Domestic Voltage Optimisation
In today's economic climate, a growing number of households are struggling to keep up with costs of living; with many of us having to cut back on everyday expenses to make ends meet.
One of the most cost-effective ways of cutting your overall expenses is to target your energy bills.
Sure, switching the light off when you leave the room and making sure appliances aren't in use when they don't need to be are great ways to reduce your costs – but there's a solution that could save you even more money on your bills, and that's called domestic voltage optimisation.
Save between 8-15% on your annual energy bills.
Cut your carbon footprint.
Protect your electrical appliances from over-supply.
What is domestic voltage optimisation?
Today's 'modern home' will need to power a fair few electrical goods; from televisions and sound systems to cookers and fridges. As a homeowner, you'll know that this comes at a significant cost, so how could domestic voltage optimisation help?
This example should make things a little clearer:
Most of the electrical equipment you have in your house will perform at its 'optimum' level on around 220V of incoming electricity. However, the average incoming electricity supply in the UK currently falls at around 242V… and can sometimes exceed 250V.
There's a clear difference here – and despite not using this 'over-supply' of voltage, you'll still be paying for it.
So, by installing one of Apollo Enviro's domestic voltage optimisation units, your incoming supply will be optimised to the required level. This will remove the over-supply of voltage, save you money on your electricity bills and give you peace of mind that you are reducing your carbon footprint.
Will it lead to cheaper energy bills?
Apollo Enviro's domestic voltage optimisers could generate savings in the region of 8-15% on your annual energy bills.
According to the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC), the average annual domestic electricity bill for UK households in 2011 was £453 (excluding Economy 7 and Economy 10). Based on this information, if your household's consumption was in-line with the national average, you could save between £36 and £68 per year.
Of course, the level of savings you benefit from will depend on the type of equipment within your household, amongst other things. Get in touch today and we can assess your needs.
Will I be helping the environment?
By optimising your household's electricity supply, you will essentially be removing the over-supply of voltage, thereby consuming less electricity and reducing your carbon footprint; so it's not just money you'll be saving.
With global warming an ever-present issue, now couldn't be a better time to invest in domestic voltage optimisation.
How does Apollo Enviro's domestic voltage optimiser differ from other suppliers' products?
The Amp (A) rating of other domestic voltage optimisation units often means that you can't optimise your entire domestic supply – which means you will be missing out on potential savings.
Our voltage optimisation units are rated at 60A continuous, 100A peak – meaning you can optimise your entire household's electricity supply; which will result in greater savings than you could have achieved using other units.
Find out how much you could save – talk to us today.
Apollo Enviro's domestic voltage optimisation units use RIGHTVoltage technology, which offers both voltage reduction and voltage stabilisation.

1. | Well off | ||
A general sort of synonym for "rich," similar in use to "well-to-do." It's often a term used by those who are accused of being rich, but don't much like the snobbery inherently implied with that term. In such a scenario, it's more supposed to mean something along the lines of, "having enough money that I don't need to worry about my accounts, but not having so much money that I can buy solid gold houses and carved diamond wristwatches every other Tuesday." "I'm not really rich," said William as he paid for everyone's movie tickets, "I'm just well-off."

