Yesterday, Friday May 3rd, 2013, nine Bates College students from the Bates Environmental Action Movement (BEAM) met with six members of the Board of Trustees to discuss Divestment. We had high hopes for this meeting and created an agenda that would show these trustees why divestment was an urgent matter and the need for Bates College to be a leader in this movement.
If you're in Washington, DC on April 21st, join the SSC and the Sierra Club at the 2013 Broccoli City Fest! This year's fest will feature over 15 live acts including headliner Big Krit, tons of vendors, yoga and zumba instructions, and live art!

After three years working in the Crossroads of America I have made my way up to the Land of 10,000 Lakes. As someone who is new to Minnesota there is a bit of a learning curve for me when it comes to working in a new state. I'm not new to the youth climate movement however and I know that when opportunity knocks, you answer. Right now in Minnesota, opportunity is knocking hard.
Yesterday was truly incredible — starting with the inspring Youth Convergence where 500+ young people gathered to continue building this movement and talk about the incredible work students are doing to push their colleges to divest from fossil fuels and move to 100% clean energy — and ending with the 50,000 strong #ForwardOnClimate rally, the largest rally in US history calling for climate action!
We'd love to hear from those of you who were at the rally or the convergence, so please share your experience on the blog! In the meantime, we wanted to share some of our favorite photos of the day.

This morning I was arrested in front of the White House.
I sat down and got arrested to show that we are determined to see President Obama take decisive action on climate change by rejecting the Keystone XL pipeline.
As one of the youth leaders participating in this demonstration, today I stood for our generation.
Never before have the stakes been higher to take action on climate change. In 2012, extreme weather events took a harrowing toll on people across the United States and the world. If we fail to take action, millions of people around the world will suffer. There simply is not an option to sit on the sidelines and let this moment pass.
On Tuesday, more than 4,200 students at UNC Chapel Hill demonstrated overwhelming support for divesting the university's $2.1 billion endowment from the dirty coal industry. The referendum passed by a huge margin with 77% of UNC students voting in favor of coal divestment.
The campaign has gathered endorsements from The Daily Tar Heel, Campus Y, Sierra Student Coalition, Roosevelt Institute, UNC Young Democrats, UNC Residence Hall Association and Student Power UNC and all five student body president candidates. The weeks leading up to the election proved how powerful and important it is to build broad support and meaningful coalition partners across campus to get things done.

