Hey guys, it's me, the man of the hour and the man with the power and I'm here with my first ever Top 8, and its dedicated to one of my favourite wrestlers ever, Seth Freakin' Rollins! So let's get straight into this.
8. Payback Fatal 4 Way
Seth Rollins + Shield Brothers + Randy Orton = Awesome, great match. The Shield reunion was amazing and had everyone on the tip of their seats thinking it was happening. This match I really liked and enjoyed throughout the whole thing and I would be down for a rematch in the future. But this match was really cool and had amazing wrestling in it.
7. Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
Elimination Chamber 2015
These two men have a long history, as they worked together on the independent scene and made their way through the ranks of WWE at around the same time. Add the legacy of The Shield and the fact that Rollins turned his back on Ambrose, and these men have legitimate storyline beef. This match was first of their amazing rivalry in 2015, and this match didn't disappoint. It was a great match with close calls and had me on the edge of my seat. When Ambrose "won" at the end, my heart stopped for a second in exhilaration and anger that Rollins had just lost but also the fact that Ambrose had won. When they announced Rollins was still champion I was happy! But other than that, this match was great.
6. Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
Money In The Bank 2015
Again, these two have probably the greatest chemistry between two superstars in the last 10 years. They're just amazing paired up with each other and put on another killer of a match with this match! If there was a match to follow up from Owens/Cena, it was this match. This had everything from great spots, to great wrestling and an amazing ending! I definitely recommend any Ambrose/Rollins match to any wrestling fan.
5. Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins
Lumberjack Match, SummerSlam 2014
In my honest opinion, this match is probably the best lumberjack match of all time. It was absolutely chaotic and at one point, all the Lumberjacks just got in the ring and started fighting. But the wrestling between Ambrose & Rollins was absolutely amazing and set a new standard for the show by putting on this amazing match! Again, definitely recommend this.
4. Seth Rollins vs John Cena
Winner Takes All; SummerSlam 2015
Like Ambrose/Rollins, Cena/Rollins had awesome matches as well and great chemistry. This match revolutionized wrestling as it was and also was the heel turn of Jon Stewart which was awesome! The wrestling between these two as well can't be beaten, just amazing.
3. Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar vs Roman Reigns
WrestleMania 31
Although this match featured close to nothing of Rollins, this match was a defining moment in his career because he won the WWE WHC after cashing in his MITB, may I add that it was at WM as well, and it was a pretty damn good moment!
2. Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar vs John Cena
Royal Rumble 2015
Probably the best triple threat match of the PG Era, this match was amazing. It had Seth hit an amazing corkscrew, elbow drop Brock Lesnar through the announce table and although he was the one who got pinned, he came out of this match looking strong!
1. Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose
Hell In A Cell 2014
By far, the best extreme match of the "PG Era," this match was a spot fest. With spots like Dean Ambrose elbow dropping Seth through a table and throwing both men through announce tables, this match was- I can't even describe it!
Well, that was my first ever Top 8 and I'd love if you guys could give me some feedback and your thoughts on this! Peace and love from Australia, it's been a pleasure.

Breaking: Tibetan man burns self to death, Toll climbs to 89
[Thursday, November 29, 2012 14:58]
Tibetan self-immolator Tsering Namgyal, 31, who passed away in his fiery protest on November 29, 2012 seen here in an undated photo.
DHARAMSHALA, November 29: In fresh reports coming out of Tibet, a Tibetan man set himself on fire today in Luchu region of eastern Tibet in an apparent protest against China's continued occupation of Tibet.
Sources have identified the Tibetan as Tsering Namgyal, 31, a father of two, from Zamtsa Lotso Dewa region of Luchu.
"Tsering Namgyal set himself on fire near the local Chinese government office in Luchu earlier today for the cause of Tibet," Sonam, a Tibetan monk living in south India told Phayul, citing sources in the region. "Tsering Namgyal passed in his fiery protest."
Further details on the self-immolation protest are not available at the time of filing this report.
The burning body of Tibetan self-immolator Tsering Namgyal
Tsering Namgyal is survived by his wife Choekyong Tso, their two children, Dorjee Kyi, 7, and Kalsang Dolma, 3, and his parents.
