In response to Mr. Roberts, the only issue I can see with your assertions is that I fail to see how a space heater can effectively heat an area of this magnitude comfortably or efficiently. Please explain to me how this unit can be as efficient as a standard central heat system. Thank you for your time.

People often have a preference for tropical fish because of their beauty, their spectacular shapes and colors. Tropical fish are considered to be Freshwater Fish. Freshwater fish are quite easy to maintain, like the saltwater ones, but they needs a great deal of responsibility. Freshwater aquarium fish reside in a variety of different water habitats from fast-flowing streams, to lakes, and rain forest rivers. So their biotope can be very different from one fish to another. In order to recreate a natural setting for the tropical freshwater fish, it is important for the hobbyist to follow some simple rules.

Good Morning, my name is Garrison Roberts. My wife and I just bought our first home 5 months ago…moving’ up and finally realizing the American Dream. So shortly thereafter we found that it could be very costly during the impending winter to pay the higher propane costs that heating a 1800 sq ft home is…we needed a better solution. So we looked around and found some friends using 2 CZ Infrared 1500P heaters to supplement their home heat. It seemed to do an excellent job in the main areas of their home. So I took the leap of faith and invested in 3 units...they do not disappoint whatsoever. We run our thermostat at a constant 55 F and supplement up to 75 degrees F in our living room, one in our kitchen/dining area, and one in our finished basement that is converted into an office/study. The units perform perfectly and we set them to delay start about 45 minutes prior to coming home for an even, comfortable heat. I run our 3 units for about 12 hours per day for the cost of $1.58 per day or less than $50.00 per month in electrical cost per unit. It has saved us hundreds in potential propane costs this heating season already. I am so glad that I took the leap of faith and decided to choose Infrared heat to keep my new home comfy and warm. Thank you, CZ Infrared.

In response to Mr. Flanagan’s post…You must be an uneducated hick to suppose that a simple space heater is going to be adequate to keep your pipes from freezing and provide the level of comfort in upper Maine necessary for normal living.

Re: Sure… let’s do that.

My name is Bobby Flanagan and I have a winter cabin upper Maine. For those who know anything about the harshness of Maine winters, they can be brutal. I searched for months for a heating solution to allow me to use less wood and save on fuel costs while up there during the holidays, and nothing seemed quite adequate. Then I came across infrared heating technology. I was attracted by the promise of supplementing lower-costing electricity with much higher propane costs for my winter cabin retreat. I started utilizing it in a zone-fashion with my normal propane system. This CZ Infrared 1500 heater allowed me to heat my great room much more cost-effectively during the cold winter months versus solely using my propane system. I love it. I can move it from room to room & it always heats my rooms evenly & comfortably. Thank you CZ for making my winter getaway and enjoyable retreat.

Shopping online makes you addicted of course when you saw a nice products you'll bought it. But I haven't spend that big. Buying online is safe, and will avoid buying in a crowded place that's the benefits I love about it.

This article has really made me think about shopping online! I normally avoid shopping online!

The scratching post got here today and Bella seems to love it! She goes and scratches it constantly, and sometimes goes just to check it out. =D

The tatami mats were not in stock -- they'll come in early February. I got the rest of my thing from OrientalFurniture.com yesterday though & they are still giving me free shipping for the mats.

haha, nice bobby. i probably will track other things like that as well, i love having data/statistics to analyze...

and yes, i will seriously limit my intake of pork chops and rice... wish me luck! haha.

Re: Productivity & Healthier Eating

bobbyren — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:28:51 -0000

you are uber organized. omg you're going to start tracking your minutes....that's kind of intense. but i guess i do that too. i used to track my calories when i cut weight, and i track my gas mileage and the prices of every bottle of liquor i buy. of course none of this is to improve my productivity =P

point 4: are you not going to eat porkchops and rice anymore? =/ but maybe that is a good thing.

we will definitely be eating, sleeping and hanging out. but here you have to do it while it's snowing. and you should get a space heater...i'm still experimenting with the heating bill, so the rest of the house is sort of freezing hahaha.

when i left san diego i definitely wished i could merge the two places. you just have to get by with taking the occasional vacation to the tropical climates during boston winters.

Hi Omar,
I used to do research at MIT but I am back over in the UK.
Anyway, I thought you might appreciate looking at this book when it comes out in April... I 'm promoting it in Boston!

http://brucemhood.wordpress.com/about-supersense/

No matter whether you are a believer or a skeptic, it has something really important to say from the world of child development about the origins of adult belief.

Ok.. a shameless plug to promote the book but these are hard times!

Best

Bruce

i had this realization recently too - that while science is interesting, spending hours in a lab every day bored me to no end, and i'd rather be working on the high-level aspects of problems. i still don't know what i'm doing with my life, though... :\
