Safety Tips for Grilling
BBQing as it is commonly known or grilling is one of America's favorite summer past times. Why grill? Grilling provides an opportunity to entertain family and friends. It is a stress-free and relaxing way to prepare delicious nutritious meals on weekdays or weekends. Preparing meals during the summer months on the stove or in the oven increase the heat in our home causing our cooling bill to increase. To save energy and money why not "fire up the grill."
According to the National Fire Protection Agency approximately 1,000 structure fires and 3,400 outdoor fires are caused by barbecue grills annually. Safe grilling begins before the cooking starts.
Check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line on gas grills, to be sure there are no leaks and that it is working properly.
Never use a match to check for a gas leak. If you suspect a leak, put soapy water on the area and watch for bubbles to form. This will identify the area of the leakage. Never light a grill that has a leak repair it before using it again.
Place grill on a level surface, approximately three feet away from other objects e.g. the house, shrubs or bushes.
Keep children and pets away from the grill and cooking area.
Consider wearing a heavy apron and oven mitts that fit well over your forearm for protection while grilling. Do not wear loose clothing.
Turn off the valves and store the grill away from the house. If you are going to store your grill indoors, wait until the coals are completely extinguished. Burning charcoals produces carbon monoxide.
Many people enjoy the "charcoaled favor deride from charcoal grills. They are very simple to use however, precaution must be taken. When you grilling with a charcoal grill only starter fluids that are specifically designed for charcoal grills. Never use gasoline or kerosene.
If the fire is slow, add dry kindling or try placing 2 or 3 charcoals in a metal can, add a little lighter fluid. Use long-handled tongs to place charcoals on top of coals in the BBQ grill and light with a match to restart.
Don't add more starter fluid directly to the charcoals because this could cause a flash fire.
Dispose of charcoals when they are cold to the touch or thoroughly soak them with water.
Never use a barbecue grill indoors or in an unventilated space. It's a fire hazard and could cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Happy Grilling! Ladies if you are not a griller, give it a try. It is simple and relaxing. By grilling instead of cooking on the stove or in the oven, you can prepare delicious nutritious foods and save on your cooling bill during the summer.

The Solar Power Home And Effects On Global Warming
A Solar Power Home takes the action of the light from sun and changing it into an energy source. The solar power home reduces the use regular power sources in backwoods areas, and is now making inroads to more urban areas.
A Solar power home includes, lighting, architectural designs, and cooking. The solar power home has become still more popular as the price of fossil fuel keeps on rising, as well as the toll it takes on the environment. Solar panels are designed to accumulate the energy from the sun, where it is sent to a storage device(battery) until it is needed by a solar power home.
When solar energy is garnered by the solar panels it has to be changed to provide energy to a solar power home. This can be accomplished by a process called solar thermal application which means using the energy from the sun to directly heat up air or liquids to energize a solar power home. The action of photoelectric application involves the use of photovoltaic cells to change the energy into electricity for a solar power home
The solar power home places no harm to the surroundings and environment. Still, other threats to the environment may affect the solar power home of the future. Global dimming is the result of contamination of the air. It allows less sunshine to reach the surface of the planet.
The Solar Electric Power Association is an establishment of electric public utility companies and the solar power home industry. They united in collaboration to find answers to meet our energy needs for a solar power home. SEPA is a network of more than a hundred companies. Fifty are public utility companies, twenty five are solar companies, and the rest are various types of business organisations. They share experiences, knowledge, and data about solar programs, They also discuss policies and technology relating to their field.
Is a solar power home right for you? There are advantages to using this as a safe alternative to fossil fuel. Solar energy is free. It can be used in areas where electricity can’t be set up easily. The sun is not a resource that is going to be depleted. Disadvantages are that it doesn’t work at night. The cost of creating solar power home stations to store such energy is very expensive. In some area of the world, a solar power home just isn’t an option because the climate does not receive enough sun light.

