News: Pacers forward David West showed no signs of the calf injury that limited him in practice leading up to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals Wednesday in Miami. West scored 26 points in the game on 11 of 17 shooting, including 4 of 8 from the free-throw line. West added five rebounds and an assist, while turning the ball over four times in a 103-102 loss.
Analysis: West is dealing with a strained left calf, but it obviously is not going to keep him off the floor. West is averaging 35.4 minutes per game over the course of the postseason, but that is up to 37.6 over the last five games. West averaged 17.1 points and 7.7 rebounds per game in the regular season, and is about to be a free agent. He should command plenty of interest on the market, and will be a solid Fantasy option in all formats on Draft Day. Plan on targeting him after the first few rounds are over on Draft Day.
News: Heat guard Mario Chalmers took a hard screen in the third quarter of Wednesday's Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers, suffering a left shoulder injury. He would not return to the game, finishing with 10 points on 4 of 7 shooting in 21 minutes. His status moving forward in the series is not yet known, but the injury was diagnosed as just a bruise.
Analysis: Chalmers is averaging 7.3 points per game in the postseason, after putting up 8.6 points per game in the regular season. This injury might not be a big concern, but it will be something for Miami to keep an eye on in the next few days heading into Game 2. Chalmers shot 40.9 percent from three-point range this season, and that is where his Fantasy value will always come from. This injury is unlikely to linger into the offseason, so it should not change his Fantasy value for next season. He remains useful in deeper Rotisserie Fantasy formats on Draft Day.
News: Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony shot just 41.6 percent from the field after suffering a shoulder injury in Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs against the Celtics, and now we know why. Despite playing at least 35 minutes in each game from that point on, Anthony was dealing with a torn labrum in his left shoulder, according to a New York Daily News report Wednesday. The team hopes that Anthony will not need surgery, but that determination will not been made until he rests for at least three weeks. If Anthony does need surgery it could keep him sidelined three to four months, potentially bumping up against the start of the regular season.
Analysis: Anthony struggled throughout the playoffs with his shot, but he was clearly limited by the injury. When healthy this season, Anthony was tremendous, averaging 28.7 points per game en route to his first scoring title. We will keep an eye on his recovery throughout the offseason, as there appears to be an outside chance this could impact his availability for the start of next season. Fantasy owners will want to keep an eye on this injury heading into Draft Day, but Anthony should still be a first-round Fantasy option in all formats.
News: The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports good news from Heat practice Sunday for guard Dwyane Wade. His hobbled knee limited him in the first-round series against the Bucks, and he aggravated it in Game 4 vs. the Bulls, but then returned to help close out the Bulls in Games 4 and 5. Going forward, it's not that Wade can or cannot play, it's to what level he can be effective. Facing a physical, bruising defense in Indiana in the Eastern Conference Finals, Wade's going to be even more banged up. Luckily, he still has another two days to see if he can get even a little bit better. But for the most part, this is kind of standard operating procedure for Wade. Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and Indiana Pacers is Wednesday in Miami.
Analysis: It sounds like Wade will be fine for Game 1 against the Pacers, and hopefully he doesn't suffer a setback with his knee moving forward in the playoffs. When healthy and active, Wade is a standout Fantasy option in all leagues, and we hope this knee problem is rectified during the offseason so he's back to 100 percent for the start of next season.
News: With the Lakers hoping for a swift decision from Dwight Howard on his free agency this summer, the All-Star center has given no indication he will rush the process and has privately indicated he plans to give strong consideration to multiple teams, league sources told CBSSports.com NBA Insider Ken Berger. Though Howard is adamant his free agency not be marred by the circus-like environment that surrounded his departure from Orlando last summer, word already has spread to multiple levels of his support staff that Howard re-signing with the Lakers is far from a done deal. With six weeks to go before Howard becomes an unrestricted free agent, the team that is said to intrigue him the most is the Rockets, according to multiple people briefed on internal conversations surrounding Howard's free-agent decision. The Rockets have a young star, James Harden, who has proved himself worthy of playing the leading role for the franchise; a budding 3-point shooting threat in Chandler Parsons; a defensive-minded coach in Kevin McHale; and Omer Asik, the kind of 7-footer Howard is believed to want next to him in the frontcourt.
Analysis: The Mavericks represent another franchise that intrigues Howard, and Dallas is a minor transaction or two away from having enough room to sign Howard outright as an unrestricted free agent. Howard plans to explore all such options, and a person briefed on his plans told CBSSports.com that there are "several" teams the free-agent center is "going to take a hard look at." The Lakers still have a strong chance of signing Howard, especially from a financial standpoint, so keep an eye on what develops. No matter where Howard plays this season he would remain a No. 1 Fantasy center in all leagues and worth at least a pick in Round 2.
News: Knicks shooting guard J.R. Smith should be ready to cash in this offseason. After making a little more than $5 million over his last two years with theKnicks, he has a player option for next season that he will undoubtedly forgo in hopes of signing a more lucrative contract. After winning Sixth Man of the Year he should have plenty of suitors in need of a scorer lining up to pay him for his services. However, he stated within the past week that he wants to retire as a Knick. This could be a ploy to drive up the negotiating price for Smith, or he could be sincere. The New York Post Smith is expected to opt out of his contract and re-sign with the Knicks in a four-year deal starting at about $5 million because the Knicks own his early-Bird rights rules.
Analysis: Smith averaged a career-high 18.1 points and 5.3 rebounds while shooting 42.2 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from 3-point range. He beat out Jamal Crawford and Jarrett Jack for the 2012-13 Sixth Man of the Year award, the first of his career. Keep an eye on what he does this offseason, but no matter where he signs he would be worth at least a mid-round pick, with his best value staying with the Knicks based on the way he played this past season.
News: Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) returned to the starting lineup for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Grizzlies. Leonard logged 30 minutes as he scored 18 points on 7 of 10 shooting from the field, including 4 of 5 from beyond the arc. He also chipped in with two rebounds, two steals, one assist and a blocked shot in a 105-83 victory.
Analysis: Leonard's knee problems were a "mild cause of concern" for the Spurs heading into the conference finals. Leonard averaged 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game on the season, while shooting 49.6 percent from the field. His role will only continue to grow, so Fantasy owners have to like Leonard's development patter. He will be a big-time breakout candidate heading into next season, worth a mid-round pick on Draft Day.
News: Knicks center Tyson Chandler worked his way around a back issue as he returned to action in Game 6 against the Pacers Saturday night. Chandler was held to just two points on 1 of 4 shooting. He also chipped in with six rebounds in a 106-99 defeat.
Analysis: Chandler will have the entire offseason to recover from his back issue. The 7-footer averaged 10.4 points and 10.7 rebounds over 66 games -- marking the second time he has averaged a double-double. He also shot 63.8 percent from the field, but only averaged 20.1 Fantasy points per week as injuries really hampered his production down the stretch. Fantasy owners should plan on scooping him up in the earlier rounds in draft formats next fall.
News: Pacers point guard George Hill, who missed Game 5 with a concussion, returned to the starting lineup Game 6 against the Knicks. Hill scored 12 points on 2 for 10 shooting. He grabbed five boards and dished out four assists in a 106-99 win.
Analysis: Hill seems to be healthy enough to play and will now earn a three days of rest before the Eastern Conference Finals. Hill posted career highs in points (14.2), assists (4.7), rebounds (3.7) and steals (1.1) during his first full year as a starter and finish as the 27th highest scoring guard, in terms of Fantasy points, in all standard formats. Fantasy owners should plan on targeting him in the middle rounds of most draft formats next fall.
News: The Boston Globe reports that Celtics forward Kevin Garnett has two years left on his contract but is considering retirement. He turns 37 Sunday. I dont think I have the answers that Kevin will want, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. So Ive got to figure theres a lot to do [before we talk], and I think theres a lot of questions in Kevins mind, as there is every year, to determine whether hes coming back.Im not ready to answer everything that he will want to know.
Analysis: Garnett had another productive year, averaging 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists while shooting 49.6 percent from the field and 78.6 percent from the foul line. He will likely return if the Celtics keep Paul Pierce, but that's just speculation. Keep an eye on what happens with the Celtics, and if Garnett is back consider him a solid No. 2 Fantasy center worth a mid-round pick.

