How to Save Money on Holiday Electric BillsHeather Sokol
You may consider utility bills as an expense you can't do anything about, but you are wrong. If you pay attention to your energy use each month, you'll notice a spike in December. In my home this is usually the result of being home from work and school for two weeks. Oh, and those holiday lights don't help either.
One way we counteract our usage increase is by getting out of the house for some free and frugal winter fun. If that sounds doable to you, you may find the following strategies helpful in lowering your electric bill this season …
Lower the Temperature 1 of 7Setting your thermostat at a slightly lower temperature can reduce heating costs, while still maintaining your family's comfort. If I can live through a heat wave without air conditioning, I can certainly handle a slightly cooler house in the winter with a few extra blankets. You can also set your temperature lower when you are away from the house, or asleep. You will save 1% on your electric bill for every degree lowered. There are several programmable thermostats on the market that will automate this for you. Honeywell programmable thermostat on Amazon
Use Budget Billing 2 of 7Ease your burden each month with budget billing — it will allow you to balance the payments throughout the year. You'll have slightly higher bills during the spring & fall, but it will lower your bills during the heavier usage months of winter and summer. Be sure to select a plan that balances the total at the end of the year, rather than a fixed payment plan, which could cause you to actually spend more.

Consider Solar Lights 3 of 7If you utilize lights on the porch, sidewalks or deck, check into solar lights. They will use the sun throughout the day to charge the lights for dusk to dawn use, so you aren't using electricity at all. Solar path lights on Amazon
Seal the Leaks 4 of 7Find and seal leaks throughout your home. These can be near vents, outlets, windows, and doors. Stopping the drafts will help keep the heat inside your home, saving up to 20% on your heating costs. Black & Decker thermal leak detector on Amazon
Stop Vampire Power 5 of 7Many electronics and appliances do not fully power down but continue sucking power in standby mode. Unplugging items when not in use, or utilizing an energy saving surge protector that cuts power completely, will reduce energy consumption in a simple way you'd never notice. Vampire power can account for up to 30% of your electric bill. Belkin power saving surge protector on Amazon
Use Energy Efficient Bulbs 6 of 7Using more efficient light bulbs throughout your home and for holiday decorating, will reduce electricity use and have an impact on your budget. CFL bulbs may cost more up front, but they'll save a lot of money over time. Ditto LED holiday lights. When we switched the whole house to CFL bulbs, our electric bill was $10 lower the very next month. LED holiday lights on Amazon
Set a Timer 7 of 7Running outdoor lights and the tree on a timer will ensure that you are not wasting electricity when your lights will not be seen. We run our tree from morning until bedtime while we are around to enjoy it. The outdoor lights are set for a few hours from dusk — giving us plenty time for enjoyment.

Two houses are in jeopardy of being replaced with an office building.
The houses are on W. 1st North Street, near the intersection of Cedar Street, directly across from Parks Funeral Home.
Heyward Hutson, president of the Summerville Preservation Society, said Summerville Commissioners of Public Works is in the process of trying to buy the property being occupied by the two houses. Hutson is concerned CPW will tear the houses down, and such a decision shows total disrespect to the historic district and what attracts people to Summerville.
I definitely dont want to start demolishing property, Hutson said.
CPW Manager Charlie Cuzzell said CPW wishes to build an office building on the property if its able to acquire it. He said he does not know what the future of those two houses will be, but right now CPW is negotiating a contract to acquire both parcels. Details of the contract are still being finalized.
Were trying to resolve some issues because theres a lot of people involved, Cuzzell said.
Cuzzell said if CPW is able to acquire the property it will probably move forward immediately to start developing a new office building.
Were buying it for a specific purpose and well move forward with that purpose, he said.
Cuzzell said the reason for the move is because the current CPW building, which occupies a former post office at West Richardson Avenue and Cedar Street, lacks sufficient parking. The building has neither handicap access nor a drive-thru something, Cuzzell said, customers have requested.
I dont know how historic the houses themselves are, he said. I can tell you theyre not in very good shape. I dont think anyone has lived there in years.
As of right now CPW does not have any architectural designs of what the office building would look like.
It doesnt make sense to lay out a building until we know where its going to be located, he said, adding the commissioners will not determine what to do with the existing building until they decide how to proceed with developing a new office location. The time needed to acquire a site, develop plans and complete construction will take a good while with plenty of time to consider the issue.
Hutson plans to address CPW on the matter. He said he has concerns about the town not respecting the historic district of Summerville.
The two homes arent actually in the towns historic district. The district ends at the railroad tracks, with the exception of a couple of individual properties that were added to the historic area in recent years.
Hutson also questions this with the towns plan to build a new hotel near the corner of Cedar Street and Richardson Avenue.
Nobody in Summerville has had the opportunity to express concerns about these actions to the Summerville Town Council and CPW, he said. Thats not the democratic way.
Hutson said all entities involved are friends of his.
I dont have anything personal against any of them, he said. I consider all of them friends, but I dont feel the path they are taking is appropriate.

Now the Hollywood pair, who are parents to 6-year-old daughter Coco, have "agreed to a trial separation that dates back for some time," they say in a statement.
"The reason for this separation is to better understand ourselves and the qualities we need in a partner and for our marriage," they say. "We remain best friends and responsible parents to our daughter and we still love each other deeply. As we go though this process we are determined to use kindness and understanding to get through this together."
They add: "We are comfortable with the boundaries that we have established for each other during this separation and we hope that our friends, family, fans and the media also show us respect, dignity, understanding and love at this time as well."
Cox, 46, and Arquette, 39, met in 1996 while filming Scream and were married three years later in San Francisco. Their daughter was born in 2004.
Just last summer In Style magazine reported that Cox showed up for an interview without her wedding ring and candidly said, "We've done couples therapy in the past."
"We're not lazy about our marriage," Cox said in the August issue. "We have the same arguments we've had for years."

