NEWSTEAD, N.Y. (AP) — You want a wake-up call with that?
State police say troopers were called to a western New York McDonald's last weekend for a report of a man asleep behind the wheel of a car in the drive-thru lane.
When troopers arrived at the fast-food restaurant in the Erie County town of Newstead at about 2 a.m. Saturday, they found the 32-year-old driver sleeping at the wheel of his car with the engine running.
The troopers woke him up and gave him sobriety tests, which he failed. Police say he was charged with driving while intoxicated for having a blood-alcohol content of 0.14 percent, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08 percent.
Troopers say the man lives in Newstead, a rural town 20 miles east of Buffalo.

The present invention relates generally to industrial automation, and more particularly toward a system and method for communicating with automation devices utilizing an animated and interactive human/machine interface (HMI).
Human/machine interfaces (HMIs) or simply user interfaces are important to the successful operation and maintenance of industrial automation devices and equipment. User interfaces provide the essential communication link between operators and automation devices. This link allows operators to, among other things, setup devices, monitor device status during operation, as well as analyze device health. Without such user interfaces, high level industrial automation would be difficult if not impossible to achieve.
Over the years, user interfaces have gone through several changes. At first, user interfaces were simply dumb terminals, which merely displayed text messages to end-users indicative of some process performed by a server or processor associated with an automated device. For instance, a failed device would generate an internal error code representing a determined error which could then be matched to a particular error message and displayed to a user or operator on a display device. Over time, client side processing developed so as to enable a move from a text based interface to a graphical user interface (GUI). This transition shifted some of the processing burden away from the automated device or associated processor toward the client side GUI. These new GUIs vastly improved the ability of users to access information quickly and easily. Unfortunately, these GUIs were not portable in part because of there size and machine dependencies and therefore not a viable option for managing and controlling a plurality of network connected devices. Shortly thereafter, the processing burden shifted back toward devices and away from interfaces with the advent the Internet and web browsers. As a result, developers sought to use web browsers as an interface mechanism. However, browsers merely employ a mark up language that is useful for displaying text and static images over a network (as was the purpose of browsers when they were conceived), but not for dynamic user interfaces. Accordingly there is a need in the art for a browser-based interface that provides users with a rich interactive experience that allows users to quickly and easily access and transfer information to and from automation devices in real-time.
The following presents a simplified summary of the invention in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview of the invention. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements of the invention or to delineate the scope of the invention. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts of the invention in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
Disclosed herein is a system and method for interacting with automation devices or machines. Automation devices are communicatively coupled with other components and devices such as a data store for centrally storing device data via a network. A user can then communicate proximately or remotely with the automation devices and other associated networked components and devices via a rich, responsive and engaging browser-based interface in order to easily monitor, extract, and/or transmit data to and from automation devices in real time. Such an interface is made possible by extending browser functionality by embedding or incorporating an interactive program and an associated execution engine. The interactive program can comprise, among other things, bindings and a presentation component. Bindings can be specified which bind interactive program variables to automation device data such that the displayed data can be updated in real time and therefore always remain current. The presentation component can then be employed to specify an interactive multimedia context to display and interact with device data. Accordingly, the present invention provides for sophisticated and real time interaction with device data by employing a rich and easy to use browser-based interface.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the invention are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative of various ways in which the invention may be practiced, all of which are intended to be covered by the present invention. Other advantages and novel features of the invention may become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The foregoing and other aspects of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description and the appended drawings described in brief hereinafter.
The present invention is now described with reference to the annexed drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like elements throughout. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description thereto are not intended to limit the invention to the particular form disclosed. Rather, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
As used in this application, the terms "component" and "system" are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Furthermore, the present invention may be implemented as a method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof. The term "article of manufacture" (or alternatively, "computer program product") as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the subject invention.

Input devices 1036 include, but are not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, TV tuner card, digital camera, digital video camera, web camera, and the like. These and other input devices connect to the processing unit 1014 through the system bus 1018 via interface port(s) 1038. Interface port(s) 1038 include, for example, a serial port, a parallel port, a game port, and a universal serial bus (USB). Output device(s) 1040 use some of the same type of ports as input device(s) 1036. Thus, for example, a USB port may be used to provide input to computer 1012, and to output information from computer 1012 to an output device 1040. Output adapter 1042 is provided to illustrate that there are some output devices 1040 like monitors, speakers, and printers, among other output devices 1040, that require special adapters. The output adapters 1042 include, by way of illustration and not limitation, video and sound cards that provide a means of connection between the output device 1040 and the system bus 1018. It should be noted that other devices and/or systems of devices provide both input and output capabilities such as remote computer(s) 1044.
Computer 1012 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as remote computer(s) 1044. The remote computer(s) 1044 can be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a workstation, a microprocessor based appliance, a peer device or other common network node and the like, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to computer 1012. For purposes of brevity, only a memory storage device 1046 is illustrated with remote computer(s) 1044.

