Franchise Hockey Manager 2013 BETA has been Released
March 5, 2013 - It has arrived. After much anticipation in the simulation community, the release of Franchise Hockey Manager Beta Edition is available for purchase. The idea behind the beta release and not a full copy is so hockey sim community users help test and work out the kinks. All this needs to get sorted before an official release at the start of the 2014 National Hockey League season.
Copies have been selling quickly and the official link can be found here on General Manager Games. Purchase Here.
As per OOTP Developments, this is what can be expected
Playable leagues:
The tentative playable list for now is NHL, AHL, ECHL, KHL, DEL, Elitserien, SM-Liiga, WHL, OHL, QMJHL, and the top two levels in the UK. There are 3-4 other leagues that are fairly close, probably no more than a month or so away, and about 6 that will be longer-term projects (and that last group will grow). Of the playable leagues, the most at-risk ones are the CHL leagues; they're a package deal because of the Memorial Cup, but the player ratings in a couple of them may be a little more incomplete than the other playable leagues right now. I'd prefer to keep them playable, but if I look at them this weekend and decide one or more isn't in a useable state (or at least in one that I can get useable with a late night or two), they could get pulled temporarily.
What's playable is largely determined by the amount of work researchers have been able to get done. We're not excluding leagues because we think they're worse or less significant than the ones we have working right now; it's just a matter of getting the research complete enough.
The Database:
Team and league data is mostly finished; player data varies widely by league. There aren't a lot of specific attributes set in the database at the moment; instead, a template/target ability system is used to generate realistic attributes for the players. This is a deliberate decision on my part; I don't want a repeat of the EHM problem where huge numbers of players had very haphazard-looking collections of attributes because only a handful of them were actually completed. So the database work is being done in a way that prioritizes setting some basic parameters for the players first that will ensure a fairly realistic set of attributes (e.g., defensive centres get good defensive ratings, nobody has NHL-level speed but no acceleration at all, etc.), and then the fine details get filled in later. In most cases, that fine-tuning work is just beginning; some leagues are a little farther ahead in that regard.
Player histories outside the NHL are mainly nonexistent; I'm hoping we can reach an agreement with one of the big database sites to use their information, rather than going through the nightmare of entering it all manually.
The accuracy of rules implementation varies widely from league to league. Some things (e.g., the AHL developent rule) are approximated or abstracted right now, others (some of the more unique KHL roster rules) aren't implemented at all. It's a little too broad a topic to detail league-by-league, but we're trying to get things as realistic as possible within the constraints of the game (which includes the need to keep things fairly modular so customization remains possible, as opposed to doing a bunch of behind-the-scenes hardcoding.)
Rosters will be as up-to-date as we can get them for the playable leagues. The unplayable ones will range from accurate (where researchers are currently assigned) to about a year out of date (unassigned leagues, which are mainly low-level ones - the bottom end of the minors, Junior A, and leagues in most lesser European hockey powers.)
Non-playing staff aren't done as thoroughly as the players. In the best case, they exist and have the correct names; in the worst, they're not there at all and will be replaced by randomly-generated staff. Their undeveloped state is partly intentional - they can have a significant effect on player development, so for the moment we need dependably neutral values for them while we make sure the development model works properly.
The AI:
The AI is OK at a few things right now, mediocre at many others, and just plain bad in places. It can choose lineups and build lines reasonably well and has a crude but effective grasp of tactics, but isn't that great at managing its roster. Not terrible, it just signs some strange contracts, tends to bungle the re-signing of its own players, and likes to collect and hoard starting goalies.
The trading AI in particular is very much a work in progress. We try different things, sometimes it gets better, sometimes it gets worse. It wasn't that awful a couple of weeks ago, but in the last few builds...well, on a scale of Mike Milbury to Sam Pollock, right now it's at Rejean Houle.
Very good in places, but there are still some issues; at the moment, scoring has been too low in the last few builds and we're trying to figure out why (as I write this, we think we've found the problem - an issue with mysteriously inflated goalie ratings - but haven't implemented and tested a fix yet.)
The nature of the ratings will lead to a few noticeable stats oddities; PIM distribution is one that comes to mind - the NHL and a couple of other leagues should be OK in this regard at the start of the game, but the solution (a specific attribute setting) will take a while to implement across the rest of the database.
Tracking of advanced stats (Corsi etc.) isn't incorporated yet ("real-time stats" - hits, takeaways, etc. - are, though.)
Placeholder graphics for team/league logos and player faces, of course. Hopefully there'll be some community solutions to that quickly. We've added a way to have team logos change over the years for historical play, but it doesn't appear to be working properly right now.
