Starvation Or Powdered Eggs
Bought any powdered eggs or dehydrated milk lately? Why not? These would be two very useful items on a survivalist's grocery list, followed by canned meats, flour, wheat, rice, beans, canned cheese and butter, etc. If the answer is no, you are not prepared for survival in an emergency. And if your country experienced a national man-made or natural disaster, you would be one of many wishing that they had purchased not only nonperishable food stuffs but also essential survival items.
With impending nuclear disaster, terrorist attacks, earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, major riots or any other disaster that would cause a panicked rush on grocery stores, hardware stores, gas stations, etc., you may not have the time or the opportunity to do your survival preparedness shopping after such a disaster strikes. Many disasters are accompanied by roving gangs, riots, looting, curfews, power failures, blackouts, shortages of all kinds, hyper-inflation and -- depending on the disaster and its duration -- could be accompanied by possible widespread famine and disease.
Most people do not have extra food and water stored up, including survival tools and supplies. Many disasters result in the loss of utilities such as electric and gas, with water being the most critical. Water is the most important item for survival and few people have any reserve supply whatsoever. The food in your refrigerators and freezers will perish in two or three days without ice and much of the food in your pantry needs to be cooked such as rice, beans, oatmeal, etc. Do you own a camp stove or barbeque, and if so, how many days will the fuel last?
In addition to water storage, you should invest in at least six months of nonperishable food items such as flour, rice, beans, oatmeal, powdered eggs, canned or powdered milk, canned meats, fish, cheese, butter, etc. If you need to leave the area in a hurry, you should have an adequate supply of dried or dehydrated foods since they are light in weight, last for many months and are extremely nutritious and delicious. You should have a good first-aid kit, emergency crank radio for NORAD public announcements, portable hand pump reverse osmosis water filter, flashlight with extra batteries, a solar sun oven for cooking food and a solar oven dehydrator kit for preserving food by drying it. A sun oven reaches and maintains a temperature of 350 degrees and can cook a five-pound chicken in 1-1/2 hours or two loaves of bread in 45 minutes. Think of all the savings that dehydrating food will give you!
You should have an emergency plan for the family, such as where you will all meet after disaster strikes and all communication is lost. You should have small emergency packs with a change of clothes, two days' supply of food and water, etc. In the event you need to leave the neighborhood quickly, you will not be leaving with just the clothes on your back.
Please do not put it off any longer, for your sake and your family's start preparing today. Log on today to www.ready.gov and get started with an abundance of free preparedness information.

QUESTION:
What is the luminosity of a star with 12 times the solar mass of the Sun? ___ Solar Luminosity?
What is the luminosity of a star with 12 times the solar mass of the Sun? ___ Solar Luminosity-
ANSWER:
For main sequences stars with masses greater that 2 M_Sun, the rule of thumb is that L is proportional to M^3.5.So in this case L = 12^3.5 = 6,000 L_Sun.

QUESTION:
I heard a major sun solar flare is expected by 2011 and there could be a global electricity grid wipeout.?
Is there any truth to this? Has anyone else heard this? I saw it on a documentary on TV. There could be a blackout that lasts as long as months up to 2 years with no electricity, computer blackouts shutting out major airports, supermarkets etc. It will also apparently effect sewage pumping stations. Many things will stop. Can anyone shed any light on this solar flare from the Sun theory?-
ANSWER:
The History Channel, right?The sun reaches "solar maximum" ever 11 years or so. Sunspot and solar flare activity increases in the time leading up to this, and decreases afterwards in an 11-year cycle. The next maximum is 2012, but flares can occur any time; they're just more likely in the couple of years either side of that.
Powerful solar flares (which are rare) can cause communications difficulties and problems with power grids. Nothing that doesn't occur anytime there's a major thunderstorm, just more widespread.

QUESTION:
Solar Sun Rings VS Solar Sun Discs - What is the difference between these solar pool covers?
We have been looking for more information about these two products. We are excited to get one - we just want to find out as much as we can about them before we purchase one of these products to replace our solar swimming pool cover.-
ANSWER:
Hi, solar sun rings and solar sun discs seem very similar. Although I don’t have any personal experience with the solar sun discs, I do have experience with the solar sun rings. I had purchased the sun rings last year for my swimming pool and I wasn’t very pleased. First of all the sun rings did not, I repeat DID NOT, cover my pool. In the pictures on the website the sun rings look like they cover the pool very well, but they didn’t fit my pool properly. I was also disappointed in the way the rings were made. They were almost impossible to get them to lay flat in the pool. I also thought that they were a little flimsy. I wish that I had known more about the product before spending money on them.As far as the sun discs are concerned I am eager to see if they work as advertised. They pretty much seem to be everything the sun rings aren’t. They are durable, easy to use, and provide great coverage of the pool. I found this great website http://www.poolsupplyworld.com/blog/article/Solarsunringsvssolarsundiscscomparison/ that has a great comparison between these products. They look pretty legit so I am eager to give them a try. I’ll definitely post a follow up as soon as I get these in the water. I posted below a link to the blog as well as the product page where you can buy them.
