Measuring sand and water game
Teach your child to learn measurement-related terms, such as 'half', 'quarter', 'full' and 'empty' with this game that they can play in the backyard sandpit or during bath time.
What you need
- Water or sand
- Measuring cups
- Bottles, buckets, tins, bowls or anything that can hold water and sand
There is no doubt that young children just love playing with both sand and water so why not use the hours they spend in the bath or sandpit as a learning experience?
While your child is happily playing in the sandpit, ask him to do some tasks for you such as, "Fill the cup to the top," "Empty the red bowl of sand into the blue bucket." You may also ask questions such as, "How many red cups of sand fill the blue bucket?" Or show him that the green cup will fill one quarter of the yellow tin.
Likewise, when your child is splashing around in the bath, teach her some measurement terms as she plays. You could even put plastic cooking measurement cups in the bathtub as toys.
Note: For this to work your little one is best not to know that you are 'teaching' him about volume, but rather allow him to hear you using the correct terminology.

Football, basketball, baseball.
Football, basketball, baseball.
Football, basketball, baseball.
Football, basketball, and soon-to-be baseball.
As a soon-to-be three-sport athlete for four straight years, Wauconda senior Austin Swenson knows what its like to be under the gun.
His entire high school career has been a continuous exercise of balancing an accelerated academic curriculum with the rigorous demands of not one, not two but three sports that each require year-round training.
It can be a real struggle at times, said Swenson, an honors student.
And yet, that struggle cant even compare to the strain and pressure that Swenson has been under this week.
His dream college, Rose-Hulman, an engineering juggernaut in southern Indiana, came to visit him on Thursday.
The 6-foot-2 Swenson wants to play football in college, and he generated plenty of interest last fall after passing for 1,800 yards and 17 touchdowns while leading the Bulldogs to a playoff berth. But over the past couple of months, hes turned away one school after another because the academic fit wasnt quite right.
Nowhere in the country has Swenson been able to find the kind of specific four-year undergraduate civil engineering program hes looking for except for at Rose-Hulman.
So if Swenson didnt convince the Rose-Hulman coaches during their visit that hes the perfect quarterback for them, his dream college and his dream engineering program might be out of reach. He would need the financial assistance hed get as a football player in order to afford Rose-Hulmans $55,000 per year price tag.
The last few months have been very stressful, said Swenson, who boasts nearly a 3.9 grade point average in mostly accelerated classes. I havent been finding many of the engineering programs I want, and when I do, its about trying to find the right fit with football, too.
I already visited Rose-Hulman and thats my No. 1 school. The coaches wanted to come here and visit me just to talk to me again and find out more about me. Its another chance for them to see my face, and see how interested I am in them. Its also a chance for me to get their interest higher in me. Im hoping that I boost their confidence in me.
While Swenson spent the better part of the last week devising his strategy for how to work the Rose-Hulman coaches, hes been working out his stresses on the basketball court.
Basketball is his break, Wauconda basketball coach Scott Luetschwager said. This is fun for him.
Indeed, these days, Swensons second-best sport has become like a best friend, comfortable, easy, welcoming, fun and best of all, uncomplicated. He was all smiles Monday, even though his visit with the Rose-Hulman coaches loomed, after scoring a game-high 16 points on two 3-pointers in a win over Woodstock North.
Its been nice to get on the basketball court and just play and not worry about whats going on with colleges and my application with Rose-Hulman and the coaches there, said Swenson, a quick and slippery shooting guard. I really like playing basketball a lot. Its right there after football for me.
Swenson began playing football in fifth grade. For four years before that, soccer was Swensons fall sport, which means that he has been sustaining a three-sport rotation for the last 12 years.
Hes a rare breed, Wauconda football coach Dave Mills said of Swenson. You dont see many kids like Austin anymore.
Indeed, the three-sport athlete, let alone the three-sport athlete four times over is a dying breed. Specialization and demanding off-season training programs have caused that.
But Swenson says he never gave a passing thought to eliminating one of his sports. He loves them all too much.
Ive always wanted to be a 12-sport athlete in high school, said Swenson, a utility player in baseball who has done everything from pitch to play third base. Only a handful of athletes at Wauconda have ever done it and I want to be in that group.
I remember thinking when I was a freshman that I wasnt sure I was going to be able to do it because it would be such a struggle with school and everything else. But Ive enjoyed every second of it and Im proud of the fact that Ive been able to stick with it and get it done.
Swenson would love to get his college decision over and done with. The sooner, the better.
Hes optimistic that Rose-Hulman will work out, but waiting to know for sure wont be easy. The coaches could contact him with their answer anytime between now and signing day in February.
Its kind of a risky situation for me that I put pretty much all of my eggs in one basket, Swenson said. But at the same time, I know its the right thing.

