Home testing ? Something that needs discussion we think;
Much has been featured in the news lately about the prospect of legalised home testing for HIV. Some charities have heralded this as a step forward, and a good thing. However we beg to differ.
It seems unclear why this is considered an improvement on home sampling (where a kit is used by an individual at home, sample sent to a lab and then the result is relayed by a clinic or health provider) This method provides a direct link to care and support in the event of a reactive (possibly positive) test result.
With home testing the individual will receive their result instantly there and then, perhaps on their own, or perhaps worse still with people who are not supportive.
Imagine yourself in that scenareo for a moment. Your result has shown you are likely to be positive, what next? Denial? Ignore the result, dont get it confirmed by a full test at a clinic as you should, carry on as normal, possibly with less care, now you know you are possibly positive why would you take care?
Or would you sink into depression? abandon everything? or tell everyone before it is even confirmed? then what? those you thought of as friends are not as supportive as you would have hoped? People have been hounded out of homes, schools, work, in the past for revealing their status… what effect on family and friends? What about possible criminal charges for transmission?
Think you life is over? reach for the vodka and painkillers? Dramatic? maybe, but has happened on a number of occasions, too many in fact. In the news this week a story surfaced about an Australian nurse who on receiving a diagnosis said; "I tried to attempt suicide on a number of occasions because I couldn't live with the fact that I could have infected someone I loved,"
With the stigma that still surrounds HIV home testing is not a good idea, there are plenty of ways to be tested, not all involve needles or a trip to a hospital. In fact some services are in very pleasant confidential surroundings, not the, perhaps percieved, colder clinical settings.
Those who defend the idea say that there will be information included in the kits to signpost people to help and support.. really, at 2am when you finally plucked up the courage to take the test are you really going to think, oh its ok i can call someone? Some people, usually the most vulnerable, need help deciding to test, need support during, and directly afterwards.
What they don't need is a test result staring them in the face with noone present to pick up the pieces. There needs to be more thought and more consultation, and definitely more work eradicating stigma and prejudice before this can become a suitable alternative to current testing options.
Those agencies supporting this move might be want to direct their energy towards continuing with home sampling and other testing methods, awareness work and stigma reduction. Unfortunately it appears there may be some financial incentives at work here too, we should also ask who is set to gain the most from such an initiative, and then we may realise why it is being pushed so hard from certain quarters.
A quick survey of people accessing services this week has revealed that not one thought this a good idea, most suggesting they would not have used it, some saying it would have discouraged them from testing at all. Another asked if eventually the idea would be when requesting a test anywhere they would be given a kit, and then told to go home to do it? Most thought that people would only use it when "Dutch Courage" was evident, then who would govern whether it was carried out appropriately, or provide support, or perhaps stop self harm if a reactive result was the outcome.
And what if, after all that, the result was a false result? The home testing kits have, apparently, a 1 in 12 false negative and 1 in 5000 false positive rate, not really acceptable when other methods are far more accurate, certainly without the false negative rate publicised in the Guardian this week . It's too much far too soon, in an ideal world, workable, but we live in a far from perfect society…
Please do write to the Minister Anne Soubry if you share our concerns, we feel this needs more scrutiny, if not there is a very real risk people will be harmed as a result.

By Tony Storey, Nov 28 2018 9:13AM
Although only sixteen members attended this week's meeting, we certainly enjoyed the sight of seventy two fascinating landscape images submitted by fifteen fellow club members, many of whom entered the maximum of five PDIs each.
We welcomed our judge for the evening Jon Mitchell from Gosport Camera Club, who gave his expert opinion on each of PDIs taking part in this popular annual competition.
Following a preview of all the images, each one was brought up on the screen for us all to see and for Jon to comment upon and give a mark out of twenty. As always, it is fascinating to view the work of fellow club photographers, and I believe we all learnt a great deal from hearing Jon's interesting and helpful feedback.
Jon drew our attention to the impact that contrast and colouration can have on the quality of a landscape scene as well as the importance of "Clear Ways" into a picture and taking the viewer's eye into it rather than out of it. Jon also suggested cropping out areas of a picture that don't greatly contribute to its overall quality. As a keen landscape photographer himself, Jon recommended the start and end of the day for the best lighting conditions.
By the end of the evening, eleven pictures had been awarded eighteen marks or more as follows:
With eighteen marks, the following qualify for a bronze certificate of merit:
A PRIVATE SPOT by Bob Hoare
MEDMERRY ROCKS AT DUSK by Steve Newman
SUNSET by David Richardson
RED SKY AT NIGHT by Graham Ainge
With nineteen marks, the following qualify for a silver certificate of merit:
GARTH PIER by Dick Read
TARMAC SITE by Steve Newman
WHITE WATER by Dave Johnson
RECYCLING by Dave Johnson
With twenty marks, the following qualify for a gold certificate of merit:
WEATHER'S ON THE CHANGE by David M Moore LRPS
THE VASTNESS OF THE MOUNTAIN by Louise Satturley
DONE FOR THE DAY by Dave Johnson
After further careful consideration, Jon announced that the overall winner, and eventual recipient of the John Sayers Landscape Cup, should be Dave Johnson for his very well composed picture of two fishing boats seen from a river bank and entitled "Done for the Day". Our warmest congratulations to Dave.
The evening concluded with a sincere vote of thanks to Jon Mitchell from the Club Chairman along with thanks also to all the contributing members for giving us a most a most interesting evening.

