Russia's upper house of parliament declared that it will support Crimea's decision if the Ukrainian region decides in a referendum to join Russia, RIA Novosti cited the head of the Federation Council as saying.
"If the people of Crimea take the decision in the referendum to join Russia, we, as the upper house [of parliament], will of course support such a decision," Valentina Matviyenko, head of the Russian Federation Council, was quoted as saying.
The Crimean parliament decided to hold a referendum on whether the region should join Russia on March 16.
White House
said earlier that President Obama has told his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, that Moscow's actions in Ukraine are a violation of that country's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Officials say the two leaders spoke for an hour on the telephone Thursday. It is their first known direct contact since Saturday, shortly after Russian forces took control in Ukraine's Crimean peninsula.
The White House says Obama told the Russian leader there still is a way to resolve the dispute diplomatically. He said this would entail Russian forces moving back to their base in Crimea; the governments of Ukraine and Russia holding direct talks, and international monitors getting access to ensure that the rights of ethnic Russians in Ukraine are protected.
The White House statement said U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will continue discussions with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, the Kyiv government and other international partners in the days to come.
Putin said there were still differences with the United States in their approaches and assessments of the Ukraine crisis after speaking to Obama on the phone, the Kremlin reported.
In a statement on Friday, Putin said Kyiv's new authorities, which came to power in an anti-constitutional coup, had imposed "absolutely illegitimate decisions on the eastern, southeastern and Crimea regions."
"Russia cannot ignore calls for help in this matter and it acts accordingly, in full compliance with the international law," Putin said.

Obama Opposes Crimea Referendum, Orders Sanctions
Cindy Saine
March 07, 2014 1:50 AM
U.S. President Barack Obama Thursday took a strong stand against a planned referendum on the future of Ukraine's Crimea region. As VOA's Cindy Saine reports, congressional leaders are pledging support for those sanctions, and for the people of Ukraine.
Obama announces visa restrictions and sanctions
Earlier Thursday Obama called the upcoming referendum proposed by pro-Russian lawmakers in Crimea to secede from Ukraine and join the Russian Federation illegal, ordering visa restrictions and financial sanctions on Ukrainians and Russians for interfering in Ukraine.
"The proposed referendum on the future of Crimea would violate the Ukrainian constitution and violate international law," Obama told reporters at the White House speaking on rising tensions over Ukraine's Black Sea peninsula.
Any discussion about the future of Ukraine must include the legitimate government of Ukraine," he said.
"In 2014, we are well beyond the days when borders can be redrawn over the heads of democratic leaders," Obama said.
Obama signed an executive order that authorizes sanctions on those responsible for violating what the president says are the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
U.S. officials did not name the individuals who will have their visas to visit the United States cancelled or denied, but said they will include both Russians and Ukrainians who have been most directly involved in destabilizing the country.
They declined to say whether Russian President Vladimir Putin will be among those targeted.
Obama also reiterated the international community's backing of the new government in Kyiv, calling for unified efforts in support of Ukraine's new leadership both politically and economically as it prepares for new presidential elections set for May.
He said that the steps were taken in "close coordination" with America's European allies, adding that he was "pleased that our international unity is on display at this critical moment."
Obama also called on U.S. Congress to support the International Monetary Fund's lending capacity for Ukraine.
Kyiv reacts
Meanwhile, Interim Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov says he has begun the process to suspend the powers of the Crimean parliament, calling its decision a farce and accusing the Russian military of organizing the vote. He said Thursday that he and the Ukrainian parliament will protect the country's integrity and sovereignty.
Interim Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who was in Brussels for the EU meeting, called the Crimean parliament's vote to join Russia "an illegal decision." He said his government is urging Moscow "not to support those who advocate separatism."
But Yatsenyuk said his government is open to talks about the crisis with Moscow.
"We are not an anti-Russian government; we are pro-Ukrainian," he said. "If they are ready to talk, we are," he said.
Pro-Western Ukrainian opposition icon Yulia Tymoshenko on Thursday urged Europe to take strong action to prevent Ukraine's Crimean peninsula from joining Russia, saying such a move will destabilize the entire continent.
Tymoshenko, twice Ukraine's prime minister, spoke to European politicians Thursday in Dublin, Ireland, just hours after pro-Russian lawmakers in Crimea voted to join Russia.
Tymoshenko told a session of the European People's Party - the largest bloc in the European parliament - that democracy will suffer "if we allow Russia to hold a referendum at gunpoint."
Secession initiative
Thursday's vote by the Moscow-backed Crimean parliament came as U.S. and European leaders continued emergency talks on how to get Russia to back down from its military incursion into Crimea. U.S. lawmakers are also meeting Thursday to discuss potential economic sanctions against Russia.
Russia has denied that it has sent any troops to Crimea in addition to those already stationed there as part of its Black Sea fleet, a claim challenged both by the West and Ukraine's new leadership in Kyiv.

