Time magazine named it the greatest comedy sketch of the 20th century. At the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, a continuous loop runs to the delight of fans. In 2005, the line "Who's on First?" was included on the American Film Institute's list of 100 greatest movie quotes of all time.
When I was about eight years old, I first heard it performed on the Abbott and Costello TV show and I remember thinking, Wow, baseball AND funny. What could be better than that?
The origins of this timeless piece of comedy are a bit sketchy, but even Abbott and Costello conceded that the premise of confusing names with other parts of speech had a long history in Vaudeville.
I don't want to spend the money; I don't think we will get a good return on our investment; the house will be a total mess for six weeks; it will be extremely stressful; and, I really don't care if we have soft-close cabinet doors and roll-out pantry shelves.
I only agreed to remodel the kitchen because I was sure that once the construction began, I'd find lots of humorous things to write about, which is way more important to me than granite counter tops with beveled (or did we decide on rounded?) edges.
This month marks my 35th year in television. It seems like just yesterday I was nervously standing in front of a camera, not sure which direction to look, unprepared for my segment and babbling incoherently. Wait a second – that was yesterday!
I originally wrote that paragraph in 2009, lamenting that after all my years on earth, I had failed to improve in 10 specific areas. I pledged to make strides and then update readers on my progress in about five years. So, as promised, here goes . . .
My wife informed me the other day that she was top heavy. "I have to be honest," I told her, "but I never noticed this."
"That's because you are a man," she said.
Mary Ellen came to this conclusion not by looking in the mirror, but by looking in the kitchen cabinets. "You wouldn't have known about this problem," continued Mary Ellen, "because men never look inside pantries."
Things were getting weird, even for me.
Mary Ellen's revelation about being top-heavy came about when we decided to redo our kitchen. By the way, I think that "redo" is the wrong word. If you are redoing something, that means you did it once before. (A woman sometimes gets a hairdo, but it's really a hair redo.) I have no memory of ever doing our kitchen. We moved in 20 years ago . . . and there it was. We haven't done another thing to it since 1992, except replace the toaster. Now, apparently, we are redoing it.
This is Part Two of my highlights of the newest Hammacher Schlemmer gift catalog. Just in time for Father's Day, it includes some items that might make dad wish you'd gotten him a tie.
Insect Blunderbuss: This is a rifle-type weapon that when loaded with salt can be used like a shotgun to pulverize flying insects. It offers a great lesson to pests about the dangers of a high sodium diet.
The Selfie Toaster: Here's how it works. You upload a photo of yourself to the manufacturer and they send you a customized heating insert that imbeds your likeness onto the toasted bread. Many women returned the item, claiming they looked old and wrinkled, so now the company is recommending against using English muffins.
It's been a rough week for me. We had been together for almost 25 years and we were very attached. For reasons way too complicated to explain, regulations at the BMV would not allow me to renew my BARNEY8 license plate. What an emotional goodbye we had.
For those who don't know, Barney was my beagle who accompanied me on WISH-TV, Channel 8, for more than 12 years, entertaining viewers with his unpredictable antics each morning. Next month marks the 25th anniversary of when I found him on my doorstep on my way to work at the TV station. I soon started taking him to work with me every day at my wife's insistence (he was destroying the house). He became a TV star very quickly and I celebrated our working relationship by purchasing a vanity plate with his name and the station's number.
Just in time, my newest Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue has arrived, I assume for Christmas 2015. Below are some actual items for sale.
Instant Pickleball Set: This game sets up in the yard in minutes. It combines the skills required for badminton, table tennis and regular tennis. I think we can all agree that when we want spur-of-the-moment enjoyment, the first thing we think of is combining three sports we are bad at. By the way, the national pickleball champion has been accused of deflating the balls in the competition. In pickleball, this is just not kosher.
The Giant Rubber Duckie: This 8-foot inflatable duck for the pool has a pretty good chance of turning up in your kids' nightmares. Here's what the catalogue says: "The Rubber Duckie has a bulbous aquatic form . . . with a bouncing buoyancy that compels wanton water play." There's a nightmare for writing teachers.
10. The monologue. Unlike other hosts, Dave is quick to admit when one of his jokes has bombed, a technique he learned from Johnny Carson. But here's another difference in late night monologue style: for Fallon in particular, virtually every punchline is followed by additional commentary, attempting to reinforce the joke. Letterman's zinger is over when it's over, except for the host's mugging to the audience. Which approach is better? Well, if you were a Jack Benny fan like I was, you'd know the answer.
9. Fun facts (a segment they have discontinued). Based on the fictitious Federal Bureau of Miscellaneous Information, the sketches began with some relatively obscure but legitimate facts to set up the premise, but then we got gems like this:
Orville Wright was the first person to return his seat to the upright and locked position.
A few weeks ago I wrote a column about the cliché story lines on cop shows. But limiting my criticism to police dramas was a crime. Here's what else drives me nuts in shows:
Doesn't it seem like everyone you see on TV or in the movies is a whiz at typing on a computer keyboard? They use both hands, and keep their eyes on the screen. Can anyone really do that? I may be old school, but I grew up with typewriters, and I took typing in high school. I've been sitting at a keyboard my entire life. But I don't type. I hunt. Then I peck. Then I do a little more hunting and gathering . . . of mistakes. And I only use one hand, which sounds like I'm bragging, but I'm not.
I don't understand it when on a TV show the boss says, "I'm not accepting your resignation." On House of Cards, several staffers have tried to bail on Kevin Spacey, but he simply said "NO WAY: Resignation not accepted." I wish this would have happened to me when I left previous jobs.
"I'm sorry, Dick, we do not accept your letter of resignation."
"Okay, cool. But I'm still not coming to work. Please send my check to this address."


