You are here
Energy Saver Blog readers interested in saving energy in their homes and starting to take back some of the hard cash they're spending on power should check out this website called Home Energy Saver.
A quick surf through the site turns up a bundle of useful information that can help you save money on energy.
Can you believe that the typical U.S. family spends about $1,900 a year on home utility bills? That's a lot of green I'd rather spend on other things! Sadly, a large amount of that energy is wasted. And each year, electricity generated by fossil fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air than two average cars. In all, roughly 1.2 billion tons of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere as a result of generating the energy to power homes in America.
Alongside these eye-opening facts, the website also features a home energy calculator that allows you to quickly estimate how much money you'd save each year by making simple upgrades to improve the efficiency of your home. I tried it out and entered information about my house to make it more accurate, such as the number of people living in the home, its square footage and number of floors, the heating and cooling systems we have, and the type and approximate size of our windows. When the tool crunched the numbers, it estimated that I could save nearly $1,000 each year and reduce my carbon footprint by 8,300 pounds of CO2 annually by taking some basic energy efficiency steps. It also broke down the savings by specific energy upgrade, so I could see which ones are the easiest and most affordable.
It recommended upgrades including a programmable thermostat (saving $96 each year), efficient indoor lights (saving $68), and energy-efficient clothes washer, water heater, and electric clothes dryer (saving $35, $49, and $77 respectively). By spending a little more and adding insulation in the walls, attic, and basement (saving $566), and installing high-efficiency windows (saving $85), I could really cash in. The calculator estimated that I would pay off all of the top 12 upgrades in seven years with the energy I would save. I'm not ready to make all of the upgrades that it recommended, but it helped me prioritize the ones that I can afford now and make a list of others I'd like to do in the future.
American consumers spend $241 billion each year on energy for home use. In fact, about 1 in 5 of the nation's energy dollars is spent in homes. Energy efficiency improvements could cut this number by well over half.
You have the power to reduce energy demand every day in your home, and when you cut your use, you cut the amount of natural resources, like coal and gas, needed to make energy. That means you release less greenhouse gas emissions, which keeps air cleaner for all of us, and you save big time on your utility bills!

Introducing my new son Daniel Karl Johnston, born late last night at 9 lbs 3 oz. Here he is, some five minutes old, with his proud mama and papa.
For those interested, I'll post a photostream later with more pictures and details.
I also have some more big news to share, which I'll post as soon as I get a breather. (I assure you, there are good reasons for my absences of late….)

Public invited to Jimmy Dean open house
April 26, 2013
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist University officials are inviting the public to view and
tour the newly constructed Jimmy Dean Hall on Sunday afternoon from 2-3:30 p.m.
The come-and-go open house will consist of a brief dorm tour, along with refreshments, a reel of Jimmy Dean television commercials and appearances, and a photo display that tells the Jimmy Dean story. An official dedication will be held in the courtyard at 2:30 p.m.
The dorm has housed students this academic year, while small finishing touches were
continuing to be made. The final pieces were put into place earlier this week as several
photographs and a large portrait were hung on display telling the story of Jimmy Dean's
rise from a poor boy in Seth Ward to the top of the entertainment industry.
Jimmy Dean Hall is a three-story structure with 175 double-occupancy rooms. It features the latest in "green" technologies as well as technology that helps ensure the safety of Wayland students.
Jimmy and Donna Dean originally gave $1 million to Wayland in 2008. In 2012, an additional $5 million was donated, the majority of which will be used to fund a Jimmy Dean addition to the Museum of the Llano Estacado. Along with the $5 million, Donna Dean has shipped Jimmy Dean memorabilia to Wayland to use in the museum. The Wayland administration has already hired an architect to design plans for the museum addition. Administrators hope to break ground on the project this summer.
Jimmy Dean was born in Olton on Aug. 10, 1928. He was raised by his mother in Seth Ward. He dropped out of high school to join the Merchant Marines. His love for music led him to a career, recording his first big hit "Bummin' Around" in 1953. He established the Jimmy Dean Sausage Company in 1969. Jimmy married Donna Meade in 1991 and the two lived in Richmond, VA. Dean was inducted into the Virginia Country Music Hall of Fame in 1997 and the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. He was inducted in the Country Music Hall of fame posthumously in 2010. Dean died on June 13, 2010.

This test was more positive than any were in my last (unsuccessful) pregnancy. Some may ask why I needed to buy another test, but knowing the beta hcg was multiplying as expected was really reassuring.
SR and I immediately agreed on the name Finnbjørn, if it is a boy. Perhaps it's too early to think of names, but it sure is fun. We had The Lorax's name (Christian) picked out before he was even conceived. Finnbjørn is an old Scandinavian name meaning bear from the most northern part of Scandinavia. Seems like the name of a survivor. Perhaps you all think I'm joking. Anyway.
Here are the names we're considering for a girl: Pascale, Annika, Beate.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I know it's a bit early - but you are welcome chime in with your thoughts. The next time I write we'll be in the US. Happy Thanksgiving to the Americans :).