US diplomacy
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry Kerry met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday, for the second time in two days, on the sidelines of an international meeting in Rome.
Speaking after the meeting, Kerry said the goal is to bring all the parties to the negotiating table.
"We have made suggestions to Foreign Minister Lavrov, which he is currently taking, personally, to President Putin."
Kerry said an international "contact group" may be formed, but insisted that Russia must speak directly to Ukraine's interim government.
Kerry held a series of discussions Wednesday with Lavrov, British Foreign Secretary William Hague and Ukrainian interim Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia. The Russian and Ukrainian ministers did not meet face-to-face during Wednesday's flurry of negotiations, and Kerry said he had not expected they would.
US sanctions a "flexible tool"
A White House statement called the sanctions order "a flexible tool that will allow us to sanction those who are most directly involved in destabilizing Ukraine, including the military intervention in Crimea, and does not preclude further steps should the situation deteriorate."
In addition, the State Department is putting in place visa bans on a number of officials and individuals responsible for or complicit in threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine.
Officials on Thursday said the penalties could be removed if Moscow returns its troops to Russian bases in Ukraine and recognizes Ukraine's new government. At the same time, Washington warns it will step up sanctions if Russia should decide to move forces farther into eastern Ukraine.
The Obama order targets any assets held in the United States by "individuals and entities" responsible for the Russian military intervention in Ukraine, threatening its territorial integrity or seeking to assert governmental authority over any part of Ukraine without authorization from the Ukrainian government in Kyiv. The White House also said it is prepared to consider additional steps and sanctions as necessary.
US Navy destroyer heads to Black Sea
A U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, is heading to the Black Sea for what the U.S. military on Thursday described as a "routine" deployment that was scheduled well before the crisis in Ukraine.
The announcement came a day after the Pentagon unveiled plans to put more U.S. fighter jets on a NATO air patrol mission in the Baltics, moving to reassure allies alarmed by Russia's effective seizure Crimea.
The U.S. Navy said in a statement that the destroyer left Greece on Thursday en route to the Black Sea and would conduct training with Romanian and Bulgarian naval forces.
NATO's appeal to Russia
NATO urged Russia on Thursday to call back to bases its forces in Crimea, saying it stood by Ukraine's territorial integrity in the face of the greatest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War.
"Ukraine is a valued and long-standing partner for NATO. In these difficult moments NATO stands by Ukraine, NATO stands by Ukraine's sovereignty, integrity and by the fundamental principles of international law," NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
"This crisis is not just about Ukraine, this crisis has serious implications for the security and stability of the Euro-Atlantic area as a whole. We clearly face the gravest threat to European security since the end of the Cold War,'' Rasmussen said.
"Above all we call on Russia to step up [to] its international commitments and halt the military escalation in Crimea. We call on Russia to withdraw its forces to their bases and to refrain from any interference elsewhere in Ukraine," he said.
EU suspends visa talks but stops short of sanctions
The European Union on Thursday announced it was suspending visa talks with Moscow after also calling vote in Crimea's parliament "illegal."
Van Rompuy demanded that Russia enter negotiations with Ukraine and respect Ukraine's sovereignty in Crimea - or face travel bans and asset freezes.
"The majority of the people of Ukraine made a decisive choice in favor of our European values. It was a civilization choice. Europe must and will support them on the courageous road they have chosen," he said.
Europe has held off imposing economic sanctions for now.
Earlier the EU froze the assets of 18 high-ranking officials of the former Ukrainian government, including ousted President Viktor Yanukovych.
The 28-nation bloc announced the names of those targeted by the sanctions early Thursday, after reaching a decision the night before to impose the punishments on those responsible for embezzlement of state funds.
Yanukovych's son, his former justice minister and several other government ministers are also among those whose assets have been frozen. Yanukovych fled Ukraine last month after protests over his decision to accept an economic aid package from Russia turned deadly.

