Safety with your cell phone at the fuel mart!
Subject: Fw: Cell Phone Fires.... when it found this I got to thinking. We have heard of cell phones possibly giving us cancer etc. So if you have any doubts some people use snopes.com They seem to tackle legends. Better to be forewarned in case this could happen. Not worth losing gas, your skin or safety. Good luck!
The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after three incidents in which mobile phones (cell phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations.
In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed the car and the gasoline pump.
In the second, an individual suffered severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as they answered a call while refueling their car.
And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car.
You should know that:
Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes
Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition
Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn mowers, boat! , Etc.
Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around other materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (i.e. solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc.)
To sum it up, here are the: Four Rules for Safe Refueling
1) Turn off engine
2) Don't smoke
3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the vehicle or turn it off
4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fueling
Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is working on a campaign to try and make people aware of fires as a result of"static electricity" at gas pumps. His company has researched 150 cases of these fires.
His results were very surprising:
1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women.
2) Almost all cases involved the person getting back in their vehicle while the nozzle was still pumping gas. When finished, they went back to pull the nozzle out and the fire started, as a result of static.
3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes.
4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely finished. This is why they are seldom involved in these types of fires.
5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas
6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that cause the fire, when connected with static charges.
7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was touched during refueling from a variety of makes and models. Some resulted in extensive damage to the vehicle, to the station, and to the customer.
8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap was removed and before fueling began.
Mr. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your vehicle while filling it with gas.
If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the gas is pumping, make sure you get out, close the door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull the nozzle out. This way the static from your body will be discharged before you ever remove the nozzle.
As I mentioned earlier, The Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with several other companies now, are really trying to make the public aware of this danger. You can find out more information by going to <http://www.pei.org/> . Once here, click in the center of the screen where it says "Stop Static".

A company worth a look!
There is a site that you can check out with the silky and natural fibers of clothing and nightwear and even other things. They are environmental minded and that is refreshing in this day and age. You pay for quality and they are very service oriented. http://www.dreamsack.com/XQ/ASP/1.Info/QX/Index.htm
Here is what she says on her site.
For a number of years my husband and I worked overseas. Our family traveled extensively, especially through Asia where sleeping accommodations were often rough. I made bed liners from old cotton sheets, but they were heavy to carry around. Because of my experience living in China, I was hit with the realization that these liners would be more comfortable, lighter, and more compact if they were made of silk. I had been a teacher in China, and after graduation one of my students worked in a silk factory so she and I worked together to get the first order completed. Friends and family liked them. Then word began to spread and now DreamSacks are used by travelers all over the world.
People that had DreamSacks called and said they liked sleeping in DreamSacks and asked if would we make some silk products to use on their beds at home. I remembered being in China and seeing silk comforters. I thought these sounded wonderful, so I worked with a factory to adapt the idea for the USA market. In addition to being soft, luxurious, and soothing, silk also helps people who are sensitive to chemicals or who have allergies. Being a natural fiber, silk is hypoallergenic, and feels restorative next to the skin. Chinese lore has it that sleeping on silk helps prevent wrinkles and “bed head”.
Through the years, DreamSacks has continued to evolve. We decided to expand our offerings to include products made from other natural fibers beyond just silks. We now offer an array of products made from Silk, Bamboo, Soy, and Cashmere. Recently, DreamSacks launched BambooDreams - a line of loungewear, nightwear, and yogawear made from 95% bamboo/5% spandex. We will be following the introduction of the bamboo clothing with bedding: sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers, all made of 100% bamboo.
We feel very fortunate to develop relationships with the factories that produce our products and with the people who buy them. We visit the factories often and work only with places that provide a safe and friendly work environment for their employees. The dyes used to make the brilliant silk colors are free of hazardous chemicals and meet the strict environmental standards the Europeans require for dyes.
For our customers, we strive to be a valued provider of products that comfort and nurture. Here are some of the responses we have received from happy customers: “The silk comforter feels like heaven.” “DreamSacks make one feel so spoiled and pampered.” “There is an extra dimension of warmth and friendliness with these products. Bravo!”
Whatever products you choose, we know you will enjoy our natural fibers. We appreciate your business as well as your feedback and suggestions.
Sweet Dreams,