Would be great to integrate the Iro into the Vera MiOS home controller. I know that it's been suggested before, but a year later still nothing in progress? Vera is just as powerful as Samsungs ST, Nexia, Wink, etc.
Would be great to integrate the Iro into the Vera MiOS home controller. I know that it's been suggested before, but a year later still nothing in progress? Vera is just as powerful as Samsungs ST, Nexia, Wink, etc.
Do you know the integration process? We have an open API if any ambitious developer wants to build off of it
I have a Vera Plus Z-Wave controller too. This would be a fantastic integration!!
Take a look at this and this for staters maybe.
Here's a link to the Vera Itself.
I'm not really a coder so hopefully we can work this solution together.
Vera Plus is an amazing Home Controller… It's a shame that less capable controllers already have integration. I'm certainly not a developer or I'd take on the challenge. I'd help fund a plugin if that was an option.
@Christopher72 Is there a VP forum? Might see if any developers are lurking over there…can't imagine it would take that long to build a plugin, but I don't know how their integrations work.
MiOS has created one unifying application capable of universal device interoperability among thousands of deployed products, whether powered by Z-Wave, Zigbee, 6lowpan, Wi-Fi Direct, Insteon, Bacnet, PLC or X10 technologies, among others.
Because the MiOS user interface is completely independent from the MiOS engine, developers, OEM vendors, solution providers, and integrator/dealers can easily create their own unique and focused customer experience.
Anything new on this?
Searching "Vera" on this forum shows that this topic comes up every few months or so and there's a little discussion about it and then crickets. My take is that Rachio really has no interest in integrating with Smart Home Controllers other than the ridiculously over-priced Nest Thermostat. This is sad.
Hey @Sammy2,
We offer quite a few integrations beyond Nest, which are listed on our Integrations page:
We love integrations, but they take quite a lot of resources to develop. It's helpful to hear who wants something like this, so thanks very much for posting. At the moment, we don't have a plan to develop this ourselves, which I believe is why @franz was seeing if there was someone who might help us with it.
I see that Nexia is Z-Wave so it really shouldn't be so hard to do the integration to Vera. The Vera Plus controller works with Z-Wave, Zigbee, Bluetooth and WiFi devices and is the most versatile controller on the market today. If I knew how to code I'd do it myself but I don't. I'm willing to test alpha and beta code on my system though. TIA.
How's the Vera Integration coming along?
@Sammy2, no new news on this.
I just want to throw my name in here as another user looking for Vera / MiOS integration. The biggest use case I'm wanting out of the support is to have the sprinklers turn on when there is a smoke alarm alert. I have no developer or coding experience so I am of no use to help create the plug in but would be willing to send some beer money to whoever builds it.
Would also like to support a Vera integration. My rachio is the only device in my house I haven't been able to integrate into my Vera.
While I'm not aching for integration, I'll just also chime in that I'm a MiOS user (using a trusty VeraLite). While perhaps not a top priority, it seems that any integrations like this would add value to both systems, and would be appreciated by their combined user base.
This thread might also be a good place for interested people to note how they might benefit from such integration.
As mentioned above, triggering sprinklers based on a smoke alarm makes sense.
Another scenario might be to pause sprinklers (in a zone?) based on a motion detector being triggered.
(I would suppose the inverse of the above might also be useful if you want to make moving things wet.)
If you wish, please post ideas (or duplicates of existing integration uses) in this thread for others to see.
@kelpayne It is incredibly useful when you guys post how you would use the integration! Thank you for that recommendation It also helps quite a bit because I am less familiar with MiOS
The possibilities are really only limited to imagination. If you have automated windows or at least contact sensors, and the nearby sprinkler zone is on, and windspeed >X. then close windows, notify owner, or cancel zone…etc. Rachio does a great deal to act upon the data it collects that is relevant to its main task, but without integration with a home controller, cannot be modified to deal with external events or scenario complexity.
This may be the realm currently of enthusiasts, but its becoming more and more mainstream.
i commented on a few other threads but any updates on Vera? its about the only thing holding me back.
+1 for Vera integration!!!

A Site Dedicated to all enthusiasts of Classic Style Banjo
Wow. What an impressive collection!
I am trying to locate a 12" overspun pot with a depth of 2 3/8" for the Parslow on the right of the pic hanging on the wall. Someone replaced the original 12" with a 10 7/8" ply pot and mounted it with a 11" tension hoop which would have put the Lyre style tailpiece almost connecting with the bridge.
Is there anyone out there that might have an odd one laying around?!!!

Shan Pui River (山貝河)
When it comes to shopping cities, I'll name Hong Kong as one of them as one of the best places to shop till you drop. The search continues for the must-have experience that what is being watch in TVB drama since I learn to watch soap operas. Never knew that Shan Pui River will be one of the impressive place that I'll remember from my Hong Kong's Trip.
From the Movie Karma Rider (師父·明白了) which was broadcasted in Hong Kong during my stay, I am so curious about this bridge-ing scene where lovers say goodbye or as a place to fall in love as per the plot of the dramas.
We Found it! Remember this?
Horse Riding, China Emperor or Princesses being Kidnapped. Amazingly surprise the place was indeed a small place. TVB did a good job in the camera edit.
It's worth a visit. Take a stroll and Good Job TVB!

Warm around midday, but the duration of the swimmably warm parts of the day is shrinking rapidly, and out of the sun the wind is starting to bite. Ate my lunch on the Coogee headland then went for a paddle off the beach at Gordons Bay. Fairly clean, the tide was up, and absolutely flat. Not as many people there as I expected. Tried to dry off a bit afterwards again on the headland.

It's been a while. The parallels with the present day are striking: a lock-him-up rabble-rousing populist campaign speech; Kane being told to check his privilege (over working men, who might eventually expect things as their right, not his gift); a pile in Florida; a Gatsby-esque excess in a guilded age; the manipulation of the news; the vacuity of stuff; the over-extended mogul; etc. Still #74 in the IMDB top-250 but getting squeezed out by lesser works.

