I had modified the xml layout of the framework-res.apk and succeeded to change the text inside lockscreen (changing the "swipe to unlock") but changing the layout into horizontal does not work.
Also because it is android 2.3.6 it is not possible to completely disable the lockscreen.
I want to know what and how to modify the framework to make the lockscreen be always horizontal.

- Best Buy will report on Tuesday before market opens, with consensus expectation of $0.31 EPS on $9b in revenue.
- Easier comps and gross margin recovery could be on the horizon.
- Store-in-a-store concept the key driver to profitability.
Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) will report Q2FY2015 earnings on Tuesday before the market opens, with a call scheduled at 8 am. The webcast of the call can be found on the investor relations website.
Consensus expects $0.31 non-GAAP EPS on $9b in revenue. The stock has recovered since its Q1 earnings, after which it fell sharply, despite reporting better-than-expected EPS. Going forward, comps could be relatively easy and we could see gross margin recovery on the back of an improved product cycle. The impact of cost saving could flow through in the future quarters and, when coupled with improved traffic post Black Friday period, we could see further upside surprise to earnings. The stock is cheap at 13x forward earnings, and sports a 2.4% dividend yield.
Positioning for a turnaround
The momentum of e-commerce is having a material impact on the traditional offline retailers, and it seems that the trend is unlikely to reverse anytime soon, if at all. From the prior Q1 results, it was evident that those with the most direct to consumer exposure could withstand the headwind, and the one with the least e-commerce exposure saw a sharp drop in store traffic and sales.
Interestingly, BBY has pursued a differentiated approach by renting out its store space to suppliers, which results in more well-trained product sales team (read: a better shopping experience) and lower overhead cost. It is worth noting that the store-in-store concept isn't anything new, as we have seen Asian electronic giants such as Gome (OTC:GMELF) and Suning both rent out their store space for companies such as Samsung (OTC:SSNLF), Lenovo (OTCPK:LNVGF) and Sony (NYSE:SNE), but I see BBY's decision to pursue this strategy as quite innovative here in North America.
Management pointed out that the concept has so far been proven to be successful, with good feedback from both suppliers and customers, so it is safe to say that we could see additional rollout of this strategy down the road. Long-term speaking, BBY could become a critical offline channel for companies that sell products that place heavier emphasis on user experience, and/or an offline distribution/fulfillment for online players such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) and the soon-to-be-listed Alibaba as it looks to expand its footprint in the US. I note that Alibaba already invested in the Intime department store to strengthen its offline distribution capability. I would not be surprised to see Alibaba making a similar investment in BBY, given the company's store footprint and the value of its real estate asset. At the current valuation, the stock looks attractive, and I am positive on the fact that it is gradually putting the pieces together for an eventual turnaround.

You are about to enter another dimension, where time, space, color, and light itself can be manipulated at will. No, it's not the Twilight zone...it's Adorama's in-depth guide to Special Effects Photography!
We've devoted an entire area of the Adorama Learning Center to special effects photography because: a) it's fun; b) for aspiring pros, many techniques can be applied to jazz up your portfolio and assignments; c) transforming a normal subject into something that looks like it's from another planet can be a very creative, fulfilling activity; and d) it's fun Software? Not required Surprisingly, many special effects can be done in camera, and do not require any work in image-editing programs. Some techniques can only be done with film, although most can be done either in camera or after the fact using Photoshop or some other image-editing program. We'll show you both ways. While many of our staff of world-class photography experts have contributed to this section, none has provided as much useful information as Elinor Stecker-Orel, who has spent a lifetime collecting and writing about techniques to push your camera to its outer limits. We don't call her our Special Effects Diva for nothing!

