Quick Take: Are you trying to rethink your energy storage strategy? I hope so, since there is more and more evidence grid-scale batteries will soon be cost effective. And since more and more utilities' regulators are requiring energy storage.
The joint venture will use Sony's lithium-ion batteries, plus its modular systems and control technologies. It will use Hydro-Québec's grid operation and control technologies. The companies are aiming at large-scale applications, such as satisfying peak-time demand at substations and buffering the variability of renewable energy sources. – Jesse Berst
Sony and Hydro-Québec Announce the Establishment of a Joint Venture to Start Development of a Large-Scale Energy Storage System for Power Grids

"I am confident that through our partnership with Hydro-Québec, which possesses deep knowledge of lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, we will be able to develop an optimum large-scale energy storage system to meet the demands of customers.

Comment from Élie Saheb, Executive Vice President - Technology, Hydro-Québec
"We are delighted to be working with Sony, a pioneer in lithium ion batteries. By combining Hydro-Québec's experience in electricity systems and its R&D work in energy storage with Sony's expertise in lithium-ion battery production, we are creating a world-class joint venture with the necessary expertise to manage the R&D of batteries for renewable energy storage (solar and wind) and the smart grid."

"I used this invitation for a baby boy shower. It was even cuter in person than online. The quality is exceptional and they arrived sooner than planned. The new mom said it was adorable! Very happy with them. Will definitely use Tiny Prints again."
"These cards are great quality. The paper stock is good and the colors are beautiful. They are unique in design and beautifully printed. I am extremely pleased."
"Somehow I overlooked the fact that the time was missing from my finished product. The order was supposedly checked by "Design Review." The time is listed on the RSVP site, but not on the invitation that was mailed to guests. So embarrassing!"
"Loved the invitation! Beautiful, better than I expected, colors & text were great and the weight of the paper was perfect! I would highly recommend this product!"
"I was able to add a message on the back of the card which I was very happy about. The card stock is just perfect. I could not have been happier with the product."