text: Essentially a feature-length episode of NBC's long-running series Law & Order, this crime and courtroom drama marks the return of Chris Noth (Detective Mike Logan) to Manhattan's 27th precinct. For the past three years, Logan has been stuck on Staten Island, the result of an incident in which he lost his temper. Regretting his outburst, Logan yearns to return to his home station. A murdered hooker's body found floating in the harbor may provide the key to his return. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Adam Frazier has been a hitting machine for Mississippi State.
The junior shortstop went 6-for-6 and was a home run shy of the cycle in a 11-6 win over No. 6 (Collegiate Baseball) Virginia in the first game of the Charlottesville Super Regional.
With the six hits, Frazier now has 100 this season and is tied with Richard Lee (1997) for third place in hits in a single season. He is three behind Brian Wiese who tallied 103 hits in 1998.
"Hopefully, I can get a couple more," Frazier said.
Frazier tied four other Bulldogs for most hits in a ballgame. Burke Masters went 6-for-6 in 1990 in an NCAA Tournament game.

Vitol's president and chief executive, Scot Ian Taylor, was at the centre of controversy last year when he emerged as a £500,000 donor to the Better Together campaign.
Mr Taylor is said to be very proud of his Scots family roots but was raised and educated in England.
Vitol was founded in Rotterdam, but is headquartered in Switzerland. It has been linked to dubious deals in Serbia, Iraq, Iran and Libya.
The sale of Shell's downstream businesses includes its Geelong refinery near Melbourne and its 870 retail outlets, the Hague, Netherlands-based company said in a statement. It does not include Shell's aviation unit.
"Australia remains important to Shell, but we are making tough portfolio choices to improve the company's overall competitiveness," Shell's chief executive Ben van Beurden said.
Most affected employees will be able to keep their jobs and continue working under Vitol, Shell said.
The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to be finalised later this year.
Shell has recently sold refineries in the UK, Germany, France, Norway and the Czech Republic.