Milorganite or soybean in south
I am new to the forum and i have just recently purchased a home. I am also new to lawn care so I apologize ahead of time if my question may seem stupid. I would like to take the organic route in my yard but need help.
I have read many good comments about milorganite and soybean meal. Would either of these be good to use on southern grass? If so, which would be the better choice and require less work but still keep my lawn looking good? I have Bermuda grass in Alabama. Please help me with a good brand to use also if soybean meal.
Keep in mind that most all soybeans grown today are genetically engineered to be glyphosate resistant and that mnay make them unacceptable to someone growing things organically. Milorganite, or another sewage waste product, is good for warm season (southern) grasses as well as cool season (northern) grasses.
I am not an organic purist. I use organic fertilizers on my Tif419 lawn because I like the results. I regularly use CGM, cotton seed meal, soy bean meal, and occasionally Milorganite on my lawn. I usually rotate between the different grains and throw in Milorganite once per season.
Bermuda is a nitrogen hog. I put out between 50 - 100 lbs of grain on my 4000 sq ft lawn monthly to keep it green. It's a little more expensive, but if you want "easy", go with the CGM. It's higher protein and you can use less of it. A 50 lb bag costs me almost $30 and will keep my lawn looking good for 6 weeks or so.
Understand that my lawn is my hobby. I have the "golf course" look with my lawn and don't mind whatever work it takes. I switched to organic fertilizers 6 or 8 years ago just to see if I could get the golf course look with organic fertilization. Yes, you can. If you're not as OCD about your lawn as I am, I suspect you can get by with a lot less fertilization and still have a nice bermuda lawn.
Organic fertilizers are not fast acting like their synthetic counterparts. You have to think ahead a little with them. If you wait until you see a nitrogen deficiency, you are several weeks away from correcting it.
I usually apply the first application in mid March or whenever I first start to see some green in the lawn. The next application is around the first of May when everything is starting to green up. From that point, it's roughly a monthly schedule for me. I don't have any real set schedule.
One good thing about organic fertilizers is that they don't burn and they don't have to be watered in. I can throw down some cotton seed meal in 105 degree sunshine and not worry about it.

Guest Commentary
By Douglas W. Greene and Claire Loebs Davis, Shareholders with Lane Powell PC in Seattle, Washington. They co-authored WLF's amicus brief pro bono in Omnicare.
In the opinion issued on March 24 in Omnicare, Inc. v. Laborers District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund ("Omnicare"), the Supreme Court rejected the two extremes advocated by the parties regarding how the truth or falsity of statements of opinion should be considered under the securities laws. Instead, it adopted the middle path advocated in the amicus brief filed by Lane Powell on behalf of Washington Legal Foundation ("WLF").
In doing so, the Court also laid out a blueprint for examining claims of falsity under the securities laws, which we believe will do for falsity analysis what Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd., 551 U.S. 308 (2007), did for scienter analysis. Hence, Omnicare will help defense counsel defeat claims that opinions were false or misleading in § 11 cases, as well as in cases brought under § 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act.

Pira & Figli Barolo Cannubi Chiara Boschis 1996
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
The regal Barolo Cannubi has a nose with myriad of sweet scents of spice and ripe fruit, that is accompanied by the classical notes of Cannubi (mint and eucalyptus). With a lively taste that is powerful and chewy, but pleasingly elegant. It has impressive structure and decisive tannins with a long and fantastic finish. A highly award wine recognized worldwide.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Shows wonderful aromas, with blackberry, prune, strawberry and light toasty oak. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Gorgeous now, but will improve even more with age."
International Wine Cellar - "Very good deep red. Slightly roasted, floral aromas of strawberry jam, plum and licorice. Rich and chewy in the mouth, with the brightness and firm grip of the vinage. The wine strong material handles the new oak gracefully. Finishes quite long and ripe, with chewy tannins."

About Piedmont(PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review0 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Carnival Cruisers Thirsty for Thirstyfrog
Carnival Cruises is bringing its private-label draught beer ThirstyFrog Red, which was introduced on the Carnival Magic in May, to the rest of its fleet. Fifteen Carnival ships have already received kegs of the brew, with three more set to get them soon. The beer sells for $5.50 a glass and debuted in the Caribbean-themed RedFrog pub, the cruise line's first. USA Today notes that Carnival may introduce the pub concept to other ships along with the beer.
Heineken's World Comes to India
Heineken, whose tagline is "Open Your World," is making good on that promise in India, where it's now launching its premium lager, locally brewed and bottled by United Breweries. The brand is targeting "affluent, sophisticated and discerning consumers in India," Kalyan Ganguly, president and director of United Breweries Limited, told India Infoline News Service, with its initial launch in Bombay and Pune. Rollout to the rest of the country will follow in coming months.
B.C. Winemaker Gets Boxed In by Wine Authority
A winemaker in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley that switched to boxes for its wine rather than bottles will be saving transportation costs – but at the cost of losing its prestigious B.C. Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) designation. The VQA label guarantees that a wine is 100% from B.C. and that it meets certain quality standards. However, only bottled wine is eligible — a holdover from when only the poorest quality of wine was boxed, something that is no longer true.
Ezra Clipes, COO of Summerhill Pyramid Winery, says the winery decided to switch to bags-in-boxes for environmental reasons, as boxes stack better in trucks and so more wine can move with fewer gas-guzzling trips. Besides efficiency, boxed wine also lasts longer on the shelf. The winery is appealing to the B.C. Wine Authority to get the rule changed, and in the meantime, plans to educate wine authorities and the public about the new reality of boxed wine, The Vancouver Sun reported.
Buffalo Trace Lets White Dogs Loose
The unaged whiskey trend is going strong, with Buffalo Trace Distillery launching two new variations, White Dog Wheated Mash and White Dog Rye Mash, to join its original unaged whiskey, White Dog Mash #1. The Wheated Mash White Dog is made from corn, barley and wheat and is the spirit that is aged to become W.L. Weller and Pappy Van Winkle Bourbons, while the Rye Mash White Dog is made from corn, barley, and rye grains. When aged, this becomes Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey.