Obama sends Hillary Clinton to Mideast amid Gaza crisis
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — President Barack Obama dispatched Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to the Middle East on Tuesday as the U.S. urgently seeks to contain the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas.
Clinton hastily departed for the region from Cambodia, where she had joined Obama for summit meetings with Asian leaders. The White House said she would make three stops, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, Palestinian officials in Ramallah and Egyptian leaders in Cairo.
Clinton's trip marks the Obama administration's most forceful engagement in the weeklong conflict that has killed more than 100 Palestinians and three Israelis, with hundreds more wounded. While the U.S. has backed Israel's right to defend itself against rocket fire from Gaza, the Obama administration has warned its ally against pursuing a ground assault that would further escalate the violence and could dramatically increase casualties on both sides.
Still, Obama's deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said the U.S. believes "Israel will make its own decisions about the military operations and decisions that it undertakes."
Watch a report on Hillary Clinton in the Mideast during today's News at Noon.
"At the same time, we believe that Israel, like the United States, like other countries, would prefer to see their interests met diplomatically and peacefully," Rhodes said. "It's in nobody's interest to see an escalation of the military conflict."
Obama and Clinton have consulted about the widening crisis throughout their three-day tour of Southeast Asia, their final joint trip before Clinton leaves her post as the top U.S. diplomat. They spoke again about the situation Tuesday morning, aides said, and made the decision for her to travel to the region.
Still, it was unclear what impact Clinton's presence would have on the spiraling violence or whether she was heading to the Mideast with any specific overtures from the U.S. Rhodes said "there are a number of ideas that are in play," but offered no further details. Continued...
Obama and Clinton each have held multiple telephone calls with their counterparts in Israel and Egypt, which is at the center of negotiations to quell the violence. Because the U.S. considers Hamas a terrorist organization and prohibits contact between its members and American officials, it is relying on Egypt, as well as Turkey and Qatar, to deliver its message to the Hamas leadership in Gaza.
Israel and Hamas say they are open to diplomatic mediation efforts being led by Egypt, but they are far apart in their demands.
Hamas wants Israel to halt all attacks on Gaza and lift tight restrictions on trade and movement in and out of the territory that have been in place since Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007. Israel demands an end to rocket fire from Gaza and a halt to weapons smuggling into Gaza through tunnels under the border with Egypt.
The widening conflict has threatened to overshadow Obama's three-country tour of Southeast Asia, his first overseas trip after winning re-election. The president, after a marathon day that took him from Thailand to Myanmar to Cambodia, worked the phones with Mideast leaders into the early hours of Tuesday morning, aides said.
The White House said Obama will keep working the phones with Middle East leaders while Clinton travels in the region. The president is scheduled to depart Cambodia later Tuesday, arriving back in Washington before dawn Wednesday.

RE: Obamas plan C
Seems kind of hypocritical for the OWS kids to scream about Mitt Romney living in a mansion (costing a fraction of the $35 million being spent on the Obama's future estate) that he bought with money he actually earned…when the Obamas will soon be living in an estate that billionaire banker Penny Pritzker (who also inherited most of her money from the Hyatt Hotels family empire) helps buy for them. No home Romney has ever owned was worth $35 million or situated in the most exclusive and elite neighborhood of probably the most expensive place to live in the country.
It's quite a sham to see the OWS crowd saying a bad word about Republicans at all if they don't simultaneously scream to the rooftops over the sweetheart deal the Obamas are getting — with quid pro quo being that, before he leaves office, Obama just has to see to it that these wealthy benefactors get just about anything they want while he's still sitting behind the Resolute Desk: pardons, pork sent to projects that benefit these people wherever they live, highways built near land they own, promises to not prosecute things that they've done that Eric Holder will happily lose the files on, etc.
Essentially, the last days of the Obama presidency are now available in a fire sale for anyone who contributes enough to the purchase of "Michelle's Dream Home" via Penny Pritzker and the other mega-rich Chicagoans who are behind all this.
Somebody should really call Occupy Wall Street out for not giving Democrats an earful over the Obamas' post-presidential home and its $35 million price tag.

LOL so petty.
Where they live means nothing and will change nothing, yet you think it matters simply because of your personal FEELINGS.
Quick remind us all again how liberals are the ones that make their judgements based off feelings.

