One of dangdut singer who often sang from stage to stage is often difficult to complain if he rocked on stage entertainment because of the shape of his body began to get puffy difficult dance moves or shakes in sing dangdut songs. So that the wobble dance dangdut singer becomes less palatable viewed by the audience with the body slightly swollen so. The singer was annoyed at all by weight if you are taking to the stage due to the addition of weight is a growing and difficult to control by him. Costume he used when singing into his own ordeal for the singer because his body fat to make a costume that he wears no longer fits comfortably worn. Really sorry for the woman because she did not know if any drug phentermine can lose weight quickly.

The singer does not know if a lot of famous people that use drugs to thin his body into a proportional measure by the standards of ideal body size. The site is deliberately produce phentermine 37.5 for consumption by people who feel uncomfortable with the condition of excessive body weight. Weight and body fat measure is actually less good for the eye to anyone, because the shape is less beautiful and often a separate issue to that person alone. Evils of excessive weight and fat that makes him vulnerable to a heart attack, cholesterol disease, difficulty wearing normal clothing size, difficulty when running or squatting and others. Therefore my advice is try to use these drugs wisely prescription the doctor ordered so that your body healthy and well shaped.

The typical home is said to have enough air leaks that’s equivalent to having a window open year-round. If you’re like the typical homeowner, that means you’re basically wasting 20% or more of the energy you pay to heat and cool your home. Needless to say, weatherizing your home can add tremendous energy and cost savings.

In this first of three series of articles regarding weatherizing your home, we will dive in a little deeper and discuss why you need it, where to look for air leaks, and how to figure out if you need it.

 

It Goes Beyond the Savings

Yes, by weatherizing your home you will feel more comfortable during the hottest and coldest of months, and save energy and money in the process. However, home weatherization goes further, beyond the idea of protecting the envelop of the house to prevent loss of energy from the unwanted exchange of inside and outside air.

Here’s what you may not know: Preventing the unwanted circulation or infiltration of air also reduces humidity, dust and pollen; eliminates pests and noise; and even prevents the growth and spread of mold that may eventually compromise the integrity of a building support structure. In essence, you can say it’s an investment in your health and your home.

Sealing reduces humidity, dust and pollen Insulating eliminates pests and noise Caulking prevents growth and spread of mold All of these will save energy and money

 

Where to Look for It

Before you know what to look for, you need to know where to look. You may already know gaps and cracks in window and door frames are one of the biggest culprits of drafts, but the infiltration actually occurs throughout the house in and around these common areas:

 

Air Leaks from the Outside

Cable, TV and phone wiring Chimney Door and window frames Electronic outlets on exterior walls (inside the house) Gas service entraces Kitchen and dryer exhaust fans Mail chutes Outdoor faucet Wall air conditioning units

 

Air Leaks from the Inside

Attic stairs / hatch Duct register Dropped soffit Plumbing vent stack Recessed lights

 

Other Problem Areas

Attic space Basements Crawl space Floor Laundry room Space between foundation and walls Space between chimney and siding Roof

 

How to Look for It

The easiest way to get started is to call your local utility company to ask if they offer either a home audit / inspection rebate program (in exchange for the job of weatherizing your home) and/or cover a percentage of the cost of weatherization. Some states, such as Georgia, even have weatherization assistance programs where qualifying families can receive free home inspections and weatherization installations.

If you refer to or have to do it yourself, have no fear, there are simple expensive gadget-free tests you can conduct to see what’s going on in your home. Below is a summary of the self-test methods as well as the other options you have:

 

Utility Companies:

Home Audit Rebate Weatherization Discounts Some utility companies provide free or discounted home audit in exchange for the job of weatherizing your home. Some utility companies provide discounts on certain weatherization materials and labor.

 

State or Local Gov’t Agencies:

Weatherization Assistance Programs Some states like Georgia have weatherization assistance for qualifying families

 

Do It Yourself:

Incense Test Turn off the heat Shut all windows and doors Turn on all the fans (e.g., bathroom or kitchen exhaust fans) that blow air outside Light a incense stick and pass it along the edges of potential leak spots Smoke sucking out or blowing in signals a draft When: On a cool, windy day Ray of Light Test Turn on your exhaust fans Shine a flash light over potential gaps while a second person observes from the outside of the house Large cracks will appear as rays of light Small cracks will be difficult to detect using this method When: At night Paper Test Get whole paper such as printing paper or notebook paper Shut a door or window on the piece of paper If you can’t pull it out without tearing it, that means there’s a significant gap When: Anytime Next article will cover: What to do Comparisons of weatherization products Payback periods and more

In December 2012 mankind will be in its greatest peril from our local sun.  At this time of the planetary alignments CMEs or coronal mass ejections from the sun will be aimed directly at the Earth and the shading effect of the planets will funnel the CMEs directly towards Earth.