Foes urge no on water permits for Tusayan resort
FLAGSTAFF -- An array of groups is urging state regulators to deny water permits needed for a major resort, commercial and residential development at the small community at the entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park's South Rim.
The Italian holding company that wants the Arizona Corporation Commission to approve plans to drill wells to supply the development recently asked for a delay. The Stilo Group says it is trying to address the concerns of a variety of groups and working to get access to federal lands it needs for the project.
The Arizona Daily Sun reports the project was approved by the Tusayan Town Council in October 2011.
But the plans for water wells are opposed by the Havasupai Tribe, the Grand Canyon National Park's superintendent and the Sierra Club.

In Pursuit of Equity: Women, Men, and the Quest for Economic Citizenship in 20th-Century America
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Few historians have contributed more to our understanding of the history of women, and women's effect on history, than Alice Kessler-Harris. Author of the classic Out to Work, she is one of the country's leading scholars of gender, the economy, and public policy.
In this volume, Kessler-Harris pierces the skin of arguments and legislation to grasp the preconceptions that have shaped the experience of women: a "gendered imagination" that has defined what men and women alike think of as fair and desirable. In this brilliant account that traces social policy from the New Deal to the 1970s, she shows how a deeply embedded set of beliefs has distorted seemingly neutral social legislation to further limit the freedom and equality of women. Government rules generally sought to protect women from exploitation, even from employment itself; but at the same time, they attached the most important benefits to wage work. To be a real citizen, one must earn--and most policymakers (even female ones) assumed from the beginning that women were not, and should not be breadwinners. Kessler-Harris traces the impact of this gender bias in the New Deal programs of Social Security, unemployment insurance, and fair labor standards, in Federal income tax policy, and the new discussion of women's rights that emerged after World War II. "For generations," she writes, "American women lacked not merely the practice, but frequently the idea of individual economic freedom." Only in the 1960s and '70s did old assumptions begin to break down--yet the process is far from complete.
Even today, with women closer to full economic citizenship than ever before, Kessler-Harris's insights offer a keen new understanding of the issues that dominate the headlines, from the marriage penalty in the tax code to the glass ceiling in corporate America.
A major new work by a leading women's historian and a study of how a "gendered imagination" has shaped social policy in America. Illustrations.
In this volume, Alice Kessler-Harris explores the transformation of some of the United States' most significant social policies. Tracing changing ideals of fairness from the 1920s to the 1970s, she shows how a deeply embedded set of beliefs, or "gendered imagination" shaped seemingly neutral social legislation to limit the freedom and equality of women. Law and custom generally sought to protect women from exploitation, and sometimes from employment itself; but at the same time, they assigned the most important benefits to wage work. Most policy makers (even female ones) assumed from the beginning that women would not be breadwinners. Kessler-Harris shows how ideas about what was fair for men as well as women influenced old age and unemployment insurance, fair labor standards, Federal income tax policy, and the new discussion of women's rights that emerged after World War II. Only in the 1960s and 1970s did the gendered imagination begin to alter--yet the process is far from complete.