The look of the game won't be unfamiliar to anyone who's played OOTP. Functionally, there are aspects that have a ways to go: columns that don't sort right, screens that require too much clicking to arrange the right way, that sort of thing.
The in-game interface (where you can actually watch a game's play-by-play) is very rudimentary at the moment; the play-by-play text is being worked on but right now all you'll get is a short notice of whatever event (shot, turnover, goal, etc.) has just occurred. It also seems to have a couple of nasty crash bugs that can hit at the end of the game.
Stability and crash fixing are priorities this week, but we won't get everything fixed. Some testers are reporting a lot more instability than others, and we're still trying to figure out the reasons. For most people, it's possible to let the game run hands-off for multiple seasons without it crashing.
Speed-wise, it's similar to OOTP, probably a little slower if you had the same number of teams and leagues running. It's not ever going to be a game where you can run a season in 30 seconds and build yourself a 30-year league history while you have lunch, but as a general rule you'll be looking at minutes to run a hands-off season, not hours. Historical mode in particular flies by, since game only has to deal with the NHL (Right now, leagues can't be turned off in modern mode; all the playable ones are active, which tends to slow things down. We'll try to make them selectable soon so you can pare your game down to just a league or two being playable.) The first version of the beta will be one of the slowest ones you'll see; it should get better from there.
Mac version:
No Mac beta version to start with; sorry, there are just too many other things to be done right now. We still want to have one, and will let you know when we have more news on that front.
Historical Mode:
Lots to talk about here. First off, Historical mode isn't going to have a great deal of flexibility in its setup to begin with. That'll improve as we go along, but to start with the setup options will be limited.
For the players, you'll have to let player ratings be recalculated annually (rather than using the same player development model used in the modern mode); players will always retire at the correct time (after their last real-life active season in organized hockey) rather than having the option of letting them choose their own time to retire; and the draft is giving us enough problems right now that it may be taken out pending repairs if we can't get it straightened out by the weekend (which would only leave you the options of either having players assigned to their historical teams automatically, or appearing as free agents.) The draft problems extend to expansion drafts; at the moment, expansion teams have to fill out their rosters with free agents.
As with the modern mode, it won't be possible to set up a fictional league at the moment. You may be able to change some team names, but that will likely cause problems unless you change absolutely nothing but the name.
Inclusion of the WHA is still undecided, but at this point it's probably not going to happen by Monday. Very soon, though, I hope. (And the WHA players will all be available, regardless.)
Right now, the database has ratings for every player who was active in 1947, and every player who debuted in the NHL and WHA between then and 1978-79 (I'm actually partly done with 79-80 and I think I can squeeze in another year or two before Monday if there are no fires for me to put out elsewhere.) So you can get three decades of play in if you start right at the beginning. You could probably play a little into the 80's, but the player supply will dry up. I'm hoping to add at least a couple of new years per week during the beta.
No historical coaching/management staff yet, and don't think there will be in this year's game. That said, I've been thinking about how to handle that lately and it seems like a good longer-term possibility. No historical arenas yet, either; that should be coming in this version, but the modern ones (or randomly-generated ones, in some cases) are used right now.
All dollar figures in historical years will be in 2013 US$. We'll switch over to the OOTP method of historically-correct figures eventually, but right now it's better to have a single frame of reference for testing - it makes it a lot easier to evaluate the contracts the AI is offering, for example, if it's all in modern amounts.
I'm reasonably happy with the way the historical aging/development model seems to be working, but it hasn't had a lot of testing. Having more people looking at it will definitely be useful.
There appear to be some significant issues with the AI's roster handling in historical games; Malte's trying to get those under control right now. There's a weird tendency for the AI to not offer its best players new contracts when their old ones run out and just leave them on their protected lists, where they own the rights but the guy can't play.
We've had to shut off a lot of the league customization features for the sake of short-term stability. They'll come back, but for now you'll largely be limited to playing the preset leagues in their default format. Obviously, we want to make it a lot less restrictive, but that needs to be handled in a controlled way rather than throwing it all in at once and then trying to untangle the problems that result.
Online Leagues:
No functionality at all at the moment, and I can't make any promises yet about a timeline for when it'll happen; that'll depend on what the workload looks like in the coming months - it's going to need a big, dedicated chunk of time to do properly.
International Play:
Same story. Not in now, we want to add it but can't say for sure when it's coming.
Here are the most recent screenprints from the beta release.