Is Tyrosine Safe for Pregnant Women?
It is unknown if tyrosine is safe for pregnant women.
No reliable studies show that tyrosine is either safe or unsafe, since it has not been adequately studied in any pregnant women or animals. It might seem logical to assume that tyrosine supplements would be perfectly safe for pregnant women, since tyrosine is just an amino acid that is found in many foods. Furthermore, it is produced naturally by the human body. However, just because a normal dietary intake of tyrosine through food is safe, it cannot be assumed that using tyrosine supplements medicinally is equally safe. Perhaps the higher levels could cause problems, or perhaps the tyrosine in supplements is slightly different from the tyrosine found in foods. Until more information is available, it's best to wait until after pregnancy to try tyrosine supplements.
Keep in mind that just because other pregnant women have used a natural product without problems does not mean that it is safe. It takes a large group of pregnant women taking a particular medication or supplement to see if it increases the risk of problems such as miscarriages or birth defects, since these problems usually occur infrequently. Many women try to avoid medications in pregnancy and turn to alternative remedies instead, assuming that "natural" automatically means "safe." However, natural products can be quite toxic. For instance, many poisons and toxins are natural products. It just does not make sense to use a dietary supplement during pregnancy for which there is no information available about its safety.
If you are pregnant, it is always a good idea to ask your healthcare provider before taking any medication or supplement. The two of you can consider the possible risks and benefits of using tyrosine in your particular situation, as well as any other treatment alternatives.

The second week of class was quiet eventful. This week included a tutorial, of either one hour or two, for each class. I was a bit nervous about going but I like tutorials much better than lectures. It is closer to BW's small class size and has equal if not more individual attention and class discussion.
I ended up deciding I could not do the history class I was in after sitting through three hours of it so I switched out of it and into another history class. The funny part was I sat through six hours of history that one day.
I finally joined the gym which I am so happy about. Now I can get into some sort of routine thats not dependent on the wow its too hot to run outside factor. I also have been meaning to pick up yoga since I bean college (year and a half ago) and finally did so last night. It was quite a different intense work than I'm use to but I definitely will be going back and surprised myself with my ability to follow and catch on so fast.
I was in the back corner of the room and one pose (sorry I can't recall its name) called for us to put our feet over our head well my feet ended up going into a potted tree and making a ton of nose. The class got a laugh about that!
The atmosphere about school work is very relaxed here. The pool is always full and people are always pleasure reading. Hello I love that. I do need to sit down and plan ahead for all of my big papers. Two of which are due in one week and two weeks.. ah!

Moderator DR1.com
Everyone here makes excellent points, and as far as I can tell, no one is completely wrong in their assessment of the situation, but no one is completely correct either. However, I will point out what I've noticed while standing behind a bar here in Cabarete for four years:
1.)When you come into the bar with a known prostitute or prostitutes, your ability to pick up a good girl from a good family has now been shot down to zero. We have a couple of really nice, educated, incredibly beautiful, slightly religious (one of them), English speaking(one is fluent) bartenders here where I work. If they've seen you hanging out or dating a prostitute, you can pretty much kiss your chances with them goodbye.
2.) I agree with Criss Colon, you should giveeveryone the benefit of doubt and shouldn't judge anyone. However, how exactlydo you go about making assessments about someone if not by their actions. We gotgirls coming in with expats and tourists who can barely read or write. They takeone look at our menu and order the most expensive drink or meal they can findand then want to return it because it doesn't taste like what they were expecting.
3.)We got girls dating expats here for a long time;however, when the expat has to return back home for a few weeks or months, thegirls immediately take to hustling again while the expat continues sending hermoney. Then when the expat returns, we can say nothing to them because A.) it'snone of our business, B.) it never pays to get involved, C.) it's not as ifthey don't know what's going on. It's happening all around them while otherexpats take off. And it's not as if they haven't heard plenty of stories fromother expats.
4.)In trying to better the lives of working girls(prostitutes), one would think that one is significantly helping a working girlwhen, for example, one is giving them an allowance, buying them nice things,wining and dining them, giving them expensive phones, scooters, cars, etc. andyet, as confusing as this will be for some people to understand here, nothingfurther could be from the truth. Once you've spoiled them and gotten them usedto the nice, expensive things (material things) they start running down to theCompre/Vente in order to sell their stuff, and sometimes your stuff, in orderto maintain their lifestyle that you have now gotten them used to. I sit backand watch this every day; it would be comical if it wasn't so tragic. Many ofthe girls have been in these situations before so, when a new boyfriend comesalong, they re-acclimate to the situation all over again; they want expensivephones, scooters, nails, hair, etc. And apparently, it's not enough that theyare finally living with you in a $100,000 condo and eating and drinking forfree. It's not enough that you are trying to educated them at your expense; it'snot enough that you are paying all of the bills (comforts they were never usedto)—electricity, hot water, cable, A/C, computers, laptops, large tv's, etc.No, no, these things are not enough because, let's face it, as humans, we're agullible race; we want to believe that our relationship is different, we'redifferent, and they we are going to change a prostitute just like Richard Gerechanged Julia Robert's in the movie Pretty Woman. Yeah, we're all Ricahard Gere,and the Dominican prostitutes are Julia Robert's. Now don't get me wrong, I'mas gullible as the next person, I think there's hope, I want there to be hope. Inever want to lose the concept of hope. But let's be honest here for a minute,how are you going to change a person that continues to hang around andassociate with the same working girl (prostitutes) friends? And how are yougoing to change a girl who, prior to you arriving here on the island (Insert: Expathere_____) they were sitting around all day watching cartoons and Soap Operas, scheminginside their little heads how they were going to strike it rich just like soand so (Insert name here:_____) did down the street? And what are some of theseschemes they practice on you? My mom is sick, I need money; my uncle just diedagain; I need money, our family scooter died; I need money, the donkey died; I needmoney, I need hair extensions; I need money, the dog got up and left; I needmoney, the roof is leaking; I need money, my nails need done; I need money, I needmore hair; I need more clothes; I just need F%&$## money. Chop, chop, my girlfriendsare waiting!
I could continue on but, I highlydoubt I could add anything here that hasn't already been said before, and inthe end, everyone has to touch the hot stove and get burned in order tounderstand. However, some have to touch it two and three times, while othershave no feeling on the tips of their finger tips and penises and continue touchingthe stove and getting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degreeburns and still never learn. Instead, the only thing they get is burnt fingertips and an enlarged penis with layers and layers of scar tissue built up overthe years.
There is one consolation to all ofthis, however, and it's this: at the expensive of losing one's feelings andsense-of-touch to one's extremities, all of this burning and scarring tissue causesthe penis to enlarge to such an extent that it becomes no longer viable to needa penis implantation or enlargement.
Isn't life great!

