Build simple, rugged, floating LED lanterns that glow for days.
If you're like me, you're the bane of hardware store employees. I wander through the whole place picking up everything, looking at possibilities more than parts. Can they help me find anything? "No thanks," I answer. What am I working on? "I don't know yet," I say. They move on, keeping a suspicious eye on me.
Some things just seem useful, even if I can't think of how at the moment. One time I found matched pairs of PVC caps and plugs that fit together into little airtight pods of various sizes. For what, I didn't know until I wanted a way to float lit LEDs down a stream.
The result: simple, rugged, floating LED lanterns that glow for days. They've survived being submerged for a week, frozen, and laundered in the washing machine. I even hit one with the lawn mower, and it still works. When they get dirty, just hose them off.
Place the LED in the pliers so that their blunt nose is flush against the bottom of the LED lens. This will let you push the LED firmly without mangling it. Push the LED through the cap from the inside until it's flush with the inside of the cap. If the fit is too tight using just your hands, use the open end of the plug as a backstop and gently tap the handle of the pliers with a rubber mallet.
The enamel coating on the binder clips can insulate but tends to chip. To avoid shorting out your LED, apply electrical tape inside the clip. The pliers can help hold it open.
Slide the coin cell battery between the 2 LED leads, with the smooth (positive) side against the longer lead. The LED should light up. Clip the binder clip over the top to hold the leads securely to the LED.

Saints fever is running rampant
Published: Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 10:49 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 21, 2006 at 11:46 a.m.
It didnt take me long to realize the importance of the New Orleans Saints Monday night game against the Atlanta Falcons.
As a matter of fact, it all started in the wee-hours this past Monday around 3 a.m. While sleeping peacefully, I was awaken suddenly by the sound of my cell-phone going off.
It was an old friend of mine (whom I will call Danielle in this column), and she obviously had some exciting news that she couldnt wait for the sun to come up to tell me.
The ensuing conversation went like this.
Danielle: "Hey Chris, Youre up?"
Me: "Yeah, now I am. Whats up?"
Danielle: "The best thing in the world just happened to me. I just outbid this guy from Mississippi for Saints-Falcons tickets on E-Bay. I got a couple of tickets located directly behind the Saints sideline."
Me: "Oh, really? How much did it cost you?"
Danielle: "Oh, not that much. Around $2,000."
I nearly fell out my bed after hearing how much she spent on Saints tickets. I mean shes not an everyday, die-hard football fan like yours truly.
One time I asked her what an out route was? She responded by saying, "Isnt that the exit everyone uses to leave the stadium." She also think a tight end is a word used to describe Joe Horns lower backside. I found that to be very creepy.
Anyway, Danielle has caught a fever thats spreading quickly around the state of Louisiana. Shes not the only victim of this highly contagious fever. Its a black-and-gold fever that is turning everyone -- even the non-football fans -- into Saints maniacs.
The Saints Monday Night Football contest against the Falcons is far from a regular football game. It will be an event like no other to ever happen in the Big Easy.
It is the Saints first regular-season game in the Superdome since December, 2004. (Ironically, that game was also against the Falcons). After a horrible year thanks to hurricanes Katrina and Rita, football was the last thing on the minds of people around the Gulf Coast.
Thats not the case anymore. With a 2-0 start to open the season, the Saints are the buzz of the state. Whether your sitting in the Superdome or watching someplace with a television set, everyone wants to be a part of this game. The teams early season success have given their long-suffering fans something to cheer for and be proud of.
The game is also against the highly hated Falcons, which should add a little bit more excitement to the showdown.
For the first time in their 40-year history, the Saints have sold out every available season ticket in the Superdome this season. That is an amazing feat for New Orleans since most national critics around the country said the region couldnt support the team.
Those same critics are now eating their own words as the Saints, the city of New Orleans and the entire state of Louisiana have stepped up to the plate and showed their love for the team.
When the Saints take the field on Monday night, I am quite certain it will be an emotional event for everyone in the Superdome and the millions watching on television around the world. The game will give New Orleans a chance to show the world that the city is coming back stronger than ever. It will also let everyone know that the Saints are back home on the bayou where they belong.
Mondays game will be a time of tears and laughter. It will be a time for solemn remembrance and wild celebration.
And most importantly, it will a time for football, which is something New Orleans hasnt seen in a long time.