Aw, Sheet.
And really, you know what seems like a good idea? Fleece sheets. I mean, who doesn't love fleece? It's soft! It's cuddly! And last, but certainly not least, it's fleecy! It seems perfect for bedtime! J and I had gotten a fleece sheet set (TONGUE TWISTER!) a while back, and given the past (particularly chilly) few days, we decided to bust them out the other night.
This would prove to be the biggest mistake of our lives. Well, this week, anyway.
Fleece sheets, you see, are a good idea in theory only, much like low-fat cheese, balloon-related hoaxes, and that one time I had four (4) tequila shots at a bar and decided to go to visit the bathroom in said bar, located down a steep flight of Deathly Bruise-Inducing Steps, while wearing stiletto boots. Ah, college.
But back to our sheets, and with it, the collective idiocy of me and my husband:
By way of background, our apartment building is full of a particularly ornery breed of Crotchety Elderly Folk. This carries with it many implications, but chief among them for this tale, that our building is kept at the approximate temperature of hell for most of the year, so as to quell their whining. (At least about the cold.) Like the morons that we are, we momentarily forgot about this, and put the fleece sheets on our bed. I felt a vague sense of dread, but shook it off, because hooray! New sheets!
Later that night, I donned a pair of velour pants and a tank, and hopped into bed. Somewhere around 1 a.m., I woke up, feeling trapped. Or perhaps, more accurately, ACTUALLY TRAPPED. NOT UNLIKE A DOLPHIN IN A TUNA NET. Because as it turns out, velour and fleece? LIKE VELCRO. Half asleep, I woke J to assist me by sort of…kicking in his general vicinity with my bound legs. "These pillowcases!" he moaned. "There is no cool spot!" I agreed as enthusiastically as one can while still basically in REM sleep, and he helped to free me from my not-so-metaphorical shackles. We fell back asleep, but I then woke up an hour later, sweaty and uncomfortable. The sheets were cooking me alive. As I tossed around, unsuccessfully trying to find a comfortable place, J woke up and whispered, "It is like sleeping on a bear. Not a rug, M. A living, hibernating bear." Which then devolved into an impromptu game of "What Else Is It Like Sleeping On?" featuring entries such as "Tony Manero's leisure suit, apres disco," "one of Bill Belichik's grody sweatshirts," "Barry Gibb's chest hair," and "OH MY HELL, IS IT REALLY 2:27 A.M.? WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING?!"
Somehow we made it through the night, and this is the part where you think I tell you all about how we immediately changed the sheets in the morning, right? Because it should be a foregone conclusion? Yeah, well, due to a combination of laziness, stupidity, and a secret but earnest desire to get a "full sheet wearing" (my ludicrous concept and phrase, thank you) out of the damned things, we're still living with them, days later.
It is, at this point, a war of attrition.
The sheets remain, but we've abandoned the pillows entirely, choosing instead to rest our heads on the (cotton) pillow shams. Each night, J kicks the top sheet so far down that it's basically on the floor, and I kind of wrap myself in the bedspread, eggroll-like. I don't know what we're hoping for...that the sheets disintegrate from the combined power of our hatred for them? That they'll magically replace themselves? That we'll spontaneously enter a new Ice Age tomorrow, and there we'll sit, wrapped smugly in our aggressively warm bedding? Whatever it is, I hope to god it happens soon, because the end of the "full sheet wearing" cannot come soon enough.