Claude's Commentary No. 59
By Claude Hall
A lake at Merced, CA, is almost dirt. A television news program a week or so ago showed water down to only 9 percent of capacity. A couple of very nice houseboats sat high on what is now a hill.
You see Lake Mead on television, it's a horror story. You can tell where the water line used to be. High on the bluff. The Colorado no longer reaches the ocean. All of its water is used up before it reaches the Sea of Cortez. Mexican farmers scream for their share. But it's just not there.
Water in the United States has gone Gucci. Comes in fancy bottles. Even imported from Tahiti in cute little square bottles. My wife Barbara would die of thirst if she had to drink water from the kitchen tap. She doesn't like the taste. It's guaranteed pure. Doesn't matter. She doesn't like the taste of chlorine. It seems okay to me. However, we keep several cases of bought water in the house.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the United States, floods and snow storms go to waste. The storms dribble, finally, into the ocean. Our government should launch a national campaign to not conserve water, but to channel it to good use. I visualize a series of communication channels coast-to-coast. These "channels" would feature a huge water pipe for the transportation of water to where it's needed, a belt of electrical lines, a super-speed, wide-track railroad, an eight-lane highway (each direction) and space on either side for the expansion of all of these and more. The water would be used for corn in Missouri and wheat in Kansas and Oklahoma. Once in Colorado, the water would be lifted and permitted to stream and river into the Colorado. Fill up Lake Mead. For farms in California, where there's a desperate shortage, and around Mexicali.
Can you imagine a railroad onto which you could drive your car and enter a "hotel" room for the 150-mph trip? A railroad train with a restaurant with picture windows? Maybe even a gym. A supervised playroom for the kids.
Considering the long drive in a city such as Houston to reach the airport, a train might be faster for a trip to Dallas. In the old days, it took me 45 minutes from my door in Bel Air, Los Angeles, to reach LAX, park, and walk onboard my American Airlines flight. Today, that's impossible. A train might be much faster for many destinations. Especially if you wanted to go surfing in Pismo Beach. Or take lunch in Splash where I recommend the clam chowder.
These communications channels would be bankrolled by the government. Out-of-work people would now be able to pay taxes, buy food, medicine, cars, houses as they joined the workforce. The manufacturing of equipment, handling of legal aspects regarding the acquisition of right-of-way, etc., and the end result of wages (i.e., spending on goods) would more than pay for the project in the long run.
As Edgar Rice Burroughs and Leigh Brackett envisioned huge channels on Mars in yesteryear's science fiction, we, too, should envision channels on Earth … at least in the United States. And the vision should be made a reality. In my opinion, if we don't plan for the future, we may not have one.
Woody Roberts to the remaining Mesquiteers: "Fellow Mousquetaires, this is a long overdue Thank You note. I doubt you can fully grok the enrichment and joy brought into my life by reuniting me with Lee Baby Simms. The other day I was thinking of what my world, my sensorium entire, would be like had that not happened. That priceless brief wink of time. Although Lee and I never once talked on the phone or had a video call, the continuing series of emails back and forth were like the days of old and we discovered that neither of us had really changed our core personalities since our last meeting over the New Year's holidays in 1976. God, did we have fun on that totally gonzo car trip from San Antonio to Cleveland with The Baby at the wheel. He was pleased to learn I still had a momento with my hickory walking stick that we selected and cut in Tennessee.
"Our emails got kinda crazy over these past three years I truly experienced more joviality – to borrow a Mousquetaire word -- with him than any other time since our last great adventure. So I have now this block of new memories that are all wonderful. And it is because of you. If Claude had not located my seldom looked at Gmail address where I happened to see the name of an old friend I had not heard from since my life changing thumb-out trip to Discover America (and myself). In 1973 Lee had just dropped me off with backpack at north edge of Santa Barbara and pointed me towards Big Sur when none other than Mr. and Mrs. Hall pulled their car off to the roadside and opened the door and waved. Perfect!
"Were it not for Claude Hall I would not have been on the lookout for email from Robert Weisbuch that likely I would have deleted as spam. And were it not for 'Dr. Bob's' prodding and his important book about the Hartford WPOP/WDRC ratings war Lee and I would not have started communicating. You guys put two Old Friends together on a digital park bench to while away our years, share memories, but most of all play with each other in a way unique to us. Emailed letters, pictures, links, exchange of gifts were perfect expressions for us hermits. We used to argue over which of us was the greater hermit.
"So my gratitude for what you did is boundless, reuniting Lee and me greatly enriched our lives. Lee hid the pain of his illness from me and when he cut off communications two weeks before killing himself I didn't understand what was happening. He planned it. He wanted to leave the stage with everyone applauding and filled with memories of his totally unique spirit. And now, after my initial shock and unbounded grief has subsided, I understand what he did and why he did it. That his final words to us were a setup like he might do on his show: 'No way, Jose, will I ever go back to Hartford!!!!!!'. And then we never heard from him again. He signaled the end, for it was our Hartford years that provided the impetus to form the Four Mousquetaires. Now, we are Three and the glue holding us together has weakened. I doubt if the two of you fully realize how much he cherished your friendship and truly admired your talents. He felt honored to include you among his friends. As do I. Barbara Bodner formerly of WPOP said it best: 'Lee Baby always knew when it was time to leave'. And in the end, he did the right thing and even managed to increase my admiration for his spirit, his strength, it was the perfect sign off for Lee Baby Simms. Finest thoughts always, and thank you."
I, too, miss Lee Baby Simms. I doubt there will ever be another like him. Condolences to you, Woody, Dr. Bob Weisbuch, and to Lee's daughter Kim and Lee's grandchild. And me. To be without Lee Baby Simms is a pain that is difficult to endure. I wish to hell that he hadn't done it!
Morris Diamond: "Good morning, dear friend, Claude. So nice to hear from you – and Barbara. Almost as heart rendering as the emails I get from my two daughters … one in Chicago & the other in Phoenix. We speak often, but see each other yearly. As a matter of fact, they, along with their husbands, and Alice and I are taking an Alaska 11-day cruise together the end of August and I can't wait. Alice's son, Derek Penslar, is a professor at Oxford and we're going to visit him in late May for a couple of days and then spend a few days in London to see some old friends. Thus far we are well enough to travel, and now you with your brand new foot should do the same … also bring Barbara along as well. Happy to hear that your foot is all better … yesterday was my visit with my foot doctor … mainly to clip my nails and that made me feel in pretty good shape for an old varmint. I recall Bill Stewart and my dealings with him were minimal – I couldn't recall any episodes that would be of interest to your readers and that would apply to almost anybody that I knew from the '50s, '60s, '70s -- other than Gary Owens, George Wilson, Martin Block, Robin Seymour – and, of course, Joey Reynolds and Morton Downey Jr. My memory ain't like it used to be – thank heaven for Google on the internet. In a day or so, I have some thoughts that I will write to you – nothing in particular – I marvel at your ability to recall so much of the past – the people, the events – and when I see a name in your weekly report that gives me a bit of a recall, I feel great and I thank you for the open letters that appear weekly. Much love to you and Barbara."
And much love to you and Alice.