Review - GM Hockey Legacy 2012
Review of GM Hockey Legacy 2012
A somewhat more cartoon-like take on the coolest sport on earth.
November 5th, 2012
It's November, and that means that (most) years, my nights would be filled up by flipping through various hockey games, checking box scores and fiddling around with whatever fantasy line-up I've put together for myself. Of course, the NHL's lockout of the NHLPA and subsequent cancellation of games throughout November have left a hole in my autumn routine. In it's place has been a myriad of games, including a new wave of hockey games perhaps aiming to take advantage of the momentum that hockey had built for itself over the last few years and the lack of availability of hockey for most of the country.
We've already briefly discussed FHM, which will come out within the next few months, but being released to the public soon is a dark horse hockey simulator from French-Canadian developer Jean-Francois Cabana. GM Hockey Legacy is a lighter, more stream lined and fun-oriented text-based simulation engine of hockey for the consumer looking to get their hockey fix. While this game won't stand up to the rigid stability and demands of say Football Manager or Out of the Park, that isn't it's purpose: instead, its built to be a fun, simply and somewhat more cartoon-like take on the coolest sport on earth.
After installing the game (which comes with a separate and somewhat amusing audio file), you're prompted to start a new game or continue with a previous game. The menu overlays are simple and efficient here, and that is a trend that continues throughout the user experience.
After setting up a new game (in which you can choose your name, attributes, starting point, team and so on), you go through a myriad of pre-season necessities such as a player draft (featuring up-to-date 2012 draftees), signing coaches to any vacancies and other standard fare. Most of these menus require your attention to complete -- and because they are an early necessity, may frustrate some players who wish to click through their rosters and look around before making any franchise-altering decisions. But for the most part, management after the first few screens is very open ended.
After the initial stages of setting up your game are complete, you're presented with a newspaper overlay as your main screen, from which you can read recent developments around the league and manage your team/league from various drop-down charts.
The graphics and drop-down charts are different than most modern sports sims on the market, resembling something more from the turn-of-the-century or straight out of a Super Nintendo. Whether or not this is good or bad will basically depend on your preference. The player 'photos' are cartoon-like images that may-or-may-not resemble the actual player, and the newspaper overlay actually reminds me of the old overlay you'd see in the post game in Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball.
Personally, I like the overlays and graphics because they engross you in a bit of a different world, but people who want Sidney Crosby to look like himself on every screen may have trouble finding the ultra-realism from the vanilla version of the game.
Pierre McGui.. I mean MacLeish shares his update
Where the realism does come into play, however, is the game's stats and simulation engine, which does a fine job of representing hockey as we know it to be. After running through months and months of games, the stats engine holds up pretty well, even when accounting for wacky changes and the whims of a "general manager" who might not know what he's doing.
There is very little 'gameplay' in terms of making decisions in the actual games. You simply select from some pre-game options, including lines, line-up, strategy and so on, and then click through a series of "Continue" prompts as the game stops in between periods and highlights. As long as you're not looking to watch a game like in Football Manager or be able to make multiple in-game decisions like in Out of the Park, the management and simulation experience in GM Hockey Legacy is strong.
There is an entire list of Team management options, as well as things I've never seen before in a hockey sim. The World Championships and Olympics are represented, you can look through stats from a variety of different screens, the team management and GM options are nicely separated and so on. There's even some option called "BigDeal Ramon corner' under the newspaper which might have something to do with prospects or maybe not -- I'm still not sure.
Overall, GM Hockey Legacy is a game that is going to greatly satisfy some and disappoint others, and the numbers for each side will basically be dependent on how many people are looking for a realistic simulation engine that really works, but may not necessarily be very pretty to look at or flashy in its presentation. If you're looking for something that is kind of a cross over between a text sim and a console game, this is not for you. If you're looking for something that has a lot of different simulation and scenario options and, for what it does, just works, then give this one a try.

