PURE Energies Visits the Amazon Rainforest 12.8.2014Marketwired
PURE Energies Returns from the Amazon Rainforest Demonstrating that Sustainable Societies are Possible Without a PhD KENDJAM, BRAZIL–(Marketwired – December 03, 2014) - PURE Energies visits the extraordinary indigenous tribe protecting one of the world's largest surviving tracts of tropical rainforest. ... expand A team from PURE Energies, part of the NRG family of companies, went on an expedition to the Brazilian Amazon, where they spent a week with the indigenous Kayapo Tribe in the Kendjam community on the Iriri River. Zbigniew Barwicz, head of PURE Energies, led the team to learn from the Kayapo's model of sustainability and independence and offer support. Barwicz and the PURE Energies team were motivated to bring the Kayapo success story to the busy homeowners of North America to showcase a pure form of sustainability, wealth and happiness. PURE Energies was the first group to visit the Kayapo people since National Geographic Magazine gained entry two years prior. "Maintaining the Amazon rainforest is integral to the global landscape; tropical deforestation on a global scale is responsible for almost as much carbon emissions as all of the world's trucks, cars, ships, trains and planes," said Barwicz. Barwicz is a long-time admirer of the Kayapo for their proven ability to protect their land, independence, and sustainable lifestyle, in the face of mounting threats. The Kayapo are exemplary in their efforts to keep their culture and traditions intact, while defending 1,550 miles of border from invasion and encroachment. "I was initially attracted to the Kayapo story because of the size and complexity of their mission. After living alongside them, I've realized that there is nothing complex about their lifestyle. They just make it happen," observed Barwicz. PURE Energies' expedition to the Amazon contributes to a broader theme for the company which is interested in social and environmental improvements in remote areas. Barwicz kicked off 2014 with the Climb for DSF, climbing Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina, the highest mountain in the Western and Southern Hemispheres, to raise awareness and funds for the David Suzuki Foundation. Project Kayapo is another addition to PURE Energies' commitment to exploring remote territories and doing so for a cause. Barwicz suspects that this will not be his last trip to the Brazilian Amazon. PURE Energies donated $90,000 to the International Conservation Fund of Canada (ICFC), the first Canadian charity to focus solely on conserving nature in the tropics. The ICFC works directly with the Kayapo tribe to support conservation of Amazon rainforest. The PURE Energies donation will support the purchase of a new 4×4 vehicle, fuel and expedition supplies for territorial monitoring. The team also donated a Goal Zero solar powered lantern to every household in the community: a most welcome technological advancement for the people of Kendjam. The solar powered light sources do not require gasoline or diesel and improve the quality of life at night through practical uses, such as delivering babies to extending hours for socialization and processing the forest products the Kayapo sell. Goal Zero is an affiliate of PURE Energies, and both entities are subsidiaries of NRG Energy, Inc., a leading independent power producer in the United States. "To be one of the few people invited to live alongside the Kayapo tribe was an honor. Learning their unique way of life was eye-opening. They are an incredible people. They don't even think about sustainability because they don't introduce destruction into their land. What they do doesn't require a PhD, it requires practicality," said Barwicz. Barbara Zimmerman, Kayapo Program Director, reported, "The fact that a private company is so interested in a remote territory in Brazil is remarkable. PURE Energies isn't an NGO. They are attempting to balance profit with corporate responsibility; they care and they want to share the story. We look forward to future endeavours." PURE Energies Releases Expedition Video In maintaining the world's largest protected area of rainforest, the Kayapo also preserve a way of living and joy that must be seen to be believed. PURE Energies will be releasing a video on December 2nd which will summarize their Kayapo mission. The video will reveal a beautiful, rich and remote area of the world, with an up-close view of the proud people who preserve and protect it. See the video now. The Power to be Free "One of the qualities that first attracted PURE Energies to NRG Home Solar was their mission and values, which align with our core mission, the Power to be Free," said Kelcy Pegler, President of NRG Home Solar. "Solar at home is a no-brainer, and thousands of people across the United States are adopting it as a win-win for the environment and their budgets."