I have found the Kiwidipa Klub!
Here is something that is duly notable. A new friend of mine which has helped me with Adsense has this book, wristband, Cub. Here is information in his own words. Read and consider this worthy goal!! http://bizpreneur.com/Kiwidipa/ is the site where you can sign up for the newsletter and thus more information.
It's an acronym for KIds WIth DIvorced PArents. I am in the process of finishing the Kiwidipa Klub, which is a fun filled fantasy story for all ages that has a serious background message about children that have to live in divorced family situations. The book will have a release date of November 27th, 2007.
It's finally here!! For a limited time from June 1st thru June 14th the Blue-Swirl Kiwidipa Klub Awareness Wristband will be available for purchase.
The Kiwidipa Klub book takes a journey through the fragile minds of children that deal with situations on an everyday basis in divorced families. Being able to send out a message of this nature by using fun imaginative storylines will not only allow parents to understand some of the thought processes that come from a child, but will also give the parents another outlook at what their children may be thinking and at the same time enjoying the story.
The book is based around 15 different bracelets that these children are in search for that possess different meanings and abilities. It is a story of adventure, love and meaning for all ages to enjoy.
This is only the beginning as the Kiwidipa Klub started out as an idea stemming from a question from my son that had to do with the divorce of his mom and I. It has blossomed into a wonderful story, and is in the building process of becoming a foundation. In order for that to happen I Need Your Help.
For the next 24 weeks I will be placing a different awareness wristband on my profile 2 weeks at a time. For adults it will be an avenue of showing support for families and friends that you have come across that endure the situations of divorce everyday. For children they will be able to feel as though they are in the story while they read or are being read to wearing one of these wristbands just like the bracelets in the Kiwidipa Klub.
You will find all the details below with pricing. You may pay through paypal or if you do not have a paypal account you may use your credit card through paypal just the same.
I appreciate the many people that have already begun to support the Kiwidipa Klub and I thank those of you who will support us in the future.

FeedBlitz in a Nutshell
FeedBlitz is a service that monitors blogs, RSS feeds and Web URLs to provide greater reach for feed publishers. FeedBlitz takes all the headache out of converting feed and blog updates into email digests, delivered daily to subscribers' inboxes. FeedBlitz manages subscriptions, circulation tracking, testing, and is compatible with all major blogging platforms and services such as Blogger, Typepad and FeedBurner. Unlike other blogmail services, FeedBlitz is reliable, scalable and fully supported. No betas, wish lists or road map items here. You're in production, and so is FeedBlitz.

FeedBlitz therefore provides a simple way for users to receive updates from their trusted sources using a familiar and ubiquitous medium - email.

Do you like scrapbooking?
Found online a site has a club you can join and enjoy the supplies, ideas and perhaps even connections to other scrapbookers. I like these kind of clubs since it helps to keep you motivated and a decent amount of supplies on hand. I have found these clubs easy to maneuver and enjoy them while I am participating. Good luck!!
Here is how it works!
Fourteen times per year, you?ll receive a Club Bulletin, featuring a Main Selection and 100 or more of the newest books, videos and DVDs.
To place an order or cancel the Main Selection, simply respond online or return your Selection Card by the marked date. If we don?t hear from you, we?ll send the Main Selection automatically.
You?ll always have at least 15 days to decide and return your Selection Card. If late mail delivery should ever cause you to receive a book you don?t want, you may return it at the Club?s expense.
You have no obligation to buy another book; you?re just agreeing to try the Club for 9 months. After that, you may cancel at any time. Each time you buy a book or product from the Club, your membership will be renewed for 6 months from the purchase date.
All offers are good for a limited time. We accept memberships for U.S. and Canadian customers. One membership per household only. Payment must be made in U.S. Funds. The Club reserves the right to approve all applications and may cancel membership at any time. Please allow 3-4 weeks for your first shipment.
This is what you see when you make it to the front page and these titles are indeed ones that my scrapbooking friends look for. Again, good luck!!
Welcome to The ScrapBook Club, the only book club exclusively for scrapbookers. It's where you will find titles such as Scrapbook Pages Starring Your Baby, Budget Scrapbooking, The Scrapbooker's Essential Guide to Color and many more wonderful books filled with inspirational ideas all in one place.