"More sad news this week – the passing of one of the most enduring and recognizable voices of the last half of the 20th Century passed away this morning, at the age of 88.Stan Freberg was the voice of hundreds of cartoon characters in the 1950s, countless radio and television commercials of the 1950s and 60s – all around wit, humorist, writer, host and comic genius. Freberg was the Dean of modern Advertising … In the late 1950s he produced his own radio program, a sort of last-gasp of Network radio in 1957. Only lasting 14 weeks, and without sponsorship, the show became the backbone for a number of comedy routines and something of an underground classic, prompting Capitol Records to release a 'best of' album in the early 1960s." Freberg classic: Lake Michigan is drained and filled with hot chocolate, after which a plane drops a 700-foot mountain of whipped cream and a 10-ton maraschino cherry. Some 25,000 imaginary extras cheer.
We come, we do, we go.
Bob Fead: "Wonderful thoughts and comments about Herb and Lani … 16 years of my life were at 1416 N. La Brea. They are truly very special friends."
Don Graham was kind enough to send me a copy of "Psychedelic Bubble Gum" by Bobby Hart. An amazing book by an amazing songwriter – Bobby Hart -- with Tommy Boyce. Lord, but I still remember some of those tunes! Songs you feel like singing. "Come a Little Bit Closer," "Last Train to Clarksville" and the entire Monkees story, the Brill Building. Names from Bobby Vee and Snuffy Garrett to Wes Farrell and Don Kirshner and Lester Sil and Phil Spector. Countless stories. I've always felt a little sad about what happened with Wes Farrell. This is a book I shall personally treasure and "order" my sons to read. John and Andy will love it. A book I recommend if you're interested in the history of the hit tunes of the 60s and 70s. The industry and what made it tick. Fascinating! I knew some of the people and met many others in the book and believe that Barbara and I were in the A-frame mentioned for a party at invite of Mickey Dolenz. Ron Jacobs, the Hawaiian guru who programmed KHJ in Los Angeles that helped make "Last Train to Clarksville" a national hit would love this book. The book, written with Glenn Ballantyne, is published by Select Books, www.selectbooks.com, at $26.95 US. My sincere appreciation to Bobby Hart and also to Don Graham, America's promotion icon.
Danny Davis: "Love when you find those little 'tid bits' to close out the Commentary when 'all ain't happening', Claudie! and if you'll allow … New Year, Passover, Lenten Observance and all. Take a moment to recall one of the goodest guys, I believe, EVER to 'brighten the blogger's lightening pathways … Jack Roberts! Here's to you, Jack. And believe in brighter days! Remembering well."
Ken Dowe: "Dear Claude Dallas, I would vote that you are indeed a historian. But, you also are possessed of many assets that may be more evident to your myriad friends than you recognize in yourself. You deeply, truly, care. About most people. And, you are a friend to even those who have few friends. You draw quite an eclectic crowd. That's not easy, Claude. It's hard. Very hard. Yet, you do it with ease, and glide into many lives. I think that is the other half of your personality, Claude. Much of your time is generously spent in support of and appreciation of others. You are a historian, but you are a humanitarian as well. You have an interest in art, music, Cowboy Poetry, politics, and science. And, you possess intellectual curiosity. How cool is that? That is the definition of a Renaissance man. And, that ... (in my judgment) is who you truly are. My fan letter on Bill Stewart in a few days."
FYI: Ken Dowe has offered to send me his views on Bill Stewart and I'm looking forward to them! I also thought I'd ask Morris Diamond. However, Morris and lady Alice are just about to visit London, then cruise Alaska. If anyone has any personal thoughts and/or opinions regarding Bill Stewart, I'd be interested in seeing them. I liked Bill and Marlene. Some have told me that Marlene was one of the most beautiful women they ever met ("I Love Radio," Amazon.com/Kindle Books).
Doc Wendell: "I was mulling over the some of the anti-jazz propaganda going around lately, so I thought I'd address some of it in my new 'Twist Of Doc' op-ed piece. Hope you dig it."
I always look forward to your musical insights, Doc.
Woody Roberts: "Took me quite awhile to remember the name of the long burst recorded at a SETI station in late 1970s, then my brain kicked in and said "Wow" --and that was it: The Wow Signal. Here are the most recent updates on that decades old incident, Your son John may appreciate.
And a SETI League report on the 72 second signal:
Best wishes for you and Barbra and the "kids" on Easter Day 2015."
Johnny Holliday: "Forgot to include Sal's home address … wife's name is Carol Lee, 125 Grand Palm Way, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418. I know she would appreciate hearing from Sal's many friends in the music business."
Work on "George" has been slow. For many reasons. But I managed a few words this week. Meanwhile, I'm about to install "La Tigre," my recent western novel, with Kindle Books. Price will be about $2.95. I'm planning to also reduce the price of "Hellmakers" to $29.95. My brother-in-law Richard Schwartz has given me a Kindle. I will download my own books first, of course, then some free stuff by Edgar Rice Burroughs (yes, the Tarzan books) and H. Rider Haggard. I read most of the Tarzan books when I was around 9-12 years old. Would like to see if they're as good as I remember. Some of those old pulp writers were excellent craftsmen. When I taught creative literature, I quoted from both Burroughs and Leigh Brackett, who happens to be one of my favorite writers, period.

For Charles Mouchtaris everything started when he was an architecture student and he couldn't find the proper size for the desk he needed. The craft of wood was passed on him by his grandfather and today, Charles makes anything we can think of under the only condition… to be on wood! The products of mouchmouch are known all over the world! Get to know them as well!
• I' ll say 3 words to you. Tell me what comes straight to your mind.
Natural harmony
• What Mouchmouch means for you and your team?
Mouchmouch represents a collective way of thinking throughout the entire team as a result of our studies abroad in different design sectors as well as knowledge and experience that has been passed down by my architect grandfather. We work with an open mind in order to achieve both a practical and aesthetic result in our design methodology.
We believe when embarking upon any given project, one must go further than just how something looks aestheticaly. We must keep all of our five senses in mind in order to achieve a wholesome experience of our creations keeping in mind that what we create will ultimately be a customised creation to the individual user.
Therefore as each individual is different, every item we produce is different.
• You find industrial design more challenging than architecture? Or that those two have things in common?
This is a tough question. I have become deeply interested in both architecture and product design. Both practices serve the creation and evolution of ideas. I believe that architecture has served a great deal in building the 'thinking' foundation blocks into the core of the design arena. With that in mind, I view product design as an extension of architecture leading to the realisation of creating day to day objects of a smaller scale. Ultimately, in my mind, these two subjects are intertwined and I try to use knowledge from both areas in order to achieve the best possible results.
• Why all of your creations are wood-made? Have you thought of using another material?
Ever since I can remember myself, I have been drawn to wood. I admired wooden creations and was baffled to how a tree could become a dining table from start to finish. I like authentic, raw materials. Perhaps this is the main reason why I started exploring carpentry as well. It is not a man made material. When you have or use something wooden, you connect with it. The more you use it, you develop a relationship with it, you can see it age with you.
With that said, we are looking into exploring more mateirals. Some of our next projects will include raw steel, concrete as well as a new material which we are experimenting with which is not used in Greece at the moment.
Overall however, we do want to keep the element of wood in all our creations as we believe its our signature material.
• All designs and mottos engraved on wood are pretty imaginative and original. Do you deal with custom requests as well? Can someone ask you to engrave something in particular?
Thank you! Of course we do! A large portion of our business is custom production. Whether it'd be furniture or our iPhone cases everything can be tailor made to the clients' needs. We have engraved a wide range of designs from family portraits to corporate logos. The only limit is the clients' imagination.
• The famous mouchmouch mobile cases have reached even the most distant places of the world like Russia, S. Africa, Singapore, Australia etc. How do you feel about this?
This makes me very happy. From the beginning, my main goal was to create a brand which intrigued people from all over the globe. In the current era we are living in, where online shopping is blooming it was a great challenge. Therefore when we started getting clients from different continents we knew we were on the right track.
• In times when everything seems still, you, a 26year old guy, are experiencing an unusual increasing business activity. When you first began, you were sure that you would reach a point that reality would exceed the initial dream?
Honesltly, I was not sure at all. The last two years which were the start of mouchmouch have been the hardest. Not because I was trying to start something new but because I did not leave any room for failure for me. Ever since I can remember myself, I was always tinkering, testing and making things . As a result there was an inate feeling to create mouchmouch which would serve as a breeding ground for my ideas whilst I would try to solve every day problems.
In the end, isn't this part of the charm of creativity? An endless quest in search of ideas all the while believing in yourself with patience and perseverance to achieve your dreams.
• Nevertheless, Greek reality supports this significant business activity of yours?
The Greeks, we are experiencing now is different than any other era my generation has experienced. In it's current state, it is at a very uncertain equillibrium, however we strive to seek opportunity where others see obstacles. I can say, I believe that you have to try to create opportunities for yourself, there is never not a gap in the market for innovation and we are optimistic that there will be a positive response in what we do.
• Any future plans? Perhaps a store in a city center, in Athens or London?
There are plenty of future plans ahead! The one thing we have a surplus of, is ambition. Over the next quarter we will launch a complete new line of household products. We would of course love to open our own physical store in either city but for now we are progressing in a steady and healthy rate. We hope this strategy will reward us in the years to come.