The actual chandelier itself is really cute, however, it is not in the least what i would call copperor even bronze. It is black with red streaking on it that i assume are supposed to make it appear somewhat copper, but it does not. I was really disappointed, b/c it looks so cute in the pic. If you are ok with it being black with some streaking, then go for. Other than the color, it does look just like the pic
I compared this to other similar fixtures I found online and this one had two benefits - more crystals and I liked that the candlesticks were dark instead of a cream color to resemble candles. As others reviewed - the crystals take a little time to install, but connecting them is easy. One large crystal was chipped but I quickly replaced it with one of the spares included. (Package of spares included 2 large, 4 small, and several extra clips for the crystals). Finish is not antique copper, but is black with a few copper streaks. I dry brushed the entire fixture with a smalll artist brush with copper metallic acrylic paint (the kind you buy in craft stores). The key is DRY brushing in light layers and taking your time, and then going back over the fixture with a fine sandpaper if paint appears to heavy in any sections. Very happy with this result as it ended up looking like what I would expect of an antique copper finish. I think you could do this with any color metallic to get the look you want.. I took the advice from another review and added the bottom four crystals after installation to give us a place to hold the fixture while installing - good idea. Some reviewers remarked that the fixture looked lopsided. My guess is that they did not adjust the fixture properly - you need to center the three arms with the lights, between the three fixed sections of the fixture - if you don't do this - it will appear lopsided. If you stand directly underneath the fixture - this will be easy to see and adjust. Also, it helps to make sure the leaves are bent to the same height so the crystals hang evenly off them. Overall I'm very happy with the purchase, but gave it a 4 instead of a 5 since I had to adjust the finish (if you are willing to take the time - it's worth it.)
There is one thing that is tricky about this fixture. You have to hang it the right way, or it can look lopsided, because there are only three branches. You also have to take your time, be patient, and I found it helpful to use some needle-nose pliers to really secure the crystals...otherwise they come off easily as you hang or handle it. The metal hangers on each crystal is a bit cheap and soft...but once you assemble and hang it, you would never know. It is very nice to add real elegance to a bedroom or bath. Just make sure you look at it from all angles before you decide how to hang...it looks different from each angle. Hey...it's a really affordable way to put a chandelier up. No one can examine it that closely as it hangs...and it looks pretty darn substantial and classic...with the cool black metal. FYI, the crystals are nice and heavy glass, not plastic or fake. People walk in and say..."wow...elegant" and we just say "thanks".
This is a very cute little chandelier and for the size has quite a few large crystal prisms. I bought this to hang in over my garden tub and this is perfect for this application. As opposed to some of the reviews, mine was a dark copper patina which is what I wanted to go with my oil rubbed bronze bath faucets, new lights and towel bars so this was perfect. My only complaint is that the little silver metal "hooks" look a little cheaper than the rest of the chandelier and are quite thin but they did provide me with many extras just in case these broke. Just a hint ...start hanging the prisms from the top down but stop before you do theose at the very bottom. This will allow you to hold the fixture at the bottom when hanging it. Once hung then put on the remaining prisms. If you put these on before you hang the fixture, they may get knocked off and break.
Beautiful chandeliers! I purchased two of these chandeliers for my newly designed closet and they are stunning! They put the finishing touches my closet needed. The quality is very good. Would recommend this chandelier to place anywhere in your home you want to add a touch of elegance. Lots of crystals.
I open the box and could not believe how pretty it looks. Was very easy to put the crystal together. Hung it on the ceiling and it is elegant as I was hoping.. The quality is super as a very expensive ! I will recommend it ...I got 2 for the bathroom and getting 2 more for the other bathrooms.. Happy as can be..It is perfecto for small area I used it above the sinks. and makes the bathroom very elegant.. special when it reflects the mirror....
If you love sparkle this is it, the chandelier has over 30 crystals, or what looks like crystal.
very satisfied. compared to other chandeliers. the product is worth it for the price. i like that there are no shades.
I hung this in a small, 5ft by 8 ft, guest bath and the size was perfect and it looks great. However, I used it to replace a light that had 4 bulbs pointing down. This light has 3 bulbs pointing up so bath seems a little darker now. Not as much light as I would like around mirror for applying makeup, shaving etc. I think going from 4 to 3 light bulbs would have been ok if bulbs were pointing down, This is something to consider if you are replacing an existing light. All in all, I am pleased with this light and think it is a great bargin!
This item arrived and was nice but just did not go with the decor of the room I was decorating. But it was so easy to return and quickly credited back to my account. I was pleasantly suprised.

Iron Arm is coming from S.Korea full of dedication
Jul 6th, 2010Read This amazing Story of dedication, courage, love and passion for the sport "Iron Arm" is coming to the United States....
7/10 Blog - Both elbows are in minor pain if stretching my arms. No Armwrestling training. Need to sleep…right now…to speed up the recovery even if little.I can't afford quality and proper amount of food right now. But what I feed on is my friend's encouraging message, my big brother's heart-warming call, so to say their love. Thus, I am full of energy even if my stomach may not be full.
7/2 Blog - IronArm will go to Venice Beach, California, on July/24th in order to compete in the UAL's Armwrestling Championships. I am going to compete in pro light weight class (0-155lb, left arm). It was a very hard decision for me because my summer school ends on July/22nd, and plus, the airfare is pretty expensive during this peak season. Actually, monetary issue was the reason why I decided to compete in Pro-class although I am more eligible to belong to novice or amateur class. I know I only have a slim chance to earn cash prize taking top 4. However, I do believe that doing my best on which I have a true passion will always pay off whether or not I achieve my goal. Wish me good luck!

