KAUST commissioned Australia-based Urban Art Projects to design a contemporary lighthouse for the HOK-designed university, which was inaugurated back in 2009. Led by Daniel Tobin, Matthew Tobin and Jamie Perrow, they team came up with a soaring tower inspired by Arabic maritime traditions, regional artwork and architecture, and coral in the nearby Red Sea. The honeycomb pattern was created by using pre-cast concrete blocks to form a collection of hexagonal sections. Inside, the spacious interior atrium is daylight thanks to a dappled shading effect provided by the skin.
The building also works to naturally cool itself with the help of breezes and the stack effect, which draws hot air up and out while bringing cooler air in from the ocean. At night the tower is lit up from within and shines out through the honeycombs to act as a lighthouse for boats in the area. UAP was aided by Bureau^Proberts for architecture, Norman Disney & Young for lighting, and Robert Bird Group for engineering.

Wanted to let you all know that our son chose, First contact : scientific breakthroughs in the hunt for life beyond Earth to have me read each night. We are on the 5th night of reading and he seems to be enjoying it. Pretty dry expose on extremophile life on earth and the potential in space. Thanks to everyone for contributing and please keep those titles coming, we'll be looking for another title soon.
Each night before bed I read to my son and I was wondering if any one had some ideas about what to read next. The list of books we've read to date is generally non-fiction and tends toward science. Here a list of books I recall reading to him to give you an idea:
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Not to worry, we read lots of Garfield, Magic School Bus and other more kid oriented books during the day but not at bedtime.
asked Jun 13 '11 at 14:43
I don't know if you intend on continuing with the theme of non-fiction, but I really enjoyed A Short History of Pretty Much Everything by Bill Bryson.link
answered Jun 14 '11 at 06:40
We did "The Hobbit" earlier this year, six and a half year old boy. He really liked it, spoiled him for anything less literary but I suppose that's a good thing.
answered Jun 14 '11 at 08:21
Any of Bryson's would be great, but I think that you both might enjoy the Dangerous Book for Boys[1]link

They are sworn to uphold the law, and given stunning power over people's lives. But as charges of bias, corruption and incompetence erupt in headlines across the nation, the integrity of judges and the legal system is called into question.
Are bad judges the exception to the rule or do they represent serious flaws in the system?
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTS examines some of the most famous recent cases, including that of former New York State Chief Judge Sol Wachtler, who has become the symbol of judicial misconduct. In a rare interview, Wachtler tells his side of the story, while New York reporters and state officials trace the series of revelations that led to Wachtler's downfall.
See why it is so difficult for law enforcement to crack down on bad judges, and meet people who they have victimized. And in chilling interviews, officials from Americans for Legal Reform and The Center for Judicial Accountability reveal the shocking extent of this problem.
BAD JUDGEMENT asks a question that must be answered if the legal system is to survive who judges the judges?

Honda Accord Crosstour Lease Questions
Ask your Crosstour lease questions here!
Prices Paid, Lease Questions, SUVs
Hello lasvegasrph. Honda Finance's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Crosstour EX 2WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00137 and 63%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a '10 Crosstour EX-L 2WD are .00137 and 61%.
If you choose to go with a sign & drive lease, these cars' factors drop slightly to .00127.
I don't believe that Honda is currently providing any dealer cash on the Crosstour.
Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
drockhold Posts: 26I just leased a 2010 Honda Crosstour today from Alan Nott Honda in Lima, Ohio for my wife of 27 years. BTW-I love this website. I have used the information from this website for the last 5 car leases. Because of all the helpful tips and hints, I feel empowered before I start the negotiation process. My goal is to not "beat the dealer up" instead I want them to make a fair profit because I want no head aches or hassles IF an issue eve comes up. I also like the fact of free oil changes, valet service and a free loaner car. I figure "we" pay for it in some fashion. I was raised in the belief that ALL business is not obtained by price.
Here's the deal I agreed upon today.
2010 Honda Crosstour EX-L
All wheel drive
Navigation pkg.
36 months lease
12000 miles per year
Invoice $33514
Add-on for all Chrome Wheels $1200 (included in Lease)
Aquisition fee $595
Adjusted Cap Cost $37983
Residual Amount $22988
Money Factor .00137
Residual Pct. .607
Monthly Payment (includes tax) is $495.76
Amount Due at Lease inception is $734.76
(Amt due includes 1st months payment and doc fees, cap red and DMV fee)
Free oil changes and Valet Service
Free Loaner car for service and repair
I was told by the finance manager that the zero down and drive and sign money factor was .00127. However, he worked it both ways and the numbers showed me that Honda adjusts the cap cost to make up the difference. Actually, the difference comes out to approximately $5.88 per month and I'd rather get the free stuff and goodies as a trade off.
Regardless of semantics, my wife is happy as heck and if she's happy so am I.
The experience was outstanding. Thank you once again for the great website here!
car_buyer_68 Posts: 1So we just left the dealership without making a deal because we weren't 100% satisfied with it but I wanted to get some of your opinions...here is what was proposed...
36mo lease
Accord Crosstour EX-L 2wd (with everything but Nav)
Vehicle Price $33,280
61% Residual or $20,301
Mon Pymt incl taxes $487.20
Zero Down
Another piece of the puzzle is that the dealership is offering us $16,500 for our trade in.
I sure do, slc_nissan. Here you go. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour EX-L AWD without navigation through Honda Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00137 and 59%, respectively assuming that you qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
If you choose to go with a sign and drive lease with nothing due at signing, this vehicle's factor drops slightly to .00127.
The addition of navigation slices 2% off of this vehicle's residual value.

