Whats the best brand of power saving light bulbs? And the Heating bill here where i live is EXPENSIVEit gets up to -40c here and i was wondering if there are any tricks or anything that can help keep your house warm with out having the heat on full blast.
They use kind of like a crane to put them on the tracks.
Initially, they're built on tracksIf they're derailed they get picked up by large cranes.
they actually build them ON the rail there are subassemblies, bodies, frames etcbut they are all put together directly on the truck assemblies so there is no need to put them on the track.
Would you try this on the freeway, with a fast on-coming vehicle? It is possible to have a train pass over you without injury, but there are a load of 'Ifs': If you lay face down, feet towards the trainIf you are very thinIf there is no equipment slung too low under the locomotive or vehiclesIf there are no dangling brake hoses, chains, brake beamsIf you can keep perfectly stillHowever, in the USA I'd say you had no chanceIn Europe, where the railways are generally fenced-off, the train wheels are protected from obstructions on the track by 'guard-irons' - substantial vertical metal bars in front of the leading wheels and about two inches above the railsIn the states, all locomotives have a 'pilot' in front - the old-fashioned 'cowcatcher'This heavy steel forging stretches right across the front of the train, from one rail to the otherUnless you are less than six inches thick, forget it! Finally, although this may sound like a cool trick, spare a thought for the engineer: suddenly faced with a person laying on the track in front of him (or her) with no chance of stopping.
I like the GE spiral fluorescents with the regular light bulb baseFor your house, probably the best thing would be to add more insulation, add storm windows if you don't have them, and caulk any leaks you can findAlso, make sure you don't have air space around your doorsYou can put weather stripping around them.