"Happy Birthday Kane Sir"
June 3rd, 2010, Mumbai
Happy Birthday, Kane Sir (by Cindy Ryan)
Twenty two hours of travel involving three planes and a few time zones, with a hint of each destination revealed by the passengers in the departure lounges, and I am in India. The heat of Mumbai has attached itself to me and wrapped me in a blanket I can't remove, But, there is no time to adjust to the heat or to the energy of 18 million people moving beside me, behind me, and in front of me. They move like liquid through a clogged drain. There is work to do and everyone here seems to have a purpose whether it is selling limes on a blanket on the street or rushing off to an air-conditioned office to work for a corporation. I have come to work with Kane for one month. As his mother, I have an insider's knowledge about the Dirty Wall Project and the frustrations and the joys of doing charitable work in India and I was eager to see it for myself.
Kane and I are staying in a very small room in a hotel near Crawford Market. There is room to breath, if the fan is on high and we don't both breath at once. The fan pushes hot air around and over us as we try to sleep. The shower delivers only hot water at the end of the day. We get clean but not refreshed. This is how most of India lives, cramped, hot and complacent about the conditions they live with. A blast of air-conditioned air from an open shop door as we walk by is cause for lingering.
After a day spent in Mumbai, I was eager to see Saki Naka, the slum community that Kane does most of his projects in. We leave the hotel at 6:45 a.m. to catch the 7:15 a.m. train from the CST train station, the busiest train station in Asia. Over 6 million people come and go from train stations in Mumbai everyday. Now it's 6 million and two. Mumbai is just waking at this hour. We walk past whole families sleeping under overhangs, smudged tight against walls, laying stick straight in rows on plastic sheets or large pieces of cardboard. Old men drape themselves on the long wagons they will use during the day to push huge loads of goods. Walking around the perimeter of the station we navigate around men carrying huge loads of fish in baskets on their heads. They run, fish guts and sea water dripping down their backs, into the train station to deliver their fishy loads to a waiting train. They get paid per load and there is a frantic sense of duty in the air. The smell of urine, jasmine, car exhaust, and wafting smells from food being prepared in the streets wakes my senses for the day and sometimes I hold my breath.The train trip takes 40 minutes and passes north through Mumbai, offering a view of the daily lives of those who live along the tracks. Our stop is Ghatkopar Station. We funnel out of the train and join the masses of other travellers in a race to the stairs that will take us up and over the railway lines and deposit us out onto the street where we wait for a rickshaw to take us the rest of the way to the slum. This gives us an opportunity to grab a vada pav for breakfast. (a carbohydrate treat of deep-fried potato patty squished into a white bun that has been spread with coriander chutney, a sweet chutney, and dried chili powder accompanied by deep-fried green chilies covered in salt.) I make sure to grab a bottle of water as I am already perspiring and feeling dehydrated. My hair is stuck to my face and my clothing is clinging to me like plastic wrap. Kane seems unfazed by the heat or my disheveled condition!
The rickshaw ride to Saki Naka from the train station is 15 minutes of bone-jarring, dust-eating and fume gulping. I try to pour water into my mouth. I miss. Kane laughs. He has mastered this.
Arriving at Saki Naka we walk down some cement stairs and are instantly in the slum. The 'road' we walk down is the main path through the community and is lined with very small, cement homes with rocks and debris holding down the metal or asbestos roofs. Some are crumbling, some are well-kept and tidy, all are small, cramped and feel temporary. All of the shelters face an enormous metal water pipe. As we make our way deeper into the slum, kids start to run towards us, mothers look up from their chores, and everyone says, "Hello Kane Sir! It is your birthday! Happy Birthday Sir!!Hands are outstretched and Kane slaps each one as he goes by and kids start to follow us. The path is uneven; broken concrete makes walking without looking difficult, and garbage is imbedded in the dirt.
We arrived at the Balwadi (school) and Ashley, the local Indian man who Kane works with, greets us and directs us to go to the garden. Kids gather to play and inspect us. They are introduced to me and then immediately ask why Kane is not dressed up for his birthday. We notice the kids are neatly attired, the girls have fancy dresses on and their hair has been combed and gelled. The kids keep us busy with probing questions and athletic antics until we realize they have all disappeared.
Kane and I continue to chat about the community until we notice a little boy coming towards us with a pointy birthday hat on. He had escaped the Balwadi and let us in on the secret. Forty or fifty people were crammed into the Balwadi, waiting for the party to begin. On the whiteboard they had written "Happy Birthday Kane and Welcome Mrs. Cindy Ryan.The kids all wore birthday hats and their excitement couldn't be contained. The birthday celebration started with a red dot placed on Kane's forehead with grains of rice flicked into the wet dye. Incense was lit and moved in a circle in front of him and then the celebration began. There was a beautiful birthday cake with "Kane" written on the top, lit with trick candles that Kane tried hard to blow out with the help of four or five eager kids. There was music, loud, very loud music. We both received flowers. But, the kids were most excited for Kane to open the gift that they had picked out for him. He unwrapped a transparent globe. Inside the globe is a plastic rose that opens and closes at the flick of the button on the bottom. The kids jumped up and down and held their hands to their mouths waiting for Kane's reaction. Then they eyed the cake. One of the mothers cut the cake into slices and I wondered how everyone would get a piece. Kane was force fed a piece of cake first, and then cake was smeared on his face with everyone in a fit of giggles. I didn't escape the treatment for the honorary guests. Soon I was eating cake fed to me by a mother and wondering how long I had to keep the cake smeared on both sides of my face.
With the music getting louder and kids starting to dance, one of the mothers started to dish out cake to kids who were patiently waiting for the treat. Instead of serving slices, she mushed the frosting together with bits of cake between her fingers and flicked the blobs of cake into eager hands. There were no tantrums for those who missed out, just more dancing.
The party for Kane was a realization about how much this community means to Kane and how much he means to the community. I was welcomed into some of the homes after the party subsided, treated to chai and a cool mango drink. Although we couldn't communicate with words, I could feel the pride that the people of Saki Naka have for their small community, the gratitude they express to Kane and Ashley, and the sincere welcome they prepared for me. The children are gracious, funny and exceedingly polite even though they have few comforts and share very little space with each other. I noticed the closeness of siblings, and the bonds to each other. I realize this is but one layer of a very complex community, that there are demons in some of the homes, sorrow and dread, unhappiness and anxiety, along with a will to live noble, productive lives regardless of their poverty. Kane and Ashley work long days to improve some of their lives, give some comfort, have medical conditions treated, and make sure some of the neediest children are able to go to school through sponsorships by Dirty Wall Project supporters.
After the festivities were over we spent the next few hours enrolling three children,(generously sponsored by Dirty Wall Project donors) in their new school, with grateful parents in tow.
I had two more important people to meet. We travelled in the mid-day heat by train and rickshaw to the offices of the Janvi Charitable Trust where Asha and Andrew were waiting to give Kane another birthday party. Asha and Andrew are trustees of Janvi and also work for Mayan International in an air-conditioned office in the depths of Mumbai's madness. They work with Kane and Ashley in a joint effort on the problems of Saki Naka. Asha is a lovely, doting woman who fed us delicious curries and sweet tea, and with a click of her mouse, she had the office rocking to the tune of "Today is your birthday, you're gonna have a good time……." Loud is good in india. Asha and Andrew gave Kane two new t-shirts and a pair of pants. Kane's clothing, which is slightly grungy and worn is cause for concern in India. Most Indian men wear nicely pressed shirts and pants with creases down the front. We talked about Mumbai and I got to peel back a thin layer that revealed how these three people who were born here feel about their seething city. They wouldn't live anywhere else. Although the party was over, I was hesitant to leave the office, with it's air-conditioned coolness and clean bathroom. Mumbai has very few public bathroom facilities and using one is not for the faint of heart.
A day in spent working with Kane and Ashley in Saki Naka is long, very productive, and full of emotion. I can't wait to go back tomorrow, although with more water and immodium.