Leading up to this time only massive solar flares will impact the Earth.  Solar flares are by far the largest explosions in our solar system equal to millions of 100 megaton bombs.  Typical solar flares release 10 to the 27th ergs per second.  Large solar flares can release 10 to the 32nd ergs per second and this energy.  But CMEs while be far larger and more massive than any solar flare can ever be. While a solar flare produces most of it’s high-energy close to the sun a CME produces a shockwave that continuously sends out these particles. CMEs are much more massive and so much more likely to impact the Earth but they take 3 to 5 days to reach the Earth.

In 2012 early massive solar flares will probably severely damage satellites and totally blind Earth from viewing the sun with upper satellite images.  So ground observers will likely be our only advanced warning of any solar flares and coronal mass ejections in the middle of the crisis at the solar peak.  This could be a big disadvantage.  

It is the CMEs that I like to call the Hand of God because they are so massive and far reaching.  But also for another reason.  CMEs might provide the hand that this world needs to end most all of its negative activities all at once.  Most pollution will end overnight as people loose electricity and the means to make large amounts of gasoline.  We will all need to become organic gardeners for food which will also be grown locally instead of trucked thousands of miles.  Animal husbandry and exploitation in factory farms will end as the grains for animals are needed to feed people to prevent starvation in the third world countries.

People will be forced to become self-sufficient and neighborhood oriented.  Few people will be able to go to work far away.  The fiber optic internet will become the main means of communications.  Cell phones will vanish overnight as useless as well as most all TV and radio .  The world will go back to 1900s living conditions for a few years as we recover but we will never become so harmful and polluting to our environment ever again when we recover from this.

Global warming will be slowed dramatically and time to move cities from coastal regions will grow to tens of years as global warming will slow.    We will all of necessity become vegetarians and eat far healthier than before when meat in the western world was plentiful.

Most all livestock will be killed for food when the grains to feed them runs short.  And so a major sourced of methane pollution will end overnight.  Ocean fish populations will recover as fewer fishermen have fuel to fish and overfish the oceans for several years time.

Energy consumption by coal plants, nuclear, gas, and oil will end overnight and the air will ounce again be clean and clear of pollution.  People and children will get less lung cancers, asthma, and COPD.

Families and extended families and groups will be the norm as people come together to pool their resources and talents in learning how to survive in this new environment.  

Most all internal combustion cars will end as a means of transportation at least for many years.  We will be living in great centralized cities where everyone walks to work, rides bikes, or electric cars.  We will grow most all foods locally in the cities or the surrounding lands nearby.  So the 50% of land for streets and highway in the major cities will end and become parks, bike paths, and growing areas for foods and man will ban the internal combustion engines from cities.

Long haul trucking will be cut in half overnight and the railroads used extensively for large load transportation of goods.  And bio-diesel and LP gas fuels will be widely used in all trucking.

Passive solar panels will be the major cheap heating source for mankind in all climates. And energy conservation will be forced on all of us to the most extreme degree as electricity will be lost for many months or years to come.

People will have time to read books, meditate, garden, and home school their children.  The internet and neighborhood schools will become the only school children ever know.  And so the best teachers tape their lectures and distribute them free to children to learn on the internet.

In 2012 the CME Hand of God will give mankind a second chance and it will give Mother Nature or Gaia  a breather from mankind’s careless past abuses of Earth.  

All of this is speculation of course.  But mankind might be able to prepare now to limit much of the damage of these CMEs in 2012.  All hardware in space will probably be lost but ground electronics might be saved by enclosing them permanently in aluminum sheeting or other metals to isolate them.  And individuals might wrap electronics in aluminum foil or the aluminum space blankets to prevent damage.  But again all this is speculation and little research is focused on this possible damage to Earth in 2012 by flares and CMEs.  

Our scientists and governments need to take steps now to prevent widespread damage to electronic and electrical infrastructures in 2012 or before when the 24th solar maximum begins.  Most of these electrical substations upon which we rely on for electricity take many years to produce.  If all of them are knocked out by the sun’s CME then it might take 20 year or more to replace them all.  An ounce of prevention might save the Earth from years of 19th century living when the electrical stations are severely damaged by CMEs. — J.E.
