In just under two weeks residents of South Carolina will be eligible for rebates on new energy-efficient appliances. Beginning March 31st, South Carolinians may receive rebates starting at $50 with the purchase of Energy Star appliances, such as washers, dryers and refrigerators.

The rebates are funded by the state's share of $300 million in federal stimulus dollars distributed to every state as a way to boost sales of the energy saving appliances. South Carolina was awarded over $4 million for the rebate program. Once the rebate dollars have been spent, that's it, so it may be a good idea for South Carolinians to make their selection soon in preparation for the March 31 kick-off date.

Browse the hhgregg selection of energy efficient appliances and then come in to your nearest hhgregg store when it's time to make your purchase. The government rebate is just the start of the savings with an Energy Star Rated appliance. Energy efficient appliances use up to 25 percent less energy than their unqualified counterparts. It's a smart way to go green.

South Carolina from the Department of Energy's perspective:
"South Carolina is home to the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site which was part of the early 50s cold war buildup.  Today, the Savannah River National Laboratory is involved in the development of highly sensitive detection methods to aid in nuclear nonproliferation and national security; the improvement of interim storage for nuclear waste; and in the continued progress of hydrogen research."

No bourgeois sports stadium sponsorship for upscale appliance manufacturer Electrolux. Rather, the company is behind Nomiya, a restaurant atop the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris. The neon purple lit box may be as visually controversial as the Eiffel Tower was when it redefined the Paris cityscape in 1889.

Nomiya is designed to merge cutting edge design with culinary adventure. Sweden-based appliance company Electrolux sponsored the project, which has a 12-month run akin to the temporary art installations located in the museum below. Electrolux partnered with the contemporary art center Palais de Tokyo, contemporary artist Laurent Grasso and culinary director Gilles Stassart for the restaurant.

Scheduled tours, lunch, dinner and cooking classes are available by reservation to all visitors and of course, lucky Parisians.

Electrolux is known for its design focused products including a range of washers and dryers in Caribbean colors, iPod wielding vacuums and futuristic kitchen concepts. Experience Electrolux at all Fine Lines locations.

Paris bound? Nomiya, Palais de Tokyo, 13, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116; (33-1) 47-23-54-01; art-home-electrolux.com/en/. Reservations must be made through the Web site, exactly one month before the desired date. A three-course lunch is 60 euros, or about $80 at $1.33 to the euro, without drinks or tip.

The digital age has changed photography and videography. Traditional photo cameras that use 35 mm films and older camcorders that record on VHS tapes have become extinct in the modern world. Digital cameras and camcorders have invaded camera stores worldwide. Being a large and sophisticated city, Atlanta, Georgia is part of the digital revolution.

@ The hhgregg camera stores in Atlanta you can expect to find the latest digital products. When shopping, it helps to understand some of the basics of course.

Some of the most important features in digital cameras and camcorders are the resolution, memory capacity, automatic modes, and connectivity with other devices such as computers and media players.

When browsing through our camera stores in Atlanta, some common terms that will stand out include Megapixels, Gigabytes (GB), and USB connection. Megapixels refer to the camera's resolution. Gigabytes is a measure of memory capacity, and often digital cameras use external memory cards. Sandisk is one of the best producers of memory cards for cameras. Camcorders usually record videos internally on hard drives or flash memory. With a USB cable, a camera can be easily connected to a computer for quick and easy photo transfers.

As our entertainment technology has grown, the good people of Atlanta are demanding clearer pictures, crisper sound, and brighter colors on their High Def  televisions. In this quest for bigger, bolder, and brighter, many people have discovered something called “Blu-ray”, but many don’t really know what a “Blu-ray” disc is.