Recently I noticed an interesting thing - after opening my blog in FF I noticed a blocked object icon in the middle of the header section (blocked by FF NoScript plugin). It was a flash object linking to:
I don't have anything at that site and I'm not using any widgets. I compared original theme files with those on server - identical, so one idea is that it's coming from WP engine. But it's just a speculation of course. Does anybody had something similar?
BTW after reloading page, blocked object icon disappeared and further reloads didn't show it... strange

Network Troubleshooting Tools
Over the years, thousands of tools have been developed for debugging TCP/IP networks. They range from very specialized tools that do one particular task, to generalized suites that do just about everything except replace bad Ethernet cables. Even better, many of them are absolutely free. There's only one problem: who has time to track them all down, sort through them for the best ones for a particular purpose, or figure out how to use them? Network Troubleshooting Tools does the work for you–by describing the best of the freely available tools for debugging and troubleshooting. You can start with a lesser-known version of ping that diagnoses connectivity problems, or take on a much more comprehensive program like MRTG for graphing traffic through network interfaces. There's tkined for mapping and automatically monitoring networks, and Ethereal for capturing packets and debugging low-level problems. This book isn't just about the tools available for troubleshooting common network problems. It also outlines a systematic approach to network troubleshooting: how to document your network so you know how it behaves under normal conditions, and how to think about problems when they arise, so you can solve them more effectively. The topics covered in this book include:
* Understanding your network
* Connectivity ing
* Evaluating the path between two network nodes
* Tools for capturing packets
* Tools for network discovery and mapping
* Tools for working with SNMP
* Performance monitoring
* Testing application layer protocols
* Software sources

A young child is dead following a hit-and-run accident in Montgomery.
It happened this afternoon on the 700-block of Clark Street.
Police say a driver of an SUV hit a three-year-old boy while backing out of a drive-way, leaving him with life-threatening injuries.
He later died at the hospital.
The initial investigation finds an argument occurred at that home right before the child was hit.
M-p-d says the driver fled the scene but later turned himself in.
Charges may be filed once the investigation is complete.
Portions of Clark Street will be closed for the next few hours during the investigation.

