Dear Amy: I am sometimes at a loss when people ask personal questions. For example, when I recently told someone I was collecting Social Security, she asked, "How much do you get?"
Unfortunately, I didn't think fast enough to say something like "I'd rather not say." Instead, I made up a number.
People often ask questions of a personal nature not related to money. What is the most polite way to answer, while indicating that it is none of their beeswax?

Emergency prep rule for long-term care should specify amount of supplies to have on hand, advocacy group says
Long-term care facilities should have specified amounts of fuel and supplies on hand as part of a forthcoming regulation on disaster preparedness, a prominent consumer advocacy group argues.
Nursing homes, hospitals and other healthcare facilities were hit hard by the Sept. 11 attacks and subsequent natural disasters such as Hurricane Sandy, showing the need for more comprehensive planning, according to a 120-page proposed emergency preparedness rule issued in December by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care — representing residents, families, ombudsmen and other stakeholders — supports that proposal, the organization stated in an official comment to CMS.
Consumer Voice did urge CMS to tighten the rule by including "the number of days worth" of fuel and supplies that long-term care facilities should have on hand.
"That amount should take into consideration their location, specifically how long it might take for supplies to get to their area, and most frequent types of emergencies," wrote Robyn Grant, director of public policy and advocacy, in the comment dated March 30. Expiration dates also should be reviewed to ensure all supplies remain usable, she added.
Some prominent healthcare provider associations are pushing back against the proposed rule, The New York Times reported earlier this month. They say the costs and burden of compliance would be crushing for some facilities, which might have to upgrade fire, lighting, waste disposal and other systems.
The American Hospital Association and other organizations say these updates would push costs well beyond CMS estimates, which are an average of $8,000 a year for hospitals and $1,200 for skilled nursing facilities.
The government has three years to finalize the rule, the Times noted.

Salford Brass players – unbelievable!Thursday, February 14th, 2008
Just about to do a performance with BBC Philharmonic musicians and the quite brilliant brass players from Salford University. We've written a piece together that is inventive, powerful and origanal. Based around ideas from John Tavener's Protecting Veil, a piece lasting over 30′ has emerged, much of it invented by the student participants, and we also have dancers who have created their own original choreography. I've been amazed by the brass players – not only their technical skills and sheer beauty of sound, but they're such a great bunch too! It's been a very good week. The show is going to be recorded by BBC Radio 3 for later broadcast on Discovering Music. Look out for it.
It's always wonderful doing these projects; remembering just how much talent there is in the world, and what an inspiration it is to work with young people, engaging with their imaginations and energy.

By Chesney Hearst, Senior Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – The Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio de Janeiro is currently hosting the hyper-realist sculptures of Australian Ron Mueck. The exhibition, which includes nine photo-realistic sculptures and a documentary offering a rare glimpse of the reclusive artist at work, will continue through the month of May until June 1st.
This traveling exhibition begin at the Fondation Cartier pour l'Art Contemporain, in Paris, in April 2013 and moved next to the Fundación Proa, in Buenos Aires. It then opened at Rio's MAM on March 20th.
The nine photo-realist sculptures on display are created by Mueck with fiberglass, resin, silicone, and acrylic fiber. Mueck is well known for the extraordinarily lifelike details he creates in his sculptures of humans. The sizes of his pieces are also critical as Mueck plays will scale, making bigger things small and additionally often capturing smaller moments and reproducing them at superhuman sizes.
Currently based in London, Mueck was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1958. He began his career working as puppeteer and model-maker. For fifteen years he honed those skills as he produced special effects for children's television programs. He then moved into special effects for films including work on 1986's fantasy epic, "Labyrinth."
Following that Mueck founded his own company to produce models for advertisement photographs. He then turned to fine art and sculpture, feeling that photography took away from the physical presence of the original works. Mueck's own image appears in the current exhibition through his work Mask II. Created in 2001-2002, the work is a oversized representation of Mueck's head on its side as he lays sleeping.
In his work, Woman with sticks (2008), Mueck makes larger issues small. He 180cm-tall model of naked woman is depicted bending back due to the burden of the weight of the huge bundle of willow sticks she is attempting to carry. In Drift, Mueck depicts a man in swim trunks and sunglasses floating on his back, arms outstretched. Created at 2/3-scale, the figure of the man is on an inflatable raft drifting in place where it is hung on the wall of the gallery.
Mueck's Youth(2009) is a 65cm tall model of a young black man lifting up his shirt to examine a bloody wound on his abdomen. In the Mueck work Still Life a non-human figured is represented as a giant plucked chicken hangs upside by its feet from the ceiling.
Three more of the nine pieces on display were created especially for the traveling exhibition. One of those works, Couple Under An Umbrella (2013), depicts a larger-than-life elderly couple in their bathing suits at rest under an equally oversized umbrella.
"They seem to be frozen moments of life, each capturing the relationship between two human beings," the Fondation Cartier wrote of the sculptures. "The nature of their connection to each other is revealed by their actions, small, ordinary, yet intriguing. The precision of their gestures, the true to life rendering of their flesh, the suggestion of suppleness in their skin makes them seem completely real."
Additionally during the exhibition, a documentary film showing the usually private Mueck at work will screen. Shot by friend and colleague of Muek, photographer Gautier Deblonde, the documentary captures two years of Mueck at work in his studio.
"What struck me was how quickly they come alive," Deblonde told The Independent when explaining his experience while filming Mueck sculpt. "The first part is the clay, and this is almost like the negative of his work: all the details you need to have a human body alive."
What: Ron Mueck Exhibition
When: March 20th through June 1st. Open Tuesdays through Fridays 12PM – 6PM, Sundays and holidays 11AM – 6PM.
Where: Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM) Av. Infante Dom Henrique 85, Parque do Flamengo
Entrance: R$7-R$14 Available Online here.

