		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Kristi Ambrose <BR>Article: Recently I was doing some research about solar power and I found this really interesting article about Japanese homes being sold with pre-installed solar power!  This is actually a pretty amazing concept if you think about it because most of us have to install this stuff on our own.  But here, you can actually buy the home with the solar power technology already installed!  The whole point of utilizing solar power is to embrace the &#8220;go green&#8221; motto.  But this isn&#8217;t just about cleaner air and improving the environment, its also about replenishing your bank account.  Today for a solar powered watt per hour you will pay about $4!  And there are new technologies being introduced every single day.  </p>
<p>In fact, one company has introduced a system called The PV System. This system connects to the nearest power grid; whenever there is a surplus of solar energy being collected at a particular home, it is transferred to the power grid for dispersed utilization and as a way of lowering the grid&#8217;s dependence on the hydroelectrically-driven electrical energy production. Being linked to the PV System can keep your prices down as equated to full-fledged solar energy, while at once reducing down the pollution and taking pressure off the power grid system. Some places are designing centralized solar accumulation arrays for small townships or suburban communities!  </p>
<p>So built in solar powered panels help to achieve cost saving goals.  When excess power is generated by the panels, the surplus is sold back to the local power company and homeowners can make a few extra dollars.  Inside these solar power pre-installed homes the walls show the mount of electricity the panels are generating and the amount the home is consuming.  Now right now I don&#8217;t know of any builders in the US that have the same options for solar power pre-installation like Japan offers but I do know that there are companies that are willing to come to your house to install something like this.  There are also projects in which you can do on your own.  Now in my experience with reading through this information; having a company actually come to your house, can be expensive.  Whereas if you do it yourself by buying a program or an e-book to help you build your own solar powered generators it costs a lot less, and I mean A LOT less.  Here are a few books you might want to check out regarding solar power and building your own generators:</p>
<p>Earth 4 Energy &#8211; A complete step-by-step guide. This guide will give you steps on how to form your own DIY solar and wind powered generators and it&#8217;s as easy as 1-2-3! This book contains some really terrific additions to make it easy to understand and comprehend, such as step-by-step instructions and illustrations!</p>
<p>Make Natural Power &#8211; A great All-In-One guide. This book has been chosen among many &#8220;green&#8221; favorable Internet sites as the number 2 choice of all the books available out there (earth 4 energy being number 1). This is another easy to follow guide on how to build up your own renewable energy resources.</p>
<p>Home Made Energy &#8211; Easy step-by-step methods. Bill Ford is the author of this book and he will teach you a plan that he came up with on how to beat the energy companies at their own dirty games. These energy systems can be implemented into any one&#8217;s home for just a few dollars.

		<title>Environmental Stewardship Initiative: Great For The Natural Resources Of North Carolina</title>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Samson Paulotti <BR>Article: As early as 1998, the government of North Carolina has foreseen and seen the harmful effects that human activities will have on the environment. During that year, the lawmakers of the state had issued Executive Order 156, which challenged the state to protect the North Carolina resources and set an example for all other states to follow.</p>
<p>This challenge was gladly welcomed by a lot of agencies in the state-all who had also been planning on such an endeavor to focus on sustainable development while keeping everything green. A lot of projects were born while others were developed. One of these is the Environmental Stewardship Initiative (ESI).</p>
<p>ESI is a program under the wing of the North Carolina resources agency, which is also called DENR. The main mission is to aid all agencies or organizations to reduce their environmental footprints to pass regulatory requirements and give recognition due to those who were able to achieve and maintain such a very important environmental commitment.</p>
<p>The North Carolina resources are among the most beautiful and pollution-free in the entire United States because of the many agencies that work hand in hand to keep it so. Although it is a voluntary program, a lot of agencies have signed up, all wanting to keep the environment as healthy and pollution free as possible, with possible North Carolina restoration, if needed.</p>
<p>The North Carolina resources have benefited from the actions of this agency. The program has enjoined not only manufacturers in the state but also other agencies such as businesses, schools, government agencies, service providers, and non-profit agencies. Through efforts done to keep emission and energy usage within required limits, the North Carolina resources and environment are at the prime level now.</p>
<p>There are different levels available for an organization to apply for to help keep the North Carolina resource safe and unpolluted. Any of these levels has its own responsibility, goals, and qualifications. Of course, each application will pass through the rigid scrutiny of the DENR.</p>