Surely this is a good sign.
I love the meaning of the boy's name. Is there a female Scandinavian equivalent for a strong woman?
Hope you have an uneventful journey. Happy Thanksgiving.
- 24 November 2010 at 16:06
Wow a very positive sign it is, congratulations!
- 24 November 2010 at 16:18
- Brianne said...
I tried to sell my husband on the name Pascale but, uh, he didn't buy it. Too bad cause I have always loved it. So that's my vote.
- 24 November 2010 at 16:39
- Meghan said...
Congrats on your pregnancy Sea Legs. What a great Thanksgiving gift, something to be truly thankful for. I'm so excited for your family!
- 24 November 2010 at 16:52
- SteveQ said...
As a cartoon fan, I thought "Ren Hoeg" sounded good, but I like all of your choices; I know one Beate (German), who has to pronounce her name to all Americans, which might be a consideration.
- 24 November 2010 at 17:14
Congratulations! So excited for you, SLG!
- 24 November 2010 at 18:38
- PiccolaPineCone said...
I love Pascale. It was on my list for la cocotte. It works for a girl or boy by adding or dropping the e.
Curious to know how you're feeling??
- 25 November 2010 at 02:36
- sea legs girl said...
Ewa, that is a great thought about female equivalent. Since the name is actually originally Icelandic, the equivalent might be something like Finnbjörk (birch from the far north), but we couldn't really call our daughter Finn or Björk for obvious reasons :). Þora is also a really cool, strong female Icelandic name, but the pronunciation would just be a huge problem in the US.
And that brings me to thanking Steve Q for pointing that out about Beate. I had a friend in high school with that name and no one seemed to have trouble with it, but I can see how, as an adult, it might be different.
Brianne and PPC, that is so cool about Pascale. It has also been a favorite of mine for many years, but SR is not easily convinced since it is more commonly a boy's name in Denmark.

Hope the Thanks will be given, and the Dreams come true...or is it from Christmas? Congrats:)
- 26 November 2010 at 01:31
My husband is called Björn and nobody understands that name outside the Nordic countries, so maybe you want to reconsider your choice. Our son is called Jesper - I can really recommend that name. It is short, reminds you of your DK roots, positive (begins with "yes!") and can be combined with other nice middle names.
- 26 November 2010 at 08:38
- sea legs girl said...
Hey Olga - thanks. Considering how frightening my dreams have been lately, I'll just settle with the giving thanks part! :)
That is a good point about Bjoern (which I can't even type on this American keyboard). One of the reasons we agreed on it is he'd just be known as Finn in the US, but would be officially Finnbjoern and known as Finnbjoern in DK.
I love the name Jesper, though I have to admit I prefer the Danish pronunciation. Though it is a really good name to be used both places.
- 26 November 2010 at 10:29
- SteveQ said...
Okay, so what's the Danish pronunciation of Jesper? Americans are used to golfer Jesper (yesper) Parnevik's name, if not his clothes, so that's the one you'd hear used in the US.
Now you know why I skip the diacritics. Let's see if it works here: BjØrn. (came out a capital, I think - it's number lock, hold down alt and type 0216) Oy vey.
- 26 November 2010 at 18:39
- sea legs girl said...
Really? I had always heard Jesper in the US pronounced Djesper instead of Yesper. The former reminds me of a mountain boy from Tennessee. Nothing wrong with mountain boys, though.
- 26 November 2010 at 20:30
- Stefanie Schocke said...
Thanks for posting!!! CONGRATS!!!! (I have never taken a pregnancy test until a few days after my missed period). I cannot believe how yours show up so early! I know it's dependent on your levels of HCG...but wow!
- 28 November 2010 at 23:26
- Kate said...
I love Finnbjoern for the reasons you said - it works in the US (Finn) and Denmark.
Of the girls' names, I love Annika.

Cara Benson, author of poetry book (made)and the forthcoming "Funny. Considering how heated it was," and receipient of a Poetry Fellowship from the New York Foundation for the Arts, blogs about teaching poetry at the Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility.
The poetry workshop I facilitate at Mt. McGregor Correctional Facility, a medium security state prison in Wilton, New York, began as a three month teaching practicum for my graduate degree. It became clear fairly quickly that three months wasn't nearly enough to meet the interest and needs of the students inside. So we extended it to four months. Then five. Then a year. Now it's been seven years and counting.
In that time we have covered such varied poets as Lu Chi, Rumi, Sappho, Amiri Baraka, Federico García Lorca, T.S. Eliot, Sonia Sanchez, EE Cummings, Audre Lorde, Muriel Rukeyser, LaTasha N. Nevada Diggs, Alice Notley, Gil Scott-Heron, and CA Conrad. The list is growing like the years. Dozens of men - maybe a hundred - have come to and through the class. Some on the outside are now proud graduates of Higher Education. On the inside, a few lifers have been there since my first day. I have seen many things happen in that classroom, but fostering the dissolution of preconceived notions of what can be called "poetry" under the influence of poems like Joan Retallack's "A I D /I/ S A P P E A R A N C E" or Douglas Kearney's page work is particularly gratifying. I've seen, like realizing blondes aren't the only beauties, the canon explode in front of our faces, and I tell you that this is a very right thing to be happening inside.
Last month we read Harryette Mullen's Muse & Drudge and discerned a number of tactics worth replicating. The participants loved her multiple voices, taut quatrains, and ability to twist common sayings into such rhythmic, flipped scripts. This month we are working with Rob Budde's Declining America. There is a section in this book that plays out in scenes he's called "My American Movie" after Jean Baudrillard's America. So we are writing our own American scenes under the influence of his text. His poems gyrate without punctuation and stream as one undulating and pullulating sentence in prose, and the task I've given us of emulating his approach has proven provocative and productive.
Eric Perez, one of the participants, has this to say about the class: "Our poetry workshop has given us a unique opportunity to liberate ourselves from an oppressive system, even if only for a brief time during the week. This helps us to reach a broader understanding of life and its circumstances and to push the boundaries of our intellect in order to build our self esteem." I am very grateful to Poets & Writers for the support it gives for the class. It can be really challenging, the proverbial upstream swim, to be a volunteer poet for the New York State Department of Corrections. Poets & Writers not only provides remuneration, but it legitimizes the endeavor. It truly has helped me to show up week after week, year after year. And as the late poet and tireless prison educator/activist Janine Pommy Vega used to say to me whenever I complained about a seeming setback or "lost" student: "Cara, you just keep going in." So I do.