Racial disconnect in Ferguson, Mo.
I was the director of a human services agency in Detroit during the 1967 riot. It was intense, but it settled down quickly on the lower east side. However, it continued to smolder for many days on the west side. One of the observable differences was that federal troops, mostly black and well-disciplined, provided law enforcement on the east side. They had an easy rapport with the young people. On the west side, the force was almost entirely white National Guard. Login for more...

Jobs Speaks: The Scoop is in From Cupertino
The silence at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California was finally broken today, with Apple CEO Steve Jobs announcing that everyone who has purchased an iPhone 4 would receive a free case. Apple has been shaken about in the media recently since it was discovered that the reception on its wildly popular smart phone was negatively affected by users touching part of integrated external antenna when just trying to use the new phone. The final blow was delivered by Consumer Reports, which withheld its "Recommended" rating for the iPhone despite the very high marks that it received in testing.
Apple killed speculation of a massive recall with its 1PM EST press conference today and while free cases for the iPhone 4 will definitely fix any reception issues that customers have using the phone barehanded, they might have some disappointed. Apple recovered from a huge and nearly deadly slump with the launch of its quirky-styled iMac a little over a decade ago and has been riding the 'i' wave all the way to the top since. Its iPhone series has brought touchscreens to the forefront of the highly competitive smart phone market, and the company managed to sell 1.7 million iPhone 4s within the first three days of its launch.
Jobs made an uncharacteristic apology at the news conference however, "We're not perfect, and phones aren't perfect either, but we want to make all of our users happy," which might cool down some offended by emails allegedly sent by Jobs that included one which told customers that they hold the phone differently. That quote not sound quite apologetic enough? He also stated that "To our customers who are affected by the issue, we are deeply sorry." There you go Jobs; the pain is part of the healing process. As for those lamenting the recent stock Apple stock price drop, he did not offer the same kind words of remorse and bluntly stated he has no apology for that.
The free case offer will last until September 30th, and anyone who has previously purchased the normally $29 case through Apple will be eligible for a full refund for it. You will need to register at Apples website in order to receive your free case registration will begin late next week.
The news from Cupertino satisfying?
Happy that you will get a free case?
Or is this all just fluff and are you still angry that the phone is not working as promised?

Is there a function to automatically align an object's rotation to another object's, like Edit > Align aligns the translated position of one object to another? Studio at least lets you copy and paste all settings that include rotation (but you end up copying translation & scaling as well, if there are any).

It's the season's most compelling comeback: Michael J. Fox is back on TV.
Fox, of course, has Parkinson's disease—a degenerative and incurable condition that causes shaking and involuntary movements, among other things. And it eventually forced him to walk away from his hit Spin City. But he could never completely abandon acting. And so after guest starring in such shows as Boston Legal, Rescue Me and The Good Wife, he's back full-time, playing a family man stricken with Parkinson's and looking to re-ignite his career—a familiar character.
As Mike Henry, Fox is a one-time television anchor who's given an opportunity to return to the air—Parkinson's and all. But while that very public workplace fits snugly in the overall mix, the comedy centers mostly around the home front, where he and wife Annie shepherd three headstrong youngsters—teens Eve and Ian, and precocious kid Graham. There, in the confines of a family that has long dealt with Dad's disease, Parkinson's is not so much a scary, incurable condition as it is a source of both irritation and laughter—like Grandpa's penchant for old stories told a dozen times or Mom's inexplicable need to put mushrooms in everything she cooks.
"Can you not have a personal victory right now?" Annie tells Mike as he struggles to steady his arm long enough to serve the family some scrambled eggs. "We are starving!"
It's a show that you almost have to root for, isn't it? Fox has been a pretty fantastic spokesman in the midst of everything—always hopeful (at least publicly), never self-pitying and just as likable as he's ever been. "There's nothing horrifying about it to me," he told The Guardian. "I don't think it's gothic nastiness. There's nothing horrible on the surface about someone with a shaky hand. The way I look at it, sometimes it's frustrating, sometimes it's funny. I need to look at it that way."
And Fox's self-deprecating charisma gets a nice showcase in his new series. While he's sometimes just a tad hard to understand, his comic timing is as strong as it's ever been. While the show incorporates Parkinson's, it's not about Parkinson's—a crucial distinction. The disease is just one part of the picture, as Fox wants it to be, and as it should be.
It's only when it comes to crasser concerns of content that there are some problems with The Michael J. Fox Show. Mike and Annie aren't going to be cheating on each other any time soon, never mind Mike's wandering eye in Episode 2, but characters around them show little to no qualms about sleeping with various people. The two teens have their own share of hormonally charged storylines, some of them including homosexual tangents. Sly (and sometimes not so sly) sexual jokes pock the script.
Like an old friend (going all the way back to the 1980s' Family Ties), it's oddly reassuring to see Fox again in his element. And his comedy is clearly cleaner and, in many ways, nicer than many sitcoms surrounding it today. But salaciousness still snakes its way around the story, making his a show your family might not want to permanently tie itself to.

