Yes, dirt. The ground beneath your feet is being used by millions to heat and air condition their homes. Geothermal heating and cooling is highly efficient, costs little to operate, and can save homeowners thousands. Interestingly enough, the majority of people have never heard of it.

In fact, only two out of every ten Americans are even familiar with the concept of geothermal heat pumps. Why is this the case? Well, its underground – literally. Everyone knows about solar panels, but very few have been exposed to the option of geothermal. It is not a new technology, either. In fact, in some European countries (like Sweden and Switzerland), the majority of homes employ it. The issue, obviously, is public awareness.

Attacking this public awareness dilemma is the team at GeothermalGenius.org, who recently launched a new version of their educational website that informs homeowners about geo. The site functions to provide viewers with a comprehensive understanding of the geothermal industry, while incorporating a myriad of features to enhance both the users online experience and grasp of the possibilities that geothermal dictates on a personal level. Bridging the gap between homeowner and geothermal contractor, the site envelops in its content the answers to many of the questions posed by the dubious homeowner. Individuals are able to calculate potential costs, generate ballpark savings estimates, and connect directly with geothermal experts before making any lifestyle or financial commitments. The result is a homeowner who is able to make the best choice from all of his or her viable options – a choice that is not always geothermal, but, more often than not, is.

With geothermal installations on the rise (over the past few years), it is clear that there has never been a more ideal time to consider the technology. As the price of fuel increases for mundane heating methods, the government is offering a 30% Federal Tax Credit to those who install a geothermal heat pump through 2016. On top of this federal mandate, there are many state-specific incentives that only strengthen the financial argument for geothermal.

Most evidently the greenest of heating and cooling methodologies, geothermal can also be a great investment. For instance, one family in Pennsylvania will avoid paying at least $ 55,000 to the propane company over the life of their system since they switched to geothermal. The best candidates for geothermal are either building a new home or currently burning heating oil or propane. In most cases, the switch is an easy financial decision. Says Joshua Kresge, founder of GeothermalGenius.org, “Residential geothermal systems work; they can save thousands of dollars per year. If as many homeowners crunched the numbers on geo as they do with solar, look out heating oil companies!”.

From its humble beginnings at a Carnegie Mellon University business competition, GeothermalGenius.org has grown to one of the most highly frequented geothermal resources on the web. Its purpose is not only to provide accurate information, but to raise public awareness through creative campaigns. For example, homeowners with geothermal can win free electricity bill compensation by sharing their story with their local community on the national geothermal testimonials map. The site is also supported by industry brands like GeoSystems, in addition to hundreds of installation contractors.

As is stressed throughout content of the website, the technology has the potential to be the standard in homes across North America. Geothermal heating and cooling saves energy, money, the environment and creates jobs. Its a value creating technology that is starting to gain serious traction in the market. Before your furnace or air conditioner needs replacement, consider switching to geothermal. Youll be glad you did.

Bob Timberlake, an avid pet lover and one of the nations foremost realist painters and furniture designers, has partnered with Southern Foods At Home, a leading provider of all-natural, high-quality food for home delivery, to launch Bob Timberlake Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food.

The Bob Timberlake Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food line maintains the high standards and respect for tradition that are associated with Bob Timberlake products. Developed after years of research, analysis and testing, the scientifically formulated food contains the ideal combination of high-quality ingredients specifically selected for their nutrient qualities, palatability and digestibility in dogs and puppies of all ages and breeds.

To develop the new line, Timberlake commissioned Charles Garnett, an expert on canine nutrition and the owner of premium pet food company Plantation Dog Food. Garnett describes the product as as well put-together as we could possibly make it.

Timberlake, a passionate outdoorsman and lifelong dog lover, says he was driven to introduce the Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food after learning how inferior most dog foods are following the death of his grandsons beloved bird dog. He died from a liver disease that was caused by some imported filler for dog food. When he died from this, it made me mad, Timberlake explained. I tried to look into dog food, to find out what was going on and why this happened. We then commissioned Charles to create the best dog food in the world. I told him,I want the best. I dont ever want to have this problem ever, ever again.