Do high class men who have sex with high class hookers get high class HIV? Or is it the common form of HIV?
In virtually every G7 country, women 18-35 are beginning to outperform men in all aspects of education and industry. Males 20-30 these days are almost a throw away generation. In another 20 years, the demographic of industry will change where there will be less prostitution = closing a sales deal.
What I am is VERSATILE. I am able to.acclimate to many different scenarios and not be out of place in any of them. There are many black women like me but we are a dying breed and the men have gotten confused. We are the best of both worlds, Chameleons you could say. Back in the day we were the norm but now it seems that men feel like they either need street Ho Lil' Kim or uptight Queen Elizabeth. Geez, there are women in the middle of the Spectrum.
The problem is finding a man like that. A professional man with an educated mind but who can still rock it on the dancefloor, in the bed, and will knock the f*ck out of another man who threatens him, me or his family. These men are close to gone, the professionals I have dated are straight punks, and the tigueres have no clue about anything but blowing your back out.
Alas, it is a sad state of affairs.......
Why do you want your man to beat up another man?
I'm with Ccccccccccccc on this one.....who cares?
Prostitution rich, poor, beautiful, ugly and alternative kinky is alive and well all over the world. It is the oldest profession and exists for a multitude of reasons.
Now, the next part I will write is written in jest: After observing the benefits of being a prostitute I often wonder who is the fool here... me or them? I have seen men not only pay for the sex but also pay for fancy trips, buy clothes, jewelry, pay for apartments, kids, and so on and so on. The same men will say that they do this because non professional women cost for too much. WTF?
I ask myself am I not the fool? I have sex because I LIKE to and never demand $$$$, gifts, or any of the afore mentioned things.Nor do I receive them. (cheap bastards) I have jokingly said to my friends that in my next life I am going to be a prostitute and get paid for my passion in life. Aside from the financial benefit I have also seen the men show prostitutes much more respect and adoration than they show me or other women (non prostitutes). I must say that it is an interesting business.
As a funny side note, whenI lived in JD I used to ask the prostitutes have the tourists buy me a drink while they were buying theirs. LOL
UPPER CLASS, UPPER CLASS, UPPER CLASS thats all I read. Everyone of you who post on here dates, have friends, knows or have sex with DR's upper class. I have spent time with the so called upper class in SD and STI and while I was eating dinner with these families I NEVER said to myself I wonder if their kids attend Yale, Stanford, or Northwestern. To me I see know difference between the two people from the barrio and so called upper class communties. They both treat Haitians like ****, they both eat salami, they both think that their better then other. Lastly, the most important the men from both classes have kids scattered all over the island, and the women say," but I'm #1. GO BAMA ROLL DAMN TIDE!!!!

Police are hunting for a knife after two men suffered serious cuts to their faces and heads in a violent attack in Margate town centre.
The pair were taken to hospital for treatment after the incident in Cecil Square at 2.45am on Sunday.
Two men – a 29-year-old from London and a 28-year-old from Margate – were arrested in connection with the assault and both bailed.
Police are now appealing for information from anyone who may have seen other men in the area at the time.
Det Con Dave Wells said: "We are asking the public if anyone can help identify any other males who were in the area at the time.
"It appears around eight males were involved in the incident in Cecil Square and some made off down Union Crescent, Addington Street and into Dane Hill.
"Plenty of people would have been out enjoying themselves on Friday night and Saturday morning and we are hoping there are witnesses we are yet to speak to.
"It appears that at least one of those involved had a knife but this has not yet been found.
"So, we are also asking for local residents of Union Crescent, Addington Street and Dane Hill to check gardens and areas near their property to see if a weapon has been discarded."
"We are following a number of lines of enquiry but anyone with information about the incident, or if anyone discovers any evidence which may assist us with our investigation, is asked to call me on 01227 868336 quoting report number ZY/27150/14."

