Do the hot coals left over from a wood stove put in a metal bucket and left in my greenhouse give off CO2 or Carbon Monoxide or both? I do this to keep the temp above freezing - the greenhouse is not completely air-tight - due to my inept construction it cannot be :) - so there is some fresh air getting in. Will doing this kill my plants? I have done research but still am unclear.

A poll on CNN.com on the right side half way down. Occupy Wall Street or TEA Party I don't know how to post a link. Sorry

Just noticed on Twitter that someone started the hashtag #occupywallstreetmovies Alternate names for famous movies whilst poking fun of the occupiers. Some are very clever and most are funny. Examples: From Russia with Body Odor The sick scent Horde of the Flies Children of the ACORN

I just noticed on Twitter and Facebook that the Left is calling for a US Day of Rage on September 17th. The Twitter #s are: #USDOR, #occupywallstreet, #revolution Facebook: Occupy Wall St. or US Day of Rage They invite people to occupy Wall Street and DC and State Capitals. Publius is Very Unhappy! Bring your tents! Wall Street belongs to us! Demand the the top 2% pay their fair share! Lots of tweets but the Facebook pages are low volume. In addition, there is a group of Muslim activists that are pushing this and in England for the rioters to...

I just got asked by my local TEA Party to speak to the group about being a "Prepper". I have always kept quiet about it since I live in a rural area I assumed my neighbors knew how to "rough it" and grow things. Much to my surprise - they don't! So, I will start with basic survival prep and if they want more I will go all the way down to rendering fat to make soap and how to trap/kill and dress animals. I am also going to document "skills" of our members so if TSHTF will be able...

My daughter has a Samsung Galaxy S 4g phone - it has a camera in the front and back which work fine - however, she can't figure out how to use the HD Camcord function using the backward facing camera. Does it only work with the forward lense?

I am new to Television - have only had cable for 2 years and the price keeps inching up. I want to change to satellite TV and I keep getting the ads for both Direct TV and The Dish. I can't make heads nor tails of the offers and wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction? I am a techno-peasant so please be gentle with me. Thanks.

I just read that 4 states are exempt from Obamacare: Mass, Ohio, Tennessee and New Jersey. I missed this in the news. Anyone know how and why Tennessee is exempt?

I got an email from my Senators that explained why they voted for the treaty. They made a deal with Obama. Tax dollars for Tennessee! They met with him told him they would vote for the treaty and for money to update our nuclear weapons facilities and asked that he request those funds in his budget (quote): Implementation includes spending $3.6 billion for a new secured area at Oak Ridge, covering 15 acres instead of the current 150. It means tearing down the last 17 Cold War buildings. The more efficient facility will save taxpayers $200 million each year in...

My house is under contract. The buyer uses the same broker, different agents. Some repairs were agreed on – but the buyer didn’t like one repair. The wife of the Broker (who is also an agent) came with the Buyer’s agent (the owner’s daughter in law) and argued for more extensive and expensive repair methods. They were rude and argumentative and even threatened not to show our house any more. So, the Broker’s wife came with her daughter in law – the buyer’s agent - to fight with us – our agent wasn’t present. Is this an ethics violation? Seems...

Need some employment advice (vanity)