All people no matter where they live benefit from natural ecosystems and the richness of life worldwide. Nature in the tropics, especially rainforests, is under escalating intense threat and conservation action is urgently needed before the planet's richest ecosystems are lost forever. The ICFC believes the most effective conservation method is to invest in empowerment of local and traditional communities whom live near or in rainforests. The Kayapo Project is a stellar example of this work. Tropical ecosystem conservation addresses many of our greatest challenges: climate change (to which deforestation is a major contributor), biodiversity loss, deteriorating fish stocks and marine ecosystems, flooding, droughts and desertification.

NRG Acquires Pure Energies Group 10.6.2014NRG
NRG Energy Acquires Pure Energies Group, Adding Stronger Online Platform for Customer Access to NRG's Rapidly Expanding Residential Solar Business Pure Energies builds on recent acquisitions to empower customers to go solar in an easy and streamlined way PRINCETON, N.J.–(BUSINESS ... expand WIRE)–Oct. 2, 2014– NRG Energy, Inc. (NYSE:NRG) has acquired Pure Energies Group, Inc. (Pure Energies), a residential solar industry leader in the critical area of web-based customer acquisition. Pure Energies completes the residential solar capabilities NRG has been working to assemble and perfectly complements NRG's acquisition earlier this year of Roof Diagnostics Solar, a leader in home solar direct sales and installation, and NRG's own Residential Solar Solutions, which has focused on the financing and business operations associated with solar leasing. All of these capabilities and operations, combined as NRG Home Solar, create a one-stop shop for prospective solar customers, offering the optimal rooftop solar system customized to their homes and needs. Pure Energies and its proprietary customer acquisition process will help NRG Home Solar reduce customer acquisition costs while providing a simplified solar adoption process. Pure Energies' online capabilities also are expected, ultimately, to provide a valuable sales channel for NRG's Goal Zero line of portable solar and energy storage products and NRG's retail businesses (NRG, Reliant and Green Mountain). "Home solar is the gateway for most American consumers to join the growing movement toward a clean energy future, and the combination of Pure Energies' rapid growing online footprint with our existing residential solar platform will enhance our ability to provide customers, wherever they are, the freedom to make their own clean energy and capitalize on the energy generating potential of their own home," said David Crane, President and CEO of NRG Energy. "While residential solar is being increasingly embraced by homeowners of all ages across the United States, buying over the internet is the acquisition channel of choice in particular for the younger generation of Americans for whom commitment to a sustainable lifestyle is a fundamental part of their DNA." "We are focused on being a trusted energy advisor to help homeowners save money on their electricity bills while they invest in a more sustainable lifestyle," said Zbigniew Barwicz, President of Pure Energies. "Being part of NRG Home Solar allows us to increase our abilities to support homeowners by facilitating the adoption of solar energy and home conservation products across the United States. Pure Energies advises homeowners on residential solar systems and home conservation products to help them save money and make a difference in their communities. The company, which previously also used the One Block Off the Grid (1BOG) brand, empowers customers to make smart decisions about home solar adoption. Through a unique online platform, Pure Energies is able to, within minutes, identify and provide a detailed analysis of the customer's home solar feasibility versus their energy needs. "NRG strives to provide customers with the easiest path to assess the benefits of home solar," said Kelcy Pegler Jr., President of NRG Home Solar. "With Pure Energies' wealth of experience in connecting consumers to their full energy potential – combined with NRG's strengths as a Fortune 250 company well-established in residential solar – consumers will have greater access to meet their solar needs. The team at Pure has experience in solar across multiple states and countries and has a demonstrated track record of success in the home solar business. Together, we will empower consumers to make smarter, better informed decisions as they move toward the clean energy economy."

