That sounds like 'levelized billing.' That came about around ten years ago or so when news media was coming out with stories about people getting their power shutoff in winter when they got hit with a $300 bill they couldn't pay. Basically it's a 'statistical average' bill for the year. You use a few hundred during the winter and summer from heating and cooling, but much less in the Spring and Summer when temps are more agreeable. You pay an average of that every month so you don't get big bills some months and tiny bills other months. For homeowners they used to adjust that every year based on over or under usage (it might go up $5/month if you turned the AC down an extra two degrees). If they changed that I wonder what angle they're working. Back on topic, nice. That is why I was asking. My grandmother did that (she's been dead 15 years) and after her death my mom and her sister had to take care of the "settle-up" for what they claimed was overage of their average. This seems to be pretty legit though. No small disclaimers and they actually state they don't "settle-up" at the end of 12 months. I'm still going to look into it more to see if I can find a catch but I just wanted to see if anyone had anything to say about it. Thanks for the reply.

Good point, I'll do that. I'm kind of a geek too.

Didn't think of that. I will have to look into the govt. incentive thing more I suppose. Attached pics to show what I would be working with. Remi is correct, but the reduction in efficiency is only about 10%, you can install an extra panel to compensate. We have 21 panels and a 5.7Kw inverter, 6 panels are north facing the others West Facing, we have no issues what so ever with power production. I will say that not all panels are created equally though, so do your homework. Thanks, I definitely will. With a brief search I've already found a lot of companies with info from do it yourself to full installs by the company. Any recommendations?

Thanks! That is good to know.

Sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

I averaged out one year and the total cost per month including tax and any other charge was $80.27. I moved in this house May of last year but my avg. I went on was from Sept. 2010 to Sept. 2011 and I got my $100 deposit credited back for paying on time every month for a year. They are offering me $72.29/month before tax and misc. charge for the next 12 months. Seems pretty reasonable to me. It's a 12 month at a time thing and after one year I don't have sign up again if I don't want and they are claiming no settle-up charges at the end of term. Squeak, I will be looking into that now that you mentioned it. I have a LOT of exposure with a roof sloped from the center facing east/west so I get sun all day. Thanks.

I have an option of paying the same amount each month for my electric bill and wanted to see what people's experience with this have been. There is no settle-up at the end of the year (which was my first thought/fear) and I can sign up again after the 12 month period. I'm sure with adjusted rates though. My gut tells me to sign up for this as it's a pretty fair rate IMHO. Anyone have any bad experience doing this?

New theory I read today that the pilot's chair may have broken before the accident. Not sure how credible this site is or the people that suggested it as a possibility, just throwing it out there. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2039871/Reno-air-crash-2011-Pilots-chair-broken-moments-impact.html#ixzz1YcE8xKA7

Mid?

Wendy P. WOW! Wendy I like that! Oh and for the record any web page that has the words Point Break Remake are unavaliable to me...thanks IT DUDES! Ok, you have your own thread to bitch about your IT dudes who are totally out to get you, do you need to bitch about it every fucking chance you get???

Yes, on AWD it does. When I had to use my spare the diffs made a horrible noise when backing up and and turning a corner. I couldn't figure it out at first. Same size different tread though. Once I put a new matching tire on it was fine.

If you have AWD on the Jeep it will make a difference if the tread is not exactly the same.

I liked the yello car http://www.nissanpic.com/autocar8.gif What car???

You just did this to get people to talk to themselves out loud trying to figure out which way they naturally say it without thinking about it didn't you? God I'm glad I live alone! Although my dogs have been looking at me pretty strangely.

I won't even read a message on the country (windy) roads I drive to and from work on let alone text. With the new touch screens it is IMPOSSIBLE to text without looking too. Wish more people would realize their lives and others lives aren't worth a little text that can wait 'til you stop somewhere!!!

I was thinking the same thing! I'm in and out, no time for reading.

Look you don't allow a cat to do anything. They do what they want and if you are ok with it than great. if not well too bad. Dogs have friends and masters - Cats have Staff. Ain't that the truth!!! I have 2 Bulmastiffs with a combined weight of 250 lbs and the Kitten I adopted a few months ago walks around like he owns the place!

In case you and your gf ever camp together in the future they make mummy bags that you can zip together. I think the left hand and right hand North Face bags do that. This is the newest version of the bag I have which IMHO is an excellent quality bag. http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/sc-gear/equipment-sleeping-bags/cats-meow.html

How cold are you expecting it to get in FL? 50 isn't cold weather to sleep in. Hell, I would probably be too hot in my sleeping bag. Coldest I've slept in was -30 and I thought I was going to freeze overnight. Beginning of the week during a backpacking trip it was in the 50s and my sleeping bag is rated at 20. Luckily I had extra clothing and I think I wore everything I could get on the night it got to -30 and was really only worried my toes may freeze.

Thanks for the link! Oh, and look, they share with the iphone unlike all the apps available only on the iphones. edit: who gets pop ups on a phone? Really?

Just stopping by to point out it's already 4:11 here.

I was going to say it does sound like porn music playing in the background.

Reminded me of this one I saw a while ago.

That's what has gotten me back to smoking each time I've quit. Amazon's plan is actually a pretty good one and something I kind of did once. Did a two week backpacking trip in the North Cascades and only took one pack of cigs which was mainly for the couple nights we were in Seattle beforehand. Went with two non-smokers as well and it was easy quitting. I quit for two months, then I went to a smoke filled bar and got a little drunk and started back up. I took Chantix once too but had a bad reaction to it. I got severely depressed and had suicidal ideations. Immediately quit and it went away after a couple weeks. Good luck to you, it does work quite well some for people I know that have taken it.
