What might cause stress:
This is a difficult question to answer, as what might course stress to one puppy may not cause stress to another. This ...
I've come across an interesting article from Yahoo.com's Yahoo Green section. With the current escalating trend of the price of oil and gasoline (including their bi-products), the cost of owning a hybrid car is slowly making sense. People before think that gas cars are cheaper than hybrid (gas/electric) cars, and that hybrid will not pay for itself in the long-run. This idea is being challenged as oil reaches record-high prices this 2008.
True that you still cannot quickly recover your capital costs for hybrid cars, but its resell value is pretty rock solid. Hybrids are just holding ...
We've temporarily moved to the mountains! Now I don't know what smiley to put behind that so let me list 4 in the order of how we felt about it.... :D :) :( :| :)
We ended up smiling of cours, taking life's "blows" one after the other. I keep picturing the great bamboo, how it is blown and bent by the wind only to return to its original tall state. Well, anyway, enough with the yada yada and let me move on.
I brought my trusty work Dell notebook with me and a Nokia E61i. I've ...
Senator Hillary Clinton is set to end her ambitions of entering the White House as the first female president of the United States. www.Cnn.com and www.BBC.co.uk both headlines this hard decision as the 16th month of her campaign as the democratic representative ends today. She is expected to throw her unity chip to keep the democrats solid behind their lone candidate, Senator Obama.
It is most likely that Obama will choose Clinton to be his running candidate for the Vice President position. But time will tell if the wounds would quickly heal, this ...
BBC.co.uk has just reported that the unemployment rate of the United States has risen from 5% to 5.5%. Considering the USA is the world's biggest economy, news such as this is a shocker in all areas. Unemployment in the end will give way to lower purchasing power, which later feeds into industry stalls... hard-core recession.
The rise by .5% happened in just this May 2008. Analysts have recorded it as the fastest in two decades.
The US Labor Department said the economy lost 49,000 non-farm jobs.
It follows a 28,000 decline in April, and ...
What do you do when number 2 is near impossible... and you're hundreds of thousands of miles away from the nearest john? You PANIC!
I read from CNN.com here that fixing the toilet problem of the International Space Station has been the top priority mission today. "So much so that a spare pump was rushed from Moscow, Russia, to Cape Canaveral last week for a last-minute ride aboard space shuttle Discovery. Cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko put in the new pump, and the toilet started working normally again.", CNN says. I must admit that I was ...
I've been thinking... are we a specie driven by weights? From the time one is born it is a standard for one to be placed on top of a scale. I would understand that, plus the occasional weighing in for health and/or professional purposes as age progresses. For some culture the heavier one is the better, for some... less is more appropriate. To the greater majority the average varies, depending on which magazines you read. :)
A lot of people get really stressed out if they appear to be heavier than what they would want. ...
Something about this photo makes me smile! Well before you grin, let me tell you that I'm just happy a garden "gadget" has come along, something that I would really enjoy. Imagine, you're gardening on a hot sunny day, just about finished nipping those bushes to perfection, you take your shirt off, stand on this garden gadget and viola... shower galore.
For extremely hot countries with scorching summers, this product will surely take-off! It is called the Vitco Garden Shower, and it retails for about US$938. Sold right here.
Here's the tech blurb from ...
Stress can be almost anything that makes our puppies react to a physical, mental or emotional stimulus. What may seem just a small trivial situation to us, may be a very ...
With summer almost here our children will once again morph from being mere "tenants" of the home to "dwellers". They'd be spending more time indoors than outdoors with nothing special to do. Well, that is until dad and mom realize that they need to make their children's summer time worthwhile. Sure, give them about 2-3 weeks of "bum" time, their body clocks need this period. But don't leave them at this state for a long time. Inactive minds are difficult to jumpstart when school season kicks back again.
This summer, try the wonderful ...

Re-thinking Hybrid Cars

Water me please
This is wise living.
I keep picturing this scene from Music and Lyrics where Hugh Grant (playing an 80’s singer Alex Fletcher) hires Drew Barimore (as Sophie Fisher, who plays as plant caretaker) to water his apartment plants. Obviously, Alex doesn’t care less what time his plants are fed and just keeps it for the “girls” so [...] -

A Humble City
Hoi An is like setting foot inside one of those old Chinese movies. The elements are all there. From the low-tiled roofs to the narrow streets, Hoi An is a picture perfect replica of what ancient Vietnam used to be. The small city is located in the South Central Coast of Vietnam. In the 16th [...]

Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
