Jump Ducts
Provide for pressure balancing between bedrooms and the rest of the house.
- Install ducted returns or a combination of ducted returns, transfer grilles, jump ducts, and/or door undercuts in bedrooms to allow pressure balancing between bedrooms and the rest of the house in homes with ducted heating and cooling systems by providing a path for stale air to return to the return side of a central air handler.
- ENERGY STAR Certified Homes requires that the dedicated return ducts, transfer grilles, jump ducts, and/or door undercuts provide 1 square inch of free area opening per 1 CFM of supply air, as reported on the contractor-provided balancing report. Or, that the dedicated return ducts, transfer grilles, jump ducts, and/or door undercuts together achieve a Rater-measured pressure differential of ≤3 Pascals (0.012 inch water column) with respect to the main body of the house when bedroom doors are closed and the air handler is operating.
- If dedicated return ducts are installed in each bedroom, contractors must seal all seams, gaps, and holes of the return duct system with mastic and seal the return box to the floor, wall, or ceiling with mastic, caulk, and/or foam.
- If transfer grilles or jump ducts are used, refer to the balancing report provided by the HVAC contractor for the bedroom air flows to size the grilles or ducts. Ensure that both openings have the required free area. Seal all seams, gaps, and holes in the ducts and connections.
- If door undercuts are used, framers should cut the bottom of the doors to approximately ¾ inch above the finished floor.
- Test the pressure differential with the bedroom doors closed.
See the Compliance Tab for related codes and standards, and criteria to meet national programs such as ENERGY STAR Certified Homes, DOE's Zero Energy Ready Home program, and EPA's Indoor airPLUS.
For central "forced air" furnace and air conditioning systems to operate properly, the HVAC distribution system should be designed with adequate supply and return registers to provide conditioned air to all parts of the house and return stale air to the furnace for reconditioning. Most HVAC distribution systems are designed with at least one supply register in each room; however, typically only a few larger return registers are installed in a home—usually one on each floor level in a central location such as a central hallway floor or ceiling. To ensure that "stale" air is able to return to these central returns from rooms such as bedrooms or offices that have closeable doors, builders will often rely on door undercuts. These can be inadequate for providing enough air flow, especially when carpet is installed. Inadequate return air pathways can cause pressure imbalances from room to room, which can cause drafts and temperature differences between rooms or floors, leading to comfort complaints. These imbalances can overly pressurize closed rooms forcing conditioned air into exterior walls, which could result in condensation issues in wall cavities and can cause the furnace and air conditioning equipment to work harder than necessary. One option is to install a return air duct in each room. Other options include installing jump ducts or transfer grilles in the rooms that are often closed. A jump duct is a short piece of insulated flex duct (typically 10-inch-diameter duct) installed in the attic and attached to ceiling registers in the closed room and a common space to provide a return air pathway between the two areas.
Jump ducts may be installed by the HVAC installer. This task should be included in the contract for the appropriate trade depending on the workflow at specific job sites.
How to Install a Jump Duct
- Before ceiling drywall is installed, determine a location between the ceiling rafters in each room. Install the registers and insulated flex duct.
- After ceiling drywall is installed, seal the registers to the ceiling drywall with caulk. Seal the duct to the register boots with mastic or plastic or metal ties and approved metal tape, not duct tape.
Figure 1 - Installing jump ducts from room to room is one way to balance pressures
Figure 2 - A jump duct is installed in the ceiling to connect a closed room with an open area to provide a passive air pathway to the central return air register
Ensuring Success
Duct blaster testing equipment can be used with a pressure pan as part of HVAC commissioning to determine pressure differences at each supply register and to determine whether adequate pathways exist for air to return to centrally located returns.

Project Description
The Facebook game Stormfall: Age of War is like many Facebook games. You have resources and you can purchase gems with real money that can be used to buy these resources. This happens via http interaction between the Facebook account and the game itself.
I would like someone who is very familiar with how Facebook games work to build middle ware to allow this interaction to be 'faked'. Essentially, I want to be able to purchase resources without using gems, etc. The middle ware would function similar to how this one functions: [url removed, login to view]
There would also have to be a long term arrangement to keep this application updated when it 'stops working'. The experience of the programmer would be relied on to provide security and additional recommended features.
User interface is of no concern in this project.