Surviving a M.O.A.B. with Final Stand
Like (2)
Final Stand should not give immunity to explosive damage, or insta-kill things like knives while falling into it. I got a MOAB on Village earlier and was shooting a guy as it was rolling in. He falls into Final Stand and just eats my MOAB. Takes no damage from it whatsoever. And to make things worse, he kills me while i'm reloading. I only died once that match, and it was from some Final Stand faggotry. I'm gonna go take my anger out on a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich.
Dumbest deathstreak tied with Dead Man's Hand
I death only? Chill bro you're doing OK
It's not even about the death, it's that I died to a guy who went like 6-30 that game, and he killed me while in Final Stand, after he ate my MOAB like a baconator.
Yeh I get it but hey.....give te poor bugger one kill.....It only...one even if he had to use the biotch death streaks...noob gotta have a chance ..what?
No, he has to earn it. And me dying by him after he lives through MY MOAB makes me look like a dumbass. I'm going to send the video to Robert Loling, and demand that he apologize for basically sodomizing me with a Boba Fett action figure.
Fair enough....beautiful come back lmfao with the baba fett comment....love the wit. Goes down well with the red I'm drinking...thanks for the convo and the lols....enjoy your evening....if in SEA and if in US Or UK I think it enjoy you day....either way..peace ;)
Frustrating, right? I completely agree. I hate how when they are falling you can't shoot them. It eats your ammo, and I have died alot reloading when there are multiple enemies and one goes into final stand.
Dead mans hand is ridiculous too. You could spin in circles the entire game and still get kills, does that seem right?
Deathstreaks are just saying, 'Yo, you suck so bad, the game needs to help you out to such an extent that some may find it as God-mode'. Fvck that, dude.
Last stand and dead man's hand actually punish the person who got the kill. You should never be punished for killing somebody. Flawed logic is flawed.
banning death streak = more quitting from lobby = no oppostion = being dropped into lobbies all over = NO MOAB
im all for this
be careful what you ask for you might just get it
100% Related...
GG Final Stand
I do agree with this, but we all know it wont be taken out. Even though I know it's going to stay in they should at least change who gets the points for the actual kill. The person who brought the noob into final stand should get the kill and the guy who finished him off should get the assist. Just my opinion though.
You'd think a MOAB would have the same affect as a Headshot...
You were robbed man...
Same for that Pred...
I posted the video above.
Shouldn't have shot him.
Doesn't matter, he shouldn't have lived through an insta-kill.
He shouldn't have, but this is MW3 we're talking about. I hate the invincibility they have when they drop to final stand.
Heres my video of me dopping a predator in a guys lap...crab walks away.
i was talking about final to my friends a while back and i said how stupid it was for IW to put it back in this game when they should have taken it out. they said it wasnt that bad and wasnt as consistant as last stand. that may be true but these videos are a good example of the BS that comes with an enemy having final stand.
and after watching those videos, i started thinking about all those times when i had a stealth bomber and got hitmarkers with it. now i am starting to think that this same thing happened with my bomber but i never knew about it.
And this, amici, is a huge reason I only run the Specialist package: noob buffers have rendered them useless.
Back OT, I definitely think Final Stand and Dead Man's hand should be removed. I dunno bout Hollow Points or Juiced, tho, because first, the guy actually has to use his gun and it only affects one person, and two, Juiced only lasts for 7 seconds and usually gets the scrub killed again. Others are complete noob garbage.
final stand all powerful as always
All I can say is...
I found it funny really, and allready knew it could this. There are other videos out there showing this same sort of thing happening.
I will protect you from the first ims round, from an ac-130 main round, a reaper drone missle, a javelin. Basicly it will stop you from deing from any other attack when you drop in to it and it should, otherwise it is useless to have in the game.
thats acually the funniest thing i have ever seen thanks for sharing omg lolz
Please nerf Last stand and Dead man hand! Nah but seriously that sucks tho. You should of doubled up with the MOABs and i like the turn and spray.
Whoa, that does suck.
Final Stand I wouldn't mind seeing be removed, or at least dumbed down to where the player isn't invincible for a second or two.
I disagree however about Dead Man's Hand. I use it on Domination when I play random because too often, I am in the minority of capping flags. This means I am solo on a flag, so sometimes, when an enemy or two starts hoofing it towards the flag to kill me, it comes in handy. Would I complain if it was removed? No, but if it's in there I am going to use it for Domination.
Dead Man's Hand should be toned down. If it was oly as strong as a normal C4, it'd be fine.
Exactly. It shouldn't take out as many people as it does. Make it good for a smaller proximity, which is certainly what I use it for.
Aero, I would take your video with the explanation of what happened and send that ****** right to IW/SH's studio head, and say "Dude, really?
Deathstreaks like Juiced, Revenge, and Hollow Point. Cool. The other three from earlier games along with DMH. No...They've got to go. But they won't. They don't listen to us.
It's supposedly there to balance the really good gamer and the gamer who gets whupped on, gets something for their highlight reel. Dumb.