In fact, the sky's the limit when it comes to modern-day decorating. Identical designs are no longer the norm. Nowadays, your personality is reflected in your room's interiors.
To create a new look and feel to your room, you may want to try this more up-to-date form of interior decorating. Although there are different classifications to modern design, they can be used as a guide to how you can go about redecorating your place.

* I'm working on an update on this post to provide more detailed information. If you're looking to gauge your chances of applying for a course normally, I recommend reading this: So you have just gotten your A level results and trying this tool: University Admission Score Calculator.
If you're reading this now, you probably have already been rejected by one of the local universities. Don't worry though! There are still many things that you can do to increase your chances during the appeal stage (or even if you've already been rejected after appealing).
I'm a male "A" Level student (from one of the lowest ranked JC) who was rejected by all 3 local universities for 3 years (That's about (3 (normal applications) + 3 (appeals each year) ) x 3 years = 18 times!) before I finally decided to do things out of the norm and try my luck.
My A-Level grades were:
H2 Phy: C
H2 Math: B
H2 Econs: B
H1: Chem: S
CCA: Just some club thing. No competitions or activities. Almost non-existant.
As you can notice, I failed my H1 chemistry which I was told was a huge deal breaker because it was vital to the computation of your UAS (University Admission Score).
I did retake my chemistry in my second year of service which was 2 years after I took my "A" levels and do well. Only managed to get a D which wasn't as bad as finding out that you can only join your certificate if the subject is taken within a year of the previous one so in the end it was of no use to me. Just take note of this if reconsidering retaking any of your modules.
EDIT: Please note that by right only the H1 content-based subject, H1 Project Work (PW) and H1 Mother-Tongue Language (MTL) subject can be of a different sitting. Computation of your UAS will take into account grades for GP/KI and 3 H2 subjects attained at 1 sitting of the A-level examination.
How to appeal
1. Do your research!
The most important thing to do before appealing is to do your research! This involves reading local forums such as Brightsparks or the Hardwarezone Degree Forums (More Active) so that you can gauge the competition each course faces, subject requirements, rough UAS required to gain admittance and how many are likely to drop them for another course. You can also buy research papers online cheap to get a good idea what sort of work you are expected to do once you are there.
2. Appeal Normally
After you have done sufficient research and chosen a course that you wish to appeal, appeal through the school's portals normally. Most of them require that you write essays and some like NTU just require you to write a short paragraph. For my NTU appeal, all I wrote was:
I would really like to be a part of NTU and as a creative, hardworking and dedicated student; I feel that I would be an asset to NTU. I would be glad to participate in an interview to better present myself and discuss how my talents can be of value.
Remember that they already have your grades so don't waste your precious characters putting them in. I had no special talents but if you do, it would be wise to add it in. For universities that require essays, you can write personal statements to show your passion. I have included my own for the other universities in the attached zip file below. If you're appealing to other courses and need more samples, click here.
3. Appeal with help from your Member of Parliament
Your constituency most likely has meet the people sessions fortnightly. Take this opportunity to meet with them and get them to assist you in writing an additional appeal to all four schools. Remember to bring everything you deem will be useful in writing your appeals such as your academic transcripts, letters of recommendation (any have) and personal statements (see attached zip file) if you've already written one.
Remember to come prepared. Have a clear goal of the courses you would like to appeal and how you would like to go about doing it for each of them. If you can draft the letters yourself, it's better.
4. Individual letters of appeal
This may seem rather extreme but it's something I feel may have helped me (and the rest who have tried it) the most. This step involves tediously searching through the school's contact directory for head of departments, deans etc. who are directly linked to your course in some way and mailing them letters of appeal with your personal statement attached (see attached zip file).
Although some may consider just e-mailing these professors, I would strongly advice against it. Email's are easily forgotten and ignored. Take the time (and money) to send personalized letters to them. An example of such an appeal letter would be (included in zip file):
Your Name
Associate Professor Chua
Division of Engineering Mechanics
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Office: N3-xxx-xx
50 Nanyang Avenue
Singapore 639798
Dear Associate Professor Chua,
I am writing this letter to appeal the outcome of my application to the School of Mechanical Engineering. Although I understand that my grades, XXX/X for Mathematics, Economics, Physics and Chemistry respectively may not be up to par with the with the rest of the students, I believe that I have the aptitude necessary to become successful. Should my application be reconsidered, I will do my best to meet and exceed the expectations required by the students attending your college.
Attached is my personal statement which outlines my desire to study at the School of Mechanical Engineering as well as my other accomplishments and interests that I feel may be of value to your faculty.
Realizing the limitations of a written page, I would welcome the opportunity to participate in a personal interview to answer any of your questions and to better present myself and my qualifications and how they can be of benefit as a student of the School of Mechanical Engineering. Should you need to contact me, I can be reached at 9xxxxxxx.
I thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to a positive reply from you.
Your Name
Application Number: A00000000
5. If your appeal has already been rejected, RE-APPEAL!
This is for those whose appeals have already been rejected. Although I've not personally tried this, I have heard of a few cases of people who have re-appealed (by emailing the admissions department directly) and gotten places in courses such as NTU's Business Administration. Usually these people have more supporting documents in their re-appeal such as testimonials from their polytechnic or JC tutors, current employers etc.
Please feel free to use the attached sample appeals for your reference. More information regarding its use has been included in the read me file in the zip. Here's to wishing you all the best in your appeal!
Attached Files:
Appeal Tools – Zueet.com
– Contains sample appeals for NTU and NUS Engineering, SMU Information Systems and SUTD. There are also sample personal appeal letters to professors.