TRUCKEE, Calif. — A Truckee woman will not be charged in connection with a July 4 fatal bicycle vs. pedestrian accident at Donner Lake.
According to previous reports, Petra Borhani-Bakker, 24, was arrested on suspicion of riding under the influence of alcohol after she struck Leonard Richard Whitlow, 46, of Sparks, Nev., while riding her bicycle on Donner Pass Road minutes prior to Truckee's annual fireworks show off West End Beach.
Nevada County Deputy District Attorney Bill Cornell determined the findings in the case do not support filing a criminal manslaughter charge, according to a Sacramento Bee story last week.
Further, no other charges will be filed against Borhani-Bakker — whose surname was reversed in previous Truckee Police news releases — a spokeswoman for Cornell said Tuesday.
"He reviewed all the reports ... and there was not enough evidence to support criminal charges," she said.
Cornell was in court Tuesday and not available for comment.
According to previous reports, Borhani-Bakker was uninjured in the incident and remained at the scene when police and emergency crews arrived.
Whitlow suffered major head trauma and initially was taken to Tahoe Forest Hospital, then flown to a Reno hospital, where he later died of his injuries.

FORT COLLINS, COLORADO -- This was THE worst experience I have ever had with a company! July 2013 I visited my local HD, and ordered a window to replace one in my basement that has rotted from the sprinkler. I tried to do this last year, and never got a response - should have taken that as a clue! I put $300+ as a down and waited for someone to come and measure. Met the measurement guy after taking time from work to do so. He said he would order it, be in in 5 weeks. I figured the window would be installed by end of August, and no problem with winter weather.
September 2013 I called and went into the store and said, "Where is my window?" They hemmed and hawed, and well, someone else will need to come and measure! I meet the guy once again, different person, and he measures. I complain that I already spent last fall trying to resolve this issue and used them with no response. Now when can I expect my window? He says by the end of October! OK and I should probably receive some sort of discount for this hold up. Cool.
Near end of October, I am supposed to have the window installed in the AM on a Saturday... It's after 11 and no one is here! I call them. Well, the guy had decided to install someone else's stuff first, and he will be here between 1 and 3. I say, let me talk to this person. I don't want some Yahoo coming to put in a window last minute I think... I talk to him, tell him what was promised and that if he can't make it by 2 then forget it! He shows up at 1. Nice man, seems to know his business and he gets the window out and it doesn't FIT!!!! I decline to take it. He can caulk it in, but with a three inch gap! No go. They will send someone to measure!!! HA!
End of October. Call and go to Home Depot once again. Well, they will send someone name of Steve out. He is handling all their customer service stuff for this 'area'. Ends up he is in a northern Denver suburb! And he comes up on a Saturday to measure! He is sick with a cold. He tells me that Anderson doesn't make a window this size! Hello? I have been trying to buy an Anderson window from them all this time, and he finally tells me that they don't make it? 4 months later? This information was finally relayed to me after several phone calls from him and from me to Home Depot!
So, I say, "OK. I will go with a vinyl window with simulated wood look." It's a basement window and I ask Steve, "So when will I get my window? Before the snow flies? Before Christmas?" He assures me it will be done before Christmas. Well folks. I heard from them once again. They want to come out and show me what the wood vinyl will look like before they order it! They called me middle of December to say this... I say, "Well, so first off, I think I should know the cost of this window," and he tells me it's basically the same $1,300 I was paying for the Anderson wood window. No allowance for all this inconvenience. Nothing. Just suck it up.
I say "Fine. Cancel the ** order." And here I sit 6 months and a year later. No window and now I have to go to the HD and get my money back for the down. What a ripoff. What poor customer service like there even is something called that in this store! Believe me. I will go to Lowe's for everything from now on... The middle finger to Home Depot!
AUSTIN, TEXAS -- Installer cancelled and rescheduled 3 times. When the door was finally installed, alarm wires were damaged, alarm components "disappeared", and a filler piece was used at the top instead of using a sub-sill, as it should have been. A slant on my slab to shed water was not taken into account. They are just now making the sub-sill right by reinstalling the door and adding concrete to support the outer edge of the sill, but it's still poor. This visit is the third by the installer, plus another from the area supervisor.
On to the door: Its appearance is beautiful. Unfortunately, it is smaller than a standard door (the original door) and the lockset is predrilled at 33" above floor (should be 36"). Measuring crew failed to account for size of the new door, lockset height, and slope of the existing sill, while the salesman did not make us aware of the size difference and lockset location difference.
In short, I could have done better and I don't do this for a living. Don't buy a door from these guys! Call your favorite carpenter, and have him/her measure to get the correct door, and then let them install it. I am now stuck with a marginal install of a cheap door. HD and their installers have permanently lost my business, and I will actively deter anyone I hear mention Home Depot installations from having them do the work.
CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- I purchased two 70 Series Double Buck Hung American Craftsmen Replacement Windows online. When we installed the second one we noticed its keepers (lock) were broken in half, one completely off the window. I called Home Depot in Concord and spoke with ** (handles special orders) and she said she would have American Craftsmen expedite two new ones to my home.
We cannot lock this window (safety issue) and it's very cold out! We still have not seen any new keepers in the mail and it's been 3 days so I called the manager ** at the Concord Store to see if he would just give us two keeper off a display window or something so we could lock the window and stay warm. He refused to do so and gave no other alternative. This is very poor customer service from Home Depot. They do not take care of their customers! Now we are left hanging with an unsecured window and cold getting into the house and it's winter!
ROBBINSVILLE, NEW JERSEY -- Had Home Depot Installed Services install siding and a set of sliding patio doors approximately 8 months ago. They were and still are a nightmare to deal with. The salesperson who came to the house was a super friendly guy but I see now he was all BS. We went over in detail what was going to be done (of course all in contract). Convinced us to buy the most expensive and state of the art siding, which is solid core and has the insulation bonded to the back. He kept saying how nice our house was and that HD would do a top notch job with the work.
WELL! several months later when the work began, they assigned some subcontractor out, he was horrible!! Although this is their best siding, and it does seem to be an excellent product, the installer installed every piece of it over nails from the old siding that were not removed, only bent down so therefore just about every sheet of new siding has lumps and waves. They actually NAILED into the face of the siding along the top, so you see all the nail heads in the finished product. They sided right over damaged and rotten wood although we asked they replace it and we would pay extra for it. Every patio door they installed leaks because they were not installed correctly.
HD didn't assign a supervisor to monitor the job, so the installer crew just slapped everything together. Needless to say $35,000 later and the house looks no better than before. Unfortunately now we are consulting with a consumer protection lawyer from Long Island to intercede for us. I will never use them again to even build a dog house!
ARVADA, COLORADO -- Ordered 1 bay window and 1 patio door September 20 from home consultant sent by Home Depot. I have had four scheduled installations and four times they have been canceled. Two times I was not notified. It is now the last of December and still no windows. Reasons for cancellations? 1) Oct 28 - It is a big window and we don't have 3 man crew. 2) Nov 13 - The window is heavy and we don't have installers to do it. 3) Dec 5 - The weather is bad. 4) Dec 21- The installer quit. My response: The window is the same size as the day that I ordered it and paid $6300 up front. Do not ever order home improvement installations from Home Depot!!!
BROOKLYN, NEW YORK -- I order 16 windows through Home Depot @ home and an entry door with frames and top glass arch on May 31 2013. They came a week later to measure door and windows. I signed a contract and started my first payment July. They set appointment to install windows July 18 and when they came it didn't fit. It was the wrong size so they came to measure again then they came back September 9 and they installed 4 windows and three are short and the other two were damage. Then they had to stop the job and the boss came and manager came back a week later and saw the job and said the windows were the wrong size so they came back to measure again.
Then they came the third time September 23 and windows didn't fit. They left all the windows in the hallway--10 of them. For a month. I have to make payment every month and I don't have any window or door installed. I call them all the time. I called and complain to Home Depot hotline. They said they were going to solve the problem and till this day nothing has been done. Please help me.