What is the NutriSystem® program, and why is it so effective?
The NutriSystem program is a complete, real life solution to losing weight. The easy-to-follow plan features low Glycemic Index, "good carb" NutriSystem® Nourish™ foods with optimal amounts of protein to help keep you satisfied and your blood sugar levels stable. You eat often throughout the day, and always get perfect portions with every prepackaged entrée, snack and dessert. In addition, because we know that nourishing your entire self extends beyond just what you eat, the program also includes two breakthrough plans—MindNourish™ and BodyNourish™--to help get your mind and body in gear for weight loss, too. Altogether, it's a total approach to losing weight. You lose weight while learning healthy eating habits you can use for life—all in one convenient plan.
How do I get started?
This program gives you a great way to lose weight and transform your body. You simply choose which 28-Day program is right for you (Women’s, Men’s, Silver for Women, Silver for Men, Type II Diabetic or Vegetarian) and then choose the foods you’d like to eat from more than 120 great-tasting, prepackaged entrees, snacks and desserts. You’ll select one perfectly-portioned breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert for each day (for 28 days), or you can simply order our 28-Day "Favorites Package" featuring a pre-selected assortment of our most popular foods. Either way, everything will arrive together on your doorstep, ready for you to begin losing weight.
Do I have to visit a center to participate in the NutriSystem program?
No. The NutriSystem program is a complete at-home program. You simply order your NutriSystem Nourish foods online or over the phone, and they're delivered right to your home or office. You participate from the privacy of your home, with no center visits or public weigh-ins necessary—ever. However, if you choose to, you can always call or go online to chat with one of our weight loss counselors. In fact, we recommend this at the start of your program to make sure you get all of your questions answered and get off to a great start.
Check out this link, it will tell you how it is different from other diets.
They have a payment option and it is said to be as low as 10 dollars a month. I think an active program like this and access to folk that can guide you and cheer you on is a plus. I wouldn't be surprised if a church group, or an office group could make this a success for the particular group. Check it out and I hope it helps you!!

When you need a new computer....
While I am a through and through Dell girl I have a suggestion for you. Dell sure has been wonderful since my housefire and made the acquisition of a new computer pretty easy and timely. I have found another site that could enable you to get a computer without paying too much. You could be computing and earning and making payments at the level you could handle. Here is the information....good luck!
MCC = My Computer Club
Our computer systems are BRAND NEW, built to high grade specifications, using quality components, and carry a full one-year warranty on parts and labor and tech support. All systems are first time user friendly right out of the box...
Just plug them in and go!
With our Easy Payment Plan and No Credit Checks you can own a new computer and pay as little as $20 a month regardless of your past credit history.
Buy it Now...Pay for it later
No Credit Checks
No Credit turndowns.
No interest fees.
Join the thousands of Members who would rather pay for performance than a fancy name and at the same time you can build or re-build your credit today with our computer financing!
Log into the "Members Only" My Computer Club web site to view the many different computers to choose from with over a dozen models we have the computer for you.
You may also choose from our many accessories and upgrades to compliment your new PC like: Printers, Video Gaming, Wireless networks, Scanners and digital Cameras! With our pre configured computer systems choosing the right PC for your needs is simple to do.

And the best part....
There's no credit checks or credit turndowns and never any interest fees to pay.
We report all good payment histories directly to Trans Union making this program a great way to improve your credit score!
Why pay up to 29% annual interest to those other computer companies when you don't have too!
Just say yes to the following and you qualify:
Are you 18 years of age or older?
Have you had a valid checking account for at least 6 months?
Have you been on your current job for at least 6 months?
Is your combined monthly income over $1,800?
If you said yes to the above then you qualify for up to $3,000 of interest free credit. Upon receipt of your purchase agreement you will simply need to send a copy of your utility bill, the top page of your bank statement, social security card, and payment stub.
Your current job history and an existing bank account is all that's required!
Other Services that we offer to our members also include:
Purchase computers & other products with up to $3,000 in credit.