EMU to retire Boykins' jersey
Four-year guard played for Eagles from 1994-98
YPSILANTI, Mich. -- One of the greatest players in Eastern Michigan University men's basketball history will have his jersey retired Sunday, Feb. 27.
Guard Earl Boykins, a four-year letterman for the Eagles from 1994-98, and an honorable mention All-American as a senior, will be the fourth EMU basketball player to have his jersey raised to the rafters.
Boykins' No. 11 jersey will join former men's greats George Gervin, Grant Long and Kennedy McIntosh along with women's standout Laurie Byrd as the only basketball players to have their jerseys retired.
Boykins will be honored at halftime of the EMU-Western Michigan University Mid-American Conference West Division game which is set for a 2:07 p.m. start, Feb. 27, in the Convocation Center.
The first 500 fans will receive a free Boykins "Shersey" at the game. All EMU alumni can attend the game for $3 which includes a hot dog, pop and ticket. Anyone 18 or over can enter to win an IPad.
Boykins began his career as a freshman in 1994-95 and became an instant starter at point guard, a position he would own for four consecutive years.
Boykins averaged 12.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in his first season and helped the Eagles finish with a 20-10 record and a berth in the NIT post-season tournament.
In his sophomore season, Boykins averaged 15.5 points and 5.8 assists as the Eagles recorded a 25-6 overall record, a Mid-American Conference Championship with a 14-4 record and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The 5-foot-5 Boykins helped the Eagles defeat Duke in the first round of the NCAA before bowing out to a No. 1 seeded UConn team.
He was even better as a junior, scoring 19.1 points a game and averaging 4.7 assists as EMU finished with a 22-10 mark.
The star point guard saved his best play for his senior year, finishing second in the nation in scoring at 25.7 points a game, earning the MAC Most Valuable Player Award at the league tournament and being named an honorable mention All-American. The Eagles were 20-10 that year, winning the MAC Tournament title and earning another NCAA Tournament bid, losing to Michigan State in the first round.
He left EMU as the second-leading scorer in history with 2,211 points and is still playing professional basketball, this season with the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks.

|Love my new bag from shoe dazzle, although it's empty right now, lol!
I was looking for a little mindless sewing on yesterday, and seeing that I went to Jo-Ann's this past weekend and picked up two yards of black ponte knit; I knew just the pattern that would do the trick. I would say hands down that this would have to be my most worn D.I.Y garment that I've made. It's comfortable, yet chic and really easy to wear, so a plus in my book..
|Made the grey dress last year this time!
I didn't do anything different from the previous version of this dress, other than take an inch off the hem and hem the dress with a 5/8th hem allowance. This dress is seriously long, and for reference I'm 5'7 and with 4" heels this dress was still dragging the ground, so this pattern does run pretty long..
I also stabilized the back shoulder seams with clear elastic, seeing that I used a beefier knit this go round, and I didn't want to run the risk of my shoulder seams stretching out of place. I have finished my Lady Skater dress, but this is what I wore this morning so decided to snap a few pics.. I can already tell that this dress will be in heavy rotation this season...Ladies, that's all I have for now! I hope you are having a wonderful week, be blessed and nothin' less and continue to stay fearlessly fierce!

Best Practices for Diversity/Inclusion Efforts
Richard Harvey and Ana Hernandez Kent reviewed The Color Bind: Talking (and not Talking) About Race at Work by Erica Gabrielle Foldy and Tamara R. Buckley. Like many organizations, my university has struggled and continues to struggle with diversity/inclusion (D/I) efforts. The administration has included D/I information on the website, as have individual departments. Human resource professionals and associate deans with D/I experience have been hired. Committees have been formed. Student government has become involved. Speakers, workshops, seminars, open forums, and other activities have been scheduled. My own department recently proposed a D/I essay contest for our psychology majors. Earlier in my career, I had some interest in program evaluation, so I often wonder to what extent have these efforts made a difference and how can we evaluate their effectiveness.
So, what are the best practices for instituting D/I efforts? What recommendations would you make to organizations, including higher educational institutions? And if you feel really ambitious, provide suggestions on how to evaluate their effectiveness.

