Pull over into the nearest safe spot when the water temperature gauge shows that your car is overheating. Shut off the engine and open the hood, let as much heat escape as possible. Turn your ignition on so your heating system works. Turn on the heat and the blower at full blast for a few minutes in order to subtract more heat from the engine system. Do not shower the engine with cold water, let it cool off gradually. Depending on what climate zone you´re in, that process could take well over an hour.
Check the engine coolant level in the radiator tank. If that level is low, open cap and fill tank with engine coolant. If you do not have any engine coolant with you, you can use cold water as well. Start the engine after it cooled off in order to let the coolant or water circulate into the radiator system. Keep the engine running in 'neutral'. Fill more coolant or water into the tank until the level reaches the mark 'hot'. Close cap and watch the temperature gauge for a few minutes while the engine idles. If the engine does not overheat again, you can safely drive on. If you used water to fill the tank, you should drive to the nearest service station and replace some of the water in your radiator with engine coolant.
Watch the temperature gauge after you started the cooled-off engine with the freshly added coolant or water. It is okay if the gauge goes over the safe limit mark for a few seconds, then bounces back into safe temperature regions. That means your thermostat is working properly. However, if the engine overheats again for more than 30 seconds, shut it off. Most likely, you will need a new thermostat, or in some very rare instances, a new hose. Do not attempt to drive an overheated car to the nearest service station for a thermostat replacement, which is an inexpensive and quick repair job which just about any mechanic can do. Have the car towed.

How to Host a Ladies' Luncheon at ChurchIn Feburary 2016 09,

Form a committee of helpers who will assist you.
Decide whom you will invite to the luncheon beyond your group of church women, such as friends and family.
Plan the logistics. Pick a date and time for the luncheon. Most afternoon meals start between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Select a room or outdoor area on church property that will accommodate your group, and ask permission to use the location.
Identify the purpose of the luncheon, whether it's a fundraiser, a devotional, a social or something else. Pick a theme for the luncheon that's connected to the purpose. If the lunch is a social event, the theme could be 'Friendships in Bloom,' with décor and food centering on springtime and flowers.
Select light food items for your menu. Popular choices include finger sandwiches or cold cuts, soups, salads and fruit. If possible, connect your menu with the theme. For example, if you're hosting a 'Warming Hearts and Hands' luncheon to raise money to clothe the homeless, serve an array of hot soups. Don't forget about beverages and dessert.
Decide who will prepare the food. If it is a potluck, post the menu in a public place so women can sign up to bring specific dishes. Instead, you may want to assign the food preparation to few volunteer cooks. If you don't want to cook at all, buy the food or use a restaurant to cater the event.
Invite women to the luncheon by sending formal invitations to people's homes or handing them out at church. If it's more informal, ask the pastor to make an announcement at service or post the event in the church bulletin. Instruct ladies to R.S.V.P. so you can get an accurate head count.
Plan activities for the luncheon. A short devotional, games or songs are all appropriate for an informal social event. Arrange for a qualified keynote speaker if your goal is to inform or educate women. If it's a fundraiser, share information about who is benefiting from the money.
Decorate the tables and rooms where the luncheon will be held either the night before or that morning. Designate special tables for food, beverages and dessert. Make sure there are enough tables and chairs for every woman. Cover the tables and include a centerpiece. Decorate the room according to the theme.
Stand by the door and greet each woman as she arrives. After everyone has gathered, thank the ladies for coming and then give thanks to the Lord for the food.
Start the activities as soon as most people have eaten. If your room is large, use a microphone so everyone can hear you.
Close in prayer at the end of the luncheon. Stand by the door as women leave and thank them for coming.