While much of our country faces tough economic times, some segments of society are in a position to actually profit from the current situation. Those who can benefit in today's economic environment include…
Those entering the housing market
If you've been waiting to buy your first home, or if you sold a house a while ago and have been waiting on the sidelines, you'll be able to profit from the drop in home prices. You'll now be able to get more for more money. You'll be able to devote a smaller percentage of your take-home pay to your mortgage, freeing up money to meet your other financial goals.
Those years away from retirement
Whether or not you currently have cash in your retirement accounts, you'll be able to fund your accounts for 2009 with cash. Use this cash to take advantage of the lower prices of mutual funds and/or stocks to buy investments you'd like to hold for the long term.
Those on a budget anyway
Students and others living on a fixed income are now not the only ones watching their pennies. Instead of feeling deprived, and seeing others spend money freely, many more people are also trying to live on a strict budget. It's easier to live within or below your means if those around you are also.
So when you hear the media drone on about how horrible things are, remind yourself that things aren't terrible for everyone.

Terrific Company
Terrific company. I am one of four neighbors on our street to have HelioPower install solar this year. It was a good experience from start to finish: from salesman Matt McPherson (he's not high pressure) to the installation crew (polite and professional) and follow-ups from the company.

My Solar System Made Us $850 Last Year
So HelioPower put in our PV panels in April of 2005. Last year, paid off the loan for the system and so now any power it generates is money in the bank. Penny saved, penny earned. If my rate calculations are correct, it made $850 for us this last year. Thanks Mo! You can check the records on the google spreadsheet if you like. With graphs of our usage, cost and rate. Interestingly enough, electricity rates seem to be perfectly stable. I was hoping they would go up... now that I am a utility company and all... ;o)

Upmost Appreciation
To whom it may concern.
I felt compelled to take the time out of my more then hectic schedule to inform everyone involved in the entire process of my solar installation.
Personally speaking I as well belong in the service industry where the customer is always number one, the company I work impresses that upon us day in and day out. Where our brand is \"good deeds for free\".
I am absolutely blown away at the level of detail and craftsmanship that went into my installation. Shane, dean and Daniel exemplify what the service industry is all about. They were polite, on time, took great care in their work. They went above and beyond with my solar installation. I am a very very picky person at times you can say obsessive. I had to repeatedly tell Shane and his guys that it was good enough for me, but Shane insisted it had to be perfect.
Hats off to those guys you have a customer for life right here. I have and will continue to refer all of my friends family and neighbors to your awesome company.
I also don\'t want to leave out the nice people In the office. Qwentin and Roxie, thank them for being so patient with me, fielding all of my needless over obsessive questions and just making me feel like I was always top priority.
Thanks to HelioPower for truly making this solar installation a painless process.
I have received superior service
I believe when I have received superior service from a company's personnel I should make sure their supervisor is made aware of it. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Nick Sandoval and his crew (Nick and Brandon) while they were installing solar panels on my roof.
It has been a very long time since I've seen workmen with the kind of work ethic, energy, sense of responsibility and respectful behavior as evidenced by this crew. Mr. Sandoval consistently went out of his way to make sure that their work was always acceptable to his customer and done to perfection. He has restored my faith in the younger generation.