Distributed Solar Thrives Online In Deregulated Electricity Markets 6.5.2014Solar Industry Mag
The significance of comparison shopping is in the wonders it's working in shaping the online energy marketplace. Online energy marketplaces may encourage homeowners to think more about solar in deregulated markets. Chris Stern, VP and co-founder of Pure Energies makes the ... expand comparison between the electrical grid and the phone conglomerate that had a monopoly on the landline business in the 80s: Today, there are much smaller telecommunications companies, and most households have more than one cell phone.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Sean Avery's Fine Line
by Alanah McGinley on 11/20/07 at 03:31 AM ET
Comments (0)
From Mark Herrmann at Newsday,
There is no neutral zone on the subject of Sean Avery, former boyfriend to actress Elisha Cuthbert, suitor to Paris Hilton (he was shut out), member of People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" contingent, provocateur in Toronto Nov. 10 in a pregame dustup that left Avery denying a rumor that he had ragged Jason Blake for having leukemia. Avery later said that that's over the line.
For someone like him, everything is a fine line. It's part of NHL strategy for a team to have someone who challenges players physically and tries to intimidate them verbally. Euphemisms refer to them as "pests" or "agitators." They are different from "tough guys" or "enforcers," who are known for using their fists, not their vocabularies.
This protocol is one of hockey's quirks that non-fans find hard to understand. Maybe the sport would be more popular if more people took the time to love or hate the likes of Avery.
A friend of mine (not a Rangers fan) argues that—love him or hate him—Sean Avery is good for hockey in many ways. I'm not always sure, myself… but he certainly does does know how to draw a spotlight.

Muscovy Ducks
I bought a few Muscovy ducks to control bugs, slugs, and whatever. They are in my chicken pen, but I would like to release them into a different area of our property. Does anyone have any tips for keeping them around or confined in a large area?
Ducks are trainable. I have Indian Runners & Roeuns(look like mallards). So if they're anything alike, you have to show them their boundries. It takes alot of patience and sometimes a little reminding, but mine do not go in the front yard...much. I'm lucky enough to have neihbors who don't care if they come over for a snack or make a dinner of their bugs. If they get out of bounds I yell "Hey" and clap my hands and that usually turns them home. One out of 15-20 times I may have to make them know who's Boss. I'm trying to teach my Yorkie to "Round-em-up", but he gets a little to excited sometimes. Your ducks will learn to let you guide them. Its kinda like backing up a trailer, If I hold my right arm out straight they turn left, or visa-versa. I usually put them in their pen at night by myself, but once in awhile,when they're feeling like staying out all night I need my husbands help. Good Luck !!!
They are such a JOY.
Thanks for the responses. I am still a bit concerned that they will take off on me, for they can fly some and climb. I will keep them penned until next month, then try releasing them. A the moment, I have them in with the chickens in an enclosed yard to protect them from eagles, hawks, owls, etc.
I want to know how to get rid of them myself.
Let just a few out of the pen and keep the others shut up. After a week you can let them all out. If that don't work let me know and you can come get about a thirty or forty of them from my yard any morning to replace them.

We could only give a 3 rating because there was NOT a dump station! The campground is nice and if you like birds: plenty! We were here for one night only. We don't fish, but apparently the fishing is good! We camped at Hesperia Lake & Campground in a Motorhome.Undo
Date of Stay: December, 2011 - $35.00
We stayed overnight during December. A number of locals were fishing in the lake in the afternoon. There was only one other party in the campground proper with us. We had a lake view with electric hookup but no water hookup. Other sites have both hookups but no view. We liked the place for a short stay, nothing to rave about, but quiet, clean, fenced off. I believe the electric box had a 50A receptacle (I only need 30A), but the fuses may have been 30A. If you need 50A just call to get the low-down. Overall, I would recommend the place for a stop-over. We camped at Hesperia Lake & Campground in a Travel Trailer.Undo
Date of Stay: May, 2006 - $24.00
This is a city of Hesperia municipal park, & the condition is about what one would expect for that. It's high desert, flat, open & a long way from luxurious. It's obviously under-funded & needs maintenance, but it's kept clean, well-run & quiet time was well enforced despite an annual "pow wow" being held there the weekend we were there. It's off a rural road, so there was very little road noise to disturb our sleep. It's certainly not a "destination" but, based on the reviews of the other places in the area, including a cousin I have who lives there, it seems the place of choice for an overnight or two if the opportunity presents. We would stay there again when in the area. The lake yielded 1 huge trout & several large catfish that we saw during our 3 days there. We camped at Hesperia Lake & Campground in a Tent Trailer.Undo

Four football heroes and seven women's lacrosse heroes were just a few of the people who came out to help and support. Oregon Law enforcement and Fred Meyer sponsored the plunge, and local news outlets KVAL and KMTR covered the event. Emcee Barry MacGuire from Kool 99.1 was there to narrate and introduce a live band and of course hundreds of people in wet suits, athletic apparel and costumes ranging from mythical creatures to a group of lawyers all plunged into the Willamette River. In addition to all the fun that was had, the efforts of all involved raised over twenty thousand dollars for the Special Olympics.

