July 5 – Happy Birthday Curt Blefary
It took eight years but the New York Yankees finally gave up on their trouble-prone first baseman, Joe Pepitone. When they did, New York traded the Brooklyn born slugger they signed out of high school for another Brooklyn born slugger they signed out of high school. The deal took place between the Yankees and Astros and the new guy was Curt Blefary. Nicknamed "Clank," Blefary became a great high school ballplayer in Mahwah, NJ. The Yankees gave him an $18,000 bonus to sign and agreed to pay his college tuition. Like Pepitone, Blefary came with some baggage, lots of cockiness and a very hot temper. It might have been the reason New York's front office did not do everything it could to protect Blefary from being stolen by the Orioles in what was known as a first-year waivers transaction.
He quickly worked his way through the Orioles system and joined the Big Birds in 1965. He enjoyed immediate success, belting 22 home runs, driving in 70 and beating out the Angel pitcher, Marcellino Lopez for that season's AL Rookie of the Year Award. Originally a catcher, he was converted into an outfielder in Minor League ball but he also caught and played some first base with Baltimore. He was not very good defensively at any of those spots.
He helped the Birds capture the 1966 World Series with a solid sophomore season and then had his third straight 20-HR year in '67 while also driving in a career-high 81 runs that year. But when his batting average fell to .212 in 1968, the new Orioles' manager, Earl Weaver told the press that Blefary would have to compete for a starting position in 1969. Curt's resulting complaining probably helped get him traded to the Astros in the deal that brought Mike Cuellar to Baltimore.
Blefary played one season in Houston and had an OK year but the spacious Astrodome was not conducive to his left-handed pulling stroke. Astro manager, Harry Walker tried to convince his new outfielder to hit to all fields but as usual, Blefary resisted the advice.
So the December 4, 1969 trade of Pepitone for Blefary was a case in which each team was sort of getting rid of a "problem personality." The big difference was that Pepi really did not want to leave Yankee Stadium and Blefary couldn't wait to get there. The old Stadium's right field porch was perfect for Blefary's swing and he had hit bunches of home runs (12) when he played there as a visitor with Baltimore. Unfortunately, he did not produce the same results as a member of the home team. He hit just .212 with nine home runs in 99 games during his first season as a Yankee. After an even worse start the following year, he was traded to the A's for pitcher Rob Gardner.
Blefary shares his July 5th birthday with this Hall of Famer who became one of the Yankee's greatest relievers and this one-time Yankee starting pitcher from the 1930′s.

VANCOUVER — An immigration hearing for an alleged organized crime boss is pulling back the curtain on the murky world of Asian triads and the ties that bind them to Canada.
Seventeen years after Lai Tong Sang stepped off a plane in Vancouver, Canada Border Services Agency is asking the Immigration and Refugee Board to find him in admissible on the grounds that he has ties to organized crime.
An investigation into stolen vehicles being shipped overseas for sale first alerted British Columbia law enforcement officials that a major player in the Macau underworld had landed on their shores, Patrick Fogarty, the former superintendent of the Co-ordinated Law Enforcement Unit told the board Tuesday.
A wiretap in that 1996 investigation captured a conversation about a contract taken out on Lai's life.
"During the initial phases of Project Bamboo, evidence was brought to my attention of a group that we were investigating taking a contract from Hong Kong to locate and kill (Lai)," testified Fogarty, a veteran police officer and expert in Asian organized crime.
Fogarty said the players being asked by someone in Hong Kong to organize the hit were Wilson Wong and Simon Chow, who were key members of the so-called 14K gang in Vancouver.
"Fortunately for us, Wilson was not much aware of what was going on with a gang war in Macau and this person explained there was a war between the Chipped Tooth (gang) and Lai."
"The person in Hong Kong was asking if Simon (Chow) would take the contract. It would put him in good favour if he would take the contact," Fogarty said under questioning from Becky Chan, the lawyer for Canada Border Services Agency.
Wiretaps later captured the head of the 14K gang and his right-hand man discussing HK$1 million contract.
"In my world, a contact means to kill," Fogarty said. "If it's a contract to break somebody's legs they actually qualify that."
With nothing but the prefix of a cellphone number, Wilson — the man Fogarty described as the No.2 man for 14K in Vancouver — began a flurry of activity to find Lai.
"It was clearly established that from the perspective of these particular individuals operating in Vancouver that Tong Sang Lai was the head of the Shui Fong, the Water Room gang," Fogarty said.
"Nobody knows the underworld like the underworld."
CBSA is seeking to have Lai and the rest of his family declared inadmissible on the grounds that they misrepresented material facts in their applications for permanent residency.
Board adjudicator noted that Lai has already filed a challenge under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in relation to the agency's attempt to remove him for links to organized crime.