January 21, 1983
Place of Birth
Bellator 123 is over, and Bobby Lashley has another win in his MMA career now. The TNA World Heavyweight Champion successfully defeated Josh Burns via submission. The win took place about a minute into the second round when Lashley was able to lock on a rear naked choke hold. The victory is expected to be heavily hyped up by TNA to bring a little more credibility to their championship.
September 6, 2014
WWE wanted to create a buzz for Rosa Mendes and the upcoming season of Total Divas, and it looks like the company has accomplished that. Fans are talking about the preview clip where Rosa is naked on one of the episodes. She is in a hotel room, and Natalya Neidhart walks in on her. Obviously, the network won't be showing her fully nude, but it's enough to pique interest in the show.
September 5, 2014
While he is already revered by WWE fans, Daniel Bryan has now become a real life hero. The former world heavyweight champion and Brie Bella were coming home when they noticed that their front door was open. Upon realizing that they were being burglarized, Bryan immediately pursued one of the thieves and put him into a rear naked choke before police officers arrived on the scene to arrest him.
July 26, 2014
An interesting story is taking place right now, as several naked photos of Lana have surfaced online. Many are curious to see how WWE reacts to them. These pictures were taken before she joined the company, and the belief is that management is already aware of them. However, now that WWE fans are finding the naked images online, something might happen backstage.
May 21, 2014
A website called New Mature Tube has been trying to lure professional wrestling fans by promising naked videos and pictures of Beulah McGillicutty online. While the former ECW star has posed naked before, the site is actually using a strip tease video of a porn star instead.
May 13, 2014
As the naked picture of Lana is being spread around the internet, rumors are running rampant by WWE fans who have not seen the picture of the diva. Speculations are spreading wildly. The picture is from awhile back, well before Lana signed a developmental contract with WWE. While she does not have any clothes on in the picture, she is not completely nude.
May 6, 2014
Several websites have recently been trying to capitalize on the absence of AJ Lee by promoting the fact that they have nude pictures of the WWE diva. Since she has remained relatively quiet since taking a break from the company, her fans have grown a bit restless, so they have been seeking out such things online. There are no naked pictures of AJ floating around.
May 5, 2014
A topless picture of Lana that is almost a naked one because her see through panties do not leave much room for the imagination. The WWE diva was sporting brown hair back then.
April 21, 2014
Since she is becoming more known to the WWE universe, developmental diva Paige has become quite the target for male fans who want to see more of her naked body. Unfortunately, though, there are none of those available online. Paige is quite young and has been smart enough to avoid posing nude. This bikini picture is the closest that you're going to get to that.
March 26, 2014
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
A website called Fooxy Babes has been trying to capitalize on the rising popularity of Paige, a developmental diva who is expected to be called up to the main roster in WWE very soon. They are promoting that they have naked pictures of Paige, but that is not the case. They simply have porn stars named Paige on the website. While they are nice to look at, none of them include naked photos of Paige, the wrestler.
March 24, 2014
Since she is easily one of the hottest performers in all of professional wrestling, fans have been seeking out naked photos of Velvet Sky for quite some time now. She has never been completely shot in the buff before, but this picture of her wearing just a championship belt is the closet we will get to see the TNA knockout without any clothes on.
March 23, 2014
There are rumors of naked Stephanie McMahon pictures floating around the internet, but that is not the case. It is a hoax by Break.com, which utilizes her name to lure in WWE fans to their website. The photos being shown on their pages are that of Stephanie Eve.
March 23, 2014
There are rumors floating around that naked photos of Naomi Knight exists on the internet. The source of those speculations stem from a website called Tube Library, which attempts to draw in traffic from wrestling fans looking for naked pictures and videos of WWE divas. None of the content on there are legitimate.
March 22, 2014
A picture of Madison Rayne in her panties, and it looks like the TNA Knockouts Champion is about to get naked. Unfortunately, though, it's just a tease, as Madison is a mother now, so no such photos will be taken.
March 21, 2014
A porn message board is claiming to have naked pictures of Eva Marie, but it is actually just a hoax to generate traffic from WWE fans who want to see more of the diva. There are no nudity in the pictures, but there are some hot images of Eva Marie, including this picture of her wearing a very skimpy thong.
March 20, 2014
Since she is unlikely to show up naked in Playboy magazine anytime soon, wrestling fans have flocked online to see if they can find a wardrobe malfunction video, in order to get more of a glimpse of Summer Rae. This clip, which barely shows her purple thong, has proven to be a highly viewed video on YouTube.
March 20, 2014
A naked picture of Stacy Keibler has surfaced online, and it has caused a lot of fans to speculate on the validity of the image. After further examination, the photo is a fake. Someone took the face of the former WWE diva and pasted her on a girl with no clothes. While the edit is quite hot and appealing, it definitely not Stacy.
March 20, 2014
As many already now by now, Tammy Sytch has been selling naked pictures of herself to fans who are willing to spend $40 to see them. However, word going around is that she is not generating a lot of sales, as people are simply going online to find readily available nude photos of her. The former WWE diva is said to have fallen on hard times.
March 18, 2014
A picture of Kaitlyn in a black thong. The former Divas champion had these taken before she became a star in WWE, as the company now has a policy against girls posing nude, naked or topless. Since Kaitly is no longer with WWE, there is a chance that she could opt to do such photo shoots, but it appears unlikely as she is getting married soon.
March 16, 2014
There's been quite a bit of speculation this week about former divas returning to WWE. The latest name on the rumor mill is Maryse Ouellet. A big part of that is because the Miz mentioned the possibility on Twitter. There are those that believe that Maryse could be interested in a return, if it meant that she would get a spot on Total Divas. The exposure could help her business ventures exponentially.
November 18, 2014
Chris Jericho and Fozzy performed a concert at the world famous Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood last night. He was not the only WWE performer in the building. Miz and his wife Maryse Ouellet, a former diva, were in attendance as guests of Jericho. The concert was just a one time thing, and Jericho is expected to be back on the road with WWE soon.
July 25, 2014
A picture of former WWE diva Maryse Ouellet wearing a tan bikini and showing off her tremendous body.
July 24, 2014

