat exchanger.
I would look at American Std two stg var speed model and good basic Honeywell filter cabinet.
This is interesting. In my locale, a permit is not required to replace an existing unit. But I would be curious to know for the pro's if this is standard practice in other places, and what would require getting a permit when a replacement is being done (new insulation, new gas service, new electrical, etc).
California requires permits for any furnace replacement---dunno about other states. Ours was included in the quote for all but one contractor, and was pretty inexpensive (a little over $100 I think, which was a flat fee for all related work---they moved both electrical and gas, but we didn't decide to have them do that until the day of install). I like knowing they did the work to code, so it seems worthwhile to me---and we more than made up the cost in rebates from the power company, which require a final permit before they send you the check.
Permit here. We need a permit to change out a gas range since there is a new gas connect made. You bet that changing a furnace needs a permit.
Now - I had a new HP system downsized about 3 months after install since they put the wrong size in. No permit was pulled but I suspect technically they should have.
depending on state/locality, pulling a permit is often overlooked, disregarded, and unenforced. It can be a revenue source for the govt entity. main purpose is to protect homeowner from poor install and to see that codes have been followed. codes do change. depending on situation, some homes might be grandfathered in while some situations will require upgrade to meet new code.
make no mistake. if you pull a permit, the cost will be absorbed by homeowner. the idea of $500 cost is absurd. you might want to check with your local building dept/inspection office.
if you are dealing with a reputable company who has a demonstrated track record, then it is probably not necessary. However if it is state law with enforcement, you can not get around it without a possible heavy fine and the dealer's license possibly being suspended or revoked.
Good Luck!
So of the Bids that I have received w/ permitted inspection:
Carrier Dual stage 58CTX110-1-16 (I think it's a 110k btu) - Warrenty 5 yrs parts and labor, 20 yr heat exhanger. Honeywell 8000 thermostat. $3147
American Standard Freedom 80 - 2 stage- . Warrenty 5 yrs parts and labor, 20 yr heat exhanger. Honeywell 8000 thermostat. $3150
Heil 100k btu (H8MPT100F14) 2 stage - Warrenty 10 yrs parts, 25 yr Heat Exchanger, 1 yr labor. Honeywell 4000 thermostat. $2,487
Any thoughts/recommendations. Don't know Heil's reputation, but does not seem at same level as Am Standart or Carrier. But $ 700 difference, and better warranty
let's see a complete mdl number for the AmStd quote.
Since you plan on using this condo on a frequent basis, I would want a good furnace. Since a 95% is out of question, I would want an 80% eff two stg furnace with a var speed blower. Yes this may cost a little more but you will be happier in the long run. Have any dealers provided a professional load calculation for correct sizing? is condo an internal unit or external unit? can't recall. were any suggestions offered by dealer on the studio room?
HW offers a relatively inexpensive air filter cabinet that I would recommend.
see link.
Here is a link that might be useful: AmStd Freedom 80 Comfort R Furnace
Here is the model numbers for the Amer Standard furnace
2 stage-----AUD2B080A9362A
The manual J heating load came up to 76,451 input btuâÂÂs needed, this furnace is 80k BTU
So looks like Thumbs down on the Heil, even though a lot cheaper and longer warrenty?
Heil is part of the ICP group of HVAC companies. mid range,good warranty.
ask dealer to provide a quote on their VS80 two stg var speed mdl furnace. see link below.
be aware that the AmStd two stg furnace quoted only has a 63K BTUs on high stg. I suggest your load calc be rechecked for correct sizing.
I do think two stg is the way to go and I prefer the var speed blower model if your budget allows. Two stg stat will be required for best operation like the 8000 series Honeywell model.
what plans did you make for the studio room?
Here is a link that might be useful: Heil VS80 furnace
Make sure you will recover any cost difference between 80% and 95%in a reasonable time ... like before the unit needs to be replaced.
In a house not used year round the higher efficiency often never pays for itself.
Also keep in mind that the higher efficiency units have more parts and a high failure rate.