6000 SKILLMAN ST, DALLAS 75231, VIRGINIA -- ** at the Skillman store in Dallas, Hinged 2 pieces of plywood for me and had it hand painted with fences, trees, and faces for my 3 yr old friend ** so he could put his plastic track and train on it. My original plan was for it to be outside as he was having a party that day. However, as luck would have it...it did rain. It worked just fine and his parents had to put some tape to cover the hinges so as to preserve the floor. But ** designed it to be outdoors as I requested. I can't thank Home Depot enough, as you have an outstanding employee in **.. I think **'s parents will come by and thank him also.
LAKE ORION MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN -- I was lied to by the Home Depot sales representative. I told him that I wanted a bay window that would match the Bay Window in my Living Room. Match means same color inside and outside, as all the windows in the house was white inside and out. Match means the same size window panes. Match means the outside and inside structure would be the same.
The Sales Rep cancelled our 3:00 pm appointment because he said..."he had been given a 2:30 pm appoint on the same Saturday." He called us at 2:45 pm. I asked him to call us after he was through with his 2:30 pm appointment to set up an appointment for Sunday as he had to work. He never called and arrived during our dinner hour. The man I thought was writing down all the information I was giving him, plus he took many pictures of the window that he was going to reproduce. He measured everything, but never wrote it down as far as I can see. He had me sign a blank page that indicated my down payment.
I asked him what the new Bay Window will cost, and he said..."he would have check a few things and call me back on Monday, Monday Afternoon at the latest." He never called on Monday or Tuesday. I finally got through a daisy chain of four corporate women that said "they have no authority as to this matter but will call another woman who called the sales representative to call me."
After waiting 2 hours I went through the daisy chain again, and again received no call from the sales representative. It is the next day and through the daisy chain I was able to get a hold of the sales manager ** and was no help because of a very week spine. His position does not allow him to make any decisions or he is afraid to make any decisions. Meanwhile, the installing company came to check on the sales representative paperwork.
** was a very nice gentleman... and when I told him I wanted a duplicate of the living room bay window... size of window panes, exterior and interior white, the seat is to be insulated along with the sides and top. He took notes and many pictures. He stated "... that he did not trust the sales representative " during our discussion about my frustration.
When the delivery and installing the bay window it was noted that a major part of the interior was birch instead of white. The window panes are smaller than the one to be copied. We lost four inches off the center window, which can be seen from the street. I wanted a balance, as both original windows we balanced from on the house and could be seen from the street. The outside of the new Bay Window is built in a colonial style that does not match the original Bay Window.
As of this date, the Home Depot window fogs up with high humidity (Four Times from July 19th. While all my other windows made by North Star did not fog up either time. I also asked the Home Depot Sales Rep.If they sell any other brand of windows that I could select from, and I was told "... that is my only choice, The Simonton Brand."
When I went to Home Depot I was shown several brands including Anderson, which I would have chosen. The Presidents of Home Depot and Simonton will not talk to me. My only choice is to take them all to District Court #52 in Rochester, Mi. Which my attorney has already started. And do every possible to get the sales rep. and the sales manager fired.
DENVER, COLORADO -- Contractor of Home depot finally complete installation of front door. I requested to everything to Home Depot include installation. Then my house had blackout from that night. I thought it was breaker down or electric panel broken so I called electrician to check. What a surprise, when they install the front door, they use long nail to hit electric tube inside drywall cause short for electric of my living room. It cost 850$ for fix so I took piece of paper proof why electric tube broken because of nail hit and I took pictures and go to Home Depot.
They (Mr. Supervisor of customer support of installation) insist "Electric tube cannot be close to door." "Electric tube inside drywall should not be close to door that's your house' fault, Home Depot can nothing they can do."
HOW COME I CAN CHECK ELECTRIC TUBE INSIDE THE DRYWALL. Electrician told me there is not illegal location or location was right place and even staple to the side of front door. There is enough space if they did not use long nail so there is no illegal location, no contract of installation said location of electric tube (actually location of electric tube is right place).
Why I change the door? Why people buy the new door and install?
A. Because of there is no door for house? No!
B. Because of the door does not work for open and close? No!
C. Because new door has some new technology such as wireless network? same for 50 years!
Because we want house LOOKS BETTER. Now the cracking of drywall (they break it, but they insist there was almost crack before installation, so they don't fix it. ugly!) with huge big hole with ugly electric tube inside for one week and no response from the supervisor.
I try not complain quality of the door installation was lower than average quality (lock seem loose, location of lock is not straight), cracked drywall because of the wall had hairline. Cost of installation was 1.5 to 2 times expensive than regular contractor. But long nail hit electric tube and make my house black out for 2 day and it cost $850 for fix it. It takes 4 days already with keep opening drywall because Home Depot inspector need to come to my house check 5 days!! And their response was "electric tube inside drywall should not be close to the door."
Please tell me any customer convinced by this response and agree their response? "Oh sorry I should open drywall and checked the location of electric tube before requesting installation of front door." I don't think so. They think we do not have any knowledge about electric tube, so try to cheat us to convinced me with such a stupid excuse. We are very lucky electrician was at home and that was totally not truth. (This supervisor of Home Depot try to cheat me and avoid responsibility. His position call "supervisor of customer support of installation.")
What I hear from them and their attitude and what I can hear is only: "HOME DEPOT DOES NOT CARE CUSTOMER", "HOME DEPOT DOES NOT CARE CUSTOMER", "HOME DEPOT DOES NOT CARE CUSTOMER"
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA -- Last year we hired Home Depot to replace some windows in our home. It was supposed to be done before the end of December, but the man who came to measure them did it wrong. When the installers came to put the windows in, they didn't fit. New windows had to be ordered, and the whole process was pushed back a couple of months. When the installers came again, we were the victims of the worst possible work. Naively, I thought they were Home Depot employees. I had no idea that they were subcontractors with their own "company."
First, they smashed the windows out without taping them or doing anything to make sure the glass did not go all over our yard. All they had was a tarp one story or two stories below the windows to catch the glass. This was in the midst of a windy winter day. They used a reciprocating saw to cut the wooden frames of the windows out. In the process, they damaged our existing moulding. That was ignored. They got caulking on the floor and tracked it throughout our first floor. Again, that was left for us.
However, the worst part of the job did not immediately come to light, and that was the extreme amount of broken glass left all over our yard and driveway. We did not immediately realize the glass was there because there was snow on the ground. As the snow melted and our dog's feet were cut, we recognized what we had been left with.
For two months we attempted to rid our yard of glass by picking it up as we saw it. The problem was that the area involved was extensive. Not only had the installers smashed out windows on two sides of our house, but they had drug the tarp covered with glass around the house and to the driveway. Glass was being dumped the entire time.
Finally, in early April I contacted Home Depot about the problem. They claimed to be very supportive of our situation. However, one of their resolutions was to send the same incompetent crew of window installers back to pick up the glass. We had already told them that a professional landscaper said the only way to clear the area of glass was to scrape it off and put in new sod. However, we were subjected to the people who caused the problem again being in our home.
They picked up glass for a couple of hours and came to tell my husband they were done. He walked out and promptly picked up another hand full of glass. When he showed them, they stayed for another ½ hour and left. No surprise, our yard is still full of glass. We were then told to get a professional to come out, evaluate the situation, and place a bid to resolve the problem. We had two companies come out. However, now that the bid for repair has been submitted, we are being jerked around again.
It has been over two weeks, and we are now told that it may take up to 90 days for their insurance company to approve repairs. That means that the bulk of the summer will be spent avoiding our yard because it is still dangerously glass covered. Plus, by the time they approve payment, it will be too late in the summer for sod to be put down. We will then be left with a huge area of exposed dirt once the glass filled sod is scraped off. The bottom line…We paid to have windows replaced. We trusted Home Depot to send us quality workmen. They sent us subcontractors who did a terrible job, and we are still dealing with the aftermath.

