Is geothermal heating in Anchorage, AK plausable, or is it just too cold there?

Wes H asked:


I really want to install geothermal heating in my recently purchased 2,000sqft home in Alaska, but couldn’t find any contractors in the area. So, I wonder if it’s even doable there, or if it just gets too cold. If it is doable, then how easy and expensive would it be to install myself?

Hearing Aids - A Great Site to Read Great Manufacturer Information On a Hearing Aid

June 29th, 2009 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

If you have come to the conclusion that a digital hearing device is the right solution for you and you are still looking for hearing devices then you do have some options. The hearing aid manufacturers are beginning to offer budget digital hearing aids as more and more people needing hearing devices are becoming more informed consumers.

Recently, we overviewed the website HearingAidsDigital.Com and were quite pleasantly surprised. We are pleased to print here that this website surprised me when reviewing information about hearing aids.

How can hearing aids help one suffering hearing loss?

Hearing aids are mainly useful in bettering the hearing and speech comprehension of those who have suffered hearing loss that consequence of damage to the tiny sensory cells in the inner ear, called hair cells. This specific form of hearing loss is called sensorineural hearing loss. The damage most often occurs as a result of disease, aging, or injury from noise or some drugs.

A hearing aid increases sound waves coming into the ear. Surviving hair cells pick up the amplified sound vibrations and change them into neural signals that are transmited along to the brain. The greater the damage to the ear’s hair cells, the larger the hearing loss, and the greater the hearing aid amplification needed to make up the difference. However, there are real limits to the amount of sound boost a hearing aid can produce. Additionally, if the inner ear is too damaged, even large sound waves will not be transformed into neural impulses. In this situation, a hearing aid would be ineffective.

Affordable hearing aids are often hard to come by. Even remebering to when they were hawked by the door to door representatives there was never such a thing as a “Cheap” hearing aid. For some folks the cost of hearing devices is an important factor when the comparing hearing aids when making a decision between analog hearing aids and digital hearing aids.

They were very informative with lots of useful stuff on hearing device products and services. Here is a quick snippet grabbed from their website:

“There are many different ways you can purchase a new hearing aid battery. Many drug stores carry small selections. You can also find them in specialized hearing stores or at the actual digital hearing aid company office such as Sonus.”

The site, as any review site would do, featured specific product reviews about hearing devices.

Review Snippets:

“Another state-of-the-art hearing aid from Rexton is the Gem Miniature receiver-in-the-canal, which features SoundSmoothing, a function that makes a distinction between transient noises and speech, thus offering the user more comfort. Additionally, the automatic and adaptive directional microphone has the capability to focus on the sounds you want to hear, attenuating the others, as in the case of several people speaking in the same time.”

Check out the timely review on hearing aid batteries. It further enforces their attention to quality and detail.

The info is easy to find, nice looking, and written in a language that is easy to read and make sense of. The directory was different from most other sites - it was not trying to sell me a product, but provided valuable info as well so I could make a sensible and informed decision.

Basically, I think HearingAidsDigital.Com has a top-notch product that people would benefit by. Certainly, their site and client list are very impressive. So my recommendation is that if you’re seeking Hearing aids then this site has a lot to consider.

Do you know anyone who uses a geothermal heat pump for their home heating and air conditioning?

Dilbert asked:


Also known as geoexchange heat pump or ground source heat pump.

How much did it cost them, and how well does it work for them? Do they ever have to supplement it with ordinary heating or air conditioning, or is it always plenty, even in the most extreme weather?

High efficiency inspection for house?

Jen♄Cubs asked:


We can get a high efficiency certificate for our new house if we pay $300 for the inspection (and thus have a large tax deduction). However, the inspector said that out of all the houses he inspected this year, only two met his criteria. Does anyone know what to expect specifically? We are all electric with geothermal ac/heat, 2×6 exterior walls, double paned windows, sprayed in insulation…not sure what all he is going to be looking for.

Cincinnati Schools’ Environmentally Sound Building Featured in National Education Magazine

Stacy Andell asked:


Cincinnati Schools’ Green Renovation

Cincinnati School’s has in effect a long term $1 billion building project that will help to renovate and rebuild many of its older buildings. One Cincinnati School ’s elementary school, Pleasant Ridge Elementary School, has been recently featured in District Administration. This national magazine focuses on issues in K-12 education. The article from the August issue discusses the growing concern and interest in green building and environmentally friendly construction. The article states that even though the upfront cost can be more the long term benefits of green construction are quite clear. The construction of Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School is not only a gain for green construction strategies but it also teaches the students important lessons about the environment and responsibility.

Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School will be the first LEED School in Cincinnati Schools upon its completion. The LEED Green Building Rating System was devised by the U.S. Green Building Council which has helped Cincinnati Schools write its new building plans and codes. The article refers to the work of Ginny Frazier as one of the major influences on the Pleasant Ridge Elementary School project. A private citizen who lives in the area, Frazier is the head of a local group that advocates environmentally friendly building. She went to the Cincinnati Schools’ authorities and administrators with proposals on how the school in her neighborhood could be rebuilt using green materials and environmentally friendly tactics. Some of the ideas she proposed included according to the article, “geothermal heating so the new building uses the earth’s temperature for cooling and heating, using natural building materials, noxious-free cleaning products and art supplies, as well as natural water filtration systems.”

The article discusses the five key areas that the Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School project uses innovative techniques or old-fashioned common sense to improve the building design. The Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School project will improve the lighting of the schools in several ways. The lights will feature sensors that will automatically turn off lights in unoccupied rooms. Currently Cincinnati’s City Hall is using a similar system that has greatly reduced energy costs. The Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School will also have photovoltaic panels, which convert solar energy into electricity. Saving energy with heating and cooling systems is also a concern. All the new and renovated Cincinnati Schools will have central air systems. The article states that, “Air conditioned classrooms prevent pollution from outside, and in the end, help asthmatic children breathe easier, he says. And moisture from hot, humid days can also cause ceiling pads to buckle or gym floors to sag”

Another area the article talks about is indoor air pollution. Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School project is using less carpet in the design in order to help reduce pollutants indoors. Plans for reducing the amount of water use in the Cincinnati Schools’ would also be based on sensors that detect movement around sinks and toilets. The article comments on the concerns that the Cincinnati Schools’ Pleasant Ridge Elementary School project has in this area. The main concern is in using faucets that have an automatic shut off system or a push button system.

Al Gore & his Nobel Peace Prize - Ironic or what? (Please Read)?

June 26th, 2009 by admin | 12 Comments | Filed in Uncategorized
geothermal heating
CAM asked:


You can check this out on Snopes.com under “The Story of Two Houses”.

House #1 A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms ) heated by
natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a separate guest house, all heated by gas. In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400. In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern “snow belt” area. It’s in the South.

House #2
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university. This house incorporates every “green” feature current home construction can provide. The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on a high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground.
The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

~~~~~
HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of
the “environmentalist” Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford,
Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States,
George W. Bush.

An “inconvenient truth”.
Shelly: I am not being hateful, I am just putting the truth out there.
Why don’t you wake up, go have a cup of coffee.
I didn’t go search for this info, it was sent to me in an e-mail.
Putting the truth out there is not being hateful and if you think it is then sounds like you have a little problem.

Would You Explain Botox?

What is the Big Deal with Botox?

Botox is a protein derived from botulism toxin that is placed just underneath surface of the skin in order to remove or fill in lines and wrinkles on the face. When small doses of Botox are prescribed, it actually paralyzes or relaxes facial muscles, giving the recipient a clean, smooth face.

Caution: Medications should only be used under the care and advice of a qualified physician. Doing without it can be serious or perhaps illegal. We do not recommend nor suggest the application of any of the drugs mentioned but rather solely to inform or suggest that you can buy Botox or buy radiesse fast on-line and save time and money.

Can You Tell Me, How Does Botox Work Specifically?

Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxin protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is one of the most deadly natural things around, and it is the most toxic protein, just a miniscule 0.0000007 grams would kill most adults. Though it is highly toxic, it is used in minscule doses both to treat chronic muscle spasms, and as a cosmetic treatment in some parts of the world.

Botox works on muscles by partially or fully immobilizing them at the treatment site. The Botox hinders nerve impulses to the muscle, allowing the site to be tension free and thus reduce any lines.

Why Botox?

Botox has increased in popularity over the years due to many reasons reasons. It’s far less traumatic than a traditional face lift and the results are immediate.

When someone goes through a regular face lift, she can expect to have bandages on his or her face for several days in addition to bruising, swelling and stitches.

It might be at least several months before she’s able to look at their reflection without seeing the effects of plastic procedure. With Botox, the swelling goes down within a day or two, and while a prick from the needle is visible immediately after having the Botox placed, most of the evidence is gone within twenty four hours.

Getting Botox?

Because of its popularity and great results, a large number of people buy Botox to get back their more youthful face. Without an arguement, Botox is now widely prescribed treatment and can be purchased in volume at online as well as offline drug stores. If you purchase Botox on the Inernet, then you will probably get it at a lower cost than if compared to offline drug stores.

Do Your Research

Important Note: The Food and Drug Administration recommends that you avoid Botox parties. A Botox party features someone, at times not even a doctor, who will administer Botox injections in someone’s home setting.

If you decide to get Botox shots, take great care in determining a doctor. Find a provider who is learned in administering Botox. You do not want that provider to put Botox into the wrong muscles.

Your physician will want to have your medical history and will discuss what you can expect from getting this treatment. Your treatment specialist will also want to know about any types of drugs that you might be taking, particularly antibiotics.