<p>Organizations will usually start off as partners. This level is fit for those agencies who offer their commitment to comply with all the rules or regulations of the DENR, comply with the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, and report the progress that the company or agency has done towards attaining all these goals each year. In turn, the DENR will assist the company in maintaining the EMS standard, offer specialized training and mentors for environmental stewardship, and other benefits.</p>
<p>Next off, the company can then apply as rising stewards. Not only does the company commit to comply with the laws of DENR, but it has to go beyond that compliance. Rising stewards have ISO 14001, which have been certified by a third party and/or reviewed (onsite) by the DENR. Not only are the rising stewards entitled to what the first level is entitled, but more benefits are given such as recognition of participation in the program with the award presented by no less than the DENR secretary.</p>
<p>The goal of each organization is to reach the level of steward. This role has the most prestigious but greatest responsibility towards the North Carolina resources.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Art Gib <BR>Article: Knockout roses were first introduced in 1999 as a tough and hardy rose that is exceptionally resistant to disease and an ability to withstand a wide range of harsh conditions. As such, they require little attention from the gardener in order to produce satisfactory results making them perfect for a beginning gardener. This has made it one of fastest selling new roses when it was introduced.</p>
<p>The knockout rose is a shrub that will grow pretty much anywhere you choose to plant it. It shows exemplary hardiness under a variety of conditions, and grows equally well in sun or the shade. However, for best results use soil with a neutral pH balance (6.6-7.5), use a soaker hose, and expose them to full sun.  If full sun is not available, don&#8217;t sweat it. Knockout roses are quite shade tolerant and can flourish with as little as four hours of sun per day. Be sure to prune them early to promote new growth.</p>
<p>Each shrub will produce three-inch diameter blooms and grow up to four feet high and three feet wide, so space your plants appropriately. If you choose, knockout roses can also be trained as a tree form. The flowers will bloom in late spring to early summer. </p>
<p>The color of the flowers will depend on the weather. Warm summer months result in cherry red petals while cool weather brings fire-engine red colors. The foliage, meanwhile, produces a dark, purplish-green color that turns to a dark burgundy in the fall. The knockout is also said to be the longest blooming rose on the market.</p>
<p>The Resilience of the Knockout Rose</p>
<p>Through careful breeding, the knockout rose has gained a strong reputation of hardiness with an ability to grow under virtually any conditions, even proving resiliently resistant to mildew, rust, and black spot.</p>
<p>Whether you live in the humidity of the Florida coast or the dry desert of Arizona, knockout roses can handle both extreme environments and are drought resistant. Because roses in general are weak and quite disease prone, the knockout rose is a perfect choice for anybody having difficulty maintaining a healthy rose garden, or has been wishing for a virtually carefree rose bush.</p>
<p>Thanks to their resiliency and ability to grow with little tending, you can expect to find knockout roses appearing in many gardens across the country. If you&#8217;re looking for a rose that won&#8217;t cause you to pull your hair out, then knockout roses are the rose for you.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Aydan Corkern <BR>Article: A tornado are very dangerous, it can do so much damage when one hits the ground. Homes, buildings, properties, and many other things are destroyed or damaged in minutes, sometimes seconds. At least a few people die every year from tornadoes and hundreds get injured and become homeless. This is due to the strong winds and debris fling everywhere. A tornado is usually formed in a thunderstorm that can also bring other things with it like hail, lightning,and heavy rain. Even when a home is spared complete destruction, it can still have severe wind and water damage. </p>
<p>Storms like these usually occur in the late winter and springtime. Strong frontal systems are usually, but not always, formed around the center of the United States and move towards the east. Tornadoes are formed in the thunderstorm when a dry line takes place. This is when the warm moist air from the east is separated from the drier air of the west. Unless you are a meteorologist, it can be a little complicated to understand. Even now, they are still trying to figure out specifics about tornadoes so they can more easily predict when they might occur. </p>
<p>When you live in an area where tornadoes are common at those specific times of the year, then it is always wise to have a safe place to get in the home if there is a tornado warning issued. A tornado watch will only mean that conditions are favorable for the formation of a twister. A tornado warning issued by the National Weather Service means that a tornado has been spotted near your area and you should always take cover immediately.</p>