Episode Reviews
Mike is attracted to his upstairs neighbor (played by Fox's real-life wife Tracy Pollan), who flirts with him. He refuses to admit said attraction to his wife—despite her hearing him murmur the neighbor's name during a sensual dream. Meanwhile, Eve tries to become a friend with another girl from school just because she thinks the classmate is a lesbian. (She likes "collecting" alternative-minded friends.) A string of mild "gay" jokes follow before the girl is seen kissing Ian, much to Eve's disappointment. (The supposed lesbian says she only kissed a girl at a party because guys think it's "hot.")
Ian, it should be noted, gets it right when he says you really shouldn't make friends with people just because they're gay or straight.
Mike and Annie get frisky and talk about a sexual position in bed while trying to fend off interruptions from their kids. We hear about a cocktail waitress who might have turned out to be a man. Mike's boss talks about having sex on a first date. Quantities of cleavage get screen time, especially Mike's sister Leigh's, who makes a show of holding her breasts as they bounce while she runs. (That happens after she takes Graham to the park so she can pretend to be a single mom and get sympathy.) Leigh also winds up smooching someone in a photo booth.
Characters drink wine, say "h‑‑‑" (once) and misuse God's name (twice). Eve jabs at Chick-fil-A for being "hateful." Ian jabs back with a defense.

Publisher's Description
Quilters have flocked to Elm Creek Manor to learn from Master Quilter Sylvia Compson and her expert colleagues. There's Sarah, Sylvia's onetime apprentice who's paired her quilting accomplishments with a mind for running the business of Elm Creek Quilts; Agnes, who has a gift for appliqué; Gwen, who stitches innovative art quilts; Diane, a whiz at the technicalities of quick-piecing; and Bonnie, with her encyclopedic knowledge of folk art patterns. But with Judy and Summer, two other founding members of the Elm Creek Quilters, departing to pursue other opportunities, will the new teachers be able to fill in the gaps created by the loss of their expertise -- and more important, their friendship?
"When I think of all the different paths I could have followed in my life, all the twists and turns that could have led me anywhere," muses incoming teacher Gretchen, "it's something of a miracle that I ended up here, surrounded by loving friends."
But what of friends departed? As Sylvia contemplates a tribute to the partnership of the Elm Creek Quilters, she is reminded of a traditional quilt pattern whose curved pieces symbolize a journey. Winding Ways, a mosaic of overlapping circles and intertwining curves, would capture the spirit of their friendship at the moment of its transformation.
Will Sylvia's choice inspire the founding members to remember that each is a unique part of a magnificent whole? Will the newcomers find ways to contribute, and to earn their place? The Winding Ways Quilt considers the complicated, often hidden meanings of presence and absence, and what change can mean for those who have come to rely upon one another.