National Library of France
BnF has been using RAMEAU for analytical indexing since 1980. RAMEAU is a directory of interlinked subject authority records that contain vocabulary and information used to construct subject headings in a bibliographic file. Together, these records constitute the National Authority List, which is managed by the National RAMEAU Center. RAMEAU indexing uses BnF authorities (names of persons, corporate bodies, and titles) for studies on these subjects. This indexing covers all types of materials (printed, audiovisual, graphic, etc.) and enables subject searches to be carried out in the catalogs.
As is the case in most French libraries, BnF's catalogers follow the indexing rules set out in the RAMEAU Indexing Guide. However, for the institution's own specific needs, instructions and practical tips have been put together in the form of information sheets in the Practical Guide for Catalogers (Guide pratique du catalogueur):
As far as possible, BnF policy is to limit the number of RAMEAU subject access points to any given item to three.
le récapitulatif de l'indexation (RAMEAU, Dewey) par type de document
(monographies imprimées, périodiques, documents audiovisuels, recueils, manuscrits, images fixes, partitions musicales)
Analytical indexing
Analytical indexing is a way of analyzing the subject of materials so as to create access points in the catalog. The principles of analytical indexing, as defined in standard AFNOR Z 44-070 (Documentation - Indexation analytique par matière, 1986, a revision of the standard contained in the 1957 Catalogue alphabétique de matières), are as follows: "Analytical indexing by subject applies only to documentary works. It generally excludes literary works and classical, philosophical, and religious texts. However, in special cases of specialized collections, such works may be indexed."
An institution's indexing policy defines which materials are covered by the general principles laid down in a standard and which materials have special characteristics. This is particularly the case for some specialized collections.
BnF authorities, which are used for subject indexing, follow rules set out in the RAMEAU Indexing Guide (Guide d'indexation RAMEAU).
Names of persons
Names of persons (PEPs) may be used in the assignment of subject headings to works about persons.
Corporate bodies
Like names of persons, some names of corporate bodies (ORGs) may be used for subject indexing.
Please note: some architectural studies (on buildings, monuments, places of worship, etc.) are indexed using either a corporate body, established in accordance with the corporate bodies standard NF Z 44-060, or using a geographical name established in accordance with rules set out in the RAMEAU Indexing Guide. Constructions located on cartographic materials are expressed using BnF geographical names established in accordance with standard NF Z 44-081.
Titles (conventional titles, uniform titles for anonymous classics, uniform titles for music, etc.) are often used in subject indexing of studies of a given work.
Geographical names
Cartographic materials (maps, plans, atlases, globes, cartographic guides, geographical games, cartographic CD-ROMs, etc.) include access points based on geographical names. Headings are established in accordance with standard AFNOR NF Z 44-081 (Documentation – Catalogage des documents cartographiques – Forme et structure des vedettes noms géographiques, 1993). This type of indexing enables users to carry out specifically geographical searches within the catalogue général de la BnF.
Geographical indexing
Geographical access are necessary for cartographic materials. Geographical names – which are styled "BnF geographical names" in order to differentiate them from geographical names used by RAMEAU and local government authors – correspond to complete headings which can be used for specific searches.
The Dewey indexing system
The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system is an encyclopedic numerical classification system covering every field of knowledge. It has been translated into many languages and is the most widely used classification system in the world.
The Dewey system is developed and regularly updated by the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee, OCLC/Forest Press in order to take into account developments in knowledge.
It is used by BnF (22nd edition) to index both open-access printed materials and materials obtained under the legal deposit scheme and added to the library's closed-stack collections. Indexes used for automatic indexing are in turn used to establish records that populate a Dewey authority file.
The printed version of the 22nd edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification system has been translated into French: Classification décimale Dewey et index, 22nd edition, published by Asted, 2007 (distributed by Cercle de la librairie). This is the edition currently used by BnF. However, for the institution's own specific needs, instructions and practical tips have been put together in the form of information sheets included in the Practical Guide for Catalogers (Guide pratique du catalogueur):
Dewey indexing enables users to search the catalogue général de la BnF by index or index label.
BnF assigns a single Dewey index to monographs, and no more than three to periodicals obtained under the legal deposit scheme.
le récapitulatif de l'indexation (RAMEAU, Dewey) par type de document
(monographies imprimées, périodiques, documents audiovisuels, recueils, manuscrits, images fixes, partitions musicales)
Classification systems
The DCC system is also used to define discipline-based filing schemes, thus enabling topical searches such as those used in Gallica, BnF's digital library.
Systematic indexing
Unlike analytical indexing, systematic indexing follows a discipline-based approach to classification. These two types of indexing are complementary: one approaches subjects from an analytical perspective, while the other approaches them by major knowledge class, and is thus useful for collocating materials covering a given discipline.
Typologies are reference systems or closed and standardized lists of terms, as well as numeric codes accompanied by natural language labels. These reference systems are used to capture additional information which cannot be held in subject fields. They make more in-depth searches possible for certain materials such as fixed images. In particular, these include searches by type, genre and form.
Audiovisual materials
Reference systems specific to audiovisual materials enable users to carry out searches from four angles: by topic (classification by major topic), by genre, by production and distribution channel, and by form and function:
Matière générale [fichier .pdf – 119 Ko – 25/06/09 – 2 p.]
Graphic materials
Reference systems specific to graphic materials enable users to carry out searches by:
Cartographic materials
Reference systems specific to cartographic materials enable users to carry out searches by:
Most fixed images are indexed using the RAMEAU language and typologies for graphic materials. Furthermore, digital images referenced in the Mandragore database and the picture collection are indexed using their own specific thesauruses.
Mandragore ("mandrake" in English)
Mandragore, the Manuscripts Department's database of iconographic materials covering the department's collections of western and eastern miniatures, allows searches using a specific BnF thesaurus.
The thesaurus used within Mandragore forms part of a European project on multilingual access, the STITCH project.
The picture collection
Images in the picture collection, the Reprographic Department's database of fixed digital images holding images in the public domain taken from materials reproduced at the request of BnF's internal and external customers, are indexed using the Thésaurus iconographique drawn up by François Garnier.
This thesaurus can be used to carry out documentary analysis of ancient and modern representations. In particular, it is used to index images in the Joconde database (Catalogue des collections des musées de France) and the Liber Floridus database (illuminated medieval manuscripts from higher education libraries).
Iconographic descriptors
Iconographic descriptors, which are taken from a specialist thesaurus used to describe images, are presented in the form of a prioritized list of specific keywords.
Reminder: what is a thesaurus?
"A tool for checking vocabulary, the use of which is intended to make information retrieval more efficient. A thesaurus is an organized list of terms relating to one or more fields of knowledge. The terms found in a thesaurus are descriptors. Most databases have a thesaurus from which descriptors are selected to describe the items referenced in the database. A thesaurus indicates which terms should be used to unambiguously describe the contents of materials, and which terms should not be used. Vocabulary on a specific topic is grouped together, limited, categorized, and governed by hierarchical relationships, equivalencies, or other relationships between terms (generic descriptors, specific descriptors, associated descriptors, etc.). Instructions for using descriptors may be briefly explained in application or usage notes." [Glossaire des techniques de l'information in Joconde, the catalog of French museum collections.]