"Very Nice Accommodations. Breakfast? Not So Much."
Reviewed May 20, 2013
sssster | New Haven, Connecticut
This place is only 3 years old and is in great shape. It's clean. Everything works. The staff are really pleasant. The location is very convenient to the highway and is less than 0.5 mile from Lakeline Mall, so there's shopping and restaurants nearby. It's a good thing there are restaurants at the mall, because breakfast here was disappointing and the breakfast area was overcrowded to the point of folks having to eat in the lobby. We opted to drive the half mile down the road and have a decent breakfast for a reasonable price at Panera Bread. Other than that, the place is great and we'd certainly stay here again.

We stayed one night in late march (Monday night) and booked through booking.com for US$119. This was for a "2 bedroom suite" and included breakfast. We were travelling with 2 adults and 2 young children (5+3) so appreciated the larger rooms over a hotel. Although states 2 bedroom, it really is a 1 bedroom - one massive bedroom and then a pull out in the lounge area. The King bed in main bedroom was very comfortable and rooms were modern and clean. Good showers too. We did have issue in first room we were given, the toilet would not flush well, they got someone to try fix and when we tried again, still very low pressure.. so they eventually moved us. Wasn't 100% happy with the receptions attitude of this but in end we were happy in new room with a toilet that worked! Was a little way out of central Austin but much better value than ones there! Breakfast was average and great its included in the price. Also given some cookies on check in which was nice. From memory, we had free (but slow) wireless internet.

"great value hotel"

very helpful and friendly staff... check in easy and quick? check out just as easy and quick as the check-in? the building seems about only 3 years old, looks very new all the construction... All installations and amenities working just fine, the look and feel is very modern, hi-tech locks in guest rooms help a lot to avoid the trouble of opening doors when you got your hands busy? It is a great stay in general... A word of warning for those who do not like pets: the hotel is pet friendly... I loved that the entire hotel is a Non-smoking area? you need to leave the property in order to light a cigarette? I loved not having to deal with the tobacco smell?!!!

"Hidden Treasure"
Reviewed May 12, 2013
A La Quinta traveler |
Tucked back in the recesses of North Austin, this little gem is worth a bit of a drive downtown. Quiet location, modern decor, exceptionally clean, and wonderful staff! The beds are pillowtop and extremely comfortable. The pull out desk was a hidden treasure in the room. It gave more work space to an already abundant amount of desk space. For a working guest, this can't be more convenient.

"A fine first impression of La Quinta."
Reviewed May 9, 2013
gottamove34 | Michigan
This place is easy to find off 183, however I prefer the northbound Lake Creek exit instead of the northbound Lakeline Mall exit. The Lake Creek exit takes a little longer, but it's a much easier merge and lane change. Check-in was ideally smooth, I got my single king room. The keys are NFC so you just place your card close to the sensor above your lock. The beds felt like pillow-top mattresses and one of the softer beds I've enjoyed over the years. Even with all the dogs that stay here, my sleep was a 5/5. I did not use the microwave and compact refrigerator, but I'm grateful they're there, especially the refrigerator. The desk has a nice feature, a second table which rolls out from the main desk, enabling you to better pack/unpack and organize your stay. While I'm talking about the desk, just to be safely supplied, you may want to bring your own Ethernet cord if you need one for the corded internet service. The full length mirror is also the door to the closet, a clever design. The closet could use a better hanger system due to the tall but narrow space. The bathroom was a nice change-up for standard hotel bathrooms. There was a very dependable shower with a floor that consistently drained well with little to no standing water. Overall, a great first visit to La Quinta. If this is how it goes, then this is a great location. Ample stores and restaurants nearby, pet-friendly (makes me want to get another dog), a nice new location and staff made this stay nice and easy.