Carolina was among the first women served by Five Talents' partner in Tanzania, the Mama Bahati Foundation (MBF). She now owns a soap-making business.
Hotmian's story begins with a failure. But as with many successful entrepreneurs, the failure merely gave her an opportunity to succeed.
"I can pay for school fees so my children can go to school. ...I won't keep any at home because I was kept at home and I don't want that." Leonie, third from the right in the middle row, Burundi
Selvi was too shy to join a Self-Help Group in her Indian village after the 2004 tsunami. Now, she is a group leader. "I have confidence. Now, I want to continue to help my village."
"Because of my loan group, my family is more united, and I have gained confidence and feel more secure." Matilde Mayhua, Peru
"I don't know what would have happened if this program hadn't come. I wasn't able to buy enough food for my sons. Now, I am able to support them." Natalana Ahok, Sudan
"I pray daily that the almighty God would guide me in all that I do, so that I can help my community and my family." Sarah, Sudan
Here's an example of a micro-enterprise that has matured and expanded beyond what is sometimes called a "survival business." This stand in Iringa, Tanzania, is owned by a woman named Hamida and offers everything from soda pop to fresh fruit and vegetables.
Five Talents' micro-enterprise development project in Tanzania serves only women and offers both microcredit and microsavings services. Our partners in the country are the Mama Bahati Foundation (MBF) and the Anglican Diocese of Ruaha.
Iringa, meanwhile, is a town in central Tanzania with a population of approximately 115,000 people, many of whom rely on small enterprises like this one to provide an income for themselves and their families.
Perhaps you already have 5 books on your must-read list for 2013. Or maybe you have more like 50. Either way, we hope you'll read at least a couple of the following picks over the next 12 months. We're recommending titles that approach poverty from a variety of perspectives. Whether you are a development specialist or someone who simply loves a good story, we have you covered.
The Dragon's GiftIf you're interested in Africa and would like to learn more about the aid and investments that are flowing into the continent, then Deborah Brautigam's The Dragon's Gift is a must-read. The author has spent decades studying China's investment and aid packages to African governments. Besides offering a timely and ground-breaking analysis of China's activity on the continent, Brautigam also provides context so that we can understand how China's approach to aid and investment differs from that of the United States and other Western nations. For a great review of the book, click here.
Where China Meets IndiaIf you'd like to learn more about one of the countries where Five Talents works, we recommend this book about Myanmar (Burma). Last year, the Burmese government made news by launching a series of reforms, including a loosening of media controls and an embrace of democratic elections. What was once one of the most closed societies in the world was suddenly opening its doors to the West and inviting investment to help spur development. Where China Meets India, by Thant Myint-U, is an engrossing travelogue that shows just how fast Myanmar is changing.
A Free ManIf you want to read a profile of an individual who is struggling to escape a world of poverty, look no further than Aman Sethi's A Free Man. The author, a correspondent for The Hindu, focuses his non-fiction narrative on the life of a homeless day-laborer in Delhi, India. The fast-paced story takes the reader into a world that few of us in the West have ever seen. Esther Duflo, co-author of Poor Economics (another great book that we have written about), calls Sethi's book "a beautiful work of journalism," adding: "What starts as classic ethnography becomes a gripping story, and ends as a homage to a lost friend."
Through the Eye of a NeedleIf you enjoy history and would like to learn more about the early church and Christians' view of wealth and poverty, read Peter Brown's acclaimed Through the Eye of a Needle: Wealth, the Fall of Rome, and the Making of Christianity in the West, 350-550 AD. Brown, a respected historian, excels at evoking the life of the ancients through colorful prose and through profound readings of saints like Ambrose, Augustine and Jerome. As Christianity Today puts it, Brown lets us "hear the heartbeat of late Roman and early Christian civilization."
When Helping HurtsIf you'd like to learn about how the Christian church has helped – and hurt – the cause of the impoverished around the world, then pick up Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert's When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor...and Yourself. The book was re-released in 2012 with a new foreword and two new chapters. Readers interested in learning more about the philosophy that informs Five Talents' approach to micro-enterprise development will find this book particularly helpful.
We recently blogged about Carolina, who runs two micro-enterprises in Tanzania. Here, she's working at her poultry enterprise, which produces about 30 eggs per day. She also runs a soap-making business that targets the university student population in her community of Iringa.
Carolina is in her 4th loan cycle, and her most recent loan of 200,000 Tsh ($125) was used to improve the cleaning process for her poultry project.
We're excited to share with you our 2011-2012 Annual Report for the fiscal year running from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Click here to download the PDF.
In the report, you'll find all of the latest financial figures and program statistics, as well as stories, photos and highlights from every one of Five Talents' programs.
The report also features beautiful illustrations from one of our volunteers, Laura Bauder. So a great big thank-you to Laura, who also took on the task of designing the report.
