Energy Efficient 35MPG Diesal Cars and Trucks
03.22.08 (1:53 am)   [edit]
I read a very interesting article today at mpgomatic.com. Its about how 35MPG diesel cars and trucks are being made in the U.S. but never sold here. Every one of them gets exported out of the US. "Why?" you may ask. They do it because recent emission standards have been strictened, making it nearly impossible for diesel cars/trucks to pass emission standards tests. Here's a video about it below that I found on the 'Y-tube'.

How to go to School and Work at the Same Time
03.16.08 (11:50 pm)   [edit]

Co-Op education is where you go to school part of the year and work the other part of the year to get hands on work experience. Businesses prefer students who come out of Co-Op programs for many reasons, one reason is that they have relevant work experience in the industry. Plus they know their not just partying all summer, or working some irrelevant part time job.

Kettering University is known as having the best engineering co-op programs in the world. They were ranked the #1 university in the nation for industrial and manufacturing engineering by US News and World Report. They place students in companies beginning their freshman year. Students do get paid for working, and paid well. Every 3 months you will rotate between school and your job to get relevant work experience. You can learn more about their co-op video by watching the video here.

Now that you've seen what the students think about the co-op program, its time to see what the teachers think about it. Ive included a video I found on Kettering University's website were teachers discuss their views of the co-op program. Im having a bit of trouble posting it so here's the link to the video of what the professors think of the co-op program.

Why atheism is very, very convenient
03.11.08 (2:38 am)   [edit]

I watched a video and it brought up a lot of things I been thinking of lately. It all started when I saw the preview of the movie Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed. Ben Stein has always made a lot of sense to me, and this movie he's made makes a lot of sense to me too. Mainstream science is still holding on to Darwinism and it's theories. Do we really still believe we evolved from apes? That mammals may have evolved from a pool of mud hit by lightning? Why have we forgotten and denied the possibility of there being intelligent design?

Discount Seiko Watches
03.10.08 (3:47 pm)   [edit]

At BlueDial.com I found a Seiko Watch that was at a steep discount compared to the other sites I browsed. Their site has Seiko watches for both men and women, and their watches come with a 3 year warranty. All watches come in their original packaging.

Seiko is known world-wide as a high quality time piece. Seiko timers are even installed at the Olympic Games in Tokyo, Sapporo, Nagano, Lillihammer and Barcelona.

One of their watches that fascinate me is the Seiko Kinetic watch. These watch are electrically charged by your movement and will always be exactly on time. The technology Seiko brings to the table is truly astounding.

Fresh Gulf Oysters
03.07.08 (4:00 am)   [edit]
Photobucket

What did the two oyster's say to each other at the Sushi bar? At least we're not getting cooked.

Oysters are world reknown as an excellent source of Zinc, vitamin B-12, omega-3 fatty acids and as a world class delicacy. It's good to be 'oyster aware'. When at a Sushi bar or other place you can order raw oysters, be aware that it is not good to consume too many uncooked oysters. This is ecspecially true if your diabetic, have a liver disease, or an immune system problem. This is because of the Vibrio vulnificus bacteria that raw oysters might contain. You can learn more about Gulf oysters by visiting Be Oyster Aware .Com

Before you bid you should check to see if your in Charter.com's coverage zone. Charter covers 29 US state's so most likely you are in their coverage zone, but its good to just check anyway. You don't want to bid on a lifetime of internet you can't use in your current location. Just go check, if your one of the lucky ones in their coverage area then bid and save a ton of money on the cost of internet.

Also there is a lot of talk about taxing the internet by powerful politicians like Newt Gingrich and others. This will most certainly increase our internet bills. If I had the money I would even go so far as to bid how much my current cost of internet would be for the next 50 years if it remained at the current cost.

03.06.08 (9:36 pm)   [edit]

There are many ways to open command prompt and other files if you do not have the access priveleges to do so. One easy way to do it is by creating a simple .bat file, storing it on a flash drive, then using it to open any file you might want.

All you need to put in your .bat file is:
@echo off
command.com

The .bat file above will open command prompt for you, bypassing any access restrictions. In most cases this technique will work.

Here's a quick video I found on youtube on how to do it.