<p>It is said that the safest places to get in the home is in a basement or in a room where there are walls all around like a closet. You should stay away from the windows as much as possible and try to cover yourself with with something heavy like chair cushions or even blankets if that is all you have. A light weight mattress from a bed is ideal for protection if you have time to retrieve one. The idea is to cushion your body so that flying debris or falling objects that might hit you may cause you less injury.</p>
<p>Even with the excellent warnings that we are able to get these days when there are severe storms with tornadoes approaching, it still is not enough to be able to stop the damage they do. Even if you are in the safest place in the home or stop your car and get into a ditch if you are driving, there are never any guarantees that a tornado will spare you.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Aydan Corkern <BR>Article: When a bad storm comes so can tornadoes and you have watch out for this because when the cold and the warm air mix it can cause them to form. They can come at any time of the year, but they mostly come May and in June and there are some people that call it that time period tornado season. We have been through about or over 750 tornadoes and people have died and been injured because of them. That&#8217;s why we have sirens to warn us that one or more are coming your way and you need to get to safety before it hit your town or your home. </p>
<p>When they hit, they throw debris everywhere, they rip things apart in seconds, rip trees out of the ground and throw them and it can throw it right through your house. Did you know that it can take a piece of hay and put it in stone or concrete because the wind is so powerful; it can do so much destruction that you will not believe the damage it has caused. If you&#8217;ve never seen a tornado or seen what it can do, then here is an example. Example: if you have kids and there are is always a mess, like a disaster when through it well that what a tornadoes will do. But, just imagine building, homes, and everything in your town scattered everywhere.  Think about a big gray cloud spinning in the air that has dirt and other stuff inside of it.</p>
<p>How much damage there&#8217;s going to be depends on how big the tornado is. But they will all do damage just depends on how much of the town gets destroyed. If there is a F five tornadoes and your town is small it can wipe out half or over half of it because the F five is a mile long and that is big, in the movie &#8216;Twister&#8217;  they called it &#8220;the finger of God&#8221;; that&#8217;s how they described it because it is the biggest of all the tornadoes. It doesn&#8217;t happen a lot, but when it does watch out!  Get to some place that you and your family will be safe from it. If you have a cellar, then you need to get into it and stay away from the door because it can rip that door right off the hinges.  In a situation like this, underground is always the safest place to be.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Jeff Casmer <BR>Article: Regardless of the type of lawn mower a person owns it will have to go through one or more lawn mower repairs at some point of its life, even top manufactures and models that worked perfectly in the beginning will require a tune up of at least one part.</p>
<p>One can prevent serious lawn mower repairs if maintenance is done on the machine regularly. In most cases lawn mowers repairs are due to a lack of attention to the machine.</p>
<p>But by doing maintenance checks every winter before storage and every spring before use as well as cleaning the underneath of the mower by scraping it and using and air compressor to clean the engine, air filter and carburetor you can avoid a number of repairs.</p>
<p>Prevention is often better the cure. Because lawn mower repairs can be costly, maintaining your machine is far more cost effective then neglecting it and then running out to purchase new parts.</p>
<p>That said, nearly all mowers will need a repair at some point. This may be a small repair such as replacing the blade or larger like repairing the small engine that powers the lawn mower. This may include replacing a clogged fuel filter, which is a common reason for why the lawn mower wont start, stalls or dies during use.</p>
<p>Lawn mower repairs are often tricky for the average user because in most cases the actual problem does not show up in the part that needs to be repaired but rather somewhere else in the machines.</p>
<p>For instance if your spark plug needs to be replaced it could be because there are snags in the carburetor. In this case, replacing the spark plug may help but you will also have to get the carburetor looked at. So lawn owners are often playing doctor to their lawn mowers as they try to diagnose the disease behind the symptoms.</p>
<p>Looking at every symptom or problem and trying to decipher what could be the cause is the best way to get to the root of the problem. Consider the problem. Is the problem that the lawn mower vibrates during use? Is it that it wont start?</p>
<p>Often, a lawn mower that will not start may be out of fuel or the ration of the fuel mix may be incorrect. By ruling out each cause related to starting the mower you can find the solution.</p>
<p>However, the lawn mower owner may not be able to get to the bottom of the issue or they may find, during the process, that the mower needs a serious repair. In each case it is best to call in a professional.</p>
<p>Professional lawn mower repairmen, not only fix major repairs but they also help lawn mower owners figure what is wrong with their lawn mower. The owner can then get some quotes on the repair cost and determine if fixing it is the best option or if the lawn mower has seen better days and a new mower is in order.</p>