Updated Features for WebSimHockey
June 27, 2011 - Updated Features from WebSimHockey.com
(As per WebSimHockey.com - Press Release)
Many new features
Since last fall, many new features were added to our site:
- Improved user interface
- Player types
- Trophies (individual and team)
- New "card" mode for to make it easy to view attributes
- New lineup page
- New strategy/practice module
- Multiple minor upgrades
These changes were requested by our community and have had a positive impact on our game as a whole. The continuous development of our simulator is one of our strengths and we are dedicated to this constant improvement. We know that we can count on you to suggest new ideas, as proven by the extensive list of suggestions you have already provided.
More new features to come!
In order to offer you a 2.0 version of Web Sim Hockey, the most wanted development according to our community members, we need to prepare the infrastructure of our site to make it ready for the latest technologies in web applications.
We have already started this process, and although it is a work in progress, we are able to confirm major additions in the coming year, including:
#1 - Community/GM Ranking Module
This module will allow GMs to manage all their teams using a central dashboard. You will have access to all the important team information in one place, with links redirecting you to wherever action needs to be taken.
A global messaging system and alerts will also be available for simplified management of your teams.
Obviously, the community aspects will be greatly enhanced with the ability to add friends, post comments on their pages, track the progress of their team, and much more.
Above all, this module will keep track of your activity. Primarily, you will see your achievements (trophies, various achievements, etc.), but also your weaker moments (expulsion of a league, voluntary replacements, etc.) Other community members will then be able to assess the quality of your work.
And finally, there will be global standings using GM ranking points that you accumulate throughout your seasons. Will you be the best Web Sim Hockey GM?
#2 - Tournament Module
This module will allow potential members to try Web Sim Hockey with a simplified, free version.
What is most interesting for you is that you will be able to play any of your teams in a global tournament. These tournaments will take place during the course of the regular season. Challenge the other GMs and beat the champions to become the ultimate Web Sim Hockey champion!
There will be tournaments of all kinds with different entry criteria: entry cost, minimum/maximum strength of a team, minimum GM ranking points, etc. Private, fully-customizable tournaments will also be available. The possibilities are endless!
#3 - Other new features
Big modules are fun, but taking care of the little details makes the difference. As has always been the case, since we are online, we will continue to improve the site by regularly implementing small but important updates.
250 leagues, 6,000 teams!
We are thrilled that 95% of our leagues and users are based in Quebec, Canada. It is now time for our English friends to discover our game and spread the word. Imagine where we will be when our Quebec members' excitement reaches the other provinces and countries!
We are very aware and appreciative of the faith you place in us and we will continue to earn that faith by giving you the best we have to offer so that you can continue to enjoy the best online simulated hockey game on the market.