A lightweight, oil-free, aqueous solution containing the full complement of Cellex-C Complex signature ingredients. This formulation has been adjusted to 7.5% ascorbic acid and buffered to a 3.3 pH to accommodate highly sensitive skin types.
Regular use will reduce the visible signs of aging – fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin – and helps improve the feeling of elasticity and resilience in the skin.
- A lightweight liquid containing an adapted concentration of the Patented Complex for individuals with skin too sensitive to use Cellex-C High-Potency Serum.
- Cellex-C is the only skin care line in the world to be licensed to utilize the Bioderm patent created by Dr. Lorraine Faxon-Meisner.
- Contains 7.5% L-ascorbic acid—the only form of vitamin C that the body can recognize and utilize to promote collagen production.
- Buffered to a pH of 3.3 to counter skin sensitivity to the high ascorbic acid content.
- Contains L-tyrosine. Medical literature states, L-tyrosine, when combined with ascorbic acid, helps to promote regeneration of new connective tissue through the stimulation of fibroblasts enabling them to make more collagen.
- Contains zinc. Research indicates this mineral helps support increased collagen turnover stimulated by ascorbic acid.
- Contains pine bark extract. These particular bioflavonoids were chosen because they have been shown in laboratory testing to have the ability to bind with collagen fibers as well as help protect them against further attack by free radicals.
- Oil-free, ideal for all skin types.
- Bioflavonoids help the cross linking of collagen fibers in a pattern associated with younger looking skin.
- Can help you look 5 to 10 years younger.
- Regular use may dramatically reduce the visible signs of aging—fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin.
- Helps increase the elasticity and resilience of the skin to greatly reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
- Treated skin will gradually appear firmer and smoother with improved texture, tone and overall radiance.
- This formulation is extremely well tolerated and can be used by the majority of people without fear of troublesome skin reactions—such as sunlight sensitivity—that can occur with other skin smoothing preparations.

What should I expect when I come to the experience?
The first 30 minutes of your experience will consist of checking in and signing paperwork and a tour of the studio. You will then be with your instructor for approximately 1 hour depending on how many students are in your class.
Our instructors will start out by giving you a bit of background information on the Percolla Reed. Then you'll know exactly what it is you're making and what it is for. Next comes a demonstration on how the product is crafted, what the finished product will look like, as well as suggested usage for the Percolla Reeds. We'll explain hot shop safety zones, how to sit at the bench and use specific tools, and then you'll be ready to start. Students will step over to the bench at this point to make their reeds using supplies and color specifically set aside for this class. Teachers will demonstrate color patterns, shapes, and styles, as well as gathering the glass, turning the pipe, and keeping the glass on the punti rod. Watching others is the best way to learn techniques so be prepared to sit and watch fellow students as they make their reeds. At times you'll participate as a group so be sure to bring your camera and feel free to ask others to take that perfect shot if you attend the experience alone.
Will I get to take my reed home that night?
No. Once colored and formed, the students' reeds will go into a annealing oven designed to slowly bring the glass down to room temperature. (which usually takes around 24 hours) If the glass cools too quickly it can crack or shatter. Then our craftsmen will add the steel rod to the base of the glass, which allows the rod to be placed in the soil so only the glass Percolla Reed will be above soil level. This process takes up to a week.
What else do we do during this experience?
This experience also gives you an opportunity to do the Big Bubble Blow!! Which is another studio original where you get to try glassblowing. We'll set the glass up for you, shape it slightly on the marver, and let you blow the bubble as big as you can! It will give you an idea of how the glass moves and how many things are involved in getting the glass shaped just right.
New to the studio?
Also included in this experience is a tour of the Glass Academy.You'll get to see projects in progress, hear about our new shows and upcoming events, and get the chance to talk with the staff and have them answer all of your glass questions. We often find many of the students have questions about how the studio runs and who founded it.
What to wear:
The studio could possibly be hot and sticky if the weather is warm, but know that it's always bursting with excitement inside! Be prepared to sweat and have fun while doing it. Cotton clothing is a must, shorts are OK, tight jeans are probably not your best choice, but regular jeans are OK. Open toed shoes or flip-flops are not an option; you will not be able to participate should you wear them. Please stay hydrated!!! Bringing bottled water or sports beverages is encouraged, but we have water available here for our students as well. Drink plenty!
Cost $125
How to Register:
Follow the links below, phone us at 313.561.4527, or come to the studio to sign up. Please arrive no sooner than 15 minutes prior to your class. Expect to stay at least 1.5 hours but give yourself longer as classes may run over.

- If you arrive more than 30 minutes late for your scheduled class time, you will forfeit your class.(this is because you have missed the demo of the product you would be making)

We would love for everyone to get the chance to experience the wonder of working hands on with molten glass. Please note our benches are set up for people who are right handed and the tools come in one size and may be too large for those of us who have smaller hands. We'll do our best to make it work for you! Note: the glass blowing bench will not accommodate wheelchairs, motorized scooters, and if you have a cast on, it would be best to come back when you're fully healed.
Added perks?!
Yes!! With any class you participate in, you'll get 20% off gallery purchases that night, as well as when you come to pick up your work. Ask for the special coupon when you come to the studio.

I'll be taking a short break from writing my blog for a while, well, to get some writing done. I'm about halfway finished my copy edits for A Murder at Rosamund's Gate. I'll also be working on the second draft of From the Charred Remains soon, gnashing my teeth over the feedback from my alpha reader.
In the mean time, I'll leave you to contemplate how the ale-wife and coffee-man, long embroiled in cantankerous railing (stealing each others' customers!), came to enter a "friendly consultation." The ale-wife promised that "any person being reelingly drunk may be entertained in a coffee-house to make himself sober..." (Essentially, she promised to get her customers as drunk as possible and send them over to the Coffee-House, to improve the coffee man's coffee sales.)
Similarly, the Coffee-Man agreed to send any of his customers who were tired of "superior speech" and "prittle prattle" over to the Ale-House. This way, they could get on with the business of "honest drinking." See, everyone wins!
All this to say, if you need me, I'll be at the coffee house. Or at a tavern. Or on a seventeenth-century walkabout. (Okay, maybe grading papers. Maybe doing my day job.) Certainly writing. But I won't be on my blog. At least, not for a few weeks. Cheers!