In this photo, Hidaya is preparing the legumes that she uses for her pastry business in Tanzania. She sells her pasties at a nearby school and to others in her community. Before joining a savings and loan group with Five Talents' partner, the Mama Bahati Foundation, Hidaya could not afford to buy the legumes in bulk. Now, with the help of a loan, she is able to buy her ingredients in bulk and, thus, save money and increase her profit margin.
In this photo, Carolina in Tanzania works with her assistant to make a batch of soap, which she packages and markets to university students who live in her community in Iringa. The nearest university is just a few kilometers away.
Carolina also has a poultry micro-enterprise, for which her 32 hens produce approximately 30 eggs per day.
She is in her 4th loan cycle, and her most recent loan of 200,000 Tsh ($125) was used to improve the cleaning process for her poultry project.
Editor's note: Several members of our UK team, including the author of this post, Mahoo Lyimo, just returned from a program visit in Tanzania. They brought back some incredible stories about the women Five Talents and its partner, the Mama Bahati Foundation (MBF), are serving in the country. Here is one such story. For more on our Tanzania program, click here.
Carolina was among the first women served by Five Talents' partner in Iringa, Tanzania, the Mama Bahati Foundation (MBF). She attended the first training session conducted by Five Talents back in 2006.
Initially, she did not take out a loan because she was already paying off one from another provider. Following the death of her husband in 2009, however, she decided to join MBF because she required a more manageable loan. Previously, she had been a housewife; now she needed to support her two children.
Carolina has since developed two main businesses. For one, she keeps poultry. Presently, she has 32 hens and 4 roosters. They produce approximately 30 eggs per day, which she sells locally. More recently, she has also started a liquid soap business. She makes the soap in her house (approximately 10 liters per batch), packages it and then moves around her local area selling it.
Carolina has also managed to make some additional income by renting part of her house to two families.
Most importantly, she has witnessed a growth in profits in both businesses – especially with the soap. She has been targeting the large student population who live within the local community (a university is 5 km away). Carolina also employs a helper to assist her with her businesses.
Carolina is in her 4th loan cycle, and her most recent loan of 200,000 Tsh ($125) was used to improve the cleaning process for her poultry project. She now feels that she is producing more nutritious eggs.
She used one of her previous loans to purchase a sewing kit, which she used to produce and sell furniture coverings.
Since joining Five Talents' local partner MBF, Carolina has learned to think on a much larger scale in terms of what she is capable of doing. She has also been able to share her experiences and lessons learned with the members in her savings and loan group. Lastly, she has been able to track improvements in her living standards.
Entrepreneur Stan Kriz has set up five or six businesses in his time, but he almost certainly has never faced a challenge quite like this one: training Burmese church leaders, housewives and farmers to set up their own micro-enterprises.
Myanmar, a country of 60 million, is in the early stages of opening its doors to political reform, which will help its economy begin to mirror those of other developing Asian nations. Currently, about 15 million Burmese are living on less than $1.25 a day.
Five Talents has been invited by the Anglican archbishop in Myanmar, Stephen Oo, to set up a network of business training seminars that can help locals find new ways to provide for themselves and create a sustainable living.
During the recent July trip, the Five Talents team was asked to give advanced training to church and community leaders who would in turn train local parishioners on how to come up with a business plan.
"It was our goal to train a dozen people who were church employees ... so that these dozen people would themselves take ownership of the curriculum, practice it, and go out and present it with us so that we knew they had actually captured it," said Kriz, who authored the training curriculum that Five Talents uses in the field.
The team encouraged the trainers to take ownership of the curriculum. For example, in one activity, they asked each group to identify an example story that did not quite fit within their culture and replace it with one that did.
Editor's note: We've asked guest blogger Chad Jordan, founder and chief consultant at Cornerstone International, to write about a topic that is close to his heart – and ours: building the capacity of locals so they can lift themselves out of poverty. Chad, who has a book coming out on August 8, shares Five Talents' vision for empowering women and men so that they can create a sustainable living for themselves and their families.
I have a secret. It's sort of hard to admit: Empowering the underserved isn't...about me. There, I said it. Development and poverty eradication strategies aren't about us in the West – at least they shouldn't be.
The goal of empowering the under-served should be to build local capacity and encourage local solutions to local problems. Western actors shouldn't be in the driver's seat.
Let me tell you a quick story. I helped set up a microfinance bank in Tanzania. I drafted the mission statement in conjunction with local leaders, we met with lawyers to obtain a banking license, we sat in meetings to determine the bank's direction, and I drafted an English version of the business training materials that would later be translated into Swahili.
It was a very collaborative atmosphere. We all worked together, we all participated, and we all got on the same page. I knew what my role was – it was to share the knowledge I had of what worked and what did not work in other places. I was there as a strategic advisor. Things went very smoothly.

