Need A New Energy Source? Try Algae!

Image
Creating new sources of energy has been on of the main focuses of the world today. Fossil fuels are great, but they are in limited supply. Fossil fuels are used because they are compressed carbon atoms that can be utilized, and gives off carbon dioxide. There are various things such as water, and air that is rather plentiful that we could use instead, but research is still being done in order to figure out how to best use these items to create energy. Wind energy has been harnessed fairly well with giant turbines that can convert the wind into usable energy. Also, corn is being used as an alternative energy source. In regards to the fossil fuels, instead of going deep with the earth, and pulling out suppressed carbon dioxide particles from way down there, we could use the carbon dioxide already present in our atmosphere. Many people know that plants are essential to our survival. We eat plants in order to help keep us alive, but plants also play an important role in the life cycle...

AOL HD - Atomic Mitch Gives A Review

Image
If you remember the days when you would go to the grocery store, and get a free CD with the software to load up AOL, you're not alone (and you're probably NOT under 25). AOL did an amazing thing when they gave out free CDs for people to be able to sign up for their online service. Albeit, the internet service was rather slow, but it did work, and helped to bring the world wide web to those who could barely afford to buy dinner. Unfortunately, AOL is not the market leader that it used to be when it comes to internet service, but now they have something else on the horizon called AOL HD. AOL HD was launched back at the end of 2011 for Google TV, and Samsung Smart TV. It had already been launched on Roku, and Boxee, and now was ready for the other versions of streaming technology. According to a press release the whole point of doing this was because the company realized that people are now starting to get more, and more of their entertainment from streaming video. AOL wan...

Is Your Dentist Still Studying To Be A Dentist?

Image
Taking care of your teeth is important, especially when you are young. During your youth you will get a new set of teeth that will replace your baby teeth. Sometimes that is not easy to deal with as you have to be careful not to eat something that will cause your teeth to fall out too soon. Playing with your loose teeth during this time can be fun. If you practice, you can even make whistling noises with the gap in your teeth. When your teeth are suppose to come out, this isn't so bad, but when you don't take care of your teeth, and they come out because of tooth decay, then you need to see a dentist about your teeth. Getting your teeth checked out by a dentist can be an interesting experience. Some dentists are very dry, and straight forward with the information that they give you. Some dentists have a sense of humor, and try to incorporate that into their practice. Regardless of what kind of dentist you get, you can be sure that they are going to poke, and prod inside o...

Computers - Cell Phones - Telemarketers - Thoughts By Carl Hurley

Image
We have made some great steps in innovation when it comes to computers, cell phones, and even telemarketers. With computers we have gone from having a computer that will take up a whole floor of an office building to one that is so small it could fit in our backpack, and some can fit in our back pocket (although you have to be careful not to sit down while its still back there). Cell phones have come a long way as well. I still remember the ones that had a receiver the size of half a phone book. It looked like an enlarged version of a G.I. Joe combat phone. And to really show your high level of societal status you could have the thing bolted to the floor board of your car. It even had its own separate battery (about the size of your car battery) so that you could talk on the phone as you drove....for $10 per minute. Now they are about the size of a wallet. They even can have the same amount of computing power as your computer at home. There are even cell phone lockers that can get...

It's Too Heavy - So Sad, Yet So Cute

Image
If you have ever had to deal with a three year old you know how difficult they can be at times. Sometimes they want to dress themselves even though they have no idea that their head goes through the hole in the middle that's designed for the head, as oppose to, the small hole at the end of the long fabric tube made for the the arm. Then there are the times when they want to pour themselves a cup of orange juice, and they can barely hold the carton with their two hands, and end up knocking over the cup, and spilling the orange juice all over the place, and getting orange juice on your brand new dx3 . And who could forget the times when they think the family dog needs a bath, and they go and grab the hose with running water coming out of it to give the dog a bath...while the dog is still standing in the dry dirt patch. From here you can guess what happens when you combine water, dry dirt, and a dog that doesn't want an impromptu bath. Good times, good times! Of course, very...

Pimp My Horse - Blinging Out Your Horse In Style

Image
For many of you, you are familiar with MTV's Pimp My Ride where the cast goes to find people that have vehicles that are not functioning too well, and do some amazing things to trick them out. Well, unfortunately there hasn't been anything done for horses...until now. I'm not sure what channel this would be one (if it were real), but someone decided to do a special show called "Pimp My Horse". As you can guess, the show is all about tricking out your horse to make it look, not just amazing but the "Shizzle to the Finizzle". In this episode, they feature a horse named "Flip" who is just your average horse that is doing what it can to get by. Unfortunately Flip doesn't have any nice accessories like the other horses, so on "Pimp My Horse", the host decides to do something for Flip to make him look amazing and the envy of all the other horses. I'm not going to spoil it for you, but let's take a look at all the amazing thi...

Project Google Glass - Will It Change The Way We Hurt Ourselves?

Image
For those who missed the update, Google has announced that they are officially working on a new product that is under development under the code name "Project Glass". Essentially, it is a pair of specialized glasses that you can use to access various forms of social media, as well as, various apps, and widgets that tell you things like the time of day, the weather, and weather or not the subway has been shut down. It looks very interesting...and also rather dangerous. If you have ever walked into someone, or into traffic while texting you can understand what I am talking about. I think the idea overall looks amazing. Its just figuring out a responsible way to use the product that is the question. One of the ways that we could learn to use this kind of product safely would be to learn how to develop our peripheral vision. You can do this by pointing your index fingers at each other, and look at the space in between them. As you bring your fingers closer together, you will ...

Credit Repair - There Is Hope

Image
There are several reasons why people have a bad credit score. Sometimes they are legitimate, like when you have a sudden illness in your family which causes huge medical bills. But then there are those bad credit scores caused by things that are not as understandable, like when you decide you need 20 pairs of shoes costing $1,000 per pair. But while many would argue whether or not the reason they have bad credit is understandable or not, the point is that people still need a way to get out of their bad credit situation. You can rebuild credit fast if you take a few steps towards doing so. If you are still confused as to how to clean up your credit report , one of the first things you need to do is find out exactly what your credit score is, and what all the major credit bureaus have on file for you. If you don't have the time, or resources to do the research that you need in order to repair your credit, then you may want to do some research to find the best credit repair servi...

Continuing Education - Online or In Person?

Image
There are thousands of people who go to college every year. The time it takes to sit in a classroom, and learn from a professor can be very time consuming. Since most students have to work in order to put themselves through school, it is not always feasible to go to a normal class. Sometimes classes have to be taken online. There are many programs available online where you can get your degree through online only classes, or programs where you do part of your time in a real classroom, and part of your time in an online classroom. Not all college courses are for those who are getting their degree for the first time. Some of the courses are for those who need to complete continuing education requirements. Sometimes you have to do special training classes in order to satisfy continuing education requirements. There are various ways to do this online, even if you need to take an ea ethics course. If you do a search online, you are bound to find lots of places where you can take contin...

Personal training

Image
Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell I recently opened up a personal training studio, and I am using a new company for my business phone and internet. A friend had told me about it and I wanted to try it out to find out more about it. Although the economy has been tough as of late, I honestly believe that this business venture will work. I believe that there is a lack of effective one-on-one nutrition and training advice for those who want and need it. I am passionate about helping others to attain their goals, and I believe that I offer something that most other trainers do not. I am deeply invested in the success of my clients, and I work to provide a quality product at a reasonable price. The most important thing for me is to see my clients achieve their goals, whatever their goals may be. I am certified and have a bachelors degree in exercise science. I have always been a fitness enthusiast, and I spent four years in the corporate world before I decided to start my own ...
