      <title>Power Saver- Saves some electric energy</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.merrellinstitute.com/powersaver/index.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.merrellinstitute.com/powersaver/index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;POWER SAVER&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;by Power Saver Home- The Green Revolution&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Attaches to an- plug it in&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make sure the outlet is 70 feet or closer to breaker box&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saves up to 35% per month on your electricity bill. average savings is around 8% to 22% for a typical home with standards appliances. Your savings may vary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Acts as a voltage stabilizr by storing energy for under 10 seconds maximum&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reduces the amount of energy drawn from power supply since it allows the stored energy to be used when there is a drop - while storing electricity during spikes, which otherwise would not be used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Can Pay for itself in several months&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Retails for $ 99.00 delivered&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Merrell Institute is using these devices and has seen a reduction in energy usage, although it seems to be around 11-14% based on a detailed analysis. That is more than expected and if it saves us even 5-10% in energy usage each month, this would be a positive event for the School, saving energy while helping to lower electric bills, with no reduction in usage. Take a look at the unit in our school- We are using 3. 1 for each breaker. The one which can be viewed is in the hallway to the classrooms. Do not disconnect it since it holds a charge, saving us money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are offering this product for our cost of approx. $ 25.00 based on our wholesale price and shipping cost. It requires you to pick the POWER STAR POWER SAVER up. Call us at 631-563-7720 with questions and to reserve one.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Pickens Plan- Join Today</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Have you heard of the Pickens Plan?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you worried about the cost of energy and foreign oil imports?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Would you like to get involved in a National Movement to help reduce our foreign imports and expand our own energy domestically?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You should join The Picken's Plan Movement and become a Volunteer!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pickensplan.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.pickensplan.com/&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is no cost to join, and the benefits include reducing our dependence on foreign oil over the next 20 years.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Check out the web site and let me know what you think.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All the best.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
