Comment on Building Green Homes Breaks Into the Mainstream in Northern Cali by LemonMeister

LemonMeister — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:10:16 +0000

Don’t believe every press release put on by KB Home. My Green home built by KB Home is Yellow. Also known as a lemon! KB’s has hype but they don’t put any quality in their homes. Who actually owns “Build It Green”? Most likely some special interest who has to gain by sending out these press releases. What 3rd party will verify KB Home and their energy efficient rating? And I don’t mean the model home… An Independent sample – not from a list KB of homes is offering. Just Google “KB Home Sucks” to see the many disenfranchised KB Homeowners who KB thinks it can forget… NOT!

There is an error in your listing in Best Director Drama Series. Tina Cesa Ward from Anyone But Me is the only director on the series. So it should read Anyone But Me, Tina Cesa Ward

Comment on Neck Traction Designed To Relieve Neck Pain – Looks Comfortable To Me! by Atlanta Chiropractor

Atlanta Chiropractor — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 15:24:24 +0000

This device could bring some pain relief to some people depending on their condition and severity. Devices like this one are used for intervertebral decompression. Intervertebral decompression can help control pain associated with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, and bulging discs, which can put pinch nerves.

What this device basically does is increase the space between 2 vertebrae, releasing pressure on nerves. This may not work for everyone but it’s a safe, non-invasive alternative for nagging neck pain or numbness and tingling in the arms and hands.

Comment on Count the Ways to Connect Consumers to the Smart Grid by Mitch Mitchell

Mitch Mitchell — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 22:47:31 +0000

There are many reasons for the utilities to upgrade the grid infrastructure and it will happen. But what is even more powerful is we know that consumers are becoming more engaged in their electricity consumption.

We know access to better information – real time information can make a huge difference. There are many academic, utility sponsored and manufacturer sponsored research studies and the general conclusion is just better information alone can reduce consumption by 5-15%. For a family spending $100 – $250 per month on electricity that’s a big deal.

The utilities will bring solutions to the market, but there are proven energy monitoring options on the market today. For as little as $100 families could gain access to this real time information and take control of this important issue.

We have been in the business of real time electricity information since 2003 and it’s gratifying to see this momentum. Visit us at http://www.bluelineinnovations.com for more information.

Comment on Buy Office 2007, get 2010 free? Microsoft posts, pulls deal by Didos

You should also try SSuite Office for a free office suite. They have a whole range of office suites that are free for download.

Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient.