I need some privacy!
Hi folks,
A buddy of mine has a nice balcony but he rarely goes out there because there's just no privacy at all out there LOL. Take a look at the picture and you'll know what i am talking about.
Any suggestions as to what can be done would be greatly appreciated. What plants/vines can i plant to improve my privacy. Better still, show me your pictures. Plants that can go weeks without water are even better :-).
Thanks! orion
How about some outdoor drapery, on a tension line? Something creamy and billowy.
I'd incline to try a roll-down bamboo blind and some potted plants - something like the attached picture. I don't know what plants suit your climate, but the plant on the right in the picture is an artificial one.
Click here to see
It looks like the large plants at the other end of the balcony are there to take advantage of additional light there. I'd go with shrubs n bulb's big pots of bamboo, or blind curtain like Herb's. Also, there must be some tropical vines that could grow on a large trellis that maybe you could have built or purchase -
crotons. (see link) crotons are easily grown from arid Mexico to balmy Hawaii. they will grow large in pots and cannot be beat for colorful foliage! they will tolerate the occasional drought and are quite disease resistant. mine started out about the size of the plants in your pic and 3 years later they are over 5' tall. i've had them in full sun but also on a patio much like the one pictured here. while the bamboo screen idea is a good idea - i would worry about the loss of light and airflow, esp if i wanted to grow any plants on this porch. something like cheesecloth might be a better choice, allowing more light and air. it can easily be dyed to a color you like or even soaked in tea for an 'antique' look.
Here is a link that might be useful: Crotons
Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! If i put up a blind, it might block my neighbor's view (the neighbor to my left), so i guess it's a no. The plants you see actually belong to the neighbor 2 doors away, not my immediate neighbor to my right. So i guess that leaves only vines/trellis and/or bushy plants.
I've been shopping around. Bamboos are too expensive! The most affordable plants i could find are elephant's ears. I like Raphis palm too but it's also more expensive than EE.
It appears that the neighbors on the other side of your friends neighbor had the same issues with "clothesline neighbor" as your friend. Hence their own wall of plants.
I think thats a great idea. Copy what they did. Use lots of tall potted plants like the other neighbors did.
First of all, that's not to badddd, but if your really seeking privacy, something that is from your area that will block at least 50-75% will give you some. If you want more you have to get expensive...(according to what i've read)
Although I like privacy (i'm in country) I do not want my tousha sticking up in the air for everyne to see) when they drive by...I plain simple want to work in my garden and or experiment as to my humble gardening experience...
My thinking is "do what you can do best and don't let anybody judge" and "make you feel less of for trying"
Hey, thanks again for all your wonderful suggestions. It gets very very windy out there so a blind is definitely not a good idea. Besides, it will block my neighbor's (left) sea/city view. I have been shopping around and might be getting 2 each of raphis palm, green palm and Elephant's Ear. So there will be 3 of them on each side. Not enough i know but i will add 2 more later. Hmm,i should get one more for the inside too.
I just ordered 2 ea Raphis Palm, 2 each Yellow Palm (?), 2 ea Elephant's Ear and 1 ea Lipstick Palm. Delivery in one hour. Cost me a total of 340 ringgit (90 USD). May not seem a lot, except i am still between job LOL. I will post the after-pic. Thanks. Kurt.
Here are the After-Pix. I placed the bushier plants on the left because the owners are out more often - almost every day/night.
2x Raphis Palms, 2x Elephant's Ear (Alocasia Macrorrhizza, 3x yellow palms, 1x red palm (lipstick palm?). Altogether 375 Ringgit, approximately 100 USD...ouch LOL. Prices inclusive of the pots and saucers. I am going to bring one of the yellow palms indoor.
Thanks, Kurt

EPAM Systems, Inc. (NYSE:EPAM), a leading global IT services provider, was facing several challenges. The company needed to find a solution that would allow its sales force to access documents quickly and easily using a centralized knowledge
management system. By deploying FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint, EPAM was able to provide its employees with a user-friendly tool that shortened search time and increased productivity.
EPAM has a blue-chip clientele, focusing its business on Forbes Global 2000 companies. EPAM offers solutions and services that include complex software product engineering for leading global software and technology vendors, as well as development, testing,
maintenance, and support of mission critical business applications for enterprises.
"One of our goals was to increase the sales and presales teams' efficiency and productivity by making it easier for them to find relevant documentation. Another objective was to improve collaboration between EPAM's geographically distributed divisions, business
units, solution practices, competency centers and accounts without compromising security and compliance regulations. It was also important that the solution would be cost-effective. In the past, our sales team had no choice but to painstakingly go through
different resources in order to build a sales presentation. Understandably, they were getting frustrated because it would take days just to compile a set of documents that they needed," says Vlad Eydelman, Head of EPAM's Microsoft Competency Center.
A solution was needed that would not only provide a centralized document storage solution, but also increase collaboration within the company, improve the quality of sales and presales materials, reduce the sales cycle as well as improve the quality of its
global information management system through improved search, taxonomy and semantic analysis.
As a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner, EPAM was well-equipped to find a solution internally. After a thorough analysis of all options, the company decided to combine FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint with its own commercially available information management
product—InfoNgen. The decision to use FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint was based on the need of the sales and pre-sales team to find, collate, package and distribute sales material quickly and efficiently. Using this solution, employees are able to build
sales decks in a fraction of the time that it previously took.
In order to enhance the user-experience, FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint has an out-of-the-box functionality that allows visual search. This means that instead of opening the documents one by one, the results of a search can be previewed. The preview
will show relevant information such as title, short description, file size, as well as a thumbnail view that identifies the document type and author. This functionality can significantly reduce search time.
Reduce Time from Days to Hours
FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint enabled EPAM to drastically reduce the time required to search through thousands of documents and prepare materials. The new tool has saved time and boosted productivity within the team.
Improved Collaboration
With the sales portal based on Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint, we are able to continuously improve relevancy of search results, streamline knowledge management and improve collaboration between our global business units.
Faster Response Time for RFPs (Request for Proposal) and Better Win Rates
Leveraging the comprehensive SharePoint development platform, we were able to build a custom search-driven application integrated with the internal line of business solutions, centralize search taxonomy and improve document workflow. In practice, this means
that in addition to enabling our users with the right business information, we are able to increase the capacity for pre-sales requests from 30% to 50% annually, while still maintaining the same operational team size.
Low Cost of Ownership
One of the advantages of implementing Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint in our company is that parts of our infrastructure use Microsoft technologies and solutions. Therefore, we took advantage of our present IT resources, which made it cheaper
for us to implement this solution.
For the company, implementing this project has proven to be a resounding success and has earned EPAM a spot on Information Week's Top 250 Innovators in 2012.
EPAM (NYSE:EPAM) is a leading global IT services provider focused on complex software product development services, software engineering and vertically-oriented custom development solutions.