20 Things You May Not Know About Meteorologist Ashley Dougherty
AD 814: Charlemagne, the founder of the first empire in western Europe after the fall of Rome, dies at age 71 in his capital city of Aachen, now the westernmost city in Germany. He had taken to his bed a week earlier with pleurisy, an inflammation of the lining of the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs. Charlemagne (seen here to the right, mounted on a horse and wearing a crown) became king of the Franks, a Germanic tribe in present-day Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and western Germany, in AD 771 and worked to unite all Germanic people into one kingdom and to convert his subjects to Christianity. After Pope Leo III crowned him emperor of the Romans in AD 800, he encouraged the Carolingian Renaissance, a cultural and intellectual revival in Europe. During his 13-year reign as emperor, Charlemagne expanded his kingdom into an empire that incorporated much of western and central Europe, earning the nickname "Father of Europe."

American College of Cardiology Foundation
A 63-year-old woman was admitted with acute aortic dissection (AAD), retrograde type B. Although aggressive blood pressure lowering by medical therapies was performed, hepatic enzymes elevated remarkably on hospital day 2. Computed tomography showed hepatic hypoperfusion in a broad area (A and B, arrows) caused by extension of AAD to the celiac artery (arrowheads). Angiograms showed pulsatile lumen narrowing of the right hepatic artery (C, arrow, Online Video 1) and no development of collateral flow. Intravascular ultrasonography images revealed that false lumen compressed the true lumen between the celiac trunk and right hepatic artery (C, arrowheads, Online Video 2). After implantation of 2 self-expandable stents (7/40 mm and 10/40 mm), angiograms showed improvement of right hepatic artery flow. Intravascular ultrasonography revealed obliterated false lumen by the stents in the true lumen (D, Online Videos 3 and 4). Hepatic failure recovered after endovascular procedures. Endovascular stenting for main branches may be an effective treatment strategy for AAD involving crucial organs.

A private vehicle with English speaking driver will provide a transfer between Rabat and Fes. During the transfer, explore the Imperial City of Meknes along with the Roman city of Volubilis. In antiquity, Volubilis was an important Roman town situated near the westernmost border of Roman Empire. It was built on the site of a previous Carthaginian settlement from the third century BC. Volubilis was the administrative center of the province in Roman Africa called Mauretania Tingitana. The fertile lands of the province produced many commodities such as grain and olive oil, which were exported to Rome, contributing to the province's wealth and prosperity.

Bellator 81 winner Marlon Sandro says no more promises – 'time to get the work done'
by Matt Erickson on Nov 19, 2012 at 12:20 pm ET
Sandro (23-4 MMA, 6-2 BFC) this past May dropped his second straight featherweight tournament final, and there were questions of whether the 35-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt had enough left to compete at the championship levels.
Sandro tried to give his best answer to that when he put Dustin Neace (23-19 MMA, 0-1 BFC) to sleep at Bellator 81.
Bellator 81 took place at the Ryan Center at The University of Rhode Island in Kingston, with a main card, including Sandro-Neace, on MTV2.
Sandro said before the fight he was hoping a win would propel him with some momentum into Bellator's next featherweight tournament. Afterward, Sandro said he had gone back to the drawing board after his May loss to Daniel Straus in the Season 6 featherweight tournament finals.
"I did what I said I'd do," Sandro told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I worked harder on my jiu-jitsu, and it showed. In my previous fight, Daniel Straus took my back – and that really rubbed me the wrong way. After all, jiu-jitsu was my first martial art, not boxing or muay Thai. I feel it's my obligation to have a good ground game.
"This time, I did it well and got the submission. (Neace) even threatened my foot, but I knew how to deal with that. I knew how to escape, and how to take his back."
Now Sandro can turn his attention to what comes next. But instead of having a revenge-seeking mentality for his loss to Straus or his knockout loss to current champ Pat Curran in the Season 4 tournament finals, Sandro has changed his stance.
Sure, he'd like to have a chance to get those losses back. And one day, he still may. But right now, it's all about improvement and working just to get back to another tournament final – next time with a different outcome.
"I had it in my head that I needed to avenge my loss to Curran, since he's the first and only fighter to knock me out," he said. "(But) nowadays, I'm thinking differently. I'm thinking forward. If we face each other again, I'll seek to improve my training to defeat either one of them. But what I want for now is continue winning and win the title, God willing."
"I'll train and improve. I'll stop promising things now because I've done enough of that. Now it's time to get the work done."
Check out highlights of Sandro's submission of Neace, as well as the rest of the Bellator 81 main card, in the video above.