Failure rate is rarely improved by making something more complicated with additional parts.
So from what I can gather, the benefit of the variable speed blower is it is quieter when on low speed, but costs significantly more. And modern furnaces are louder than the older furnaces. How much difference is the noise?
Noise may and may not be an issue. The furnace is in a closet directly next to a bedroom, but it is a guest bedroom (our freeloading friends); the kitchen is also on the same floor. Our bedroom is directly above this guest bedroom on the top floor, the living room is also on this top floor.
Also any experience with thermostats that you can control over the internet?
Thanks again, hope everyone had a great thanksgiving!!!
if I was not going two stg 80% var speed furnace which BTW is your best option, I would at least go sgl stage with the high eff blower motor. I know Trane,AS, Carrier/Bryant offers this type furnace.
yes, both are quieter than conventional blower motors and cost less to operate.
"make no mistake. if you pull a permit, the cost will be absorbed by homeowner. the idea of $500 cost is absurd. you might want to check with your local building dept/inspection office. "
$500 May not be out of line at all.
Fill out the forms, stand in line, front the permit fees.
It often takes most of a morning.
That is four hours of NOT working just to pull a permit for a single job.
It is so bad in many areas that there are companies that do nothing but the legwork for permits (for a fee of course) so that tradesmen can keep working.
Still researching models and price relative to noise. Trying to stay below 3K in price, but looks tough, may have to bump up the budget if go w/ Variable speed blower. Width became a slight factor, 21" is max width, and would require some adjustment of the gas line and removal of the door. Got this website from one of the salesmen comparing sounds of different furnaces, found helpful.
Thanks everyone for help
what's the holdup?
I thought you would have new furnace installed by now.
if you wait much longer, winter will be over. LOL...
go two stg var speed correctly sized. comfort and satisfaction will long be remembered over price as long as you intend to use this home. if short term, then a good basic sgl stg non var speed would be OK.
BTW, was a load calc performed and what was the BTU requirement at design temperature?
More I look into it, the more confused I get. Some recent issues that came up are the furnace has to be 21" wide or less, and 21" is gonna be tight.The manual J heating load came up to 76,451 input BTU needed from one bidder
So got a Bid for a York Affinity variable speed blower 100k btu for $3500. Rheem Variable speed blower for $3400
The Heil 100k 2 stage dual speed blower bid for $2500
Got the Carrier and American standard bids for 2 stage dual speed blowers for like $3100. Other bids I got, the people weren't too keen on getting a permit to install. Talking to people in the city permit dept, if something happens and house is destroyed, lack of a permit may void my homeowner's insurance. In addition to making sure safe for my family (my #1)
So I am leaning toward the Heil 100K 2 stage dual speed blower, it's $900-1000 less than the modulating variable speed furnances( like a 40 % difference in price). Am I making a dumb mistake putting in the Heil??? Know it's a mid range furnace, but the warranty seems to be the best (but it may be because I am gonna need it?)
In terms of noise, I have been told that the new furnaces are 2x as loud as my current 30 yo rheem. But is that at Full power/2nd stage. If the heat and blower are at their lower stage, will it be 1 x as loud as my current Rheem, which is livable, don't really notice it and we currently sleep in room next to it. How often does it go to the 2nd stage/full power? I am assuming it will mainly be on the lower setting?
Also can I add insulation to the closet the furnace is in to reduce noise, or is that a big no no.
I really appreciate all the info I have gotten here. This site has given me info that I can talk to people and get a sense when they are BS'ing me, and have the info to call them on it.
Happy Holidays
are you satisfied that a 100K 80% eff furnace is correct size? this will be for a condo? internal or external unit? bottom floor or top floor unit? has an actual load calc been performed? if so, you have seen it in writing and have a copy?
two stg 80% var speed furnace correctly sized is way to go. you must get a two stg thermostat. and I recommend a 4-5" box filter. furnace should have stainless steel heat exchanger.