Wow ty my fellow brolaf. Ive been shouting at dragonds for months now. Weird I useto be able to obtain more hp back in season 2 with him
I agree that Riot went a bit too far on this, and I was the one who made some QQ threads. However, I hate Olaf, I am not happy and not sad about the Olaf. Increase his ult duration by 1 second and he is good.
Tbh this doesn't even seem like a QQ thread. The OP made some good points that I wish Riot would actually listen to or at least read.
I didn't see the nerf coming. I bought Olaf with ip two days ago, played one game with him yesterday...
Ugh..Jarvan IV was the first champ i bought and the only champ i played and after the nerfs and the newest champs that can escape his ultimate really made me disappointed i left j4 in a corner. Then i discovered olaf it made me happy again and started to main him..then these nerfs came..RIOT YOU ARE GIVING ME A REASON NOT TO PLAY THIS GAME ANYMORE...1st j4 now olaf? Is it a crime to be strong?. What have you got against manly beards?..
Bump please.
I play Olaf pretty much every day (mainly just in AI matches because I do a 3v3 AI game when my FWOTD is up), I noticed a big difference playing him today. I used to be able to consistently catch runners after 2 axes or so, now the best I can usually do is stay close enough to land another axe. The slow nerf on his Q makes a big difference.

So here's installment number five of my silly experiment, and I realize that I started off pretty deep and that there have been some seriously baffling scents in this list so far. I suppose its a little cruel to start people off with Jicky and Chanel No. 5, so I think its time to go back to the square one, the very first things I think guys interested in getting to know fragrances should smell.

Advice on Carrier and Luxaire Quotes
Hello, we live in a 1500 sq. ft. house in New Jersey. My HVAC system is about 25 years old, so I am looking to replace it and take advantage of some of the state rebates. I received a few quotes, and narrowed it down to these two:
Quote 1 - Luxaire System:
Furnace: TG9S080B12MP11, 95.5%, 80,000 BTU
A/C: TCJD36S41S1 3 Ton, 13 SEER
Coil: ???
Quote 2 - Carrier System:
Furnace: 59SP5A080E17-16 96.5% 80,000 BTU
A/C: 59SP5A080E17-16 3 Ton, 16 SEER
Coil: CNPVP4821
How do these two quotes compare? I'm leaning towards the Carrier system due to the price, but can't find much information on the A/C unit they are quoting. Any feedback would be appreciated.
I apologize for the incorrect part number, here are the corrected numbers:
Quote 1 - Luxaire System:
Furnace: TG9S080B12MP11, 95.5%, 80,000 BTU
A/C: TCJD36S41S1 3 Ton, 13 SEER
Coil: ??? (still waiting to hear back from contractor)
Quote 2 - Carrier System:
Furnace: 59SP5A080E17-16 96.5% 80,000 BTU
A/C: CA16NA036 3 Ton, 16 SEER
Coil: CNPVP4821
The numbers I got from the contractor doing the manual J were 32379 Btuh for heating and 22921 Btuh for cooling. However, all my ducts run through a vented crawlspace, and I was advised not to insulate them due to the possibilty of the water pipes freezing down there. Would this impact the sizing?
I don't understand dealer's sizing versus the load calc.
And to be clear, your ductwork in attic is not insulated?
And dealer is comfortable and will stand behind installing a 95%+ condensing furnace in an attic install for a NJ location?
You need some other opinions on the above.
The dealer that did the load calc suggested a 60k btu if I went with the Infinity system, but 80k btu for the Performance series.
I have a downflow system, the return in the attic is insulated, but the ducts that run through the crawlspace feeding the registers are not. The furnace is located in a first floor utility room.
And where does dealer plan on installing new furnace?
The furnaces quoted are both 95% eff condensing furnaces, Luxaire and Carrier.
And you still have not posted the correct Carrier AC condenser?
The supply lines should be insulated. Any reason why they aren't?
Post back.
The new furnace would be located in the utility room as well, which is part of the house that is heated and cooled.
The AC Condenser is CA16NA03600G. I called the dealer, they said this is similar to the 24ABC6 series?
Not sure why the lines arent insulated, it looks like it was designed to use the losses from the ducts to prevent freezing. Could I insulate both the pipes and ducting in the space?
"The dealer that did the load calc suggested a 60k btu if I went with the Infinity system, but 80k btu for the Performance series."
This statement makes no sense to me. An 80K furnace is oversized reqardless of the number of stages or whether it is variable speed or not. Even a 60K at 95% AFUE is oversized. I don't get a good feeling about this contractor.
The CA16NA036 condenser and 24ABC6 series are builder's grade models. I recommend you spend the money to upgrade to a better model.
I assume the crawl space under the house is fully enclosed and insulated. How cold does it get in the crawl space in the winter?
It didn't make sense to me either, unless it was done to get a rebate. Haven't called them about it yet, I plan on doing so sometime next week.
The crawl space is vented and open to the outside air, so it does get cold down there. I actually just recently added more insulation due to cold floors in some rooms. I've only lived in it for a couple of months now, so I'm still learning - should these vents be closed in the winter, or would it lead to moisture problems?
The job of th hvac guy is to install the most efficient system possible. code requires duct to be insualted in unconditioned soace.have pipes insulated to protect from freezing and or dump a supply in the crwal.to suggest not to insulate??I would be concerned, insulate the crawl space ceiling.I install 90+ furnaces in attic all the time, over 20 yrs in north jersey.Need to know how to do it properly.