Making the rounds this morning in the econoblogosphere, Bruce Bartlett dissects presidential candidate Mike Huckabee's preferred method of taxing everybody in the U.S. in Why the Fair Tax Won't Work (HT: Greg Mankiw, Mike Moffatt). The key points, as we see them:
Here's where that's wrong. The fair tax is nothing more or less than a national sales tax. Like every other sales tax, it's a percentage of the price of the item against which it's levied. The additional 30 cents you pay is 30% of the $1.00 price of the item, so you're really paying a tax of 30%.
While tax policy is definitely Bruce's forté, we would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge that he has a new book coming out on January 8: Wrong on Race: The Democratic Party's Buried Past - Bruce's blog post expanding upon his December 24, 2007 Wall Street Journal op-ed offers a preview of his venture into the history of the U.S. Democratic Party's views on race from the earliest days of the nation through the run-up to 2008's presidential election.

Political Calculations' U.S. GDP Temperature Gauge provides a means to quickly evaluate the growth rate of the U.S. economy against the backdrop of how the economy has performed since 1980, with the "temperature" color spectrum ranging from a recessionary "cold" (purple) through an expansionary "hot" (red).
The GDP Temperature Gauge presents both the annualized GDP growth rate as reported by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reports for a one-quarter period and also as averaged over a two quarter period, which smooths out the volatility seen in the one-quarter data and provides a better indication of the relative strength of the U.S. economy over time.

An estimated crowd of about 100 people attended a retirement luncheon Oct. 10 at the Douglas Visitors Center for Douglas Police Chief Alberto Melis who is retiring this Friday following five years in Douglas and 40 years in law enforcement.
The Chief said he has thoroughly enjoyed his time in Douglas and working with the men and women of the Douglas Police Department.
"You have to enjoy what you do," he said. "This is a great city; great town and I love the people. I intend to come back and visit."
The Chief said he has really enjoyed being chief of such a fine department and feels he is leaving it in very good hands with Lieutenant Kraig Fullen acting as interim chief until a permanent replacement is found.
"If they (the city council) choose from within they can't go wrong," Chief Melis said. "It will be in good hands for the interim period and I have ultimate faith in Carlos De la Torre that he will make the right choice for the city."
When asked what he was going to miss most about the Douglas the Chief wasted little time in replying "the people."
"I will (also) miss the men and women of this department more than any department I've ever worked with," he said. "It's been a great five years."
At last weeks luncheon various members from different law enforcement agencies around Douglas and Cochise County were on hand to honor Chief Melis and present him with some kind of token of appreciation.
City Manager De la Torre thanked the chief for his service and commitment to the citizens of Douglas.
"He allowed the people in the Douglas Police Department the opportunity to do their jobs but most importantly he trusted them," De la Torre said. "You and your wife have blended very well into the community. … Douglas is and will always be your home."
Lieutenant Fullen said in his remarks that change is the probably most evil word especially in law enforcement.
"One of the most anxious moments in an officers life is when there's a change at the top and that's the chief," Fullen said. "Five years ago we went through that experience. … I was anxious when he came in … but he quickly put my mind at ease and the rest of the agencies mind at ease."
Lieutenant Hugo Valenzuela also thanked the Chief for his support.
"I want to thank you for your leadership, your dedication to service and your mentorship," Valenzuela said.
Scott Brown, deputy special agent in charge for the Department of Homeland Security in Phoenix, was in Douglas for the event. Brown used to work with Chief Melis and members of the DPD when he was assigned to Douglas.
"I wanted to thank the chief from the Cochise County law enforcement community," he said.
Jose Montano, representing the Douglas Border Patrol also thanked Chief Melis for his support the past five years and congratulated him on his upcoming retirement.
Matt Tank the acting supervisor agent in charge for the Sierra Vista office of the FBI, echoed the words of the other law enforcement agencies thanking Chief Melis for his service in working with the FBI and also congratulating him on his retirement.
Douglas' Mayor Danny Ortega Jr. said Chief Melis has done a great job for the City of Douglas.
"He has been a fine representative and helped the department become more active and play a more positive role in the community," he said. "There will be some big shoes to fill. He will truly be missed."