Amazon's New "Silk" Browser Gets Speedy Mobile Browsing Via the Cloud
Jason Mick
September 28, 2011 2:44 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Amazon.com's new Silk browser splits the work of loading webpages between the tablet and the cloud.
(Source: Amazon.com via YouTube)
The new browser will be available exclusively for the Kindle Fire tablet.
(Source: Amazon.com)
Tablet browser looks to deliver faster performance that its mobile rivals -- "Yay cloud!"
Earlier today Amazon, Inc. (
) pulled the wraps off its
long-awaited multimedia tablet
, branded "Fire". The catchy name was backed
by a bargain $199 price
TouchPad, what?
) and solid hardware -- a dual core processor and all the essentials. With that tablet came a brand new slick browser, which offers an improved version of a seldom-seen feature that could offer a big browsing edge for Amazon's tablet over rival designs.
I. Amazon.com Unveils What Could be the Fastest Mobile Browser
One intriguing thing about the tablet is that it's not a standard build of Android. The tablet forked off of Android
(!) the Android 2.1 build. That means that Amazon has cooked in its own implementations of multi-touch and GUI features, independent of Google's updates (Android 2.1 "Eclair", Android 2.2 "Froyo", and Android 2.3 "Gingerbread"). Amazon.com will continue to maintain its own operating system branch on the Android tree.
A possible benefit of this approach is that the tablet may be
less susceptible to malware
, while still enjoying full compatibility with apps in
Amazon.com's "App Store for Android."
And Amazon.com gets to pocket its cut of app sales revenue, rather than Google.
A third benefit of the unique approach is that it gives Amazon.com the opportunity to revisit core software and find ways to differentiate it from rival Android tablets, as well as other competitors like Apple, Inc. (
). A perfect example of that redesign/refine paradigm is Amazon.com's new Silk browser [
press release
], the Fire's primary browser.
The new browser is available only for the Fire. It will not be available (not yet, at least) on other Android tablets.
The browser leverages Amazon.com's
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
, the company's cloud computing operation. Basically,
much like Opera's "Turbo Boost"
feature (and the similar feature found in the mobile SkyFire browser), the Silk browser communicates with the Amazon EC2 server farm to accelerate mobile browsing by pre-rendering page elements before they're delivered over the network to your device and by offloading CPU-heavy script-processing to the cloud.
As a heavy amount of smart phone users' traffic is on 3G (and sometimes 4G) networks, this is a big deal as webpages that take second or less to load on Wi-Fi connected personal computers can take a half minute or more to fully load on a mobile device.
Silk goes beyond Opera's Turbo Boost in that it has logic baked into that can analyze webpages and
the rendering/process between the cloud and the local CPU. This could make Silk even faster against "dumb" offloaders, which automatically offload certain tasks to the cloud. In the best case scenario, both the tablet hardware and the cloud will be working at maximum performance to deliver webpages as fast as possible to your Fire tablet.
Of course how much this theoretical boost equates to in real world gains remains to be seen.
II. Browser Opens the Door to Data-Mining, Mobile Ad Ventures for Amazon
Early reports are largely overlooking one hugely important aspect of the new browsing technology. Namely, all of your page requests will be passing through Amazon's cloud servers (even though your tablet will be doing part of the eventual processing/rendering). This means that Amazon will have access to a full history of its browser user's web visits.
It could use this data -- which will likely be anonymized -- in two ways. First, it could use it to improve the suggestion feature in Amazon.com online retail site, based on your overall internet behavior (not just on Amazon). The site already does this to an extent with its browser cookies (which some "pesky" users block with browser extensions), but the new technology gives it access to a potentially much more complete data set.
Secondly, it could use this mined data to deploy an ad network, to compete with Google's mobile AdMob network. A leap into advertising would be a bit outside Amazon.com's past business realm -- particularly given that it could be selling ads to its online retail competitors. However, the field is lucrative enough that Amazon may not be able to resist trying its hand at an advertising platform. Further, a mobile ad platform could tie nicely into Amazon's aspirations as a one-stop app distributor.
Regardless of which of these possibilities gets implemented when, the cloud browser appears poised to give users something valuable -- faster mobile browsing -- while giving Amazon.com a little something back in return -- product differentiation and mined data.
"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook

{every great dream begins with a dreamer}
Monday 9th May, 2011
by Roséline
. . . while it may feel like the weeks are whirling by lately, each day brings us a little closer to the loveliest time of all, and new weeks are such wonderful things, {this one being filled with photo shoots and plans, letters, emails, and late-lunch dates} . . . and so, for today, the prettiest pencil skirt and a romantic ruffled blouse, a perfect trench with the sleeves pushed back and it's monday, monday . . .
{images: stw via that kind of woman; sveta via patterson maker}
I would love to know where that first photo was taken. It's very unique.
Oh! Roséline, this is such a beautiful post! It really leaves me breathless, both the photos and accompanied by your most exquisite writing… I absolutely believe in dreams, and am quite the dreamer myself. The first photo here takes me away to an adventure in a far-away land, I just love soaking in such beauty. Your writing is encouraging and a wonderful reminder to appreciate all the lovely occurrences throughout a week.
Also, in speaking of pencil skirts, I know you are so very busy, but would be honoured if you had the time to visit my current post — have just released a new design, a pink high-waisted pencil skirt and would love to know your opinion! 🙂
That garden is beautiful! Where is it? Is it in London somewhere? I'm planning to visit there this summer and would love to check it out!
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to slow down to enjoy these dreamy moments? My favorite look, a pencil skirt and trench.
Happy Tuesday to you Roséline!
gorgeous garden.
love this photos ! 🙂
love love loooove this garden!!!
i saw this trench coat at ASOS, i like:)
that cliff-like terrace is AMAZING!!! Where is that?!!
P.S.-I do hope you'll come check out my blog!
What a divine post. Summer is complete bliss and I am ecstatic that it's drawing nearer and nearer!
I adore the bottom photo…it is practically perfect! The clothes, the evening sunlight behind her, the vast city scene, just lovely!!
Your posts make me swoon, darling♥ They are delightful.
What a dreamy post! That first picture is just breathtaking & euphoric!!
Sounds like you have a busy few weeks ahead! Thank you so much for the daily inspiration. It really livens up my day…
P.S. That garden is where I would like to die, or maybe is my idea of heaven.
Goooorgeousness! And you know what? I think you just made my monday 100 times better by being so excited about a fresh week! Sometimes I let the Monday blues get me down a little too much, but now I'm feeling much more excited about all the fresh possibilities the week has to offer! 😀 Thanks!
those bushes look like little bon bons. 🙂
Gorgeous garden, but I fear i would fall over the edge! Beautiful aerial shot!
Oh the first photo is absolutely breathtaking!I picture a dinner just for two at dusk with candelabras, floaty dresses, and a handsome man across the table…with a robins egg colored box behind his back! Ahhh I'm such a dreamer…but as you said every great dream begins with a dreamer…and my dream did come true…
That first shop literally took my breath away. Gorgeous!
Super cute love the Garden!!
amazing shots!!! so pretty
I would love to live in a beautiful place like that first photo. amazing!
love the first photo so much

We figured being in Missouri we needed to stop by Kansas City for some amazing BBQ since the city is known for it!! We stopped at.... We ordered 4 huge meals and shared between the four of us!! We don't think we could eat at another BBQ place again that is how good it was!!

Order yours now. The freaky deaky folding car. (Video)
posted at 6:31 pm on October 27, 2013 by Jazz Shaw
Yes, before you say anything, it hasn't exactly been a rocking news weekend. But some of you must be looking for ways to save space after Obamacare forces you to move into one of those micro-apartments which are all the rage these days. And if you're going to have to figure out how to pack all of your inside stuff into 800 square feet, you'll clearly need to do something about how much space you're taking up in the parking area. Have no fear.
Those clever folks in South Korea have just the answer. It's a car called the Armadillo… most likely because it's hardly bigger than one. But just being small while it's driving around town isn't good enough. This is the car that folds in half after you park it. And for the cherry on the sundae, you can operate it from your SmartPhone. Let's just go to the video.
"We see cars as a complicated machine. But it is now time to start thinking new. Cars will be handy and convenient in the future. In other words, it will be more of a consumer electronic product," said Suh In-Soo, a professor at the Graduate School for Green Transportation at KAIST who led the project.
The Armadillo-T, named after its design for its rear looks like a South American armadillo shell, shrinks from 110 inches to 70 inches. The rear shell kicks upward covering over the front, taking up only one-third of a typical Korean parking space. The micro car has a maximum speed of 37 mph and can travel 62 miles off a 10-minute fast charge.
"At first, I thought it was a toy. But the best part about it is that it's environmentally efficient and could save a lot of space," said Lee Chanhee, a student at a recent Korea Automotive Industry Exhibition of the Armadillo-T near Seoul.
Out of curiosity, why is it that the trend towards really extreme, small cars has never caught on in the United States? Not just out in the country… I mean in the big cities. There have been really small cars available for some time now, particularly some Brit models, Smartcars and the like. And even up here I've seen them around town once in a great while. But they just don't seem to show up in any numbers. I'm sure they're horrible for cold weather, snow, ice and such, but in warmer cities down South, have they ever taken off?
I haven't seen them. Maybe it's just our traditional attraction to metal and muscle.