Cornerstone of Hope exists because, in this life, the unthinkable sometimes happens. A child dies before his parents. A husband or wife dies, leaving their spouse and children at a loss for how to go on living. A student dies, leaving a school reeling over the shock and sorrow.

Location: tahlequah, ok
Satisfaction Rating:
I like to maintain everything that I own myself. My Lennox units require a special filter sold locally only by Lennox. After years of purchasing filters at the Lennox parts store, they will no longer sell them to me because I am not a licensed hvac contractor. They suggest that I pay seventy dollars per filter thru one of their authorized hvac contractors or purchase them on line, after market for twenty five dollars. I wonder what would happen if a major auto maker required you to be a licensed mechanic to purchase an oil or air filter for the car you purchased from them?

"Lennox XC-14 Air Conditioner"
This unit was installed two years ago. It's never worked right. The utility bill for electric is 40% higher than the old unit - It was 25 years old. It also doesn't remove the humidity from the air and has caused the carpeting to buckle in the house. Now the service company that installed the unit wants me to replace the low side service port condenser and fill it back up with freon. The unit is two years old!!!! Both Lennox and "Service Experts" of Overland Park, ks should be ashamed of themselves.

"Lennox 16 seer compressor"
Our old Coleman condensor crapped out after 20 years of service. This central a/c system cooled our upper floor. The Lennox tech came out to service the old Coleman and recommended we change out the Coleman condenser with a high energy Lennox condenser. After said and done, we did not have a high efficency Lennox condenser compatible with the old Coleman air handler. WHY? We later found out that the old Coleman was not compatible with the new Lennox. Word of caution to anyone with Central A/C system over 15 years old crapping out. Whenever in doubt, Go to Amana Technical support when changing over Cental A/C. If not for our Amana tech we would not have known it was time to cash in and have a total change out with our entire system. We picked the new Amana ASX18 high efficency 18 Seer Air Conditioner with air handler in our home. Thanks Amana. Your have the honest and Best Techs.

"XP-15-036 Lennox heat pump"
The worst product I have ever bought. It breaks down twice per year starting the first year of purchase. When I call for service "air fortier" company, they charge for everything they do. I do not understand what type of warranty it comes with. My advice is to never buy from Lennox products. Ihab

"Outdoor fan broke down in three years out of ten years warranty, Dealer denying warranty"
I don't have a problem with the previous ac I upgraded my furnace to high efficiency and decided to do the same thing with my ac thinking Lennox is a great product with good dealers selling the product but I was wrong. My ac out door fan broke down only 3 years out of ten year warranty dealer denied warranty asking me to pay for the part $420.00 + 111.00 diagnostic test plus labor $220.00 and kept ditching me to instillation time too much stress,its going on Wednesday evening until Friday evening. Company finally honor only warranty in parts but I still have to pay the rest. Hope its not going to break again.