Vehicle Price $33,280

That seems high, what is the actual sale price of the vehicle. There are some who are getting 3-4K off MSRP. They aren't exactly flying off the lots.
Hi thedrake. Let's work up a sample lease payment on this car for you and see what we come up with.
According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour EX-L AWD with navigation that has an MSRP of $36,930 and a selling price of $34,000 (around $500 over invoice) through Honda Finance right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $411 assuming that you qualify for its top credit tier.
If we add the acquisition fee to this vehicle's capitalized cost, as one would have to do on a $0 $0 $0 $0 lease, the payment increases to around $428.

Hi J. Jones. Let's work up a sample payment for you and see what we come up with.

kean Posts: 11I'm Also looking for Accord CT EXL AWD.or with nav and so far one dealer give us $424/mo - $618due at signing and $497/mo - $691 due at signing respectively with 12k mi/yr. Everything included on these offer. Is it a good deal or I still wait from some other dealer. Problem was only this dealer emailed me back and some just want me to go to dealership.
ilana16 Posts: 4I am looking to lease a 2010 crosstour awd EX-L - NO Nav. My best offer at the moment is: $850 down (incl. tax), $324 fees due at signing, and 36 payments of $384 including tax. This is a 36 month 15K lease. Thoughts? Should I be able to get it better? This looks like a total over 36months of $14,998.
I really don't know how to use money factor or residual value in the negotiation.
Thanks for help in advance.
automiler Posts: 1I have 2 verbal estimates from 2 local dealers with FAR different pricing. Both were on a EX-L AWD non-nav. With $2000 down one quote was $370/mo and the other $460/mo (add tax to both). Something isn't right there. I would think they all pay the same. What is a good/fair price for a EX-L AWD at 12k miles per year and $0-2k down? Thanks.
Hi lfa1. The easiest way for me to evaluate specific leases is to look at the selling prices that were used to calculate their payments. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Without this number, it is difficult to tell how large a dealer discount one is being given and in turn if there is any room left to negotiate.
Let us know what this vehicle's selling price is and I'm sure that either myself or another helpful community member will gladly let you know what they think.

Hi datograph. Honda Finance's June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Crosstour EX-L 2WD with Navigation and 15,000 miles per year are .00158 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

I haven't seen anyone bring up the lease offer from Honda on a 2010 EX 2WD, $309.00 per month, 36 months, $2299.00 total payment due at signing.
I am trading in a 2007 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe lease for a new one.
A couple questions.....
Is there an easy way for me to firgure out the deal with less money down or if I wanted to add leather or nav?
Is there anything I need to watch for on the trade in? Can they rip me off somehow?
hondamax19 Posts: 1Hello Car_man,
Thanks for taking the time to answer all the questions you have been given. It is a great help. I just leased a 2010 Crosstour EX-L (no nav or real time awd). Under AHFC tier 1, what would be the approx. payment for sign and drive 36-12000 at invoice? 6% michigan sales tax, transfer plates. I have a feeling I am going to hate your answer as I thought I got a great deal. I believe they may have hidden extra finance charges (jacked the money factor up). My cap cost seemed correct. Finally, if you are in the business, what rights do I have to rescind? I just purchased Sat. night and they were shoving me into the car. He told me he was into hold back. I am paying $429 with tax but includes wheel locks, mud guards, and cargo tray (probably $300 in items). I greatly appreciate your response! Thanks again!!
I have been reading back in this thread and have noticed the lease prices all over the place. To try and simply this, could you possibly list the money factor and residual for the 2010 EX, EX-L, and EX-L w/ Nav all 2WD, 36 month. That should cover all 2 WD's. Is there a place to find these numbers or do we just ask for them here? Which one or both of the numbers change if you move from 12k to 15k miles? When figuring the down payment can you just divide it by 36 months and thats how much it affects the payment?