Tatar Leader: Russian Action in Crimea Illegal
Crimean Tatars, the indigenous Muslim people of Ukraine, will not consent to the Russian takeover of the Crimean peninsula, says Refat Chubarov, the speaker of the Tatar National Assembly.
The Crimean Tatars are a Turco-Mongol ethnic group whose descendants go back to the Mongolian empire of Genghis Khan. They are represented by the semi-official legislative body called the Crimean Tatar National Assembly.
Speaking with VOA's Turkish service, Chubarov said by that sending its troops to Crimea, Russia "has gone over its limits and that what he described as "Russia's illegal actions can only be stopped by the United States and Russia's strong neighbors."
Many Tatars harbor fierce hatred for Russia and have long proudly boasted of their enthusiasm for independent Ukraine. Thousands of Tatars marched in favor of unity with Kyiv last week.
OSCE thwarted
A mission of OSCE observers was stopped on Thursday from entering Crimea by unidentified men in military fatigues, Poland's defense minister, Tomasz Siemoniak, said.
Following the incident the mission of 43 unarmed observers from 23 OSCE countries was reported as turning back and heading to the Ukrainian city of Kherson, halfway between Odesa and the Crimean peninsula, to decide how to proceed, the Vienna-based security organization and democracy watchdog said.
Elsewhere in Ukraine
Ukraine again flew its flag over the government headquarters in the eastern city of Donetsk on Thursday and ejected pro-Moscow demonstrators that occupied it, ending a siege that Kiyv had seen as part of a Russian plan to create a pretext for invasion.
Police said they had taken more than 70 people into custody for questioning after clearing out the regional administration headquarters and another government building.
"The people who were removed from the building did not resist,'' said a local police official.
Later on Thursday, security service agents arrested the protest leader. Pavel Gubarev was led away from his apartment without a fight. The local businessman who called himself the "people's governor" had demanded control over the police and tried to persuade lawmakers to install him as regional boss while his men occupied their meeting hall.
Donetsk is the home city of ousted Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych.
Interpol receives Yanukovych arrest request
International police agency Interpol said on Thursday it was reviewing a request by Ukrainian authorities for it to issue a so-called "red notice" for the arrest of Ukraine's ousted president, Viktor Yanukovych.
A request by Ukrainian authorities for an Interpol Red Notice, or international wanted persons alert, for the arrest of Viktor Yanukovych on charges including abuse of power and murder has been received," the France-based agency said in a statement but gave no further details.
Yanukovich, a Russian ally, was ousted on February 22 after months of protests in Kyiv over his decision to pull Ukraine out of a trade deal with the European Union in favor of closer ties with Russia.
The former president appeared in the southern Russian city Rostov-on-Don on February 28 but has since not been seen publically.
Interpol uses red notices to inform its 190 member countries that an arrest warrant has been issued for an individual by a judicial authority. The notice seeks the location and arrest of wanted persons with a view to extradition or similar lawful action.
Poland concerned
In an interview with VOA, Poland's ambassador to the United States, Ryszard Schnepf, expressed concern about what some see as other ambitions Russia's could have the region.
"This is a real intention to restore the imperial ideas of some people in the Russian Federation," Schnepf told VOA, referring to tension over Ukraine's Crimea.
"We consider the current situation [in Ukraine] as a direct threat to our sovereignty, and we can predict that after the situation from the Kremlin's point of view is cleared, Moldova will be the next target, and possibly, other countries."
"We don't want to have a bad neighborhood," Schnepf said. "We are a people, we are a nation, badly experienced [scarred] by the past. What Poland looks [for] is to have a neighbor like we have now with Germany, that we have tremendous development of exchange; mutually prosperous. We want to have the same situation with Russia. This is our aim," said Schnepf.

Time for another round in the Cold War. Russia may be able to annex Crimea or even Ukraine, but she can be defeated in the same way that the USSR was - economically. Too bad we don't have a POTUS like Reagan and a UK PM like Thatcher right now. Obama's weakness will allow this to go on for too long, but that could mean a strong leader might be elected next time as Americans get disgusted with Jimmy Carter the Second's lack of ability. Russia is only a superpower because she has nukes & ICBM's. Economically she is a near basket case propped up by energy sales. We can and should use economic leverage & cooperation with other energy suppliers to wreck the Russian economy. It won't hurt the Russian people anyway, because Putin and his KGB bussies steal everything anyway. Time to stand up to this pint-sized Stalin wannabe and show him the limits of Russian power.
March 07, 2014 2:27 PM
Who cares what Russia says... Ukraine is the government of Ukraine and that is who has say. Secondly there was no security issues in Crimea, Ukraine is in Nato.
Go home Russia, send your boys back to their barracks in Moscow, you have ZERO business being in Ukraine and in fact deserve serious penalties, fines, sanctions, and more.
The world will send a strong message to Moscow now, we don't do business with criminals. Putin does not represent the nation of Russia, he does things on his own. We will not tolerate his actions, and crimes commited.
It is time we hold assad accountable for his crimes, and if Putin is tied in with the killing of civilians in Syria we hold him accountable for that too...