Yes, the Uninsured Can Get Care
Lack of insurance doesn't have to mean going without needed health care.
If you're uninsured and seeking stop-gap care until you find coverage, you can triage your way to better health by understanding the tradeoffs of several care options. A retail clinic or urgent-care center may be a suitable fit, depending on the severity of your medical need and personal preferences.
"They're all places where you don't need an appointment, they're open extended hours and they're there to treat people who can't get in to see their regular provider," says Ateev Mehrotra, a policy analyst at Rand Corp. and professor at the University of Pittsburgh's School of Medicine.
If you have a regular doctor you'd like to keep seeing but fear you can't pay full price because of lost coverage, give the doctor a chance to work out a charity-care arrangement, payment plan or possible treatment changes to lower costs, says Lori Heim, president of the American Academy of Family Physicians, who practices in Laurinburg, N.C.
Most doctors will try to work with patients to assure their continuity of care, she says.
Retail clinics: Convenience and expense are two reasons uninsured patients who suspect they have a routine ailment such as the flu, strep throat, simple bronchitis or a skin condition might visit a retail clinic, Mr. Mehrotra says.
Retail clinics also offer vaccinations and physicals on a walk-in basis, and they're open evenings and weekends. They're located in national chain stores, such as Walgreens, Wal-Mart and CVS/pharmacy, and some are operated by hospital systems. They're staffed by nurse practitioners or physician's assistants who can diagnose, treat and prescribe medication.
Unlike emergency rooms and other health-care settings where there's no way to know how much the final bill will be, retail clinics post their prices on a menu board and often online. Patients "know exactly what they're going to pay," Mr. Mehrotra says.
CVS/pharmacy stores, for example, have 500 MinuteClinics in 25 states. They're open seven days a week and have weekday evening hours. The average cost of treatment is $62, says Andrew Sussman, president of MinuteClinic, in Minneapolis.
Typical patients are young adults with no regular health-care provider, according to a 2009 study of retail clinics from Rand Corp.
Limitations: Retail clinics don't have doctors or on-site X-ray or lab facilities, and many won't treat children younger than 18 months.
Urgent-care centers: For care that's more comprehensive than at retail clinics, but not as complete as in hospital emergency departments, urgent-care centers are an option.
They don't take appointments but offer doctors and treatment for mid-level problems, such as simple fractures, sprains, bruises, burns and cuts requiring stitches. Many also treat asthma and bladder infections.
"Our goal is to get people in, treated and out within an hour," says Jim Greenwood, chief executive of Concentra, a Dallas-based health-care company that owns and operates more than 300 urgent-care clinics in 40 states.
Concentra also has transparent pricing, showing in English and Spanish the cost of three service levels, typically ranging from $95 to $190.
Its urgent-care centers are located close to where people work, and many have extended hours to accommodate work schedules. Back pain is one of the top reasons patients seek care there, and centers are typically staffed with a doctor and a physical therapist, Mr. Greenwood says.
Limitations: Like retail clinics, urgent-care centers typically don't treat infants. Costs are 30% to 40% higher than at retail clinics, reflecting more staff training and resources, Mr. Mehrotra says.
Community health centers: Community health centers are nonprofits serving mostly uninsured people and those with low incomes. They charge patients on a sliding fee scale according to federal guidelines and based on a person's ability to pay.
"It's a good place to come and feel welcome without being embarrassed if you don't have the insurance or you don't have the money," says Lolita Lopez, president of Westside Family Health Care in Wilmington, Del.
Many health centers help patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes manage their ailments so they don't end up in costly emergency rooms.
Community health centers don't consider themselves one-shot deals. They offer an array of primary and preventive care, sometimes including dental clinics, optometry, pediatric and obstetric/gynecology services under one roof. They often function as a medical home, a place where patients can come back over time as their medical needs change.
Limitations: Most community health centers require appointments and documentation of income. Wait times can be long as resources are stretched thin.
Hospital emergency rooms: Emergency rooms are always open and stocked with life-saving equipment and personnel. Patients with potentially serious symptoms such as a high fever, shortness of breath or chest pain should seek care there without delay. About half of ER patients are admitted to the hospital.
Limitations: Of all the options, the ER is the most expensive, and patients with less-urgent needs may face long waits before being treated.