Although somewhat unexpected, the election of Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio to succeed Benedict XVI has the air of a safe, compromise decision.
At age 76, he does not have the physical vibrancy and personal dynamism that a younger man might have brought to Rome. Vatican watchers did not consider Bergoglio a front-runner and his name was not considered in speculation, even as the previously unimaginable selection of an American was widely discussed in the Italian media.
Pope Francis, as Cardinal Bergoglio, was known as a doctrinal conservative. His emphasis on solidarity with the poor is in line with a turning away in some respects from structural criticism, favored by some in the church.
His selection represents an obvious reorientation of the church to the global south, but it does not signify the possibility of doctrinal change related to contraception, abortion or same-sex marriage -- and within the church itself on matters of priestly celibacy or women's ordination. These issues have increasingly set the church in conflict with a rapidly secularizing West.
Pope Francis hails from the church's growth regions in the developing world, and he can be expected to be attuned to the concerns of developing nations and their problems of inequity and human deprivation. Pope Francis is of Italian stock and was raised in a thoroughly Europeanized culture. That should put some of the cardinals, fearful of an overly thorough reform, at ease, despite the widespread feeling that "something" dramatic had to be done to reform the management of the Vatican and reduce the opacity of its financial infrastructure and sputtering bureaucracy.
During his papacy, Pope Benedict urged the establishment of a global governing institution that could mitigate the worst excesses of economic and political globalization. The choice of the name "Francis," after St. Francis of Assisi, suggests this pope will make it a priority to attend to the crying need of the global poor, those left behind by the free market's genius for wealth creation and its unfortunate tendency to deposit that wealth in a diminishing number of hands. No fan of Latin America's experiments with liberation theology, he has nonetheless proven to be a staunch defender of Latin American poor against the powerful economic and political forces that have assailed them.
He'll likely offer a more pastoral face to the papacy even as, based on his past criticism of the global economic order, he is likely to continue Pope Benedict's skepticism of unrestrained free market policies.
"We live in the most unequal part of the world, which has grown the most, yet reduced misery the least," Bergoglio said during a gathering of Latin American bishops in 2007. "The unjust distribution of goods persists, creating a situation of social sin that cries out to heaven and limits the possibilities of a fuller life for so many of our brothers."
Despite his reputation as an austere intellectual, as cardinal, Pope Francis showed a deft personal touch, visiting with the Argentine church's most vulnerable people, the poor and people suffering from AIDS. He has called for more pastoral care of divorced Catholics, and he memorably castigated Argentine priests who refused baptism to the child of an unwed mother as "today's hypocrites."
"Those who clericalize the church," he said, "Those who separate the people of God from salvation. And this poor girl, who, rather than returning the child to sender, had the courage to carry it into the world, must wander from parish to parish so that it's baptized!"