June 15, 2014
A picture of Lita and Maryse Ouellet wearing matching red dresses during Wrestlemania 30 weekend.
April 22, 2014
A picture of Maryse Ouellet having some dinner with Kelly Kelly. Despite not showing much skin here, the two of them look especially hot. The former WWE divas have maintained a friendship since leaving the company.
April 21, 2014
This appears to be quite the year for divas getting married. First, Maryse Ouellet married her longtime boyfriend and WWE star Miz. Then, Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan tie the knot at a ceremony that will be shown on Total Divas. Over the weekend, Eve Torres married Rener Gracie. One of the reasons why Eve left WWE was to be able to spend more time with him.
April 13, 2014
A picture of Maryse Ouellet and Maria Kanellis in their sexy dresses at WrestleCon in New Orleans. Maryse is expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 this weekend, while Maria is still an uncertainty.
April 6, 2014
Since she is in New Orleans this weekend for WrestleCon, Maryse Ouellet is also expected to be backstage at Wrestlemania 30 to support her husband Miz. The belief is that WWE officials will gauge her interest in making a return to the company now that she is done planning her big wedding. Maryse is said to be less resistant towards coming back lately.
April 4, 2014
Now that her big wedding is over and done with, there are talks of WWE bringing Maryse Ouellet back. The company was interested in having her make a return earlier, but she politely declined, as she was preparing for her big event with the Miz and focusing on her business. A comeback could take place as soon as the couple settles into a new home.
March 22, 2014
After getting married to the lovely Maryse Ouellet in the Bahamas, the Miz opted to skip his honeymoon and head to Minnesota to work the kickoff show panel for Elimination Chamber 2014. It was a rather interesting move, as many felt that he could have been given the time off to celebrate his nuptials because of his limited role on the pay per view.
February 27, 2014
Since so many guys have been gawking over Maryse Ouellet for the last several years, it's only natural to wonder what her sister looks like. We now know that as the former WWE diva posted this very picture of herself and her sibling.
February 26, 2014
A picture of Maryse Ouellet in her wedding dress. The former WWE star married the Miz in the Bahamas over the weekend.
February 23, 2014
As expected, several current and former WWE stars were in attendance at the wedding of Miz and Maryse Ouellet this week. The confirmed attendees thus far include John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler, Zack Ryder and Kelly Kelly. A lot of the female performers were forced to miss the event since they were in Mexico, filming Total Divas.
February 22, 2014
Through Twitter, Kelly Kelly posted this amazing picture of her ass to let fans know that she is enjoying herself in the Bahamas, where she will be attending the wedding of Miz and Maryse Ouellet this upcoming weekend.
February 21, 2014
This picture of Miz and Maryse Ouellet, who happens to be wearing a stunning and skin tight red dress, at the Hall of Game Awards has surfaced on Twitter.
February 18, 2014
As many of you already know, Miz is getting married to Maryse Ouellet in a couple of days, but he had one more assignment to complete for WWE. He had to represent the company at the Hall of Game Awards, and he brought along his lovely bride to be with him. Management also sent Alicia Fox to the event as well.
February 18, 2014
Several former and current WWE stars are expected to attend the wedding of Maryse Ouellet and Miz this month in the Bahamas. One of those attendees should be Kelly Kelly, as she has kept a very close friendship with Maryse since both left the company.
February 6, 2014
It was revealed recently that Miz and Maryse Ouellet were getting married in February, but we now have an actual wedding date. The event will be taking place on February 20 in the Bahamas. Several current and former WWE stars are expected to attend.
February 6, 2014
Since his wedding to Maryse Ouellet is taking place later on this month, there is a very good chance that the current story line for the Miz is a way to write him off of television. Though he hasn't been penciled in for a match at Wrestlemania 30 yet, he's expected to return by then.