A renowned sports philanthropist Mallam Aminu Kurfi has said that the country has the potentials of producing world class tennis stars in the ranks of Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal.
Kurfi, who stated this in a chat with Trustsports, however said the present effort to raise the standard of the game in the country and raise such stars would be a mirage if adequate attention is not paid to talent discovery, grooming and exposure.
Kurfi, who has also sponsored football competitions in the past, noted that there are abundant talents in the country that require is quality facilities to train and little technical push to reach their zenith in the sport.
"Everywhere you go to in this country you find talents in various sports. Take lawn tennis for instance. There are several promising players. What they lack is proper technical nurturing; the facility to train and this must be adequate.
"I am convinced that we can produce great tennis players in this country. I am also of the view that the efforts of the Nigeria Tennis Federation should be complemented because the federation relies on the government for funding.
"If those in the private would identify with them through sponsorship of events or even sponsoring identified tennis prospects to some training exercises abroad, I think it would go a long way to assist these talents properly horn their skills," he stated.

There are two reasons for that change of heart of everyone when it came to Justin, one of the things is, everyone realized he is actually a really nice guy, and he's been respectful to everyone lately. But besides that HOW he's been playing is amazing, his play is intense, is heartful and he makes it work despite the odds, a true champion.
KOF, UMVC3, and SSFAE all had great sets and finals. Already looking forward to next years EVO!!
You're the people's champ Justin!!!

Double Column Tie
Typically used to tie either on the arms or legs the double column tie can also be used for tying to poles or bamboo or furniture and the like.
The advantage of a double column tie is the elements aren't pressed together which can contribute to reduced circulation or simply make the tie very uncomfortable or even painful. I often use a double column tie to start Gote Ninoude Gattai or a Ryouashi Gattai Ichimonji Shibari.
It is important to note that the wraps should be checked to make sure they are flat.
Once complete the hands or legs can be attached to a suspension point or similar however the tie does not lend itself to taking full body weight.

YIELD: Makes 6 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 35 min
TOTAL TIME: 8 1/4 hr (includes marinating)
Make vinaigrette:
Whisk together all vinaigrette ingredients and chill in an airtight container at least 8 hours to allow flavors to develop. Shake or whisk before using.
Prepare watermelon and pickled rind:
Remove and discard outer green skin from watermelon with a sharp knife. Using a vegetable peeler, shave enough 2-inch-long pieces from white rind to measure 1/2 cup. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Reserve remaining watermelon.
Stir together rice vinegar and sugar in a 1-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Carefully pour boiling-hot vinegar mixture over white rind shavings and let stand at least 1 hour.
Trim and discard remaining white rind from watermelon, then cut watermelon into 18 pieces (about 3-inch squares).
Make salad:
Toss arugula with just enough vinaigrette to coat and salt to taste.
Divide arugula among 6 plates, then place 1 watermelon piece in center of each plate. Top each with a scant 1/4 cup feta, then top with another watermelon piece and more feta. Top each with a final watermelon piece for a stack of 3 on each plate.
Remove pickled rind from vinegar with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Top watermelon stacks with pickled rind and chile slices, then drizzle remaining vinaigrette around salads.
Cooks' notes:
Vinaigrette can be chilled, covered, up to 1 week. Bring to room temperature and stir before serving.
Pickled watermelon rind can be made 1 week ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered.