This is the third self-immolation protest in Luchu region in the last ten days. On November 26,
Gonpo Tsering
, 24, father of three children, all below the age of six, passed away in his fiery protest while raising slogans for Tibet's freedom, human rights in Tibet, and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile. Earlier on November 22,
Tamding Kyab
, 23, a nomad and former monk, passed away in his self-immolation protest in the same region.
Following the self-immolations, Luchu has been placed under heightened restrictions with the deployment of a large number of Chinese security personnel and armed forces.
89 Tibetans inside Tibet have set themselves on fire demanding freedom and the return of His Holiness the Dalai Lama from exile since the wave of fiery protests began in 2009. The recent alarming escalation in the self-immolation protests has now witnessed 27 Tibetans set themselves on fire in the month of November alone.
Speaking to CNN, US Ambassador to China, Gary Locke in an interview broadcast on November 27, said the United States is "very concerned about the situation, the heightened tensions in the Tibetan areas, the deplorable self-immolations and of course just the Chinese policies of the Chinese government at all levels."
"Preserving the ethnic, religious, linguistic identity of the Tibetan people is a top priority for the U.S. government just as we are very concerned about all human rights issues and we believe that human rights has to be a fundamental part of U.S. foreign policy and we, very much urge the Chinese government publicly and privately to adhere to the universal principles, universal declaration of human rights, which are also part of the Chinese constitution," Locke said.
In September, Locke had visited two Tibetan monasteries in the Zungchu region of Ngaba in eastern Tibet as part of a broader business trip to the region.

Grand powertrain plan
The plug-in Panamera enhances Porsche's performance-first ambit, so expect more hybrids, says John Carey
THERE are consequences if you forget to recharge the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. Failing to plug in reduces the big Porsche hatchback's top speed. It will do 278km/h while the charge in its lithium-ion battery pack lasts. Without electric aid the car is 20km/h slower.
The difference between the top speeds of the plug-in petrolelectric Panamera highlights the performance boost delivered by Porsche's latest hybrid technology.
Get used to the idea, because Porsche is working on more such cars. In fact, plug-in hybrid technology is about to become a big part of the revered German brand's grand powertrain plan.
Porsche has had three plugin hybrid predecessors. The Panamera S E-Hybrid and Cayenne S E-Hybrid were built using bits and pieces designed by other brands also owned by the Volkswagen Group. Both used a supercharged Audi V6.
The third one was different. Launched about the same time as the others, the 918 Spyder of 2013 was a super-fast, ultraexotic and mega-expensive two-seater. Exactly 918 were built before production stopped in 2015.
The company's performance flagship, it was completely Porsche's own work and used electricity to do two things.
One of them, the ability to drive some way on battery power, was normal for a plug-in hybrid. But the battery pack could also, when needed, add a really hefty power boost to the output of the car's high-revving, mid-mounted V8.
This approach, so in tune with Porsche's performance first philosophy, has now been adopted for the new Panamera 4 E-Hybrid.
It will arrive in Australia in the third quarter of 2017, about six months after this month's introduction of the core models in the new, second-generation Panamera range.
The pricetag will be $242,600, or about $40,000 less than the first-generation Panamera S E-Hybrid .
The new 4 E-Hybrid is a big car, long, broad and heavy. The battery pack and electric motor push its weight up to well over two tonnes. But, with its internal-combustion engine and electric motor working together to deliver peak outputs of 340kW and 700Nm, it's also very lively. Porsche claims it can go from standstill to 100km/h in well under 5.0 seconds, quick in anyone's language.
A small rotary knob mounted on the elegant threespoke steering wheel switches between the four driving modes. In Sport and Sport Plus, the Porsche's twin-turbo 2.9litre V6 runs all the time.
These are the modes for sporty driving, as they also firm the suspension. In these modes, the Porsche makes all the right noises when spinning hard, while the electric motor adds a hefty shove at low revs. It's also surprisingly agile for such a bulky car.
In Hybrid Auto mode the engine stops and starts depending on gradient, speed and what the driver is doing with the accelerator pedal. The hybrid software aims for best energy efficiency, although the driver can override this strategy.
Using the new Panamera's big and bright central touchscreen, the driver can activate the E-Charge or EHold sub-modes. The first will use the engine to gradually recharge the battery, the second preserves whatever charge is already there.
The idea is to have the Porsche ready to enter a zone where internal combustion vehicle access is restricted or banned. These are becoming more common around the world and Porsche executives believe the trend will accelerate.