Reader Dino Rhymestyle put this lovely video together the other day, using the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft, some capture gear and the relentless passage of time.
Setting up a lava drip, he captures the slow, inevitable destruction of a house and surrounding countryside. It's beautiful. Partly because the game's music suits scenes like this so damn well.

Gigamods necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 32 diseños de 15 diseñadores freelance.
GigaMods.com is an e-tailer specializing in the sale, service and support of Gigabit Optical Networking Modules. If you have a networking background, you may be familiar with fiber optic transceivers that go into network switches made by manufacturers such as Cisco Systems, Juniper, Dell, Extreme Networks, HP and other It equipment manufacturers. We sell and support these optical networking modules.
Folks who purchase optical transceivers from us would tend to be IT Departments and Networking equipment buyers.
Looking for a cool, clean, brandable logo for GigaMods.com. We're kind of interested in having something with a "robot" theme (think Google Android logo), but is should be clean and simple and incorporate 1-2 colors.
In terms of color palette for the logo, here is a link to the Magento e-commerce template we will be using for the site http://cms.template-help.com/magento_23658/. The logo you design should be compatible with the color scheme you see in this site template.
Also, I have attached some source file reference material. There are a few robot graphics we thought were cool, and there is also a Google Images screenshot showing images of various optical transceivers, good examples of the types of products we sell.
We would like the logo to perhaps incorporate elements of a robot and an optical transceiver, if that makes sense....feel free to be creative, but we'd like the logo to convey a sense of the type of product we sell, which is specifically, optical networking transceivers (commonly known in the industry as a "GBIC", "SFP module", "Gigabit transceiver", etc.

TweakTown's Guide to Taking Your Tech on the Road (Page 1)
TweakTown's Guide to Taking Your Tech on the Road
So, what do you do when you want to "get away", but really, really want to make sure you are still connected? This is the question that I ask myself every time we pack up the truck for a weekend of camping. The list goes something like this :-
- Tent - (used to be camper)
- Kayaks
- Bikes
- Coolers
- Food
- Sleeping bags
- Laptop, extra battery, surge protector, iPhone...
It is about this time that my wife looks at me and rolls her eyes. I can remember camping when I was a kid and sleeping on the ground, no flashlights, you know the drill. But now at the age of 40 I have evolved; my tastes and likes have changed. In short, I have become a super geek and need my gadgets with me all the time.
Still, how does this work out and what do you bring on the road with you to make sure you have a nice comfortable "camping" experience? Well, let's first take a look at the factors that determine your gadget needs and load when getting away from it all.
Power -
Power is probably the biggest factor in any camping trip. If you are hitting up a park with full hookups you are good to go whether you are in a camper or a tent. But you are not always going to be able to have that. There will be times when you might have to rough it and bring your power with you.
Your options here are pretty simple, right? Get a generator and you are good. Well, yes and no. Recently there has been a pretty good run of external batteries and even some solar charging systems that can keep your battery full of juice. One that I recently looked at was the HyperMac MBP222, a 222 Watt Hour monster that can also charge USB devices.
Unfortunately this is for Apple's newer laptops only and as I only own a PC it makes it a little less than useful. It will also cost you a hefty $500.00 and weighs in at 4.7 pounds.But not to worry, there are other products that are similar to the HyperMac that work with PCs like the Amstron PP66S. This is a 1.7 pound,66 Watt Hour External Battery.
Technically this should give your laptop an extra 2 hours of life. Of course, that is under very particular conditions. This means you get an extended life out to about 3 hours on most laptops. Of course, the Amstron is not the only option. There are plenty out there that can get you up to twice the life of your typical internal 6-cell battery.

24 Hour Fitness Returns To USA Basketball Roster For Second Olympics
By Barry Janoff
June 26, 2012: USA Basketball unveiled today a partnership with 24 Hour Fitness making the fitness club chain an official partner of the both the men's and women's U.S. National Teams.
24 Hour Fitness said it would ramp up activation during training camps and exhibition games before the Summer Olympics and then have marketing presence in London during the Games.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This marks 24 Hour Fitness' second partnership with USA Basketball, following a deal in 2008 prior to the Summer Olympics in Beijing, where both national hoops teams won gold medals.
This is the fourth new partnership for USA Hoops in recent weeks following a deal signed with Right Guard making it the official deodorant and body wash of USA Basketball, Burger King and Dr Pepper Snapple Group (7UP, Sunkist). Other marketing partners include Nike, PepsiCo's Gatorade, State Farm, Tiffany, American Express, Cisco, Metro PCS, Jeep, Got Chocolate Milk? and Visit Las Vegas.
"24 Hour Fitness has a proven history of helping world-class athletes train and perform at the highest levels," Jerry Colangelo, chairman for USA Basketball. "By teaming with USA Basketball, 24 Hour Fitness will provide 'best in class' resources for the talented players from the USA Basketball men's and women's National Teams competing at the London 2012 Olympic Games this summer."
As part of its activation, 24 Hour Fitness said it would promote the alliance in its clubs and during USA Basketball games, media and special events. The company said it would also run an employee contest awarding tickets to an upcoming exhibition game.
"By teaming with USA Basketball, 24 Hour Fitness will provide 'best in class' resources for the talented players from the men's and women's National Teams."
In London, 24 Hour Fitness helped to design and will sponsor the U.S. Olympic Committee's High Performance Training Center, where athletes, including the USA Basketball men's and women's National Teams, will train and prepare for the 2012 Olympic Games.
"In our 30 year history, 24 Hour Fitness has been fortunate to support many great teams and athletes," Carl Liebert, 24 Hour Fitness president and CEO, said in a statement. "We were there with USA Basketball in Beijing to celebrate their success in bringing home gold medals in 2008, and we are honored to continue this legacy as the teams prepare for the 2012 Olympic Games in London."