WASHINGTON - The D.C. area may have missed the year's big blizzard, but residents can still play in the snow this Presidents' Day weekend. Most ski trails are currently open at the area's local winter resorts.
Liberty Mountain has a snow base of over 20 inches and all of its trails are open. Most of the Wintergreen's 30-60 inch base mountain trails are open and Wisp Report in western Maryland is open, except for a few trails.

2014 Mazda6 gets up to 38 mpg, priced from $20,880*
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jan 3rd, 2013 at 1:28PM
The 2014 Mazda6 starts at $20,880 – *excluding a $795 destination fee – and will offer buyers up to 37 mpg highway in base form. That money will fetch buyers a 2.5-liter four-cylinder paired to a six-speed manual – a setup packing 184 horsepower and 185 pound-feet of torque. The Skyactiv powertrain is good, Mazda says, for 25 miles per gallon in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. Stepping up to the six-speed automatic gearbox will yield an additional 1 mpg in city and highway driving for up to 38 mpg highway. Despite offering more equipment, the base 2014 model carries a...

Download Threat Report 2014
Since our last report, malware and related IT security threats have grown and matured. Malicious code authors are far more adept at camouflaging their work—using the dark parts of the Internet—creating new threats that are smarter, shadier and stealthier.
Press Kit
Trends for 2014
In the past 12 months, infected networks of computers called botnets have become more widespread, resilient and camouflaged—and they're spreading dangerous new payloads like the nasty Cryptolocker ransomware.
From penny stock pump-and-dump schemes to natural weight loss scams, some spam just never goes away. In 2013, distributed networks of servers helped keep spam under the radar of filters, a technique called "snowshoe spamming."
The masters of the ZeroAccess botnet for a short time in 2013 used its computing power to create (or mine) bitcoins, the virtual currency.
Android malware continues to grow and evolve. Ransomware, which has long plagued Windows systems, for the first time in 2013 began infecting smartphones and other Android devices.
Starting in April 2014, Microsoft will offer no new patches for Windows XP and Office 2003. Meanwhile, Windows patching has emerged as a significant issue in specialized markets such as point-of-sale (POS) and medical equipment.
In the past year, dangerous, difficult-to-detect web server attacks by Darkleech and exploit kits like Redkit have been responsible for more drive-by download attacks against vulnerable web users.
We are seeing more advanced persistent threats (APTs)—persistent, targeted, hard-to-detect attacks—aimed at compromising financial accounts.
Mac malware is becoming more widespread, with new versions of Mac Trojans, adware and ransomware emerging in 2013.
Linux servers are widely used to run websites and deliver web content, making them and the software running on them prime targets of attack.
As malware attacks grow increasingly complex and elusive, security companies must respond with greater intelligence, flexibility and speed. SophosLabs is doing just that.

Comments about Patagonia Barely Hipster (Women's):
I had purchased a pair of womens hipster briefs, and liked them so much I wanted to buy more, but they were out of stock, so I bought the barely hipsters briefs instead, and they are wonderful, even better than the original hipster! They have the same cut, but are lighter weight, and seem to wick moisture a little better. I would highly recommend.

Comments about Patagonia Barely Hipster (Women's):
I absolutely love Patagonia underwear and have several pair. They seem to hold up well (I wear them exclusively), and are super light and comfortable. I insist on these, as I live in Florida where its constantly hot and muggy, and these not only seem to hold up well not making me all clammy down there but they also don't ride up or look bunchy under form fitting clothes. Highly recommend.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

These tremendously intelligent dogs originated in the border counties between England and Scotland. They are extremely eager to please, quick to learn, and sensitive to commands. Therefore, they are also very easy to train. However, training should include constant exercise and mental stimulation or Border Collies will find their own entertaining activities. Because of their extreme intelligence, these activities may become destructive,
and any training you provide must be consistent and thorough.