The new home of
When you think of Veneto think of famous cities like Venice, famous lakes like Lake Garda and famous mountain ranges like the Dolomites. This is a region in north east Italy that has many reasons for being on your holiday shortlist and that's why it's so popular. For accommodation in this varied region see our collection of villas in Veneto.
Veneto stretches from the Adriatic Sea to the high Dolomites, passing through a changing landscape of river delta, hills and valleys, rivers, lakes and canals. In addition to the area''s natural assets, the towns and cities in Veneto have many historical and cultural sites of interest and a rich and fascinating architectural heritage.
The unique city of Venice can be explored by boat or on foot. Here you will find some unforgettable experiences including the Basilica in the Piazza San Marco, the Doge''s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs that spans the Rio di Palazzo. You can travel up the Grand Canal and see the sights from a gondola or, more economically, hop on one of the regular waterbuses.
The islands of Burano and Murano in the Venetian Lagoon also attract tourists who come to see the traditional lace-making and glassblowing for which they are famous. The delightful cities of Verona and Padua are also well worth visiting for their historic and cultural attractions and scenic beauty.
In the west of the region is Lake Garda with its particularly mild micro climate. This large lake affords magnificent views of deep blue lake against a mountain backdrop in the north and a more gentle rolling countryside to the south. Explore the charming villages dotted around its shores or take a relaxing boat ride on the lake.
The Dolomites provides the perfect venue for outdoor activities all year round. Winter sports enthusiasts will find resorts such as Cortina d''Ampezzo the place where they can enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the winter and trekking and climbing year round.
Nature lovers should visit the Po Delta region which is ideal for bird watching and photography, or the Park of Lessinia, in the foothills of the Alps with its interesting flora and fauna and abundance of fossils.
There are several golf courses in the region and plenty of opportunities to find excellent walking routes and mountain biking trails. For something less energetic following one of the many wine trails in the region, or spend time in one of the spas where you can enjoy the various treatments and therapies on offer. If you enjoy nightlife there is always plenty going on in the trendy clubs and bars in the tourist resorts.
With so much to offer, it is unsurprising that Veneto is so popular. Check out our range of holiday villas in Veneto for an unforgettable stay in this beautiful part of Italy.