My mom was nice enough to buy me an ice cream maker a few weeks ago. I had bought her the same one back at Christmas and she loved it so much that she thought I should have one too. I can't even tell you how excited I was to get it. I've been pulling ice cream recipes out of magazines for months hoping that I would get one eventually.
I came home that night, washed everything out, cranked the freezer up as high as it would go, and hoped that inner piece would freeze quickly. I ended up staying awake most of the night waiting for my first batch of sorbet but it was so worth it. I just wish I would've remembered to turn the freezer back down. The container my sorbet went into eventually cracked. Poo.
The Lemonade Iced Tea Sorbet was lovely though. Being from Alabama, I'm a sweet tea kind of girl. No lemon, please. But I really enjoyed this sorbet. It was tart but still sweet. It's definitely a keeper, even if the husband refused to even try it.
|Lemonade Iced Tea Sorbet.
- 2 cups boiling water
- 4 regular-sized English Breakfast tea bags
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- 1 cup ice water
- Combine 2 cups boiling water and tea bags in a large bowl; steep 5 minutes. Discard tea bags. Add sugar to tea mixture, stirring until sugar dissolves. Cool completely. Stir in juice and 1 cup ice water; chill 1 hour.
- Pour tea mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Spoon sorbet into a freezer-safe container. Cover and freeze 1 hour or until firm.

Chino Shorts
Good summer times often involve some chino shorts. Chino shorts are the perfect option for an active dude who likes to look good, but wear some shorts that can handle rough-and-tough living. Many skateboarders look to chino shorts when the weather warms up, as chino material is a tight twill knit that is much more resistant to scuffing. So you can skid on some asphalt and have your shorts live to tell the story (try to avoid this).
Chino shorts are also just a sweet style of shorts, perfect with a short sleeve button up on the warm summer days. Zumiez carries a large selection of chino shorts from the hottest brands... Volcom chino shorts, Free World chino shorts, RVCA chino shorts, KR3W chino shorts, and more.

Perfect In Case of Slips or Falls
Get Security and Protection for Yourself or Your Loved ones with our Medical Alert Systems.
Stay Safe in Your Own Home.
Don't Delay – Call Today for More Info!
Call hours – Open 24/7
You've probably seen the ads on TV and in magazines: How do you get help in a medical emergency when you're alone at home? The makers of medical alert systems promise that their products will come to the rescue, whether you've fallen and you can't get up or you're experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, stroke, or seizure. The ads are reaching a receptive audience: Sales of med-alert services are growing as the baby boom generation ages.Medical alert systems were introduced in the 1970s as simple push-button devices worn around the neck. They summoned help by signaling a base station connected to a home phone line that would alert a call-center operator. Today's systems are still wearable, but you can also mount help buttons throughout the home that allow for two-way voice communication with call centers. Some offer motion-sensitive pendants that can detect a fall and place a call for help.
Who needs one? Most buyers purchase a system for an aging parent who lives alone so that they can get help quickly if needed. That person might be at a heightened risk for falls because of poor eyesight or memory changes, says Barbara Resnick, Ph.D., professor of nursing at the University of Maryland and past president of the American Geriatrics Society. The systems can also be useful in nonemergency situations where the user doesn't need an ambulance but does need someone to come to their aid. The call center will alert a preselected relative or friend who can come over and assist.
Benefits of Medical Alert System in Mc Dougal Arkansas
The experts we consulted recommend looking for a medical alert system that meets all or most of these criteria.
It works for a user's specific disability. For example, a stroke survivor may need a device he or she can activate with one hand.
It offers a choice of a wristband and/or neck pendant. Cords worn around the neck can pose a strangulation risk; wristbands may irritate those with skin ailments.
It includes help buttons that can be wall-mounted near the floor in multiple rooms in case the user falls and isn't wearing the pendant.
It offers multiple choices for whom to contact if you need help, from emergency services to a friend or relative who lives nearby.
It has a battery backup in case of a power failure.
The base station can be contacted from anywhere on your property"even in your yard or at your mailbox.
The company has its own monitoring center, in the U.S., and employs its own trained emergency operators (rather than contracting that function out).
The monitoring center has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a nonprofit safety and consulting company.

Questions about the Personal Emergency Response System
Does the medical alert system come with other services? Some medical alert systems come with additional services such as medication reminders, glucose monitoring reminders, and the like. It's good to know what other services can be included with the purchase of your services, so make sure you ask what's included.
7. What happens if something goes wrong with my equipment? Most of us hate reading the fine print. I challenge anyone out there to read the "terms and conditions" of the 5 or 6 medical alert devices you want to evaluate (gives me a headache even thinking about doing that again). So that in mind, I would encourage anyone making a decision on a particular device to ask; What happens if your system goes down? Does someone come out to fix it? Will they send you another one asap? Do you need to send the dysfunctional system back? etc. Also, one other point… when you have narrowed down your choice, read the fine print by looking up the terms-and-conditions of the particular provider on their websites.
8. Does the medical alert system include "automatic fall detection"? Medical alert systems have come a long way in the last 5 years. Today's advanced systems can detect when a user has fallen automatically. It's all in the advanced algorithms developed by brilliant engineers and embedded into small devices which are saving lives everyday. These smart-systems can distinguish (in most cases) between when someone has actually fallen, and when someone has decided to sit down abruptly. "The big three" that (currently) offer automatic fall detection are Halo Monitoring Systems, Wellcore Personal Emergency Response, and Philips Lifeline with auto alert.
9. Am I purchasing these devices, or leasing them, or neither? Goes back to my prior suggestion about reading the fine print… Find out (ahead of time) whether the equipment is yours or not. What happens if you no longer require the equipment? What happens if you damage the equipment?
10. What is my total yearly cost? This gets down to "brass tax"… How much does this cost me each year (total cash outflow). Enough said.