My life is crazy and I hardly believe the things that have happened! I'm that kid that doesn't really fit in one specific place, doesnt really have that one group of best friends. Im friends with everyone and I hate it when someones mad at me. Im not exactly looking for love, but hey, if it comes I wont say no! :)
"Life is beautiful and you are amazing" That's how i close my nightly prayers to the one who has given me so much in these past few years. I've been through many a trial and temptation but God has brought me through. I now sing and play guitar to my own songs and i am still writing new stories all the time ( unfortunately i haven't finished meeting and gages story yet sorry!). I miss the support from all my fans so give me a shout out on my wall if you're still there for me! <3 Oh and I almost forgot to mention my amazing boyfriend of five months @ArcticCrow who has shown me the true meaning of forgiveness <3 AND HE INTRODUCED ME TO THE MOST AMAZING SHOW EVER: DOCTOR WHO I'm obsessed<3 I love New people so don't be afraid to message me!
I bet NO guy can write a paragraph about me and send it to my inbox; one that I will NEVER forget. See who is the nicest guy on Wattpad who will actually write a paragraph that will stun me. Boys, this is a challenge for you.
IF YOU'RE NOT A CHICKEN PUT THIS ON YOUR PROFILE AND SEE WHAT PEOPLE RATE YOU!! (1) Crazy (2) I'd marry you. (3) I'd date you. (4) Sarcastic. (5) I miss you. (6) I'd kiss you. (7) Beautiful.

Hands-On: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Gear
Note 3 Gear Smartwatch Comments
Replying to: Rich Corinthian Leather by bluecoyote
Re: Rich Corinthian Leather
bluecoyote said:
It's funny that a phone marketed to creatives manages to combine so many bad stylistic decisions- even for Samsung, who has a record streak of building really ugly stuff. Fake leather, fake aluminum, and chunky cheap plastic.
What are you talking about? This phone looks exactly like every other smartphone produced in the past 3 years including the entire Samsung Galaxy series. A responsible phone owner is going to put their phone into a protective case anyway so even if you are a fanboy obsessing about some minor difference between a Note and an HTC One the case if going to hide those minor differences anyway.

'30 Rock's' Keith Powell marries Jill Knox with co-stars in attendanceAdd to Favorites | 30 Rock
Keith Powell, who starred on "30 Rock" as Toofer, married his girlfriend, visual artist Jill Knox, in New York City on Saturday (October 12). The couple tied the knot at Tribeca Rooftop, with several of his "30 Rock" co-stars in attendance, Us Weekly reports.
Among the guests were Katrina Bowden, Maulik Pancholy and Judah Friedlander. No word on what Friedlander's baseball cap said, but surely he was wearing one. It's very rare that he's seen without one.
The happy couple walked down the aisle to the sounds of Motown, which were provided by a trio of jazz musicians. Powell and Knox were engaged in 2012 in Los Angeles, when Keith presented Jill with a fortune cookie with a proposal written on a slip of paper inside. Powell also arranged for Knox to be serenaded by a group of bystanders in the area.

Come and surrender yourself to the insane detail of Inus Pretorius' illustrations
And so to South Africa where I was dazzled and delighted to come across the breathtaking worlds created by Inus Pretorius. Based in Pretoria, I like to think that he has taken the name of his hometown like the heroes of English myths and legends, but it could all just be a lovely coincidence. His work though is anything but coincidental, full of meticulously crafted characters and objects which build up into jaw-droppingly detailed scenes. Take just two of his recent posters – at first glance the eye can't really settle, flitting from one scene to another trying to take it all in. But zoom in on various sections and you fully appreciated the richness of Inus' work and the many narratives he packs in to every inch of his illustrations.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
The term entrepreneur has what I like to refer to as positive brand confusion. For some it conjures up uber geeks like Google founders Brin and Page, or Facebook's Zuckerberg. For others the impression is one of the local restaurateur, dry cleaning proprietor, or gas station owner. Whereas the opinions range in scale from the billion dollar company to the life style enterprise, most people nevertheless have a positive connotation of what an entrepreneur is.
Where you don't hear folks attributing entrepreneurial respect is in big or mature companies and in established industries. So it is that I was pleasantly surprised to recently make the acquaintance of Nick Jekogian, CEO of Signature Community; a national consumer real estate brand owned by the New York City based Signature Community Investment Group. They are a landlord; they lease apartments in several states.
Over the past few hard economic years, they realized that their clients were struggling to stay employed and keeping their head above water on paying bills; most notably the rent. Recognizing an opportunity to help their residents, which in turn was good business for them (a true win/win scenario), Nick and his staff implemented some innovative and entrepreneurial thinking.
In October of 2008, they implemented their first program, Signature Cares, which allowed residents to move out (break leases) without penalties if they lost their jobs. As Nick shared with me, it didn't make sense to kick them when they were already down and pursue expense collection procedures. That program started to pay dividends when former residents did eventually find new employment, many went out of their way to return and lease a Signature Community property.
Later they added the Signature Jobs program. The premise of the jobs program was pretty simple. If a resident fell behind on the rent, they could stop in the office and be assigned a work project to help pay off the rent. Through this program they employed more than 100 residents last summer and it became a win-win for both the residents and the landlord.
The jobs that they trained residents to perform included painting, cleaning, drywall, plaster, office help, accounting, computer consulting, property management and leasing. A number of the residents have gone on to either work for Signature Community or other companies because of the training, experience and even more importantly the self-confidence gained from the program. This program was in no ways a hand-out and many of the residents are now current on rent because of the work they did.
I have to say that this struck me as quite innovative, entrepreneurial, and a plain old fashioned common sense solution to a difficult problem that was threatening their business.
It also shows that an entrepreneurial mindset can exist almost anywhere people are paying attention to problems while working towards solutions. Nick, I commend your creative solution to this problem and I am confident it will pay back dividends many times greater than what it is costing you.