Tags: chicken salad, chickpea salad, mock chicken salad, vegenaise
This recipe is proof that you can cook old-school favorites without meat — and they're even better than the original!
I've never really cared much for chicken salad. Usually, there's too much mayo and way too much meat flavor for my tastes, anyway. But when you sub chickpeas for chicken and vegan mayo for the regular stuff, something wonderful happens. And it's not just the crazy new vegan here talking. I taste tested this dish with my coworkers yesterday and got an "off-the-hook" response. I think it makes an awesome appetizer or even a main dish, though slightly messy.
If you're serving it to kids, they will love the apples and maple flavor in the salad, but you'll have to make sure you're ready for a little bit of a mess. Not cool with mess? Wrap it in a tortilla!
1 can chickpeas, drained and slightly mashed (use a potato masher)
1/2 cup slightly crushed pecans
1/2 cup celery, diced
1 apple, diced
1/2 cup water chestnuts (optional)
3/4 cup vegan mayo (or, use regular mayo … I like Vegenaise)
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1 tbsp. maple syrup (the real stuff, preferably)
A few shakes of garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice
Head of lettuce — either iceberg or romaine (I prefer the green leafy romaine)
- Combine chickpeas, celery, apple, water chestnuts and pecans. Sprinkle with lemon juice to keep the apples from browning.
- Whisk together mayo, syrup, vinegar and garlic powder.
- Combine mayo combo and all other ingredients.
- Taste test to see if salt and pepper are needed.
- Chill for at least an hour in a tightly-sealed container.
Variation: Add fresh grapes, raisins or craisins! I also like to serve mine with chow mein noodles.