Maybe it's those pink, plaid, bow-neck tops we were cruelly forced to wear on picture day, but we've never been big on blouses. T-shirts and sweatshirts are much more our speed. Luckily, sporty tops are currently undergoing a renaissance — and, perhaps inspired by Kenzo's iconic tiger sweatshirts, more high-end designers are jumping into the sport-top lane than ever before.
We rounded up our 10 favorite takes on the trend from Neiman Marcus. From Theory's laminated sweatshirt and Michael Kors' sleek ribbed-knit tee to Stella McCartney's "put a (gigantic, coral) bird on it" version, the 10 tees and sweats ahead are as easy as ever — and actually elegant, too.

So you might remember my manicure from my last post with Zoya - Edyta. Well, last night I was itching for something new (oh and just to clarify, I actually did the original manicure on Monday evening, I just didn't post it until Thursday, I can keep one colour on for a few days without needing something new right away :P) but I really didn't want to take this off so I decided to try adding a glitter top coat over it and see how it worked out.
I added Revlon - Belle which is a new colour released with the Just Add Sparkle Collection. This is how it turned out:

The Pound Party and The Census Summary
"The Pound Party": Rawlings takes an invitation from the large Townsend family as a welcome to the area. A family of "countless" children, they invite her to a "pound party," at which she is the only guest. They play harmonica and dance, serve her crackers and peanut butter, and proceed to enjoy the cake she brought. Some of the children suffer from hookworm, for which their parents mostly refuse treatment. Rawlings makes dresses for the children if they will agree to go to school. They attend school for a while but eventually drop out. They grow up to be as active and prosperous as their neighbors, which makes Rawlings question whether it was she who could have learned from them.
"The Census": In order to get to know the area and her neighbors...