|Overbought/Oversold Indicators
Overbought/Oversold Indicators - Stochastics & Williams' %R
Please note that we have used historical data. These examples are for educational purposes only.
The concept of overbought and oversold is an important one if you want to learn to time the markets accurately. The notion is that the price quickly becomes imbalanced if it moves too quickly or too far in one direction or the other.
Larry Williams, a well-respected commodity trader, once wrote, "For my money, the technical theory of most value and validity is the concept of overbought/oversold."
The Stochastics indicator is a versatile tool for tracking the overbought/oversold markets and one of the best indicators for catching price reversals (particularly in combination with another indicator such as MACD.
Larry Williams developed a variation of the Stochastics Indicator which he called the % R. He originally developed it for trading commodities but it has since become a favorite tool for many stock traders as well. In my experience, the Williams %R indicator has an amazing ability to catch each and every meaningful reversal point, if properly applied!
CURRENT TRENDS - Learning from the S&P using Williams %R
The S&P 500 index, like most of the other major indices, has been in a volatile sideways trading range for a year now. Choppy markets with big swings are usually difficult ones to trade because entry and exit points are hard to identify. A good solution? - Stochastics and Williams %R. These two indicators will provide you with reliable signals even in a choppy market. Let's take a look at the S&P 500 using Williams %R to shed some light...
Here's a chart showing the market action in the S&P 500 over the last year. I've plotted a few simple trend lines to highlight the mid- to long-term trends over that period. You can see that the overall trend has been upwards and sideways, with lots of dips and bumps along the way. The 20 and 50-day Moving Averages are also plotted.
At first these charts may appear almost overwhelming. There's no clear pattern developing, the markets are whip lashing all over the place.
Pull up a stump and take a closer look at the Williams %R indicator. Williams originally wrote, "...readings below 95% give a buy indication - during bull markets. A reading above 10% gives a sell signal during bear markets." To this I would add - wait for the %R to hit 99-100% (the bottom of the chart) and then cross back up through the 95% level. This gives you an almost a sure signal that the market will reverse! It could be a short-term reversal... but it will reverse. (You can see that this would be particularly well-suited to the short-term or day-trading approach.) The reversal almost never fails to materialize - and I'm not kidding.
In the chart above, you can see that Williams %R has offered 5 clear buy signals in the past year based on this system. However, I must add that Williams was also quite clear that you use the buy signal in a bull market only... He wrote, "the %R index will not work if you insist on acting on the buy signals during a bear market." Base on the chart above, I would say that the S&P was in a bull market until it broke down through the long-term trendline shown in red in September.
That would make our most recent buy signal somewhat dubious - and you can see that the market was extremely volatile and it would have been difficult to trade even on a very quick-footed, short-term basis. In my ChartFilter.com report on Williams %R I've written that it is not very useful in a sideways market. Before using any indicator, therefore, I recommend drawing the trendlines and establishing the long-term, mid-term and short-term trends.
To my mind, Williams %R is worth its weight in gold in volatile markets. Check it out with some of the other indices and markets you are following.
TIPS & TECHNIQUES - Using Stochastics & Williams %R
Stochastics and Williams %R are two versatile momentum indicators. They are very useful for catching short-term market reversals, making them particularly well-suited to the active trader. They can act as leading indicators, warning of strength or weakness in the market, often ahead of the actual turning point.
There's much more to the application and interpretation of these indicators than I have room for in this short newsletter. With Stochastics, for example, two lines are normally plotted and additional signals are generated when they cross one another. Further signals are generated by divergence from the price activity and underlying patterns in the Stochastics line.
PROFIT POTENTIAL - Sanmina Corporation (Nasdaq: SANM)
Sanmina Corporation (SANM), an electronic manufacturing services company, has been receiving some favourable press recently. For example, here's an excerpt from a recent article:
Fool.com -- Sanmina put up some stellar numbers over the last 12 months, including 64% revenue growth and 63% EPS growth. Fourth quarter 2000 revenues were greater than all of 1998 revenues, and margins have remained steady.
Current consensus estimates for fiscal 2001 for Sanmina are $2.57 per share. That is greater than 100% EPS growth based on actual diluted 1999 EPS of $1.24, and 55% EPS growth based on 1999 diluted EPS excluding one-time charges.
Sanmina's future is all about demand. As long as global demand for better, stronger, and faster electronic devices holds up, Sanmina's prospects look strong.
Based on this, we should take a look at the chart and see if the technical side can shed any further light on this potential opportunity. Let's see what we can determine from the Stochastics and William %R indicators in particular...
Here's the price chart for SANM over the past year, along with the 20- and 50-day MAs. I've also added the Stochastics, Williams %R and MACD charts below.
When using Stochastics, the 20% and 80% levels are usually interpreted as the overbought/oversold thresholds. The buy signal occurs when the Stochastics lines cross down through the 20% level, form a bottom, and then cross back up through the 20% level. The sell signal is the opposite, using the 80% level.
The problem with this approach, to my mind, is that the Stochastics is extremely sensitive and provides too many choppy signals (for my personal style, that is). Now, this is fine if you like to trade very actively. You can see, however, that signals based on the Williams %R 95% level are more selective and potentially more profitable. In the past year, we would have had 13 buy signals generated by Stochastics - and most of them without much of a move to follow. Williams %R, on the other hand, has offered one strong buy signal -- in mid-April - at exactly the low point in the market. (There were a couple of other buy signals earlier in Dec 99/Jan 2000, but they never reached the 99-100% level that I advocate.)
Notice what the Stochastics is currently showing us? It has broken down through the 20% level, formed a very low, sharp bottom, and is poised to penetrate above 20%. This would be a Stochastics buy signal. What I would recommend, however, is waiting to see what Williams %R does. If it drops below 95%, hits 99-100%, and then sharply penetrates up through the 95% level you would have a very strong buy signal confirming the Stochastics signal. Of course, Williams %R may not oblige - but that's the beauty of using two indicators. Williams %R can be very valuable as an effective filter for keeping you out questionable markets.
And remember the idea of using MACD as a complimentary indicator to accompany Stochastics and/or Williams %R. You can see that the recent MACD buy signal was premature on its own... if MACD remains in positive territory, however, and you get a Williams %R buy signal the world could be your oyster! (MACD appears to be indecisive at the moment - so keep an eye on it along with the overbought/oversold indicators).
Putting ChartFilter into Context
ChartFilter is meant to complement your overall trading knowledge and decision-making. This newsletter focuses on applying technical analysis (TA) methods to various markets; but this is not to say that you shouldn't be considering important fundamental criteria, such as EPS or revenue, as well.