We are really excited about our decision to invest in solar and our decision to use HelioPower!
My wife and I spent considerable time researching the residential solar market in our area and met with several companies and were just not pleased with the level of expertise and service that we were receiving. Just before giving up, we placed a call to HelioPower and are very happy we did.
On top of it, they were able to provide us a very competitive quote too. The installation process was just as impressive; clean and professional and done in 3 days.
- Corona, CA
My first SDG&E true up statement was $14.14 for the entire year!
To say that I am happy with your services would be an understatement. My first Annual True-up statement from SDG&E came this month and it was $14.14 for the entire year!!! I had been spending about $2,400 for electricity in 2009. I can\'t thank you enough for hitting the ball out of the park on my system. I told you what I wanted to accomplish and you engineered it, installed it and got me down to paying practically nothing for electricity. The system is exceeding the CSI spec by about 12% as you predicted.
- Laguna Niguel, CA
The Installation Was Flawless!
Thank you for all of your help up to this point.
By the way, the installation was flawless. The lead foreman showed me all of his work, and informed me of everything he was doing. His team went to the extra effort to make everything perfect. Such as painting the electrical tubing, inverter placement, solar array placement with absolutely no wires showing. Everyone on the crew were extremely curteous, friendly, and helpful.
Not only was the installation team great, the support team (including yourself) have been superb. Even when I mistakenly thought your lead foreman informed my wife that the installation needed to be redone, everyone handled my concerns with speed, and upmost care.
I am already highly recommending HelioPower to everyone.
Thanks again for all of your hard work!"
Temecula, CA
Heliopower beat them hands down
I had my solar system installed by Heliopower and am very glad I did. I had 3 different companies come over and give me an estimate, and Heliopower beat them hands down. Brett was my contact person, He was very knowledgeable about all the aspects of solar energy. He presented us with all of the different options available, but he did not try to push us in any particular direction, he just wanted us to have what fit our situation the best. He always returned our calls when we had questions during the decision making process and was overall very professional and honest. The installation crews were very friendly and neat, and had the whole system installed in only 3 days. I had some preferences about where to install the power inverter, and they accommodated me with no problems. When they came across a broken tile on the roof, they not only replaced it, but left me 3 additional new ones for any future needs. The system was very professionally installed and passed all inspections by the city the first time. Roxy in the office always kept me informed about the progress of the whole project, and what I should be expecting next, and was always very friendly and helpful. My system has been running for a month now and is creating more energy each day than I am currently using. According to Southern California Edison, my next projected bill is estimated to be -$10. As the weather gets warmer and brighter toward summer, I anticipate to save even more. I can't be happier that I chose Heliopower for my solar system. Their cost per watt is the best out there, their customer service is great, and their equipment and installation is very professional. Anyone looking at solar should start with Heliopower, they wont be disappointed.
Response: Pete,
Thanks for your review! We\'re glad that you had such a positive experience and wish you many productive solar years to come!
Our Best,
The HelioPower Team
Thank you for Sending Such Well-Trained Work Crews.
We just wanted to write to let you know that we had a great experience with a HelioPower work crew led by Edwin when they came to install solar panels on our house from March 30-31.
Edwin was very friendly, knowledgeable, a good communicator, and delegated responsibility well for the two crews that showed up on the second day of installation. The crews worked efficiently, with Edwin synching up the web box with the remote monitoring station while the other workers focused on running wires through the garage, laundry room, and closet to connect the web box.
The work crews had to drill through multiple walls to run wire from the control panel to the web box and worked conscientiously to place the wire in as discreet a location as possible. They even made the effort to move a washer and dryer out of the way to place the wire in a more hidden location below eye level in the laundry room. Before making any major decisions, Edwin always made sure to first ask us what our preferences were.
At the end of the day, one work crew member volunteered to climb atop our roof and take pictures of the solar panels with our personal camera so that we could see better what the panels looked like up close. The attention to detail, speed, and quality of the work performed far surpassed our expectations.
The entire work crew\'s friendliness also made the whole experience enjoyable. They seemed to enjoy their work and were a pleasure to interact with. The solar installation started promptly, was completed ahead of schedule, and all work areas were cleaned up well.
We unfortunately were not around on the first day to observe the work crew installing the solar panels, but the panels look great from the street level at least. We\'ve already had a neighbor ask us about the solar panels, and we recommended him to check out HelioPower.
Thank you for sending such well-trained work crews - we definitely enjoyed interacting with them for the solar panel installation. Please feel free to contact us if you would like any additional feedback.
My First SDG&E True Up Statement was $14.14 for the ENTIRE YEAR!
Dear HelioPower Solar,
To say that I am happy with your services would be an understatement. My first Annual True-up statement from SDG&E came this month and it was $14.14 for the entire year!!! I had been spending about $2,400 for electricity in 2009. I can't thank you enough for hitting the ball out of the park on my system. I told you what I wanted to accomplish and you engineered it, installed it and got me down to paying practically nothing for electricity. The system is exceeding the CSI spec by about 12% as you predicted.
I may have mentioned that I looked at installing solar three times over the last 20 years with the third time being the charm, as the saying goes. In recent years, the drastic reduction in the cost of solar components and the dramatic increase in government tax credits and rebates, made all the difference.
Also, very cheap interest rates (around 3.7% on a home equity loan) made it possible for me to own my system (rather than lease) and have free electricity in 6-7 years. My monthly cash flow has already improved by $80 month over what I was paying on average for my electric bill previously. I also like the idea that I am now insulated from power company rate hikes.
My friends and family are taking notice as I share my $14 electric bill with them. Many are realizing what a "No Brainer" this is and should be new customers of HelioPower in the coming months. Thanks again for delivering what you promised and then some. Best of luck to you in what I consider a very exciting and worthwhile industry.

Five things I learned from Ciara's new "Like a Boy" video that I kinda already knew (click for screen shots):
- Symbolism isn't dead. A throne = patriarchy, an open-legged slouch = masculinity and a wifebeater = well, a wife beater, probably.
- If you want to be like a boy, start grabbing your crotch a lot.
- …Or, you could just wear a suit and braid your hair in rows that evoke Queen Latifah's character in Set It Off. Butch chic lives!
- Ladies: mount up. There's strength in numbers. In a group, every time you move, you make a women's movement.
- Ciara's stylist deserves an award. For a girl whose resemblance to Wanda Sykes repeatedly has been pointed out by one of the most perceptive bloggers on the planet, she's been looking smoking lately. That's the biggest thing to take away from this video. If that seems to go against the song's anti-sexist stance, blame Ciara's bangin' bod, not me.
["Like a Boy" video was first spotted here.]