Home Based Business - It's Still A Business For God's Sake
Many people get all wrapped up in the idea of a "home based business". This has always been perplexing to me because it really doesn't mean anything. Just because these things are called "home based businesses" people tend to think that they offer something magical. Let me clue you in. Your still dealing with a business for God's sake! And what is a business? The simple answer is that it's an entity that provides value to the marketplace. And through providing value, money is made. So why in God's name does it matter where this business is located?
The fact of the matter is that it doesn't. All that matters is that you find an effective way to bring value to the marketplace. If you do this, and deliver excellent customer service, you're in great shape. Let go of the idea of having a "home based business". If you want to conduct the business out of your home, so be it. Just don't get caught up in all the rhetoric. When you start to get caught up in the rhetoric, is when problems begin to happen.
You see, many of the individuals writing articles like this, and many of the individuals running ads on television and the internet about the subject of "home businesses" are outright weasels, trying to separate you from your hard earned money, it's as simple as that. Again, and I apologize if I sound like a broken record, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHERE THE BUSINESS IS CONDUCTED. The weasels just want to make you think it does.
The bottom line is that you want to make extra money by having a business, and the only way to do this is to bring value to the marketplace. Have your business revolve around something that you feel passionate about and you've got a fighting chance. Just remember to listen to that voice deep inside of you, rather than some weasel claiming that you can get something for nothing.

Why Men Lie and Women Cry
I've just finished reading a great book by Allan and Barbara Pease entitled "Why Men Lie and Women Cry". A true and humorous account of the differences between the sexes and full of practical ways to communicate effectively.
I've enjoyed the book so much and felt it will be of great benefit to all of you that I just had to write up an extract from it:
Women Talk, Talk and Talk
" When a woman talks she often uses indirect speech. This means she hints at what she wants or infers things.
Women's indirect speech has a purpose - it builds relationships and rapport with other by avoiding aggression, confrontation or discord.
When women use indirect speech with other women there is seldom a problem - women are sensitive to picking up the real meaning. It can, however be disastrous when used on men.
Men Take Words Literally
Men use direct speech and take words literally. They find women's lack of conversational structure and purpose very disconcerting, and accuse women of not knowing what they're talking about. They respond by saying things like "What's the point here?" "Where is this conversation going?" and "What's the bottom line?"
Men then proceed to talk to a woman as if she is a mental patient or will cut her off by saying "We've been over this a dozen times", "How much longer will this take?" and "This conversation is too much hard work and isn't going anywhere!"
Indirect Talk In Business
When a woman uses indirect speech in business, it can prove problematic because men may have difficulty following a multi-tracked, indirect conversation.
Men need to be presented with clear , logical, organised ideas and information before they will make a decision. A woman can have her ideas and requests rejected purely because her male boss didn't have a clue what she really wanted.
Marie's Story
After six months of negotiations, Marie finally won the chance to present her company's new advertising program to a big financial client. The audience would be eight men and four women, the account up for grabs was worth $200,000, and she had 30 minutes to sell her story.
As she started into her presentation, however, she noticed how blankly the men were regarding her. She felt they were judging her critically and, assuming they were losing interest, she began to multi-track her presentation to try to spur their interest by going back to previous slides, talking indirectly and trying to show how one related to the other.
The women were giving her encouragement by smiling at her, using various facial expressions and making listening sounds like, "Uh huh", "Right!" and "Mmmmm" and generally looking interested.
Marie was excited by the women's feedback and started pitching her story to them, unintentionally ignoring the men. Her entire presentation became a juggling act. She finished and departed, convinced she'd done a great job and eagerly waited for the company's response.
Here's the conversation that took place between the male executives over coffee after Marie had gone:
Marketing Director: "Do you guys have an idea in hell c what she was talking about?".
Chief Executive: "No…she lost me. Tell her to sent the proposal in writing."
Marie had multi-tracked her presentation and used indirect talk with a group of men who didn't have a clue what she was talking about or what related to what. The women executives were happy with the presentation and had participated by asking questions but no man wanted to raise his hand and admit he didn't understand.
A woman needs to understand that if a man doesn't follow what she's saying he'll often pretend he understands rather than look stupid.
Regardless of a man's age, a woman still needs to talk with direct speech. Give him timetables, agenda, bottom line answers and deadlines.
Women need to be direct with men in business and give them one thing at a time to consider. Marie is still waiting for an answer…
