Hot Tips in a Cold Bathroom
The one room that many homeowners overlook when winterizing their house is the bathroom, which -- in the winter -- can often feel like the coldest room in the house.

Bare feet on tile in January in Michigan really do wake you up in the morning. There are a number of ways to take the chill from your bathroom, ranging from fixes requiring a contractor, to easy-do-it-yourself ideas. Whatever your budget, here are some of the solutions that may work for you.

Don't Get Caught with Your Parts Down
Parts is parts, right? Not for business owners. If you own a business in the United States, you have another government regulation to deal with. It pertains to your lighting. The Department of Energy (DOE) will be implementing new regulations regarding the manufacture and sale of fluorescent lamp ballasts. According to the DOE, this will result in significant energy savings and emission reductions. Lighting accounts for 20-25% of all electricity consumed in the United States.

The Greening of the American Office
Environmental Responsibility Doesn’t Stop at Home

(ARA) – April 22nd marks the 35th anniversary of Earth Day -- and the good news is that more and more Americans are thinking of creative ways to recycle, reuse and be more environmentally conscious. But once you leave the confinements of “home sweet home,” what can you do from 9 to 5 to continue your “green” way of life?

Just like your house, most offices consume water, energy, paper and other products -- the result of which produces a deluge of waste. But the office furniture industry is a prime example of a market segment that is quietly, but effectively, converting its product designs and manufacturing technologies to have a more positive environmental impact -- partially in response to government programs, but also because consumers are demanding products that are gentler on the environment. The industry, in fact, is responding to the green phenomena in some amazing, highly creative ways.

Re: Is Thorium the answer?
I agree, we do need to get out of the solutions mentality and get with the program; our way of life needs to be re-imagined. But it sets me off when people

Car Wars - Hummer vs. Hoopty
What kind of vehicle do you drive? Why did you choose that particular vehicle? Answering those two simple questions may open a window into the inner workings of your mind. I was pondering my answers to the questions while stuck in the morning rush hour traffic around Detroit. As I sat, looking straight into the bumper of a 2003 Hummer, I knew Mad Max would have been proud of me.

My 1993 Tercel (i.e. Hoopty: beat up old car with a dull paint job and no hubcaps) braves the rush hour traffic and does an admirable job. It's kind of ugly and extremely small but it doesn't cost much at all to own.

Oh Baby - It's Cold Outside 
Oh baby.  It's definitely cold outside and snuggle weather is upon us again.  Once we get that 'shiver' thing going,   it's sometimes difficult to stop.  I guess it's to be expected in the morning when we get in a cold car (love those vinyl seats) or when we take out the garbage in our pajamas, but you know it's cold when you need to snuggle just to keep your teeth from chattering when you go to bed at night.  My wife kind of likes me this winter...  

Shivering is involuntary muscle tensing that generates heat and offers a warming effect. When you first become slightly chilled, you'll find yourself doing an isometric type of muscle tensing that can increase your metabolic rate two to four times.