Salutations to the sun! The sun shining on us ought to be used as an energy source. This renewable resource is a source of clean energy that does not pollute the planet. Keep reading for information about how to use solar energy.
If you perform regular maintenance on your solar power system, it will function well for a long time. Check your equipment once monthly and wash the panels carefully. Don't fear hiring a pro to clean and check the panels, but remember that you may save a lot of you can do it yourself.
Panel efficiency and quantity of panels are huge factors in how much power you'll be able to produce. Assess your needs carefully and do the math before deciding how many panels you want to purchase. You may get better results using a few high performance panels instead of many less efficient ones.
While it may seem that your solar panels are always affixed to your roof permanently, the best ones permit repositioning of the angles. By altering the angles, you will be able to maximize the energy level that your panel produces.
Start small if you are just starting out with solar energy. Get yourself a couple of solar energy lights if you want to use them for landscaping purposes so that you can save some energy. You should not have any problem finding these lights at a store near you. Installing them means nothing more than shoving them into the soil.
Look for a transferable lease in the event that you choose to lease solar power. Should you move some day, you may have to continue paying on the lease because you can't take the system with you. Having a transfer option allows you to pass on the lease to the new owner of the home.
Take good care of your solar energy panels, and you will enjoy many years of trouble-free service. Keeping the panels clean will help to ensure that you are harnessing the maximum amount of energy from the sun that you can. If you are not able to do so yourself, you should have a trained professional come to your home. Tackling the project on your own could save a great deal of money, however.
Solar energy systems are great for saving money if you have no problem making an investment up front. This can help you go green and reduce your energy bill. If you're not prepared to settle down, solar panels probably aren't the best decision.
Solar Panels
When cost and square footage are of no concern, a sun-tracking system of panels is an excellent option. These systems can track the sun for optimum efficiency. Initially, it may cost a lot more than a fixed system, but it will produce more energy.
Smell-scale solar panels are great for different variations of energy optimization. There are two ways to go about it. First, you should find solar panels that you'll be able to mount up on windows that are able to charge small appliances. Another option is to look for solar-powered camping gear like lanterns and stoves. Every little thing you do, can help reduce costs on your energy bill.
Solar energy systems keep changing with time. It was very expensive in the past, but the cost has gone down to match the affordability of a common household. You can find the proper unit for your home with just a little homework and effort.
If you have enough resources and space, you should invest in a sun tracking solar panel system. This follows the way the sun moves all the time. While they are costly at first, the increased efficiency will actually save you money in the end.
If you are having a new home built for you it is a great time to look into using solar energy to power your home. Using solar energy is good for the planet and your wallet. When you haven't checked this out before, now is the best time.
Do the math prior to making the decision to invest in solar panels. Determine if you will be saving money over the course of the year with them. If you jump into solar panel without figuring out these statistics, the result may be an unpleasant one.
You need to determine your pattern of energy usage. Before going out and switching to solar power, you need to know how much energy you need to produce for your home. If you want to choose a properly sized solar energy system, this information is extremely important. Since energy usage changes on a seasonal basis, monitoring your bills is important.
You can get tax credits from your government for using solar energy. You may receive upwards of thirty percent off the price of your system. Search online to find more information or get in touch with your local government representative to see if these rebate programs are offered in your region.
You can be free of the power grid when you generate your own solar power. You can operate one yourself, and this will make your family independent from everyone else in your area. You will be able to avoid monthly electric bills and eliminate the need to acquire power at a new home should you move.
If you are able to install solar panels, be sure to check the inverter. A green light is normal. Erratic blinking or no light may signal a malfunction. It's almost impossible for most panel owners to diagnose problems. If you purchased a warranty with a company, a visit from them ought to be free.
If you aren't ready to take the plunge into a solar power system, consider using a solar attic fan. It pays attention to temperature and is very efficient. This will lower the amount of energy necessary to cool your home by removing excess heat. Additionally, as it is solar powered, your power bill will go down, not up.
Solar Power
Pathway lighting is simple, affordable and ideal for bringing solar energy to your home or business. Standalone pathway lights are simple to install. They gain power from the sun in the daytime and provide light all night long. They are not very difficult to install, and they can add some charm to your outside area.
Solar power technology is rapidly evolving. Solar power equipment is no longer so expensive that only the rich can afford them. It can work for both your home or your small business, so take some time to look into your options.
Solar panels must be installed in the specific area where they can maximize their potential for providing you with solar energy. Make sure there are no trees casting shadows on your panels and clean the surface of your panels regularly.
Have your solar panels installed correctly to get the most energy from the sun. If you are set against hiring a professional to assist you, you can start tracking the sun's movements yourself to calculate the best positioning.
If you want a particular kind of solar panels, research when they first emerged. Make sure that the dealer you purchase your solar panels from is selling the latest technology, not panels from several years ago. It's cheap, but you won't get much out of it.
Look into using solar energy to power your home in some way if you care anything at all for the environment. Because solar energy comes from the sun, a renewable resource, it's an incredible way to go green. Utilize solar energy for your needs instead of continued reliance on fossil fuels.
Don't think the biggest solar panel is the best. Many factors affect the reliability of a particular solar panel systems, such as what is used to make it, its wattage, and what warranty it has. You need to consider many different factors when investing in solar panels.
If you are having a new home built for you it is a great time to look into using solar energy to power your home. Solar energy is a great way to power a building because it doesn't have that much of an effect on the environment. Now is the perfect time to check out this kind of energy.
You should never feel pressured to buy something, especially an expensive solar energy system. You will more than likely run into pushy salespeople. Always be ready to inform them you'll think about their options in the near future but that you're not going to commit right this moment. If they say they have a great deal right now, then it really should still be a good deal next week too. Being pressured to make a decision right away can end up costing you a lot of unnecessary money, so don't allow salespeople to bully you into a sale.
If you're hesitant to completely convert to solar energy, start out with a solar attic fan. It pays attention to temperature and is very efficient. This gets rid of heat and reduces cooling costs. As an additional incentive, they are powered by the sun, which means they themselves add nothing to your utility bill.
Have your system inspected bi-annually to keep it running its best. Your solar technician will examine connections and readjust the angle of your panels for the best performance of your system.
Whatever solar energy system you pick, be sure your panels are turned toward the sun. The sun is the driving force for energy-producing solar cells, so it's important they are installed in a location that gives them direct access to as much sunlight as possible.
As the seasons change, so should the angle of each solar panel. The amount of sun that hits your home changes with the seasons, as does the direction at which the sunlight hits. If you change the panel angles, you stand a good chance of optimizing the energy that you can capture, getting the most of your investment.
Refrain from buying solar panels from salespeople who seem needy. They're common, sadly. Just let them know that you plan to think things over before making any deals. If it's a good deal today, it will be tomorrow. You will more than likely regret the decisions you made under pressure.
You should consider installing solar panels as an important home improvement project. Do your research on different contractors and ask them to share references from other customers. Never agree to anything without first scrutinizing the fine print. This extra attention could save a great deal of money in the long run.
When considering a water heater powered by the sun, be realistic regarding its costs and benefits. The best systems are one third more economical when compared to energy efficient electric water heaters. Remember that a morning shower doesn't mean you'll be using frigid water. Water that is heated by the sun should maintain its warmth for a full day.
When you can't afford a full system, instead start with a solar water heating system. 35% of your energy usage may be just for hot water. While these costs may be lower upfront than the full power ones, solar water heaters can save you money sooner.
Be sure and alter the angles on your solar panels during each season. When the season changes, the sunlight hits your home from a different direction. When you change your panel angles, you are optimizing your energy harnessing, saving you money.
It is a good idea to tie your solar panels system back into the grid. This system allows you to sell any extra energy you do not use to your utility company. This makes you money, fancy that!
If you can, try to install windows facing towards the south side of your home to make the limited winter sun more efficient. Select materials wisely to prevent excessive heat exposure in the summer. There are many professionals that can aid you in this process.
It is important to understand your needs when purchasing a solar panel. You should know your electric usage, optimal areas of sunlight and make decisions for the sizing and shape of the panel. It may be better to install several smaller panels instead of one larger panel.
Even the best advice goes to waste if you do not act upon it. The benefits you'll receive from the advice above is sure to result in a great solar energy system at a reasonable price. When you feel it is time to make the move, use this advice to make the process a smooth one.
Solar outdoor lighting is a great idea for your outdoor walkways, patios and porches. Since you don't need electricity for these lights, you can put them anywhere outdoors. They collect solar power during the day and become illuminated in the evening. This environmentally friendly choice enhances the safety and beauty of your outdoor areas.