The Council Tax that you pay is used to help finance the services provided by not only Bolsover District Council but also by the following authorities:
- Derbyshire County Council
- Derbyhire county Council - Adult Social Care
- Derbyshire Police Authority
- Derbyshire Fire and Rescue
- Parish Councils (if applicable)
The Council Tax is then calculated after taking into account the grants received from Central Government. Council Tax is charged for every property within the District. There is one bill per household and Council Tax is all due and payable on 1st April each year. However, legislation allows for 10 monthly instalments, but as of April 2013, legislation now also allows for 12 monthly instalments. To request this you must apply to us either in writing or by email.
Bolsover District Council Council tax Information by Revenues, Income and Parish
Derbyshire County Council Financial Information 2020-21
When contacting us:
Please be aware that we can only discuss an account with the person named on the bill. If you want someone else to be able to contact us on your behalf please fill in our Third Party Authorisation form and return to the Council.
Please note
From the 15th February 2018 and to comply with regulation, the Authority will not be able to process card payments from customers using the web browsers listed here.
Council Tax and Business Rates are payable in monthly instalments which are shown on your bill. There are a variety of ways to pay your bill, the simplest is to use our online method, found in the 'Pay it' button above. You can also pay via the below methods, and all the relevent contact details are on the contacts box on this page:
- Direct Debit payments - this is the quickest and most convenient way to pay your bill. You can set up a Direct Debit by either telephoning us on 01246 242440 or by completing the Direct Debit (1.34MB) mandate. You can choose to pay on 1st, 7th, 15th, 21st or 28th of each month.
- Telephone - You can pay through your own bank's telephone/on-line services **
- Pay online - You can make payments on our website through our secure payments page.
- You can pay by cash or debit card at the kiosks at any of our Contact Centres in Bolsover, Clowne, Shirebrook or South Normanton
- Debit Card - You can pay by Debit Card over the telephone. Please ring 0300 4560503 and follow the step-by-step instructions. You can ring at any time, the service is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
** The process for all payments taken over the telephone via a Customer Advisor is changing in August 2020. We have to mitigate the risk of a data breach and therefore to protect your payment card data, we have invested in a new payment protection solution.
When you call us to make a card payment, you will no longer be asked to read your card details over the phone. You will enter the card details via your telephone keypad when prompted. The Customer Advisor doesn't hear or see the card data, all they see are asterisks on the screen. You can still speak to the Advisor throughout the entire process but the sensitive card data is prevented from reaching our network environment.
If you have any query about paying your bill, please contact the Revenues Team using the contact details opposite.
You may also appeal against the banding of a new property or against an alteration in your banding made by the Valuation Office.
Appeals should be made to the Valuation Office at the following address:
The Valuation Office Agency
Main Switchboard Tel: 03000 501 501
For full details of the grounds for appealing against your banding visit the Valuation Office web site at www.voa.gov.uk
If you are experiencing financial difficulties in paying your Council Tax bill you need to tell us immediately so we can help you. Please do not wait until you are behind with your payments before seeking advice. We have also introduced our own Debt Recovery Policy (223kb).
The Law Says...Council Tax becomes due on 1st April each year. However, under normal circumstances the law allows payment to be spread over 10 months from April to January, reducing as the year progresses. You are only entitled to be sent up to two reminders for Council Tax before losing the right to pay by instalments.
This is how it works...
- On the first occasion that you fail to pay an instalment by the due date (this is the date specified on your bill) a reminder will be sent to you. If you pay the amount requested promptly at this stage and remain up-to-date with payments you will maintain the right to pay by instalments. If, however, you fail to pay the amount requested by the due date, a summons will be issued. The summons will increase your debt as court costs will be added and you will lose the right to pay by instalments for the rest of the year. The whole of the year's Council Tax, which remains outstanding will become payable immediately.
- If you have had one reminder and paid it promptly, but then fail to pay by the due date a second time, the same procedures as above will apply.
- If you fail to pay on time for a third time in a year you will be sent a final reminder. This means the right to pay by instalments will be lost for the remainder of the year, even if you brought your account up-to-date on the previous occasions. The whole amount for the year must be paid in full within 7 days. If you fail to pay the full amount a summons will be issued and court costs added to your account. Please pay on time to avoid any additional costs.
What to do if you have received a Council Tax summons
- If you have been sent a summons, it will be because our records show that you were sent a Council Tax bill requiring instalment payment on specified dates. You were then sent a reminder informing you that one or more instalments were overdue. The reminder warned you that you would lose your right to pay by instalments if a payment was not made within 7 days. As you have not paid, this right has now been withdrawn and the summons is for the full amount outstanding for the year including costs incurred to date which are now added to the sum due.
- If you paid your bill recently, have already paid all outstanding instalments shortly before receiving the summons, or if the summons is incorrect in any way then you need to contact our Recovery Section to ensure that your payment has been correctly credited to your account and to discuss your case. If the summons is subsequently withdrawn by the Council, please help us by ensuring your future instalments are paid by the due date. The best way to ensure that your instalments reach us on time is to pay by Direct Debit (1.3mb). If you have a bank account you can take advantage of this easy option; a direct debit can be set up over the telephone.
- If the court decides that Council Tax has been set correctly and all documents issued in accordance with legislation, and that you have not paid the full amount outstanding, it will grant us a "liability order". This order will give us power to obtain payment in a number of ways, as we may choose. These include your account being passed to the Council's Enforcement Agents, deductions from earnings or Income Support/JSA/ESA, charging order, bankruptcy proceedings, committal to prison.
- Once the summons is correctly issued, the proceedings can be stopped only by making payment in full. This payment must be received by us before the date of the court hearing. Post dated cheques will not be accepted. It is important that your case is easily identified as one to be stopped. To enable us to do this, please write your account reference and summons number on the reverse of your cheque. If paying by cash, please enclose a note showing your account reference and summons number. Payments will not be accepted at the court.
- If you are unable to pay the full amount immediately, you need to contcat our Recovery Section immediately.
If you have not already claimed Council Tax Support, you may wish to do so now. However, this will not prevent further action on this summons.
Should I attend the Court?
It is your right to attend the court hearing to present your case if you feel that you are not liable for the amount shown on the summons. However, the only legal reasons why a liability order will not be granted are that the amount has not been legally demanded or that it has been paid. It is easier, quicker and cheaper to sort out all matters before the hearing by contacting our Recovery Section.
When you attend court, the court staff will be available to direct you to the court room where the application will be heard. While every effort will be made to ensure the application will be dealt with on the date specified in the summons sent to you, in the event that there is insufficient court time for it to be heard on that day, you will then be given details of the date and time you are next required to attend court.
For independent advice and information you can contact your local:
- Citizens Advice Bureau - Telephone: 0300 456 8437. The NEDCAB have also produced a Debt and Budgeting Calculator which can be used to produce a draft financial statement or act as a basic income and expenditure budgeting guide/tool.
- National Debtline - Telephone 0808 808 4000.
The eight valuation bands are:
Band A - Values not exceeding £40,000
Each band is subject to a different level of tax; Band A will have the lowest tax and Band H the highest. The relevant band for your dwelling will be shown on your Council Tax bill