I am totally with you on needing to give sheets a full sheet wearing before changing them. We have this one duvet cover that drives me crazy: it's always too hot and the buttons at the end always come undone so that you end up tangled up in them. However, I must sleep under this duvet cover for a week before allowing myself to change it.
Also, we got this new down comforter for our wedding which is SUPER awesome and fluffy and warm and comfy, but that combined with the aforementioned Annoying Duvet Cover From Hell is a bad, bad match. The other day, I woke up and I had this very succinct thought:
"I am in a panini machine."
Yes, I felt like I was IN A PANINI MACHINE, BEING MADE INTO A PANINI. Like, I was the sandwich, and the down comforter bearing down on me was the top of the panini machine, squishing me down. I promise, I was not on drugs. - 1:32 AM

I used to live in an attic, and there was no heat. At all. In December in MD. I had a very elaborate space heater scheme going on to keep from dying in the night, and I might - MIGHT - have appreciated flannel sheets then.
Now, on the verge of my very first Arizona winter (it's going to be 93 tomorrow! What, may I ask, the hell?), I read the words "flannel sheets" and immediately burst into a sympathy sweat. - 2:45 AM
- Sara said...
Ick. I don't like sheets that aren't absorbent and don't have cool pillows. That sounds like pure and utter torture to me!!
I however do sleep with the windows cracked in winter. It is mild in the Northwest... We have an electric blanket that was a present. I woudl have never bought it for myself, but it is wonderful. It has seperate sides of the bed adjustments, my husband and I can choose our own temperature! And it costs the amount of a lightbulb to operate. Best thing ever! - 2:57 AM
- zoot said...
The "no cool spot!" is the issue I have with flannel sheets and why I would assume I'd have the same issue with fleece and why I would never try them. And also? It never occurred to me to just use different pillow cases. That seems like the most brilliant solution ever. Except for the other reasons for hating the fleece, of course. Because no one wants to be "one of Bill Belichik's grody sweatshirts." I am sure.
- SmartBear said...
We too gave the fleece sheets a try several years ago. I thought they would be like sleeping in my favorite t-shirt! WRONG! It was exactly as you described: everything twisted and stretched and hot as hell. My husband begged for mercy. He is 6 foot 4 and I watched him one morning with he sheets wrapped around him like a mummy. He woke up and said "I can't get out of bed! I'm trapped!" The sheets have been gone since. They sound like a great idea, but they are awful.
- the grumbles said...
One year my husband INSISTED that we get these horrible red flannel sheets because the heat in our apartment sucked. Turns out when you wash them they make these evil little red pills EVERYWHERE and it spreads all over your house and clothes and GAH! I used to find them in my hair, and in the living room, and in my shoes. That was four years ago. I still find little red fluffers on my clothes.
- Adventures In Babywearing said...
Oh my gosh I will heed this warning. I am so glad you are ok!
Steph - 8:47 AM
- Kristen said...
Girl, I just laughed so hard that I had to relate this entire story to my dad, who smiled and nodded, but I clearly didn't get the hilarity across. I don't know what about this I found so damn funny, but I'm still fighting the chuckles. OMG, like sleeping on a bear!
- whoorl said...
OMG, I hate fleece. HATE. Wait until the little fleece pills/balls start to show up and the sheets end up looking like you bought them at a garage sale in '79.
- missris said...
Good to know! Especially since I was contemplating fleece and/or flannel sheets for winter in Chicago. Now I think I'll just stick to my aggressively warm electric blanket because at least that thing can be turned off.
- ashleyb1182 said...
Okay, why is no one else wondering about the "spirited fight with a pervert con man-cab driver"? Believe me, this is decidedly UN-self-explanatory to a gal who has never actually ridden in a taxi!
- TUWABVB said...
I always look at the fleece/flannel/tshirt material secion of Target longingly - but I know that my husband and me (with a combined body temp of about 500 degrees) could NEVER use them. Also, I can't have sheets that stick to you when you roll over - it drive me mad. I need a high-slippage ratio.
- Sarah said...
I am a firm cotton-only sheet purchaser. And, Ew! Fleece. Ick!
I'm confused that your entire apt building is one temperature? You can't control your own? - 11:47 AM