Dude, Sweet Chocolate
I think they really need their own thread ...
The kitchen/shop is located in Bishop Arts, but a nice selection (depending on when you go) is sold at Avoca on Magnolia (indie restaurant row) in Fort Worth (a coffee house).
Tried FM 1410 (hope I'm remembering the number right) today, and it is quite, quite good. Sadly Avoca was sold out of my new favorite, blackstrap fudge.
November is the timeframe for the potential Dude, Sweet Chocolate expansion at Avoca.
I tried the iced mocha today (I think all their chocolate drinks are made with DSC chocolate, but I did not confirm this one)--it was forgettable.
Other memorable DSC items are the blue cheese fudge and the hot chocolate mix with housemade marshmallows. They now make other marshmallows, which I haven't tried yet.
I went to Lili's for dinner Sat. night. As we walked out, I looked across the street at Avoca and languished briefly over the molasses fudge. Now this post makes me wish I'd given in to temptation! Like you said.... I'm going to have to make a trip to BA.
This place was jam packed mid-afternoon today!! Great for them! but I'll look forward to going back on a less busy weekday. I was surprised at the no-frills design and staging - no displays.
Just wanted to note that the 'kiosk' (mini store) at Avoca is open as of yesterday. Also wanted to recommend the new Tahitian fudge (made with passionflower juice and coconut milk). It is sweeter than their usual offerings, unusual, and very good. It met my medicinal need for chocolate today :D It also met with approval from both dark chocolate lovers and haters.
re: CocoaNut
Just went to Avoca today and tried D, SC's blue cheese truffle. Wow! Distinctive flavor is absolutely right... would've paired better with a nice glass or red instead of the macchiato I had.
naturally i had to use google to find this thread ...
just wanted to mention i got the stingray fudge at cm tonite ... they have a new kiosk of DSC products, at least in fw. it is highly reminiscent of the blackstrap fudge that i believe can't be had any longer, though imo not quite as good ... nonetheless i'm a happy camper this evening. it's still a very good hit of chocolate, plus molassey, pecanny, rummy goodness. i think that's all the food groups right there.

Beautiful Covers: An Interview With Chip Kidd
The work of Chip Kidd spans design, writing and, most recently, rock 'n' roll. He definitely has the charisma to get ahead in that third field. He is best known for his unconventional book jackets, but he has published two novels of his own: The Learners and Τhe Cheese Monkeys. Uninterested in design trends and fashions, he often draws inspiration from collectibles and memorabilia. Kidd is now busy creating his masterpiece, a graphic novel born from his l...

BURLINGTON, N.C. - Come springtime, the Burlington Police Department will be significantly upgrading its in-car video system from outdated VHS technology to a digital system from Panasonic.
Presented by Capt. Eric Kerns at the city council retreat Thursday, the new Arbitrator system was chosen after reviewing six companies' digital in-car solutions. With its improved technology, the new system offers multiple benefits the current VHS system does not, Kerns said.
For 10 months, the Burlington Police Department collaborated with city of Burlington Information Technology and the Alamance County Sheriff's Office to decide on the best recording system to use. Kerns said a video recording system enhances officer safety, minimizes liability, provides visual documentation of encounters and thereby aids officers in courtroom testimonies.Mayor Pro Tem David Huffman agreed and said, "(The videos) back police officers up 99 percent of the time in the courtroom."

2010 Year in Review: Books
When country singer Chely Wright came out this year, it came accompanied by an album, Lifted Off the Ground, and memoir, Like Me. The book received fair reviews and was well-received by gay readers, but was also speculated to be one of the reason's Chely decided to come out, as it garnered her more publicity and more money. But fans stood by her, appreciating her bare-all approach and LGBT activism that has followed.
Stanford University professor/accomplished essayist Terry Castle's The Professor and Other Writings was one of Amazon's Top 10 Gay and Lesbian Books in 2010. The collection of essays includes Castle's witty reflections on her friendship with Susan Sontag, her tryst with her college professor, and other musings on pop culture.
New York Times food writer Kim Severson published Spoon Fed, a memoir about her life as a lesbian, foodie and recovering alcoholic. The poignant stories include lessons she's learned from famous female chefs, including Rachael Ray.
And while journalist Helena Andrews is not gay herself, her memoir Bitch is the New Black chronicled her life as a single black woman, including her relationship with her out lesbian mother. The book has been optioned to be made into a film by ShondaLand Productions (production company of Shonda Rhimes) in 2010, and Helena appeared with her mother on CNN to discuss issues related to gay parents and their children.
Several other great memoirs were published this year, including Hammer: Making Movies out of Sex and Life by Barbara Hammer; Girl in Need of a Tourniquet (Merri Lisa Johnson), She Looks Just Like You (Amie Klempnauer Miller), Missed Her by (Ivan Coyote) and From Robe to Robe (Martha E. Bellinger).
The Seal Press anthology Dear John I Love Jane struck a chord with women of all sexualities this year. The publisher also put out Gender Outlaws: The Next Generation, an updated version of the Kate Bornstein mainfesto but including younger voices and a co-editor, S.Bear Bergman; as well as Let's Get This Straight: The Ultimate Handbook for Youth with LGBTQ Parents from COLAGE and Tina Fakhrid-Deen. Sadly, that last book was never more desperately needed than in 2010.
And for comic lovers, The Art of Jaime Hernandez: The Secrets of Life and Death gives an inside look at the artist's conception of Love & Rockets and its lesbian character Hopey. The intro is provided by Alison Bechdel, who also wrote an essay for Travels in a Gay Nation. The book of travel writing featured several well-known and respected lesbians like Dorothy Allison, Tammy Baldwin, Lillian Faderman and Urvashi Vaid.
In music-related books, Girls to the Front, Sara Marcus' history of the riot grrrl movement and queer youth's involvement in it; and Pink Noises, essays from women (including a few lesbians) who work with electronic music and equipment, Todd Oldham's book all about Joan Jett and Best Music Writing 2010 including a piece on The Gossip from Michelle Tea.