How to pick the right one in AR
Medical alarm systems for seniors can mean the difference between life and death. Each year, more than one-third of senior citizens living alone experience a fall. This is a terrifying event if the person has to spend hours or days on the floor with no help. This or any other type of emergency requires immediate medical attention. Receiving immediate care decreases the level of sustained injuries and increases the chances of survival.
Literally having a medical alarm system at your fingertips ensures prompt medical care in an emergency. Many seniors fear falling when no one is around. This causes many to limit their daily activities. A reduction in physical fitness and mobility can increase the risk of falling. Further, inactivity reduces the quality of life for many seniors.
The security of a medical alert system removes the daily risks for many seniors. A medical alert system from companies such as Monitor Me helps thousands of seniors regain their independence, sense of security and quality of life.
In the age of the cell phone, many seniors might think a medical alert system is redundant. Unlike a cell phone that is subject to dropped calls, a medical alert system is designed to be reliable and simple to use. Even during a stressful situation, all a senior citizen has to do is press a button. He or she is immediately connected to a certified EMT who assesses the situation and provides paramedics with pertinent information.
Everyone does not carry a cell phone constantly. However, the pendant that comes with the alert system can be worn as a necklace or bracelet. Further, not many cell phones continue to work after being submerged in water. The pendant is waterproof and can be worn in slippery places where an accident might happen.
Compared to a cell phone that requires charging, medical alert systems come with a battery backup. Even when the power goes out, the system will continue to operate. A prompt connection occurs each time the button is pushed.
How a Medical Alert System helps you?
Do your aging parents need a home medical alert system?
Part of the aging process includes increased frailty, and increased chance of accidents. All it takes is one fall for an elderly person to end up with months of hospitalizations, medical bills, rehabilitation, and more. In addition, the elderly are more likely to have medical issues that may require immediate attention. And there are, of course, a host of other problems that can come up as well, from a furnace going out in the middle of winter, to a tree falling due to a thunderstorm. They may need help, and not be able to reach a phone. Whatever the reason, it is easy to see why your aging parents need to be able to contact help quickly if needed; the kind of help that home medical alert systems can provide.
Choose a home medical alert system that is right for your senior
Trying to sort through the hundreds of home medical alert systems can be overwhelming and confusing. Careful research of all of the features of the systems being considered is an important first step in choosing the best one for your aging parents. The best way to start is by learning how these systems are designed to work.
You will find that most home medical alert systems fall into two different categories: those that come with 24/7 monitoring services, and those that provide equipment only, but no service.
Home medical alert systems with monitoring service
Home medical alert systems that provide a monitoring service will usually include a service agreement between the customer and the monitoring company. These types of systems work like this: if the alert device is activated, the monitoring system is notified, and they in turn, contact the designated people and/or emergency personnel.
An important consideration when choosing a system with monitoring is that they are typically more expensive than products without. There will be a monthly fee charged for this service, which can be in the range of $30-40 per month, in addition to an installation or activation fee.

text: A group led by researchers at UC Berkeley have successfully tested and developed a bus that steers itself using magnets built into the road. While the driver still controls the acceleration and braking, and can take over steering, a computerized system is responsible for the direction of the bus. As simple as it sounds, this development could have a large and positive impact on transit in the future. In stand-alone form, the system will help guide the bus within a centimeter of the curb accurately and predictably, thus reducing the time taken for stops. Additionally, the precise movements mean that bus lanes can be narrowed by two feet. The most important use of this system, though, involves Bus Rapid Transit. Bus Rapid Transit uses buses along a dedicated lane, like a train, making stops at every station and picking up passengers. As an alternative to light rail train lines, which are expensive and often controversial (though a great solution in many situations), a Bus Rapid Transit line is relatively inexpensive to build and operate and offers the advantages of rail with the flexibility of buses. The addition of magnet guidance technology, which has been estimated to contribute only slightly to the cost of most BRT lines, would allow these buses to be utilized in an even more train-like fashion. It may not save the world but it's a fairly practical way to make bus service more efficient. [Wired]

Letter to the Editor: We can't allow current Squaw project to go through
My name is Jeri Mullins and I have lived in the Tahoe area for 47 years. I rarely miss a day to marvel at the surroundings our area has to offer. We have all at one time or another rode the chair lifts on Shirley on a sunny day, walked along the bike path in Squaw and coming around the next turn and seeing the majestic mountain that Squaw has to offer. Squaw Valley is the place to be in the winter months – not many other ski areas can offer the fantastic skiing or the views of this legendary and majestic mountain.
I can hardly imagine a family living in Los Angeles or San Francisco sitting around the dining room table discussing their summer vacation, saying, "what do want to do on our vacation in Tahoe this summer. Should we hike to Shirley Canyon, should we go to Emerald Bay? The second most photographed place in the world? We could hike up to Five Lakes where the water is clear and pristine? We always enjoy a wonderful lunch on the patio at Sunnyside where the views are spectacular. Or should we go to Squaw Valley and spend our vacation at the newly built water park?
Summertime in Lake Tahoe is all about Big Blue and what the outdoors has to offer – visitors come here to spend their time enjoying what this great vacation area has to offer.
Please don't let this project go forward in the presently proposed scale. We would all lose such a beautiful mountain, our Olympic Mountain.