Mazomanie death called homicide
News conference scheduled for Tuesday afternoon
MAZOMANIE, Wis. — The Dane County Sheriff's Office is calling the death of a woman in Mazomanie on Sunday a homicide.
A news conference is scheduled for 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Authorities are waiting on autopsy results before identifying a woman who was found dead in a Mazomanie home Sunday.
Neighbors told News 3 there was some kind of commotion in the garage shortly before investigators showed up Sunday night.
"As soon as they wrapped the tape around the trees you kind of knew something was going on, but you didn't know what to expect until you start hearing stuff," neighbor Alex Wille said.
Wille said police came to his door and told him the woman who was found dead was the homeowner.
Deputies were called to 306 Scott St. at 7:10 p.m. Sunday for a report of an injured woman.
The middle-aged woman was pronounced dead at the scene by the Dane County Medical Examiner's Office.
Sheriff Dave Mahoney told News 3 no one is in custody. He said the woman was discovered by a family member who was checking on her. He believes she died sometime Sunday.
"We have nobody in custody at this point, but we are following up on several leads, and look for the public and associates of this woman to call us if they have any information," Mahoney said.
Deputies said the death appears suspicious and detectives are following up with friends, relatives, past partners and acquaintances.
"We have multiple detectives working throughout the county following up on leads, and some are turning out to be fruitful at this point," Mahoney said.
Until the autopsy is complete, deputies aren't releasing the cause of death, but Dane County Dispatch did confirm that a call came in shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday night at the same address for an apparent gunshot wound.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Dane County tip line at 608-284-6900.24639500

The agreement with Drawbase accelerates IBM's ability to help customers move from facilities maintenance to facilities management – analyzing critical building and operational information to make informed business decisions, improve efficiencies and reduce costs. The new Drawbase space management capabilities round out IBM's intelligent facilities management solutions that help customers efficiently design, operate and maintain facilities and data centers.
Property is the second largest organizational expense – typically right behind labor – with operational expense responsible for half of a building's lifecycle cost**. Organizations often lack the ability to see across their facilities and apply analytics to improve operations and efficiencies.
By licensing Drawbase code, IBM is extending its intelligent facilities solution to also include space planning capabilities such as move management, space utilization, occupancy tracking, capacity planning, and lock and key management. The integration of Drawbase technology into the IBM portfolio also allows organizations to visualize vital information across the enterprise to accurately and efficiently maintain business operations.
IBM helps customers manage all of their critical assets across the enterprise – from facilities, to the data center, transportation, production and communications assets. Delivering space management capabilities as part of its facilities portfolio further strengthens IBM's smart, green, sustainable solutions for cities and buildings announced in February.
"Better management of buildings and facilities are an untapped source of efficiency for businesses in every industry," said Bill Sawyer, vice president, IBM Software. "With the new space management capabilities from the Drawbase code, IBM can now help clients comprehensively manage the layout, space usage, maintenance, operations and assets of their facilities intelligently and in line with broader business objectives."
Drawbase is computer aided facilities management software that helps enable building managers to make the most out of every square foot of space. When integrated with IBM Maximo Software, the solution maps and dynamically tracks all the mechanical, electrical, telecom, plumbing, gas lines and electrical data. With applied analytics capabilities, organizations can take the information gathered and make informed business decisions to improve operations and control costs.
Specifically, with Drawbase and IBM software, managers can:
- speed office and people moves by creating work orders from drawings
- properly allocate space for occupants in space design and utilization or department moves
- manage the IT infrastructure in line with occupant and building infrastructure needs
- manage local area network and telecommunications information, as well as mechanical, electrical and plumbing to better ensure business continuity and safety
- provide floor plan and rack elevation views in the data center, making it easy to drill down to asset detail and get a graphical view of real-time rack availability
- provide real-time reporting on rack content, interconnections, heat and power loads from third party monitoring tools, as well as track critical data from electrical circuits, available RU's, BTU's, component interconnections and installation dates
- deliver chargeback capabilities to be able to bill divisions of the company for their asset and resource usage
- provide lock and key management, for improved processes around the distribution and tracking of keys for better safety and security
As an IBM Business Partner for more than a decade, Drawbase has worked closely with IBM to ensure the close integration of Drawbase with IBM's enterprise asset management and facilities management software.
"For the past 24 years, Drawbase Software has supplied global customers with building design and facility management information systems," said Evan Kontos, CEO of Drawbase. "Our relationship with IBM has helped to enrich our offering and grow our customer base. With Drawbase technology serving as a critical component of its facilities management portfolio, IBM is helping organizations design, manage and maintain some of the Greenest, cost-minded and operationally efficient buildings and facilities in the world."
IBM is committed to creating smarter buildings that integrate and optimize the physical and digital infrastructure of buildings and groups of buildings to create facilities that are cost effective for owners, operationally efficient, comfortable and productive for occupants, safer and more secure, and environmentally responsible for the planet.

Lightspeed Entrepreneurship: Thoughts on eCommerce, Gaming, Scaling, and More

They are currently investing out of Lightspeed IX, a $675 million fund focused on early and expansion stage investments in the consumer, enterprise technology, and cleantech markets."Lightspeed Entrepreneurship" is a curated collection of Jeremy Liew's writings from the Lightspeed blog (www.lsvp.com/blog/). Jeremy Liew is a Partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners, joining the firm in 2006. He invests primarily in the Internet and mobile sectors with a particular interest in massive-scale social media, commerce, gaming, financial services, and methods for increasing monetization. He was named to Forbes' Midas List in 2011 and 2012.Book ExcerptIf Google Can't Get Local Merchants to Self Serve, You Probably Can't EitherLocal has been a category that has long attracted a lot of attention from internet startups. Not surprising given that it is a $130 billion market. Now that Groupon and Living Social (a Lightspeed portfolio company) are growing so fast, it is attracting even more attention from startups.Most of these startups focus on innovating on their product, and aim to have a "sales light" approach.Usually they start with a self service business model, expecting local businesses to go to the web to sign up for service on their own. They mostly point to Google as the evidence that self service can scale.I've long been skeptical that self service works for selling products to local businesses. From my time at CitySearch in 1996 to today, I haven't seen this work. In fact, I'd argue that ReachLocal exists as a public company solely because Google can't get local merchants to self serve. Today, perhaps lost in the holiday shuffle, the Wall Street Journal notes that even Google has turned to a call center sales force to reach local merchants.The Internet-search giant this year has hired several hundred sales representatives to call U.S. businesses such as spas, restaurants and hotels to promote new advertising initiatives, people familiar with the matter said. The effort includes an office in Tempe, Arizona, with around 100 sales representatives, one of these people said.The other business model that startups attacking local hope to rely on is channel partnerships. Many startups have struck deals with local yellow pages, or newspaper groups, to sell their product too. They have typically been disappointed when sales numbers come in far short of projections. It is hard to get someone elses salesforce to know and care about your product as much as you do, especially when they are used to selling traditional media and not online media.The winners in this category (Yelp, Groupon, Living Social, Yodle, ReachLocal, CitySearch, etc) have all relied on a direct sales force, whether on the phone, or feet on the street, to drive their revenue growth.If you want to make a business in local online media, you have to control your own destiny and build your own salesforce.

