How You Can Cut Energy Costs , With a New Reflective , 'Cool Roof'.
LifeHacker recently reported on the benefits
of installing a new cool roof, including
keeping monthly utility costs down. .
A cool roof reflects more sunlight from the
surface of your roof, which helps to keep
your house cool when temperatures rise. .
This is usually done with lighter
colored materials, but can also
incorporate materials designed
to reflect infrared light without
changing the roof's appearance. .
According to the U.S. Department of Energy,
this type of roof can bring the exterior temperature
of a roof down about 50 degrees on a hot day.
This can help bring the interior temperature
of a home down to safer levels,
even without air conditioning.
LifeHacker points out that the price of installing
a new cool roof is similar to a traditional roof,
which is already a costly investment.

When shopping around for cool roofs, a number of
materials are available, depending on the slope of
your roof, the local climate and your aesthetic taste.

This includes everything from shingles coated in an
IR reflective coating for steep roofs, to light-colored
single-ply membranes for low-slope roofs.
Other approaches involve reflective mineral
coatings or layers of reflexive marble.
Green roofs, or living roofs, which are one of the most
sustainable types of roof, are another option for reducing
interior temperatures, however, the cost can be prohibitive

How to Identify , and Take Steps to Fix , a Codependent Relationship.
Lifehacker offered advice for identifying a codependent relationship and tips for what to do about it.
Tammy Nelson, a therapist and author,
says a codependent relationship can be a reflection
of low self-esteem and a negative self-image.
Symptoms of codependency include
the need to fix other people,
the inability to set clear boundaries,
the perpetual sacrificing of one’s own
needs for your partners, and feeling
resentful that your desires are
never taken into account, Tammy Nelson, sex and relationship
therapist and author, via Lifehacker .

Caring for your partner isn't always unhealthy,
but self-sacrifice with little in return may be
a sign that you're in a codependent relationship.
Another clear sign of a codependent
relationship is if either partner's sense
of worth comes solely from the other person. .
To heal from codependency in
a relationship, it is important to cultivate
healthy selfishness. Being able to care
for yourself first means having the
capacity for self-care in order to be
present for yourself, your partner,
and your family, Tammy Nelson, sex and relationship
therapist and author, via Lifehacker .
According to Nelson, this can include everything
from eating well and exercising to spending
time with friends or finding new hobbies.

and more realistically, Tammy Nelson, sex and relationship therapist and author, via Lifehacker .
Lifehacker points out that therapy
may be a way for both parties
to learn new coping skills.
Couples therapy could also help to develop and maintain healthy boundaries in your relationship