"No AC again!"
In 2009 we replaced our old ac unit that was working but older. In 2010 the dealer replaced the outside part under warrantee. The unit was not working. Now in 2012 the outside unit is not working again. We never had a problem with the old unit. But this one... We use ac very little a few weeks a year.
Location: Bowling Green KY
Satisfaction Rating:
"Very poor"
We moved from the desert to Kentucky. We rarely had any issues with our AC in those high desert temps. But here in Kentucky we had the unfortunate event of buying a new home with a brand new Lennox AC. We have had constant problems with the unit and as of now it is still not resolved. In short, it is garbage.

"I would never buy another Lennox"
Our 5 year old Lennox air conditioner's compressor went. Since it is over 5 years old, it is not covered under warranty. It will cost 1900.00 to replace outside unit with another Lennox. I will never buy another Lennox even if it cost me more. An expensive air conditioner should last more than 5 years.

My Lennox is less then a week old and doesn't work. Would never buy again.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Piece of crap"
I bought a brand new two story house four years ago. Since then, both the upstairs unit and downstairs unit has been diagnosed with leaks and both compressors needed to be replaced. The 10 year warranty covers the cost of a new compressor and other parts, but the cost of labor is absolutely ridiculous! In the past 4 months, I have put $1400 dollars worth of freon ( $41 per pound) and labor into just the downstairs unit alone with 2 different visits. Don't buy, especially if you live in a state where air conditioning is not a luxury, but a necessity...

It is certain that the number of those who reason well in difficult matters is much smaller then the number of those who reason badly ........ reasoning is like running & unlike carrying, hence one Arab steed will outrun a hundred jackasses.
Everyone's friend is No One's friend
This sorta follows the idea of the short answer as to why Romney lost:
Why Romney Lost
Romney said, "When I'm elected, I will put Americans back to work."
and 51% said, "Screw That!!"
When the one you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
He also called 47% of the country lazy. You just can't bad mouth people that you want to vote for you. He figured there were enough of the elite in the country that would vote for him and that would override the peasants that he talked badly about. How was "he" going to put people back to work? He was going to be the president, not a CEO that could tell people to start hiring. Unless he was going to create a whole bunch of government jobs. then he could put people back to work
I'm not going to pretend I know the state of economy everyplace but here low level jobs are available, but people aren't going to go out and work for $7 hr when they can sit home and collect $5 an hour watching TV, add to that fuel assistance, free medical, wic, food stamps I would imagine one gets by just fine by not working. I applaud Romney for going after these people, I just wish he'd go after the corporate welfare recipients with the same vigor (never going to happen). I agree with you in the fact that the Republicans have never came out with a plan, besides saying that they had a plan.

Gloucester wing James Simpson-Daniel has undergone a shoulder operation which will keep him on the sidelines for up to four months.
30-year-old Simpson-Daniel, who represented England in 10 Tests, went under the knife at the weekend having last played on 3 November.
Gloucester director of rugby Nigel Davies said Simpson-Daniel's injury was a setback as he was a regular in the Cherry and Whites' starting Xv this season.
"It's a blow for James and for us, particularly with the way he has been playing," he told the BBC
"We are hugely disappointed because James was a big part of what we'd been so far this season."
Simpson-Daniel had played every minute of Gloucester's Premiership campaign until he was substituted at half-time in the 28-25 defeat to Harlequins three weeks ago.
"We are hugely disappointed because James was a big part of what we'd been so far this season," dded Davies.
"He had an operation and there was damage in his shoulder and that has been repaired. That will keep him away from action for about three to four months.
"In one regard he is on the way to recovery, but it's going to be a reasonably lengthy process.
"Now it falls on to the next guys to come in and do exactly the same. We've played without him on a couple of occasions before and we've been able to do that."