Ebay Petition: Increase Feedback Window for Seeds
Edymnion(7a)July 5, 2012
This was/is up over in the hot peppers forum, but its definitely something that needs more exposure, so I'm reposting it around.
Basic jist, ebay only allows feedback to be left for 60 days after purchase, after that the window closes. Ebay seed sellers take advantage of this by selling large amounts of "rare" seeds knowing full well that by the time anyone can grow one out and discover they've been had, its too late to leave any form of negative feedback or report them for it.
Don't know if it'll do any good or not, but pass it around if you can.

Cash to the tune of Rs. 32 lakh was stolen from a house in Vengaivaasal near Tambaram. The crime came to light when the inhabitants of the house returned from a visit to a temple on Monday morning. According to Selaiyur police, Sivakumar (33), a builder, had sold a piece of land in Tiruvallur district. He had kept the money at his home.
On Saturday, he went to Tiruchendur, after locking his home, to offer prayers at the Subramanya Swamy Temple. He returned on Monday morning and found the house ransacked.
Police said burglars gained entry by breaking open the steel grille gate and wooden door at the back of the house. They took away the cash, a couple of LPG cylinders and a laptop. However, Rs. 1 lakh inside the laptop bag was intact.

Safely test drive any theme as an administrator, while visitors use the default one.
switched the theme and tested it. works like a charme.
I might be using it wrong, but the fact that you can´t assign Widgets or Menus to the "testing" theme renders this plugin nearly useless. I ended up making a duplicate of the install on a different folder (as usual)
I've used this plugin in the past which been a great help to me.
I'm sad to see that it's not updated anymore and does not seem to work at all with newer versions of WordPress.
Thanks for as long it lasted!
Definitely works for previewing pages of your site under different themes by specifying the URL _GET parameter '?theme=themename'.
Make sure that the 'themename' matches the folder name of '/wp-content/themes/themename'
So if you want to preview your site with the Twenty Twelve theme, the appropriate URL would be:
http: // yoursite.com/?theme=twentytwelve
Initially, it DID work for me. Only I could see any changes to the site. I had my site open on another computer next to me, constantly checking to see if any changes made their way across from my possible new theme to my current theme. And they did. When I made some minor changes in the WordPress theme customizer, the background colour of my current theme was changed to that of the theme I was testing. I then spent a few frantic minuets trying to correct the problem, as my nice blue-white gradient had been replaced with a cream-grey that clashed horribly.
In other words, I could not install, tweak and test plugins without breaking the visitor experience, as advertised. Hence, 1 star.
great work. this makes theme development much easier! widgets are not working in preview but thats a negligible problem. its a real relief to be able to test a complete site with a new theme.
ok, after a week of testing and tweaking my new theme with the help of this fantastic plug-in, I have just switched my production site over. what an amazingly simple transition... many thanks.

