This week I'll be reviewing the book "Crash Course: Preparing for Peak Oil" by Zachary Nowak. The book has a concise introduction to the concept of Peak Oil, followed by what I see as the strength of the book: an interesting discussion on scenario planning, rounded out by an extensive guide to the skills and knowledge that will be necessary to make the best of a less-than-ideal future.Scenario pl

Rather than getting on some forums and researching their options, most 17 year olds throw a tin can muffler on their 92 Civic and give performance parts a bad name.

Let's hope Spears Junior isn't taking any driving advice from his mother. Having collided with yet another vehicle in LA this weekend, Britney Spears opted for a toy car instead yesterday.
Clutching a Starbucks iced coffee, she gave son Sean Preston, two, a driving lesson in his £150 Fisher Price mini-Cadillac in the driveway of her Beverly Hills home.

Many of our American social ills also plague other societies.
What we call ghetto, white trash, nigga or wigger is called “chav” in England.

Stock market is like a market place for businessmen. In a public market, goods are sold to the public. In a stock market however, stocks are sold to the public. Company stocks are sold in the form of shares. The more shares a person buys in a company, the higher his or her stocks are for that particular company.The stock market consists of the primary market and the secondary market. Primary marke
IntrovertOriginally uploaded by Clearly Ambiguous Since I did a post to explain what bibliophilia is, I decided to explain what introversion is--and why introverts, 25% of the world's population, suffer so much. The Bad NewsAs I said before, introverts make up only 25% of the world's population. Not only that, but because extroverts are unable to understand us, we are the most opressed minority group in the world. Not only that, but most people think we're abnormal, anti-social, or crazy. We are not. And being an introvert is not a bad thing--the media tends to peg crazy people as 'loners', which just perpetuates these stereotypes. The Virginia Tech gunman was labeled as introverted by the media.8 Types: ISTJ, ISFJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISTP, ISFP, INFP, and INTP.The Good NewsAs introversion inc
Pricing one's product or service is often a stumper. Are we pricing too high? Are we pricing too low? Set a price and this will often result to pricing anxieties.
Here, then, is a crash course in pricing that, hopefully, can bring about a bit of much needed peace of mind, at least when it comes [...]
By: Mike Rosania The problem is that most people have no clue where to start. Rather than getting on some forums and researching their options, most 17 year olds throw a tin can muffler on their 92 Civic and give performance parts a bad name. You've probably seen the Fast and Furious and thought, "Dang, those cars are sweet!" But not all parts are created equal. Start by identifying your goals and expectations. Also, think about the long run. You might save a few bucks now by going with a new muffler, but if you pay a little more you can add a full exhaust and really see results. I suggest you start by making a list of a few parts you are considering. Then research which ones work best for your vehicle and which order you would like to add them. Lastly, it is worth it to shop around online. Spending half an hour online comparing a few shops can save you a few hundred bucks.This article will bring you up to speed on exhaust headers.1. How much power can you get from exhaust header
Hey ATOMIC fans. What's happenin'?!
Haven't been around lately. Been a little under the weather. I'm sure you're adjusting a little bit to the flu season too.
Anyway, I'm taking a poll right now asking What's the Biggest Problem With Your Guitar Playing? It appears a ton of guitarists consider not knowing music theory their biggest problem. So I wrote this little introduction to/crash course in basic useful theory.
I think you'll especially like the last section, "Chord Families."
The Major Scale
Scales are how we understand the guitar.
The Major Scale is the scale all players should learn, the Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do scale. The Major Scale has 7 notes, with each note referred to as a "degree."
For instance:
The C Major Scale is made up of C, D, E, F, G, A, B, and C again. The first degree is C, the second D, and so on.
The G Major Scale is comprised of G, A, B, C, D, E, F#, and G again. The first degree is G, the second A, and so on.