<p>Lawn mowers are essential for keeping a healthy lawn. And repairing your lawn mower can help prolong its life.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Mike Selvon <BR>Article: Although bird watching is an activity that can be done virtually anywhere on the planet, Africa remains one of the most popular destinations on the planet for a bird watch adventure. Specifically, there is a substantial portion of the tourism industry in Southern Africa that is meeting the needs of bird watching in Africa. Service providers recognize the needs and desires of bird enthusiasts and create safaris and adventures designed with the serious bird watcher in mind.</p>
<p>What Region is Best?</p>
<p>Bird Watching in Africa is also popular on the Eastern portion of the continent. The bulk of the tourism is in the South, but a larger number of species exist in the Eastern nations of Kenya and Tanzania than anywhere else. Boasting over 1300 species, bird watchers in Eastern Africa have the opportunity to see 15% of the world&#8217;s bird population in one trip. While the number is not so striking in the South, it is still substantial at 920 species. This equates to about 10% of the world&#8217;s known species. </p>
<p>The nations that make up the Southern bird watch areas are Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. South Africa specifically provides a number of government sponsored parks and reserves where avian life is abundant. Any birder who is interested in researching bird watching in Africa should be sure to look at Kruger National Park, Ndumu Game Reserve, Greater St. Lucia Wetland Park, West Coast National Park, the De Hoop Nature Reserve, and Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. These locations provide prime habitat for many of the countries&#8217; 900 species of birds, and ensure that your trip will include many varieties of bird watching opportunities.</p>
<p>When considering East Africa for bird watching, Kenya provides a diverse range of opportunities. From the Central Highlands, which are heavily forested, to the lower lying lakes region, Kenya is a haven for many of Eastern Africa&#8217;s bird species. When considering Kenya, be sure to check out Aberdare National Park, Amboseli National Park, Lake Baringo, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria, Mount Kenya National Park and the Kakamego Forest Reserve. Several of these parks also serve as the home to various species of primates that are sure to attract your attention as you keep your binoculars turned towards the trees searching for birds.</p>
<p>Make the Most of this Incredible Bird Watching Destination </p>
<p>As with any major investment, make sure that you know what you are getting before you put any money on the table to go bird watching in Africa. There are a large number of service providers who will be competing for your business, and you should make sure that you are getting exactly what you want. Research the outfitter you choose. Read reviews and don&#8217;t be afraid to talk to other people who have used them.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Aydan Corkern <BR>Article: Do you know that not only do we receive damages from severe rainstorms or floods but so do our lakes and streams by their banks giving away? This very thing happened in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and this kind of storm caused a whole lake in Wisconsin to disappear. As Katrina was a hurricane, the storms that did the damage in Wisconsin were several heavy rainstorms. These storms caused a breach in this lake&#8217;s coastline where the water was allowed to run out, and it caused flooding of this town. Now the town is going to refill the lake because it is their biggest summer time tourist&#8217;s attraction.</p>
<p>This happened on June 9. The dam that separated the lake was called Lake Delton and flowed from the Wisconsin River. The town people sand bagged the dam to keep the waters at bay. Well, the dam held its own, but Lake Delton didn&#8217;t. With nowhere to go, the water raised, eating away at a section of the lake&#8217;s coastline causing a 700-foot channel. It took part of a highway and five homes that were along this part of the shoreline. This lake was built in the mid-1920&#8242;s and since then, it has become known as the Water Park Capital with tourists bringing in more than a billion dollars last year alone.</p>
<p>Now after six months of construction work and the engineering work that came first, the city officials say that they are ready to start refilling this lake and the town&#8217;s people can hardly wait as they lost a lot of money since this act of nature hit their town. The construction workers renovated the dam of Lake Delton by improving its spillways and gates to allow more water to pass through. The state and local officials plan to close the dams at Mirror Lake and Delton Lake to help with the cutting out of some of the fish that might cause a problem.</p>
<p>After this procedure is done, they will open the dam at Mirror Lake to allow Dell Creek to again start flowing into Lake Delton, which they say will take until May before it is back to the way it was so that people can start coming back into the town to enjoy all of the shops and sights around this lake. As heavy rain and the flooding there after caused this terrible thing to happen, we need to make sure that all of our lakes, levies, and dams are safe and secure so that this same thing doesn&#8217;t happen again.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Samson Paulotti <BR>Article: Salt marshes have a lot of uses and are very important to the ecosystem although it only occupies about 0.1 percent of the whole area of New Hampshire. They develop on sediment deposits which are naturally found along the rocky pits, sand bars and barrier beaches in New Hampshire&#8217;s coasts. They are a valuable natural resource since they are rare.</p>