Cookbook author Grace Young discovered that making popcorn in her wok accomplished two important things: It delivered a great snack and helped season her pan. She writes, "As the kernels pop, they evenly disperse a light coating of oil around the wok's entire inside surface, which the heat then burns in. Of course, popping corn will not make a new wok suddenly look or behave like a thirty-year-old pan. The traditional way to develop a patina once the wok has been seasoned is to cook regularly with the wok; you cannot replicate the elegance of a truly old wok overnight. However, the popcorn trick will cheat the process a little. If you are content to let your wok slowly age without shortcuts, then use this recipe only if you want perfect popcorn." —Grace Young
Author's Minimal Mess Note: To reduce clean up, I wrap the inside of the wok's lid in aluminum foil, since the oil is dispersed not only on the wok's inside surface but also on the lid.–Grace Young
LC Practice Makes Perfect Note
This is the perfect blueprint for making perfect popcorn, in any vessel, actually. Yet there may still be a little learning curve, a sort of dance, that needs to happen in front of your stove to ensure that your popcorn pops properly. Like learning to increase the heat ever so slightly if a couple minutes go by and you hear nary a pop. Knowing to crack the lid a bit so that steam can escape to avoid slightly sodden popcorn. Even—and this is the tricky part—understanding that popcorn requires a minute or two of resting after being pulled from the heat and before being noshed to ensure the puffy white flakes turn from tough to tender. Practice, as they say, makes perfect. Don't forget that. And don't forget that just because you aren't at the movie theatre doesn't mean you can't drizzle on lots and lots of melted butter—the real deal, not that melted butter-flavoring fakery.
Perfect Popcorn Recipe
- 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- Coarse salt, to taste
- 1. Heat the oil and just a few popcorn kernels in a covered 14-inch flat-bottomed wok (or over very large pot) over medium heat until 1 or 2 kernels begin to pop, about 1 1/2 minutes.
- 2. Quickly open the lid just enough to pour in the remaining popcorn. Immediately cover the wok and reduce the heat to medium-low. If you do not hear constant popping, increase the heat to medium. Shake the wok constantly back and forth on the burner until the kernels stop popping, about 1 1/2 minutes. Immediately dump the popcorn into a bowl and salt to taste.