The P-40 Warhawk saw action in many theatres in WW2, including the Mediterranean, North Africa and the Pacific where it was used as both a fighter and more successfully as a ground attack aircraft. Most famously, the P-40 was used by the Chinese Flying Tiger squadron flown by US pilots, the success of this squadron against the Japanese airforce in China, even against the feared Zero, made them household names around the world.
This P-40 Warhawk is simply huge for a foam model! Being EPO, it is as tough as you would expect but at the same time, the moulded detailing is simply amazing. Despite it's size, this Warhawk should be easy to transport with it's removable 1pc wing and removable tailplane. The plastic moulded part details, like the very scale exhaust stubs, 3 blade prop/spinner, bomb cradle, .50 Cal machine guns, cockpit detail just go on and on and make for a stunning scale model.
The list of working features is equally impressive, pre-fitted split flaps, pre-fitted nagivation lights, superb twist and turn electric retracts that feature sprung legs and large rubber tires which like the retracting tailwheel, are also pre-fitted. The landing gear is linked to a sequencer for the U/C doors for that final scale touch. We have been extensively involved in the development of this stunning P-40N and the end result is a not just a scale model to be proud of but also a superb flying model that looks every bit as good in the air as on the ground. This P-40 is a must for warbird fans and is so easy to fly it is also a great choice for the intermediate pilot looking to move up in scale, as the saying goes "the bigger they are, the better they fly" and they don't fly any better than this beauty!

"unhappy in va."
Had new system put in less than 5 years ago. New gas furnace with heat pump, gas to be emergency heat. worked fine until this year and the compressor went out. Had 10 year warranty but labor not included. Installer wants $1200.00 dollars to replace. I think I could replace the unit for that. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.

"Exceptional product, great service"
Replaced dead builder grade A/C unit in 11 year old two story, 3000 sq foot home (old, single unit was pushed to the limit in summer) Got 4 competitive bids (Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem), installed Rheem RPQL048JEZ Heat Pump and matched it with a new RGRM10EZAJS high efficiency (95%) furnace. Specifically requested new Rheem A coil (instead of Aspen, or off brand) allowing us to take advantage of Rheem's extended 10 year replacement warranty for all components (no extra cost - it pays to read the fine print). Federal Tax rebate ($1500) and local Heat Pump incentive ($600) saved us lots of money. Couldn't be happier. Flawless performance so far. Dramatically lower heating and cooling costs, quiet operation, better "conditioned" air (AprilAire whole house humidifier). Impressive air flow! Bedroom on the 2nd floor with lot's of windows facing west (afternoon summer sun) was a real challenge to cool with old unit. The Rheem can actually chill the room on a 100 degree day. Only hiccup was a buggy new Honeywell Thermostat, but the local installer replaced at no charge.

"Bad air"
From Day one this unit gave us trouble.. When we switche the unit form heating to cooling we have to have it manually switched over and somettimes during the winter the outside unit would shut off all together and run the inside heat strips running my light bills up into $600-650.00 They have replaced three circut boards and two motors on the outside unit and two motors on the inside unit.. All together I have 16 repair oreders after 2 and 1/2 yrs of this unit being put in I will never buy this brand again or anything made from this company

"My First Heat Pump"
I currently have a Rheem heat pump in my home and since this is my first home away from my parents' house, this is the first heat pump I have had to deal with. I am not sure when the previous owners had it installed, but I have had no problems since moving on one year ago. Having a heat pump is very advantageous in the summer months and even the spring and fall because it cuts down on the electric bill. It keeps keeps the house cool or warm depending on the weather. It even works efficiently during most of the winter months. The only disadvantage to a heat pump is on those cold winters where the temperature drops below freezing. In my area we usually don't have more than a months worth of these days, but this past winter was very bitter. Since we would turn the heat down when we went to work, it would take some time to warm back up once we got home. I would definitely recommend this brand to a friend in this area. It has certainly met my needs and I have had no problems as far as the way it works.