In E-Power mode the car runs only on electric power. Until the battery is flat, or the driver flattens the accelerator pedal, you won't hear the engine run — what you get is a faint engine-like noise generated by speakers inside the car.
There is a menu option to deactivate this feature off but it suits the way the car works. This hybrid shifts through the ratios of its eight-speed double-clutch auto when running on electricity, something few others do. Porsche claims a battery-only driving range of 25km-50km.
Low-speed acceleration is strong in E-Power. The Porsche has no trouble beating other traffic away from a red light. The electric motor's 100kW maximum power output isn't massive but its hefty 400Nm peak torque is delivered from 100rpm-2300rpm. That's not a misprint.
Porsche announced last year, when the second-gen Panamera was first revealed, that there will be two hybrid models. Executives and engineers at the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid's international launch in South Africa hinted that the second will feature the company's new V8.
This twin-turbo 4.0-litre packs a mighty powerful punch. With added electric boost potentially pushing power beyond 500kW, this will be the fastest Panamera of them all. It's likely to appear before the end of the year.
The Panamera and Cayenne always share powertrain technology, so it's logical to expect Porsche to head in the same direction with its popular SUV, due for a total redesign in two years or so.
Meanwhile, Porsche is preparing an assembly line in a factory just outside Stuttgart for another plug-in. The production version of the beautiful 2015 Mission-E concept will be purely batterypowered. Production is likely to begin in 2020.
Forget to plug this one in and its top speed will be zero.

Suburban Sprawl Adds Salt To Maple Ridge's Infrastructure Deficit Wounds
Series: Urban sprawl municipal budget impact
Apart from its commonly known costs, suburban sprawl is hitting municipal governments with hidden costs as a result of misguided policies.
In a growing city such as Maple Ridge, BC, leapfrogging suburban developments are adding more inventories to the city's asset base and making its infrastructure deficit worse than it already is.
A real life example is used to illustrate how the discipline of a business case analysis can and should be applied to determine the implications of a new development project to the finance of a municipality.
See how a blighted and run-down block built in a traditional pattern compars against a shiny and new auto-oriented block built for a drive-through fast food chain restaurant when it comes to tax revenues to the city.
Lured by no-money-down and an immediate boost in property tax revenue, a city often approves development projects which end up with negative returns down the road. This concept only becomes obvious after digging into the income and expenses over a lifecycle of a project.
In our previous article we presented how suburban sprawl is piling additional tax burdens onto existing residents who have to pay for the shortfall between what the municipal government gets from development cost charges (DCCs) and incremental property tax revenue and what it needs to pay to initially build, forever maintain and eventually replace the infrastructure which comes with the new development.
In this article we will frame this discussion numerically using the data from Maple Ridge, BC, a city of about 80,000 people on the eastern edge of the Metro Vancouver region. Within commuting distance from Vancouver (can be painful at times), it is one of Metro Vancouver's bedroom communities. The east side of the city is relatively undeveloped, and it is where new subdivisions within the urban boundary and, increasingly, leapfrogging new subdivisions beyond the urban boundary pop up.
State of Infrastructure Deficit In Maple Ridge
There are multiple definitions of infrastructure deficit. For the purpose of our discussion here, infrastructure deficit is defined as the difference between the funding needed for maintenance and replacement of existing infrastructure and the funding available from all sources, including taxes and grants.
Currently, the infrastructure items, including municipal roads, water/sewer lines, parks, fire hall, etc., which are listed as asset items on its balance sheet, total $1.7 billion. The cost to maintain that infrastructure when it was worth $1.3 billion in 2006 was $30 million a year, according to Paul Gill, GM of Corporate and Financial Services at City Hall.
Like humans, the healthcare cost of aging infrastructure does not go up in a linear fashion. One needs to spend a constant amount to maintain it in order to keep it under good health. Failing that, as in a deficit situation, the cost of repairing or replacing crumbling infrastructure is multiple times the regular maintenance amounts.
State of infrastructure over time (source: Canada's Looming Infrastructure Deficit)
It is a case of pay me $100 now, each and every day, or pay me megabucks later.