It's 11am and time for the Komodo dragons' morning snack. It's a stiflingly hot day, the ground bone dry and the air rich with the dragons' rancid, meaty smell.

It's not hard to keep Sumba a secret. For starters, it's not an easy island to find. While it sits 400km east of Bali, below Komodo and next to Timor, most Indonesians have never heard of it.

Sweet Pea Puree
In a skillet, sauté the chopped onion with some of the chicken stock. Add the garlic, peas, sunflower seeds and more stock to cover the peas. Add salt and pepper. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes and puree the pea mixture in a blender. Keep warm.
Place lobsters in the freezer for five minutes. Remove them, and with a large knife, split open the top of the lobster head to kill them instantly Place the 4 lobsters in a large pot with salted, boiling water (use sea salt). Cook them in the boiling water for 9 minutes or more (no longer than11 minutes). Remove the lobsters from the pot and keep them hot on the side. Pour 2 cups of the lobster water in a smaller pot, and bring it to a boil. Little by little, add the soft butter. Blend the liquid and butter together with a whisk or hand blender until you have an emulsion. Add the lemon zest parsley and tarragon. Keep warm.
Cut the lobster length way from head to tail. On a hot plate, place the peas and lobster. Pour some of the sauce over the lobster. Decorate with some very nice Maine flowers. Serve