Have your little girls discovered Lalaloopsy
dolls yet? In the summer we held a multi-family yard sale and Lou absolutely fell in love with one of the dolls one of the other families was selling. Lucky her, she had 50 cents to buy it! Since then it has been the coveted toy around here. All the girls think they are great and thanks to Maisy's birthday we've recently added a couple of the mini dolls to our collection. They are packaged in a tiny cardboard house, but the houses haven't withstood my girls' play so we decided to make them a home ourselves.
We just used shoeboxes, scrapbook paper, foam stickers and other "junk" we had lying around to make them. Here's some shots of what they worked on all Sunday afternoon.
|Lou decided her house needed a patio.
|The window is just right.
|I helped Maisy add a slide to her house, unfortunately the dolls
get stuck in it, but it's perfect for their little pets.
|I love the little bed - a toilet paper tube cut in half.
|Lou taped a flameless tea light to the roof.
|Busy, busy, busy -
they worked really hard on this most of the afternoon.


text: Joseph Adler's "Scream, Baby, Scream" can pretty much be summed up as a bad acid trip. Written by Larry Cohen ("It's Alive"), we meet a world renowned artist who plans on taking his artwork to the next level by creating living masterpieces with women that he's kidnapped. The bad dialogue, goofy fashions, and the tripped out camera angles give the feeling of many of those fun 60's monster movies. Unfortunately, it doesn't really have much going for it other than some fun psychedelic poster art. That and a weird scene where teenagers take acid and go play in a monkey cage at the zoo.

Notes from the South: Meat-and-Threes in Georgia
More Notes from the South
Sweatman's Bar-B-Que »
Raleigh Farmer's Market »
Allen & Son »
Of all the delicious items I consumed down South, no culinary concept was more memorable than that of the meat-and-three. As a carpetbagger who'd never been much further south than the Mason-Dixon line, the idea that every entrée ought to be flanked by three sides, or two at the very least, was impressive.
Why don't all meats up North come with a wide array of choices from which a whopping three can be selected? Adding so many sides to the main dish not only expands the variety, but it also makes the dining experience more holistic. Georgia, by and large, had the highest concentration of meat-three-joints per capita. It was an immensely reassuring feeling knowing that at whatever restaurant we chose to eat, the meat-and-three would most likely be the default option.
Here's a look at some of the more memorable meat-and-three platters I consumed in the state »

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Lamivudine is used in combination with other medicines for the treatment of the infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Lamivudine will not cure or prevent HIV infection or AIDS. It helps keep HIV from reproducing and appears to slow down the destruction of the immune system. This may help delay the development of serious health problems usually related to AIDS or HIV disease from occurring. Lamivudine will not keep you from spreading HIV to other people. People who receive this medicine may continue to have other problems usually related to AIDS or HIV disease.
Lamivudine is also used to treat chronic (long-term) hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of lamivudine for the treatment of HIV infection in children 3 months of age and older. However, safety and efficacy have not been established in children younger than 3 months of age.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of lamivudine for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B infection in children 2 to 17 years of age. However, safety and efficacy have not been established in children younger than 2 years of age.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of lamivudine in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving lamivudine.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
Take this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more of it, do not take it more often, and do not take it for a longer time than your doctor ordered.
This medicine comes with a patient information leaflet. Read and follow the instructions carefully. Ask your doctor if you have any questions.
Epivir® and Epivir-HBV® both contain the same medicine, but Epivir® has more medicine in each tablet or dose of liquid. Use only the brand of this medicine that your doctor prescribed. If you have HIV or AIDS, you need to use Epivir®. If you have hepatitis B but you do not have HIV or AIDS, you can use Epivir-HBV®.
Your doctor may want to test you for HIV before you start using Epivir-HBV® and during your treatment. Your medicine may need to be changed based on these test results.
It is important to take Epivir® as part of a combination regimen. Take all of the medicines your doctor prescribed at the right time of day. This will make your medicines work better.
Keep using lamivudine for the full time of treatment, even if you or your child begin to feel better. Do not stop using it without checking first with your doctor. When your supply of the medicine is running low, contact your doctor or pharmacist ahead of time. Do not allow yourself to run out of the medicine.
If you are using the oral liquid, use a specially marked measuring spoon, dosing syringe, or medicine cup to measure each dose accurately. The average household teaspoon may not hold the right amount of liquid.
The dose of this medicine will be different for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or the directions on the label. The following information includes only the average doses of this medicine. If your dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor tells you to do so.
The amount of medicine that you take depends on the strength of the medicine. Also, the number of doses you take each day, the time allowed between doses, and the length of time you take the medicine depend on the medical problem for which you are using the medicine.
Note: Patients that require treatment for both hepatitis B and either AIDS or HIV should follow the dosing schedule for HIV or AIDS.
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
Ask your healthcare professional how you should dispose of any medicine you do not use.
It is very important that your doctor check your or your child's progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood and urine tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Do not use this medicine if you or your child is also taking zalcitabine or medicines containing emtricitabine or lamivudine (eg, Atripla®, Combivir®, Complera®, Emtriva®, Epzicom®, Stribild®, Trizivir®, Truvada®). Tell your doctor right away if you are using any of these medicines.
Two rare but serious reactions to this medicine are lactic acidosis (build-up of acid in the blood) and liver toxicity, including an enlarged liver. These are more common if you are female, very overweight (obese), or have been taking anti-HIV medicines for a long time. Call your doctor right away if you or your child has stomach discomfort or cramping, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, a decreased appetite, a general feeling of discomfort, muscle cramping or pain, unusual tiredness or weakness, trouble breathing, or yellow skin or eyes.
This medicine may cause worsening of hepatitis B infection when treatment is stopped. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns about this.
Pancreatitis may occur while you are using Epivir®. Tell your doctor right away if you or your child has sudden and severe stomach pain, chills, constipation, nausea, vomiting, fever, or lightheadedness.
Your immune system may get stronger when you start using Epivir®. This could cause a hidden infection in your body to become active. Tell your doctor right away if you or your child notice any changes in your health.
Lamivudine does not decrease the risk of transmitting HIV infection or hepatitis B infection to others through sexual contact or by contamination through blood. HIV or hepatitis B may be acquired from or spread to others through infected body fluids, including blood, vaginal fluid, or semen. If you are infected, it is best to avoid any sexual activity involving an exchange of body fluids with other people. If you do have sex, always wear (or have your partner wear) a condom ("rubber"). Only use condoms made of latex or polyurethane and use them every time you have contact with semen, vaginal secretions, or blood. Also, do not re-use or share needles or equipment with anyone. If you have any questions about this, check with your doctor.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.