Megabucks as in this:
(credit: Canada's Looming Infrastructure Deficit)
Or this:
(credit: Canada's Looming Infrastructure Deficit)
Remember maintenance eats up about 80% of the entire life cycle cost of a piece of infrastructure. So the initial build-out costs, even if completely covered by DCC, constitute only a down payment.
So how has Maple Ridge been dealing with the infrastructure deficit? Is it setting aside $30 million annually to maintain its infrastructure? Nope, it has been spending roughly 1/10 the amount.
In order to address the growing deficit situation, the city introduced a 1% annual tax increase to close the gap in 2008. The hope is that, by increasing tax 1%, cumulatively, each and every year, and putting it into the Infrastructure Sustainability Fund, it will help close the gap by half by 2031.
Maple Ridge's plan to plug unfunded infrastructure deficit (source: Maple Ridge Financial Plan 2014-2018)
The increase amount was subsequently reduced to 0.5% in 2013. A round of applause went to the councilors who brought relief to the taxpayers. The downside of this dispensation is that the deficit gap will remain big. The city just managed to kick the can farther down the road.
Impact Of Sprawl On Infrastructure Deficit
Whereas much discussion and debates have been waged over whether taxpayers should be hit with an annual tax increase of 1% or 0.5%, another equally fundamental question which escapes more scrutiny than it deserves is the growth of the infrastructure asset base as a result of new development projects.
DCCs collected from new projects cover the costs of the initial build-out, but do not cover replacement costs or maintenance costs. And as the developer hands over the key to the city, the project adds yet another chunk of
assets liabilities to the overall infrastructure inventory. Such infrastructure additions are especially problematic in leapfrogging subdivisions as more brand spanking new infrastructure needs to be added. In Maple Ridge's 2014 Financial Plan, Laura Benson, Manager of Sustainability and Corporate Planning, sums up the issues faced by the city:
".. subdivision infrastructure turned over by developers becomes the responsibility of the District and over time contributes significantly to the infrastructure inventory. In 2004 it was almost $10 million and in 2005 it was another $26 million. Where do we get the money to sustain an asset base that is growing at this pace?"
The Business Case For A New Development Project
So leaving aside any other second order costs and benefits, the math is fairly basic. On the one side you receive DCC and incremental tax revenue. On the other you need to pay to provide additional services and maintain, and eventually replace, additional infrastructure. If the expenses exceed revenues then it is a negative investment.
It is not to say that all new projects will end up net negative to the city, but based on those municipalities who were curious and checked, the results do not look good. From our previous article here's a recap of what they found:
- Greater Golden Horseshoe, Ontario – Municipalities don't collect enough money through development charges to cover the full cost of building the infrastructure needed to service new developments, leaving existing taxpayers on the hook for up to 39% of the costs.
- Edmonton – The city realizes that the costs of new subdivisions are exceeding revenue it collects from these developments. Across just 17 of the more than 40 new developments underway or planned, net costs have been projected to exceed revenues by nearly $4 billion over 60 years.
- Region of Peel, Ontario – "Staff has given us all kinds of financial statements proving that development is not paying its way," said Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion. "The facts are on the books. We are going into debt in a big way in the Region of Peel."
- Calgary – A similar study concluded that the denser pattern would use 25% less land and would be 33% less expensive to build, resulting in a savings to the city of more than $11 billion in capital costs alone.
Cost-benefit analyses are so fundamental in Business 101 that it would be shocking if they are not carried out as part of the new development approval process.

IM playing with the idea of having platforms on 2 different layers with paralax. one has layer fx of a blur.
the idea is when the character jumps to the back paralaxed layer he becomes blurred too.
it looks cool, but when i jumps there is some kind of positioning problem...i guess because the platform at back has a slighty different positioning due to paralax.
so i need to find a way to offset his position when he goes back so that his position doesnt get offset
I know i could solve this just adding an FX ot the character and turn it on and off but would be good to know how to do it properly...maybe using layertoCanvas or canvas to layer is a solution but need more info on what are the right properties to tweak
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Maybe you can test the following things:
on player overlapping "spritetestback" at offset x ---> (action) move object (player) to layer "fx"
else ---> (action) move object (player) to layer "origin"

From the MME, initiate a location request, and verify that the E-SMLC acknowledges the message from the MME, correctly processes the information, transferring the correct location information back to the MME. Verify that your E-SMLC correctly interrogates the EUTRAN for the location of the specified User Equipment (UE). dsTest provides more tools for Location Services EPC compliance testing.