Supporters of a new Italian anti-austerity party led by former comedian Beppe Grillo are celebrating early results pointing to a stunning electoral success that could turn the movement into the country's third biggest political force.
In Grillo's home town of Genoa in northwest Italy on Monday, the beer flowed at a local bar - the Mente Locale - where candidates and activists crowded in to cheer as preliminary results showing they might have won as much as a quarter of the vote.
Dozens of mostly young candidates - some close to the minimum age of 25 and many with little or no political experience - are set to enter parliament for the first time as Italians fed up with austerity and corruption flocked to their ranks.
"This is an extremely strong sign of change," said Stefano Camisasso, a candidate for the Five Star Movement (M5S) for the Senate, containing his euphoria as he planned the move to Rome.
Another candidate, Cristina De Pietro, said she was still in shock as she watched a television.
"This is a moment when you feel a bit weird because we are ordinary citizens, we don't have political experience," she said.
"We have a lot to learn," she said.
Asked what she made of the early results, she said simply: "This is what Italy needed!"
Grillo, a bushy-haired 63-year-old, took to the campaign trail in a camper van, travelling to rallies across the country which drew large crowds of young people, pensioners and women sick of traditional politicians tainted by scandals.
The internet-based movement has called for Italy's public debt to be cancelled and for a referendum on whether to stay in the eurozone, as well as advocating for a 20-hour working week.
It grew out of Grillo's popular blog and forced Italy's main parties to take it seriously when it won the highest number of votes for any single party in regional elections in Sicily last year.
Another candidate, Davide Barillari, said: "We're just ordinary citizens who have come into politics from the bottom. We are the answer to corrupt politicians."
"We are immensely happy. Italians no longer have their eyes closed!"

GETDOT's name began as something of a sly joke.
GETDOT's name began as something of a sly joke.
Back when Chip Ramsey and Scott Boles began plans to found a networking group, Boles suggested the name GETDOT, which initially stood for "Good Excuse to Drink on Thursday."
Ramsey and Boles said they were trying to get away from the "cheesy" and "in-your-face" networking events they had attended.
"Our intent was to get to know people and not just walk around and hand out business cards," said Ramsey, Hilliard resident. "The business part will take care of itself."
Boles, an Upper Arlington resident, said it was about getting people to invest in each other.
"In a relaxed environment, you make friends," Boles said. "The culture we're trying to do is (one where you) create friends. ... An investment in the relationship goes much farther."
In 2006, the pair officially launched GETDOT, and now, the name stands for "Good Excuse to Donate on Thursday."
"That's the basis of the whole thing," Ramsey said. "It just had a nice ring to it."
Today, GETDOT has 3,000 members in the Columbus area, another 1,000 in Cincinnati and another 800 in Nashville, Tenn. The organization became an incorporated 501(c)(3) organization in 2010.
As membership grew, Boles and Ramsey decided it was time to put GETDOT to another good use.
"Now, we've got so many people, it's time to do something with a purpose," Boles said. "That's what makes it a little more worthwhile."
The organization holds 10 fundraising events each year for a number of charities in the area, including Franklin County Children Services, the Tri-Village Mentor League, Tyler's Light, Success Beyond the Classroom and more.
On July 11, at a gathering at Huntington Park during a Columbus Clippers game, GETDOT raised $2,400 for A Kid Again, a local organization devoted to providing adventures to the families of children afflicted with life-threatening illnesses.
"We want to help others before ourselves," Ramsey said.
During the holiday season, GETDOT collected about $4,000 worth of toys to donate to Franklin County Children Services.
"Myself being adopted, it was near and dear to my heart," Ramsey said. "That was a great event."
Barbara Letcher of Galloway, a GETDOT board of directors member, said Boles and Ramsey saw an opportunity to do good when all the members were brought together.
"We've gone from a group of people who get together at happy hour to people who help out," she said. "It was kind of natural."

More than one person can work on a Visio diagram at the same time, each person at their own computer. By coauthoring, teams can create multi-page diagrams quickly and help each other decide what the diagram should look like as they work. Changes made by each person show up in everyone else's copy of the diagram right away.
Everybody who's going to work on the diagram needs to have Visio Professional edition installed on their computer.
Setting up a diagram for coauthoring
Create a Visio diagram in a SharePoint library, or start a diagram in Visio and then upload it to OneDrive.
Give all the people who will be working on it permission to edit it.
Each author opens the diagram from the server in Visio and starts creating, editing, or reviewing. A notification down in the corner shows when someone joins or leaves a session (which basically means they open the diagram for editing or close it). You can always see in the status bar how many people are working on the diagram.
How changes show up in the diagram
Small icons appear by shapes that have been edited in some way by another person. You are not locked out of a shape that has an icon that shows it's being edited – for example, even if someone else is changing the color, you can edit the text on the shape at the same time. If everyone on the team is collaborating and working on specific areas, you should rarely have a problem where two people edit exactly the same thing at the same time, like changing the text on the same shape. If that does happen, the last change is the one that stays (until someone changes it again).
Every time you save the changes you made to the diagram, Visio synchronizes the changes back to the server. At the same time, Visio brings the changes everyone else made into your copy of the diagram. You can tell when someone else has saved changes back to the server by icons that appear, and a notification in the status bar that lets you know updates are available. Save frequently to make sure you have the most recent changes that other authors have made, and to make your changes available to them.