Im an audio tech student who is fairly new to maxmsp and was wondering if there was a way of converting the maxpat. files to wav. file format? I'm trying out a few sound effects for a games sound design project and would like to use them within XACT. Can anyone help :) ?

A Very American Coup By Michael – Louis Ingram, Editor-in-Chief...
One of the phone calls he made was to LSU women's coach Van Chancellor, whom Richardson knew from their SEC days (Chancellor coached the Mississippi women when Richardson was at Arkansas.) Chancellor spent 10 years in the WNBA coaching the Houston Comets to four WNBA titles.
"He told me that once you've dealt with women athletes, you are going to wish that you had coached them all your life," Richardson said. By last Tuesday evening, Richardson was headed from Tulsa back to his home in Arkansas, ending a long day in which he was installed as the head coach and general manager of Tulsa's new WNBA franchise.
It is not, however, a new WNBA franchise.
The good news for Tulsa was not such good news for fans of the Detroit Shock. After 11 seasons in Detroit, the Shock — winner of three WNBA titles — is leaving town.
Richardson, who led Arkansas to three Final Fours and an NCAA title in 1994, was approached by the new Tulsa ownership group before they knew they would be getting an established WNBA team.
The group hoped a high-profile name like Richardson, with ties to the Tulsa area, will help energize a small-market fan-base into quick acceptance of the city's first pro franchise.
The fact that he has never coached women at the pro or college level was not a stumbling block. Richardson, 67, will have the job of helping the players make the transition to a new coach, a new city, a new fan base and a new way of playing the game.
The coach who spent 17 years stamping the men's program at Arkansas with his aggressive, up-tempo, trapping, defensive-oriented game, plans to being his "40 Minutes of Hell" to this team.
"It's going to be '40 Minutes of Hell, Part II'," the coach said. "The fans know who I am and they know how I coach."
Richardson said he had not yet spoken with any of the players, many of whom have already reported to their winter teams overseas. He has nearly eight months before he will see his team in one place. He said he will respect the changes they are being asked to make.
"I'm so pleased and happy to be coaching a well-established basketball team," Richardson said. "But it's like any other job transition. I'm sure there's going to be a period where things are not going to look the same. But that's why they are professionals."
Tulsa represents a homecoming for Richardson, who began his coaching career at the University of Tulsa in 1980, leading the team to the NIT title in 1981. He said he wouldn't have taken the job if he didn't think the community would support the team.
"They are going to fall in love with the team, I know that love affair is going to happen" Richardson said. "It's hot in Tulsa in the summer. People will want to come in and watch basketball."
Richardson said he has paid close attention to the WNBA in recent weeks. He said he was "glued to the television set" during the WNBA Finals.
"I didn't know the Shock would be moving and I watched those games [in the Eastern Conference finals], too," Richardson said. "These are the best players in the world."
And the coach said he will tell anyone who will listen. He thinks he can convince some new fans (i.e. male mainstream basketball fans) to embrace the WNBA.
"Women's basketball is big in Oklahoma and I would be really surprised if Tulsa doesn't have great support for us," Richardson said. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could bring this team to the heights it deserves. This team has won three championships and we want to put it back there."

An error from the new goalkeeper saw Rafael Benitez's men take the win late in the second half of the friendly.
Claudio Bravo had a Barcelona debut to forget as his mistake resulted in a 1-0 friendly defeat to Napoli at Stade de Geneve on Wednesday.
Having made a spectactular save from a Marek Hamsik header in the first half, the Chilean, who signed from Real Sociedad in June, flapped at a Blerim Dzemaili shot from distance late to concede the only goal of the game
The strike came against the run of play after Barcelona had dominated possession for much of the encounter in Switzerland and could harm Bravo's chances of challenging fellow new signing Marc-Andre ter Stegen to be Luis Enrique's first-choice keeper.MORE: Biggest summer transfers | Soccer's beautiful fans | WAGs
Barcelona - without the likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar, who underwent medicals in Spain on Wednesday following their prolonged World Cup campaigns - handed midfielder Ivan Rakitic his first start for the club.
Napoli striker Lorenzo Insigne had a glorious chance to take an early lead against the Catalan giants.
Hamsik found the Italy international with a superb ball from the right, but Insigne appeared to be caught in two minds as the ball bounced harmlessly beyond him in the penalty area.
New recruit Bravo was soon called into action as he leapt superbly to his left to tip a looping Hamsik header wide of the post.
Despite all its possession, Barcelona's attacking threat was limited throughout the first half against a solid Napoli defensive unit, but Rafael Cabral got down well to deny Munir El Haddadi seven minutes before the break.
The Catalan giants began to turn the screw early in the second period and Pedro came close to opening the scoring on two occasions - first seeing a low drive touched wide by Rafael, and then sending a left-footed effort narrowly past the other post when he should have done better.
Both coaches made full use of their benches and by the 75th minute only three players who had started the match remained on the pitch.
One of those players was Bravo, but he was left wishing he had been withdrawn when he let Dzemaili's half-volley slip through his fingers 10 minutes from time.
Rafael got down well moments later to deny Gerard Deulofeu an equalizer from a curling effort, as Barca was unable to come up with an equalizer.