The famous comedian, Kevin Hart, shared a photo alongside his pregnant wife, Eniko, on Tuesday. In the sweet image, the mom-to-be sports a red bikini and shows off her growing tummy.
The post was met with a number of comments from followers congratulating the couple on the pregnancy. "Awww look at the baby bump!" one follower commented. "Your wife is beautiful! And the baby will be just as beautiful!" another added.
Eniko also shared a photo from the trip of the family, including Kevin's two children from his previous marriage, Hendrix and Heaven, on their way to a luau.
The model has documented her pregnancy on her Instagram before. She posted a selfie showing off her bump five days ago in a sports bra and leggings, adding the words "getting big" to the photo.
"Post-Workout bumpie. #18 weeks today and feeling GREAT taking it one day at a time.. Baby boy is going to start shaking things up in there sooner than later. Ahhhh! I can't wait. Thought I'd share with you guys. xO," she captioned the image.
Hart first announced her pregnancy in early May — on Mother's Day — by posting a snap of her sonogram. She also revealed the baby's sex in the caption.
"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the Hart's with the baby carriage! .. all on God's Timing. I am so ready for our next chapter… Overjoyed! It's been an amazing experience thus far, and I can't wait for what's to come. Thank you guys for all of your well wishes. Happy Mother-to-be Day to me! P.S. It's a boy, straight chillin' already," she captioned the post.
Kevin shared a selfie of the couple on the same day to announce the news.
"Celebrating Mother's Day with my beautiful wife. We are laughing at the fact that this time next year we will be celebrating her 1st actual Mother's Day. #Harts #Blessed," he wrote alongside the picture.

British Airways shares were among the biggest fallers in the FTSE 100 as disappointment over the airline's profit figures was compounded by concerns about future trading and possible industrial action.
BA disclosed yesterday that the airport security clampdown in August cost it £100m, up from the £40m that was forecast at the time, and that high fuel costs would continue to hurt the company for the rest of the financial year.
But of immediate concern for investors were signs of increasing militancy among the flag-carrier's four main unions because of a failure to agree changes aimed at reducing the airline's £2.1bn pension deficit.
BA wants to raise the retirement age for some staff and change benefits, in return for putting a £500m-plus lump sum into the pension scheme and increasing company contributions. But the unions claim scheme members are being asked to bear too much of the burden, and despite several meetings the two sides are still far apart, say officials. The pilots union Balpa said members felt industrial action was the only way to get BA to improve its terms.
BA chief executive Willie Walsh said yesterday that a strike would "help no one". And, contrary to union officials' comments that an agreement was a long way off, Mr Walsh still believes a deal can be done by a mid-November deadline.
BA's interim profits were hit by a £100m cost because of the security measures introduced at UK airports in August. Ticket sales fell, mainly among premium-class passengers. Over the six-months to September 30, pre-tax profits rose 1.6pc to £371m but in the final quarter they fell 27pc to £176m.
The airline, Europe's third-largest, cut its full-year sales forecast and said bookings have only just recovered. BA was forced to cancel 1,280 flights in August, which affected 80,000 people, as the discovery of a planned terrorist outrage prompted increased passenger screening and a ban on hand luggage.
Mr Walsh said: "Premium traffic continues to be affected by the tighter security arrangements. Transfers at Heathrow are more difficult." Although security restrictions have recently been eased, Mr Walsh said the changes were made too late.
Florence Tassan, an analyst at Societe Generale, said: "We knew the August crisis would hit earnings but they also don't see much of a recovery. BA is not my favourite play. It's disappointing."
BA's fuel bill for the year as a whole is likely to be £400m, or about 30pc higher than last year. The airline reduced its forecast for annual sales growth by half a percentage point to 4.5pc-5pc. BA shares closed down 15¾, or 3.4pc, to 449¼p, the second-worst performer in the FTSE 100.

The metal fabrication industry is an essential component of the manufacturing world. Many industries are reliant on the metals that are sheared, cut, and welded by metal fabricators. However, the natural resources that the metal industry uses are not renewable. Because of this, manufacturers have been taking steps to make their industry more sustainable.
Surprisingly, these measures have proven to be highly beneficial. The directives that were introduced haven't just reduced waste and pollution; they've also cut back expenses. Environmentally-friendly changes have made the metal fabrication industry more profitable than ever.
Energy Costs Are Down
One of the biggest benefits of these environmental measures has been a reduction in energy costs. The measures that factories introduced to cut back on waste have also brought utility costs down. These savings have been tremendous; many factories have seen energy costs drop by as much as 9%!
Companies that were reluctant to get on board with these kinds of measures are now starting to show interest in them. It's clear that there are a number of benefits to focusing on sustainability. Environmentally-friendly practices are a great way for businesses to save.
Experts Are Working On New Solutions
While companies have already come up with a number of ways to make the metal fabrication industry more sustainable, there is still progress to be made. A number of experts are working to find new solutions to common problems.
At conferences, new sustainability measures are regularly proposed. Many companies are experimenting and introducing new projects. It's clear that the industry will continue to make even more progress in the future.
Government Programs Are Helping The Industry Grow
There are a number of government programs that are designed to incentivise companies to "go green." These programs have been benefiting the metal fabrication industry. Companies that want to lower their carbon footprint can make positive changes with ease.
Without these government programs, some factories would not be able to afford to improve their practices. These programs have had a real impact on the industry's growth. Thanks to these programs, a number of factories have been able to make changes and improve their methods.
The Largest Companies In The World Have Gone Green
Green initiatives aren't just something that smaller manufacturers are experimenting with. Many of the biggest names in the metal fabrication industry have launched major initiatives. For example, Aqua Lung has started taking advantage of solar power. AGS Technology, Inc. has found ways to use more recycled materials.
Every company in this industry seems focused on introducing more environmentally-friendly practices. The people in this industry aren't sticking to the methods of the past. They're seeking out new techniques that will allow their industry to grow and thrive in the future.
Many industries are working to improve their practices. There are a number of industries introducing green initiatives and working to become more sustainable. The metal fabrication industry has already made great strides, and it seems clear that this industry will make even more progress in the future.