HAP System Design Load
Provides the load estimating and system design features found in its popular cousin � Carrier�s Hourly Analysis Program (HAP). By focusing on system design features, the HAP System Design Load program serves as a simpler, more efficient tool for those users only interested in system design; energy simulation features are omitted. Like the HAP program, HAP System Design Load provides the ease of use of a Windows-based graphical user interface and the computing power of modern 32-bit software.
HAP System Design Load uses a system-based approach to HVAC load estimating. This approach tailors sizing procedures and results to the specific type of system being considered. A wide variety of equipment types can be analyzed, including central station air handlers, packaged rooftop units, split systems, fan coils, water source heat pumps and PTACs. System types include CAV, VAV and multiple-zone systems. Sizing data can also be generated for central chilled water, hot water and steam plants. Calculation rigor and integrity are provided by the ASHRAE Transfer Function Method for calculating building heat flow. An extensive list of easy to read reports and graphs document both the basic data needed for equipment sizing and selection, and detailed data needed to investigate building heat flow and system performance. Screen Shots
Cooling and heating load calculation, HVAC equipment sizing, zoning and air distribution

Useful for new design, retrofit and energy conservation work.
Building geometry, envelope construction, internal heat gains and their schedules; equipment components, configurations and controls.
design reports provide system sizing information and check figures sufficient to select equipment. Detailed design reports provide information on component loads, load profiles, system performance, psychrometrics and building temperatures. All reports can be exported for use in word processors and spreadsheets.

David Desharnais had two goals and an assist, and the Montreal Canadiens ended Detroit's seven-game winning streak with a 7-2 victory over the Red Wings on Wednesday night in the NHL's final game before the league's All-Star break. Alexei Emelin scored his first NHL goal, and Montreal scored four times in the opening period against Jimmy Howard, who will make his first All-Star game appearance on Sunday in Ottawa. The Canadiens put their first two shots of the second period past backup goalie Ty Conklin, who took over for Howard to begin the middle period. Rene Bourque, Max Pacioretty and Erik Cole each had a goal and an assist, and Tomas Plekanec also scored. Tomas Kaberle had two assists. Carey Price stopped 25 shots for Montreal, which moved into 11th place in the Eastern Conference with 47 points, one ahead of Tampa Bay.

Hi there!
As the title states, I would like to know if there is a ppa or something available for Elementary OS to get the latest releases even if the builds are unstable!
Do any of you can help me with this? I tried to find it with google, but I had no luck.