- Pamela said...
Oh wow, thank you. I got such a good laugh out of that one. And apparently a life saving warning.
- Avitable said...
You sleep in velour?
- SUEB0B said...
Ok, this may sound like a stupid question, but the whole building is heated to the same temp? A hot hot temp? How is that possible? Is there no way to control your own unit's heat? That sounds so...weird! I just can't imagine it...please tell me I have this wrong.
- Ali said...
I'm all sweaty just thinking about that...
also. please come and visit me. it was too good to see you three days in a row :) - 1:09 PM
- Angella said...
We have flannel sheets and I love them, but only because my bedroom is at the exact opposite of the house from the furnace and is colder than a witch's tit.
If it gets too hot in bed, I stick out my foot for "air conditioning." - 1:26 PM
Our bedroom is over our garage which means it's freezing in the winter. We have a set of flannel sheets but, as of late even those make me sweat. (Couldn't have anything to do with being 8 mos. pregnant now, could it?)
I have found, however, that a heated mattress pad with dual controls is the way to go. I turn it on about 30 min. before going to bed, let it warm the bed and then turn it off when I get in so I don't cook at night. Just make sure that you put the controls on the right side.
When we first purchased the mattress pad my husband mixed up the controls and every night I'd wake up on fire. I was sweating and itchy from being so damn hot and couldn't figure out why it was so hot when I had it on the first level (there are like 6 levels). My husband couldn't figure out why his never got hot enough. Until we realized he was controlling my side and I his. (Yes, we're dumb) - 2:34 PM
- Bubbles said...
I will be the lone dissenter. I adore my fleece sheets. Marrying my husband was the best day of my life, but the day I found out fleece sheets existed runs a close second. I also sleep in flannel pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and wool socks because my body temp hovers just above absolute zero most of the year.
- Kristabella said...
1) The title cracked my sheet up!
2) I can TOTALLY relate. I just moved out of a building where I couldn't control the heat. So I got flannel sheets and a flannel duvet cover. And thought I was a GENIUS! And then in the middle of the night when the heat kicked on, I was sweating and ripping off all my clothes and wanting to sleep on the bathroom floor.
I laughed when I pulled those sheets and that duvet out of the linen closet when I packed to move to my new house. WHY I DIDN'T DONATE IT TO GOODWILL? I DO NO KNOW! - 3:39 PM
- Melissa Lehman said...
"Fleece sheets" = blankets
Fleece sheets sounds TOTALLY oxymoronic to me. - 8:11 PM
- SLynnRo said...
Aaron and I would totally do this.
And seriously, i cannot believe you live somewhere where you can't control your thermostat. That is my idea of hell. - 11:32 PM
- Lara said...
Hahaha - I would totally be too lazy to change the sheets, too. Instead, I'd just sleep naked.
Well. Now. C'mon all you flannel dissenters out there. Fleece sheets = hell, I totally agree, based purely on my fleece pyjamas which should basically go straight from the clean laundry to the dirty (um, or the trash), as they seem to trap all kinds of nasty moistness (evil word, yes) and turn into ickyhell after about 8 minutes. But flannel! Flannel = cotton, but warm, is a whole different ball of earwax, which mysteriously seems to end up all over my sons pillowcase. Which is another story.
And by way of delurkifying, my sister sent me the link to your blog after my good-god-I-have-had-two-snotty-kids-for-two-months-dammit daily whinesnivelrantfest.
So there. - 3:29 PM
- kara said...
I saw the fleece sheets online somewhere, and I had about 3 full seconds of thinking "Fleece! So cozy for the wint-" and then came to my senses and realized they would be WAAAY too hot for me, since I'm a hot sleeper anyway.
Maybe you could cut them up and hem the edges to make them into blankies for your kids? Or throw blankets for movie watching on the couch? - 4:18 PM
- Meemo said...
Just think of how good those cotton sheets will feel after all your hot sheet drama.
- Gemini Girl said...
I too made the mistake of purchasing fleece sheets.
Worst night of our lives. I took it off that morning (unlike you) and the sheets reside in my linen closet, never to be seen by the daylight again. - 11:02 AM
Okay, until I saw the picture of you WEARING the Snuggie, I was wondering how you'd fit that much fabric on an actual penis. Like the Snuggie was just for that body part.