This is an incredible tongue scraper!,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tongue Sweeper Model PRO: Stainless Steel Tongue Cleaner (Health and Beauty)
This is exactly what I've been looking for. All the other tongue scrapers seem flimsy and useless by comparison. It is extremely thin and sturdy, very well designed, easy to use, easy to clean - but most of all EFFECTIVE.
They have so many others that I'm tempted to stray - to go and buy and try all their various products, but quite frankly - if the internet broke down and my house was on fire, I'd grab my dog and my tongue scraper. I don't think I'm kidding.
I'm not!

Folk artist Maxwell Newhouse has created a beautifully simple counting book with a twist. The book begins with ten crunching caribou on a green plain. As the numbers of animals decrease, the snow begins to fall. By the end of the book, the page is heavy with snow. A lovely introduction to numbers and the animals of Canada. For ages two to eight.

Gather all of your receipts for the tax year. The IRS permits taxpayers to claim sales tax on any item you paid sales tax for, including large-ticket items such as furniture and everyday items such as the fast-food lunch you picked up in the drive-thru.
How to Claim State Sales Taxes on Income Tax
Taxpayers who itemize deductions are permitted to claim sales tax on purchases made throughout the year, or your state and local income tax. You cannot claim both, but either will reduce the amount of tax you owe by adding to the amount of itemized deductions you will claim in place of your standard deduction. To calculate your state sales tax on your income-tax return you'll need to add the tax on each receipt you had for the entire year, and keep those receipts for tax purposes, or you can use the IRS' general sales-tax calculator to obtain an amount, if you did not keep your receipts throughout the year.
Sales Tax Receipts
Add only the sales-tax portion of each receipt. Keeping every receipt for every purchase made throughout the year means it will take a significant amount of time to add the amount of your sales tax. One way to eliminate the amount of time spent adding receipts together is to categorize your receipts by month and add the sales tax at the end of each month throughout the year on next year's income-tax return.
Input the total amount of your sales tax on line 5b of Schedule A, the Itemized Deductions form you file with your federal income tax return form 1040.
General Sales Tax Calculator
Use the sales-tax-deduction calculator provided by the IRS if you did not keep your receipts. The link to the website containing the calculator is in Resources.
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided for you by the IRS' sales-tax-deduction calculator. Information required includes your income range, number of exemptions you are claiming, and the amount you paid on any major purchases, such as furniture and appliances that you have receipts for. Continue following the directions and answering questions about your individual tax situation until the IRS calculator provides you with an amount to claim on your return.
Input your general sales tax amount on line 5b of Schedule A. Fill out the remainder of Schedule A and enter your itemized deductions on your income-tax return. Review, sign, and mail your income-tax return.