Disney Dreams of a White Pocahontas?
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
The NAACP announced the nominees for their Image Awards last month, and lo and behold, the awards, which are dedicated to the "outstanding achievements and performances of people of color in the arts as well as those individuals or groups who promote social justice,†nominated Angeline Jolie for her role as Mariane Pearl in A Mighty Heart. When I heard about this I laughed out loud. I find it pathetically comical. Is it a sign of desperation? Are the pickings of performances by actual women of color so spare the NAACP had to celebrate a white woman for her brownface turn as Afro-Cuban and Dutch Pearl? Or is it a victory? A sign of our supposed "post-race†times that the NAACP feels free to anoint white-as-bread Angelina Jolie as a woman of color?
But the NAACP's not the only group with questionable decision-making. Check out these photos, just released by Disney as part of their 2008 "Year of a Million Dreams†campaign. They're part of a slew of others taken by famed fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz depicting, according to Disney's press release, "celebrities living out their fantasies by starring in Disney dream scenes.†Apparently, Jennifer Lopez and her husband Marc Anthony, both of Puerto Rican descent, wish they were Arab royalty. And Jessica Biel fancies herself as American Indian cultural broker Pocahontas.

Sir Paul McCartney revealed he felt moved by the crowds of people who camped out to see him play a free concert in Mexico, saying it brought back memories of Beatlemania.
The 69-year-old music star performed the special concert in Zocalo in Mexico City, as an estimated 250,000 people filled the square and lined the surrounding streets.
Sir Paul said: "It was quite emotional and exciting that people who might not be able to afford to come to our shows could come to this. It was like Beatlemania all over again.
"When you visit places that you don't often come to, like South America, they've been saving up the excitement so when you get there they let it all go."
During the show Paul was joined on stage by a traditional Mexican Mariachi band for a special version of Ob La Di Ob La Da.

English license group slammed
In 1994, the Advertiser published a nine-part series that pulled back the veil on the Southern Poverty Law Center and its charismatic leader, Morris Dees. In the series, which drew not only from the experiences of former staffers disillusioned by their time at the center but also from attorneys who had worked with Dees, he was described with such terms as phony, egotistical, ruthless, petty, and amoral. He was portrayed as a man motivated primarily by self-aggrandizement, "who carefully grooms his image to appeal to generous donors."76
The paper revealed that:

Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center. 60 Minutes contemplates investigating the background of Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center - talk to Dees' ex wife and daughter and others who know him. Talk to former employees and journalists who have investigated the Center. Explore their fundraising practices, including the "Expect More Bombs" direct mail campaign. Look at where center money comes from and where it goes. Do some digging on Dees - I suspect you will find a story.

This is an important issue with many, many facets. Yes, the legislation will ensure that all who want to drive and are granted the privilege to drive by virtue of the state, will be able to understand, read and speak English well enough to not endanger others.
I am not talking about knowing English so well that they are ready to be a professor in a university setting or recite the Gettysburg address. One great benefit from having to take the exam in English will ensure they will grasp English and truly be able to realize the American dream. Just as thousands of previous immigrants did decades ago.