UNCG's African Studies Program celebrates 30 years of scholarship
By Yasmine RegesterStaff Writer
Published: October 24, 2012
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro celebrated the 30th year anniversary of its African Studies Program last Thursday with a two-day conference on October 18-19.
African Studies (AFS) alumni and department heads gathered on campus for the celebration and the 23rd Annual Conference on African American Culture and Experience with guest speaker Dr. Lenora Fulani, noted psychologist and political activist.
"Instead of saying someone should make a difference and waiting for that someone to emerge, she (Fulani) does the work to show that 'I can make a difference,'" said Director of African American Studies since 2008, Dr. Tara Green.
The theme of this year's conference was, "New Approaches to Black Leadership in the African Diaspora."
In the past 30 years, the African American Studies Program at UNCG (AFS) has grown from two classes in 1982 into a comprehensive interdisciplinary curriculum, which now offers a major, minor and graduate certificate. AFS is a student-centered program, encouraging students, through internships and other programs, to develop ties with the Greensboro community. AFS core faculty and affiliates are now planning to change the name to reflect its growing engagement with global diaspora studies.
"The AFS program links to inclusiveness, collaboration and responsibility. This program really is a gem in the UNC system," said Dr. David H. Perrin, provost and vice chancellor at UNCG.
The opportunity to earn a Bachelors degree in the academic discipline was offered in Fall 2002 and the first class graduated in Spring 2003. Robert Randolph Jr., was one of the first students to receive a BA from the program in 2003.
Randolph received the Distinguished Educator Award at the conference.
"Its a blessing to see the program flourish as it has," said Randolph who is currently the Director of the University Writing Center at N.C. A&T and working on his Ph.D in educational and cultural studies at UNCG.
Ashanti White (03), a political science and African studies graduate said, "I'm happy to still see that continued involvement in the community from the department and its students." White received the Distinguished Author or Scholar Award at the conference.
Jarrod Rudd, AFS ambassador and senior AFS major said, "I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. I really believe in the value of educating youth on the impact and influence of African American studies in a larger way."
The two-day conference culminated with a banquet and keynote speaker, Dr. Lenora Fulani, co-creator of the All-Star Project. Fulani emerged as a political leader and role model when she ran for president and became the first African American woman to appear on the ballot in all 50 states in 1988. As the co-founder of the All-Stars Project, created in 1981, she remains a leader and role model to those who are interested in inspiring youth.
Fulani's program, the All-Stars Project, creates outside-of-school educational and performing arts activities for economically challenged and minority youth. Funding for the All-Stars Project comes from private donors, not government grants.
Fulani explained her approach is to enrich the lives of children who are economically disadvantaged. "These youth cannot see past the poverty in their own environment. There is a connection between one's access to the world and ability to learn with the broader society. Poverty in America is very racialized," said Fulani.
She added, "But if you are an immigrant coming into this country, then it is ok to be poor. They are taught that African Americans are poor by choice because we are dysfunctional, wild and crazy. Its very different being an immigrant and then being the people that helped build the country and still have not been let into the mainstream of this country."
Fulani also encouraged the students to put themselves in situations where they can grow. "I think it's important to be open and honest with what the world is like. I let myself be open to what I had to learn. It has been challenging but you have to put yourself in situations where you're going to grow."