IDF disperses Palestinian riot 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Palestinian rock-throwers lightly wounded two border policemen during clashes
that broke out while security forces protected an IDF team that demolished
illegal construction in the area of Kusra in Samaria on Wednesday.Around
200 villagers came to the scene and many of them began throwing rocks. The
border policeman were treated at the scene.Border police arrested one
man for throwing rocks.Rabbi Yehiel Greniman of Rabbis for Human Rights
happened to be in Kusra, which is 28 km. southeast of Nablus, and was talking
with the head of the village when he got a call that soldiers were in the
village to carry out demolitions.He told The Jerusalem Post that they
went to the scene, where they saw security forces in riot gear, and a bulldozer
that had begun to knock down electric posts on the outskirts of the
village."Pretty soon after they knocked down the first post, some kids
threw rocks and the border police opened fired with tear gas," he
said."One young person collapsed and was lying there. I remember he was
wearing a red shirt. I was told by someone that he had asthma and diabetes. We
called the army to say, let the ambulance through," Greniman said.He
added that it seemed to take the ambulance a long time to arrive.More
kids threw rocks and the security forces fired more tear gas, he said. At that
point, he retreated.According to Rabbis for Human Rights field worker
Zacharia Sada, the army knocked down between 10 and 12 poles. But, he said, they
were in an unpopulated area of the village and the impact on the community's
electricity supply was minimal.The incident in Kusra was one of at least
five clashes between Palestinians and the IDF in the West Bank on
Wednesday.Near Beit Umar, 11 km. northwest of Hebron,
Palestinians threw stones at military vehicles, the IDF said. Security forces
used riot dispersal means to clear the area.In the Huwara area, south of
Nablus, 70 Palestinians threw stones at soldiers, an IDF spokesman said.
Security forces arrested three of the Palestinians, one of whom had a
knife.Some 50 Palestinians threw stones at Rachel's Tomb on the northern
edge of Bethlehem, the army said.

Apple has been rumored to be working on a television for a long time now. In fact, Tim Cook practically said the company was looking into innovating the TV. Now a new report comes from Digitimes that Apple is indeed continuing to develop a TV, that some are calling the iTV, which is likely to support Ultra HD (3840×2160) along with voice and motion control functions and Internet connectivity, according to industry supply-chain sources.
Apparently the only issue with producing such a TV at this time is where to get the TV's ultra high definition panels made. As long as Apple is able to solve this problem, the TV could be released at the end of 2013 or beginning of 2014.
The sources said that Apple and Foxconn Electronics have been in discussions for quite some time in terms of the TV's mass production schedule, but that Apple has been considering where panel supply for the TV will come from, as Ultra HD TV panel makers, most of whom are based in Taiwan, are expected to be producing at nearly full capacity in 2013 in order to meet demand from China-based TV vendors.
Right now Ultra HDTVs, otherwise known as 4K TVs, are more of a novel technology. This has to do with their panels being so hard to mass produce. If you take a look at the 4K market today, it would be hard to find one for under $20,000.
If Apple indeed goes with an Ultra HDTV, it will likely source them from LG, which will likely be able to mass-produce Ultra HDTV panels by the second half of the year. According to Digitimes, "if LG is successful and has ample supply of the technology, Apple may try to release the TV by the end of 2013, but is more likely to do so towards the beginning of 2014."
There are actually other panel makers who would be able to mass produce Ultra HDTV panels, but most of their production is currently allocated to the panel production of products such as the iPhone, iPad and iPad Mini.
Whether or not Apple is actually serious about creating a television remains uncertain. Critics are quick to point to the fact that although the life cycle of a TV is much longer than a smartphone or tablet, the profit margins are worse. As such, many people think Apple would be more inclined to release a set top box.