1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers two general classes, WP and CR, of wrought ferritic, ferritic/austenitic, and martensitic stainless steel fittings of seamless and welded construction covered by the latest revision of Specification A 960. Fittings differing from these standards may be furnished in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S8.
1.1.1 Class WP fittings are subdivided into four subclasses: Classes WP-S, WP-W, WP-WX, and WP-WU. They are manufactured to the requirements of Specification A960, and they shall have pressure ratings compatible with 12.2 . Class WP-S fittings are those manufactured from seamless product by a seamless method of manufacture (marked with class symbol WP-S); Class WP-W fittings are those which contain welds where the fitting fabrication or construction welds have been radiographed (marked with class symbol WP-W); and Class WP-WX fittings are those which contain welds where all welds have been radiographed (marked with class symbol WP-WX); and Class WP-WU fittings are those which contain welds where all welds have been ultrasonically tested (marked with class symbol WP-WU).
1.1.2 Class CR fittings are those manufactured to the requirements of MSS SP-43, and they shall have pressure ratings compatible with 12.3.
1.2 This specification does not apply to cast fittings.
1.3 Optional supplementary requirements are provided. When desired, one or more of these may be specified in the order.
1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification designation [SI units], the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets.

New and unique to HRS! The HRS Exclusive Price.
The end of the "best prices" on the Internet which you can find everywhere. Several hundred hotels have decided to offer exclusively HRS prices which are at least 10% lower than all other travel websites on the Internet. How does it work?
The promise:
Participating hotels promise that their HRS Exclusive Price is at least 10% cheaper than that offered for the same booking through any other online provider with identical conditions. The only exception to this is the hotel's own Web site and its own sales channels. Here, the hotel guarantees that its price on HRS will be at least as low. For this reason, the guarantee only applies to comparable online offers:
The offer must be for a room of equal value in the hotel you already booked - naturally for the same arrival and departure dates and subject to the same conditions as those under which you make your booking on HRS.
Please therefore check again that everything matches:
- Same arrival and departure date?
- Same room category?
- Same meal plan (e.g. breakfast)?
- Same payment conditions (e.g. prepayment, payment only at the hotel)?
- Same information on the currency and taxes/fees (e.g. value-added tax, service tax included)?
- Same cancellation conditions?
The guarantee does not apply to the following in particular:
- with which payment is required upon booking or before you travel, since with HRS you always pay at the hotel - there is no prepayment with us!
- Bookings for which different cancellation conditions apply, because on HRS you can often cancel your booking right up to the day of arrival. Please therefore check your booking confirmation.
- Bookings that are subject to certain conditions (e.g. minimum stays, minimum guest numbers, specific catering or package services).
- which are not publicly accessible to everyone.
Click here to find out more about the promise in detail.
Every promise is only as good as its fulfilment. With HRS hotels keep to their word. For this reason: Let us know if the promise for an identical booking with exactly the same conditions is not complied with.
For each night that the promise is not complied with you will receive €20 per room/night. If the difference between the room price with HRS and another website is more than €20 per room/night, the hotel will, of course, refund you this difference. Guaranteed!
The refund will be done by the hotel when the bill is presented, unless the reservation has been cancelled.
You will find the request form here

DUBUQUE – Megan McVey (So.-Fort Worth, Texas) tied a season high in kills for the third time this season and the Iowa Wesleyan College volleyball team opened Midwest Collegiate Conference play with an impressive three-set sweep of Clarke College Wednesday night.
The Tigers defeated the Crusaders by scores of 25-20, 25-18 and 25-19, improving to 6-3 on the season and also avenging a tough five-set loss to Clarke last season in conference. IWC also picked up a critical road win to start a conference season off that opens with two early road matches but will later include four of the final six conference regular season matches at home.
McVey led the team with 16 kills, reaching that mark for the third time this season. The sophomore posted a .382 hitting percentage with just three hitting errors, as the Tigers posted a .215 hitting percentage in an efficient performance over the Crusaders (4-6 overall, 0-1 MCC).
IWC won the opener by breaking free at the end of a close first set. The teams were tied at 17-17 before the Tigers scored five straight points which included three errors by the Crusaders. Clarke never got closer than four the rest of the set, and Allegra Tennis (Jr.-Madison, Wis.) closed out the set with a kill.
The second and third sets saw the Tigers take control midway through both sets, both times making runs to wipe out early Crusader leads. Clarke led 10-8 in both sets, but Wesleyan scored nine of the next 10 points in the second set on its way to victory. IWC also put together a 7-1 run in the third set to pull ahead, and B.J. Wagy (Jr.-Cedar Rapids, Iowa) put the ball away on a kill to close out the match.
Katie Jammer (Jr.-Green Bay, Wis.) had seven kills and was part of a balanced attack behind McVey that included Wagy finishing with six kills, Tennis posting five kills and Brittany Janz (Jr.-Tonica, Ill.) with four kills. Kendra Zimmerman (Jr.-Green Bay, Wis.) had 34 assists and Katie Leidl (Sr.-Esterhazy, Saskatchewan) led the team with 20 digs. Tennis also led the team with six blocks (five assisted).
Clarke was led by Abby Nauman with 11 kills. The Crusaders won last year's meeting in Mount Pleasant in five sets and had defeated the Tigers each of the past two years.
Wesleyan will look to go to 2-0 in MCC play when it travels to Forest City for its next match next Wednesday against Waldorf College at 7 p.m. IWC will then come home for its home opener when it faces Ashford University on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. at Ruble Arena.