Intelliflo pump and in-line chlorinator
Anyone have issues with in-line chlorinator / feeders not getting enough flow to operate properly while Intelliflo VF pump runs at low speeds ?
Forgive me Bruce if this is slightly OT but might prove pertinent anyhow. Just a couple of days ago my crew finished and fired up our new Intelliflow installation. Sure enough just as I had feared, at lowest speed the output of our sand filter wouldn't support the requirement of our Polaris booster which I'm advised might self-destruct if pressure here goes negative
Fortunately however the leader of our crew, a high-level executive in the Aerospace Industry whom I shall call Ike, knew exactly what to do, programming the controller so that the Intelliflow switches to a higher speed (incidentally 2300 rpm), just a few minutes before booster is set to come on
So far the only drawback to our new system is that I've been deprived of the ability to independently control the booster, which I sometimes need to start earlier when the bottom is especially messy or which I'd like to stop occasionally, pulling out to adjust its jet or make repairs
Ike has promised to address this issue upon his next visit. Meanwhile however, Irish's suggestion has some merit. I'm not familiar with chlorinators but I'm guessing in my case I might connect the booster at the input of the filter instead of output
Critical issue might prove whether flow is even great enough at this point for the booster which really sucks (no pun intended)
Dale once again your response has nothing to do with what was asked. There was no mention of a booster yet you got off into some rant about booster pumps. As you stated you know nothing about chlorinators. So please if you have no valuable input do not reply.
Assuming you have programmed the pump to run at a high speed for cleaner, the top feed approach is best for the feeder. It easily converts by removing the plug and swapping out the hose.
On the dude with the Polaris issue, how about an actuator to divert through a control system that specifically rotates to feed an appropriate amount of flow down the sweep line to drive that sweep. It's a bit unproductive to have an IntelliFlo AND a booster for a sweep.
Better yet, I beleive the Letro booster for 2011 is going to be variable speed so check that one out. It's a brilliant idea.
Guy thanks for not attacking me mercilessly, thought the Irish were supposed to be so easy going. I had assumed that his references to "top" v "bottom" feed might have referred to the filter, where pressure at the bottom might be much lower but apparently was mistaken which will no doubt cause thousands of GW participants to spend their life savings fruitlessly for which apologize profusely but highly recommend for his benefit the occasional use of kava kava or St John's wort
"...how about an actuator to divert through a control system that specifically rotates to feed an appropriate amount of flow down the sweep line....."
Thank you Guy for that suggestion. I had considered a scheme similar to what you suggest but instead connecting booster at input of filter where pressure is much higher, thereby obviating the need for additional gear. However with Vf at low speed wasn't sure even there it might not be adequate to serve the needs of the booster
However the system our engineer-expert Ike came up with had an unexpected benefit: During the hour of sweep with higher flow much of the flotsam is better carried to the skimmer port
Bruce sorry for all the OT but Guy to avoid further ruffling Irish's dander I'd be most happy to further discuss your proposal as firstname.lastname@example.com or for the benefit of Polaris owners you might consider opening a new thread specifically to discuss the dangers of switching to vf without making special provision for the booster

pinch off stems?
Hi, is it ok to pinch or snip off the stems of flowers once the petals have all dropped? They're ugly, & they take forever to shrivel.
Also, is it ok to cut off a leaf that has died, even if the stem is still fat and unshriveled? I'm particularly concerned about my Gehrtiis, which are doing great but have a couple of ugly dead leaves.
To my way of thinking, that's called 'grooming' and I do it all the time. There may be times when it isn't appropriate, but I don't know of any. Of course, if you get too many bad leaves you might have a bare stem, at which time you could cut it back and root the top with the leaves. I do that all the time, which may be why I'm so popular at our plant club exchange--I always have lots of plants to bring, and I'm very grateful to them for taking 'em off my hands!

What's healthier: blending or juicing? Both methods increase fruit and veggie intake and both methods have their own benefits and disadvantages.
Juicing is a process which extracts water and nutrients and discards all the fiber. Without the fiber, your digestive system doesn't have to work to break down the food and absorb the nutrients. The fiber helps to slow down the digestive process and provides a steady release of nutrients into the blood stream. The fiber-free juice is helpful if you have a sensitive digestive system, if you feel weak, tired or run-down, or if you suffer from a disorder, which inhibits your body from processing fiber. You can pack more servings of fruits and veggies into a single serving of juice than you can into a smoothie, however, making juice a more nutrient-dense drink than a smoothie. When the fiber is removed, the juice is instantly absorbed into your blood stream, causing a spike in blood sugar. Unstable blood sugar levels can lead to mood swings, energy loss, memory problems and even potential diabetes down the line. Fiber is also filling, and without fiber in the juice, once the blood sugar spike comes down, you will be hungry again therefore would ingest more calories than you would if you drank a blended smoothie.
Juicers can be very expensive and hard to take care of. They need to be thoroughly cleaned after every use to prevent rusting.
Blending is the process of finely chopping up and mashing the entire fruit or vegetable, to produce a smooth consistency. Blending leaves all the fiber intact, which helps create a slow and steady release of nutrients into the blood stream and avoids blood sugar spikes, so if you have an issue with blood sugar or weight, this is probably a better option for you. By including the fiber in your smoothie, the volume of the drink will increase and you will feel fuller longer. Compared to digesting juice, your body will have to work harder to digest a smoothie and absorb its nutrients. Also, because it's difficult to pack in the same volume of vegetables into a blender, your smoothie won't be as nutrient-dense as your juice. Using a high quality blender, such as a Vitamix , will lead to smoother smoothies. The price of a good blender is the same as a price of a good juicer.
The bottom line: Both juicing and blending can be used during different times for different purposes, as both methods have their own unique advantages. If your diet is full of healthy foods, I would recommend juicing sparingly, because of the blood sugar issue. If you drink one green smoothie a day, drink one green juice once a week and you are guaranteed a slow supply of healthy nutrients. I do not recommend giving any juice, expect for the green kind to children, due to the blood sugar issue.
H ow to make any green smoothie