AOL launches free 2GB webmail service
Taking AIM at Gmail and Hotmail
Posted in Networks, 7th June 2005 10:43 GMT
AOL has gone into competition with Gmail, Yahoo! and Hotmail with the launch of a free web-based email service offering up to 2GB of storage.
AIM Mail offers spam and virus protections plus integration with the AOL's AIM Instant Messenger Service. Users can use their AIM screen name as their email address. It was launched yesterday following trials this spring.
Users can tap into the service, which offers one-click access to AIM Mail, through an updated version of the AIM 5.9 software. An update will begin rolling out across the AIM network this week, during which US AIM users will be given the opportunity to activate an AIM Mail account and enrol in the sweepstakes promotion.
The AIM Mail interface is based on technology AOL bought when it acquired Mailblocks in July 2004. Both current AIM users and web users more generally can access AIM Mail by visiting AIM.com or by updating to AIM 5.9 software.
Separately, AOL announced it will give its US ISP customers unlimited email storage. ®

Sufjan Stevens' holiday album, and why we no longer need new Christmas music
There are moments within Sufjan Stevens' new five-volume collection of Christmas music that are not utterly terrible. There exist particular notes, melodies and lyrics deep within this hours-long project that, as you might gather from even a cursory glance, are pleasant. There are mournful strings, delicate plucks on Stevens' trusty banjo, jazzy snare hits with wire brushes. There are glimpses of authentic tenderness.
Mostly, though, the indie star's new "Silver & Gold" is a gimmicky, self-indulgent exercise from a singer whose career is built on diminishing returns. Stevens -- much like egg nog, malt balls, distant relatives and tinsel -- is experienced best in extremely small doses.
When not leading us down a snow-covered rabbit hole with a few dozen threadless originals, Stevens repeatedly drags canonical holiday songs through the mud. There's the disjointed and borderline atonal "Jingle Bells," the choral-cultish "Auld Lang Syne" and the pointlessly Auto-Tuned, laser-beam'ed "Do You Hear What I Hear," to name just a few.
The collection, currently streaming in its entirety on npr.org/music, supports the contrarian notion that all meaningful holiday music already has been written, recorded and re-recorded. The notion that Christmas -- despite its inherent warmth, nostalgia, Charlie-Brown-purity and George-Bailey-redemption -- has no room left under its figurative tree for Stevens.
Nor is there room at the inn for Blake Shelton, Lady Antebellum, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John, nor any of the countless other artists releasing holiday albums this season.
Nat King Cole, Bing Crosby, Johnny Mathis, Whitney Houston -- these are the voices we crave when the days get shorter, darker and colder. Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You," originally released in 1994 before finding a second life in 2003's "Love Actually," is, in many ways, the "last" contemporary holiday song worth a listen.
In lieu of Stevens' jelly-of-the-month-club letdown, here are five holiday songs to keep you sane during the next few weeks.
5. The Beach Boys, "I'll Be Home For Christmas"
Long before Mike Love kicked most of the band to the curb in the throes of an anniversary tour, the Beach Boys struck a chord with the surf-y, camp-y "Little Saint Nick" -- the definitive single off 1964's "The Beach Boys Christmas Album." Though it's the deep cuts from this glory days release that make the album a must-listen. This sweeping, orchestral take on "I'll Be Home For Christmas" goes toe-to-toe with Sinatra as a definitive version.
4. John Prine, "Christmas In Prison"
John Prine tossed this live cut onto his 1973 triumph "Sweet Revenge," assuming the perspective of a lovesick jailbird. "The search light in the big yard / Swings 'round with the gun / And spotlights the snowflakes / Like the dust in the sun / It's Christmas in prison / There'll be music tonight / I'll probably get homesick / I love you, goodnight," Prine wanes. (How the character ended up in prison, we do not know. All the better.)
3. The Drifters, "White Christmas"
It soundtracked Macaulay Culkin's defining moment: Two pale palms smacking after-shave on prepubescent cheeks. Culkin's ensuing scream in front of the bathroom mirror would go on to become a nugget of early-'90s pop culture. But within the context of "Home Alone," as the Drifters' snazzy version of the Bing Crosby sleeper played perfectly in the background, Culkin's Kevin McCallister had just found his groove in his days of accidental independence. Soon, McCallister would defend his house against the guy from "Goodfellas," but in this moment, he was merely a kid goofing off over Christmas vacation.
2. Vince Guaraldi Trio, "What Child Is This"
Vince Guaraldi's masterful jazz compositions "Linus And Lucy," "Christmas Time Is Here" and "O Tannenbaum" are burned into the American psyche as much as Charlie Brown's needle-dropping tree. Those three songs are peppered memorably throughout the fleeting 25 minutes that make up 1965's "A Charlie Brown Christmas." Though it's Guaraldi's spin on "What Child Is This" that sticks out among the accompanying soundtrack -- as eloquent and introspective as the bald protagonist searching for a non-commercial holiday.
1. Elvis Presley, "Blue Christmas"
Years before filling his swimming pool with thousands of light bulbs and shooting them out one by one -- for recreational purposes -- Elvis Presley was a tender, loving singer. "Blue Christmas" epitomizes Presley's heartfelt side, his deep blue eyed soul side. Presley croons a simple universal truth in two minutes and change: That Christmas, in its purest form, is about being with the one(s) you love.
