ATLANTA, GA, October 05, 2011 (Press-News.org) Atlanta fireplace supplier Craft Stove and Fireplace Center is promoting fire safety with guidance on how to safely enjoy a back yard fire pit. Crisp autumn nights are the perfect time to gather around a warm fire, and these tips will ensure that this pleasant family activity is also a safe one.
"The first stop in practicing fire safety is to take the right precautions," explains Melinda Pulliam, Director of Marketing for Craft Stove and Fireplace Center. "There are many easy steps you can take to minimize safety hazards."
Keep fires small, and avoid using gasoline, charcoal fire starters, or other incendiary chemicals. Instead, burn fatwood sticks or well-seasoned hardwoods that will produce less smoke when burnt. Check the weather conditions before starting a fire; a strong wind can make it difficult to get a fire going or can blow flames out of control.
No fire should ever be left unattended, whether it is contained in a firepit, fireplace, or an Atlanta wood stove; you never know when the wind will pick up and blow the fire in the wrong direction, or when a child will get to close to the flames.
Enjoy your fire pit as long as you like, but be sure to put out the fire before you go in for the night. By following these safety tips, Atlanta fire pit owners can enjoy the pleasant warmth of a fire pit without putting themselves or others in harm's way.

Long-lost Lake Agassiz offers clues to climate change
2011-10-06
Not long ago, geologically speaking, a now-vanished lake covered a huge expanse of today's Canadian prairie. As big as Hudson Bay, the lake was fed by melting glaciers as they receded at the end of the last ice age. At its largest, Glacial Lake Agassiz, as it is known, covered most of the Canadian province of Manitoba, plus a good part of western Ontario. A southern arm straddled the Minnesota-North Dakota border.
Not far from the ancient shore of Lake Agassiz, University of Cincinnati Professor of Geology Thomas Lowell will present a paper about the lake to the Geological ...

EARTH: down to earth with Nobel Prize winner Adam Riess

The three were using the brightness and color from supernovae to determine the speed with which the universe expanded in the past, versus how fast it is expanding now. What they discovered completely transformed how astronomers view the evolution of space. The growth of ...
You can wash away your troubles, with soap
2011-10-06
"Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain," goes the song. Is there such a thing as soap and water for the psyche? Yes: Metaphor is that powerful, say Spike W.S. Lee and Norbert Schwarz of the University of Michigan in a literature review appearing in the latest issue of Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science.
