more eletrical efficience with their tv models.
You can still keep your old tv and just get a box converter before February 2009.
Remember by replaceing a good tv for a new model creates more pollution from disposimg of those toxic waste material that will evidently end up in a recycle junk dump yard. So if it doesn't need fixing than why dump it? Just invest in a new.

financial lost of $600,000.
The owner had no alterative but to purchase a $40,000. hail cannon
whose sound waves disrupt the formation of hailstones.

These remedies date back centuries historical.
The cannon is solar powered and is ignited by a spark plug. It can be activated by
a cell phone when hailstorms are for casted or approaching. It fires a blast every
six seconds up to 30 minutes at a time.
Does it work? Yes 100% percent.
The orchard manager has surrounded the cannon with straw to deter the noise.
Because the booms resident 45-decibel which is alot of boom for the buck.
but there is an old ordinance that protects the cannon under the Vermont's
right to farm.
Booms are vibrating the whole area around the valley.