By Sgt. 1st Class Doug Sample, USAAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 14, 2003 Pentagon officials showed pictures today from the 1991 Gulf War of an Iraqi tank completely destroyed by a 105 mm round made of depleted uranium. The round had pierced the tank's thick armor, leaving only a burned out shell.
Even more impressive, they told of how a DU round had penetrated directly through a sand dune to demolish a tank hiding behind it.
"That's how much of an edge it gives us, and we don't want to give that up," Col. James Naughton of the Army Materiel Command said today at a Pentagon briefing to explain the uses and health effects of DU on the battlefield.
Naughton, flanked by Dr. Michael Kilpatrick, attempted to dispel myths about the material the military has used for the past two decades, most extensively during the Gulf War. Kilpatrick is deputy director, Deployment Health Support Directorate, Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Health Protection and Readiness.
During that war, U.S. forces used about 320 tons of the substance, fired primarily from Abrams tanks that carried 105 mm rounds and A-10 close-air support aircraft with its 30 mm cannon aircraft.
However, health concerns about the use of DU have caused many to ask for a ban on its use, claiming that the material's radioactive toxicity can cause lung cancer, leukemia, kidney disorders and damage to the environment.
But, Kilpatrick, said there is no substantial evidence to suggest that DU is the source of any particular illness from the Gulf War or that it carries any environmental hazard. He cited studies by DoD, the World Health Organization, the U.N. Environmental Programme and the Agency for Toxic Substances.
Kilpatrick said that recent UNEP environmental assessments done on soil samples in Kosovo, where 13 tons of DU was used, revealed no environmental effect.
"They checked the food, water, vegetables, meat, and essentially were not able to find any evidence of depleted uranium in any of the samples . . . the bottom line is that is going to be no impact on the health of people and the environment," he said.
Kilpatrick said the Army has been studying 90 soldiers over the past 10 years who were exposed to DU, 20 of whom have small fragments containing the substance in their bodies. He noted their study has found no cancer of bone or lungs and no leukemia.
"They've no medical consequences of that depleted uranium exposure," Kilpatrick said. "Some of them, of course, do have medical problems. But as far as the consequence of the DU exposure, we are not seeing anything related to either a chemical or radiological effect."
From an environmental standpoint, Kilpatrick explained that DU is found in low levels throughout the United States, with higher concentrations in states like Florida and Colorado. He also said that DU is used in industrial settings such as ships and airplanes and that it has some medical uses.
"It's something that we eat, and drink and breathe everyday," he said.
Defense officials will continue to study the physiological and environmental effects of depleted uranium, Kilpatrick said. Data suggests the substance in other than extreme cases is rather harmless, and the military will continue using DU munitions in its arsenal.
"It is a superior armor, it a superior munitions that we will continue to use if the need is there to attack armor," he said.
Asked if DU will be used if the United States goes to war with Iraq, Naughton said, "If we use Abrams tanks, we don't have much choice."

When a breakup knocks a celebrity down, they do not stand right back up. First, they go to some faraway tropical paradise to lick their wounds. Take Amy Winehouse or Lindsay Lohan, for example. Amy fled to St. Lucia after her Blake Incarcerated allegedly bumped nasties with a German model and Lindsay hit Hawaii after getting dumped by Samantha Ronson. (Okay, some celebs may never stand back up).
Now it's Katie Price's turn. Pictures have surfaced of the model/entrepreneur showing off her voluptuousness on the party island of Ibiza a month after hubby Peter Andre filed for divorce. Currently engaged in a PR battle (she's been dubbed "callous" and "cold" by the British press), she might want to steer clear of booze and men — at least for another month or so. Getting called a "tramp" is the last thing she needs.
Insane factoid of the day: Both Katie and Peter will have their own reality TV shows chronicling their divorce. What?! [Photo: Splash News Online]

Helpline: 603-646-2999
Overall System Status:
Under normal circumstances, employee and student accounts expire 30 days after termination, graduation, withdrawal, or when on leave term for two or more consecutive terms.
Students who are suspended will have their accounts deactivated immediately.
Deleting individual e-mail accounts prior to the expiration date is done only at the request of the departing individual, or due to a personnel issue by Human Resources or an appropriate Dean.
A warning message is sent to all normally expiring accounts 30 days prior to the deactivation date. You will receive an e-mail notification that the account expiration date has been set, and each time you log in to your account during the two weeks prior to deactivation, you will be reminded of the expiration date. This gives you time to contact Human Resources, your appropriate registrar's office, your organization's advisor, or your sponsor to have your account renewed, if necessary. If you are, in fact, no longer affiliated with Dartmouth, you can use this time to forward important messages to another e-mail account you have established elsewhere. Accounts can not be extended past the expiration date.
When you are getting ready to leave the College, we recommend you set a vacation message on your account that is automatically sent to anyone who sends you mail. This is a good way to inform people that you are leaving or are no longer at the College, to indicate to whom College-related business messages should be sent in the future, and what your new e-mail address will be, if you will have one. These vacation messages only work until your account is deactivated.
Organization and supplemental departmental accounts must be renewed annually. This allows us to verify that the account is still necessary and the organization is still active.
Sponsored accounts will expire at the end of the agreed upon period. In order for an account to be extended, a new Sponsored Account application must be completed and submitted to the IT Service Desk (Help Desk) or your department's IT support office. The Dartmouth sponsor must submit the request for renewal of a Sponsored account.

Wish I didn't spend the xtra on hardshell case, for the "gig bag" included is all I'll ever use. Guitar will rarely leave the house and the "gig bag" is not just a nylon bag but a real case (just soft).. Very happy!!!

Comments about Taylor 210ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
I've owned and have played some high end Martins and none of them play as nicely as this 210ce. I really like the neck and the way that this plays over the 214ce. The rich and clear tones are awesome. Even though the music store where I purchased it threw in a beautiful Taylor hard shell case at no cost, I would have still purchased this guitar. Very HAPPY and very SATISFIED......