McALISTERVILLE - Almost six months have passed since a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, and millions of its people still are sleeping on the ground.
A group of local doctors and nurses who witnessed the conditions of the post-disaster Haiti in March returned to Juniata County feeling compelled to do something more.
Throughout the spring, Drs. John Gehman and Todd Taylor, nurses Lori King and Diane Kauffman, and Jeff Hoover formed an organization to build houses for Haitians who still are living in tents. Others since have joined the effort, King said.
Earthquake camps in the Haitian capital are swelling instead of shrinking, with an estimated 1.5 million citizens living under tarps, tents and a few transitional shelters, according to a June 2 Associated Press article.
Gehman said the health conditions of living in tent cities are very poor. Some of the "tents" are nothing more than scraps of cloth draped over a makeshift frame, he said.
"We need to get people off the ground and into something durable," Gehman said.
The Juniata County organization, Houses of Hope for Haiti, is working in conjunction with God's Missionary Church World Missions to purchase and build house kits that will be shipped and completed in Haiti, King said.
"It was John's brainchild," King said.
Gehman initiated the idea after reading about an Ohio group who built shelters and sent them to Haiti. He said their organization goal is to send one container that fits 17 partially-assembled house kits by the end of the summer.
"It would be wonderful to send numerous containers," Gehman said.
The structures, which look like backyard sheds, are made with high-quality materials, Hoover said.
Each house kit will include:
One 8x16 foot house with a door and two window openings that close;
A built-in bed frame and mattress;
Two roll-up sleeping pads;
One 6-foot table;

"We'll build everything here," Hoover said. "Everything will be cut and put in packages, ready to assemble."
A local team plans to follow the packages down to Leogane, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, to help church families build them on the land where their homes were destroyed, she said.
Haitian missionary Don Mobley, who is coordinating the project with Houses of Hope for Haiti, told the group, "These people would go back to their land if they had something to live in."
Hoover just completed the first house as a display model to raise awareness in the community.
"We plan to take it on a trailer around the community for promotion," Gehman said. "So, people will get the basic understanding of what we're doing."
Already, the community has been eager to give.
Local business have donated supplies at reduced costs and an area to assemble the structures, while others from the community have donated their time and money, Hoover said.
"Everyone has been so helpful," Hoover said. "We've received many donations, some at-cost supplies and half-cost supplies."
Children at Gehman's church, Lauver's Mennonite, also have stepped up to help, Gehman said. Their goal is to raise enough money to build one house, and already the children have collected $600, he said.
Each house kit costs about $2,000 to build and ship, King said.
"One hundred percent of the money is going to ... the materials needed and shipping costs to Haiti," King said. "There is no paid labor."
The organization is looking for volunteers to donate their time to help put the kits together, King said. Monetary donations and prayers also are needed, she said.
Donations may be sent to the River Church of Juniata County, 2891 Industrial Park Road, Mifflintown, PA 17058. Checks should include "Houses of Hope" on the memo line.
"The vision of Houses of Hope for Haiti is to respond in God's love to provide a basic home for a Haitian family who lost their home in the earthquake," King said.

Just curious, since it also uses the 30 pin connection rather than the 1/8" analog jack.

Nexus is just the GUi for the Ipb-10. Nexus doesn't make any sound by itself. So, I'd say "no".

Interesting, at one time prior to its release, Digitech mentioned that it could be used without the pedal.

Hey FlyingSquirrel,
This is taken directly from the Digitech website about the Nexus app:
"iPB-Nexus App allows you to control the powerful iPB-10 Programmable Pedalboard from DigiTech. You MUST have the iPB-10 hardware in order to take full advantage of all the features and benefits of this application."
So according to that statement, the application requires the Digitech hardware to be present in order for the App to function.
by Brion_Kean on 2013-02-07 10:06:48
I posted a question regarding the ipb-10 recently and got no response.
What I can say, is the thing sounds *amazing* live!
I saw Fareed Haque playing one recently, he upgraded to the Digitech ipb-10 from an hd400.
The HD sounds great, I love my 500, but the tones he got with the Digitech were really quite impressive.
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