Ukraine will loose Crimea to Russia as long as the Interim government whom Russia see's as illegal remains and that is why they have simply refuse to talk meaning talking with the "illegal government" legalizes them,the President of Russia Putin said Kyiv's new authorities, which came to power in an anti-constitutional coup, had imposed "absolutely illegitimate decisions on the eastern, southeastern and Crimea regions."....so I expect the school of taught to prove that Crimea will not become Russia Again.

US and west tries to impose their rule everywhere. Was it constitutional when US attacked Iraq without provocation. Who is US to impose its rules on others. They change the rule according to their needs. It is local people right to select what they want. There are indications that the people killed by snipers were hired by the opposition party who are currently in power. There should be thorough investigation and an election in Ukraine before any further actions.

The pResident of the US Corporation has no authority to tell the people of Ukraine what to do with their country.
His leadership to initiate more death and destruction in order to control outcomes there is merely global class crime against Humanity.
March 06, 2014 11:38 PM
It was also a violation of that country's constitutional integrity for US and the West to inciting the protesters to couped Yanukovych's government.even if protesters signed the agreement with Yanukovych,but US,the West and the protesters torn the agreement in the next day, never execute the agreement.Laugh out loud!
The Crimean issue has fanfared in this marginal country again.The hustle and bustle Black Sea and the peninsula will belong to Rusia.This is the cost that the illegimate interim government has to pay.
Lack of agreeing to disagree,lack of peace.God is faithful and justic,no tolerance,no winner.

Beatrice Yardolo was to make history as Liberia's last Ebola patient. Liberians recently started counting down 42 days, the period that has to go by without a single new infection until the World Health Organization can declare a country Ebola-free. That countdown stopped on March 20 when there was another new case of Ebola, making Yardolo's story a reminder that Ebola is far from over. Benno Muchler reports from Monrovia.

The ultimate prize of parenting is a healthy relationship with your adult children. If your kids still live with you it's probably weird imaging they'll ever not need you to sort their underwear or sign permission slips. But hopefully that day will come. And when it does, how will you know you've hit the jackpot? There isn't just one way to have a healthy relationship. But there sure are a lot of wrong ways. For example, a healthy parent-adult child relationship includes feeling safe to share selected personal stuff. On the other hand, if you or your adult child is calling and texting 27 times a day, you might have some issues. One sure-fire litmus test verifying whether you and your grown-up son or daughter have a healthy relationship is that you both actually enjoy spending time together.
My son, Ezra, is happily married and lives about 20 miles away. David and I just saw him a couple of weeks ago for a family get-together on the 4th of July. It was lovely and fun, but he and I didn't really get to talk… not really. So I sent him an email Sunday night telling him I was thinking about him. "How about you and I scheduling some time together soon?" Ezra wrote right back and suggested we meet up for dinner the next night. Which we did. Just the two of us. In a restaurant. We chowed down and talked about what each of us has been up to. Then we effortlessly segued into a discussion of Arrested Development, The Crash Reel, Ruby Parks, and what's up with all these quirky female characters? (aka, Manic Pixie Dream Girls).
We debated. We laughed. We shared insights. We shared dessert. We split the bill. It was, as Ez likes to say, "Good times."
Here's to good times for you and your kids, now and in the future.

New VAT fuel scale charges for 2014/15
Story: Matt Morton | Posted 6 May 2014 | In All about tax slider, Business mileage advice slider, Company car tax, Company car tax allowances, Fuel, Fuel Slider, What can I claim?
THERE are new VAT fuel scale charges that you should be using from May accounting periods onwards.
The VAT fuel scale charges
- If you supply free fuel to company car drivers – use the new tables
- If the CO2 emissions fall between bands, round down
- Bi-fuel cars with two CO2 emission figures should use the lower CO2 figure
- For older cars without a CO2 emission figure use band 140 for 1400cc or less; band 175 for 1401cc-2000cc; band 225 for 2001cc and above
The VAT fuel scale charges should be used by any SME business that supplies free fuel to its company car drivers and then recovers the VAT on the fuel.
The scale charges are then applied so HMRC can recover the private VAT element of the fuel.
As with most things company car related – such as the company car tax tables – the fuel scale charges are based on the CO2 emissions of the company cars you run which are banded in 5g/km steps from 120g/km or less to 225g/km or more.
The VAT fuel scale charges allow you to account for the VAT on free fuel in monthly, quarterly or yearly periods.
If your staff repay their private business mileage then there is no need to use the VAT fuel scale charges.
If you have a pool car that is used exclusively for business, then the VAT fuel scale charges do not apply.