Comments about Taylor 210ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
Love the overall feel and sound. I learned how to play on a dreadnought so it feels right in my hands. I wanted to go with the 214ce but this one felt 100% perfect for me. Go with what feels right for you. We all play different.
The organic feel to it is cool. I love how theres no screen or tuner, Buy a GOOD tuner, tune it and put it away.
Still might buy the 214ce
Would have been 5 STARS if it was ALL SOLID WOOD

Comments about Taylor 210ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is priced at a mid range guitar and is every bit worth the money. The action is low but no fret noise, perfect.
The greatest quality of this gutar is the deep low end sound. It plays and sounds like a high end guitar. I would highly recomend. It comes with nano strings and a tan color good quality gig bag that says Taylor.
Buy it you will like it.
I play at church every sunday and small gigs.
It actually sounds better than a high end guitar that another person has in my church that I shared playing, which is alot more money. This is a great sounding and playing guitar.
I model my playing after Dave Matthews and David Crowder who both play Taylor's. Of course Dave has the 710 Taylor but I don't play in front of houndreds of thousands of people. Just around a hundred. I highly reccomend. I added a photo and it looks like theres a blemish, but its only the light reflecting on the edge. Taylor is the best.

It has plenty of treble and mids to stand out when finger picking but not at all thin sounding. It has plenty of bottom to support subharmonics on the 2B and 1E string and miced or amped a little it can thunder. The 210ce that I own is a very good guitar and I enjoy playing it.

Comments about Taylor 210ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
This guitar is definitely not a one-trick pony. At the time of this review, I have had this guitar for a few months now and couldn't be more happy with it. It performs highly in any category that a guitarist could think of. The neck is unbelievably comfortable and the factory setup was spot on. I had bought an American made Breedlove and to be honest, it did not impress me, so I returned it. I ended up getting this amazing Taylor and will now be a Taylor guy for life. I personally don't believe that there is a better guitar out there in this price range. Even though this is one of Taylor's "lower-ended" series, the quality of sound, comfort, and build is not compromised in any way at all. I am not positive, but I believe that in the 300 series, the electronics are upgraded to their higher-ended pickups; but none the less this guitar still sounds superb when I am playing on one of my church's worship teams. Overall, this is one heck of a guitar that will not disappoint in any aspect. Beautiful satin finish on the neck, back and sides. The neck is not fat by any means, it is pleasantly slim compared to some other guitars and even other Taylor's that I have played, which for me, makes it a lot more comfortable to play. You can't go wrong by pulling the trigger on a guitar like this.
Comments about Taylor 210ce Rosewood/Spruce Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar:
One thing I should mention about this guitar in closing - is that the bass strings have a particular stand-out qualty on this guitar. If you like finger picking a lot of tunes with rotating bass notes, you will not be let down by this one. It is just a treat to play, and I am now - overly confident is was the right one for me to get. It is just a fantastic guitar and I could not be more happy with the purchase.
stand out reasons to get this guitar
Amazing clarity - especially on the low end
Rosewood back and sides give the best warm tones -IMHO
Electronics work flawlessly with absolutely zero buzzing or excess feedback
The sound is crystaline and bright and the sustain and warmth cannot be beat
Happy Taylor guitar shopping.
This guitar model is often overlooked for the more popular Grand-Auditorium bodied guitars. I was no different the curvey looks of the smaller bodied GA style guitars was hard to turn down but I was having the hardest time deciding which Taylor to buy. I tried them all in the store and ended up bringing home the 210ce. After I made the purchased I was still lewered back to the curvier grand auditoirium models such as the 214ce and teh 314ce. I ended up returning the 210 for each one and trying them out over two different weekends. Both times I went back and got the 210ce. There's something about the tone of this guitar. I'm going to go ahead and say for the price-point this is THE guitar to get in the under a grand territory. This guitar has amazing presense, clarity, attack, and sustain. The notes are crystalized by the box leaving a pleasant bright sound that is perfect for passionate strumming and finger picking alike.
I really just could not justify keeping either of the grand auditorium models after hearing what their electronics sounded like hooked up with my gear. The 214 had poor dynamic response on the high end, and the 314 had an annoying hiss when hooked up to my computer. (blame the computer if you want, but the other models didn't do this). The electronics in this 210ce are simple but top-notch. I can turn the volume up up up almost all the way before getting any 'air' or even feedback in the guitar. It handles the volume levels perfectly on my setup which is awesome.
The quality of this guitar is top-notch. I would have liked to have affforded a better model perhaps with solid wood sides - but for the money the rosewood laminates are just great. They sound amazingly close to much more expensive models and the solid spruce top is really where most of the sound is coming from anyway. I considered the 310ce because it's American made and has solid mahogany sides and back, but honestly the laminate rosewood just sounds better than the solid mahogany - making it a steal for the money. This particular guitar had the action setup very low and easy to play. The fretboard seemed to let my hands glide across it better than either of the other models I had tried at home (the 214ce and the 314ce) Zero buzzing or any other issues with the tone on this guitar, it has amazing dynamic response and can be absolutely whaled on, rhythmic-ly strummed or finger picked all with amazing result.
I would place the value to cost ratio on this guitar as extremely good to excellent. You just cannot beat the price/quality ratio of the sprucetop and rosewood sides and back at this price point. The sound is just beyond what you would think is possible in this category of guitar. I'm a happy camper.