UFO Update
Posted by dandare on October 21, 2007
Hands up who distrusts their government….. it does not matter which nation i'm talking about! American, British, Dutch or whoever! According to a recent poll in Boston Now (posted 16th october,2007), it suggests a growing distrust in the Federal government (in the US, but could be applied to alot of governments whatever nation).
In this article, it refers to 9/11, the killing of JFK, covering up the existance of ET?
In Stuff.co,nz (posted 17th october,2007) the ufo is possibly identified? A mysterious object seen in the sky about 2 months ago probably was a commercial aeroplane (the conclusion of Bill Weir, an amateur Astronomer). UFO Focus New Zealand has classified this as a UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon) due to the fact there was no scheduled aircraft in the area.
According to Buzzle.com (posted 19th October,2007), "Latest Reports: Latest UFO Sightings" It says…………….
"Do the UFO reports that come out every now and then in the news have any credibility? According to UFO research done by scientists, it is highly probable that some of the UFO sightings do have truth in them. Here is a brief discussion, along with the reports of some recent UFO sightings" (extract from article).
Fortean times UK, has a fascinating article written by Andy Roberts (dated october 2007) about "A saucerful of Secrets", in which he relates to 1967, and the way things where percieved in the UK …."Step back 40 years to the heady days of 1967 as Andy Roberts explains how the Summer of Love was in part shaped by the hippie movement's fascination with flying saucers" (extract from article). Posters and Rock bands added to this image, enhanced and added too by what was being smoked; of course there were other factors as well.
In courierPress.com "UFO network meeting saturday" (posted 18th october,2007) in which, "Strange lights are still flashing above the Midwest, so Jerry Sievers and his friends with the Mutual UFO Network of Indiana are getting together again to try to figure out why" (extract from article).
In the washingtonpost.com "In the Orbit of UFO Enthusiasts" (posted 21st october,2007) mentions that members "Operating in a Galaxy of Doubt, Disbelief and Dismissal, UFO Buffs Make Their Case That . . . We Are Not Alone" (extract from article). Several of the members are asked general questions, and some have some interesting responses too.
In Worcester Magazine.com "It came from beyond", (posted 18th october,2007), Robert Hastings' (UFO researcher) opinions are made known, and it stems back to 1967 and what he saw……….later in the article he mentions that..
"I am not condemning any government agency for its policy of secrecy regarding UFOs, says Hastings, "but I believe that the American people should be given the facts." (extract from article) ……….and i totally agree; however, i feel that we will never get the truth, unless we can really add sustained pressure?
In PHYSORG.com "Gossip more powerful than facts in shaping opinion: study" (posted 16th october,2007). It starts off with "Gossip may do more to shape a person's opinion than facts they know to be true, even when the chit-chat contradicts the evidence…..[.]" This was a study by German researchers.
At Seti.org "Inauguration Day for Alien Signal-Hunting Telescope" (posted 11th october,2007)..The Allen they are referring to is Microsoft's co-founder. It goes on to mention that….
"Eventually, the ATA will start a massive campaign to examine approximately a million nearby star systems. That's a thousand times more than all those carefully scrutinized in the past" (extract from article).
At vnunet.com "British boffins float flying saucer" (posted 16th october); could these one day replace helicopters…. on the video evidence from gizmomdo.com , they have a long way to go yet… but it's a start. Interestingly though, this is only the first stage of developments, with them recieving grants from the department of business (UK), and the US Department of Defence.
In thisisexeter.co.uk "MYSTIFIED PAUL CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN UFO IN THE SKY " (posted 15th october,2007);
"He said: "The thing I saw was glowing orange and it kind of jumped to the right as it travelled and kept on going in the same direction." (extract from article).
In wscountytimes.co.uk, they cut to the bold heading of " 'UFO' spotted" (posted 12th october,2007).
The event took place in Rusper (near Hosham) on the 5th october….. "Minutes after seeing what appeared to be a meteorite, a group of ten to 13-year-olds say they saw a strange fast moving object with flashing lights" (extract from article).
In Aero-news.net (posted 15th october,2007) "Hobbyist Gleefully Fools SoCal Residents With 'UFO' " .
"A radio control model airplane hobbyist has a strange sense of humor that has people looking to the skies over Southern California" (extract from article).
In thisisplymouth.co.uk, it posted on the 16th october,2007… " STRANGE SIGHTS THAT LIT UP THE NIGHT SKY" . It mentions old reports of UFO sightings from the past in the local area.
Other interesting articles that you might like to have a look at are:
"Is there life on a moon of Saturn? (posted in The Observer, 14th october,2007),
Transformation Through Extraterrestrial Contact" (posted – American Chronicle, 19th october),

"secret flying objects 2" (posted 16th october,2007 by iDNEZ.CZ)
"secret flying objects 3" (posted 17th october,2007 by iDNEZ.CZ).
Lastly, in the sussexexpress.co.uk "Alien UFOs mystery solved" (posted 18th october,2007) ; this is in relation to the sighting at Uckfield…again it seems the real reason was a wedding celebration, with the red orbs, in fact being chinese lanterns.