December 27, 2018
Oh man, the week between Christmas and NYE. In some weird way, that's the part that actually feels like vacation. I found myself really wound up the weekend before the holiday, trying to get a million things done, wrapping presents, and cleaning and re-cleaning my house because I have a destructive baby and three dogs, and dirt and dog hair everywhere, and then I got sick and started crying on Christmas morning because it wasn't the best Christmas ever.
In the middle of the evening, after dinner, but before presents, I was in the kitchen with my mother-in-law, trading places at the sink and divying up the leftovers and everything was okay again because I was with people I love and listening to nice music, and it was just dark enough that the twinkle lights looked cozy and not bright enough to see my dirty baseboards. I had the very mature feeling that this is the good that I'm entitled to on Christmas and really, it's very nice. A warm kitchen, comfortable conversation, and lighting that's bad for selfies, but great for a messy house.
And then, the day after Christmas, that's when vacation started. I stay in bed three hours later than usual, took a nap with my baby, and only changed out of my pajamas, into a fresh set of pajamas, around 5 in the afternoon. I basically laid around and did nothing all day.
I'm going to wing it for a day or two more, and maybe drum up some energy by the end of the weekend to start thinking and dreaming about 2019. I feel really strongly that I need a complete 180 from 2018 and I always enjoy a good to-do list making session.

How Can one Get The very best Sports Collectibles For Expense?
Well, the response to that query is one which many sports activities memorabilia collectors wish to know, including me personally! Even probably the most expert collectors may not know exactly what item within their collection will become worth probably the most money. Obviously, the method I take a look at sports collectibles is you should look at the items you actually want for the collection simply because they might not really appreciate, but however, it does not take much for any relatively unfamiliar player to become hero immediately and his what to become vintage.
As the matter associated with fact, you can step-up your probability of getting the most effective sports collectibles for expense by going after players which have lots of potential, such as the newcomers. Through the time a person becomes famous, several associated with his souvenirs, autographed products or Golf tee Shirt as well as uniforms have doubled within cost! Not everybody could become a specialist at detecting a great find, however, you can experience rare collectibles at property sales occasion and public sale sale simply because heirs might not know exactly what each may be worth, particularly in the event that they've absolutely no involvement within sports!
These could possibly be the best discovers, if you're looking to create a good revenue, but there are lots of opportunities to locate investment high quality souvenirs that may appreciate sometime soon. You is going to be happiest together with your sports collectibles collection when they are pieces which are special for you and you may end up getting some which are worth significantly more than a person thought. The greatest appreciation of the collection might include an untimely death or perhaps a sudden increase to fame of the player and this can be a "wait as well as see" kind of scenario.
There are several people which actively purchase and trade items which have already experienced this kind of appreciation as well as sometimes, getting in having a reputable investor or dealer is the greatest answer. Actually, if you're a collector that's actively searching for certain products or souvenirs of the certain participant or group, sports collectibles dealers will probably look out for you simply because they stand to achieve from discovering you a good deal!
This may be the maneuver which investment sports activities memorabilia sellers apply most often, as the matter associated with fact. As you consider it, they'll be those that are likely to estimate ideals for customers or estates plus they may hold several good prospects on collector-standard sports activities memorabilia. Since possessing your selection till it's about time may represent part of the expense strategy you should look at, you wish to add items as possible afford in order to and sell items which you've kept onto for many years, when the appreciation is helpful enough.
Normally, if you are like I'm, there really are a few bits of my sports activities memorabilia collection I actually do not think I'd distribute with very easily. If you're within the hobby with regard to investment as well as profit, the marketplace could discover whether a product is an excellent investment which enjoys need. I 'm a fervent collector associated with sports memorabilia and you will join me and also the community associated with avid sports activities fans which discuss vintage sports products and dream sports.

Interior Design is the process of artistically designing and decorating the interior of a room or space. To be successful at interior design requires energy, technical proficiency, vision and dedication. Interior design is a subject that requires research, development and analytical skills, knowledge of technology and building rules, regulations and codes.
Interior design is closely related to architecture but is concerned with the layout, construction, and overall appeal of residential and commercial interior spaces. Interior design can also be referred to as interior architecture, because interior designers are taught to take into account the alteration of the interior form of a building, rather than just finishing and furnishing existing spaces.
Generally, it is a blend of both aesthetic and technical elements. Internal wall placement, ceiling slope, window size and aspect are some of the more architectural components; whilst flooring selection, carpet colour selection and light fixture selection are some of the customary artistic considerations.
Some of the more exciting elements of the interior design process are the selection of window fittings, wall placement and dividing a space. These elements can dramatically change the overall look of the building's interior design and impression of the space. Decorative decisions on light fixtures, floors, walls, doors, windows, trim work and design pieces also fall within this grouping.
Design is a great deal more than just simple good looks. In the majority of cases, proposals or modifications must be intertwined into a complete building plan that takes technical fundamentals like electrical wiring, plumbing, and structural support into account.
Interior designers plan and specify commercial and residential building interiors for efficient use; with specific importance on space creation, space planning and issues which influence how you interact with your living and working environment.
Quite frequently interior design coincides with the related field of interior decorating, even though the two are more often than not considered standalone areas of expertise. Interior decorators principally work with fixtures and fittings like artwork, furniture, soft furnishings, fabric and colour schemes to craft a harmonious and aesthetically pleasing space. Individuals who would like to change the look or feel of an interior room may request an interior decorator to help plan and implement a new decorative interior scheme.
If an interior designer were requested for the same purpose, they would look more at the floor plan and lighting scheme of the space, rather than furniture and soft furnishings. High quality design can allow people to live and work more effectively, contentedly, gainfully, securely and enjoyably in a more aesthetically pleasing and purposeful atmosphere.