11-5A BOYS BASKETBALL: Rowlett crushes North Garland, Sachse edges South

Rowlett's first two losses of the season are a thing of the past.
The Eagles returned from tournament action this past week with three consecutive victories, the latest of which was a 90-71 win over North Garland on Tuesday.
Rowlett is now 17-2 overall on the year and its 4-0 mark in 11-5A pushes them a half-game ahead of Lakeview, who was idle on Tuesday, for the top spot in the district standings.
The second half was more of the same, as they steadily pulled away in handing North Garland its third loss in as many district games.
Jeffrey Carroll had 23 points to lead a quartet of Eagles in double figures. Nathan Hawkins scored 21 points, Kanard Robinson added 13 and Chris Heath chipped in with 10.
Sachse surged into third place by improving to 2-1 in 11-5A with a 56-53 win over South Garland on Tuesday.
It was a hard-fought game against a Colonel team that was desperately searching for its first district win.
Sachse led 25-24 at halftime and while the score stayed close throughout the second half, the Mustangs were able to hang on behind 11 points from A.J. Goss and 10 from Marcus Hubbard.
This is a big week ahead in 11-5A, starting with Friday's game between the Eagles and Patriots with first place on the line at Lakeview Centennial High School.
Sachse also has a huge game as it tries to hold on to third place when it plays on the road at Naaman Forest.
Rowlett had little problem on Saturday in taking care of Naaman Forest for a 69-50 victory.
The Eagles were strong offensively in the second quarter, scoring 25 points to open a 40-23 halftime lead.
Behind 29 points from Carroll and 15 from Hawkins, Rowlett cruised from there to stay undefeated in district play.
Rowlett returned to the court last Wednesday in an unfamiliar position looking to bounce back from a loss.
In fact, after their 14-0 start, the Eagles had dropped back-to-back games in tournament play heading into their return to 11-5A play against South Garland.
It did not take long for Rowlett to rediscover its winning ways, though, as it took control early and never looked back in a 80-42 victory.
Rowlett jumped on the Colonels from the outset, opening the game with a 23-3 run. It did not get any better for South Garland, as the Eagles steadily pulled away from there.
Carroll had 28 points and Hawkins added 12 for Rowlett.
Sachse followed up its strong showing at the Dallas ISD Coca-Cola Tournament by notching its first district win with a 59-49 victory over Garland last Wednesday.
The difference was the first eight minutes, when the Mustangs outscored the Owls 16-3. The Sachse lead was 31-15 at halftime, and while Garland chipped away in the second half, it could never make a serious run.
Tyrique Edwards had 10 points, Michael Olivares scored nine and Goss and Marlo Johnson each added eight for the Mustangs.
Rowlett 4-0 17-2
Lakeview 3-0 16-5
Sachse 2-1 10-9
Naaman Forest 2-2 7-16
Garland 1-2 9-13
North Garland 0-3 4-11
South Garland 0-4 5-13

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse shows off in video
Bugatti unveiled the Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse convertible at the Geneva motor show in March, and this week, it uploaded a few high-definition YouTube videos showing the car ripping around mountain roads.
The Grand Sport Vitesse is Bugatti's hardtop convertible supercar, using the 7.9-liter W16 engine from the Veyron Super Sport that makes 1,200 hp. With a torque rating of 1,106 lb-ft, it has a top speed of 255 mph. In normal or what Bugatti calls "handling" mode, the speed is limited to 233 mph. It can reach 62 mph in just 2.6 seconds.
Its 4,387-pound curb weight and motorsports-grade dampers allow the beast to pull 1.4 g on the skid pad on the new Vitesse aluminum wheels.
All of this can be yours for $2.3 million. Or you can just enjoy the video, along with epic mood music, and check out a few more at www.youtube.com/user/BugattiSocial. It's probably the closest most of us will ever get to one.

"Happy Customer"
I own a duplex and had to replace a split unit 4 years ago. The new Luxaire unit has performed extremely well. Only had one minor condensation leak, and due to installer warranty the fix and part was free. Everything seems to depend on the installer, and I have had twice yearly checkups on the unit. Plus changed the filters each month. As far as I am concerned the unit is highly efficient, very reliable, and economical. But make sure you have a good installer and that the unit is the proper size for your home and area.