Now 34, she's never been in better shape. Her secret? A pro-athlete husband, three active kids and lessons learned from a never-before-revealed battle with bulimia.
"It's a very dangerous cycle that can just start to consume your life and really take over," Cameron Bure tells PEOPLE. In her new book Reshaping It All, the actress reveals that she began binging and purging after Full House ended its run in 1995 and she was adjusting to life in Canada with her new husband, Russian-born NHL player Valeri Bure.
"It wasn't about me trying to lose weight," says Cameron Bure, whose older brother is Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron. "It was all about emotions."
Now at a healthy weight, the star of the ABC Family series Make It or Break It says she stays svelte thanks to plenty of family exercise time with Bure, 36, and kids Natasha, 12, Lev, 10, and Maks, 8, and a diet philosophy that allows everything – including her self-professed "weakness," dessert! – in moderation.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The number of children and adults stricken by the recent norovirus outbreak in Washoe County has risen to more than 1,400, health officials said late last week. And, concern that more cases may appear has the Washoe County Health District stressing the importance of hand washing, exclusion, and environmental cleaning to halt the gastro-intestinal illness that has sickened hundreds of residents.
Norovirus is highly contagious and causes nausea, stomach aches, vomiting, and diarrhea. While norovirus has been responsible for similar outbreaks in Washoe County before, this is the longest running outbreak and has contributed to the largest number of illnesses - seen mostly in elementary schools and day care facilities.
"Every school and daycare has complied with our exclusion and cleaning requirements," said Washoe County District Health Officer Dr. Joseph Iser. "We have even closed our investigations in some of the first schools that reported the outbreak. But, more schools and day cares have seen an increase in cases, and because norovirus is so contagious, we are asking that all Washoe County residents increase their vigilance when it comes to personal, family and home sanitation.
"And, please, if you are sick, stay home."
Iser points out the three most important measures people can take to help stop norovirus from spreading:
• Wash your hands frequently: Washing your hands is the most effective thing you can do to avoid catching many diseases and prevent passing them along to others. To wash properly you should wet hands with warm, running water; apply soap; rub hands together vigorously for 20 seconds (sing "Happy Birthday" twice); rinse hands well under running water; and, dry hands using a paper towel or air dryer. Everyone should wash whenever they come into contact with body fluids (including vomit and saliva) or whenever they are visibly soiled. Wash before preparing and eating foods. Hands should be washed after using toilet facilities; changing diapers or helping a child at the toilet; blowing your nose, sneezing, or coughing; touching raw meat, poultry, fish, or eggs; handling an animal or animal waste; and, handling garbage. Finally people should wash before and after treating a cut or wound and tending to the sick.
• Exclusion: Sick individuals should be excluded from school, work, and all public or social activities. In schools, the Health District is requiring that ill students, staff, and faculty remain at home for at least 24 hours if they experience nausea and/or stomach aches. If no other symptoms occur within that time frame they can return to school. However, if the additional symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, or fever occur, then those people must be excluded from school for 72 hours (three days) after symptoms have subsided. Norovirus exclusion criteria are similarly rigorous for food facilities and food handlers, and due to the severity of this outbreak the Health District recommends this exclusion policy for everyone with the symptoms described.
• Environmental Cleaning: Sanitation requirements for schools and recommendations for households where vomiting or diarrhea has occurred is to clean the immediate and surrounding area with detergent and hot water prior to disinfecting the area with a mixture of ? cup of bleach to a gallon of water. When vomiting occurs the virus is aerosolized and can spread up to a 25-foot radius. Therefore, disinfecting with the bleach solution needs to occur within a 25-foot radius, including any walls, furniture, or any other objects within that area to a height of 6 feet from of where the vomiting occurred. There are other approved cleaning products available, but they must list effectiveness against norovirus.
For more information, visit the Washoe County Health District website at www.washoecounty.us/health. Additional norovirus information can also be found at www.cdc.gov/Features/Norovirus, and www.cdc.gov/norovirus/multimedia.html.

24mp x 10fps would require 1dx's pipeline so its highly unlikely, even 24x8 would be kinda farfetched but it might be forced if the competition steps up. That would drive the whole APS pro category to 2K pricerange across the brands and the signs sofar from both camps point to a more conservative generation, i guess we'll see..
Quote from: Canon Rumors on February 07, 2013, 02:47:42 AMA faster update? One suggestion from a known source is that Canon has loose plans to replace and/or update the EOS 5D Mark III quicker than the previous iterations.Speculation: The 7DII will have newer sensor technology. The 6D has lower read noise than the 5DIII and the 1Dx has lower read noise than the 6D. If the 7DII is even better, then the 5DIII will be looking very dated compared to the rest of the lineup in this area. So they might want to put out a 5DIIIn or something with just a sensor update.
A faster update? One suggestion from a known source is that Canon has loose plans to replace and/or update the EOS 5D Mark III quicker than the previous iterations.
Looking forward to the high mega pixel body
2. I'm much more likely to buy a 31 megapixel Medium Format Digital than a 40 megapixel Canon.
Gimme my 45mm TS-E L !!!
well some people are happy with just one AF point and the "speed" of a MF camera.if you are soley a studio shooter MF is maybe the way to go anyway.
others would love a speedy (relative) 30-45 MP DSLR with a great autofocus system.
well david noton is a professionell landscape photographer... what does that say?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Noton_(photographer)

What this means for us: The Flyers organization has not been shy in its attempts to bolster their defensive corps. With such precious few options available, this is likely to push Holmgrem to be even more aggressive. As the Detroit Red Wings are also in the market for a reliable defensman, I imagine prices are going to soar. I wouldn't be suprised to see a very strong package deal take Yandle to Philadelphia, even if its a vast overpayment. Holmgrem is a balls-to-the-wall GM. It will be interesting to see what comes of this.

I believe that the Republican Party may have been saved by Tuesday's electoral outcomes.
The GOP - which I still claim as my party - was walking the plank of political irrelevancy up until this point. Reproductive rights (being against them), immigration demagoguery (self-deportation ... really? How quaint), mindless defense spending (I am unpatriotic, apparently, because I think we can do with 10 aircraft carrier groups instead of 11) and the suppression of individual liberty as represented by opposing the rights of certain citizens to marry whomever they choose are each representations of wrong way politics in the America of the 21st Century.
The loud and shrill voices of the GOP, up until this point, have shouted down thinking or expressions of belief that did not explicitly and precisely adhere to this tower of ideological babble. Poor Chris Christy; all he did was thank a guy for helping out his state's citizens in a time of unspeakable crisis and now he is, essentially, radioactive. The GOP has become like the poor souls on the show "Hoarders:" trapped by the accumulation of excessive, unimportant or misappropriated stuff.
Even a Republican house painter knows that you have to peel away the old paint before applying a new fresh coat.
So it may be with this past election that permission has been given to those who feel that deficit spending must be reversed, that our military can be better AND smaller (btw, I flipping LOVE drones and drone attacks), that individual liberty needs to be protected at the level of the individual in the here and now (I do not believe that when I have a scrambled egg for breakfast that I killed a chicken, in other words), and that we must foster an opportunity society for everyone - and government does not create opportunities, citizens do.
These are each lost hallmarks of the Republican Party. Maybe we can get back on track. And maybe, just maybe, the next President will be a Republican too, like me.