Attractive IKEA Storage Chest
IKEA storage chest provides storage space with drawers in an attractive unit. Although not original intent as decoration, these pieces are a throwback to an era when steamboats trips resulted in long journeys, requiring travelers to pack enough personal property at a time, all in one piece of luggage. Since these parts are durable, many still exist in current functional state, serving as impressive room decor.
Some IKEA storage chest have flat tops, making it ideal for use as a coffee table, side table or a bedside table with drawers for storage. For a coffee table, add a glass table with a long trunk, squatting to protect upper trunk. Smaller, tall trunks serve as tables or bedside tables with storage space inside electronic remote controls or reading materials.
You can also use IKEA storage chest in your coffee bar, turn two or more vertical trunks game in chest in a bar area for entertainment in a corner of an entertainment room. A door or reclaimed wood floor bowling section serves as a top bar, while drawers within logs provide storage space maraschino cherries, waving sticks and glasses.

The thing is a huge ipower engine that stands over 7 feet tall by 4-5 wide by about 10 ft long!
We are calling in the Calvary to move this beast!
The time machine has already been moved and as I said the only thing left is the engine and a standard 20 ft long shipping container. Cant wait till morning!
So far it has taken us about a month to move everything else from the old factory to the new one, I love that we had one of the huge U Haul trucks to help us move everything.
The renovations on the new building look great! new energy-star windows the roof is currently being fixed and carpets laid down. I believe that most of the painting has been completed. Soon the contractors will be out and we can start setting up shop. I have to say the task list seems to grow every night!
For now good evening!

"A lot of the way we do content is a busted flush," said John Collins, Intercom's Director of Content, during his keynote session at yesterday's Learn Inbound.
Underneath the blue hue of the marketing conference's stage lights, Collins made his bold opening gambit to general agreement.
A former journalist, Collins has been instrumental to Intercom's content marketing ecosystem – a lean, sleek output that draws in massive numbers: 200,000 pageviews a month on the blog; 40,000 listeners on the podcast; and 300,000 downloads of Intercom's books – which are not, Collins stresses, eBooks.
It's a following that any brand would kill for. But it's the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) that's even more impressive. After all, those numbers mean nothing without the monetary value to back them up – and Intercom's is enviable, at $50 million.
So just how did they do it?
Collins revealed all at the mini-marketing summit.
Intercom's 10 key points to content marketing growth
1. Understand that great content is great marketing
In much the same way that eBooks are just books in Intercom HQ, content marketing is just marketing.
As a content agency, we're not about to pull a similar coup – but the logic is sound: content marketing is marketing, full stop. In one of his more arresting points, Collins spoke about how Intercom is often asked how its staffers make time for content – but no one ever asks where busy companies find the time for design or development work.
It happens because it needs to.
Content, Collins said, needs to happen too.
It's that simple.
Numbers like Intercom's don't happen by accident; they're the product of intelligent, driven, and constant marketing. Indeed, Intercom updates its blog five or six times a week – a pattern it has followed since day one. In fact, the first 93 of 100 blogs were written by Des Traynor, one of its co-founders and Chief Strategy Officer.
It's a top-down strategy with ultimate buy-in – which is integral to its success.
2. Be brand relevant
Content marketing can be contentious in its effort to sell. It's an issue we often run into with clients who think they want content; they actually want a PR splash piece with their name and product as the centrepiece.
Your CTAs and your pushes to sell need to be earned.
It isn't enough to write a 600-word piece that's self-referential and slap it with CTAs and lead capture forms – especially at various stages of the funnel.
For Collins, the key is in sending the right message at the right time to the right people. His team works to see the world through the lens of Intercom as a product – but that doesn't nullify the usefulness of the content or aim all efforts towards sales pieces.
Instead, it's a valuable matrix of usefulness and really good writing with CTAs where relevant.
The key here is 'relevant'.
3. What you'll measure is what you'll make
A paraphrase of a paraphrase, but still accurate.
Ultimately, Collins said, the metrics you'll measure will set the tone for what you'll produce. If you're chasing video views, it'll obviously be video. For traffic, it might be clickbait. And on and on.
The question here, however, is worth – or value. Chasing traffic and creating clickbait might cause your charts to spike upwards and to the right, but will it actively move the needle by driving conversions?
It's about balance and striking the line between metrics and ROI. Leads can't be ignored – especially in tech and SaaS, where brand recognition is nice but companies live or die by subscriber count.
4. Share your organisation's knowledge
No one cares what us marketers thinks. It's a point Collins was quick to stress and it's one we've discussed previously: no one is putting marketers on the cover of magazines.
Companies take a misstep when they attempt to "do" content marketing, i.e. it's a box they're ticking for the sake of it. No one just "does" strategic meetings or group marketing or other digital activities – so treat content with the respect it deserves if it's a tactic you're going to fully embrace.
Top-down buy-in is imperative, though it can be difficult in a busy organisation – or if it's a pet project for the CEO, who likes to "do" a bit of writing. Instead, play to ego and establish your higher-ups as thought leaders.
5. Set a realistic cadence
Companies often decide to give content marketing a try and they'll create a handful of blogs in record time. While publishing a blog a day might not seem like that much work, it can be time-consuming – especially if you want to create something that actually works. That's actually good.
When determining your content frequency, you'll need to consider the schedules of those responsible and how serious you actually are about it.
In Intercom's early days, the onus was on publishing something every day because a newsletter was set to go out at half five on the reg.
It was a pressure cooker – but it was an incentive that worked. In that same vein, a second Intercom hack sees monthly leader boards where teams members vie for top spot.
6. Don't cheap out
Don't cheap out and expect results.
The end.
Conversely, throwing budget isn't a guaranteed nod to success. Case in point: Slack's Variety Pack, a very high-value but since-discontinued podcast from the messaging platform.
7. Have an opinion
While simple guides are an easy option for content creation, it's probably already been done a boatload of times.
The internet is saturated with content – and you're not just doing battle with competitors. You're fighting Facebook or YouTube or whoever for attention and brain space. To win that attention, you're going to have to create something great, so prescriptive whatever isn't going to cut it.
8. Evergreen for the win
It's simple: evergreen content creates more traffic for the same effort.
Newsjacking and writing the news can be effective, but the lifespan is finite. News lives and dies in the span of a cycle – often a 24-hour spin.
Evergreen grows faster and bigger and is easier to manage.
In an interesting show of piety, Intercom doesn't have dates on the vast majority of its content because it doesn't matter.
9. Go where your customers are
You can create the greatest content in the world, but if no one can find it, it might as well not exist.
Choose your platforms wisely and play to your brand strengths. Anything else is wasted potential.
10. Multi-touch attribution is your friend
Content marketing isn't a one-stop conversion funnel.
Let's say that again: Content marketing isn't a one-stop conversion funnel.
It's rare that someone will read a blog or download an asset and immediately purchase a product. Collins used the example of a current Intercom customer who'd read the blog for three years but who'd worked for a company who wasn't interested. He switched jobs and brought Intercom onboard.
That's a three year conversion funnel that won't track on any analytics platform.
Content marketing (or just marketing, if you will) is a multi-touch journey. It's omnichannel and everywhere - a sort of omnipotent Google god.
Give your content a chance to succeed by allowing multi-touch. Determine if users have engaged with your content. Study ROAS on those who engaged with your content and those who didn't. Set up UTMs and track assisted conversions.
Content works – but it's a journey, so play to that.
Track to that. Give it space to work.
And that, ultimately, is how you'll grow from $1 dollar ARR to $50 million.