Welcome to Conservation Northwest's blog.
I-90 monitoring field report
Washington's first wildlife crossing overpass will be implemented along I-90 east of Lake Keechelus. In order to understand how this new overpass will effect species in the area, we must first understand what species are present. That's where Conservation Northwest and our camera monitoring crews come in!

Get ready for Homecoming
When I think of "Homecoming," I can still feel the excitement that came with my favorite football team taking the field in October to cheers and bright lights. To many of us, the word itself brings memories of high school days: of fancy dresses, dances, and school spirit. To us at Conservation Northwest, we thought this occasion could not fit more perfectly with the return home of some of Washington's wildest animals, including wolves, wolverines, and fishers.
The jury is out…Washingtonians love wildlife!
A report published for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife called "Understanding People and Places,"covers a variety of survey questions including everything from how often people recreate outdoors to how much they value salmon. The WDFW hopes that the report will help guide their future management and outreach strategies throughout the state.

Accountability for ATVs
Today we took a step closer to ending the epidemic of illegal and harmful use of off-road vehicles. Unethical ATV riders have created thousands of illegal and damaging trail miles on Washington state lands and cost ranchers and tree farmers millions in property damage. They can be a noisy disruption in a quiet backcountry for those who hike or hunt. HB 1632 will reduce abuse while expanding legitimate ATV recreation opportunities. Washington.
Finding the middle way
Today, Olympia finally passed an operating budget to avert a government shutdown in the nick of time. The legislature remains in session to deal with transportation and capital budget issues, including important habitat acquisition funds. The budget includes over a million dollars to identify and promote non-lethal methods to reduce conflicts between livestock and predators like wolves. This happened because legislators from both sides of the state came together around a solution that Conservation Northwest modeled and promoted.
Keeping an eye on the woods
Here at Conservation Northwest, we actually have quite a few "eyes in the woods." A good chunk of them have metal irises with automated shutters. No, not robots.
Range riders bring results
We left you hanging in the fall 2012 newsletter: "The real proof of whether our pilot range rider program can help ranchers in Washington won't be known until the cows came home later this fall." Well, they've returned home, and on a positive note. During last year's grazing season, we partnered with the Washington Department of Fish Wildlife to fund a range rider - the first in Washington - at the Dawson Ranch in northeast Washington. Range riding is an effective on-the-ground conflict avoidance solution for wolves and people.

The battleship maybe obsolete as a ship fighting platform but the ground artillery support role they were the most cost-effective methods around. that main guns were firing $25,000 rounds and are very accurate. Guided missiles attached to a plane are way more expensive and fighter planes are not cheap to fly or maintain. They have a greater range, but it is certainly not cheap way to hit targets.
I think battleships being retired is more of a shift of the navy of wanting use aircraft and not interested in a ground support role from the coast. Battleships really should have stayed as part of the fleet.
Well those self-reliant types can buy a tractor that they can maintain themselves, they just don't get the latest and greatest with it.
No one is requiring them to buy a new John Deere tractor, it just ends up being easier to do so.
Why do you assume the endpoint should be making programmers better understand other people, instead of other people learning how to understand and work with technology?
Except you forgot to pay gas, maintenance and insurance on those 40 miles. which works out to around 0.35 cents a mile(which I still think is low). For 40 miles that is $12, but because it is not a direct cost so people tend to ignore it.

You know why you don't see it? Lobbying by tax preparation companies.
the patrol officer culture is concerned that the technology will be an unfair intrusion into their routine activities — for instance, it might invite over-managing minor policy violations.