Representatives, Senators and readers,
My friend who died as a proud American Marine sent me this one night shortly after he was deployed to Iraq.
He gave his life fighting for our country and it is my goal to honor him by fighting for our language as he fought for American values and freedom!
It is an honor to do my part for our brave men and women.

I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.
I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. — William Tyler Page
English license group slammed
I resent this reporter's assertion, implication, or suggestion that I support hate or racism because I choose to support HB 262.
As a young child, I endured being called names, I tolerated hatred from other kids because I was "darker' than they were, because my last name was Garcia, because I spoke Spanish and Italian IN ADDITION to English.
Because when my parents came to a school event or to a teacher conference, their English wasn't that good. Or because I had to be their translator.
I used all that to fuel my desire to learn more English and become better with the language. I also chose to use that to FUEL my knowledge of American history and be a better American!! After all, this was to be my new country, so why not take it seriously!!
Here is my personal position that no one has influenced, no one has put words in my mouth and no one has forced onto me.
I believe our government should implement a moratorium on immigration until such time that our government can get its arms around the unsecure borders, the fraud that permeates with passports, visas, and other methods of illegal entry into our country. It was a lax system that allowed terrorists into our country who killed over 3,000 innocent people in 9/11.
Other countries have serious and strict regulations as it relates to immigration.
So if you want to justify your position and ignore the reality and truth of where our country is right now as it relates to a disastrous and irreparable result of loose immigration laws by throwing out relations to hatred and using this questionable "poverty" advocacy group as a credible source, then I do feel for your aimless ways.
Our country deserves better. In addition to what is written at the feet of the statue of liberty:
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of you teamming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Perhaps a disclaimer should have also read:
Freedom, liberty, prosperity is not free. We welcome you to be free, but let it be known---work, blood, sweat and tears are a necessity.

Today, the SPLC spends most of its time--and money--on a relentless fund-raising campaign, peddling memberships in the church of tolerance with all the zeal of a circuit rider passing the collection plate. "He's the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of the civil rights movement," renowned anti- death-penalty lawyer Millard Farmer says of Dees, his former associate, "though I don!t mean to malign Jim and Tammy Faye."
The Center earned $44 million last year alone--$27 million from fund-raising and $17 million from stocks and other investments--but spent only $13 million on civil rights program , making it one of the most profitable charities in the country.
In the early 1960s, Morris Dees sat on the sidelines honing his direct-marketing skills and practicing law while the civil rights movement engulfed the South. "Morris and I...shared the overriding purpose of making a pile of money," recalls Dees's business partner, a lawyer named Millard Fuller (not to be confused with Millard Farmer). "We were not particular about how we did it; we just wanted to be independently rich."
The more money the SPLC receives, the less that goes to other civil rights organizations, many of which, including the NAACP, have struggled to stay out of bankruptcy.
Dees's compensation alone amounts to one quarter the annual budget of the Atlanta-based Southern Center for Human Rights, which handles several dozen death-penalty cases a year. "You are a fraud and a conman," the Southern Center's director, Stephen Bright, wrote in a 1996 letter to Dees, and proceeded to list his many reasons for thinking so, which included "your failure to respond to the most desperate needs of the poor and powerless despite your millions upon millions, your fund-raising techniques, the fact that you spend so much, accomplish so little, and promote yourself so shamelessly."
Soon the SPLC win move into a new six-story headquarters in downtown Montgomery, just across the street from its current headquarters, a building known locally as the Poverty Palace.