"Consumer/ hvac tech"
I have been reading these reviews I put in a Luxaire furnace in December of 2002. My gas bill before was $180 a month to $65 the first month of January. In fall of 2011 I install a Luxaire heat pump with same furnace as back up heat. Have to have for Indiana cold winters. The only thing I have done is changed filter. No parts failures at all. I still put in Luxaire furnaces and a/c units. I run company on my days off from my firefighting job. I have put in a bunch of these things. I also stand behind all my work. And to this day, I have only had two part failures from any of units installed. I will continue to install and would not recommend anything else at this time. By the way I was a American Standard dealer before going to Luxaire. Take a good look at company that is doing install. As far as factory is concerned, if quality installation and good company you should never have to deal with factory. Wish I could give out E-Mail but If I did I would not get anything else done. Luxaire are great units!

""Out of sight""
I have actively represented Luxaire products in the Michigan market for 45 years as a wholesale distributor. The products that are available today, by all manufactures, are sophisticated and complex. All complex machines require scheduled maintenance to perform at peak efficiency. Scheduled maintenance, service contracts and extended warranty protection are options that are available through the installing Dealer Contractor. I have learned that �anything made by man can and will fail�. Your hvac System is an important component of your home. Just because it is out of sight does not mean that it does not requires the same attention you give to your other household appliances. Your clothes washer, dryer, stove, refrigerator and all of the rest of your every day appliances are in plain sight when they are in use. You have the ability to detect premature deficiencies every time you use them. Your furnace and air conditioner only draw your attention when �The Da** Thing Doesn�t Work�. The bottom line is spelled out in the old saying, �An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure�.

"Reliant Plumbing and Mechanical"
I've been selling/installing Luxaire/York now for over 10 years and never run into issues with it as long as you install these units correctly and take care of them they will run from years to come. Also the fact that majority of these units are built here in the usa so not only am I installing a quaility product I'm also keeping work here is the states whitch is very important to us.

Coming from a person that's been in the wholesale heating and air conditioning business for nine years, I can tell you Luxaire is a quality unit, if installed correctly. Just like every other piece of equipment out there. I've sold Janitrol/Goodman, Gibson/Frigidaire(made by Nordyne, who also makes: Tappan, Philco, Kelvinator, Maytag, Nutone, Grandair, etc), Tempstar(made by icp, who makes:(Carrier, Bryant, Heil, Arcoaire) and Luxaire(made by upg, who makes: York, Coleman and Fraser Jonston). I've also been the one doing warranty for all of these units. I can honestly say that Luxaire is a good unit. Take a years worth of equipment sales between Luxaire/Guardian, Gibson/Frigidaire and Goodman, and I've done considerably less warranty for Luxaire. Parts fail. It happens with all brands. With Nordyne units, boards and hot surface ignitors are the most common problems. Nordyne just impletmented a new warranty policy in regards to their boards that's going to be a major stressor to their distributors and dealers. As far as Goodman goes, they've come a long way since they bought Amana out. They still have a problem with their coils leaking though(Nordyne as well). There is a reason why Luxaire/York is a spec'd line in commercial/industrial new construction and Goodman and Nordyne is not. This is just my humble opinion. Don't let anyone tell you Luxaire is a second tier brand. I wouldn't hesitate to put a Luxaire unit in my house should my current system fail.

"Luxaire Modulating furnace"
Luxaire modulating furnace is the best thing that has ever happened to my house since we lived here 12 years. Our house is 2 stories and always hot and cold some rooms didn't even heat. But since the new unit was installed you can go anywhere in my house and its the same temperature and you can not even hear it running, my gas bills have gone way down too. Thank you Luxaire for such a fine product.

I have sold Luxaire for several years. There are only two ways to see this product from the homeowners perspective: love it or hate it. I can tell you that I have contractors that will only install Luxaire because it works well and there are contractors that call me an hour after completing the installation wanting to know why the system is not operating properly. It boils down to this: Are you a homeowner looking for the absolute cheapest contractor or are you willing to pay for a good, confidant contractor that knows what they're doing? That's the difference-you get what you pay for.

"Great product!"
Most of the negative comments about Luxaire as far as i can see is the CONTRACTOR! If your furnace is sized right and installed properly it will be great furnace or air conditioner for many years. If you hire a Certified Comfort Luxaire dealer you will recieve a 100% money back guarantee for the first year it was installed. Great product!

"Service tech new york"
I have been servicing and installing luxaire for many years. They have to sized and installed properly. There are switches in the furnace that have to be set in order for your furnace to run right. If these steps are not taken your system will not operste properly. The luxaire product like any other product if installed properly will be a comfort and reliable product for you and your family. Johnson controls owns luxaire and johnson controls are an industry leader. If your contractor does not install system properly no manufacture will stand behind a botched insall. E mail me Love to hear input

"good units"
Reading all these reveiws a couple things come to mind. Contractors learn how to size a unit. 2 What happened to good work ethics, and quality service. This is where contractors need to stop complaining about everythign and do their job better.