One comments on this post
How do you know what CO2 band your cars are? Probably best to contact the dealer/fleet consultant?
You can either use our own Company Car Tax Calculator – simply find your car and it will show the CO2 rating; alternatively you can look it up using the Government's VCA site.

Opinions on proposals for HP replacement
Hi all
I'd appreciate any comments or opinions regarding my proposals for replacing my very old heat pump system. I have many quotes but have narrowed it down to these.
I live in Northern VA, life in a TH approx. 1600 SF, 3 levels.
On a moderate budget, I'm looking to get as much as I can from a dependable system. A common factor is all prices include adding return air in the basement, which was neglected when the previous owner's finished it.
In no particular order.
Option 1:
Carrier Performance
2.5 ton 25HCC530 (SEER 15, EER 12.5, HSPF 8.5)
Air handler FV4CNF002 variable speed
TC-PHP stat
Standard manufa warranty
2 year labor
$5762 (including a $200 rebate from my power co)
Option 2:
Rheem Classic
2.5 ton RPQL030JEZ (SEER 15)
Air handler RHKLHM3617JA, variable speed
American standard (i'm confirming if they are compatible) ACONT802 stat
standard manu warranty
Option 3:
American Standard Gold SI
2.5 ton 4A6H5030E1000A (SEER 15)
Air handler AAM7A0B30H21SA, variable speed
ACONT802 stat
standard manuf warranty
Option 4:
Lennox Dave Lennox Signature
2.5 ton XP17-030-230 (SEER 16.2, EER 13.5, HSPF 9)
Air handler CBX32MV-036, variable speed
iComfort Wi-Fi stat
standard manuf warranty
$6449 (including $250 rebate from the power company, $250 discount from the installer and $1000 rebate from Lennox)
As you can see, the price is all over the place. My initially instinct is to think that the Carrier is the better choice while the Lennox is the better value. I do question the Lennox dependability though.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to everyone in advance.
All of these are nice systems with my personal fav the American Standard.
Here is my personal checklist.
Obviously correct sizing is important. If you are unsure, then request a load calculation or even perform it yourself for a nominal fee online.
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.
best matching VS air handler
full BTUs in both cooling and heating for your rated size
R-410a refrigerant(same as Puron)
scroll compressor preferred
electronic demand defrost preferred
thermostat with "dehumidify on demand" feature
staged backup heat strips
new and correctly sized refrigerant line set
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.
While the Carrier does not have demand defrost, it is a nice system. However dealer has not quoted the best choice size on the air handler. It should be the 005 to get the best efficiency numbers. If you are leaning that way, insist on that change. You want to ake certain the thermostat is a thermidistat for best humidity control in AC cooling. And I would also insist on Carrier's prewired 9 KW heat strip that activates in 3 KW increments based on demand.
I really think it's what you are looking for, strong warranty, dealer reputation, and how long you plan to be in TH. I assume you are replacing an existing 2 1/2 ton system. You did not mention the lineset. If reusing, it must be flushed properly and be the correct size to the new condenser. Close does not count.
Just a few thoughts.
Thanks tiger!
I've toyed w/ EDD and believe that it's not the end all be all for my situation. I'd love to it for it's benefits but for our climate, it's not the end of the world to not have it (as in the Carrier model).
Where can I find info on the air handler you specified? The Carrier website does not go into specifics. What's the difference between the 002 and the 005?
Regarding the heat strip. My heater is 10KW. Does that change things? None of the installers mentioned the words heat strip. Is this standard in the units or and add?
The lineset will be re-used and all installers have mentioned flushing it. The existing size does match any new units quoted.
Thank you!
One of my pet peeves with heat pumps is demand defrost versus time/temp defrost. Don't kid yourself. Demand defrost eliminates/reduces nuisance, unnecessary, and expensive defrost calls.
The differences in the air handler are the physical dimensions and the fact you will get the best overall efficiency numbers. You can see these
numbers online at the AHRI HP Directory. any cost difference between the two models should be inconsequential considering the benefit. Unless you have some type of space issue, it would be a big mistake not going with the 005 selection. The dealer knows this. Why did he quote the 002? Normal answer is he is looking out for himself, not his customer.
I would want the 9 KW prewired staged heat strip as suggested in first post.Heat strips are normally replaced at new installs and rarely reused. Ask dealer about the 9 KW model I recommend.
Don't be susceptible to smoke and mirrors. Get educated.
What are you doing about air filtration? Home has adequate returns on all levels?