Scott Wood and Lorenzo Brown added 15 points apiece, and the Wolfpack (11-2) kept UNC Greensboro off the boards after halftime while using a timely run to break open a surprisingly tight game.
Richard Howell had 11 points and 13 rebounds, and the nation's most accurate shooting team shot 53 percent in matching its longest winning streak since 2008.
Freshman Kayel Locke had 21 points for the Spartans (2-9). The Southern Conference's top 3-point shooting team was just 2 of 17 from beyond the arc, and leading scorer Trevis Simpson — who averages 20 points — was out with an ankle injury.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
Last year my boyfriend was hired to work on a movie that was shooting in the UK. He had to move there for nine months and we decided that I would fly out and stay with him while he was working. I had never been to London, so it was a great opportunity to model overseas.
I met and signed with an agency a week after I got there. I was immediately whisked off to castings in a city where I had to learn the public transportation system within an hour. Luckily, the London Underground is color-coded and a million times easier to learn than the NYC subway. I'm also very attracted to British men and was more than happy to ask for directions.
I couldn't get enough of tall, pale, Pete Doherty-looking men asking me, "Where are you trying to go, love?"
Umm, inside of your pants?
It was also the first time in my life I contemplated smoking cigarettes to look cool. Fuck, London is so cool.
My first two castings were with Net-A-Porter and Topshop. The Topshop on Oxford Street is the craziest store in the entire world. It's five floors and they have a café and nail salon in it. There's an entire floor just for bags. It's nuts, guys. My reaction upon first walking in there was like Kevin McCallister's when he sees Duncan's Toy Chest in "Home Alone 2."
I think every girl I met in London was wearing at least two pieces of Topshop clothing at all times. I may have an unhealthy obsession with Topshop. I need to change the subject.
I ended up booking a job for Regis Salons that was shooting in Manchester. I was actually in New York for a few days meeting with editors about a book I have yet to write, when my London agent called to tell me I booked the job. It was a pretty decent-paying job so I was stoked.
I grabbed a slice of pizza on my way back to my hotel and called my boyfriend to tell him the good news.
His response was, "That's great news, umm, I think we need to break up."
I'm sorry, what did you say? Yeah, he broke up with me. Oh, it was four days after my birthday too. Happy Birthday, go fuck yourself. I had moved to London, got a visa, an agency, and ditched commercial season in LA against the advice of my manager to be with a guy I was in love with. At least I've learned my lesson about never relying on men for anything.
I made a lot of changes in my life to be with him in London, and now all that work was a total waste. My first response to him was, "Umm, no we are not breaking up." That didn't work.
I sat on my hotel bed staring at my uneaten slice of pizza, asking why he was doing this now, as opposed to when I got back to London. He said his friend told him to call me now rather than later. Great advice, idiot! Now I had to sit on a nine-hour flight back to London trying to figure out my life.
He said, "Well I thought maybe you'd just want to fly back to LA and not see me again."
"I have a job in Manchester and most of my clothes are in your house, why the hell would you think I'd do that?"
I was so angry. I really wish he had waited until I got back to London to drop this news on me. I couldn't eat or sleep. When I got back to his house I started packing. I asked him what the hell went wrong and why he hadn't told me he was having these feelings before I decided to drop everything and move my life to London.
He said, "Well I didn't feel like this a week ago."
Oh, well that's OK then. Whatever you need holds precedent over my needs. Thanks for trying to work things out since I did everything I could to accommodate your life.
There was no discussion, the only thing I got out of him was, "I'm sorry, but this is what I need in my life right now."
Cool. Well, see ya later person I spent most of my life with for 10 months.
I still had a job that day, so I took the train to Euston station, and then boarded a train to Manchester. Despite having my heart broken, it was nice seeing the English countryside. I thrive off of unknown places, so this job was a good way to focus on something other than the process of a breakup.
Two hours later and I arrived in Manchester. I saw three other models at the station looking confused so I assumed they were headed to the same place I was. We took a cab to the salon and spent the next eight hours getting our hair cut, dyed, and dyed again. I had a hair job a few weeks prior to this one, so my hair kept getting shorter and shorter. Whatever, I really needed the money.
The models all had rooms at the Crowne Plaza hotel. Manchester was everything I imagined it to be -- cloudy, sassy, and amazing. Despite being really depressed, I decided to take a walk around Manchester for some photos. The other models were all eating dinner together, but since I'm way too socially awkward for that type of thing I told them I was just going to hang out alone in my room. They definitely thought I was a sociopath.
I wasn't wearing any makeup and had no desire to put any on. I wasn't going to see anyone so I didn't care. I put on the same clothes I had been wearing for two days and ventured out. About 20 minutes into my walk, a guy comes up to me.
"Excuse me, are you French?" He asks in his British/French accent.
"Nope, American, boring I know." I'm such a Debbie downer.
"Oh wow, I expected French to come out of your mouth, you dress like a French girl, what are you doing here?"