We consider a general swarm model of self-propelling agents interacting through a pairwise potential in the presence of noise and communication time delay. Previous work has shown that a communication time delay in the swarm induces a pattern bifurcation that depends on the size of the coupling amplitude. We extend these results by completely unfolding the bifurcation structure of the mean field approximation. Our analysis reveals a direct correspondence between the different dynamical behaviors found in different regions of the coupling-time delay plane with the different classes of simulated coherent swarm patterns. We derive the spatiotemporal scales of the swarm structures, as well as demonstrate how the complicated interplay of coupling strength, time delay, noise intensity, and choice of initial conditions can affect the swarm. In particular, our studies show that for sufficiently large values of the coupling strength and/or the time delay, there is a noise intensity threshold that forces a transition of the swarm from a misaligned state into an aligned state. We show that this alignment transition exhibits hysteresis when the noise intensity is taken to be time dependent.

It keeps happening, not too often but I always hate it, I accidentally move a file or folder to some random location because I was scrolling and the mouse went off the scroll bar and BAM!!! files start copying to another location. While undo usually fixes this, I would rather disable this altogether.
Does anyone know how to disable this. I'd rather use the right-click to move and have to press that on the copy/move/cancel dialog.

"Entourage" star Jeremy Piven remembers his bar mitzvah as "a rite of passage." Growing up in Evanston, Ill., Piven recalls how his service was actually in a church, because they belonged to an extremely liberal Reconstructionist congregation. But unlike his character on the hit HBO show, Piven wasn't that interested in a big, fancy party.
"It wasn't a big community of people battling each other for the biggest bar mitzvah, like in my movie 'Keeping Up With the Steins,'" he says.

To the Editor.—
The article by Dr Crawsha`w1 leaves me with the slightly uncertain impression that he opposes any form of academic sanction. Certainly he opposes, as I do, any impediment to scientific exchange, which is by no means the same thing. I write on behalf of the Committee on Health in Southern Africa (CHISA), of which I am a founder.The issues are complex. The position of CHISA on this matter distinguishes between the substance of medicine and science on the one hand and the political positions and acts of physicians and scientists on the other. It is the latter with which CHISA is concerned. Further, although I can speak for neither the banished African National Congress nor the anti-apartheid National Medical and Dental Association in South Africa, I believe the current policies that both groups espouse are consonant with those of CHISA.Dr Crawshaw cites with

There is given a vector $2 \vec i + \vec j - 3 \vec k$ and now I want to find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the given vector and passing through a known point $(1,1,1)$. How can I solve this?
Find the equation of a line which is perpendicular to a given vector and passing through a known point
So, you are given the vector $(2,1,-3)$. Let $(2k,k,-3k)$ be the orthogonal projection of $(1,1,1)$ on $(2,1,-3)$. Then, $(2k-1,k-1,-3k-1)$ and $(2,1,-3)$ are orthogonal, giving: $4k-2+k-1+9k+3=0$ i.e. $k=0$. So, $(0,0,0)$, the origin is the projection. Hence, the line contains the points $(0,0,0)$ and $(1,1,1)$, so its equation is $x=y=z$, if my calculations are correct!
ai + b j + ck is the linear combination notation for a point in 3-space..It is meaningless to speak of a line being "perpendicular" to a point. ...What you want is the line perpendicular to the line L through (2 , 1 , -3) and the origin. The direction vector of L is (2,1,-3)..a vector orthogonal to that is (3,O 2)..so the formula of the line you want is of the form (1,1,1) + k(3,O,2)..k a real number.....which you may rewrite in cartesian notation

