Help Fight Breast Cancer with a Click of the Mouse (literally)...

Now that AR seems to have gone pink I am reposting this...
Takes literally ten seconds to help breast cancer.

The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on "donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle).

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.

Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.

Calculate Your Refrigerator Energy Savings...

Well I read an article in the Los Angeles Times and came across a small article on energy efficient refrigerators.

They spoke of a site www.energystar.gov that is part of the federal Energy Star program.

Specifically the article spoke about what is called the "Refrigerator Retirement Savings Calculator, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy. This calculator can be found at www.energystar.gov/refrigerators .

Simply input your kilowatt-hour rate and model number of your refrigerator for the most accurate energy savings computation.

I enjoy sharing ways to save energy in the home. Sometime soon I hope to put together something that addresses other simple/creative ways to save energy. The new compact flourescent lightbulb to be one of them...

Please feel free to share any links to sites you feel are useful to myself and others.

Kitchen Fire Safety Video! Must watch...

IMPORTANT: I'ld feel bad if this happened to any of you and it could have been avoided by seeing this... Maybe it's because my dad was a firefighter growing up and I have a brother who currently is a firefighter that I feel this is important. Could be the most important thirty-seconds of your life. Sincerely,
Troy
 
Here's something someone shared with me on the proper way to put out a pot
on fire on the stove if you don't have a fire extinguisher.

This is a great video. Everyone should watch it and remember it. When I
was stationed in Charleston Navy base at the Fire Fighting Training school
we would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An
instructor would put on a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a
10 foot pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the attention
of the students. What happens is the water being heavier than the oil sinks
to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force
of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field it became
a thirty foot high fireball that resembles a nuclear blast. Inside the
confines of a kitchen the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire
room. Also do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire: one cup creates
the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