Home Alarm Reviews | In-Depth Home Alarm Company Reviews
Who We Are
We are a 3rd party service who researches, tests and reports on home security companies. We present our information to you and let you decide who the best company to use for your home protection is.
What We Do
Each home alarm company is put through our reviews standard and placed accordingly. We show you their: price, history, installation process, BBB rating, security equipment, home automation, mobile control and more.
Help You Decide
It can be confusing on who to choose or who has the best alarm system. We've made tools that make it easy for you to cross compare and decide. All information on our site is current as of 2014.
Companies Reviewed:
Starting at
$99 Installation
Founded in 1874 it is the brand trusted by millions. If you are not comfortable with installing an alarm system yourself we recommend ADT. With great basic packages, ADT will install it for you within 1-2 days.
Starting at
$0 Start Up Costs
No hidden fees and a solid 20+ year history, Protect America is the perfect choice. Free move with you service makes it a great choice for renters. Amazing customer support with 450,000+ customers.
Starting at
$149+ Activation
Founded in 1999 Vivint is the luxurious, show it off system. If you are wanting a basic security system go with someone else. If you want the latest and greatest Home Automation and energy savings choose Vivint.
Starting at
$99+ Starting Costs
So you saw a commercial and it's got you intrigued. XFINITY® security has a shorter history than most companies and is not a stand alone company such as ADT. Their security system is getting better reviews on customer support than the cable and internet program and have equipment unique to only them.
Starting at
$49.99 per month
$99+ Activation
Protection One sneaks in a decent number of residential customers. They are a great all around company yet not predominately known like ADT. What are you going to like about them? Getting an average deal with a good company that puts a lot of time and money into their customer support.
Starting at
$49+ Start Up Costs
LifeShield is a stellar company catering to renters and Home Owners alike. Founded in 2004, they created the truly first wireless security system. They provide professional installation if you do not want to install it yourself.
Starting at
$39-79 per month
$149+ Starting Costs
Majority of people will not have the option to get AT&T Digital life as it is a new service only available in a few states. They added it to their resume in April 2013 and have average (good and bad) reviews so far. Their equipment is very basic, you can find much better basic alarm systems with Protect America for a better price. You have to bundle the service with cable and can cost up to eighty dollars a month. You may want to wait a few more years for them to get everything straightened out before you try them.
Starting at
$34-54 per month
$99 Starting Costs
Monitronics lays low on the radar of home security companies yet they have a dominate presence. Their marketing is primarily done by Authorized dealers who typically sell under different names. Their equipment is top notch and they have re done their website and imaging to appeal to the younger crowd.
Starting at
$44-59 per month
$179+ Starting Costs
FrontPoint Security, still using a basic Simon XT Panel (it's not 1999 anymore!) and high costs makes you wonder why anyone chooses them. You have to put the system together yourself yet still pay $179+ for activation costs. You can go with any of our top companies and get more equipment and a professional installation for less money. Too many, they are the 'new cool company' located on the East coast but until they can prove a good track record and make sense of their high costs they are on the bottom of our totem pole.
Starting at
$34.99+ per month
$200+ Starting Costs
First off, if you don't have Time Warner security service or it isn't available in your area then skip this. For those customers already with Time Warner you will pay a higher starting costs for this add-on and not the best customer service. While nothing terribly bad stands out, there are much better deals, equipment and brands you can go with. Let your TV company be just that.

The St. Charles and Batavia markets were a test run to see if the farmers markets would be a good venue for getting information about FRRL and amateur radio to the public. Those who participated in these efforts agree that the club would benefit from continuing this activities next year.
Thanks to Dan and Harry, as well as to Kermit W9XA and Jeff N9JZN, for contributing their time and knowledge to this pilot program.

FRRL Featured on local TV station WSPY
FRRL President Dawn Williams, KC9LQS, is interviewed on the local TV station WSPY. Their program "Fox Valley Today" featured her discussion of Ham Radio and the Fox River Radio League's 90th year celebration.
(This is a delayed entry. The program originally aired on 7/8/14 )
FRRL participated at the Batavia Farmers Market today, the first event in the club's new outreach effort.
Working with me were Kermit W9XA, Jeff N9JZN, Dan WA9YKK and Jim N9XP. Kermit was kind enough to bring his mobile shack. Jeff N9JZN and I brought a screen tent with a simple HF station that operated W9O and provided demonstrations to visitors. We talked to several potential new hams and other visitors who found our display quite interesting. The morning was fun, gratifying, and definitely worth the effort.
These photos include one of Batavia Mayor Jeff Schielke with me when he stopped to visit our booth; Kermit, Jeff and Dan operating during the morning; a shot of the tent in full swing, with several visitors in attendance.