I have been given a test with a list of components and had to make a drawing with them and explain how they work in the system.
Welcome to the forum, hope you get to the top of the ladder one day.
Welcome to the forums, if you enjoy troubleshooting and fixing things, this is a great career for you!
Welcome to the forums.
What went wrong with the one you have? I have the same tool and mine works well. I have found that I need to leave the rear seal a little loose while removing the schrader core so that system...
Yeah, I am not sure I would want my company logo out there on his videos.
Tell us about your solution Twilly!
ncboston, all you can do is give it a try. Let us know what you think. Personally, I have never tried beef with sauerkraut. Has always been either pork or hot dogs.
Pork Loin rubbed with sage, don't add any water. Cook 8-10 hrs on low. Usually cook potatoes and another veggie for it on stove. Pork almost cuts itself. Then I pull left over pork and make bar-b-que...

How old is the dishwasher?
Interesting kayak, if you get it...let me know how it works.
This should give you an idea.
Maybe the guy was trying to get the proper pipe length away from the header? ;) Too bad he forgot it is supposed to stay inside the case?
If you want to fish, your best bet is a sit-on-top, any of the reputable brands will do. If you can find a group that paddles and see if you can try theirs out before you decide what you want. You...
Pictures would help greatly, that way we could make sure the return does not have a sheet metal access door that you are not seeing.
Toby, returns don't connect to the plenum. Take another look at your system. Need more information. Do you have a furnace or heat pump? when you take the access covers off the unit, where is the...
If you can wait till Monday, call for service. It would be better to have a technician inspect the system than a home inspection service. Either the tech will let you know the system is running...
You take good notes, but you do not understand how the system works. Do you think it is possible that you could make things worse before fixing the problem? As long as you have plenty of money to...
If you read the OP, and if this is installed as an upflow....how are you going to install the evap coil effectively? Also, the OP talks about multi-positional....that is talking about...
If the valve is directional, you will have to remove and re-install in the correct direction. It is because of the flow pattern through the valve, and it minimizes turbulence and maximizes flow.
Ask your contractors to see the manual j load calc they used to determine system size. The contractor that gets it to you and explains it would get my money if I were you.
Not necessarily a "bad" install, but you have every right to ask the installing contractor the reason they did not terminate the air intake outside. There is a benefit to having the intake outside,...
If you don't feel the situation is being addressed, you can call the manufacturer and explain the situation. They may send out a tech from another company or one of their field engineers. I am sure...
Larry, there is no replacement for a quality install to maximize the efficiency of the system.
See crazy new stuff on this site daily, I've never seen the coil installed with the apex down, how is it going to drain condensate?
The General should have paperwork stating who is balancing the system. Normally an outside contractor on a large job. if a small job, it is usually the company that installs the equipment.
What are the conditions in the mechanical room?
Voting is Complete!
A couple three chain falls, set of skates, lots of cribbing, nylon straps and shackles should do the trick.
Hopefully it won't be long before you feel that sense of accomplishment in your pocketbook. I will know how you feel soon, I am finishing up my associates degree in applied science next semester....
I agree with Keith, calling pro is good advice. You don't want to risk improper combustion or other hazards associated with not fixing the furnace properly.
Could be, could also be a friend helping out a friend!

I bet they did the same thing to the water heater when it began leaking. At least the solder joints look good!
That is proof that some people should just be shot!
We have one of these we are having issues with, when put in bypass...it runs the motor, but in normal operation the motor looks like it will rotate but doesn't, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info, Is it pretty effective at cleaning out the condenser coils? I am guessing you are blowing from the inside out?
Uni, that was AWESOME! I don't guess you worked for him any longer and have never missed a beat.
I have heard many of you refer to having CO2. I was wondering what you are using it for?
Also think about the work you are bringing to the Big company. Who is getting the better deal if you go to work for them?
