Almost two months ago, Astralux introduced the Energy Partners Program™ and it has quickly become a huge hit. Part of our newly introduced SolarCare™ Package - the Energy Partners Program offers substantial rebates to Astralux customers who gather 3 or more people in their neighborhood or community to go solar. These group rebates can be as high as $500 per kilowatt, meaning thousands of dollars off an already heavily subsidized solar energy system.

In just the first month of this program, dozens of homeowners have gathered “Energy Partners” in their communities to enjoy this extra solar energy discount.

With no middleman to gather these community groups, like One Block off the Grid (1BOG) and other similar companies, there are no referral fees for Astralux to pay. The group discounts go directly to the customer. Thus, the Energy Partners Program promotes widespread adoption by further reducing the cost of solar installation.

So what makes the Energy Partners Program so…

What’s the world coming to when your freakin’ flip-flops are laced with toxic chemicals dangerous to human health and the environment?

I mean, the main pillar of my decades-old No Socks policy between May and September include the purchase of a new pair beginning each spring…..INSERT EXPLETIVE-FUELED RANT HERE:

So, when I saw the headline in the Manila Bulletin “Sandals, flip-flops found with harmful chemicals” it really harshed my mellow.

Then there’s this from yesterday’s Business Report:

“In a study released last week, the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC) found high levels of a toxic chemical known as diethyl-hexyl phthalate (DEHP) in 17 out of 27 pairs of shoes manufactured in various countries including India, Indonesia, Tanzania, The Philippines, Sweden and South Africa.

The chemical can cause cancer, severe damage to a developing fetus and the central nervous system.”

Now, I love the Swedes and all…

October is a great time of year to visit New Hampshire - and one of the most popular holiday weekends is Columbus Day when the foliage is at its best.

If you are thinking of building a new green home, building a home addition, or renovating your existing home, you won’t want to miss a Free Green Home Seminar in Newbury, NH (right across from scenic Mt. Sunapee) and an Open House of a Timberpeg green home (under construction) on Sunday, October 11th, Columbus Day weekend.

The seminar and open house are hosted by Bonin Architects & Associates, PLLC and Old Hampshire Designs and are open to the public. Here are the details:

Every school year, my kids come to me and ask for school locks. I inevitably buy more locks because I forgot to save the combinations. This year the whole idea of buying new locks just irked me when I was staring at 5 perfectly good locks that I could not open. I even put the locks up to my ear trying to hear the tumblers as I went left, right, left. Who was I kidding? A lock picker, I am not.

Figuring Master Lock must have some way to re-discover your lock combination, I was pleasantly surprised to see a section on how to recover your old lock combination by simply filling out an affidavit and providing copies of the back of your locks.  You can request up to 6 lock combination.  More than that, contact the Company.

Believe me.  Xeroxing the back of the locks has not been an easy feat.  Still working on it.  Note, you can only find out your combination for locks that have serial numbers on the back.

According to the website, Master Lock no longer…