Find out About Personal Finances And How You can Save Far more Money
Yes, naturally you can discover exceptional information about all items aviation colleges, however the body of understanding can often appear intimidating. We're not faulting folks for lack of expertise about it, and we do see that some factors may possibly not make an immediate connection. So, we hope you are acquiring a sense or notion that it truly is in your best interest to help keep seeking until you're positive you have all you'll need. Following this complete strategy will ultimately allow you to function considerably more competently only due to the fact you will know what needs to be understood. With this topic, we really mean it when we say that you can go beyond what any one article will need to say about it.
Individual finance is all about producing selections. You can find, needless to say, proper choices and incorrect alternatives. Often, of course, right verses incorrect is dependent on the particulars with the scenario. A lot more frequently than not; nonetheless, in relation to personal finance, some options are much more most likely to become incorrect than they are proper because it is noted in this post.
You as well as your youngsters must think about public schools for college more than private universities. You'll find a lot of very prestigious state schools that may expense you a fraction of what you would spend at a private school. Also think about attending community college for your AA degree for a more affordable education.
It's in no way too early to conserve for the future. Even when you might have just graduated from college, starting a little monthly financial savings system will add up more than the years. Small monthly deposits to a retirement account compound much more more than 40 years than bigger amounts can over 10 years, and have the further benefit that you just are utilized to living on less than your total income.
There are tremendous advantages you'll expertise once you apply what you know about scholarships for teachers. What you do with this data is totally up to you, but we hope that it does not just gather dust in your head.
Hoping won't get it completed, and we know you comprehend that; but then again numerous folks do however that is certainly all they do. There is certainly truly a form of momentum in our lives, and also the difficult component for most is just basically obtaining began.
Everyone using a want to know this data can do something with it, just make certain you're one particular who does. We are about halfway there, so let's press ahead and discover some much more. Commence saving money for your children's college education as soon as they may be born. College is a quite large expense, but by saving a small amount of cash each month for 18 years it is possible to spread the cost. Even if you kids don't visit college the money saved can still be utilised towards their future.
A student should often take into account every single selection ahead of taking out a student loan. Grants, scholarships, and savings funds may be fantastic ways to pay for college. Student loans will saddle you with debt and can cause a shaky economic future, really should you default. Program ahead and pay for college wisely.
If you are a student seeking to start off college, you should attempt as tough as you are able to to steer clear of student loans. Your private finances will by no means be exactly the same with this debt looming more than your head. Constantly take a look at grants as opposed to loans. You won't have to repay these. And though it may possibly put a strain on you, you might often work and pay your way through school. It's greater than being 200k in debt if you enter the workforce.
Getting a college education is among the greatest investments you'll be able to make. An education will pay for itself and give you lifelong expertise it is possible to use to earn a living. Reports show that those having a bachelors degree, earn nearly double of those that only have a high school diploma.
When you have young children and you're organizing on sending them to college, it finest that you simply commence saving funds as soon as they born. College is high-priced and by waiting to conserve cash till your child's teenager years, chances care you'll not enough to send them to college.
In case you are below 21 and want a credit card, be conscious that the guidelines have altered in latest years. Inside the past, cards were given to college age college students freely. Now, you should have provable earnings or have a cosigner. Research the specifications for a particular card before applying.
To conserve on college costs, strongly contemplate enrollment at a local community college for the first two years and after that transfer to a four-year institution for your final two years. With annual tuition expense financial savings of 50% or a lot more more than traditional four-year universities, going to a community college for your initial two years can make a complete lot of sense. Numerous community colleges have direct transfer programs to four-year institutions that guarantee the relevance of the credits you've earned towards your degree. You are going to get the exact very same diploma and credentials at the finish with the 4 years, as your classmates who attended the four-year university straight-through, but your fees (and achievable debt) is going to be so considerably less.
Be prepared to put yourself first with regards to your finances. This may well mean saving for retirement instead of funding your child's college account. It could also mean asking for a raise, even if you don't assume the business can afford it. Men and women who put themselves very first set themselves up for achievement.
Despite the fact that a few of these ways to keep your personal finances beneath manage could be challenging to truly total, it's important that you simply look past the instant discomfort of saving income. This really is given that, the discomfort of saving money is undoubtedly outweighed by the satisfaction of having the money readily readily available when it really is genuinely necessary.
One particular will not must appear far to determine how expansive the influence of career colleges of america genuinely is. But just avoid the thought that a thing is lacking in you if you had been caught off guard when this arrived on your doorstep.
Just discover what you'll be able to about it, and after that try not to create too numerous assumptions about something. We are far more reactive to issues simply because we are likely to wait till it is happening, and there is certainly much less believed about preventing some thing. That truly is accurate pretty considerably across the board, and it is only right after something starts happening that we begin considering it. Be that as it might, there's by no means anything wrong with just becoming informed and taking whatever measures that happen to be essential or represent common sense.

Boys suffer poor body image, say teachers
Boys increasingly have low self-esteem about their body image, teachers warn.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers claims the promotion of ideal body images is reducing both boys' and girls' confidence in their own bodies.
Last year, the All Party Parliamentary Group on Body Image recommended all children took part in compulsory body image and self-esteem lessons.
The union will discuss the issue of body image among pupils at its annual conference in Liverpool next week.
In a survey of 693 members across the UK, the union found 78% thought girls suffered low self-esteem and 51% thought boys had low confidence in their body image.
In addition, 59% of staff said that worries about body image made female pupils anxious and 30% said it caused anxiety in male pupils.
Some 55% said that girls were "ultra-sensitive" to comments about their appearance and 27% said boys took comments to heart.
Pressure to achieve the perfect body meant girls were likely to go on a diet, according to 54% of staff and boys were prone to start excessive exercise regimes, said 30% of those surveyed.
Asked where the pressure came from, 94% of those surveyed said they believed the media, including television, magazines, music videos, adverts and social media was the biggest influence on female pupils and also on male pupils (68%).
Peers of the same sex were also highlighted as a key cause of pressure on female pupils to look good by 83% of respondents and on male pupils by 54%.
A teacher at a secondary academy in Wandsworth, London, said: "I find that boys who are shorter than their peers are extremely sensitive and manifest either disruptive behaviour or are very withdrawn."
One early years teacher in England said: "I work with four to five-year-olds and some say things like, 'I can't eat cheese, it will make me fat!'"
A teacher at a secondary school in Northern Ireland said: "In my year 11 GCSE English class, the girls all openly admitted to feeling pressure about body image and many of the boys confessed to it too, although they said that usually they wouldn't admit to it affecting them.
A head of department at a secondary school in Exeter said: "Digital and social media are a nightmare with 'anonymous' sites that slate students in the most appalling terms on their appearance, personality and anything judge-able."
"Despite knowing about airbrushing, the girls still feel the need to aspire to unrealistic notions of beauty."
'Tremendous pressure'
Association of Teachers and Lecturers general secretary Mary Bousted said: "Young people are under tremendous pressure to have or maintain often unrealistic body images portrayed in the media.
"ATL members report that this not only impacts on female pupils but increasingly leads to low self-esteem, lack of confidence and anxiety in male pupils too.
"With academic and other social pressures, young people already have enough to deal with."
Last November, Central YMCA Qualifications announced plans for a UK qualification in body image.
The award - body image and the relationship to well-being - will cover topics such as body image in the media, self-esteem, diet and exercise and aims to help young people aged 11 to 14 build a more positive body image.
It is hoped the qualification - currently with the exams regulator, Ofqual, for approval - will be rolled out in secondary schools in the UK from next year, possibly as part of PSHE (personal, social and health education) or free study periods.