<p>Their ecological integrity includes the following: shore line anchoring which controls and prevents shoreline erosion, storm surge protection in which the marsh protects the surrounding upland from storms, the ability to do restoration and improve the quality of the water passing through the marsh and the suitability of the marsh to be a habitat for wildlife, finfish and shellfish.</p>
<p>Salt marshes contribute a lot to the preservation of natural resources. Unfortunately, a lot of New Hampshire&#8217;s salt marshes have been damaged by man-made activities. There are a lot of factors affecting the integrity of salt marshes. One is of these happens when there is a change of species composition especially in New Hampshire where the sprouting of common reed, purple loosestrife, or narrow leaf cattail can invade and tend to crowd out the salt marsh vegetation. They invade salt marshes, reducing salinity conditions. Then there are other factors such as leaking septic or sewer systems that may increase the invasion of tidally restricted salt marshes by invasive plants.</p>
<p>Another reason for the destruction of salt marshes in New Hampshire is the effect of filling. There were many acres of salt marsh on the New Hampshire seashore that were filled in the past for development. Even though filling is no longer allowed in New Hampshire, the effects of the past fillings are still influencing remnant salt marshes.</p>
<p>The need do to restoration in New Hampshire especially on salt marshes is a top priority. The plan of action to do restoration is to restore all potentially restorable salt marshes in New Hampshire that was impacted by restrictions to tidal flow. The Natural Resources Conservation Service did a study and identified 100 potential marsh restrictions, primarily culverts and bridges, and from those 100 sites, 84 were selected for further assessment.</p>
<p>The procedure of restoration included surveying the size and shape of those elevated openings of the marsh, surveying of tidal creeks or rivers for restrictions and associated marsh segments and a corrective action of restoration that was done by enlarging the opening point at that the marsh surface that would be covered with at least 10 cm of tidal water 7 days a month.</p>
<p>Since this inventory and evaluation of restoration took effect, 350 acres of marsh had been restored resulting in the proper tidal flow in the area. Restoration measures also took place with the restoration of tidal flow, restoration of tidal creeks, removal of fill, reduction in excess nutrients and reduction of non-natural concentrations of fresh water.</p>
<p>But still there are some areas in New Hampshire that proper restoration for salt marsh cannot be done, especially in areas that are surrounded by residences.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Andrew Oke <BR>Article: When we moved off the grid 16 long years ago one of the things we wanted to do was build our own off grid home. My father had always wanted to build his own house because it would be built the way he wanted&#8230; not something that he had to settle for. The first thing we did was build a small cabin that we could live in during the summer months while we were building our off grid home.</p>
<p>Our goal by the end of the summer was to have at least the first floor finished so that we could live in it for the winter.</p>
<p>The great part about where we live is that bed rock is only about 3 &#8211; 5 feet down so we were able to put the foundation right on the bed rock. After pouring the footings it was time to put the concrete block up. You don&#8217;t really know how heavy they are until you lift a couple hundred of them. After you get the blocks up it actually starts to look like a house.</p>
<p>The next step is to put in the floor joist. These are the pieces of wood below your floor which supports everything you put on it. We made ours out of a bunch of 2 x 11&#8242;s nailed together. After you have the floor joists put up you can lay down your floor so you can put the walls up.</p>
<p>This is when the house really starts to look like a house. The best part is that it can be done in one day. To begin with you&#8217;ll have to build each wall frame before putting it up. It&#8217;s very important that you brace each part of the wall as you put it up because before it&#8217;s all attached together it&#8217;s quite weak.</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve done that you can tack plywood to the outside and put the weather sheet on. After we had finished this part it was too late in the season for us to complete the second floor so we decided to put the floor down and put tar paper on top so we could live in it for the winter.</p>
<p>The tar paper was a mistake. It&#8217;s very fragile and rips easily. We ended up putting plastic on top of the tar paper which made it leak proof.</p>
<p>After that it was time to insulate the inside and do some interior work. We installed a fire place and made sure we had lots of wood for the winter (because the house wasn&#8217;t insulated too great) and hunkered down for the winter.</p>
<p>The next spring we were able to take the plastic off the second floor and finish the roof of the house. It&#8217;s really a great feeling knowing that &#8216;YOU&#8217; built that.