I've been a member of youtube for a year now and love the acoustic video's --and yes I have seen a few Avalons on there infact more than a few--I hopeing to get a couple of video's of my new songs on there soon'
And yes I can't agree more Avalon should have it's own channel-- well done mutley great idea--As I've said on this forum before I'd love to hear more avalonites play.It quite simple to upload your songs onto youtube or myspace--I put my demos unto myspace and got terrific feedback from people all over the world.
Sadly they are demo's with lots of work to be done before they go onto my new CD "Two Yellow Crains" but I think it's important to see and hear yourself playing/preforming-- infact it's very important you have a goal and let other people hear those tunes/songs.
So it's time for the Avalon Army to go to war--from that small workshop in Newtownards we can take over the world in the nicest possible way--This Avalonite is ready for ACTION

Adkins' Attorney: Investigators Not Focused on Finding Hailey
By: Austin Kellerman
Updated: March 24, 2011
A letter from attorney C. Barrett Thomas of Abilene says Shawn Adkins has continued to speak with law enforcement despite the attorney's advice. Thomas says Adkins believes in his heart that cooperation is the "key to solving Hailey's disappearance."
Adkins is the former boyfriend of Hailey Dunn's mother.
The letter goes on to say it's clear law enforcement isn't interested in cooperation or exploring possibilities beyond Adkins being the guilty party. Thomas says investigators have found time to search and research Adkins and his family. However, Thomas notes law enforcement has called off the search for Hailey.
Thomas says law enforcement has made allegations of illegal pornographic material but has failed to provide evidence or make an arrest.
The letter goes on to say the greatest hope of Thomas and Adkins is that law enforcement turns its investigation back towards finding Hailey.
Hailey Dunn went missing on December 27, 2010. Adkins is believed to have been the last person to see the 13-year-old.

Attorney Michael Kennedy says a plea bargain and a two year prison sentence is the right thing for his client, Brian Downing.
"What started off as what seemed like a harmless drunken prank has snowballed into a really bad situation for a lot of people," Kennedy explained. "This was a regrettable mistake."
Under the deal, the lawyer says, Downing faces having to serve about ten months behind bars. Kennedy says they key for his client was not having to register as a convicted sex offender.
"He could never go to parent / teacher conferences. He could never go to a little league game," the attorney said. "That was just too big of a risk. While his son will not remember that daddy went to jail for ten months, he would remember if something went wrong, and his father was never able to be there."
Kennedy says Downing plead to the obscenity charge to avoid facing a trial where he could have been convicted of sexual battery and had to register the rest of his life as a sex offender.
The video of Downing's crime shot at the Krystal Burger on Bourbon Street went viral on the Internet after it the incident.

AB 241: Human Dignity MUST Start at the Front Doorstep
My story is only one amongst many, in which the domestic worker was a major source of strength, and the voice of reason for the family they worked for. I have come to learn how this is often the case with other workers, however the blessing of their presence is usually not acknowledged. What I hope to see happen with domestic workers is that like my grandfather, they too have their humanity more seen and respected by society.

Consumer Reviews of PEERLESS boilers

"This Company and its Products are a JOKE"
New home constructed in 2004 and equipped with a Pinnacle boiler. Within 3 months, it failed and was rebuilt under warranty. Next year, it failed again and this time it was replaced with another Pinnacle. When it failed a year later it was replaced with a Purefire, which worked well for about two years, and then the cycle began again. The last repair bill a month ago was more than a third the cost of a new one. And, it has failed again! I am now replacing it with a different brand, but the reviews on them are not much better than the performance I've experienced with the Peerless Junk.
Location: MN
Satisfaction Rating:
"JUNK! Do no buy! Igniter fails weekly."
I signed up just to chime in, and am hoping that perhaps some kind of lawsuit will be brought against this company. We purchased our home this past Summer, and our first winter has been nothing but a cold, cold nightmare as the unit continuously suffers from an ignition failure. I have learned to clean the igniter, and that usually helps, but it is still failing constantly. Do not purchase these units.
Location: MA
Satisfaction Rating:
"Worst ever!"
The Peerless Pinnacle gas fired boiler was going to be efficient. Professionally installed in 2003 October. Heated house that Winter. Broke down October 2004. Could find no heating company to perform repair. Peerless would not do anything to make get unit running, it was under warranty. Finally, removed it, installed an oil fired boiler (not Peerless) and this one has been perfect for 8 years with only routine cleaning. Very poor company. This cost me a lot due to re-installing and oil tank, the cost of the bigger gas line initially, etc. I will NEVER buy a Peerless boiler. If you like Peerless, I will sell you this $2,000 unit cheap. In MA. $500 takes it.