text: NEW YORK -- Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo has been suspended again, with coach Doc Rivers wondering if its as much for Rondos reputation as the incident. Rondo was banned one game without pay Monday for making contact with a referee and failure to co-operate with an NBA investigation. With 3:19 remaining in the third quarter of the Celtics 89-81 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, Rondo was called for an offensive foul on a drive to the basket. He went up to referee Rodney Mott and bumped into him as the two walked back up the court. Rondo missed the Celtics game against the New York Knicks. "I saw it when it happened. I didnt think anything of it honestly, and obviously the officials didnt either, they didnt call a tech," Rivers said before the game. "But you know the old saying is youre not given a reputation, you earn one, and Im sure that had a lot to do with it as well." Rondo was suspended in November for two games for shoving Brooklyn Nets forward Kris Humphries, and drew a suspension during last years playoffs for bumping a referee. Rivers said Rondo has to improve his reputation within the league. "We just work on it, every day," he said. "Hes going to play a long time and he has a lot of time to change it." Rivers said Rondo had a brief conversation with a league official, and wasnt sure how much that contributed to the decision to suspend. "Usually when they call, it usually means the decisions made pretty much for the most part," Rivers said. "But listen, all of it is disappointing."

Frances Paire, who was playing his first ever ATP final after upsetting top-seeded Pablo Andujar of Spain, got off to a bright start and earned an early break.SACRAMENTO, Calif. - After three straight road losses to open the season, the Sacramento Kings are back home, where a sign in their locker room reminds them not to panic: "Relax, its only November." November might turn out to be a pleasant month after all for the young Kings, who demonstrated no panic Wednesday night in winning their second straight tight game. DeMarcus Cousins had 21 points and 11 rebounds to help Sacramento hold off the winless Detroit Pistons for a 105-103 victory. A year ago, in a shortened NBA season, the Kings opened 4-10 and never got themselves headed in a positive direction. That cost coach Paul Westphal his job early in the season and the Kings finished 22-44 overall after Keith Smart took over. Smart has posted positive reminders throughout the locker room, and the "relax" sign resonates with second-year point guard Isaiah Thomas. "When we started 0-3 it was a reminder for us to relax," said Thomas, who was one of seven Kings in double figures with 15 points. "Its relax if youre playing, relax if youre not. It refers to everything were doing as a team." The Kings did enough right in the fourth quarter to hold off the Pistons, who are in the midst of a six-game road trip and were desperate for a win. Despite being outscored 32-26 in the fourth, the Kings made some big plays and big shots when they were needed. Smart went with a small three-guard set for part of the fourth quarter and it worked out well. Former BYU star Jimmer Fredette was especially effective, scoring seven of his 12 points in the fourth. He went 4 of 4 on free throws, with the last two giving the Kings a four-point lead. "Jimmer stays ready all the time, so we try to find the right situation for him," Smart said. "He came in and made some big plays for us tonight." Overlooked somewhat in the fourth quarter was the effectiveness of Cousins, who was playing despite a sore shoulder after a hard flagrant foul in the second by Jason Maxiell. In a battle all game with Pistons centre Greg Monroe, Cousins had eight points and four rebounds in the final period. Cousins was much more pleased with the victory than his second straight double-double. "Its a new year, a new team — were not concerned about last year," he said. "It feels good to have some momentum. Were trying to change things around in Sacramento." The Kings took the lead for good early in the second quarter. Strong bench play and the inside game of Cousins proved pivotal in the fourth when the lead was cut to one basket several times. Monroe had his first triple-double with 21 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists for the Pistons, who fell to 0-5. Brandon Knight made five 3-pointers and scored 21 points. Will Bynum had 14 points, and Kyle Singler added 12. "Ive been playing against him (Monroe) for a long time," Cousins said. "Our games are very similar. Were not athletic or flashy, but we get the job done. Hes an awesome player and doesnt get the credit he deserves." Knight took a pass from Monroe and made a 3-pointter, pulling Detroit to 102-100 with 23.dddddddddddd3 seconds left. It was the 10th assist for Monroe, who became the first NBA player this season to record a triple-double. Jimmer Fredette made two free throws and Cousins hit another to give Sacramento a 105-100 cushion with 10 seconds to go. Rodney Stuckey hit a 3-pointer as time expired. "They just came up with more plays than we did," said Singler, who had seven points in the fourth. "We just werent able to convert and get stops. They hit a couple of big shots and they were able to win." Tyreke Evans and Isaiah Thomas both had 15 points for the Kings (2-3), who had lost five straight to Detroit. Jason Thompson scored 13 points and Fredette had 12. After Knights 3-pointer and a free throw by Singler cut the Kings lead to a basket, Marcus Thornton responded with a 3-pointer to put Sacramento ahead 100-95 with 1:134 left. Leading by three, the Kings scored six straight to build a 90-81 advantage. Cousins had the first three points and Fredette followed with a long 3-pointer. "I feel a lot more comfortable this year than I did as a rookie, and I think it shows," Fredette said. "I got to really enjoy the moment tonight." Kings rookie forward Thomas Robinson hit Jonas Jerebko with a vicious elbow, knocking him to the floor early in the fourth quarter. Robinson was promptly ejected from the game. "It was just in the heat of the game," Jerebko said. "Im all right and its all good. I have nothing against him. I have no problem at all." Following a quiet first half, Evans got going in the third quarter, thanks to several twisting drives to the basket in traffic. He had 11 points in the period and the Kings took a 79-71 lead into the fourth. The early struggles continued for Stuckey, who last season averaged 35.5 points in two games against the Kings. Stuckey opened the season shooting 1 of 23 in the first three games. He had five points against Sacramento, going 2 for 6 in 34 minutes. Pistons coach Lawrence Frank wasnt concerned afterward about his teams offence. Detroit shot 49 per cent, made eight 3-pointers and broke 100 points for the first time this season. "Until we have a defensive mindset, its going to be very hard for us to win," Frank said. "We have to commit. Every guy that steps on the floor has to defend. Its a simple formula, but hard to do." Thomas scored 12 points and Cousins had 10 to help the Kings take a 55-46 lead into halftime. Led by the strong play of its bench, Sacramento outscored the Pistons 29-19 in the second quarter. Monroe had 10 first-half points for Detroit. NOTES: Thomas made two 3s and scored 12 first-quarter points for the Kings, who trailed 27-26. ... The Kings have assigned second-year forward Tyler Honeycutt to the Reno Bighorns of the NBA D-League. He played in only 15 games a season ago and, after missing the preseason with an injury, has yet to see any action through the teams first five games. ... Maxiell had 10 points and six rebounds. ... The hustling Robinson had seven rebounds in 12 minutes. ' ' '