To bring the Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food to pet owners, Timberlake has partnered with Southern Foods At Home. For the longest time, weve focused on providing the best of the best food products available to families. But weve always left out one of the best and most loyal members of the family, the family dog. This is our way of being able to take care of that special member of the family, said Southern Foods At Home President Trey Pounders. Weve done everything we can to make sure the dog food is the best food available on the market today.

As part of their launch of the Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food, Timberlake and Southern Foods At Home will be hosting a party beginning at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, September 20, 2011, at the Bob Timberlake Gallery, located at 1714 East Center Street Extension, Lexington, NC 27292. The event, which is open to members of the media, will benefit K9s for Warriors, an organization that raises awareness and funds to provide service dogs to wounded military members. A donation will be made for each bag of dog food sold, and the organization will also receive a large supply of Bob Timberlake Signature Series Super-Premium Dog Food.

Alpine Access, Inc., the premier provider of virtual contact center solutions and services, has designated NTI, a disability organization that places Americans with disabilities in work-at-home jobs, as a preferred referral partner for high-quality employee candidates. Together, Alpine Access and NTI will be recruiting and training an initial group of over 250 disabled Americans to support Alpine Access clients, with even more expansive hiring plans expected in 2012. Alpine Access made this decision after working closely with NTI for more than six years, jointly operating the Forms and Publications at-home contact center program for the Internal Revenue Service.

The targeted hiring drive represents welcome news for the nations disabled population. According to the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Labor, over 41 million Americans currently deal with the challenges of disability, including an unemployment rate in excess of 72%. In addition, 13 million Americans have a go-outside-the-home disability which prevents them from pursuing traditional employment. The partnership between Alpine Access and NTI will bring valuable home-based jobs to a group of highly-skilled people who have historically been disadvantaged in pursuing professional work opportunities.

A key part of Alpine Access vision is to transform how and where the world works. Our virtual model brings the work to the employees, rather than the old approach of forcing employees to come into an office, commented Chad W. Lyne, VP of Strategy at Alpine Access. While this innovative approach has allowed us to provide meaningful careers for over 5,000 home-based employees, it is also particularly well suited for the disabled workforce that NTI serves. We have worked with NTI over the past six years and have witnessed first-hand the professionalism, dedication, and quality of their agents, making it an easy decision to expand our partnership with them.

NTI is encouraged that forward-thinking organizations like Alpine Access see both the business and social value of employing hard-working disabled Americans. Commenting on the partnership, M.J. Willard, NTIs Executive Director said, Our relationship with Alpine Access confirms that people with disabilities perform as well as those without. Callers want customer service agents to treat them respectfully and professionally, and to resolve their problems. The NTI selection and training process equips our agents to do that, and theres no charge for the American accent, she adds, referring to an advantage over offshore agents.

About NTI:

NTI, a 501(c)(3) non-profit disability organization, pioneered staffing virtual call centers with Americans with disabilities who work from home. It provides highly qualified “NTI CertifiedTM” American-speaking agents to both commercial and government organizations, such as the IRS. For more information, visit http://www.NTIcentral.Org.

According the Farmers Almanac online, the 2012 winter season is predicted to be unusually cold and stormy including a frigid climate, and lots of rain and snow. And worst of all, last years (2011) Farmers Almanac predictions did indeed come to fruition.

Tom Gillece, Owner and President of Gillece Services is busy preparing his experienced staff of Plumbers, Heating Technicians, and Electricians to advise homeowners and clients of the importance of winterizing their homes. Says Tom, The more the customer can do ahead of time, preparedly, the more they will save in the long run both in time and money and, they will have peace of mind knowing that their loved ones are cozy, safe and warm with all the comforts of home.

Gillece Services has been serving the Pittsburgh area and the surrounding five counties for over 30 winter seasons to date and has no sign of slowing down, as the company is currently in the recruiting process for Plumbers, Heating Technicians, and Electricians, as well as apprentices across all industry trades. Home winterization expertise with Gillece Services emphasizes three key areas Furnace Inspection, Carbon Monoxide Detection and Plumbing Freezes Prevention.