September In The Rain by Frank Sinatra. Arranged by Nelson Riddle. For big band with male vocal. Swing. Medium. Full score and set of parts. Published by Lush Life (JL.LL-2184).
Here is a transcription of the Nelson Riddle chart done for Frank Sinatra. The original chart was written to include strings, and some orchestral woodwind; these parts have been re-scored into the chart for a regular 5444 line-up. However, to maintain the flavor of the wonderfully conceived original intro, both altos double flutes, and both tenors double clarinet. If your band can't manage this, don't worry. You can kick the chart off from the trombone entry in the 5th measure. The solo muted trumpet licks in the first chorus have been written out, and the vocal part is as-sung by Sinatra. The 4th trombone is bass, though playable by a tenor, with out of range notes taken up an octave, and the vocal key is D throughout. Swing @ 112 bpm. Ranges: Trumpets 1-4: D6, B5, G#5, F5 Trombones 1-4: C5, A4, G4, C#4 Vocal Key D Vocal Range: A2 - E4 (12 steps, as sung).

Hidden Spy Cameras
May 28, 2012 Spy Gagets
Hidden spy cameras are extremely effective when you want to find out information on someone. Hidden spy cameras have several uses inside the home and office. At home, you can see if the nanny you hired is right for your family and respects your home and children when you are not there. At the office, use hidden spy cameras to catch employees stealing from you or wasting time on your dollar.
A hidden spy camera is nothing more than a camera mounted inside an inconspicuous object. Then the device can be connected to a VCR or DVR and record images that can be played back as needed. Wireless spy cams use a transmitter and receiver to send a signal to your choice of recording device.
As of December 2008, you can get hidden spy cameras that are capable of recording images with an SD card. All you have to do to view the images is take the card out and insert it into a card reader or your computer's SD slot. These devices are as easy to use as an everyday digital camera.
Many people do not realize that a hidden camera is something that most of us will need at some point in our lives. Everyday there are more and more situations where we need to be in a hundred places at the same time. We want to keep an eye on things at home to find out which child is taking the cookies before dinner or if the babysitter brings a friend. At work, you may need to know who keeps stealing all of the ballpoint pens and Post-It notes from the office supply room.
Everyone in this day and age leads such a busy and hectic life that things go unnoticed until the problems are obvious. You may not know that a car full of thugs have been turning around in your driveway every afternoon at two, until you come home after work one day to find your valuables missing and you home trashed. Realities like this can be avoided by simply installing a hidden camera and accessing the feed from your computer at work.
Hidden spy cameras are helpful to so many people in all walks of life, primarily due to the fact that hidden spy cameras can be disguised as any number of everyday items that no one will ever suspect.
Here are a few situations where a hidden spy camera would come in very handy:
- Is your child staying past their bedtime or using their computer when on restriction? A great way to find out is to slip a hidden spy camera into their alarm clock and keep an eye on their actions.
- Do you suspect your employees are leaving early or taking extra breaks? A camera hidden in the EXIT sign above the door may be just the thing you need to catch unproductive employees wasting your time and money.
- Is your nanny following your rules and taking proper care of your children? Is your spouse alone while you are working the night shift? Did the mail carrier attempt to deliver your package? Is the neighbor's dog getting in your trash? Motion activated hidden spy cameras can be placed throughout your home in order for you to find out what is going on when you are away. These cameras work best when hidden in items that would normally be seen around your home such as a wall clock, air freshener, stationary toys, smoke detectors or a cordless phone.
- Some baby monitors can be fashioned with a hidden spy camera, allowing you to monitor your home and children with sound. In the following US states you must have a person's consent to record speech: California, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Florida, Delaware, Connecticut, Maryland, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.
There are several reasons why you may need to use a hidden spy camera. If you want to use your camera at work, you may need legal permission to ensure no privacy rights are violated. However, you do not need such permission if you only use the camera after hours.
Hidden spy cameras should not be placed in bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms or locker rooms. Use your hidden spy camera responsibly and you are on your way to becoming a super spy who can spy on and find out anything about anyone.