The school, and his teachings, played an important role in the popularization of libertarianism in America.

Tobacco harm reduction
(THR) is a public health strategy to lower the health risks associated with using nicotine, as an example of the concept of harm reduction, a strategy for dealing with the abuse of other drugs. Smoking tobacco is widely acknowledged as a leading cause of illness and death.[1] However, nicotine itself is not very harmful, as inferred from the long history of use for nicotine replacement therapy products.[2] Thus, THR measures have been focused on reducing or eliminating the use of combustible tobacco by switching to other nicotine products, including:
- Cutting down (either long-term or before quitting smoking)
- Temporary abstinence
- Switching to non-tobacco nicotine containing products, such as pharmaceutical nicotine replacement therapies or products such as electronic cigarettes ( more favorably called PV's or personal vaporizer).
- Switching to smokeless tobacco products such as Swedish snus
- Switching to non-combustible organic or additive-free tobacco products
It is widely acknowledged that discontinuation of all tobacco products confers the greatest lowering of risk. However, approved smoking cessation methods have a 90% failure rate, when used as directed.[1] In addition, there is a considerable population of smokers who are unable or unwilling to achieve abstinence.[3] Harm reduction is likely of substantial benefit to these smokers and public health.[1][2] Providing reduced-harm alternatives to smokers is certain to result in lower total population risk than pursuing abstinence-only policies.[4]
The strategy is controversial: proponents of tobacco harm reduction assert that lessening the health risk for the individual user is worthwhile and manifests over the population in fewer tobacco-related illnesses and deaths.[3][5] Opponents argue that some aspects of harm reduction interfere with cessation and abstinence and might increase initiation. Source: Wikipedia
We believe based upon recent clinical studies, research and interventions by professional Tobacco Control Specialist, that the over-all benefit to human suffering demands those opposing THR re-consider their motivation for opposing less harmful products. We further believe modern technology be utilized to significantly decrease such harms to smokers and that promotion of personal vaporizers PV's or ENDS ( electronic nicotine deliver systems ) as they are referred to by opponents; be considered as a " primary " tool for smokers seeking to end their smoking addiction.

The Birth of Route 66: Springfield, MO
A brief history of Route 66's conception in Springfield, including state Route 66 highlights and tips on navigating the Mother Road's original alignment.
A brief history of Route 66's conception in Springfield, including state Route 66 highlights and tips on navigating the Mother Road's original alignment.
Little Volcano is an often-overlooked town in the Shenandoah Valley. While it has its own share of wineries, the real draws are the stunning Black Chasm Caverns–inspiration for the atmosphere in the film The Matrix–spring on Daffodil Hill, which explodes each March into a profusion of sunny yellow, and hotels with vintage Gold Country charm.
Shasta Lake doesn't look like most lakes. Rather than a bowl shape, the lake is fed by three major rivers; to create this sprawling artificial lake, five towns were drowned. The remains are still down there, most sunk so deep that even scuba divers cannot explore them. A tour of the amazing Lake Shasta Caverns is a welcome respite from summer heat, and even if you're not fascinated by engineering statistics and superlatives, a tour of the Shasta Dam is a great experience.
Once you get outside the hustle and bustle of Texas's many major cities, there's an enormous canvas of natural wonders to explore, from forests and canyons to tropics and mountains.
The Adirondacks, Catskills, and Finger Lakes are particularly well known for their wild places, but every region of the state offers something special. Here's where to go to get outdoors in New York state.
If you want to check out a stunning piece of natural beauty, look no further than the Chapada Diamantina, otherwise known as the Diamond Plateau, in the jungles of Brazil. Author Michael Sommers guides us through this South American destination with loads of travel tips and suggestions.