Sacre bleu - Surface Ads are starting to appear in Europe?
Photos have been captured of what appears to be Surface ads in Paris. Taking on the same form of graffiti style as those seen in the US recently we're wondering if this is the start of a concerted effort to get the message out to those in Europe.
These type of ads have been appearing in the US for some time but so far we haven't had anything at all globally, leading many to begin to worry about availability across the pond.
This is the first we have seen of any advertising in Europe and until more appear we're going to take a cautious approach to what this example means. We certainly hope it means widespread availability globally instead of a US centric launch.
Street style Surface ads first spotted in the US
We have previously reported that China is set to get distribution of Surface through Suning stores but little is still known for plans elsewhere. There seems to be no indication that Surface will be available anywhere but online in France, Italy, Germany and the UK. We reported a while back that Surface has at least shown up in product listings on Microsoft store sites in those locations.
Having just come back from Paris I can personally attest to their love of all things graffiti so it wouldn't't surprise me if this advert was a one off. We certainly hope it isn't and it marks the start of a wider campaign to launch Windows 8 and the gorgeous new hardware we know as Surface. With the coming tsunami of advertising pegged for Windows, Xbox and Windows Phone 8 we're sure to see much more activity in this area.
If you have seen any Surface ads where you live outside the US please do let us know.

Jonathan Myrick Daniels
Mar. 20, 1939
Cheshire County
New Hampshire, USA
Aug. 20, 1965
Fort Deposit
Lowndes County
Alabama, USA
Social Reformer. A 1961 alumnus of the Virginia Military Institute (where he graduated as Valedictorian of his class), he entered Harvard University later that to study English Literature. However, he left Harvard when he was accepted into the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in 1963 he began his studies to graduate in 1966. In early 1965, Martin Luther King was asking that students and clergy come to Selma, Alabama to participate in a march to the state capital in Montgomery. Daniels and several other seminary students left for Alabama when they heard King's call. He and a friend of his after seeing how bad things where, decided to spend the next semester and following summer in Alabama, helping out any way they could. They tutored children, helped poor locals apply for government aid, and worked to register voters. During this time Daniels and his friend lived with Black families. On August 13, 1965, Daniels decided to go with a group of people to picket whites-only stores in the small town of Fort Deposit, Alabama. The next day, Daniels and the protestors were arrested and taken to jail in the nearby town of Hayneville, where they were held for six days because they refused to pay bail. Then on August 20, they were released for no apparent reason or any means of transport back to Fort Deposit. Daniels and a few others went down the street to a store that would serve nonwhites to get a cold soft drink. They were met at the door by Tom Coleman, an unemployed highway construction worker, who was holding a shotgun. Coleman threatened the group and then aimed the gun at 16 year old Ruby Sales, Daniels instantly pushed Sales out of the way and was hit with a full load of buck shot in the right chest, killing him instantly. Coleman was acquitted by a jury of twelve white men, on the grounds of "self-defense". Today Daniels is honored by being one of 15 Modern Day Martyrs of the Episcopal Church. V.M.I.'s Jonathan Daniels Humantarian Award is named in honor of him as well as the Daniels Archway at V.M.I.. Author Charles Eagles published a work about him called �Outside Agitator: Jon Daniels and the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama� in 2000.

Terrible customer service.
I've owned an ipod for several years and recently decided to purchase an iPad. I made a reservation in the store and shortly there after discovered that there was an old, inactive e-mail addy linked to the account. I changed the e-mail on-line but was told by the apple store employee that my reservation was still linked to the old e-mail and was unable to be changed. They said i should call in periodically to see if my iPad had arrived. Today i called the store to be told that there was no way to check the reservation. I explained that several people had checked before. The Apple employee continued to tell me I was wrong while treating me as if I were a moron. Awesome customer service, let me tell you. He then told me to change my e-mail on line, I explained that I did but the reservation was still linked to the old addy. Still treating me like an idiot he said that it did work but i didn't receive an e-mail because the iPad wasn't in. Apparently working at the Apple store is a presigious position that makes you SO much smarter than others and non-Apple employees must be treated as the peons they are.
I think I'll just order it online and take my Apple business to the Crabtree Valley Mall store instead.
Genuis gets a kick out of telling customers no.. One of the members at the genius bar was quite rude when we asked if we could purchase a demo model printer. We asked because they were out of stock of almost all printers. It was almost as if this "genius" got some sort of joy out of telling us "no". It is fine if that is not allowed, but I would have appreciated a more polite approach towards customers. Won't be going back there to be treated in such a snub manner any time soon.