Developing Solutions' LCS solution includes the following interfaces/protocols in the EPC:
- SLs between the MME (client) and E-SMLC (server)
- Diameter-based SLg between MME (client) and the GMLC (server)
- Diameter-based SLh between the GMLC (client) and HSS (server)
- LTE Positioning Protocol (LPP)
- LTE Positioning Protocol Annex (LPPa)
For the SLs interface, the following procedures are available:
- Location Request (MME –>E-SMLC)
- Location Estimate Response (E-SMLC –> MME)
- Provide Location Request (E-SMLC –> MME)
- Reset Request
- LPP Provide Capabilities
- LPP Request Assistance
- LPP Provide Location
- LPPa Request Location
- LPPa OTDOA Location Request
- LPP Request Capabilites
- LPP Provide Assistance
- LPP Request Location

Getting the Details on Digital
Reprinted from RSES Journal
By Carter Stanfield, CM. Original publication date July 2011.
The digital gauges used by today's HVACR service professionals are a far cry from what was employed by many in the industry even 10 years ago. But knowing the nuances of these instruments is critical to maximizing their performance.
When the first digital gauges were introduced to the HVACR marketplace, only the air-conditioning techno-geeks and tool hounds had them. However, as technology has continued to improve and the cost of digital equipment has been reduced, the use of digital gauges and other testing equipment has grown exponentially. Today, many companies that traditionally only made gauge-manifold sets now have a digital offering—at least four companies that are well-known for manufacturing traditional analog gauges now have digital gauges available to the HVACR service professional. Even companies that traditionally have focused solely on electronic test equipment, not gauge manifolds, now are offering digital gauge-manifold sets.
However, with all of this technology also comes the need for instruction and understanding on how to utilize it. A tool is only as good as the individual who holds it in their hand. Knowing the differences between some of the digital gauges and testing equipment out there—and how to employ them correctly on the job—is critical to both properly installing or servicing equipment and maximizing the efficiency of the gauges/analyzers.
Making an Analysis
Many digital gauges and related equipment are billed as digital system analyzers because they do more than read pressure. These products also show the saturation temperature for most common refrigerants and have a place to plug in a thermocouple temperature probe for reading line temperatures. These gauges can calculate superheat and subcooling because they have both pieces of necessary information: the refrigerant saturation temperature and the actual refrigerant temperature. Some analyzers are available with two temperature probes. Using the appropriate high and low pressures, along with their respective temperatures, will allow for simultaneous display of both superheat and subcooling in real time. One digital-gauge set will even calculate a target superheat for a fixed restriction system based on the indoor wet-bulb and outdoor ambient temperatures. There are several digital analyzers that also will read vacuum in microns, doubling as a deep vacuum gauge.
The prices of digital-gauge sets are coming down, and some in the industry expect digital-gauge sets will be in the same price range as good-quality analog Bourdon-tube gauge sets within five years. As was noted earlier, this drop in prices and the increased offerings with these sets have more and more technicians thinking about digital gauges—many of whom would not have considered them just a few years ago.
Accurate Assessments
The strongest argument for digital gauges is accuracy. Accuracy is becoming increasingly important as system operating efficiency becomes more critical in daily operation. Tools that can make precise, accurate measurements are necessary if technicians are going to ensure equipment is performing to the manufacturer's specifications.
Many Bourdon-tube refrigeration gauges are class B, 3-2-3 gauges. This means that they can be 3% off at the bottom and top of their range, and 2% off in the middle of their range. While 3% may not sound like much, that works out to 10.5 psig on a compound gauge with a range of 350 psig. On an R-22 medium-temperature refrigeration system, a difference of 10 psig suction pressure can be the difference between working and not working.
The best Bourdon-tube refrigeration gauges available are class 1A; they have a full-scale accuracy of 1%. For a compound gauge with a maximum usable reading of 350 psig, that is 3.5 psig of error. Conversely, the typical accuracy for digital gauges is 0.5% of full scale—1.75 psig of error on a gauge that reads up to 350 psig. However, digital gauges range in accuracy from 0.35% full scale to 1% of full scale. The accuracy of a digital gauge can vary with temperature. A temperature-compensated digital gauge will have an accuracy that remains stable through a wider operating temperature range.
