Enough of High Gasoline Prices! Get an Electronic Car!

15 05 2007

Sick and frustrated at the pump? Can you cope with those rising gasoline prices? Well, it’s really getting out of hand…..so read this…..
Martin Eberhard, CEO and co-founder of Tesla, drives the Tesla Roadster. Eberhard wanted to create an electric car that uses no gasoline, without skimping on style, speed or function.
It goes zero to 60 in about four seconds. Its top speed is 130 miles per hour. And it doesn’t use an ounce of gasoline!
The Tesla Roadster, is a new car that’s fueled entirely by electricity and could be hitting the lot just in time. Today the Energy Department reported that the average gallon of regular gasoline is now $3.10 — a new nominal record price for the United States.
“It’s time for us to do something about our dependence on foreign oil,” Eberhard said. “But I wasn’t ready to go drive around some goofy little car. … Think of how electric cars look. All the ones you’ve ever thought of.” “Our ultimate goal is to be the next great American car company,” he said, “to have a whole line of cars for every kind of driver and all of them not burning gasoline.

Wonderful goals, Martin…..and Good Luck!!

U.S. Postage Increase Again?

14 05 2007

United States citizens still remember freshly when the postage rates last went up in January of 2006. The big question we are all asking is…..Why another increase so soon? Well, we’ve got to grin and bare it!
Starting today, Monday, May 14, 2007 a first-class letter will go up 2 cents making it 41 cents.
As an added service, the U.S. Postal Service will issue the Forever stamp, which will always be valid as First-Class postage on standard envelopes weighing one ounce or less, regardless of any subsequent increases in the First-Class rate. The stamp art depicts the Liberty Bell, which is perhaps the most prominent and recognizable symbol associated with American independence.

Bloomberg over Giuliani for U.S. President?

14 05 2007

According to a poll published in the New York Daily News on Monday, May 13,2007 New York City voters would prefer current Mayor Michael Bloomberg over former Mayor Rudy Giuliani for president of the United States! Forty-six percent of those polled said Bloomberg would make a better president than Giuliani while 29 percent chose Giuliani over Bloomberg, according to the poll conducted for the Daily News.
As of today, Bloomberg repeatedly has said he has no plans to enter the race. However, should Bloomberg decide to run, Republican Sen. Chuck Hegel of Nebraska suggested the two of them might make a good ticket. Bloomberg succeeded Giuliani as mayor, winning election in 2001 shortly after the September 11 attacks. He was re-elected in 2005.

Still a long road ahead of us….we shall see…



Coffee is Actually Good 4U!

2 05 2007

A latest study, according to panelists at a scientific meeting, discussing the benefits - and risks - of the beverage, “drinking coffee” can help ward off type 2 diabetes and may even help prevent certain cancers! The study which was conducted at The Harvard School of Public Health found evidence that the beverage may protect against certain types of colon cancer, as well as rectal and liver cancer, possibly by reducing the amount of cholesterol.
“It’s not like we’re promoting coffee as the new health food and asking people who don’t like coffee to drink coffee for their health,” says Dr. Rob van Dam of Harvard School. “Just don’t look at coffee as such a negative health image.”
Of course, findings suggest that people who may be extremely vulnerable to caffeine, pregnant women, and children — should limit their coffee consumption.

Stay Healthy…..