Jeff Bezos isn't giving us investors enough money
Amazon has never given ANY investors any money, speculators on the other hand and Jeff Bezos himself has done remarkably well. If you your benchmark for wildly successful is wrapped in the stock price you are 100% correct. If you are an investor looking for a return, Amazon has basically done nothing.
So what if their sales have been wildly successful, can they actually make any money doing it is the problem.
How are we supposed to make money without creating artificial scarcity to make people use our product?
The Free Market
It is called entrapment. Not saying the person is evidently of questionable morals, but when the government actively is trying to get you to commit a crime so that they can arrest you for it; it is kinda scary.
H/R Drone: That would be a "Yes" then...
What makes it a risky investment, in my opinion, is the fact that once the production/price/market variables become favorable for the technology, the big companies will be able to scale it at a much lower cost, as that is what they are good at.
I very much doubt that Tesla is going to outsource its manufacturing for key components. It is going to keep those in house, and it will be expensive in the near future, but they will not have worry about competitors getting cheap access to those components. Too many of the current car companies are focused upon assembling a car; they are not engineering huge advantages in technology or going in new directions.
Tesla is going to have these guys beat for no other reason than they are going to sit on their hands until it is too late. If you want a better explanation, they are going to have engineer their own product and manufacturing of specialty parts. They don't seem interesting in committing to electric cars now and when Tesla is big enough to be mainstream it will still take them 3 to 5 years to get their own product out the door.
If they are bought by an advertiser, they don't have sell the information to someone to use it themselves.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Jan 2011 11:30 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Lebanon, United States
" />
Michel Suleiman, Lebanon's president, has begun two days of consultations with parliamentary groups on appointing a new prime minister, after Hezbollah brought down the unity government earlier this month.
Najib Mikati, who served briefly as prime minister in 2005, was tapped on Monday as the favourite candidate to be appointed the next prime minister of Lebanon, after securing the backing of the powerful Iranian-backed Hezbollah and its allies.
"His name is prevailing among all other options," MP Ibrahim Kanaan, a member of the Christian Free Patriotic Movement allied with Hezbollah, told AFP news agency.
The Lebanese press was unanimous on Monday in presenting Mikati as the candidate set to be nominated by Hezbollah, which on January 12 forced the collapse of Saudi and Western-backed Saad Hariri's unity government.
Mikati, a telecoms tycoon, said in a statement on Sunday that he was coming forward as a consensual candidate and would co-operate with all parties with a view to bringing the country out of its deep political crisis.
"I don't view my candidacy as a challenge to anyone but rather as an opportunity to restore contacts among [rival] leaders," his statement said.
Asked whether he was the opposition's candidate, Mikati said: "I consider myself to be a candidate of accord and moderation."
Rula Amin, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Lebanon, said Mikati has a very good chance of becoming the next prime minister.
Amin said when Mikati was prime minister few years ago, he was moderate and took a very middle line. "He managed to put together the parliamentary elections in Lebanon that paved the way for a unity government," Amin said.
Compromise candidate
The Al Jazeera's correspondent added: "For many, [Mikati] is seen as someone who can bring consensus. For the opposition to be able to get this man to run for prime minister is an achievement because it defuses the tension that has overwhelmed the country."
Amin said Mikati is very respected among Lebanese Sunnis, Christians and Shias, and he will be able to diffuse the tension.
On Sunday, Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, pledged to include its political rivals in Lebanon's next government if its candidate for prime minister wins a parliamentary majority in an upcoming vote.
Nasrallah said on Sunday that the Shia group and its allies want to form a national unity government, rather than seeking to govern alone.
"If our candidate is successful, we will ask him to form a government of national partnership in which all parties will participate. We respect everyone's right to representation," Nasrallah said.
Hezbollah and its allies ruled out nominating Hariri, Lebanon's caretaker prime minister, for reappointment. However, Hariri has said he will nonetheless run for a second term.
Tight vote
The vote is expected to be tight, and experts estimated the country's 128 parliamentarians were equally divided between Hariri and Hezbollah's candidate.
The support of at least 65 lawmakers is required to form a government. Hezbollah and its allies already claim 57 seats. Saad Hariri has 60.
Walid Jumblatt, Lebanon's Druze leader, who announced on Friday that he was siding with Hezbollah in the political feud, now stands to play kingmaker with his 11-member strong bloc.
Hariri's government collapsed when Hezbollah and its allies pulled out 11 ministers from the cabinet in a dispute over the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which is probing the 2005 murder of Saad's father and the country's former prime minister, Rafiq Hariri.
Nasrallah, who has accused the Netherlands-based tribunal of being under US-Israeli control, has said he expects it will implicate Hezbollah members and warned of grave repercussions.
Many fear Hezbollah will react violently if its members are indicted, as is widely expected.

I applied online. The process took a day – interviewed at NEON in June 2012.Interview Details
The phone interview was fine and the hiring manager seemed nice. I was brought in for a 1:1 interview followed by a panel and the 1:1 was great but the panel was, in a word, difficult. I am not an engineer but the position was in the engineering department. They chose to relentlessly ask me questions about engineering to which I reiterated that I was not an engineer but this is how I understood the concept, etc. They continued and eventually the interview spiraled out-of-control with the panel outright mocking me. It was clear I was not a good fit for the position and that's fine it sometimes happens that a job description is written in an ambigous way but I thought that they should have ended the interview early rather than create a hostile experience for me. If you are concidering working for NEON I would actively discourage you from applying.Interview Questions