Want Low Light, High to Low Humidity Plant?
I've moved into my mother's basement apartment and wanting a plant for my bedroom. With walk out basement, we have full windows in livingroom and bedroom, but it is strictly indirect light for half a day, from under the deck above. We already have a Sansevieria doing well in the livingroom so far, but I wanted something a little more "flashy" in my bedroom.
The miniature rose my mother got me for Valentine's Day shriveled up from how dry it was in my room (we did rescue it, and she now has it back in her care upstairs/outside). And my plant stand sits alone and empty.
Problem is... During the winter, the temp sits at about 68F with only 15% relative humidity (due to electric, ceramic heater). In the summer, the humidity gets much higher with a max temp of 75F.
Aside from the hearty foliage type plants (like Sansevieria, Pothos, or Spaths) is there a colorful plant (either blooms or foliage) that would tolerate these conditions year round? I just want something other than just "green" in my room. Even though "Green is Good", LOL.
Is there such a plant that could survive the dark and arid winters in my room?
Thanks a bunch for your input in advance!
Sharara..Which directions do your windows face? Are they obstructed by neighboring buildings, trees, curtains or blinds?
Don't judge your thumb or light by a Mini Rose. They are very very difficult, if not impossible thriving indoors. Most who buy them either, 1. toss after flowering or 2. plant in their garden, if hardy.
So, you're looking for a plant that has color? Other than green? Are you searching for tropicals or will succulents do? Or does it not matter?
There are several ways to increase humidity..First and best choice is to buy a humidifer. They're helpful to plants, people and pets.
There are several types of humidifers on the market..Consoles and smaller, 2-3 gallon filter-less types. Walgreens and Walmart sell humidifers, and now that winter is over most are on sale. Costs begin at 14.99 up to 200.00 depending on the type. Or if you're into name brands. I'm not into brand names, my concern is whether or not it does the job.
Misting and showering plants increase humidity. For those with a large number of plants, grouping together.
Humidity trays work fine, especially with plants growing in containers under 10" diameters. You don't have to buy anything special other than a bag of stones/pebbles for these trays. I bought a bag of pebbles at Home Depot..40 or 50 lbs for 2.50. Since you won't be needing that much, HD sells smaller bags of stones, including decorative, different colors. Heck some dollar stores sell them. 1 bag is enough for one tray.
I save all types of containers, from frozen dinners to cake pans. As long as they're strong and don't crack, they work. I even have family members and friends save usable trays..lol I prefer brighter colors like silver, but any color works.
Of course boiling water will humidify a house, but I doubt you'll want to boil water 8 hours per day. lol.
What type of heat do you have? If you have space heaters or radiators, placing a pan of water on top works somewhat, but depending on the plant if it required a lot of humidity, a pan on the heater won't be enough.
If you answer some of these questions we can narrow down plants that would work..Toni
My windows are facing NE, with mini-blinds I open each morning. Multi-color sheer curtains cover whole window except parted in middle where plant would sit. No direct sunlight comes through the windows because of the deck above extends 10 ft from NE wall. For about 7 hours each day, there is enough natural light coming through the windows to read a book by. Plant stand is approximately 12" x 12".
I don't really care what type of plant it is (native, tropical, succulent, etc). However, I love flowers/blooms and/or the strange or unusual looking plants. But it could be something with leaves that have hues of orange, pink, purple, or red. Just something besides a solid, year round green. Also, something that will remain fairly small and not exceed a 9" pot.
The heater I have is a small cube ceramic heater (like 6-7" kind), placed 5 ft from plant stand, and aiming diagonally at center of room. Since electrical outlets and space is very limited in the room, I may have to resort to daily misting of plant and/or small pebble tray during the winter months. Sadly, one more thing like a humidifier plugged in would add to my already-high winter electric bill. :(
Thank you so much for your input. I'm a bit of a dummy re: houseplants and the Sansevieria is the only one I've ever had success with over the years. (Had same one for 5 yrs until it froze during a move). I'm already guessing that our new Sans won't have enough light to bloom as my previous one did at old house. But that's ok.
I don't really know that many different plants, but why not try finding a birdnest sansevieria? They grow shorter than a normal sans, and I maybe wrong but I thought not as wide. Some of the varieties that I have seen have interesting color combinations and you were able to grow them in the past. Just my thoughts.
I'd suggest Chlorophytum 'Fireflash' (aka Chlorophytum orchidastrum, Chlorophytum orchidantheroides,Chlorophytum amaniense)
Place in in your brightest location, and during the winter, perhaps using a pebble tray will help with your low humidity.
Here is a link that might be useful: Chlorophytum 'Fireflash'
I couldn't stand seeing the REALLY sad shape of the plants at Kmart anymore... so I brought home a wilted, spindly looking peace lily in a 6" pot. It's already perked up with a good luke warm bath (it was bone dry), some pruning of dead/dying leaves, and new pebble tray under it.
It might be a tad bit cold by my window right now (been ranging between 52F-65F) but the humidity has been steady in the 70-80% range where the plant sits since adding the pebble tray (dollar store rocks for rocks, lol).
Thing is, now I don't know what kind of spathiphyllum it is. :( I'll have to see about getting some pics to the web.
And OMG... it looks like I'll have to move some things and add another plant stand. I love the looks and color of the Fire Flash!!! (but I may wait a month or two when it's not as chilly by the window). Thanks for the suggestion!
Shad, so you want a plant that thrives in semi-low light, medium humidity and flowers? Hmm, that's tricky. lol
Sans fit the bill, but getting one to flower is difficult..
A plus about Sans is, there are many shapes and colors. You might like a Golden Sans, or variegated..They do okay in dry air, and some low light, but medium light is best.
I reread your initial thread..mini roses need full sun. NE light isn't sufficient. Even w/direct sun, they're not easy growing indoors.
If you're an early riser, open blinds immediately. Keep opened till sunset. (if possible)
Electric bills! Yes, a problem. Fluerescent lighting doesn't eat up electric, so they're fairly thrifty.
Are you familiar with Bromiliads? My favorite is fasciata. They have beautiful, large pink, speckled flowers. Blooms last 7-8 months. Baby shoots grow off mom plant. After babies are 7", they're removed from mom, and potted in same size pots mom was in. You don't have to increase pot size. The average pots range 6-8" diameter. When mom plant is in a window, she doesn't need much light..In fact, it really doesn't matter how much sun she gets, but babies/offshoots need light to grow and rebloom.
Cast Iron plants need little light..but again, flowering is rare. They are slow-growing. Like Sans, there are different varieties..some green, others variegated.
If it wasn't for your heating vent, ferns thrive in low light, but they NEED humidity.
The same applies to some palms..Even desert palms that endure dry air, needs light.
Does your window face more east or north? Dracaenas do fine in east windows..
There are ways to increase humidity w/o buying a humidifer, but it requires some work. Toni
I might add that I had a sanseveria to bloom this winter in fairly low light. I gave it a high middle number fertilizer last summer and there it was this late winter, a beautiful flower stalk that smelled wonderful in a couple rooms.
You might have that peace plant bloom too with a high middle number fertilizer.
So all's good so far, but what do you mean by "high middle number" fertilizer? I understand the numbers now, but give me an example. And do I repot then fertilize, or repot and wait for shock to subside, then fertilize?
My Sans is in very poor light ATM in other room and doing fine and when/if it blossoms so be it. My peace lily seems to be doing better in higher light w/ pebble tray in my bedroom (even though filtered).
Sans is heavily filtered by cellular shades at this time and I doubt it will flower (but no biggie).
Looking to expand now with diff flashy plants in bedroom. I hardly consider the Sans flashy (or with different colors besides green, light green, and yellow). Kinda boring to me.
Thinking of Fire Flash next cuz of it's hues of pink/coral at base. Or trying "mother of thousand" just cuz it's neat in how it propagates. (Live birth amongst plants excites me!)
But thx for your advice. It's appreciated.
