Men don't cope well with grief as a rule. How can you help a man deal with grief and find the healing he needs? It's in the nature of a man to want to be in control Cheap Women's Nike Dunk High Pro SB Fur Pink Black Fuchsia , by letting him know that his mourning is a step toward the goal of healing, you help him to find that sense of control


Our society has placed clear expectations and requirements upon our roles as men and women. Boys learn quickly what is considered inappropriate behavior through such statements as, ?Stand up and take it like a man.?. From their earliest days the pressure is on to suppress their emotions, project strength and confidence, and grin and bear it through all kinds of pain and sorrow. What happens when boys reach adulthood? The messages become contradictory. You will find many grieving families in which only the wife and children are crying, and worried because Dad isn't crying. Yet if he does Cheap Men's Nike Dunk High SB Super Mario White Red Royal Blue , they get upset. Although a wife may be relieved that her partner is able to grieve, she may fear that his tears somehow lessen him as the stalwart of strength she holds him to be. Thus, men are criticised when they don't grieve, and their masculinity is questioned when they do. Men have been taught to hide their tears, and to replace their sadness with anger. Women have been shamed out of their anger and use the strength of tears in grief, men must learn to use their strength of anger to move into their tears.


Modern values require that men "get in touch" with their feelings Cheap Men's Nike Dunk High SB Google Colorful Blue Yellow Green White , they are expected to be more sensitive, yet strong and masculine. Once both men and women understand that a mixture of their masculine and feminine sides are at work in the grieving process, perhaps they will be more willing to allow the people in their lives to grieve in their own ways. Most men find it easier to mourn loss alone, but while ?easier?, it's not always better, and men can find a deep sense of comfort and support from each other. Griefnet lists online support groups accessible instantly all over the world.


Men really are different Biological differences offer some insight into why men grieve the way they do. Compared with women Cheap Men's Nike Dunk High Pro SB Grey Black Yellow , men have less prolactin, a hormone excreted by the pituitary gland, which is associated with emotional tears. Boys and girls have equal amounts until about age 12, then the level in boys plummets as testosterone levels rise. In the brain, the corpus callosum (the band between the two hemispheres) is a link between emotions and words. In men, the connection appears to be slower Cheap Men's Women's Nike Dunk High SB Black Metallic Grey Apple , which means men take longer to process emotions.


The truth is it takes a truly strong man to be able to cry. Acknowledging that each of us grieve in very different ways can allow men to cope with loss and pain using their own various coping methods. We all grieve despite our gender, race or culture. We grieve because we have loved.


How can you help ? Men by nature don't as easily talk to each other as woman do. Fearing they might appear weak, a man often won't delve into his inner emotions as easily as a woman and the burden of grief becomes heavier. If you know a man who is grieving, arrange a lunch or dinner, meet him for coffee, go for a walk with him and talk. Let him talk. You do this by asking questions and really listening. As you talk Cheap Men's Nike Dunk High SB New Orleans Saints Gold Black , remember men are more inclined to want to 'do? things rather than ?feel? things. If you can get a man talking about his feelings of grief, then suggest something concrete he can do. Working on a project to memorialise his loved one, perhaps. He needs to do something that will show results.


While California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is known for his action films, few knew of his affinity for the sun. Turns out he is hell bent on converting California to solar.


3.2 Billion Dollar Plan


This past week, the State of California became the undisputed biggest proponent of solar power in the United States. Faced with a growing population, limited energy sources and the occasional rolling blackout each summer season Cheap Men's Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Dark Charcoal Bright Pink , the state really had no choice. With backing from Governor Schwarzenegger, the state has just implemented the biggest solar industry subsidiary every undertaken by a state in an effort to quell the energy crunch.


On January 12, 2006, the California Public Utilities Commission voted 3 to 1 to adopt a plan to encourage the use of solar roof systems by residents through a 3.2 billion dollar rebate plan. Known as the California Solar Initiative, the goal is to convert as much as six percent of the peak energy demands in the state to solar platforms. Put in practical terms, the goal is place solar systems on roughly one million homes in the state Cheap Men's Nike Dunk Low Pro SB Ironstone Barn White , particularly new homes. Approximately 15,000 homes in the state now have solar systems for energy generation.


When in use, the residents will receive an astonishing rebate of $2.80 cents per watt on their utilities bill. On top of this subsidy, state residents will be able to claim tax credits from the federal government as well as direct subsidies.


In turn, California is hoping to both reduce the stress on the current electrical grid system while also avoiding the costs associated with building and running massive new power generating stations necessary to feed the energy crunch associated with a growing population. It is estimated the power generated through California Solar Initiative will be sufficient to replace the need for five massive, expensive new power generation complexes.


In addition to the economic benefits of the new plan Cheap Men's Nike Dunk High Pro SB Black White , Californians going solar can reap significant benefits through net metering laws. Under such laws, residents will be able to tie solar platforms into utility electric grids and effectively sell power back to the California utilities. Depending on the size of the solar platform, net metering can result in reduction of electrical bills from 50 percent to complete elimination.


For a state suffering growth problems, the California Solar Initiative is a major m.