Atlas Shrugged
Atlas Shrugged Volume 2, Chapter 1 Summary
The Man Who Belonged On Earth
- This chapter title is a reference to an upcoming line of Dagny's, just FYI.
- We start our new Volume with Robert Stadler freezing in his office at the State Science Institute in New Hampshire. It's May but still cold.
- We've clearly jumped forward in time several months, since when we left Hank and Dagny it was either late summer or early fall.
- The winter was a bad one – lots of accidents and shortages across the country.
- Stadler is waiting on Dr. Ferris. He is feeling lonely and depressed.
- He recalls giving an interview a year ago where the guy garbled everything he said.
- Dr. Stadler has Dr. Ferris's new book on him: Why Do You Think You Think? Sounds like a winner, although nothing tops The Vulture is Molting in our opinion.
- We get some sound bites from the book. Ferris writes things like science is useless, no one can know anything, reason doesn't exist, everything is a contradiction, etc. It's very down on thinking and people in general.
- Stadler is really upset by the book since he doesn't believe anything it says.
- Ferris finally ambles in and is disrespectful toward Dr. Stadler.
- Stadler asks Ferris about the oil shortage. Ferris gets defensive and says the government is doing the best it can to fix the mess in the Wyatt Oil Fields. He also insists that the fire was an accident and that Wyatt died in it.
- Stadler is confused – he doesn't really know anything about Ellis Wyatt at all; he was just wondering why the building is freaking freezing.
- Ferris is relieved and says that the whole country was short on fuel this past winter and he'll make sure Stadler is more comfortable in the future.
- Stadler says this is stupid – the Wyatt Oil Fields couldn't have been the only source of oil in the whole country.
- Ferris hems and haws and says that the other closures in Colorado have been causing problems. Turns out Andrew Stockton has disappeared, too.
- Stadler then asks about Project X, which freaks Ferris out.
- He didn't need to worry, though, cause Stadler is clueless as usual.
- Project X stands for Project Xylophone; it's super secret and has to do with sound.
- Stadler finally asks Ferris what the heck is up with his book.
- Ferris seems smug and is mocking Stadler, which confuses Stadler.
- Ferris says he knows it's all garbage and that people are idiotic enough to believe it.
- Stadler is really just mad that there's an endorsement from him on the book.
- Ferris laughs and says that Stadler has as much contempt for society as he does, so chill out.
- Ferris then explains that the book gives people an excuse not to think by explaining that they can't think, and that this book is the road to popularity. Popularity means money from Congress.
- Stadler thinks this is all stupid; he hates having to deal with politics.
- Ferris finally leaves but lets us know that Lawrence Hammond has disappeared now, too. Ferris has it in for all the businesspeople who are disappearing.
- Stadler throws the book in the trash after Ferris leaves and feels very depressed.
- But then he gets a phone call from Dagny. She wants a meeting.
- He's thrilled to hear from her and offers to come up to New York to see her in person.
- Scene cut! We catch up with Dagny now.
- The past few months have been very hard for her, since all her friends and fellow businesspeople from Colorado are disappearing.
- This is also causing difficulties for her railroad, since they are losing customers.
- No one knows why the people are disappearing or where they are going.
- We learn that the fires in Ellis Wyatt's oil fields have finally been put out, except for one oil well that's still burning. People call the lingering flame Wyatt's Torch.
- Dagny is fed up with the corruption in Washington. There's all sorts of shady dealing going on. People with connections can magically get trains and transportation, while other businesses are cut off without any help.
- The government has also started freezing people's bonds and accounts, but people with connections can get their accounts magically "unfrozen," while others are just screwed over.
- Dagny refuses to quit, though, and she hasn't given up on her quest to find the inventor of the Magical Motor.
- She took the cigarette that Hugh Akston gave her, with the dollar sign on it, to that newsstand man from way back in Volume 1 who collects cigarettes.
- She also brought in scientists and showed them the motor, but they either weren't smart enough to understand it or were scared of it.
- Silly Dagny, don't you know by now that you have to do everything yourself?
- Stadler finally shows up and is full of kind words for Dagny, but she brushes him off and gets down to business.