Just inside the entrance to the Medical University of South Carolina's Hollings Cancer Center is a tall, bronze sculpture of a wing.
How SphingoGene's molecules could improve cancer treatment
Targeted radiation is one of the primary ways to treat cancer. Among other things, the radiation causes an increase in ceramide, a lipid molecule that precipitates cell death while simultaneously increasing a pair of enzymes, acid ceramidase and sphingosine kinase, that promote further spread of the cancer.According to Dr. Jim Norris, SphingoGene's molecules, all licensed from MUSC, could positively affect each of those processes during radiation. SPG103, which is patented, hastens mitochondrial cell death in the targeted cancerous cell. SPG105, the most promising of the trio according to Norris, works to stop acid ceramidase from spurring cancer proliferation. And SPG104, which is on SphingoGene's back burner for now, inhibits sphingosine kinase, also slowing the cancer from spreading.
Painted on the wall beside it is a stanza from an Emily Dickinson poem.

Hope is a thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops at all.
It's an uplifting message for a place where patients, doctors and researchers stare down grave diseases and seek to overcome them.
Dr. Jim Norris, whose cramped third-floor office features an enormous computer screen among piles of papers, golf paraphernalia and boxes of green tea, is one of those researchers, one who's been at it longer than most.
While global cancer prevalence has increased even as treatments have progressed during his quarter-century at MUSC, Norris still has hope — hope that a molecule he discovered several years ago may, several years from now, become a commercially viable drug, part of the mythical cure.
His acid ceramidase inhibitor, the most promising of his company SphingoGene's three molecules, is still in the beginning stages of development. But in a PowerPoint presentation to potential investors in Boston this month, Norris said if the preclinical results hold, then SPG105, as the inhibitor has been tagged, "has standard-of-care blockbuster drug potential in the radiation treatment industry."
That is, if it works, by preventing cancer cell proliferation, the drug would allow for lower-dose, higher-efficacy radiation, improving patients' quality of life while reducing relapse and death rates.
"When we inhibit the enzyme," Norris explained, "we get a cure."
Using the "C" word regarding cancer is tricky business. This month's Time magazine cover claimed curing cancer is "now possible" thanks to "new cancer dream teams" and generated controversy in its wake.
Norris doesn't buy the "dream team" idea. "The cure for cancer is going to come from little guys like me," Norris said.
According to the plan, SphingoGene would start with prostate cancer, a common radiation target with almost a million cases treated annually worldwide, and then move on to applications for even more prevalent cancers such as those in the lung and breast.
According to the company's commercialization plan, the total estimated worldwide market for SphingoGene's products is projected to be between $1 billion and $5.2 billion per year, depending on market penetration, which would be on the high end if the drug eventually becomes standard of care. That's a lot of lives extended and a lot of money for whoever's selling the drug. But it comes with just as many "ifs."
"Now, that's completely hypothetical at the moment," Norris, SphingoGene's chairman and CEO, said last week. "But that's the dream that we have."
The problem is, some seven years and more than $2 million into a process that began with a National Cancer Institute grant, there's still a long way to go and no money to get there.
Norris, who served as chairman of MUSC's department of microbiology/immunology for a decade, said SphingoGene needs another $2 million just to get to the FDA's doorstep to ask permission to do a clinical trial (i.e., test the drug on human patients).
"Five or six million dollars would really get us started toward knowing whether this is a good drug or not," he said.
Ideal outcome
The SphingoGene team, including a veteran banker, have irons in the fire from a reformulated grant application Norris submitted to the National Institutes of Health this month to investment contacts around the country and beyond.
And last fall, a team of MUSC and College of Charleston students used SphingoGene's portfolio to win the University of California-San Diego Rady School of Management's Student Venture Open, a business plan competition.
But Norris can't hold on much longer, lending his own money to the company. Paying for patent prosecution and license fees to MUSC "ain't cheap," he said, and the 69-year-old has his eye on retirement.
The ideal outcome, Norris said, is "develop this up through Phase II and then have Merck or Johnson & Johnson buy it, and we can go golfing, and they can develop it."
But beggars, even with Ph.D. degrees and promising technology, can't be choosers.
"I'm waiting for a grant or investor to come by," he said. "I don't care who does it. I just want to get it moving."
To make that happen, he'll need more than a wing and a prayer. But he's not stopping yet.

Armed robbery suspects still at large
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Kingsport Police are investigating all leads after two men robbed the Cash Express at gunpoint.
The crime happened Friday afternoon on West Stone Drive.
Officers say two men wearing red hooded sweatshirts came into the store and handcuffed one employee, and demanded cash from the other clerk at gunpoint.
After getting the money, police say the robbers stole an employee's car and took off. "In this case, it was obviously planned, right down to the uniforms they wore. They actually dressed alike. They obviously came on foot but had an idea of how they were going to leave," says Tom Patton with the Kingsport Police Department.
Officers later found the stolen car in Church Hill.
If you have any information on the crime or the robbers' identities, call Kingsport Police.

