Where to face your solar panels

Monday, April 12th, 2010

First, you must remember that DIY solar electricity can only be effective if the solar panels are placed directly facing the sunlight and out of the shade. This includes cloudy days that can limit the electrical output of your panels. Dynamic mounts can be purchased which allow the solar panel to track the position of the sun in the sky allowing for optimal exposure to direct sunlight throughout the day. If you live north of the equator, you generally will be facing your panels towards the south and north if you live below the equator. Either way, it is always good to have a battery back up for those days where rain and clouds might otherwise prevent you from having power.

Pisces

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

If you’re a Pisces, you probably have a lot of friends, as you have an accepting and malleable nature that makes it easy for other people to be around you. A Pisces is more likely to go with the flow rather than swim upstream to try to change people or their environment.

They can be more emotional, rather than rational and analytical. They don’t thrive in highly disciplined environments. Nine-to-five jobs are anathema to the Pisces nature. They are drawn to situations where they can use their artistic gifts and their appreciation of art and nature. They love luxury and pleasure. They can think on their feet and an enjoy new situations and change. They are happiest in the fields of music, literature or art.

Who’s the ideal partner for the Pisces.Not the rugged, caveman type, for sure. A relationship with a Pisces will be meeting of the mind and spirit, less so than the body. Pisces are cerebral and not intensely sexual. The need to be courted gently. They are intensely loving and loyal and have a monogamous nature. Don’t abuse this rare creature. infertility

If you’re a Pisces, you may find yourself occasionally being walked over or taken advantage of because of your fluid nature. You may need to find ways to assert yourself that’s in harmony with your psyche. Because you tend to go with the flow and live in the moment, you might have a money-management style that can leave you short of funds at times. You may need to be stricter with yourself to ensure that doesn’t happen. Next time you’re drifting around a department store, just do a quick tally of everything before you get to the cashier. Put at least half of it back, if not more. Chances are it will still be there the next time you have money in your pocket!
