Off air is pretty much free. All you need is one of those
digital converter boxes and an antenna. Once you have
that set up you can get a pretty good picture, if you have
decent reception. Since digital TV allows sub channels,
you will find that you have more content with a DTV
converter.
FWIW: Of the 12 local TV stations, only 2 have live internet
streams. And those are limited to locally produced shows.
Apearently the networks don't allow their local affiliats to
broadcast network content outside their local coverage areas.

TVoIP is still a very leading edge technology. Not eveyone
has heard about it. Including people in the entertainment
industry that should know about it. So some of the programming
that you would normally watch on cable can be pretty hard to find.

If the the goal is minimal power usage along with minimal time to come
back to a usable state, then standby mode is a good tradeoff. As I
wrote (and you snipped), I've measured less than 4W of power
consumption in sleep mode on my PC (vs. 80-100W awake but idle).

Note that I'm not talking about a screen saver, but S3 standby mode of
the PC, with HD and fans off and minimal power to MB/CPU/memory.

There is a nice tool for setting up standby and other power management
controls on Windows available for free download at:

http://slicksolutions.eu/mst.shtml

I have used this tool and found it useful.

I use Spyware Blaster (free) which is supposed to prevent spyware from getting on in the first place, plus
Adaware and AVG. I used to use Spybot, but after a few updates, it started butting in constantly to the
point where I removed it.

After years of use, became displeased with current versions of

replaced the other two with Super Anti Spyware from here:

OK, then form a PUD. It's been done here before. They condem the utility's
infastructure and issue bonds to pay off the payment to the IOU.

Being a public utility would give them first tier access to BPA. (Larry is
also in BPA's territory.)

The other big benefit is far greater reliability. I'm at the edge of the
service territory, and PP&L serves my neighbors on the other side of the
valley. They're out FAR more often then my side of the valley. More than
1/2 of the line between town and me is now underground. They run a program
where they look at the most beneficial place to put in underground wires.
The lines are up and down repeatedly, since they don't bother where it's
going through or adjacent to pasture land, but stick it underground anywhere
the line is near trees. They are also adding an alternative route, so we
will have two routes to power to a junction 2 miles from me from two diverse
substations. Consumers has put in reclosers all along the route, PP&L is
fuse only the whole way.

I've seen both ends on a municipal utility. If they run it to deliver power
and only deliver power, they're great. They also have only the cheapest
customers to service, those that are all packed together. Any other utility
has at least some rural residents with higher capital and upkeep costs.
OTOH, the city can treat it as a revenue stream and ream folks. I like the
idea that in a PUD / Co-op, the election is for the utility, and the utility
alone.

Nope, but here it is for residential:

Good site. Very informitive. I've been searching for a
good prepaid cell plan to use as a 2nd phone. I had already
eliminated from consideration all the big plans that you
suggest avoiding (Trac phone, etc). I was pretty much
zeroing in on 7-11 Speak out. But I was unaware that there
was both a CDMA and GSM version.
I'm wondering why you prefer the GSM plan over the CDMA plan?
The CDMA plan would use the Verizon network around here. That
would be the best network in these parts.

I was charged the roaming rate, but at least I could use the phone. My husband brought his Nextel,
he had no service, and my kids brought their Tracfones, and they had no service.

I like Page Plus, too. But when I recommend it to people, they are all excited until they hear about
the odd way you have to activate a phone. ("So, I have to go on Ebay to find someone to make it
work.........................?") So I just tell the ones I think can handle it, or I set it up for them, like I did
for my parents.

The most fun I had was when I took my phone to a Verizon store to have the firmware updated. The
know-it-all tech kid couldn't figure out why my number didn't come up in the Verizon computer. So,
to enlighten by confusing, I said, "Well, it's through Page Plus." He didn't want to admit that he had
no idea what I was referring to.

I work in telecom and the three words that give me the most

I remember being at the Anchorage airport and talking on my Verizon
phone, when Nextel and GSM customers had no coverage at all. GSM came
late to Alaska.

Well you can go to Ugly Eric at

odder!

Yet if you call a PagePlus phone that's turned off, you get the a
Verizon message.

The CDMA plan is probably fine, but they charge more per minute.

<http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/09/pf/food_downsizing/index.htm>
"As manufacturers cope with the rising cost of raw ingredients and fuel,
downsizing their package sizes is one increasingly popular way to pass
along a price increase without drawing too much attention."
------------------------


Fortunately, the government requires producers to indicate the net
weight of the food on the packaging, and the grocery store indicates the
price per ounce. So the somewhat deceptive aspect of this is manageable.

My real problem with this policy is that packaging is expensive. Buying
larger quantities at a time is one way to save money, yet producers are
doing the opposite. So this particular response to higher food prices
just exacerbates the problem!

Does anyone know of a propane grill that still uses ceramic bricks or lava rocks? We had a cheap Fiesta
grill that had them, and it lasted for years. The Kenmore we have now is only five years old, and it is
rusted through, which is bad enough, but the main problem is the design that allows grease to pool in
the bottom, instead of burning off almost immediately. It fills the catch can to overflowing, and the
patio is stained from it spilling, etc. The rusting is probably caused by this, too (we keep it covered
when not in use.)
I don't see any new grills in the stores that still use this system. We would even consider buying a better
brand used, if they had this, like maybe a Weber or Ducane?

No longer available. The problem is "Kenmore." Buy a stainless steel
model at Costco, who uses higher grade steel.

In the control panel. I don't have Vista available, but I think its

can't find it, look under the help feature or go to
http://www.microsoft.com and search for "uninstall Office."
