hmm ive lost my life reading this much info ,especially from non professional giving each other a lot of information gained from the internet.. However IF you had a 5ton system that worked ok but you have changed the overall infiltration and heat loss and gain with all the sealing up of gaps,better E-windows and doors and more insulation then you have changed the dynamics of the system,man J or no manual J, it is obvious. If i was installing this system id be putting in a 4ton two stage/two speed outdoor 14/16 seer 410a condensing unit,a two stage 80% VS furnace if you are in the southwest/west/south or if you are in the north or north east then a 90% or higher two stage variable speed 5 ton drive furnace with a 5 ton evaporator coil with TXV valve.This way your ducts and airflow can be adjusted with the 5ton drive to meet a 4ton or higher air flow and the VS motor will help with any mistakes made in the design as long as they are minor.The 5ton coil will help remove moisture faster with the larger surface area and be in tune with the furnace. I definitly would go with a media type filter and make sure all the ducts get properly sealed on both ends as well as entire system at all attachment points. I would also recommend ,IF this isnt already done,zoning the single system to at the very least a two zone system seperating the upstairs from the downstiars and using two thermostats in key areas to better fine tune your comfort. the humidistats can be set for proper humidity control and cooling so again this will help the system run as long or short as neccessary to get to your comfort level. also in closing IF you are going from 22 to 410a i would definitly change the lineset as if the flush isnt done correctly or any trace remains in the lines at all ,even a minute trace it will slowly kill the inside of your compressor and eventually with a few years ruin the new system.Its not worth the risk IMO,so if you are spending this kind of money already what an extra 500-1k to protect your investment?

Hi I'm new to the forum but I've been dying to post what I think is coming to book 7... also forgive me if this has already been mentioned :). 1.) I truely believe Snape is still on the good side for a couple of reasons: a.) I think Snape was in love with Lily. It's kind of hinted in book 5 when Harry was in Snape's memory and Lily came to Snape's rescue. I think the only reason he said that nasty remark to her was because he was embarassed that he just showed HER and the other kids on the lawn his dirty undies and was made a fool by his competion. This is probably why James (had a hunch about Snape's feelings for her) and Siris (100% loyalty to James) hated Snape so much and why Snape hates James/Siris. Also, he probably hates Harry so much (not because his father saved his life and was jerk to him) because Harry is a walking/talking reminder Lily picked JAMES (in every book it remarks how Harry looks exactly like James. So everytime Snape looks at Harry he sees Lily in Harry's eyes and her decsion for a husband in Harry's other physical characteristics). b.) You have to admit, JKR was seriously setting up for everyone to hate Snape. I mean it was TOO built up to make everyone think he's on the dark side. Just seems like her to give us a twist. Plus, in EVERY book so far Snape has been Harry's number one suspect except book 6 when he's hunches are seemed to be confirmed... but are they? c.) It seems to me like DD was begging Snape in book 6 to kill him like he promised (if you remember Hagrid caught them fighting about something Snape didn't want to do). d.) JKR seems to be building Snape up for this great... whatever its called where he can shut out his thoughts and feelings from others... and I bet he can also do that against Vold. Why else is he the PERFECT spy? Its not secret Snape is a very powerful wizard and amazing abilities. e.) Last reason (there might be more but this is all I can think of =P) Snape did two things on the Hogwarts lawn... first he prevented Harry from performing the unforgivable curse. Well, you might say "well duh Snape didn't want to die or be tortured" but that comes to the second thing Snape did on the lawn. He didn't kill Harry. Some think that this might be because Voldamort had other plans for Harry and was ordered to not harm him, but I don't think that was it at all. Vold got what he needed from Harry in the 4th book and he couldn't get what he need in the 5th book (which he also needed Harry for). I honestly think Snape was keeping Harry from harm and keeping him from going to Azkaban. 2.) R.A.B. I have two ideas who this is. The first one is Siris' brother. I think it mentioned that his initials are Relmus A. Black (sorry if I botched his first name... but it starts with a "R" anyways). If you remember from book 5, a heavy lockit was found by Siris and he pitched it in the bag AND Remus was killed by the Dark Lord for wanting to back out... but they never got into the details...

I didn't make it to my personal goal of 200 books, but I did manage to read/listen to 189 books (even if many of them were re-reads). For my top 10 list, I am only including books that were new reads during 2007. In no particular order: Fiction Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear Deephaven & Other Stories by Sarah Orne Jewett Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen Invisible Lives by Anjali Banerjee Nonfiction (only had 4 that actually counted) Murder in the Adirondacks by Craig Grandon Sarah Orne Jewett (a biography) by Paula Blanchard The Medicine Wheel Garden by E. Barrie Kavasch The Creative Home Herbal by Susan Bellsinger & Tina Marie Wilcox Okay, I said I wasn't going to list any re-reads, but here are my top 5 favorite re-reads from 2007 The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner The King of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner Beauty by Robin McKinley Persuasion by Jane Austen Farewell I'm Bound to Leave You by Fred Chappell

By the book : writers on literature and the literary life from The New York Times Book Review / edited and with an introduction by Pamela Paul ; foreword by Scott Turow. This very interesting book takes a peek into several writers’ preferences, likes and dislikes on books and all things literary. I’m taking reading ideas from some of the comments. One question that was asked of authors was about a favorite childhood book that influenced them the most as a writer. J.K. Rowling says that one of her favorite books and which encouraged her to be a writer was Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. In fact, several authors profiled here mention this book as having influenced their lives. Sting’s favorite novelist is Mark Twain, “for the perfect combination of plot and character in Huckleberry Finn.” As for “what books might we be surprised to find on your shelves,” Sting owns the complete works of British humor writer P.G. Wodehouse. Wodehouse is one of my favorite authors too, and is mentioned more than once in this volume. Question - “What book did you feel you were supposed to like, and didn’t?” Many authors diplomatically chose not to answer the question, but Michael Connelly says there are too many to list. He is an impatient reader, he notes, his time to read is too short so he only gives a book – any book – a short leash. “It’s got to draw me in quickly.” Question - “What is the best book you read in the last year?” The best book for Hilary Mantel (writer of Wolf Hall) was Life After Life by Kate Atkinson and Caroline Kennedy's favorite fiction was The Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers. Other authors share this information and more. Some are Donna Tartt, Joyce Carol Oates, John Irving, Elizabeth Gilbert, David Sedaris, Jonathan Franzen, Dave Barry, John Grisham, Lee Child and many others.
