A wise man once said that only two things are certain in life – death and taxes. Sadly, that grows more true as the years progress. In the dawning days of 2012 it’s hard to find something you can truly count on. Even cars. The days of even being able to count on transport are in peril. A few years ago your car would start the first time like a goulds pump.
Those times are over. Quality like that just doesn’t get made.
Anyone who can solve this dilemma would be a rich man…Assuming they had the transport to get them to work.
The discussion regarding who should govern the country is still in full swing and there’s a long road ranged ahead before the decision is made. But what a day that will be; The winning side will drape their campaign office with bunting and the celebration will last long into the night. Add some birthday cupcakes and it would look just the 4th of July and your birthday at once.
The debate is followed with great passion by some folks, so let’s keep track and see which side proves they have the best claim.
Anyone who has a smart phone knows those things can take over your life. A dead battery can leave those who become truly addicted in fits as they face a day without their hand-held brain.
The most addictive of all phones, apart perhaps from the iPod, is the Blackberry, and the latest version – the blackberry tablet – promises to make its phone-based cousin look puny in its capacity to run and rule people’s lives. With a 7-inch screen and 32Gb of storage the addiction factor is going to be high.
Will you be seduced? Let’s hear your views…
And so the giant, jaw-cracking snore-fest that is the Iowa caucus is over and the contenders for the more serious political bun fights to come are easier to review. The great American voters have spoken and those with mere dreams of the White House have [mostly] surrendered to reality and made a dignified exit. Now we face the next round.
And this rarified level of combat engages some very smart people. Educated people in crisp suits are in close attendance to the candidates, ready to whip open an aluminum briefcase and bring forth wondrous ways to deliver what is often a difficult message. Their skills are as remarkable as they seem effortless. But will they pay off? All we can do is wait and see…
It feels like two years since this whole election circus began…and there’s still no end in sight.
For what is actually well over a year, CNN and the other news networks will doggedly report every trivial wrinkle of the entire process, inducing jaw-cracking boredom in even the most loyal viewers.
Then when the election finally arrives and voting turnout is predictably dismal they’ll spend at least another week desperately trying to define what could have made the great American public lose interest.
Well, duhhhhh?!
In Europe an election takes just eight weeks. You get to campaign your butt off for two months, but then you’re done. Why can’t we change the rules and get it done that way here??
The eyes, so they say, are the windows of the soul, but some girls don’t take good care of the glass. A few strokes of eyelash enhancer allow any girl’s eyes to convey whole essays of meaning with one subtle glance. And as most husbands will tell you, this is well known by their wives.
Good looks open doors. Good eyes burst the hinges. It’s up to you, girls, what result you’d prefer…
It would be hard to find anyone these days who can bear to be more than ten feet from their cellphone. It would also be hard to prove these seductive gadgets have not become the must-have accessory of modern times.
But their growing list of abilities causes some folk some serious stress when the network is not working right. If you have a cellphone junkie in your circle of friends you know this only too well. And for them, some tech-friendly genius has created the home cell booster which can solve all such woes.
If you love your phone and need unbroken service take a look and see if you can dare live without one…
Thanks, probably, to the influence of Hollywood a good cigar is perceived as a sign of success and refinement. But it’s not unknown for our leaders in D.C to be seen inublowing smoke rings, so perhaps that’s not always true.
The argument can still be made, though, that a well-made smoke like Dutch masters cigars adds a certain air of refinement to your overall look. Try sharing some at your next social event and see if this curious rule works for you.
The stress and discipline of modern life can have some unwelcome side effects. A short vacation can cure some of them but if it affects a couple’s life in the bedroom that needs another solution.
A lot of people look at pills for the answer but they’re not always the right one; A simple change in routine or even some new wardrobe, like some luxurious corsets, can often rekindle the joys of less stressful days. They’re less costly than pills and far more fun to open, so before you try a drugstore or the doctor take a peek at that link…

The full flowering of Summer may be over for some of us but the cool days of Fall still offer a great range of outdoor fun for those who have the gear and the nerve. Among the most popular outdoor indulgences are the vast range of ATV’s you can buy.
The power and unstoppable torque of a typical ATV makes for a very memorable ride but steering across some of the rougher terrain you encounter can be a lot less fun. The solution is to fight tough with even tougher and fit atv power steering. Add a power kit to your ride and you’ll clamber over steep hills like they weren’t even there. And the control you get is amazing.
If you do ATV you need to do this, that’s all any fan needs to know.