But percentage of full-scale accuracy is only part of the story. Display resolution is just as important. Most digital gauges have a resolution of 0.1 psi. They can display pressures through their entire range in increments of 0.1 psi. The best 3-1/8-in. analog gauges designed for use with R-410A equipment use increments of 5 psi, while smaller R-410A gauges have increments of 10 psi. Even if the analog and digital gauges have exactly the same accuracy, the analog gauges cannot show the difference between two readings that vary by just a few psi—but digital gauges can show differences of 0.1 psi.
However, with that improvement in accuracy also comes the need for proper care of the equipment. Because digital devices rely on electronics and sensors to provide accurate readings, service professionals must make a point to regularly calibrate their gauges. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for how to service and maintain gauges, including how often gauges should be recalibrated.
Features and Functionality
Today's digital system analyzers offer a wide range of features— which not surprisingly often correspond to the accompanying price tag of the instrument. For example, one manufacturer offers digital manifold sets that range from around $300–$1,800, depending on the features selected.
It is important to consider what features are really important versus those that might simply be "nice to have." If a feature can save time or make the technician more productive, it is worth paying for. On the other hand, having features that never will be used may just add unjustifiable cost to the end user.
One increasingly popular feature is the addition of a micron vacuum gauge to the manifold. This has the advantage of convenience and reduces hose connections. It also can save the cost of a separate vacuum gauge. One thing to consider is whether it is necessary to have the vacuum gauge in the manifold—especially since there can be quite a difference in reading at "unit" versus at the manifold itself. A vacuum reading at the unit will be more accurate because it is reading the vacuum of the unit, not the vacuum that the vacuum pump produces. For sets with a built-in vacuum sensor, make sure it can be isolated from the rest of the manifold to protect the vacuum sensor.
Another very interesting feature is data logging. Some digital analyzers can capture pressure and temperature data, and download it to a computer. This is a valuable tool if the technician is looking to benchmark a system over time, or perhaps is seeking evidence of a problem so that they can present it to the building owner when suggesting an equipment change or upgrade. However, if this is an unlikely scenario based on applications and typical workload, the tech may not want to pay for it.
Making a Choice
It is of critical importance when choosing a digital-gauge set that the HVACR professional check the specifications of the gauges. In particular, look to see what type of full-scale accuracy the gauge offers and at what temperature. Also remember to seek out a set that is temperature compensated.
Remember too that when looking at digital-gauge manifold sets, the purchase is that of a manifold, not just a set of gauges. Sets that are paired with better manifolds cost more, as is the case with analog-gauge sets. There are digital- gauge sets packaged with two-valve, 1/4-in. bore manifolds. Think about the purchase, and ask if the technological investment being made should be tied to a manifold that the technician would never consider using if it were independent of the digital gauges.
There are companies that sell digital analyzers without the manifold. This allows the technician to put the analyzer of choice on the manifold. But while this can be the most satisfying, it usually is the most expensive way to go. However, this higher cost also means that techs get exactly what they want. Most of the sets billed as system analyzers have the ability to read temperature. Some use standard type-K thermocouple probes, while others use temperature probes with proprietary ends. These work fine, but they limit use to just temperature clamps and probes from that one company. Again, the tech has to weigh this against having the option to use a standard type-K thermocouple temperature probe from any manufacturer—and what the cost of having that flexibility will be.
Caveats and Reminders
There are some very inexpensive digital-gauge manifolds advertised online that are intended specifically for automobiles and/or R-134a. They will not work on systems that use other types of refrigerant—especially R-410A. Today's service professional really should not consider investing in a high-tech tool that will not work with R-410A. Its widespread use and adoption by the industry at large means that HVACR contractors and technicians will find themselves working with it more and more in the future.
Some gauges use sensors that are protected from the refrigerant and oil, while others have the sensors exposed to the system refrigerant. A dose of acidic refrigerant could take out those sensors, so it is important to find out exactly what is covered by the manufacturer's warranty (better units have at least a two-year warranty).
And as was noted at the beginning of this feature, remember that owning a digital system analyzer does not make a service contractor or technician any smarter. While these digital devices can make a job easier to complete, it requires a skilled operator who understands the fundamentals of heat transfer to maximize their use. A digital system analyzer is a precision tool and, like any tool, a skilled craftsman is needed to achieve great results.