it could be because of space that the installer spec'd the 002. i put in a question regarding that and will see what they say.
i understand EDD versus time/temp. cost is an issue so it's just part of the equation.
none of the bidders mentioned heat strips and i didn't even know what they were until you mentioned it and i searched it. i am asking about that as well.
so you're saying the heat strips are normally not replaced when the entire unit is replaced?
thanks again.
No, I am saying heat strips are almost always replaced at time of new HP install. They are sized as far as BTU output in KWs. 1 KW equals 3400 BTUs. Heat strips are required for emergency heat, supplemental heat, and to temper air on defrost calls. That's why I prefer EDD.
Yes, they should be replaced and I do recommend the 9 KW staged model. This way you use what you need. It will save you money in operating costs in winter heating.
Don't cripple what can be a nice system by taking less expensive shortcuts. You want the thermidistat and the staged heat strip. You can't get EDD with Carrier but you know that and it's your decision.
Thanks for the response, tiger.
What's your opinion regarding Lennox? As you know, there's a lot of negative comments regarding Lennox. Are the still warranted? The rebates the manufacturer is offering makes a higher end system more affordable and it's compelling.
the XP17 model is option 4, see my initial post. As you can tell from the price, thanks to the rebates, it's a compelling option for me.
fyi. i was also quotes for xp14 but not considering it because it's actually a bit more expensive than the xp17 thanks to the rebates. plus, anything less than the higher end lennox comes w/ only 5 years warrant. the 5 years warranty on the lessor models makes me think twice about lennox in general since most of their competitors offer 10 years.
also got a quote for xp16, 3 ton, 2 stage, but again, more expensive than the xp17.
thank you!
Lennox is also a good manufacturer -- they build quality equipment in my opinion. The XP17 does have demand defrost (while not all Lennox HP's do). I'm quite certain all Lennox products have a limited 10 year warranty on all parts when registered with Lennox following installation. Not uncommon to have to register the equipment with the manufacturer to get the full warranty -- many times the dealer takes care of this.
While the Lennox is ~$700 more than the Carrier, in my opinion it is the nicer system. The XP17 is a very quiet unit, if that matters to you. From an efficiency standpoint alone, the Lennox has an edge in both cooling/heating efficiency. Also, the communicating iComfort thermostat gives you more control over your indoor comfort (and diagnostic information) compared to the standard thermostat in the Carrier estimate. And, as tiger has mentioned before, electronic demand defrost is certainly a nice feature. Low temps here (MD, just outside of DC and not far from you) have gotten into the mid-30s, and I haven't seen/heard my Trane heat pump need to defrost once yet. Standard heat pumps would have defrosted numerous times by now simply as a function of their operation. Certainly easier on the equipment, more comfortable and more efficient this way.
I'll say also that the Carrier 25HCC5/FV4 combo is also a very nice system. Like tiger said, you should ask them about a larger indoor air handler for greater efficiency. The 002 is smaller and easier to install, and many like it for this reason. But if other companies plan to install variable speed air handlers from their product line, space can't be too much of an issue. Whichever air handler they install (002, 003, or 005), the installers can and should adjust the airflow setting to match the outdoor unit size. Very easy to do on Carrier control boards, yet you'd be surprised how many systems are left with default factory airflow settings (often the maximum).
i asked about the larger indoor unit for the carrier (specifically the 005) and was told that my existing duct size prohibits efficient use of anything higher/bigger. it would be choking the duct. the 002 is variable speed, isn't it? although space is not exactly a closet, it is limiting as it's sandwiched between un (easily) movable main return trunk and the main supply shaft going up.
agree w/ all you've said about what's compelling about the Lennox and Carrier.
This is a tough decision. Thanks.
That is pure unadulterated BS from the Carrier dealer. CFMs for the 005 air handler can be adjusted to match condenser size. The 005 is an AHRI Directory match that gives you substantially better efficiency numbers. If dealer can not provide an adequate explanation for his objection, then dump him overboard and go with the Lennox system.
with the Carrier,you want the following:
005 VS air handler size
9 KW prewired stage heat strip
Then you have a decision to make between Carrier and the more expensive Lennox. Also weigh dealer reputation in your marketplace. I have to say straight out I am very wary of the Carrier dealer based on your last post.