"I'm just here for the night working, I actually came from London. I work as a model."
Then we talked for a few more minutes, and I could tell this wasn't going to be an easy conversation to get out of. I just wanted to be left alone so I could take more miserable photos of Manchester's dreariness.
"I was supposed to meet a friend for a drink but he cannot make it, would you like to join me?"
I stood there, wanting to say "no," but for some reason I decided to go with him. That was very un-Melissa of me, but I figured anything was better than moping alone in my hotel room.
His name was Patrick, and he took me to a pub called Simple where he knew the bartenders. We had a few very delicious ginger/vodka drinks. We talked about lots of stuff. He told me his father was originally from Africa, but he grew up in France and recently moved to Manchester. He worked as a stylist, which was apparent from his clothing. I asked if he liked LCD Soundsystem, and he said, "Who?"
His accent was pretty French, so I had to ask him to repeat a few things. He kept saying words like "fate" and "unbelievable." I told him about my breakup and he had nothing but reassuring things to tell me. At one point he assumed I was 20 or 21.
"Oh no, I am much older. My birthday was actually last week."
"You cannot be older than 25," he said in his French accent, which was growing on me.
"I'm 29."
"Oh Melissa. Do you know how much more I like you now? You are such a beautiful woman, and you are older which means you are wiser. I'm so happy to have met you."
Any guy that likes me because I'm older than he thought is definitely a winner. I think he said he was 32, I can't remember. It was refreshing to talk to a guy from a completely different country who was just happy to have a conversation. We went to a couple more pubs -- The Gas Lamp and San Carlo Cicchetti. Manchester was such a cool little city.
A weird thing that made me even happier (and this might sound really stupid) was that I had no makeup on. I usually feel uncomfortable going places without mascara and concealer to cover up my stupid acne scars, but I didn't care that night. Patrick told me I was beautiful and I believed him.
After a few hours, we left the bar and walked through the Northern Quarter. It was April so it was a little cold, but I didn't mind. I enjoy everything about foreign countries, mostly the architecture. I could've walked around Manchester for hours and not gotten bored. Patrick asked if I wanted to come back to his loft so he could cook me salmon while we listened to Amy Winehouse.
"I should go, I have a shoot tomorrow." Classic model excuse.
"Oh come on, you can't leave me now, we are soulmates."
Maybe it was the alcohol or his charming accent, but I agreed to stop by his place. He lived five minutes from where we were, and when we got there he couldn't find his keys. Oh of course, he's a serial killer and doesn't actually have a home, just my luck. One of his neighbors was actually leaving and recognized him so he let us in. Phew, not a murderer, as of yet.
We get into his apartment and he shows me around.
"This is the kitchen where I will cook you many dinners." But all I heard was the serial killer translation of it, "This is the kitchen where I will cook you. Many dinners." I've seen way too many Dateline episodes.
He offers me another drink but I'm already kinda drunk and shouldn't be drinking the night before a shoot anyway. We hang out on his
couch listening to Amy Winehouse, and I decide I should probably go home.
"I wish you could stay longer, but you must come back to visit me." He seemed legitimately sad.
"Of course I will." I had no idea how I would ever get back to Manchester.
We get up and walk toward his door. He turns around and starts to kiss me. Uh-oh. We make out for a few minutes, but I have to put an end to it otherwise who knows what would happen (probably some fucking). I was a tad drunk but my adult brain was still telling me I should leave. Looking back I totally should've stayed and had sex. Son of a bitch!
He offered to walk me back to my hotel, which was very sweet of him. We held hands the entire way back. I got his phone number and he got mine. I was using a temporary iPhone with a UK number, so I gave him that. He didn't want me to leave because he was afraid he'd never see me agai. I really liked him, but I was also really bummed about my breakup, so my thoughts were all over the place. We said goodbye and I smiled the entire elevator ride up to my floor.
The next morning at my shoot while I was getting my hair and makeup done, I received a text from him, "Thanks for the fantastique time Melissa. Beauty is within your body…your movements…your smile…your soul. Please lets meet again and make our dreams real together."
I don't remember his last name and the phone with his number in it went back to Marvel studios, so I have no way of talking to him. Maybe it's for the best?
I would like to tell him how happy he made that night, though. This is so cliché to say, but he restored my faith in humanity. There are so many people like Patrick who I just haven't met yet, and agreeing to hang out with him for a few hours was a really great decision.

Play-Doh Meal Makin' Kitchen Set (Review)
Every time someone is cooking in the kitchen, my son has been trying to 'cook' too. A Masterchef in the making, I can only hope. While I wholly agree to the idea of him learning to cook, letting him near a hot stove at his age is something else altogether. So, his father did the next best thing. He got him a Play-Doh Meal Makin' Kitchen set.
Ever since we bought him the Peipeile Dough Fastfood Center, he has been asking for ice cream, strawberries, cars, fire trucks, robots, etc. made out of dough. So, since we wanted to check out and compare the quality of the different brands of modeling items, purchasing the Play-Doh Meal Makin' Kitchen set seems to be the ideal solution.