"2 cracked boilers in 16 years"
I installed a new Peerless steam boiler in 1996, it cracked in 2004. The warranty only covered the cracked section and it cost more for a plumber to breakdown the boiler and replace the section than it cost to buy a new model. The second new boiler cracked 8 years later in the same place that the first boiler cracked. I have been fighting with Peerless for 3 months and they claim that hard water is the cause. Do no buy a Peerless steam boiler, the company does not stand behind its products.
Location: Valparaiso,Indiana
Satisfaction Rating:
"Absolute junk"
This product is junk. I Was told by Peerless Tech support they have never encountered the problem I am having. But reading other reviews it is common. When the outside temp gets cold I have to replace the igniter 5-6 times a winter. We have replaced virtually everything on this unit and it's only 7 years old. The standard error we get is f09. I would participate in any action against Peerless to get this resolved.

"Piece of cra####"
Do not buy this brand. I got 1 year trouble-free then replaced all sensors, motherboard, harness and all wiring to control panel. Now constant f-09. Unable to take vacation for 6 years as pipes will freeze when I am away. No more this summer out this crap goes and in with a viessman. Will not buy another North American manufacturer of condensing boilers as they are mostly second rate obsolete technology with lazy r&d and sh#t service.

"Constant part failure"
I have two model P-199's for my apartment building. I love the efficiency, newer had better. But I've lost all the savings on my gas bill keeping the things running. Something fails every 6 months, and parts are absurdly expensive. I would have been better off heating my place by burning candles.
Location: Richmond Hill, NY

"Purefire P-210"
Installed this costly unit two years ago - after 2 years the blower failed - new blower part cost $560.00 plus labor, lasted all of two weeks and broke down. Wonder how long the new part will last. Old furnaces lasted 25 years without problems. buyer beware. Do not listen to people who have this less than two years. Did not realize such unreliable product could be sold in the US.

"I HATE this thing"
Installed at the recommendation of hvac guy 6 years ago. It has gotten progressively worse every season - nothing but f09 error codes (flame sensor). The cover was taken off so many times in the first few years the screws are stripped. Every service call resulted in the same... hit the reset.. clean the sensor.. nothing ever goes wrong with these - right. This year the error codes were up to once a week then once a day.. You cannot reach the company other than by email - no response. Our hvac people (who suggested replacing all the sensors - done, then figured it's the control panel) got us the number for Quality Sales who is a company rep. They came out (almost a two hour drive each way, won't that be a nice bill). He said it just needed cleaning inside so he took it apart and also found a broken ceramic collar that was broken. Cleaned it, replace the collar and all was well for about 8 whole days!!! No f09 - until last night. I is now flashing about every 2 hours. I never thought I would sign up for something just so I could say something but very interesting to see so many posts with the same problem - guess there's a reason Peerless won't publish their phone number.

We put this furance in our house in 2006 since then we have had our plumbing/heating man at our house at least once a year. Gone without heat for a week in the middle of winter in NE Pennsylvania waiting for parts from manufactor. Blah! Always need to pull parts out and shop vac debris, the flap that stops things from going in fell apart and went through the fan and broke the fan a $700 part plus labor, replaced sensors, and this year a new power panel that runs it. And a high electric bill for running space heaters. Loved spending my day today going into the basement for over 3 hrs just to get the damn thing to light. Finally after hitting the re-fire button over 30 times I have heat now that the house is in the 50's in January. Don't buy this peerless boiler!!!! It was rated high eff. yeah maybe if it worked so now it will be one for hours just to get the temp back up. This is the last winter it will be in our home. In total we have spent over $1,500 in repair bills

Rushing to their windows, they saw two, double bladed, black helicopters flying towards the sighting location. This will no doubt get even weirder when I tell you that I, myself, have seen these helicopters on a number of occasions over the last few months. In-fact I've been spotting them so frequently that a couple of weeks ago I decided to start keeping a camera on the windowsill, and yesterday afternoon when I returned home from MR G's, I managed to get a photo of one.

"I'm really after that connection with the audience. And, I believe that as someone continues to use a piece, it builds a history. You think, 'Oh, the last time I took this out, we had a great dinner party.' Or, 'I always get this out when the entire family is gathered around the table.'"