"I love my Rheem 15PJL Series."
Four years ago, when I bought my first house, I needed a heat pump. I bought a Rheem 15PJL Series heat pump with tips from my father. I am in love with it. My house stays warm all winter, and it saves me so much money. I've had it for 4 years and I have never needed a repair or replacement. I couldn't ask for more from this heat pump. I recommend this to anyone that needs a heat pump. Rheem is the best. The quality is unbeatable!
Satisfaction Rating:
"An average heat pump"
Although I have not owned the heat pump for very long, only about three months, I already know from my experiences that it is a very dependable pump. There are no major downsides but it doesn't do anything above and beyond what a regular heat pump would do. Though there are no real customizable functions on the heat pump, however it was all of the features that are listed on the product's page that attracted to buy me. As far as I can see, these all have worked so far. Of course, I haven't tried to use it for much more than the basic functions so my knowledge about this is limited. So far I have not had to make any repairs, nor do I see any signs of a repair being necessary any time soon. This brand was recommended to me by a friend and I, in turn, have also recommended it to a friend of mine when her previous heat pump broke.
Satisfaction Rating:
"Solid and Effective"
I have owned my heat pump for the last year and it has been a good heat pump. This heat pump will get the job done effectively most of the time. However, there were a few occasions where the pump did not kick in right away and took a few extra seconds to work properly. I have not had my heat pump repaired after my 1 year of use. I would probably buy the same heat pump again unless someone offered me a comparable quality heat pump for a cheaper price. I would definitely recommend this heat pump to a friend, but I would tell my friend to shop around to see if they could possibly find something better. However, I think they would have a difficult time finding something better if you combine the quality and cost effectiveness of this heat pump. A good product at a good price!
Satisfaction Rating:
"The Best Friend of the Winter"
We just installed this heat pump last winter. Our other one had broken and we were without heat for almost a week. Hence the name I put on this review and let me tell you, I will never go without heat again! I love this as its quiet. When it clicks on you would never know. I doubt I could find anything I don't like about it. The thing runs smooth and purrs like a kitten. The one I had before this was similar, I couldn't tell you if it was the same but I would imagine replacing them would be the same so I would have to say it's probably really difficult to replace this bad boy if you ever needed to. Oh I would indeed recommend this to a friend. I've not had a problem with this one and it runs smoothly without a bump or hiccup. A plus all the way!

Honeywell, Wood Group offer turbine control solution
Honeywell is expanding its relationship with energy products and services leader Wood Group Turbine Control Services to offer a turbine control system for the global power industry. The Turbine Control System, in conjunction with the Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), is an integrated solution containing technology from both Honeywell and Wood Group that automates power plants to improve operator efficiency and safety, reduce maintenance costs and streamline overall production.
Honeywell and Wood Group have worked together in North America since 2003 to deliver an automated turbine control system that meets the evolving needs of the power-generation industry. The two companies have used their domain expertise and global reach to develop this joint solution to improve business performance for power generators worldwide.
Honeywell's turbine control technology ties together process control and automation of plant subsystems and feeds the most relevant information directly to operators to help them make critical decisions in the control room. Combining these capabilities with Wood Group's expertise, the Honeywell Turbine Control System provides a single, unified platform to control boiler, turbine and balance-of-plant operations.
More power-generation companies are upgrading their older control systems because they are becoming increasingly harder to maintain and simply don't meet the demands of today's marketplace, said Gary Schwartz, managing director of Wood Group Turbine Control Services. Power plants are discovering that tight integration between systems such as boilers and turbines is essential to improve overall system operations and, therefore, business results.

Kelly Clarkson, shown during a performance on the 2012 edition of "VH1 Divas," has responded to rumors than she is gay. (Kevin Winter/Getty Images / December 12, 2012) |
Kelly Clarkson knows about those gay rumors, people, and she's "never insulted" by them. Alas, she's also never played for the girls' team.
More shockingly, she said, life can be a lot like "American Idol" auditions. More on that later.
The original "American Idol" champ, now 30, recently got engaged to boyfriend Brandon Blackstock. So will that ginormous rock be enough to sway those who have questioned her sexuality?
PHOTOS: Gay celebrities — who's out?
"People think, 'Oh, she's been single for too long,'" Clarkson told Cosmopolitan in an interview for its February issue. "That's kind of an insult to the gay community. Being single doesn't mean you're gay."
(Conspiracy theorists, now's the part where you say, "Aha! But being engaged doesn't mean you're straight!")
"But I'm never insulted by it, obviously," the singer said, and there are even some flattering perks. "I mean, I get hit on by the hottest girls ever. Oh, my God, if I were a lesbian, I would be so in luck. But it's just not my thing. I've always batted for the boys' team."
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
She doesn't command the same kind of hot-hottie interest in that league, she says.
"[U]sually the guys who hit on me are tools ... ," Clarkson told the mag. "It's like 'American Idol' auditions: The guys who are the most confident are the horrible ones, and the ones who are good have no confidence at all."
Thanks, Kelly. That explains so much.