if they have to adjust the cfm's for the 005 lower, why would i want it? wouldn't that defeat the purpose? it doesn't make sense to me. unless you're saying that efficient numbers don't get affected by the amount of cfm being blown?
i don't believe the carrier dealer is giving me bs, just their own opinion. seems like if they could sell a slightly more expensive air handler, they would.
If the CBX32MV-036 and AAM70B30 air handlers will fit dimension wise, then installing the larger Carrier (005) fan coil should not be an issue. It's the larger coil within the 005 air handler that improves efficiency. Airflow is still adjusted for the proper outdoor unit size as detailed in the installation instructions. Often there are multiple air handler matches for a given outdoor unit, so not uncommon (across all brands) to have to adjust the fan speed.
I really do think Lennox makes a good, reliable product if installed properly. There will always be others who disagree when it comes to brand preferences. I think I would personally narrow it down to the American Standard/Trane and Lennox quotes, and it would not be an easy decision -- mostly based on which dealer I felt most comfortable in because all equipment choices being considered will perform well if installed properly. The equipment is one important aspect, with most brands offering comparable products, but installations can vary GREATLY in quality and procedure.
I know you're really considering the Carrier. It is also a nice system, and a couple of neighbors have had the same system installed (3.5 ton size) and they seem to be pleased with it. I would look into the thermidistat as TD mentioned (controls humidity - Carrier Edge Pro model TP-PRH), as well as using the best matching air handler.
Please keep us posted with your decision. Ask any remaining questions you have and consider the responses of the dealer in making your decision.
thanks all!
its getting interesting..negotiating w/ the 2 now. the carrier installer went slightly down in price and will add a media filter.
the lennox installer will give me an "up front" rebate (which helps of course).
basic difference is about $850.
is the EDD, higher efficiency worth the price difference compared to the carrier w/ the media filter? keep in mind we plan to stay in the house for another 9 to 10 years...
tough decisions. thoughts?
I would not have the Carrier unless he provides the 005 air handler, the Edge thermidistat, and the 9 KW prewired staged heat strip.
The EDD while a great feature becomes less important because of the price difference between Carrier and Lennox systems.
i decided to go w/ the lennox xp17 with the icomfort thermostat....the extra few hundred was justification for a better system. i'm excited. getting it installed next week, will update and let everyone know how i like it, especially the stat.
thanks for your responses. i appreciate it.
I think you'll be very happy with the improved comfort and efficiency from the Lennox system, especially with the iComfort control. Please do let us know how the installation goes. You did your research and I think you made the right decision, all things considered.
I agree with Ryan about your selection. My only complaint is the heating BTUs are about 10% light which is typical for Lennox Pumps and something Lennox should address. But overall a very nice system especially with the control. I would verify the models as they are unloaded on day of install. Should be a one day install. Gather all operating manuals. Make certain warranty is properly registered. Give us your impressions following several days of operation.
Good Luck
Hi all,
Just to follow up on this thread. We got the Lennox unit installed this past Thursday. It was a top notch crew of 4 that came in and did the job in about 4.5 hrs (including adding a new return in the basement). Craftsmanship was excellent and they left the place clean.
I am very happy w/ the Lennox system. The heat pump outside is the quietest I have ever seen. My neighbors on either side of my home have a Trane XL(something) and a Carrier Performance (but the shell that looks like an Infinity series) and both are much louder than the Lennox unit. Similarly, the air handler is ridiculously quiet as well. Coming from an old system where we needed noise to confirm it still works, this is a nice change.
The iComfort stat is elegant and easy to use. While I will always compared it to the Nest, I think this stat will do an excellent job. Knowing that this stat is proprietary and works to communicate w/ the system (similar to Infinity), using a Nest would actually make it a "dumber" stat. The Wi-Fi is a bit tricky as it's been known to disconnect at times but when it is connected, the mobile app and web interface are intuitive and convenient. Plus, it looks nice on the wall.
We've been uncharacteristically cold lately so we've only used the heat. It's done a good job heating the home and doesn't need to run as often as our previous. We also keep the variable speed air handler on "on".
Overall, I'm very pleased. Now comes the real test, longevity.
I want to thank the forum for the help! It's much appreciated.