The HaaHa show is back. Join Phil Haack and Scott Hanselman as they dig deep into the new open source NuGet package management system. Phil will play the part of an Open Source library publisher and create NuGet packages live and publish them on stage. Scott will be the Open Source consumer and use Phil's libraries. Will the tables turn as Scott starts submitting patches? Anything can happen in the world of open source.
Oops, something didn't work.
HaaHa shows are nice that's sad they're limitied to only MIX looking forward to it... keep it up!
Tugberk, all of the content from MIX will be online after the converence if you want to check out. I made all of the junior devs at my company watch their Security video from last year.
@TheWoogyChuck:thanks for the suggesting but I have already watched them nearly all MIX10 I meant by limitied to only MIX that 'The HaaHa Show' only takes place on MIX events. that would be nice to watch monthly versions of them
When will you upload recording from this session ?
Not limited only to Mix...the first HaaHa was in Norway. I think there's video our there of that one.
This show was great fun and will be up soon.
Can't wait to see this posted, it was by far the most enjoyable session of MIX11.
This was one of my favorite talks at MIX. The HaaHa was great. Looking forward to pushing my own packages.
In a word: awesome.

Hi folks, I made a couple of mistakes during the talk and wrote up some corrections in this blog post: A Look Back At Mix.
Not awesome!
I stood up from my desk and started clapping and screaming Bravo! Bravo! Bravissimo!!
You two have no idea how important you really are, to the developer community and the future.
Not only did I attend this session, I got the T-shirt!
Shame it was only a NuGet T-shirt and not a Ha-Haa T-shirt. You should get some of them made for next time Scott & Phil.
True, this is really cool for a corporate .NET developer who lives and breathes official blessed tools from Microsoft, but come on! The rest of the world has been doing this package management stuff for years and noone made a show out of it. Even .NET had a few package management solutions (OpenWrap and Componento to name a few), but sadly .NETters are very alien to anything that doesn't come from Microsoft, so these projects never got popular. This is sad as well, since they have some very nice ideas and did not introduce an unholy mess of dependencies on Visual Studio and PowerShell.
To all .NET devs out there: command line is so much better than GUI point-and-clicketry.
great talk. how did you get the VS command prompt with nuget in the path? did you have to set that up manually or am I missing a trick?
I was watching this at work with the volume at medium. But when Rick Roll came on it was super loud and then everybody was like you just got rick rolled! AHHH
markheath - Yes, I just put it in c:\utils.
anton Yep, we are years late on this. But it's here now and we're moving fast.
Make sure to turn your volume down before the last 5 minutes of the video. You have been warned.
NuGet is open source but not free software.

From the Good Mountain: How Gutenberg Changed the World by James Rumford; Neal Porter Book/Roaring Brook Press ($17.99)
"what was made of rags and bones, soot and seeds? What took a mountain to make?" The tactile experience of a book and the magnificence of Johannes Gutenberg's printing press are beautifully explored in this interesting book, presented as a series of riddles and illustrated in the style of medieval manuscripts. The author, a papermaker, letterpress printer and binder, lives in Honolulu where he runs Manoa Press, which makes handmade books. He spent more than two years completing the text and illustrations, and the result is an eloquent and haunting tribute to a disappearing craft. For children raised in a digital age, there is true wonder in the earthy details of pages made from rags and glue, the binding made of goatskin leather, the gold leaf ("from the rivers of Africa ... carried on the backs of camels"), the ink from flaxseed oil and burned pine pitch, the process of producing the lead and wood for the press. The riddle answers, in a refrain, repeat "it was ink, (or paper or leather etc.) and it was ready" to dramatic effect.

The Twelve by Justin Cronin; Ballantine, 592 pages ($28)
The middle book in a trilogy must match the interest and appeal created by the first book while advancing the story with enough surprises that readers will believe their investment of time will pay off in the final installment.
"The Twelve" walks a fine line in meeting that challenge. It returns to a horrible, fascinating future dominated by vampirelike creatures called "virals," created by a military experiment gone wrong. As in "The Passage," published in 2010, Cronin presents multiple storylines, one as the virus takes hold and civilization falls apart and others a few generations later as the world tries to redefine what's normal.
At first, a been-there, done-that quality tempers "The Twelve." As in the first book, a familiar if exciting opening section follows a group of survivors as they try to cope with the first wave of the virus. Then, some eight decades later, battle-hardened veterans take on the core virals and their minions in an effort to end their reign over what had been the Midwest — an echo of the climax of the first book.
Yet "Passage" fans shouldn't be dismayed. At one point the story takes a turn that leaves such familiarities far behind. What remains in the forefront is the fine storytelling, particularly in its attention to character, that turned Cronin's first book into one of the year's best.

Footprints in the Sand by Mary Jane Clark; William Morrow, 384 pages ($25.99)
Piper Donovan, heroine of Mary Jane Clark's mystery series, isn't a professional sleuth. A struggling actress, Piper designs wedding cakes part time in her mother's New Jersey bakery. And every time she bakes a cake, she somehow ends up having a close encounter with a murderer.
The latest episode unfolds on the idyllic barrier island of Siesta Key, Fla., where Piper's cousin Kathy is looking forward to her wedding.
Then a bridesmaid, Shelley, disappears, and her blood-stained car is found. More disturbing events follow as the perpetrator behind Shelley's disappearance struggles to silence any witnesses.
Who is this evil character? Is it the groom, Shelley's one-time boyfriend? Or is it the best man, a former drug dealer? It could be anyone, including the boyfriend of the bride's widowed mother, Kathy's wedding planner and a local doctor.
Like other Clark novels, it also packs the heart-pounding suspense usually found in top-notch thrillers.