Unlike booking agencies, we offer our owners' a combined letting and management package to deliver a stress-free letting experience. As well as managing the day-today bookings and letting of a property, we include year-round inspections and property winterisation. Since many of our owners reside out of county, we have developed a service that delivers a virtually hands free ownership of a second home.
This management service is included in the fixed rate of commission that we earn from the bookings we generate for your property. We don't charge extra for it. The enhanced services we provide are there to reduce the burden on you and help to ensure your guests receive the best possible service – there are no hidden financial incentives for us.
We are very proud of the service we deliver and it is one of the reasons that we retain our owners' trust year after year.
Thank you so much. We get such a wonderful service from John Bray that it makes owning a holiday house a pleasure instead of the nightmare which it can so easily be!Owner - Speedwell
We never lose sight that it is your home above all, our owners' have unlimited stays and we let whichever weeks they allow. Rest assured that you would have full access to your money at any time during the year plus a full book keeping service with detailed end-of-year accounts. Through our RICS affiliation, you have the security of knowing that all your money is safe with us, in a dedicated client account, audited and protected by the RICS client money protection scheme.
We employ a team of 26 permanent staff to provide the appropriate care and attention that you would expect, ensuring each of our owners' receive a personalised service. Our professionally qualified team includes: maintenance, housekeeping, bookings, marketing, client accounts, admin, tradesmen, chartered surveyors and building technicians.
We understand that no two owners are the same, which is why we let you choose how your property is managed. Some of our owners opt for a hands-on approach to maintenance and housekeeping, others rely on us to provide a fully managed or part-managed service. We are happy with whatever works best for you.
Our experienced Maintenance Team can manage all aspects of your property's upkeep, from weekly caretaking to annual chimney sweeps. Our operating systems allow us to allocate the cost of any services and maintenance to your Client Account and, if required, pay invoices on your behalf.
For example you may have a reliable gardener or cleaner but do not want to handle the administration; if you let us know, we will pay them and deduct it from your Client Account. If you don't have either, then we can sort everything out on your instruction, and the same applies to tradesmen and professional services.
We operate a 24/7 emergency phone service for guests. The most common calls we get range from guests locking themselves out and heating malfunctions, to water leaks. Our team will deal with all of these issues on your behalf, or liaise with you first on bigger jobs.
As a second homeowner you will be interested in protecting your capital as well as your income and our ethos has always been to keep the capital asset at the front of our minds.
You will need holiday property insurance to cover buildings and contents as well as public liability insurance, but getting the right policy for holiday letting is not easy and importantly, any insurance is subject to the house being managed, inspected and compliant with all the relevant legal requirements.
Our contractual arrangement with our owners means we do not just advise on what is needed (leaving the responsibility and liability over those areas with you as the owner), we actually do the work, even taking over the responsibility for owners of conducting the Fire Risk Assessment.
When the time comes to pass the property onto the next generation, we are also here to help. Two of our directors are qualified RICS valuers and we can work with your tax advisors not only over annual income, but also for Inheritance Tax (IHT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT). If a sale is required we can integrate a smooth and successful transfer whilst continuing to maintain your letting income right up to the completion day.
Our in-house maintenance team includes experienced project managers and skilled workmen, so we are able to tackle most jobs ourselves. If a project is substantial or more involved, we can put you in touch with tradesmen and suppliers whom we know and trust. Over the years we have worked with just about everyone and have a wealth of experience for you to draw on.
For clients who do not wish to let their properties we also offer a key holding and inspection service at an agreed rate. We currently look after approximately 80 houses on this basis.

An 18-year-old Maywood driver was charged with assault by auto following a head-on DWI crash that sent three victims -- and himself -- to the hospital, authorities said.
David Fraile made a left turn from Conklin Avenue onto East Spring Valley Avenue when his Honda Civic slammed into a Jeep Cherokee around 1:10 a.m. Sunday, Detective Sgt. William Phayre said.
Several ambulances were called and took Fraile and the Jeep's three occupants – a 32-year-old woman and two men, 55 and 27 – to Hackensack University Medical Center, the sergeant said.
None of the injuries was considered life-threatening, he said.
Police charged Fraile with three counts of assault by auto, DWI and underage consumption of alcohol. He was released pending a hearing in Central Judicial Processing Court in Hackensack.