Yankee Candle Flagship Store
Like the world's largest ball of twine, the Yankee Candle Flagship Store (25 Greenfield Rd., S. Deerfield, 877/636-7707, www.yankeecandle.com, 9:30 a.m.–6 p.m. daily Jan.–Jul; free) grew from humble beginnings into a tourist trap of epic proportions. At its center is a warehouse-sized candle store, an alphabetized assault on the nostrils from apple cider to white zinfandel. That is just the beginning, however, of a complex that includes countless home-goods stores, a candle-making museum, and even a Bavarian Christmas village complete with model trains and gondolas.

"Flight attendants" are available to help identify species.

Aizawl, Oct. 2: Opposition parties slammed the Lalthanhawla-led Congress government for neglecting the tense situation in the town of Vairengte on the Assam-Mizoram border.
The town is under siege because of the threat of a blockade, led by the All Barak Youth Students Association, demanding entry into the town without the inner-line permit (ILP), a legal requirement.
Deputy commissioners of Cachar and Kolosib districts are scheduled to meet on Friday to discuss the issue.
An NGO, Coordination Committee, and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl held a public meeting in the town yesterday to take stock after Saturdays incident of border incursion, allegedly by an Assam minister.
They resolved to demand strict implementation of the ILP and resist all attempts to dilute it. They said the SDO (civil) should be empowered to issue ILPs for six months at Vairengte, hold talks with the Assam government and ensure the current situation does not escalate into a communal conflict.

Yes, absolutely. For some reason, it is common thinking in the golf world that you either have speed or you don't. Even such greats as Tiger Woods and short-game wizard Paul Runyan have said as much. However, the fact is that training your body to swing faster (using the fundamentals you already have) is like any other aspect of speed, strength, or flexibility that you can work at to improve. Surprisingly to some, the speed gains are greater than you might expect...and it's not really that difficult to do with good knowledge of how to do it!
The Basic Program in particular is designed in such a way that each aspect of the training can be improvised with no additional equipment needed.
No. When Jaacob put together the Basic Program, he wanted it to be such that you can do everything you need to do wherever you like...as long as that place gives you room enough to make swing motions. This means you don't need to go to the gym or driving range to train.
At the time of this writing, Swing Man Golf has over 4,500 members. It is very common to hear back from the members about 12-16 mph (30-40 yards) speed gains with the driver in 30 days. Your anticipated results would be similar. For those who are more ambitious, Jaacob has also listed his training regimes when he was training for RE/MAX World Long Drive Championship Qualifying. The best testimonial thus far has been Steve, a 58 year old senior, who started around 95-100 mph in December. By April he sent Jaacob a photo of his radar at 139mph!!! He went on later that year to compete in the Super Senior division of the RE/MAX World Long Drive Championships...and he won several of his Local Qualifiers.
Although swing speed training seems to work at any age (our youngest member is 12 years old), over 65% are over the age of 45...and over 35% are over age 60. We even have numerous members in their 70s and 80s. No matter the age or sex, the results seem to be the same for everyone as mentioned in the previous question.
No. Jaacob's found through his experience that largest and fastest swing speed training gains are had through a cross-training of the swing. He'll show you how to do that.
Yes. Jaacob designed the training with that in mind. So whether you use a swing that is conventional, the Stack and Tilt, Natural Golf, etc or you use standard equipment or same length irons, the training will work for you.
The Swing Man Golf website, in particular, is about half general golf instruction and half swing speed training (which is the really unique aspect of the site). Jaacob is not aware of anywhere else on the web that has the depth of swing speed training information that is contained inside the Swing Man Golf website. Although Jaacob has Dan's certification, he remains somewhat non-partisan to any particular system. Rather, he likes to teach a variety of things, which is pretty much whatever the student is interested in learning. If the student doesn't know what he/she wants to learn, but has some specific goals he/she wants to accomplish...then Jaacob talks about pros and cons of different aspects (grips, stances, hand actions, leg actions, mental approaches, course strategies, equipment, etc) of what could make the necessary improvement and let the student decide what he/she wants to take from it. So basically, he tailors his instruction to the student's needs.