by Anthony CoeWhen people think about self-publishing, also know as “vanity publishing”, they think of scams where you send in your short story to a publisher and they sell you a thousand copies and send you on your way as a “published author”. They think about the wannabe author who just couldn’t get their manuscript accepted by a publisher. The truth of the matter is that it takes more work to be a self-published author. You will have to do everything yourself. The phrase “Vanity Publishing” doesn’t apply.If you are up to the challenge rest assured you will be in good company. Some famous self-published authors include; Richard Nixon “Real Peace” and John Grisham “A Time to Kill”, others include, Mark Twain, Virginia Woolf, E.E. Cummings, William Blake, Edgar Allen Poe, Benjamin Franklin and Walt Whitman just to name a few. John Grisham sold his first book out of the trunk of his car.The advancements in business and home computing and DSL, T3 connections and H
Life insurance is a means for providing financial protection for your family in the event of your death. A life insurance contract is relatively straightforward; you agree to pay a premium at regular intervals, and the insurance company agrees to pay a certain sum of money to your beneficiary upon your death.There are three parties to a life insurance contract. First, there is the insured. This is the person whose life is being insured under the policy. Next, there is the insurer. The insurer is the insurance company who underwrites the risk. And third, there is the owner. The owner and insured are not necessarily one and the same. Someone can buy a life insurance policy to insure the life of someone else, such as their spouse.The person who buys the policy is the owner, and the person whose life the policy is based on is the insured. When the owner and the insured are different people, premium payments are the responsibility of the owner.Every life insurance contract also has a benefi
Crash Course“Life is a crash course. Learn as much as you can.” Rebecca De Mornay.I’m still learning and having a great time trying new things. If I ever get to the point when I’m not willing to add something interesting to my life, it’s time to hang up my hat.I retired from teaching Special Education and thought I’d live a life of leisure, but I was bored to death after a year of eating Bon Bons, walking the tread mill, to counter the Bon Bons, and to much lounging time.After a year of being retired from public school, I began to teach again; this time, at Still Creek Boys and Girls Ranch. I have been teaching language arts to junior high and high school kids. The kids are either neglected, abused, or both. They come to live there because their parents can’t or won’t keep them. Every case is a sad one, but the good news is, they get away from the abuse.We have several kids who were adopted from Russian orphanages, and then abandoned here in the states, by their adoptiv
As foreclosures, short sales and REO (Real Estate Owned/Bank Owned) properties increase, so do the number of investors. Loudoun County has seen a sharp increase in "distressed" properties and more and more investors are popping up, as well as buyers trying to get a "great deal" on their new home by "buying a foreclosure". Before all you investors and buyers get too excited, make sure you understand exactly what's involved and whether it's really worth it.
Pros
You can get a 5 to 15 percent discount, possibly more on the property
Your choices and opportunities increase daily as the number of distressed properties increases every day
If you are a handyman or contractor or have a connection to one, you can do all the needed work at much less than the market value of your improvements and potentially sell the property for a profit or have equity built in
Cons
You must know how to search for them
You have to be very patient - banks can take up

Crash Course SEO There is one thing I have learned after a week of fulltime crash course on SEO - It is very easy to learn but it takes a lot of work.Last June the first Philippine SEO Contest was announced to the public and the contest was open to everyone, both SEO experts and amateurs.

This morning, I was able to be of service to JS, a 29 year-old father of three. He looked fairly healthy and if I saw him on another setting, I wouldn’t have known that he’s afflicted with a potentially life-threatening disease. But JS was not here to ask what disease he has. He knows what he’s up against and he’s been fighting it since last year.
4 years PTC – The patient noted the appearance of pin-point rash-like lesions on the volar aspect of the forearm and anterior thigh. The lesions appeared spontaneously without precipitating factors. The lesions became migratory, increasing in size and resembled hematoma. They resolved without any intervention and consult. No fatigue, weight loss or loss of consciousness was noted.
2 years PTC – The patient noted a growing abdominal mass on the left flank. The mass was non-tender, firm and wood-like in consistency. Early satiety, anorexia, weight loss, palpitations and gum bleeding were also noted.

This is another good read on CDOs et al from the Sydney Morning Herald. All I can say, is that this will eventually end in a very, very, very bad way. It's more than a feeling, it's a script that has played out many times in histoire where excessive debt and leverage coming undone, unravels all else in financial systems. It's leverage at the heart of financial blowups, and a changing of the rules. I'm curious to see what they conjure up in Congress in terms of tax changes for the LBO operators - hearings get underway on Capitol Hill in the coming week.As for the stock market, weekly RSI is starting to look better and perhaps my call in late Spring for 1550 on the S&P still has a chance. But with rising oil and bond yields I just wonder how much of a chance. Perhaps earnings and corporate outlooks will do the trick? We'll know soon enough as they begin to flow in the coming week. Oh, and did I mention the falling dollar? Sooner or later someone is going to notice that a

Companies normally issue stocks to raise capital in order to fund their expanding business operations, in return for bigger profits.

The money then goes to the company for their operations.The stocks once owned by the investors can then be traded on the stock exchange, a glorifie