SYRACUSE — Syracuse Mayor Eric Cunningham and members of Syracuse Village Council recently recognized Joy Bentley for the many hours of volunteer work she has given to the village.
The playground park located near the ball fields in Syracuse was renamed Joy Bentley Playground Park through a resolution passed at the October council meeting.
A sign at the park was unveiled during a dedication ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
Bentley was recognized for her work to make Syracuse a more attractive, happier place for residents and visitors.
The resolution passed by council stated that Bentley has organized and worked with volunteers to make Village Hall an attractive setting which reflects the attitude of those who reside in the village.
She has also helped to plan, organize, and design the Rizer Park at the north entrance to the village.
Bentley and other volunteers donated both money and labor to reopen the London Pool. Bentley also helps to maintain the Robert Wingett Community Center which she and other volunteers helped to open a few years ago.
Bentley was also the driving force to secure the grant, design layout, materials, and volunteers necessary for the installation of the playground equipment at the playground now named in honor of her.

bought it for 1250 in hyd, had the older version for 5 yyears now, upgraded to the 150 mbps, N spec router for better media sharing experience.
the design could have been better though the stand is not so good as earlier, though it has push button simplicity in setup and use. easiest router to configure and setup.
I ordered this product on a Saturday and i was amazed to receive the product at Monday ...Flipkart is so fast .. and about the product the N-150 router just rocks !! its so easy to configure and love the wireless management and signal ..it covers my two storied house each of 1100 Sq.fr ..Works charm with BSNL ADSL basic modem which i m using ..once again Flipkart thank you..
From : Guwahati,Assam
A simple yet brilliant wireless router (not modem) from Netgear this. Have used this for a month now without issues.
Installation and setup:
Let me just start of by saying that you DO NOT need to call a technician or the ever-so-busy internet company helplines to install this router. It comes with an installation CD that has versions for Windows, OS X and Linux. I set it up using my Macbook and it went seamlessly. The exact steps to be followed are given in the program you will run from the CD. You won't require any additional cables that don't come in the box. Every cable and adapter is labeled (yellow or black) and is thus referred in the installation (convenient for those people who do not understand what an ethernet cable is or what a power adapter is). The program even allows you to set your network name and password without you needing to go into the settings of the router through an ip address. Thus it, by default, makes the internet secure, unless you, for the benefit of the homeless, decide to make it unsecured.
Range and Usability:
Well in this respect I haven't really stress tested the router but generally it should be easily capable to handle as many devices a home can have. We use it 4 devices (2 laptops, 2 phones) and it works without any issues. Also, we haven't had any issues with the range. Full network throughout our not-so-big 2BHK house. Concrete walls do not seem to pose a problem but again it depends if the wireless signal is cutting the walls width wise or length wise. Again, not stress-tested, but will update if I see a potential issue.
Look: Just like in the picture, stands tall and delivers. White-silver body is excellent, lights are perfect (not too bright to disturb your sleep).
Flipkart: Got next day delivery in Bangalore. I am not sure about the price but I think it is cheaper by around 50 bucks.
Tody bought this product from Flipkart, Ordered 3 days back and quite happy with the decent pricing and delivery speed.
A simple and powerful wireless router (having no modem) from Netgear this. I have just purchase this product fro flipkart.com. Received product in 2 Days at my home location. Nice delivery home delivery system.

Steve Rosetta Named EMD of Cushman & Wakefield's San Diego Operations17 Feb, 2010, San Diego
Cushman & Wakefield announces that Steve Rosetta has been promoted to the position of
executive managing director of its San Diego County operations where he will oversee all sales
and lease activities, asset management and capital markets functions.
Rosetta is highly respected in the San Diego County commercial real estate industry, with more than 14 years of experience in both management and brokerage roles. He has been affiliated with Cushman & Wakefield since 1996 during which time he has been pivotal in negotiating some of the county's most notable sales and lease transactions. Under his leadership as both owner and manager between 2002 through 2007, the San Diego operation tripled in size - becoming a dominant leader in landlord and tenant representation. He helped spearhead Cushman & Wakefield's acquisition of Burnham Real Estate in early 2008, a strategic and highly successful move that resulted in the formation of the largest commercial real estate services provider in San Diego. "Steve will be a tremendous asset to our San Diego operations, bringing deep knowledge of the local industry and superb real estate expertise to his position," said Joe Vargas, executive vice president and area leader/southwest region. "His understanding of the challenges faced by real estate owners and tenants today, along with his solution-driven approach and ability to help formulate win-win deal structures, will be invaluable to us as we look to provide our clients with the highest possible level of service and value." During his career with Cushman & Wakefield, Rosetta has been consistently honored as a top producer, having completed international, national and local transactions totaling more than 11 million square feet and 230 acres of land. As a specialist in corporate tenant representation, he has met the complex real estate needs of numerous clients around the world. Rosetta's professional and industry activities include serving on Cushman & Wakefield's Americas Management Committee, as well as being an active member of numerous professional organizations including CoreNet, National Association of Industrial and Office Parks (NAIOP), Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR), Urban Land Institute (ULI) the Economic Development Corporation's Next Generation Board. His community activities include serving as an executive committee member with Junior Achievement and his role in the organizations' formation of its Biz Town facility. He also sits on the executive committee of the non-profit HeadNorth Foundation, which he co-founded following an accident that led to the paralysis of his colleague and friend Eric Northbrook. Rosetta earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from California State University San Marcos and a master's in real estate development from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. ###