- She gives Stadler the lowdown on the motor and he is thrilled. He's totally confused about the inventor though. He doesn't get why the inventor didn't publish fancy articles about his theories, and he can't figure out who the person could be.
- Stadler wants to put out a classified ad for the guy, but Dagny talks him out of it, saying that the inventor probably wouldn't respond to anything connected to the State Science Institute.
- Stadler sadly agrees.
- He asks to see the motor and Dagny shows him.
- Stadler then goes on one of his patented random rants, something Dagny seems to inspire in him. He carries on about how he is desperate to find cool, smart people in the world since he's always surrounded by brown-nosing morons.
- Dagny can feel his pain there.
- Finally Stadler tells her about a scientist named Quentin Daniels who lives in Utah. Daniels didn't want to have anything to do with the State Science Institute, apparently, so Dagny is down with that.
- As they are walking out of the tunnel where the motor is, someone asks our favorite question: who is John Galt?
- Stadler says he actually knew a John Galt. Let's hear it, Stadler!
- Stadler insists John Galt has to be dead, though, and he sounds freaked about the whole thing.
- Scene cut! Hank is back.
- He's gotten a letter from the State Science Institute wanting him to sell them some Rearden Metal for the mysterious Project X.
- Hank says no way and his secretary Gwen Ives is happy with that call.
- We learn that Hank's been dealing with lots of restrictions on his Rearden Metal and other bad stuff over the past few months.
- Hank is peeved because he isn't allowed to sell his metal to people who really need it, like Ken Danagger and Dagny.
- He also has a new person from Washington keeping an eye on his plant. It's a young guy that Hank derisively nicknames the Wet Nurse.
- The Wet Nurse is hip and tells Hank to go with the flow and get with the program and other such clichés. Hank tells the Wet Nurse to stop spouting off party-line garbage all the time.
- We learn that Hank is becoming increasingly disillusioned. He actually laughed (scaring himself a little) when he heard that Ellis had torched his oil fields and split town.
- The Wet Nurse tells Hank that he'll be in trouble with Washington if he doesn't hand over his Rearden Metal to the State Science Institute.
- Hank says that he won't cooperate with a bad government that basically steals things from people.
- A guy comes from the State Science Institute and tries to convince Hank to hand over the metal, but Hank refuses again.
- Hank tells the guy that if the government wants to barge in with guns and take his metal they can do so, but he won't help them pretend they aren't stealing from him or forcing him to do stuff he'd rather not.
- The man tells Hank he'll regret this. Then he cackles evilly.
- Scene cut! Dagny is lounging at home, waiting for Hank.
- She decides that the only times she's really happy is when Hank is with her.
- Hank comes in with an expensive present – a ruby necklace.
- Dagny protests that it's too extravagant to wear anywhere. But Hank has an idea: he has Dagny strip and put the necklace on. And then they play chess. Oh, wait.
- Hank tells Dagny that she's like a work of art. We learn through a series of flashbacks that Hank has been spoiling Dagny with really elaborate gifts, like tropical flowers in the winter, crystal glasses, a gold necklace, and a fur cape. Kind of over-the-top, really. But Dagny is having fun with it as long as Hank is.
- The night he gives her the cape he takes her out for dinner.
- During the drive Dagny thinks about Hank and can't understand why he lets his family push him around and make him miserable.
- Hank tells Dagny that he enjoys spoiling her and finally has a reason to spend his money.
- At dinner Hank notices all the miserable people around them and can't figure out why the world is the way it is.
- He tells Dagny that when he was working hard in his youth he wanted to earn a life of luxury and a night like the one they're having.
- We cut back to the present. Hank is walking to Dagny's place and thinking Deep Thoughts.
- He arrives and he and Dagny talk a while about life, their shared values, and the motor.
- Hank has a little epiphany and decides that as long as there's one person out there who could invent the motor, he won't lose his faith in the world or in people.
- Hanks explains his realization to Dagny. He says that the creeps running the country need some sort of moral sanction or approval from people and that he and Dagny can't cooperate with them.
- They both feel happier after this and embrace.