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Jamie Lyons <BR>Article:<br />
A house becomes a home when people begin to live in it. Countless memories are attached with each and every corner of the house. Homes are not temporary places and last for years. The style and utility of the house should be kept up with the times. After a few years, the decor begins to seem old and monotonous. There arise new needs which were not present when it was built. All these have one single solution, Home improvement. This is a simple and cost efficient way to completely transform the way a house, looks. A few minor changes can make a whole lot of difference and impart a unique but modern touch.</p>
<p>When home improvement is considered, it is important to look at the overall budget available and the changes which are desired. Once they are finely balanced, the work can begin. There are many ways in which the house may be improved. The changes may be structural or decorative. Structural changes like addition of rooms or enlarging the rooms require extensive construction. The decorative changes may be made in terms of bedroom, kitchen and bathroom remodelling. This involves replacing the fixtures, change in flooring and additions in the bathrooms.</p>
<p>Change in the flooring is one major way to completely renovate the look of the entire house. The options in terms of flooring are diverse. Tiles can be used depending on the colour of the room. Laminating the flooring is another option which helps in changing the decor. Huge mirrors can be mounted on the walls; they are contemporary and enhance the surroundings. Changing the furniture and including newer glass topped furniture can also help.</p>
<p>Kitchens and bathrooms can be most extensively remodelled. The scope is wide due to the availability of more options. In the kitchen, everything from the lighting to the taps and the cabinets can be changed. A new sink and fresh paint can alter the entire kitchen at a very low cost. If more modifications are required, all the counters and appliances may also be replaced. These can drastically increase the storage space available. Bathrooms are also capable of complete and simple transformation. The addition of new shower panels and a bath are some of the easiest methods. Including a bigger mirror with storage space in the back and new tiles are also efficient in imparting a whole new look to the bathroom.</p>
<p>A huge budget is never a necessary pre-requisite to secure a complete home makeover. Home improvements are easy and proficient and can infuse new vitality in the home. A simple change on lighting and new paint together with fresh flooring is sufficient to reach the desired object and that too with much lesser resources.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>By Author: Aydan Corkern <BR>Article: Have you ever had the chance to watch a lightning storm? These storms can really make the sky light up especially at night. But with this lightning can come the fires that lightning bolts can cause if it hits something. Lightning can cause the item it hits to burst into flames that can get out of hand in a matter of seconds. If it hits a batch of trees and it is not yet raining, this fire will be harder to put out as it will have all kinds of dry food. As long as this fire has the trees and air, it can live a long time or until the fire department or heavy rain gets it put out.</p>
<p>In some cases, it can be deadly when lightening strikes people or animals. If a lightening bolt  happens to hit you, and it could, it could do two different things. For one it could enter your body by the metal you have on or the metal you might be touching in some way or if you are standing in water. If it does notarticle you out right, it could travel down your body to come out your feet and hands. If this does happen, you will not only have to deal with the terrible burns you will receive, but all of the other health problems that can also show up. It can damage your nervous system, give you sleeping disorders, headaches, and dizziness.</p>
<p>Some of you love to watch storms and some of you even try to chase them. You would be referred to as storm watchers or storm chasers. Some do this for research and some just for fun, but this can be a very risky and dangerous practice. It is much smarter to seek shelter someplace safe because no amount of information you might collect or thrill you might get is worth risking your life for. Never stand in or near water, even a small amount, and never stand under trees. You need to make sure that you check with the coast guard before you go out on the water. If you are already out on the water, playing golf, or enjoying any other outdoor activities and the weather turns bad, get inside right away.</p>
<p>If you happen to be driving in your car and it is lightening a great deal, try to find someplace to pull off and go into a building and wait. Lightening has been known to strike cars and hurt people inside. In any event, it is always better to be safe than sorry. Taking precaution and staying inside during bad weather, especially weather with lightening is just common sense everyone should use.