“Blu-ray” discs are the next generation DVD. Anyone who noted the visual difference between VHS tapes, DVD discs, and HD DVD discs will notice a big difference in the visual display of a “Blu-ray” disc. “Blu-ray” technology was developed by the “Blu-ray Disc Association.” DVD players and CD players use a red laser to read the information digitally burned upon the disc. “Blu-ray” technology uses a blue-violet laser. This laser functions slightly differently than the red laser. The focal point of a blue-violet laser is much smaller than that of a red laser; ergo, more information can be stored on the disc. A “Blu-ray” single layer disc can hold around 25G of data. A dual layer can hold 50G of data. Movie makers fill this extra space with better graphics, richer sound, and additional bonuses that DVDs can’t match.

“Blu-ray” players are backwards compatible with newer standard DVD's, and don't get me started on the magical world of Internet TV. To fully enjoy all of the benefits of a “Blu-ray” disc, the consumer needs to have a HD TV and a HD connection between the “Blu-ray” player and their HDTV.  Find the best advice and the best price at your local Atlanta hhgregg.

Environmentally concerned consumers may want to make greener choices at the grocery store, but most do not have the information they need. A group of four young designers hope to solve this problem with their Augmented Living Goods mobile app, which recently got a boost by winning first prize in the Consumer Electronics Association's annual Greener Gadgets Design Competition held in New York.

Former Savannah College of Art & Design students Shane Blomberg, John Healy, Seth Laupus and Andrew Reeves explained that AUG would scan a new barcode system for food and give instant information about the product from the shopper's cell phone.

"The augmented living goods program provides a stream of producer information which enables shoppers to make a more informed buying decision," Healy told TechNewsDaily, "At this point in time, mobile technology makes information digestible on-the-go, so the climate is right for a program such as AUG to lift the cloud between producers and consumers."

Greener Gadgets conference attendees agreed. While judges weighed in on the finalists, the winner was determined by the people at the show.

The National Grocers Association annual study of U.S. shoppers' grocery buying habits confirms interest in organic produce is at its highest level ever. More than six in ten people now say organic products matter in the stores they frequent, and more than nine out of ten people regarded high quality fruits and vegetables as "very important."

The study also showed more interest in nutrition and health information. Four out of 10 shoppers rated the availability of this type of information as a "very important" store trait, a jump of six percentage points over last year's results. AUG would provide this information and more to shoppers as they pondered their choices in the produce aisles.

How AUG works

AUG begins with a new bar-coded directory that can be accessed through text or by smartphone app. Shoppers could scan the bar-code of any produce, dairy or meat item in the system, and see things like: Where the farm is, how far it is from the store, nutritional information, pricing history and other available data to make a more informed buying decision.

Shoppers could also receive promotional information and rewards for purchasing an AUG-assigned product.

AUG creators point out this type of bar code system is already in use for many grocery items. AUG Living Goods Program would be a technologically feasible extension to give eco-conscious consumers the relevant information they need to make greener buying decisions.

The boys may have their work cut out for them, but the green trends are in their favor. Healy said, "We are looking into funding options and hope to test the idea in a few different markets within the year."

Meanwhile, green shoppers may consider replacing any outdated appliances with Energy Star Rated models from hhgregg.

Good news for the building industry as Thermador, a major home appliance manufacturer, announced it is expanding its One, Two, Free program.

“Our expanded One, Two, Free offer is good news for professional remodelers and smaller home and condominium owners who want to upgrade to a Thermador kitchen but may not meet the kitchen space requirements for our larger appliances,” said Zach Elkin, director of the Luxury Division of BSH Home Appliances Corp., Thermador’s parent company.

Elkin continued, “Now culinary enthusiasts can save big while creating a professional-caliber kitchen that will showcase their cooking skills.”

Contractors or consumers who buy any size Professional Series range top or Masterpiece Series cook top and accompanying double or triple oven will get a free Thermador Emerald dishwasher. And if they also buy a refrigerator or two wine, freezer or refrigeration columns, they’ll get a free ventilation system.

Thermador is supporting the expanded program with new point-of-sale materials and other on-floor collateral throughout 2010. Thermador appliances are available at all Fine Lines locations.