New Heat Pump Water Heater
A proven energy-saverBy Lisa Taylor-Galizia
Joy Williams and family have cut their electric bill in half since they moved from a drafty apartment into a 1,200-square-foot Energy Star home, with a piece of their energy savings attributed to their highly efficient heat pump water heater.
Their house, built by Crystal Coast Habitat for Humanity in October 2010, is equipped with a General Electric Hybrid Water Heater that Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative donated. CCEC marketing specialist Richard Tuttle routinely reads the separate meter installed on the unit when it was put in place.
"We didn't know how well it would do going into the project," he said. "We were looking to validate the manufacturer's performance information. We have actually seen it outperform the manufacturer's estimated energy efficiency."
The unit, which is in a hallway closet, makes a low humming noise when it's running, but with the louvered doors closed, the sound is barely noticeable. The thermostat is set at 120 degrees, and the unit is set to "hybrid" mode.
"It's wonderful," said Mrs. Williams, who only has to remember to keep the filter clean. And since the unit is next to the washer and dryer, remembering to do that is easy.
Not only has the energy-efficient home helped cut expenses, Mrs. Williams said, she and her three children have become much more energy-conscious, turning out lights and electronics when they leave a room and limiting time in the shower. Light fixtures are all fitted with CFLs, and the house has a sealed crawlspace.
Cutting in half an electric bill that once ran about $200 a month puts a lot of extra money back into a household that is used to operating on a tight budget.
While the tank section of the unit is not much different than a traditional water heater, what's different about the hybrid unit is that it has a compressor and evaporator integrated into the top of the unit to draw ambient heat in from the surrounding space using two variable speed fans. Coils wrap the internal tank all the way to the bottom and transfer this heat into the tank, heating the water.
The water heater has five distinct operating modes, but except for a brief period during CCEC's testing phase, the unit at the Williams' home is best suited for hybrid mode because of the number of people in the household.
Water heater settings
"E-heat": In this mode, the water heater will only operate the heat pump to recover the water temperature. This is the most efficient mode, as the traditional electric heating elements are never used.
Hybrid: In hybrid setting, the unit will use the heat pump first and foremost as its main way to heat the water. If and when a faster recovery time of the water temperature is needed, the internal elements will alternate to provide a quick temperature recovery. When the system determines its demand need has been met, it will automatically revert back to using the heat pump.
High Demand: This is a great feature to use if you have additional people staying at your house for a weekend. This mode operates very similar to hybrid mode; however you are letting the system know in advance that it will be experiencing a larger water demand than usual. The water heater will be faster to react to temperature recovery by cycling on the heating elements sooner and longer.
Standard: In this mode, the heat pump will be shut off and the system will work exactly like a standard water heater, using only the electric elements to heat water.
Another feature Mrs. Williams likes is the ability to shut off the unit with the push of the "vacation mode" button if the family is going to be away from home for a time.
Additionally, it has an error code display that will let the homeowner know if the unit fails for any reason. "All the homeowner has to do is call a 1-800 number for help," Tuttle said.
While a heat pump water heater is more costly to purchase than traditional units, tax credits and other incentives, such as CCEC's rebate program, can make the investment worthwhile.
For more information about heat pump water heaters, visit www.energysavers.gov. To look at units, visit a home improvement or plumbing supply store. You can also ask a plumber who has experience installing them.

Asus will launch a netbook based on ARM chippery during Q1 2010, the company's CEO, Jerry Shen, promised this week.
Details are thin on the ground - we hope to learn more at Asus' annual R&D shindig in Taipei next week - but Shen did say the price could be as low as TWD6000 (£112/$185/€125), according to a write-up by Chinese-language site China Times.
Don't expect to pay as little as that here - there'll be 17.5 per cent VAT to add at the very least, unless Alistair Darling extends the 15 per cent period - but it should still appeal to punters who think netbooks should be as cheap as chips.
ARM-full: Android-based netbook and friend
Shen said the ARM netbook could meet or exceed the success Asus has had with the Eee PC family.
If so, he's changed his tune. In August, Shen said he couldn't see "a clear market" for ARM-based netbooks, even though the company showed off just such a machine at the Computex show in June.
The demo model, an Eee PC 1008HA, was seen running Android. Whether the one coming out in Q1 2010 will too remains to be seen. Shen doesn't appear to have addressed that point. ®