Vista and Zonealarm
Likes # 0
Posted March 3, 2010 at 3:51PM
I have been using Vista Home Premium and Zonealarm free for my Firewall. Usually Windows Security Centre monitors and says I'm fine as Zonealarm is working properly. For the last couple of days, even though Zonealarm is working correctly I get a balloon come up and say there is no firewall for my computer and to switch on Windows Firewall. I do this but Zonealarm turns this off as it is a second firewall. I don't know why security centre has stopping monitoring Zonealarm for me as I have not changed any settings at all.
When I say I will use alternative firewall, it asks if I want security centre to monitor it but then it just gives me the windows firewall option and not zonealarm.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get Security Centre to monitor Zonealarm again for me or is just a case of telling the centre I'll monitor my firewall myself?

It sounds as if you might have picked up the rogue Windows Security Center which is malware. Try downloading and installing Malwarebytes (free version) - update and run removing anything it finds.

Thanks for the reply Sea Urchin.
I tried what you suggested but nothing was found at all on my computer with the Malwarebytes program.
However, I have just downloaded and installed a more up to date version of Zonealarm compared to the one I had installed and this has worked. Windows Security Center is now recognising Zonealarm free has my firewall and is not telling me that I don't have a firewall running.

Jenn Air 9527 Oven Microwave reviews
jimbo409August 28, 2013
Does anyone have a jenn air oven microwave combination and how do you like it
Ours is from March 2002. Originally had to have oven electronic panel/display replaced under warranty, which has never quite worked right with regard to cook time, but everything else has functioned very well. The oven is now not heating up any more and I have a repair man coming today. The microwave is brilliant and more powerful than most. I have enjoyed the combination oven & microwave. I only have trouble with dust collecting in the window of the oven.

Texas unemployment fell to 4.3 percent during February for the sixth straight month of declines, the Texas Workforce Commission reported Friday.
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jameis Winston was in North Texas on Monday to accept the Davey O'Brien Award as the nation's top college quarterback. The Florida State star also managed a side trip to nearby Arlington to visit the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium.
That's where the 2013 Heisman Trophy winner and the Seminoles will open their national title defense against Oklahoma State in August. Oh, and that's also where the first College Football Playoff championship game will be played next January.
"That's our little slogan - from Dallas to Dallas," Winston said with a smile. "Hopefully, we'll end up in the last game."
But for now, Winston is setting his sights on helping the school win its first college baseball title following 21 appearances in the College World Series.
"The fans that we have in baseball - baseball being Florida State's sport per se - to win a World Series . that would mean a lot," he said.
Winston appeared in the Seminoles' baseball season opener Friday against Niagara and drew a walk in a pinch-hit appearance. He pitched the final two innings of Saturday's 4-1 victory over the Purple Eagles and recorded a save, retiring each of his six batters.
Winston went 1-2 with two saves and a 3.00 ERA last season with the Seminoles. He also played the outfield and hit .235 with nine RBIs.
In winning the Heisman Trophy, Winston became the second freshman to win the award - following Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, also a redshirt. He's the first Heisman winner to also play baseball since 1985 honoree Bo Jackson of Auburn, who also grew up just southwest of Birmingham, Ala.
Like Jackson and Florida State's own Deion Sanders, Winston would like to play both football and baseball professionally. He was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 12th round coming out of high school.
"That is my dream," he said, "whether it's me being a closer or me being a hitter. But I know I want to be an NFL quarterback.
"Obviously, it would be a tremendous honor to follow in the footsteps of the Bo Jacksons and the Deion Sanders to play both sports professionally. That's just something that I have to worry about when it comes."
Winston said he won't miss any spring football practice despite his time on the diamond. He said he hasn't looked at any films of last football season and will have much to study following baseball season.
"This summer, I'm really going to have to study myself and see the things that I can do," he said.
Winston said he has talked to Manziel, but they didn't discuss any tips for a Heisman winner returning for a sophomore season.
"He just told me, 'Hey, stay true to yourself through the whole process,'" Winston said. "And I said, 'Yeah, I'm going to do that' because that's who I am."
One of the other O'Brien honorees on Monday was Legends Award winner Doug Williams, the first black quarterback to win a Super Bowl, with the Washington Redskins in 1988. Winston said he's familiar with Williams' place in sports history.
"Being the first African-American to do anything is a good honor," he said.
Another honoree was former major leaguer Bobby Brown for his contributions to the foundation. The long-time Fort Worth cardiologist played eight seasons, all with the New York Yankees. Brown also served as president of the American League for 10 years and president of the Texas Rangers for one year.