Content marketing is called by a variety of different names. Branded media, customer media, corporate journalism, custom publishing, and member media are all just a few of the different names. Can you think of anymore? Despite its many aliases, content marketing is the phrase that sums it up best, but what exactly is it?
Defining Content Marketing
In its most basic definition, content marketing could be described as a specific marketing technique that utilizes the creation and distribution of valuable and relevant content to a targeted demographic. This content is devises specifically to attract, engage, and retain a defined audience segment. The ultimate goal of content marketing is to drive potential clients to action that will be profitable for one's business.
In relation to your business, you could think of content marketing as the fine art of communicating with potential clients and business prospects without actually selling. Content marketing is often referred to as no interruption marketing. Instead of delivering a business pitch to a business prospect, you are providing that individual with information that is going to increase their knowledge base and overall awareness. The belief that drives content marketing is that, if a business can provide their clients with consistent, valuable information, then the client will reward their efforts with their loyalty and business.
Does this type of strategy actually work? You bet it does! Content marketing is practiced by some of the most successful businesses in the world, like Microsoft and Proctor & Gamble. It is a marketing tactic that is also frequently employed by small businesses around the globe. Today's consumers are so inundated with advertising everywhere they go that they have become immune to traditional marketing tactics. Content marketing has proven to be the most effective tactic for reaching jaded consumers.
Great Content Is What Makes Marketing Possible
Read our definition of content marketing one more time, but this time, remove the adjectives "valuable" and "relevant" from the text. What you are left with is content. This is the primary difference between the crap that junk companies try to sell you in the media and what content marketing truly is. Think about how often you are inundated with information on a daily basis. (Think spam.) This type of content has no applicable value to your daily life. Because content marketing has substance and value, it motivates you to think (and take action) differently than you normally would.
A recent study, published by Roper Public Affairs, uncovered that approximately 80% of those who make business decisions prefer to obtain their information about a specific company through a series of informative articles, rather than through an advertisement. 70% of these survey respondents stated that it makes them feel as though they are close to the business, and 60% of respondents stated that the provided business information enables them to make better business decisions. What if your business's client based actually looked forward to receiving your emails? Think of the difference it would make in the volume of business you conduct on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis!
Content marketing is all about making a connection with your business's targeted demographic. When the content you produce is anticipated, it can significantly increase the conversion rates of your marketing efforts. With a little planning and forethought, it will not be difficult for you to create sales messages that your clients eagerly anticipate. Interruption marketing has become such a way of life that, for many consumers, the value of content marketing is a welcome relief. This is why content marketing is the marketing solution for the here and now…and the future.

Sitting at a desk all day does not do anything for your body. In fact, it can actually have a myriad of negative effects like weight gain and anxiety. But there are a few simple exercises that you can do at your desk or in your office that will help to get you centered and working on your fitness. Here are just a few to try the next time you find yourself sitting at your desk and wishing you could be a bit more active.
Seated Leg Planks
While you are sitting at your desk even if you are in a cubicle you can do a raised leg plank. Scoot to the edge of your seat and then lift up and extend your leg straight in front of you. Once your leg is extended you will want to hold it parallel to the floor for a minimum of ten seconds. Then repeat this with your other leg for a series of ten reps on each side. Over time you may wish to hold it for longer or do more reps but this exercise will strengthen your entire leg.
Raise Your Shoulders
Sitting all day and typing is especially hard on the shoulders which can be subject to repetitive stress injuries. To try and avoid those, doing shoulder raises periodically throughout the day can relieve some tension. You can choose to raise both shoulders up to your ears or do them on at a time and then hold the raise for around 10 seconds and repeat. This will help to loosen up your muscles.
This exercise might look a little bit odd while at your desk but it is one of the best ones for strengthening your core and your arms. You will need a chair with armrests for this one. Remove your elbows from the armrests and instead place your hands there. Then, with your back straight push up with your hands and hold yourself off the chair for around 10 seconds. You should try to repeat this at least ten times.
This is more of a stretch than an exercise but an equally important one. If you find yourself slouching or hunched over your keyboard your back may be quite sore. Try to maintain good posture and once seated upright, take your left hand and move it behind your left hip, then twist at the waist for a spine twist. This should help to alleviate any pressure that you may be feeling from being seated for hours. If at the end you still feel like you need to move around a bit more, take a short walk around the office.

Roof Mounted Solar System Arrays
Solar energy has never been more common in the US. Investing in a solar energy system for your home has become one of the most stable and smart investments that a homeowner can make. There are so many reasons for its increasing popularity. Improved technology and reduction in material costs over the years have helped make solar energy a very cost-effective and viable option for most homes in New York and Connecticut.
Our professionals at SolarPlus are here to assist you through the process to help you gain your energy independence, reduce your carbon footprint and increase your savings. With a solar electric system you will free yourself from the rising utility rates year after year.
At SolarPlus, we offer residential solar PV systems for homeowners. As a "whole house" home performance consultant, our team is uniquely trained to evaluate your home and to determine whether solar makes sense for you, while considering other improvements to reduce the cost and improve the performance of your solar PV array.
Two Types of Solar Roof Installations
- Traditional Modules: These are mounted on a racking system that is attached to your roof. They are standard modules arranged in landscape or portrait mounted on top of rails that are attached to your roof.
- Solar Roofing Shingles: These have the same appearance as your roof does now, installed in layers on your roof just like a standard shingle, except they generate energy. This is a great option for those needing a new roof, or who prefer the aesthetic appeal they offer.
Whichever method you choose, the manufacturing process has become so efficient that solar technology has advanced to the point where modules are mass-produced across the globe, lowering prices for installers like us, who then pass on those savings to our customers. The price of solar has decreased 80% since 2010, allowing consumers to achieve higher returns on their investment, and faster payback on money spent.
Benefits of a Residential Solar Electric System
- Utilize residential tax incentives
- State grants awarded (for qualified systems)
- Stabilized energy costs
- Dramatic savings on energy bills for the lifetime of the system
- Gain energy independence
- Sell back excess energy to the utility
- Reduce your home's carbon footprint
- Increase the value of your home * According to the National Appraisal Institute, for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills, a home's value increases by $20.
- Social community impact: doing good is good for everyone!
Save Money, and Help Reduce Climate Change
It's so easy to go solar. Why not choose a source of energy that saves you money and is also environmentally friendly? Growing interest in solar power centers on its value as an investment – for the environment and your property.
Going solar not only allows you to cut your energy costs but also supports the growth of renewable energy as a clean power source and increases your property value.
If your roof cannot accommodate panels, our team of solar professionals will evaluate your property for a ground array.
Step by Step: We will help
- Call us today for your free solar consultation: call (877) 523-5223 to schedule an appointment or contact us.
- We will provide a detailed analysis of your property and energy usage
- One of our highly trained engineer will provide a custom design appropriate to your home's energy needs and goals as well as your site's specifics.
- Our highly qualified SolarPlus team will handle all necessary paperwork required for securing state grants, permitting and inspections to get your system installed and operating.
- Start Saving!
The SolarPlus team looks forward to helping you to freedom of rising energy prices!
Return on Investment
Installing a photovoltaic system is an investment that is guaranteed to pay for itself. Depending on the how you choose to pay for the system the typical Return on Investment for a cash purchase is ~10 -12% per year… a 8-10 year payback! After the payback…your system will continue to produce power for over 20 years. That is all money in your pocket that you would have had to continue to give to your utility.
You need to get your energy from somewhere. You can choose to continue to pay the utility for your power, but there is no savings and a 0% return of the money you pay that bill with. The longer you wait to install your solar electric system the more money you are losing to the rate increases of your utility company. Why wait?
Your choice of a solar installer is an important decision. We will be working with you to design and install your system, and provide support after your system is complete.
Call us today for your free solar consultation: call (877) 523-5223 to schedule an appointment or contact us.