Comments about Jokari Erasable Food Labels Refills:
Easy to erase, basically comes off in the wash. I use for labeling food, breast milk bottles, and leftovers. I plan to label everything.
Great product - need choices for sizes
By thedragonfly
from Joshua Tree CA
About Me First Time Parent
Great product, works with any permanent marker and you can erase it with alcohol, but I don't see the need for the bigger size, there should be "a pick your size choice" and bought the starter kit thinking the marker will work better but it doesn't. Stick to regular permanent markers and alcohol to erase. You pay double the amount for not a good market and eraser.

Looking for ways to lift America out of a downward economic spiral, President Barack Obama made a lot of promises in his State of the Union addresses ... and he even kept many of them.
Obama was more successful in pushing his policy goals through Congress in the first half of his first term, when both chambers were in Democratic control. By the time he gave his first address before Congress in 2009, he had already secured the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and put in place a program to assist homeowners facing foreclosure. By midterm, he wrestled lawmakers into approving two other landmark pieces of legislation that dominated his early addresses: health care and Wall Street reform.
After that, his track record became more checkered as the Republicans in the House blocked many of his efforts. He also failed to make much headway into some of the biggest problems facing the nation, such as entitlement reform.
Here's a look at how Obama did on some of the biggest promises of his first term:
Jobs: Job creation was a central theme running through all four of Obama's addresses to Congress. Boosting employment was at the root of many of his proposals, spanning fields such as energy, education, exports and infrastructure.
The 2009 stimulus bill sent money flowing to the clean energy and infrastructure industries, prompting hiring in those areas. It also provided a financial safety net to the states, keeping teachers, firefighters and other government workers on the job. Obama pushed for partnerships with the manufacturing industry and community colleges to prepare the next generation of American workers.
While the administration succeeded in getting a few smaller jobs bills through Congress after the Recovery Act, Obama did not get comprehensive employment legislation in the later years of his first term. And while he's placed a lot of emphasis on the revival of the manufacturing sector -- calling it in last year's speech "a blueprint for an economy that's built to last" -- the industry has lost 606,000 jobs since his first inauguration.
Still, there's no question that jobs were created on Obama's watch. The nation added 1.2 million jobs since he took office. That's even more impressive when you consider the big hole he had to dig out of: The nation started shedding positions in early 2008 and continued for more than a year into Obama's term. Employers have added 5.5 million jobs since the nadir in February 2010.
However, the economy is not creating jobs fast enough for a strong recovery to take hold. Last month, only 157,000 jobs were added.
Taxes: It took four years, but Obama got what he wanted in terms of eliminating tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. Sort of.

In their book "Why Women Shouldn't Marry: Being Single By Choice," Cynthia and Hillary Smith, a mother-daughter duo, discuss several reasons women are choosing to remain unmarried.
The book deals with young women who no longer need the prestige of a "good marriage" because of their own fulfilling careers; widows who say never again to laundering dirty socks and the possibility of becoming a nurse to a husband; and divorced women who don't want to deal with potential problems of remarrying with kids.
Cynthia Smith says her book is also a tool to empower women to know that they can be happy no matter what their status.
In one chapter, the book deals with the soul mate checklist.
The list says that some women are looking for a man to be a companion, a best friend, someone to talk to and support her, someone who is always there and ready to commit to her, someone who always puts the woman first and who loves her for who she is.
Smith said many women buy into the impossible quest of finding someone perfect who matches those traits.
"The soul mate myth is destructive because it will keep you from forming authentic relationships that have a chance to thrive instead of fail," the Smiths write. "Don't marry because you think you have found your soul mate; it is bound to buckle under the unbearable weight of expected perfection."
Smith, who was married for 35 years before her husband died, said many women want their spouses to be everything to them. She says women should depend more on their network of friends and family members.
That way, if her partner does not want to go to the ballet, she can take a friend, she said.
"It seems to me that people are looking for a clone," she said. "'He supports me. He believes in me.' Marriage can't be me, me, me. What does he get out of it?"

Youtube's paid subscriptions might not pay dividends for sports leagues
On Thursday, Youtube launched the first wave of paid subscriptions to a variety of channels. Of the 54 paid channels that are currently active, some are sports related, including channels for Fitness, the PGA Digital Golf Academy, TNA Wrestling, and the UFC.
But honestly, when it comes to the major sports leagues, I'm not sure if they have much of a future charging or subscriptions to Youtube channels. The NBA's Youtube channel is a behemoth, with over 3.4 million subscribers and 1.4 billion video views. The NHL is getting somewhere on Youtube despite over three million fewer subscribers than the NBA. Even MLB is getting in on the act, but their main goal is still driving people to MLB.com and their media empire.