HE SAID: Well, living in Colorado lately has brought radical changes in the weather. First, we are the state icebox for a month. Then, last weekend we jumped into spring-like weather of rain, fog, and mists with the temp barely below freezing at night. While many pooh-pooh the idea of global warming, whatever the cause, the weather patterns have certainly changed. But, I have discovered the reason why. Because we've been trapped inside so much and because TV is so bad, I have turned to food programs on Netflix. There I found the real reason for the disruption of our weather - cow farts. Scientists, in a United Nations report, note that cows and other livestock produce 18% of all the greenhouse gases in the world, more than all transportation forms like cars, trucks, etc. combined. That's because livestock is more efficient at producing these gases, most notably, methane. Methane, a by-product of their ruminant digestion, is better at trapping carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere than carbon monoxide and other gases. One cow produces an estimated 26-132 gallons of methane a day, primarily in the form of belches, farts and manure. Part of the problem is manmade because many large-scale farmers have taken to growing perennial rye grass which is like a fast food for cows. This one feed produces far more methane than a varied diet of unaltered pasture.SHE SAID: At first I thought your research was just so much cow byproduct, but, upon further reading, I am finding intrepid scientists are finding all kinds of ways to experiment with producing energy from wastes.In Argentina, they have developed a cow backpack that captures bovine burps and farts and converts them to electricity. One cow can apparently produce enough to power several homes. Maybe we can fit the dogs with a backpack and power all the office machines. I have noticed their production is directly tied to how many chew toys and cans of cheap dog food they consume.The Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands is developing a toilet that captures the energy of our bodily digestion to power a home. That could really save us money on the cold days if we augment our diets with beans. Or maybe I should look into gas backpacks for the two of us. They don't call us old farts for nothing!HE SAID: Well, this discussion is a gas, but if there is a way to produce safe and cheap energy, we should pursue it. This is especially important in Third World countries where obtaining energy to do the smallest things like cooking either requires huge expenditures from limited budgets or leads to environmental destruction from wood gathering.Despite the naysayers, global warming is provable and a concept accepted by a huge majority of the scientific community. While we don't know with certainty what all the causes of the warming are, we know that if there is anything we can do to reduce the warming, earth will be a better place for humans. Anything positive we can do to help mitigate the warming as well as producing energy from renewable resources, would be the right things to do.SHE SAID: Along those lines, I read about an experiment where energy-producing metals have been placed under keys in cell phones, computers and game keyboards. Every time the user hits the key a small spark of energy is created that can be collected. The youngsters who are "connected" could really reduce their carbon footprint. I also know at Colorado Mesa they rigged some of the exercise equipment to produce electricity for the grid. Maybe we can put the cows on treadmills with the backpack.HE SAID: If we follow some of these suggestions, we will be doing what made this country great. We will have used our innovation and creativity to solve problems with new technology that benefits us. Such an approach has almost been forgotten in today's contentious, argumentative environment. I really would feel more comfortable using my computer if I knew it was powered by cow farts or key strikes rather than electricity from coal. We know how many people will die from health problems for each ton of coal we burn. SHE SAID: You're right. Between us and the dogs we are sitting on an energy gold mine. Bring on the beans!The Skinners hope that your energy is renewable, no matter the source. They can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
